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.

I mean just web browsing it is burning my hand. It only is the top half.

Any apps running in the background besides using the browser? Have you rebooted your device?

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.

It only gets hot when I use Japan too. Never on wifi. (Well it does a little playing games) I think I will call customer support tomorrow.

And it is not getting hot where the battery is.

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?
its min 1500 Max 1500 and notice battery dies fast. what's default. what should min be.

You are at default. I run 918 - 384 and get crazy battery life
really. i thought default was 1200 and 200. which is your Max which min. isn't your phone slow like that?

I don't see why you'd want to run with a min higher than 192MHz. Is there a reason?

Only reason is that's the default for the script I'm running. Plus phone does go into deep sleep anyways when idle/screen off
so you under clock it what's a script?

sounds good. I'm confused how to install it though. script is something that can be turned off or its built in? is there a link to how to install Kernal. i dont have to wipe the phone do i. can i save my old one. its dag kernal. i want the one you got. hard use phone to do all this

Yea just download the kernel and script. Go into cwm and clear cache but not the factory reset one the one below it. Then go to advanced and clear dalvik.
Now you install kernel zip from sd card just like a rom. Then do the same thing for the script

Min 1500 is why your battery's draining so fast. With that, you're constantly keeping your phone clocked that high. I have it set to 192 min, 1500 max. Also, make sure to either set it to On Demand or Conservative if you're trying to save life.

Yea i was at over 10 hrs off charger and had 52% left with heavy usage. Went to bed and fell asleep with Google Music streaming all night and phone still was at 10%
I was wondering if anyone had any idea how fast you can actually o/c this phone without damaging the processors

Specific to each phone man nobody can say some can get 1.8 some can't go past 1.5 mind you that's just keeping the phone running past those points most bomb and phone boot loops and stuff
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
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
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
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

So since yesterday every time I use my phone or even charge it my phone gets extremely hot! The screen especially and the back where the camera lies. I charged my phone for 6 hours there with no use and it has only went up a 4-5%. Ive not installed or downloaded anything recently that could cause this issue. I was wondering if anyone could help or have had such a problem and know what there is to do? I'm running the latest viper with elemental X 8.1 stock elemental settings been on both for at least a month or 2.

Ruu and do a clean flash. As a beta tester for Viper I've been running it since release and never had any issues. Other than we've reported which have been fixed.

Try changing kernel, letting phone sit off for some time, or if all else fails do a clean install. Something i do when any of my phones overheat but wouldnt recommend for everyone, is i zip it up in a zip-lock bag and put it in the frig for about 2-5 minutes. But like i said works just fine for me everytime but dont recommend it
I don't recommend putting hot electronics in the fridge or freezer due to condensation.

You can place it on a cloth wrapped ice pack for a few minutes, should cool it down very quickly.

how to check if both cores are working!?
mostly when i open TRICKSTER MOD it shows core 1 as offline and usually its core 0 that's fluctuating with min or max frequency!?

Actually Venom Tweaks includes an option for status bar or notification drawer that displays current CPU usage. Theoretically you could run some apps, pull down status bar and check if both cores are in use. Having one core activated running full throttle would easily turn your phone into a hand warmer

I knew that but when you provide someone with information that you do not recommend a user doing, you should explain why so they understand the risk associated. Especially in a case where their phone could be damaged beyond any chance of repair. Don't you agree?

Correct. But putting the phone under some form of stress such as running games or watching YouTube videos ramps up CPU frequencies as well as initiating the additional core.
According to comments in development thread, OP has solved over heating issue with an RUU.
Nice!

Good to know the issue is solved
cause even i had some issues with heating.. even for a small games my cpu tem is 50-60 and battery around 40!
It isn't unusual for this device to reach those temperatures during battery/CPU intensive apps or games. I've had it happen many times, games like Scramble With Friends (and other With Friends games) do it quite badly, as well as Maps, YouTube, and several others.

Hi guys, so I recently bought a nexus 5 I just got it like 5 days ago. My problem is that I have some lag problems. My phone lags when I play games like Dead trigger 2. I also have this game called Kritika, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's from Gamevil, and it lags pretty bad. So why is this? It's a Nexus 5, I shouldn't have problems with the Snapdragon 800 processor. I also seem to have a little stutter in fruit ninja. Is it just me or do I have a defective device. Or is there nothing wrong with it? Can someone please tell me whether I should send it back or not? Thank you.
Is it on stock? If no reflash stock then factory reset the device. Then load nothing else but the game. If it lags it hardware.

i have dead trigger 2, theres no lag. then again, i use a custom kernel for performance, and i disable thermal throttle.
Must be why then, did it lag before your custom kernel?

I would bet on thermal throttling like everyone else is saying. I noticed that although my Nexus 4 got absurdly hot with a raised thermal throttle, games ran better. That phone was a launch device and is used by my dad every day now without any lasting effects. I've done the same with my Nexus 5 with similar effect, although it doesn't seem to get as hot as my old phone. I would say that it's safe to do, and should get rid of the lag

Does your phone heat up while its lagging? If so, it would be because of thermal throttling like the other have mentioned (reducing CPU frequency so the phone can cool down)
You can flash a custom kernel and either remove thermal throttling or increase the amount of temperature of thermal throttling (so it will reduce CPU only at higher temperatures).

Yeah it does heat up while it's lagging, but the problem is that it doesn't take time to lag, it just starts lagging when I start the game up, not over time, so I was wondering if it was a hardware problem.
