When I use the phone to play a game or web browse it starts to get really hot on the top half of the screen.

Is there anyway that I can to see if the phone is overheating/getting too hot?

How hot is it getting? I'm pretty sure every smartphone experiences some kind of heat from gaming or streaming videos specially when you are charging it at the same time.

No and the phone does not get nearly as hot on wifi. Really odd. Also the phone was overcloaked before but I pushed it back to just 1ghz. My phone burning me for using the browder out is not cool though. Think there is an issue?

Well there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the device since you said you put it back to 1 ghz. Really odd if you ask me. Maybe its a battery problem? Sometimes defective batteries cause overheating and can explode.

I'd recommend you flash and reinstall the ROM on your phone. Sounds to me like you've still go some of the old performance updates kicking in making the device hotter!
For me your temperatures are pretty normal. When I am not gamimg my max was 91F!!

Since you claim to have been able to move around the CPU frequency, I assume you are running setCPU. In setCPU you can look at Info tab where under the battery header it also displays the battery tempt. It's normal for the phone to heat while you are charging, on call for long or gaming for long duration but if you are seeing absurdly high reading for the battery tempt, then you better have it checked.
Hmm I had a overheating issue last night, woke up to my phone making a loud noise - I had set setCPU to make a noise when it goes over 40C and it did this today in the early hours of the morning whilst it was charging.
No processes were running other than the normal Live Wallpaper, Keyboard etc.. The phone was quite hot to the touch as well, so I just turned it off.
Weird thing is I have another profile in setCPU to have the max freq at 800Mhz and lowest 100Mhz when the screen is off so don't know how it got so hot?

I'm trying to figure out if this is a normail issue with all these phones or if I received a defective unit. If I use my infuse for no more than 5 minutes on the charger the battery gets really hot and is at 49° right now up from 30°ish. Same thing with using the HDMI addapter. Used it twice to watch Simpson's for an hour the phone was scalding hot at 57° after about an hour. I've had other android devices and none came as close to this. Is there a risk here? Anyone else have this problem?

That's gonna happen while using the phone non stop, as for charging make a profile for when screen off/ while charging I do that and never have over heating issues... I also reboot the phone after I plug it in.

It seems like an error in the graphic drivers. I could come from a cold boot play a game til my phone gets warm then exit the game. After that the phone never cools down until after reboot. This has less to do about a charging profile and deals more with rouge code

I'm assuming that's the performance kernel, and of course it'll overheat (to about 108-115 for normal highs). You're overclocked and charging the battery will be more hot than usual, you don't need to have it clocked so high for something like that, try it at lower frequencies if you're charging.
Why dont you just drop your clock speeds down to 1200. It should still perform like a champ. Expect heat while charging, I am running the ICS Eagles Blood ROM. It happens to mine too, without O.C.
It still has major bugs but it is far smoother than the stock 2.3 lg release that sucks to date.
Really you don't need to OC that high though, and if you do you should consider doing some undervolting.
If you are over clocking to 1.4gz your phone WILL get much hotter.
This us because your CPU is running faster, and generates more heat.

Obviously, lower the CPU speed. This shouldn't have to be said.

It's not an overcloking issue. I had the same problem at 1.2ghz and my phone was set to drop to 800mhz max when the screen was off. If it was an overclocking it wouldn't happen only when the phone is asleep because most phones are setup to use very little of the cpu when they are inactive.

Or, you had an app/s that kept running in the background, thus keeping the CPU awake. No G2X kernels currently support deep sleep (which would basically shut down almost everything when the screen is off), so that's another possibility. I'm on stock and don't need more than 760mHz per core most of the time.

my g2x running cm7 and the stock kernel will overheat when plugged into the wall. this alone caused many screens of death and constant reboots for me. i tend to just pop off the battery door before plugging it in and no more issues.

it really is not but it helps overheating a bit.its not like We OC to 1.8 but 1.4 still unnecessary.
This a dual core even at stock voltage still overheats.I seen single core devices really overheat.Plus Our experiences with overclocking,overheating would be different because each hardware make act different even though it's same phone.Also different locations,humidity temperature that affects phone too.You try to oc to 1.8 in the UK and it won't overheat lol COLD.

Try calibrating your battery.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
There is a rogue app in your drawer. download watchlist app, it will keep track on other apps which are hogging your system.
Battery calibration won't and doesn't do anything useful... its more then likely an app or something running constantly. What's your screen on times? Post a screenshot of your battery usage.

I pretty much don't play games and don't stream music or anything like large data usage. I call text browse and read articles and such, XDA and Facebook is about it for other usage though, light in most eyes, and I under-clock the phone to 700's usually.

I prefer 1.8 but not all chips are created equal... Mine is a refurbished Skyrocket so im quite pleased. Try it out and go up in increments until you are either blown away by the speeds or your phone says NO! (which usually means a reboot frenzy or boot loops)

Those clock speeds are considered safe so the damage would be from extensive strain from extended time at those speeds which could create high heat man chances are you won't have that issue overclocking is totally safe as long as you don't go crazy

The CPU is rated to run 1.2-1.7GHz fine so anything above those will depend on voltage and temperature. Higher voltage/temps are the ones that can cause degradation on a CPU when it gets too high. 1.8GHz should be fine but around that range you may see a higher power draw so if you use it too long it will eat up your battery.
Things that can contribute to higher temps other than higher voltages are use of GPS, keeping the screen on/high brightness, playing games while plugged in, using GPS on a car mount (heat from sun), or just plain browsing for a long time using the modem. Keep in mind that unlike computers and laptops, the phones don't have active cooling (fans) so if you plan to overclock just try to keep the phone in a low temp environment (don't leave phone in car!) :silly:
Just be sure to keep an eye on the temperature. If it starts running north of around 38° C then you should back it off.
That being said, with the badass or SmartassV2 governor I've had plenty of success setting the OC to 1.7

Can install GSam battery monitor for free. Nice to see battery info in the drop down notification screen and will tell you how hot the battery is. People can have different "opinions" on the definition of hot but this way will give you an actual number. Under heavy use my device gets to 97 degree F. Believe that is the highest i've seen it get so far. Will try and play some dead trigger 2 for a solid 15min or so and check battery temp, that will get it high if anything else would!
I can say though coming from an HTC One X+ with overclocked Tegra 3 chip, that phone got up to 120 degrees F, that is freaking hot! Not a bunk device, just made with poor design as the Tegra 3 chip was never made for mobile devices, especially overclocked. Got in over my head with that device!
My silver model gets toasty with moderate use. My brothers grey is always ice cold though.

Well according to the battery monitor my phone was dropping voltage ridiculously high so I'm going to install a battery monitor and keep an eye on it and see if I can duplicate the problem I'm still not sure what it was but I do know that I was in an area that should have had 4G in the highest setting I got was 3G not sure if that causes an issue or not but it's something I'll keep an eye out

I can tell my phone will get slightly warm after some use but nothing crazy.
I have the grey model and it definitely gets warm after some heavy use. I was slightly disappointed by this because I remember reviews said it would never get even remotely warm. Its about on par with how warm my M7 got. I definitely wouldn't say it gets too hot to the point where I couldn't keep it in my hand for an extended period of time though.
I know I said that mine stays cool. With heavy use like gaming while charging, it gets a little warm, however no where near the level the lumia icon got. I'd have to put that brick down every 10 min or so and let it cool because it got to hot to touch.
