Woah is me. My g2x gets hot. So does my mt4g my g2 and anyone else's phone I use. I started to wonder why.....its the way I'm holding it. Yes, simply that. Oh lets not forget after a nice full wipe and everything is installing over again that taxes the processor causing it to get hotter than normal. Oh it gets hot sitting in my pocket doing nothing when it's really hot outside.
Anyone here ever pay attention to when it gets hot and actually wonder why it does?
ITS ALL WONKY!!!
Morfic has a good post somewhere about this. If I recall he made mention that the Tegra 2 can bake a cake under certain conditions (I believe primarily when OC). What kernel are you using?
edit: nvm...
What I'm saying is its general body heat. Our bodies are average of 98.6 degrees. So holding it.in your hand alone will warm up the device.
Think of holding a glass of milk firmly in your hand for a while and see how long it stays cold compared to letting it sit on the table.
In some cases I think it is the phone but I would say 90% or more its the user not the device being a defect.

Yea. I dunno every device I had gets hot under the collar with heavy usage. I think people are nitpicking something. Go to a t-mobile store and abusive every device there and hold it in the same spot the same way and run the same sstuff. .. ill bet in most cases you will have the same results.

This post is completely false. Body heat? Come on.....If this logic were true then why have I picked the phone up off my cocktail table hours after not being used only to feel the phone much hotter than the surface it's sitting on in a air conditioned house? These processors run MUCH hotter than a body temp could ever reach and they were designed to withstand these temperatures. This is what CPU's do when you tax them, they get hot. If you still want to believe this bogus logic then I propose you open a HD game, set it on your cocktail table and only touch the phone with on of your fingers. Play it for about 15 minutes, pick your phone up and tell me if it's hot.
Last time I checked, my laptops CPU/GPU isn't touching anything but still gets hot.

Ok hold your phone by finger tips in the corners and tax the processor and then let it cool down and holdbit firmly from behind and do the same thing and see how much faster it gets hot.
This phone sitting on a table does not get hot at all. In my pocket when its 100 degrees outside does get hot......while doing nothing more than standby.
Its not BS. Yea these processors get hot on their own but I'm making a point that if the back of the phone has body heat covering it, it will get hot or at the least warmer than normal just because of that.
ITS ALL WONKY!!!
I live in an area where it is as hot (soon to be much hotter) as body temperature and my phone does not get noticeably hot unless I am really taxing it. But as far as exceeding design limits of CPUs I would have to be significantly overclocking it and taxing it at the same time.

This is your opinion unless you have the data to prove it. I have had phones get hot without touching them so I'm not believing this and quite frankly not a lot of people are. I asked you a question earlier. Why does my laptop and desktop CPU'S get hot when I never come in contact with them?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
In my opinion the thing that makes the phone warm up mostly is the cell radio. Download a 30mb file ( not on wifi) , turn off the screen, and watch how warm it gets. Also watch the large battery hit.
And every smart phone I know will get hot on a demanding game..

My phone only gets hot near the camera when I bootloop.
It barely gets warm when playing a 3D game like Galaxy on Fire 2 or RPTide (or whatever).
I download CM roms (98mb) over cellular EVERY day and the phone feels cool to the touch.

you are comparing a computer to a phone.
i understand your point, anything being run hard will get hot.
im just saying tho, my battery temp has reached 100 degrees just being outside and not used. its reached 100 when i hold it in my hand covering the back a lot even doing simple tasks. when i hold it without the back totally covered from my hand, it does not get as hot when taxing it more. when my speck case is on it does not get as hot if im holding it fully in the back.

Does anyone experience extreme heat while plugged in? I know this has been discussed elsewhere bute I like the idea of a dedicated thread. Mine gets as hot as 50°c or 122°F. That's blistering hot to me. Does anyone knows if google plans a fix? I'd be happy not to have to worry about my phone frying in the cradle.
Totally not worth a dedicated thread since it's being discussed ad nauseum in the other thread.

Where are you measuring the temp from? Mine gets hot in the car dock too but not overly. I figure google will have tested it. So am not really concerned.
If you want to mitigate the heat while it is charging in the car dock, simply minimise what the phone is doing. ie no nav/gps and screen off. You could for example do this 5 or 10 minutes before your destination and it may be somewhat cooler when you take it out of the dock. Obviously this may not be appropriate as you might need to use it at this point. Just a suggestion though if the heat is a real concern to you.

I am sure is accurate. But I would only get concerned myself, if the phone case itself was alarmingly hot and I feared something was melting or burning. I am not worried about what Temp battery apps or the inbuilt Testing reports. I figure the phone system will shut it self down or reduce load if thresholds are reached.
yeah that's right. But anyway I do not think a temp of 50 celsius is exactly healty for the battery. We do not all live in Alaska and it might get mighty hot in southwest texas or southern Italy... In addiction I think the warmth has something to do with the screen as pretty much EVERY TIME I take the phone off the car dock the screen calibration is all f'd up. I seldom experienced that before but now it is 95% of the times I take it off the car dock. Sometimes even when plugged into the dock.
I love the phone and the dock, and this is maybe the only one glitch I found so far, but is really very annoying when it happens.
If anybody could help I would really appreciate that.
Also, any answer like "put it in front of the AC outlet" to me is pointless. It should not get that hot. period. and owning a Camaro it is not that easy to figure out a good spot to glue the disc on, surely not near an A/C vent...

I don't have the official Nexus One car dock but I have a car dock. Mine is pretty hot after I take it out. GPS on, dimness auto on, screen timeout off, audio to stereo, and charging.
I would say it's not the docks problem but rather its the heavy use of the phone. I've read this is normal on the nexus one since it's got a 1ghz processor. Heavy use = heat.
I've got heat issues in Phoenix but I'm confident it will be fine this summer.
Ironically, i DO live in Alaska, and noted it was a bit warm charging, playing music, and using GPS navigation.

I'm posting this for informative purposes. This is not to ***** about anything or prove anyone wrong. These are simply my findings and my conclusion. I was a sales person for wireless carriers for 8 years and saw this stuff a lot and I would stress test phones before swapping because I hated giving people refurbished crap for them to come back and complain about the same overheat issue. This experience led me to think before doing a device swap.
my G2x battery got hot from day one. From my monitoring I noticed the following.
1. The phone itself was not really hot. Just general radiation from the immediate battery area and it cooled off quickly after battery removal while battery would stay hot for a good 15-20 minutes.
2. Battery temp would hit 106 degrees.
3. Battery life just plain sucked. Charging it 2 to 3 times a day on light use.
T-mobile replaced my battery and after one full day of on and off abuse running 6 quadrants in a row at Max overclock amongst other things and with a thick non breathable case in the back the temp never got over 99 degrees. Prior to swap just reading and posting on xda would spike temps and that was with no case.
So before you decide to do anything pay close attention to what exactly is getting hot. Is the actual device hot or is it just the battery. Is the device a tad warmer simply due to the battery being too hot? Get a battery monitor installed to see the temp. Check your settings such as overclocking undervoltage etc.
T-Mobile just wanted to swap everything but since my phone was not hot and I had a good screen and never a boot or reboot issue even before root and bloat installed etc so I didn't want to take a chance and get a **** device. They also told me it was OK that k needed to charge it 3 times a day. I said with triple the usage on my G2 I almost never needed to charge it at all mid day. While each device varies, one third the battery life on one third the usage is simply not right no matter how you look at it.
So I say pay attention to detail before returning your device especially if your device is a good one because it would suck to get a **** device in exchange for your good one just because of a battery.
EDIT. I do want to add that my battery has spiked to 103.8 degrees while basically doing CPU intensive stuff While charging the entire time. When not on the charger it did not spike as high. After a short time after charge hit 100% it dropped over 1.5 degrees pretty quickly.

My job has very strict security and I am not allowed to bring my phone inside, so my options are leave it on the car or leave it at home. I have to travel a fair distance to my job, so prefer not to leave it at home, but I am concerned about extreme heat and cold in the car affecting my phone. Any suggestions for protecting the phone while left in the car? My work days can range anywhere from 8 1/2 hours to 16+ hours.

the heat itself shouldnt do anything if your phones just hybernating i suggest just putting it under the seat or the glove box were the sun cant get to it.
I think the thing you might need to be concerned with is the battery... extreme temperatures can adversely affect battery life/longevity. Would you be able to just bring the battery in if you removed it from your phone? I imagine the security issue with the phone primarily has to do with photographing or otherwise transmitting private information, such as trade secrets, right?
Yea, I can't see any real issues with leaving your phone in a car with hot or cold conditions. As said above, it *may* affect battery life, but even that would be minimal, barely nothing.
If you're concerned, wrap it in a blanket or towel, this will stop it getting either extremely hot, or extremely cold.
I also think, that it could get too hot. I would put it in a cooler bag. (without cool akkus or something like that.. just in the isolated bag (you know what I mean ? Those for a few beer cans.... )
But this also shouldn't be necessary, if you place your phone sunsafe...
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, the phone ban is for the reason above. It shouldn't be an issue to take the battery though. I will also try an insulated cooler. I always use a sunshade as well. Even worse than worrying about my phone is the agony of being separated from it for such long hours at a time, lol.
Thanks again!

Ive had same overheating issue with Galaxy s2 on ICS 4.03 and with the same games played on HTC ONE X, i've got same overheating near camera n top screen.
I dont think this issue is phone specific
I guess some games and apps are are not optimized for ICS 4.03, coz same games didn't overheat my galaxy s2 on GB 2.3.6.
Its very annoying but hope there is a fix soon.
Had some slight overheating as well. What really got me was that the top was pretty hot when i touched it, but when i touched the bottom it was nice and cool lol

I will say that my phone does get a bit warmer than I am comfortable with while it charges. I even take it off sometimes because I feel it gets too warm once its fully charged.
I wont leave it plugged in overnight unless my room has the AC going, I can finish off the charge in the morning before work.
These batts are prone to catching fire! You know the recent problem with batteries in aircraft catching fire, etc? Same type just a whole lot bigger. Were at a point were we need new technology but its just not there yet. I see in the future smartphones having tiny fans in them like laptops lol.

Get something that can monitor battery temperature like Gsam monitor, you will see that the battery don't get over 40C when you charge it in a 25C room. Plus once the charging is done the the temp goes back to near room temp even if the phone is still connected to the charger., Li-ion battery don't get damaged unless you push them beyond 50C so nothing to worry about leaving it plugged in overnight.
I blame it on the MF3 update. Just turned the phone into a big boom!
