Does anyone of you has problems with overheating when playing games or its just me? I tried with B102, B118 and B122. All of them had the same problem. I think that the thing that it is so thin makes it heat much.
Mine overheats as well, but I don't play games though. It happens with heavy usage, which is quite often for me.

Mine gets hot but I wouldn't call it over heating as it doesn't crash. Overheating implies too much heat causing problems with its function.
This phone does overheat and may cause malfunction on GPS. GPS may failed until you shutdown your phone and keep it cool a while.

I use b122 and skype. Just a small warmth. Nothing major.
If the phone is heating too quick even over basic stuff like moving over the home screen, then do a factory reset.

It will, this phone can run smoother and better than is does right now. And it will.

I don't think it will: I'm running 4.4 on a Nexus7 and performance is quite similar to 4.3. I haven't run any synthetic benchmarks but I don't feel any considerable improvement over 4.3. Unless Huawei includes some optimizations of their own, I don't think you'll notice much difference on 4.4.

Then let's hope for some optimizations from HUAWEI. The easily overheating must be solved.
Hi. I bought the 551 version with 2gb ram and 16gb memory a few days ago. So far the experience has been good. I'm just having problems running the game I regularly play, Crusaders Quest. It slows down to a crawl at times specially if I don't reboot my phone. I'm thinking it's a ram problem. Maybe I should get the 4gb ram one? Or it won't make a difference? Or is it the limitations of the GPU? Should I just switch to the nexus 5 instead?
Appreciate if you guys would chime in before I decide to sell the phone over the weekend. Thanks.

I bought the 551 with 4 gig RAM, and 64 gig HDD. I came from the note 4 edge and haven't looked back. If you let me know what games specifically you are playing I can test them out, but this phone hasn't even broken a sweat for anything I need it to do.

should be related to memory leak in android 5.0.1.. 2gb ram was never enough if memory leak is not fixed..4gb version still can manage and handle the leak, no solution so far unless you root it and install xposed fix memory leak module which also helped me in my case..other than that, just wait till asus push higher version of android such as 5.1 that was said to have better memory management..

Thanks for the explanation. Didn't know a about that since my last android device was kitkat and it was a tablet.
just tried it on my 4gb 1.83ghz zenfone 2. zero lag with the game, but boy that in game graphic is terrible.

Thanks a lot man. Haha. You mean by terrible, the graphics look like 8bit Gameboy or whatnot? It's really like that and I like games like that. Did you go to the actual battle?
Could be throttling due to temps. Its highly unlikely this game is slowing down due to RAM/GPU/CPU unless the device is throttling. What's your ambient temperature there?

It's around 40 degrees Celsius here. So you really think it's not a ram problem? When I run the game I can't even multi task. If I leave the app when I go back to it, it relaunches.

Yea. That's hot, man. Your phone is likely throttling.
The issue with it closing when multitasking is a Asus kernel setting issue. Check your free RAM. I don't believe its a 5.0 leak issue. The leak manifests itself differently than this.
The 4gb version will help with apps closing, but not with the throttling. The Zenfone 2 is beyond powerful enough to run this game.
40°C is still cool enough..i think i remember that i read somewhere before, zenfone kernel started to throttle cpu when it reach 55°c, correct me if im wrong..but unlike my samsung S3, when using lollipop custom rom the temperature usually stays on 40-47°C while using the phone, so phone like this powerful zf2 should not have any problem even on 40°C..but just my two cent yet, anything can be a problem on this phone, unless they update in to newer lollipop and unlock BL so developer may help to improve the kernel and rom level of zf2..

its the problem of low free ram only,dont worry.I guess after updating to latest 5.1 x64bit lollipop...it wont have ram issues hopefully,and this prob only in 2gb,4gb can easily kill anyother phone interms of multitasking

Yes, you'll have far fewer RAM issues with 4gb. I thought you were having other issues, according to your OP.

yes, can't stand that 8bit graphic, didn't even want to get into the actual battle because of the graphic...the phone itself is fine.
I do find this phone heats up more than others I've used....would like to find a custom back, something that would allow greater airflow for gaming. If you play a heavy game, just pop the case off and let the extra airflow through.
Hi All, I was playing contest of champion from kabam, my problem is that when I just launch the game it look really nice in full HD graphic, and after 2 games when the heat goes up, no more HD , and when play after about 1/2 hour the graphic start choppy or even stuck in some point. anyone having the same problem ? Thanks
This might be because zf2 has 64-bit processor running with 32-bit lollipop......32-bit won't handle 64-bit efficiently

According to anandtech's review, the Zenfone 2 is not affected by throttling issues. Maybe the game you want to play is not x86 friendly and the slowdowns are because of binary translation (ARM emulation).

it's not 32bit lollipop, CPU Z clearly says the kernel is 64 bit. plus, how can a 32bit OS manage 4 gb of RAM?

It could.
That said yes, it's a 64b version. Even about phone will show x86_64.
40C Yep, ambient temp and that's HOT -> phone starts OUT AT 40C, so pretty much ANY stress on it's going to hit thermal throttling PDQ.
I tried many tweaks found in the forum to reduce lag, lower heat but my G4 still keeps crashing while playing 3D games. Is it hardware problem, lollipop 5.1 problem or I got a defect phone? Am I the only one experience this?

Not sure what's happening because if it was widespread we'd be hearing about it in every blog.
Mortal Kombat X won't load without wiping data and praying. Others crash on start but will normal run next launch.
I sent WB Games a logcat but I'm starting to think it's the phone.

Crash happens on playing for 5 to 10 mins, becoz cpu or gpu get too hot? I'm not sure...
@kelvinick, Not for me. It's always crashes right away.
On loading a game I noticed the phone immediately starts logging something having to do with the "thermal engine", changes the "wlchg_monitor" alarm to 42c, and the "LCD_management" alarm to 44c.
This phone software is not ready yet for release. Phone is a beast if running cm.

Do you have a case on the phone? I've had devices in the past that would overheat with heavy use in thick cases.

Hmm well no problems here. If it's happening in more than one game I'd lean towards a defective phone.
First I'd try a factory reset before returning the phone.

Hey guys
I have bought a Nexus 5x but recently I have noticed it lags like hell and it gets hot around of camera
Is it because of encryption?
Last year I had Nexus 5 and it was very smooth but Nexus 5X is really laggy and it's not like a nexus
How can I solve this issue?
Sorry for my bad English

What are you doing when you notice this?

You could try decrypting, you can always reencrypt later.

Make sure you have the latest OTA updates. Should be no issues with lag or heat.

Usual Android tips would apply in that case. Most likely related to apps you have running as 24/7 background services, check your Developer Options > Running Services to monitor those.
This device is smooth and snappy. Even when its maximum throttled point (hot) it's faster than a Moto G (cold) which is no slouch itself when it comes to unskinned Android.
LAG
I have an unrooted device and randomly I will get really bad lag. I feel it a lot more when I am using the camera app and trying to switch from one app to another. The solution that works for me is clearing out the cache.
I boot the phone into bootloader, I get a random error (forget what it says), then hold the up volume then and power at the same time for about 3 seconds. Then let go of the volume button. It will take you to a different screen where you can choose clear cache.
Hopefully this helps.
Same problem here. Mine even lags when composing a text as the characters get more and more. Very frustrating.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have the same lag issue, the overall RAM usage is around 1,6 of the 1,8 GB which last not much space for caching apps or something else.
Clean up the cache is not the solution for that problem.
I'm very frustrated with this issue because I use multitasking and therefore the 2 GB RAM seems to be not enough. Right?
My wife has a oneplus x and it feels snappy, and this is more consistent, the Nexus slows down from time to time.

Does anyone know why is my Nexus 5X overheating when using it normally?
Whatever I do the phone always gets too hot around the fingerprint sensor, it doesn't matter if I'm browsing the internet or playing any game it just gets hot.
I recently bought the phone and I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or software since I'm on Android N (DP4).
