Playing games is usually the culprit, but my nexus sometimes gets hot even after web browsing... How hot does your Nexus 5 get??
I can't say mine gets hot... I use Faux Kernel with the recommended settings and also undervolt my phone. You can also fiddle (lower) with the max frequencies for the CPU and GPU to your liking. You'll often find that you have more than enough power to handle games and can reduce the frequencies quite a bit.

I dont want to mess around with Kernels and Root just yet.. Once the big ROM's start to pick up speed and become stable thats an option... Hoping Google brings out a software update to reduce the heat, and do something about the Camera, I honestly think if this had a Camera app which was optimised for the Camera it would be better than the S4 and the likes, when you put the S4 on a fully stock rom, the pictures are horrible, on the Nexus 5 they're just average... If it had the S4 Camera App who knows what it would be like!

Have some faith in the Devs. There are a couple of ROMs and Kernels that are perfectly stable. Thanks to the Faux kernel I have seen a ton of improvements over stock when it comes to performance and battery life.
I came from the HTC One and my nexus hasn't gotten near as hot as that would get.

...are you serious? I'd give you an answer, but it's way too damn easy to find out for yourself that I'm gonna let you do that. I believe in you!

Sure it is possible, but why? With JB and a nice kernel mine is so damn fast I just want to slow it down a bit and enjoy the battery.
I know how to do it.. It's really easy! I'm over clocking now...
My question is for those who have bump up there speed, have you notice a big difference in performance, battery drain, or your phone running a little warmer when using it quite a bit..
Those of us who have a galaxy Nexus know that battery life sucks! And performance can be questionable at times. I was just looking for opinions on the pros and cons of over clocking from people who have been running it longer than me...

It strikes me as a bad idea. My Samsung Galaxy Nexus cdma phone gets plenty hot and sucks plenty of juice without overclocking, even though I keep LTE turned off. It's also a very snappy (and stable) performer with stock 4.04.
Every chip is different, so you're going to find that your experiences might not necessarily be like ours. Some folks have OCed to 1.8ghz for the hell of it, whereas I could pull off no where near that with mine. That being said, I've stopped overclocking altogether as, especially with jellybean, my phone is already pretty damn fast.
I appreciate all your input. I'll probably set it back to interactive and back to a cap of 1200.. I've just noticed now that I have my JB all set up. I've found it to be a little chunky at times. Going into Google now, and some times using the voice input..
I'm surrounded by ios lovers and I'm a huge Android guy and I really want to show them up with the performance of JB, so I don't have to hear them ***** about how chunky android can be..
I'm sure it all has to do with the JB build I I've loaded..
Again thank you for your time..

Yes I know this should be in apps and themes but everyone deserves to see this, especially us Tbolt guys.
This has been proven to be a placebo affect. I have tested it for almost 3 days now and it doesn't really help at all. Also someone mentioned in that forum it doesn't work properly with snapdragon processors because the rndg is different than others. If it does help at all I think it would help more for the lag that comes from not rebooting for a long period of time.

I have been using it with unsense and it hasn't really improved anything. No difference in performance without it either. Like I said it's a placebo caused by the fact that the tweak actually wakes your processor repeatedly which is why your phone seems to react better. You can use it if you like but it is really just a battery drainer. You can get the same performance increase by setting your governor on performance.

I ran it on nu sense and it drained my battery and noticed no improvement in speed. You see an increase because you want to see an increase. Its like throttle body spacers people puts on their cars. Suppose to improve performance and increase fuel mileage. They do no such thing but make a nice paper weight. People who had them swear they could feel an increase. One guy put his truck on a dyno and tested with it on and with it off. His results was with it on he lost a few hp. This is why butt dynos are so inaccurate because we make our selves believe we can see and feel a difference. When in fact there isn't.

Like I mentioned in my earlier post. It cause a wake lock on the processor making it wake repeatedly which is the likely reason that anyone notices anything. It in no way shape or form affects entropy which was the original intent of the app. Google has also stated that the very issue this is supposed to fix was actually fixed with the release of ICS. Try it on a gb rom and see if it actually works. Also, after you run it for a few days disable it and see if there is a decrease in performance. I've ran it for about three days and there is no difference without it running.

For me, the biggest negative is that the phone is not fast enough comparing to S3. Although, it might be touch wiz problem than hardware, because Nexus 10 feels much fluid and smooth.
Basically, I did expect a better performance.

Is a fault from Samsung that an external app (Chrome) uses a lot of RAM? NO.

Maybe because Chrome doesn't use a fixed MB, it uses a % of RAM. More ram more %.

it has a lot of features and a 1080p screen (yes the 1080 has more than twice the pixels of 720 that it needs to use memory for the GPU), it needs to use up some extra ram to run smoothly. imagine how slow it would be if it used 550mb and kept swapping it out
furthermore ive got a droid 3 with 512mb of ram... even with a custom rom with zero bloat this thing had like 50-100mb left to run apps... imagine how disappointed i am with it -_-

this isnt a legit complaint because its the fastest phone in the world. when i build a computer i expect some of the parts to sometimes run warm. in fact, my 7970 runs around 60 celsius under full load. the latest greatest technology is expected to get a little warm lol...
besides who ISNT going to use this thing as a hand warmer during the winter? lol
I too experience phone restarts when entering the camera app. Battery drains on average 10% every hour ( or more ) on medium use. Reached 50C degrees battery temp when browsing app, it got very uncomfortable to hold in the hand.

Yeap, I disabled all of them.
Still, when routinely switching between camera -> gallery -> email -> back to camera the transition between windows is very slow. And it's not because of animation, but probably because the phone needs to restore the state of a next app and it takes ages.
The phone is ok, but I expected more from 2013's hardware.
My phone never restarted itself, camera has crashed 2 times in 3 weeks, I don't have a problem with overheating, even if I use it all day (batterry draining is normal for a quadcore with 1080 screen... it lasts high use about 5-6 hours )

I used antutu on N4 with PA and got around 26,xxx. N5 with stock I get 22,xxx..
Internet speeds via speedtest.net app
N4 H+ 20-24mbps
N4 LTE 24-30mbps
N5 H+ 15-18mbps
N5 LTE 18-22mbps
To the eye, moving around menus the N5 seems same speed.. although it does boot faster.
I also get more bars on the N5 on H+ and LTE! So I would think it would get better speeds.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
The Nexus 5 is much, much faster than the Nexus 4. PA ROM is probably causing some dirty results in the benchmark, because it most certainly isn't the correct result. Hell, I just ran the benchmark on my N5 and got nearly 24,000 with other apps running. There shouldn't be such a dramatic range in numbers. It might also be Antutu, which is probably why no tech reviews use it.
Also, at least for LTE speed, I've seen over 45mbit/s download on my N5 already. It's capable of doing just great on LTE. Keep in mind that these speeds can vary DRAMATICALLY from one moment to the next.
Would it be safe to overclock to 2.8GHz with the CPU Governor as "intelliactive" and leave it there for normal use?

Probably.

The real question is why not? LOL. Honestly though I just like finding new things to do with my phone and coming from a locked Galaxy S4 I have to say I'm enjoying the amount of things I can do with this device that I couldn't on the S4. The extra 600MHz was because I was hoping it would drop any chances of lag with my favorite apps & Xposed which always seems to cause a delay or two for me. On the other hand I like squeezing what I can out of it. Same with my Desktop too, get maximum stable over clock and stick with it. ;D. If there's some downsides such as life shortage feel free to mention it though because I'd rather know early on than when it's too late. Sorta the point of this thread

Well with normal use it gets like 40-55 C (CPU) and during an Antutu benchmark just at the beginning it hit 75C sooo not very happy with that.... especially considering that's in the highs for a lot of desktop processors, can't even imagine how bad that must be for a phone processor LOL. It was @2.803 MHz with voltage of "1130" & ondemand governor. Not so sure as to what "1130" is based on though as I'm new to mobile over clocking, guess I'll figure it out tomorrow!
Edit: Forgot to include that just a few minutes ago I flashed a new kernel due to some random lag, old one never hit above 50 even on tests (with intelliactive). Also using ondemand/interactive now. Gonna re check the differences on those two governors tomorrow and decide which one I wanna go with! : D
