so i flashed the nocturnal dirty rom, and now everything is just FAST, but phone gets noticably hot whenever i play games and whatever...is this supposed to be normal?
When you're playing a game, your phone is working a lit harder to make the game run smoothly. So, of course, it gets hot.
So long as it does not get too hot, you're fine.
It gets noticeably hot after literally 30 seconds or so, even when charging. That never happens on stock ROM. What should I do??
Did you use an overclocked kernel? Check to see what frequency your CPU is running at. If it's running faster than stock(1512mhz) and you're playing games(which stress the CPU), it might be the cause of extra heat generation.

so I'm still liking the sensation have a few problems with it but 1 thing I'm unsure of is how hot can this thing get before I need to worry.
the widget that I use shows me the temperature of my phone
most of the time it's just under 100 or just over 100 degrees fahrenheit, however when I'm playing a game right asphalt 6 this sucker really starts to heat up .
to like 116 118 fahrenheit .
so I ask how hot is too hot at what temperature should I start to worry about overheating or damaging the phone somehow
Don't worry, when I'm playing angrybirds my phone gets at least as hot as yours. Try installing a home-cooked ROM from the development section, these guys know their things and will get you better sensation for sure.
Again, heat is normal. At least with my knowledge.
I know a lot of people don't let their phones get over 45*C, which is about how hot your phone is getting. I would say 1) that temp shouldn't be bad as long as it's not at that for long periods of time, and 2) as long as it isn't getting hotter than that, you should also be fine. Still, underclocking it with custom kernel wouldn't hurt. Our phones are powerful enough that underclocking it a bit shouldn't take a hit on performance, plus it should take away some of the heat.
My phone idles at 29*C and gets up to 45-50*C while playing games (Asphalt 6 is one of them). I left the phone charging in the window under direct sunlight and it hit 48-49*C while idle/screen off (didn't do that again!).
As with PCs, as long as it doesn't stay high for extended periods of time I'm sure you're fine. You can try custom ROMs/Kernels to see if one is better than the other.
OT but I remember my laptop getting to 90*C running an "unsupported" OS on it.
122*F is the damage point.

When playing a certain game, Card ace casino, my phone gets pretty hot, around 60-65 Celsius. My friend says her palm pre (not even an android device) also gets hot playing this game. Is 60-65 too hot (causing damage?) or is it okay? The phone feels pretty hot, but not so hot you can't touch it. The battery isn't as hot, so I don't think it's causing damage to the battery. I did just turn off force gpu rendering to see if it will help, as I heard the GPU causes many of the heat issues. At the moment, while plugged into the wall, it's idling at about 50 C
Is it actually a really graphics intensive game?? Hard to imagine a game like that would be. Maybe it's just horrendously written.
You can try downclocking your cpu/gpu to see if the game is still fluid to play. Or adb into it while playing to see what your loads are (or enable the overlay in the develop section).

That should be normal, thats the problem with phones with metal backs, metal absorbs heat. Underclocking should help a bit but theres nothing wrong with the phone. Happens to me all the time.
No, its not a graphics intensive game at all but I had force gpu rendering ticked in development so i was curious if that was it. Thanks for the reassurance, it just sounded like a high temp to me. When my last sensation overheated to 75 it caused a bright spot in the screen (T-Mobile warrantied it). Don't want that to happen again. It is a very poorly written app, there aren't even hdpi graphics for it but its the only way I can play with my friend. I still reach temps of 60 while playing angry birds though, so it must just be the way the sensation is built.

As time goes on I think all HTC phones overeat and unless they do something about it the overheating will just become more prominent. Turning down your brightness usually helps FYI

when playing games on my tab like modern combat 4 or wild blood,my tab gets really really hot.is that normal? may be the the kernel that comes with the aokp rom.anybody know a solution or is it how it is?
You're running your cpu probably at 100% oddd are that's your issue...are you overclocked? I tried running mine at 1.4 ghz and it got warm

Mine also gets hot in the left side (portrait), but it's normal. I've used iPod's and iPad's that gets even more warm.
warm
yes im oc'd at 1200. if i leave it at stock 1008 the games seem to lag a lot.never tried anything pass that.wondering also if its something to do with 4.1.2,because,when i try any 4.2.xx roms it seems to run a bit smoother and not as hot.,
mine is not overclocked, even when playing casual games like candy crush, my tab got very hot, and now it start to reboot randomly, even after factory reset, after a few days, it start to reboot randomly again.
Just got a brand new Nexus 5, the newer batches with the speaker hole a lil bigger, and on stock rom and kernel it seemed to run a wee bit hot doing nothing, or very minimal tasks like going through main settings...
Is this normal? I can understand any phone getting hotter with a heavy load like some video games, but not while doing almost nothing... My ancient old LG Motion 4G is stone cold, even with heavy tasking, and I know that's not a fair comparison, but I wonder...
Will try a custom Kernel, and see if some settings help...

its normal.
your old LG wasnt a 2.3ghz quad core either. depending on what the temps are around you, and what tasks you are doing with the phone, its normal for it to be anywhere from 30C-70C. even if you are playing cpu intensive games, it can be normal for your device to hit 80-85C. at 100C, itll automatically shut down to cool off.
Personally I think the n5 stays pretty cools, mine sits around 40c with normal usage and even with gaming ita around 60c.

If it's just a little hot, it's probably normal. Mine doesn't seem to get hot under normal usage, though I suppose even if it did I wouldn't notice because I have it in a TPU case all the time. How hot it get probably varies from chip to chip, as no two CPUs are 100% identical. If it starts throttling under normal usage, then I would be concerned.
Does anyone play Mortal Kombat X on their OPO?
If so, does your device get very hot playing the game?
For me, back on Kitkat, the phone got pretty warm after about 10-15 mins of playing, it wasn't too bad. Now I'm on lollipop, after 10 mins of play, the phone was very hot, especially around the camera. (think that is where the CPU/GPU chipset is located) It was so hot I closed the game and turned off the phone for a few mins to cool down. I was scared I was going to fry my phone!
Anyone else having similar experiences with this game? Other games don't really heat the phone up, but MK does have very decent graphics!

More intense apps/games will obviously increase heat output. Though nowadays mobile chipsets much like desktop or laptop chipsets have thermal trips and controls that will throttle the component that is overheating. So I wouldn't actually worry too much about the possibility of frying your phone. (Unless you disabled the thermal trip on a kernel level)
Yeah, a game like MKX does a lot of CPU and GPU work and when you add the display, the device gets warm. It's nothing to worry over.
Buy game console mate..
Confirmed with the same game and any other resource-expensive game. After 10/15 minutes the logcat gets spammed with temperature warnings (over 80 °C) and reboots to prevent damage.
I play the **** out of it, and yes after 20mins or so, it's pretty hot.

to reduce heating u must sacrifice ur little performance
flash a custom kernel
open kernel app n underclock ur cpu to 1.5ghz (dont go beyond it <1497mhz>) and keep ur gpu frequency to max @330 mhz (i would suggest keep it to 200mhz).
optionals
1. also do reduce cpu voltage atleast -30mV.
2. change the governer to silm or zzmove or any thing u like but not performance.
device get warm but doesnt goes to extreme heating .... little lags and glitches can be seen but its acceptable.
love playing in oneplus one )
happy gamming ...
Well I'm glad I'm not alone in experiencing this. I guess ill just have to play in short bursts. I also play Marvel Contest of Champions and that is another 3D fighter but my phone can play that for half an hour without much heat up, MKX has much better graphics so it gets my phone toasty very quickly.
My device is very hot too and killing battery. When i play mk x i disable 2 cores from snayps.. It doesn't effect performance.

Just install ak put cpu speed to 1.3ghz max undervolt to 140 max for pvs 7(it may reboot at first but it will get stable for gaming with no heat) use build.prop and init.d tweak to keep it your One fast.
I play MKX and godfire with this settings with no lag at all.

I moved to the CM12.1 by SultanXDA and on his rom, the phone is underclocked to 2ghz and I've noticed the phone doesn't get as hot while playing games now which is great. Another added bonus of using that ROM, its very good!
I hear ya bro
Yes the device does get warm to hot depending upon your environment.
I have noticed that while playing the game in public(non-ac), it does get pretty heated.. whereas when you do play in an ac room or a room with adequate cool air circulation using fans, it doesnt heat up so much.
Also, the internet(cellular/wifi) being on plays a huge impact on if the device heats up or not.
Moreover, I noticed that it heats up more for graphically demanding games like MKX,NOVA3 and Modern Combat 5 and not so much while playing less demanding games like Golf Star,Asphalt,etc even though all these games are typical heavy games.
Like suggested by many above, try underclocking(powersaver mode) and undervolting. It works for me to some extent.
Had the same issue of lot of heat and huge battery drain, but kept playing for hours and then I gave up on it, because I love OPO's battery life and I don't want to ruin it
Yes... very hot
