Just received my One S yesterday and after about 10 Mins of use it felt a little hot on the backside. And this is without any type case on it, so I then unlocked bootloader and rooted and lowered the CPU Speed but it still feels kinda hot after very little use. Has anybody else felt this........
its normal.
i have it too.

How hot you are talking about? Did you play any heavy game or something?
You can install some battery app to see what the temperature it goes so people could compare yours with theirs.

The only point at which it got a bit too hot for my comfort was sitting in my lap with GPS and google navigation running for about 20 minutes screen at full brightness. Picked it up and was a tad bit toasty.
Other than that, gaming, video streaming etc no heat issues outside what i consider normal for this type of device.
I had some weird heat issues the first couple of days when I got my phone, then I started using an app killer, didn't help... so I stopped using it, and the heat isn't as bad as it was before. It's due to heavy cpu/gpu usage from hd games or just installed apps that don't have any cache data, or high visual load ones in general.

No Gaming just browsing and normal things like texting and google +.
Dont get me wrong it runs fine with no reboots or freezing, just felt a bit weird when it got hot posting to google+ other than that it runs like a champ
The temperature in my city is around 40°C.. But real-feel is around 42°C...Summer has just started and my phone is getting hotter than usual... However, the phone is not so hot in idle mode... Its around 31-33°C.. However, after playing few games or browsing for around 20-25 mins, my nexus s is getting hotter and hotter.. I can feel it in my hands... But still, the battery temp is showing 36-37°C only... I've never even seen 38°C on my phone... But still, I can feel the touchscreen is getting very very hot...
After opening the back cover, I began examining myself.. I noted:
The battery is not that hot
The sim area is very hot (I even started my phone without the SIM card, but same result)
The area beneath the camera and flash is also too hot..
The touchscreen itself is getting v.v hottttt.... I cannot play touch games anymore... However, the lower part of the touchscreen is absolutely normal...
When charging, the temperature doesn't goes more than 35°C... However, I can feel the back side is warmer...
2months ago, when the temp was around 30-32°C, I've never had this problem Everything was fine and running perfectly... Still now, everything runs smoothly without lags
I've never heard that touchscreen is hott... I've had many phones and my city's temp remains mild mostly... So, what could be the problem?
I am using:
Carbon unofficial
Marmite 8.5cm_bigmen
No over/under clocking
Vooodoo sound with +5db (Hardware highest)
Ondemand with cfq
Battery timings: 1.5day with normal use (4-5hrs of screen time)
1day with heavy use (6-7hrs of screen time)
Should I revert back to stock ROM?
Is there any IC problem?
Battery problem?
Processor problem?
Or is it normal for the phone to get hot in hot temperatures (42°C)???
Should I see a doctor?

Its normal dude. If you want to keep it cooler than don't keep the brightness too high.
One thing that can REALLY heat up my phone is playing games at 100% brightness on a hot day so try to avoid that.

No dude the same areas as you describe are the ones that can get really hot on my phone.
My i9023 gets really hot if i play games at max brightness, so now I avoid playing games.
And yes, it also gets hot in the processor area, not the battery.

Now, my phone is getting very hot while playing Asphalt 6 or even Fruit Ninja... Only the processor side (Top portion of touchscreen and its back portion) is getting hot... Battery is definitely cool (Not more than 38degree)...
What could be the problem? My processor has gone mad or what? I've even tried undervolting as well as processing speed to 800Mhz max... But overheating remains
My phone gets hot only when I'm on full brightness and a game I usually put it at half brightness and it never happens even when playing mc4

This is absolutely true. I have Nexus S since 4 months... There was no problem at all then.. everything normal and running fine and never overheated at all no matter what i play...
This overheating problem started few days back when I tested overclocking and overvolting NS
Seem's this is the problem..
I think I have roasted the processor and it will always remain like that.. I will have to sell it soon now

is it still over heating on half brightness?
It is... I am on 3% brightness...
Should I give a try to a new OEM battery?
Will it resolve the overheat issue?
Why is the processor heating up too quickly? Has I finished its life by overcloking it? Or it is a battery issue?

I went to the local market for some inspection of my phone. The person said that your phone is not giving maximum current and the charging ic is getting very hot and has to be changed... How is this possible? I've never had any problem with my phone like this... 100% charging was always OK for me

My N5 comes nowhere near as hot as my N4, only slightly warm. And that is while playing Ingress and streaming music at the same time, something that would make my N4 choke

Mine's so f'n hot I can't stand it :good:
Warm across the top half and it seems I only need to have the screen active to cause it.
As I've said elsewhere, web browsing, email reading....nothing that should be stressful makes that top half of my phone notably warm (front and back)
Edit:
Just played Carmagedon, top half isn't getting any hotter but there's surely no way that web browsing should cause the same heat levels that a game does......

when i ran benchmark software(separate cpu and gpu apps), I only noticed the top half getting slightly warm. only on the back side
I noticed this afternoon that my phone was getting really hot in my pants. I pulled it out to check and it appears that the phone had shut off. I had to turn it back on, apparently something wonky happened.
Don't judge me....
I was playing Tiny Death Star for 2.5 hours (burnt %40 of my battery). I am extremely happy with that. I'm assuming I could easily get to 5hours screen on time. I did notice that the top half was getting warm (read:not hot). I came from using a HTC One X and it is definitely running a lot cooler than that phone.
Judging by the massive heat sink I have on my quad core processor in my computer (it weighs 500g), I think the phone is doing alright only get warm and not melting through your fingers.
Top portion heats a lot in my nexus 5. It all started after using fault 3.5 mm jack.
My n5 gets warm, but no where near as burning hot as my n4 did. But a lot of that has to do with plastic/glass. I've actually read that the snapdragon 800 on average runs hotter then the snapdragon of the n4. It's all about the materials.

Nexus 5 Heating
I have been using ma new N5 for the last one month and I realized that the device is getting heated up while browsing on 3G network and also playing HD games too.
Following are the few solution I am preferring:
1. Avoid stressing too much the Nexus 5 to prevent overheating injuries. Take a break sometimes.
2. Remove any casing whenever you are playing HD games(High Graphical) to let heat flows out.
3. It is recommended not play games while the phone is being charged unless your room is very cool.
Phones are getting silly thin and super power full = heat

Avoid using the Chrome browser as it tends to make the CPU run at high frequency and heat up the phone. Its a known issue for users but Google has done it deliberately to make the chrome run smooth.
Gets hot while playing certain games
i have tried a lot of games(asphalt 8, badland, dead trigger 2 etc) my phone generally has no major heating issues but two games plants vs zombies 2 and injustice really heats up the back of the nexus 5 to the point of unbearable. Also PvZ 2 drains the battery really quickly. Is anyone of you having the same issues? though anything else like videos or webbrowsing does not heat up the phone just makes it warm but such few games are causing lot of problems.
I can easily reach 100 F (or higher) just using dolphin browser. I haven't owned that many android phones, but that seems a little excessive. I would understand that temperature for a game, but not just for some web browsing...
It gets warm, but not hot like my Note 2 did.
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.
Well, I guess it's pretty normal if a phone gets hot while playing hardcore games.
But is it supposed to get this hot while playing games? Sometimes, just by playing Plants Vs. Zombies 2, the phone gets really hot (hotter on the camera part of the phone) that makes it unplayable due to the hotness that makes the camera part untouchable (or I'll get hurt)
I'm asking if this is normal, and if it happens to you guys.

Not to be rude but does it really get that hot that you feel like you'll get hurt? I've played games before and the phone has gotten warm like all other phones I've ever owned but hot enough to "hurt me" I haven't noticed.
What I can say is that it's possible that the software (either CM11s ROM or the game you're playing) isn't fully optimized to run on the OPO so it may have the processor working extra hard when it shouldn't have to.
Remember we're basically beta testing this lovely gem so a lot of bugs and such are to be expected since the phone isn't officially open to the public.

Well, first of all, it does not happen with just Plants Vs Zombies 2, I gave that game as an example because I usually play more-demanding games (not saying that pvz2 is not a demanding game, actually, i have no idea)
And answering your question, yes, it does get hot enough to hurt me, since the camera part is where it really gets hot, and there is a metal/plastic (yes i can't distinguish, i suck) piece on the camera that when it gets hot, is really untouchable, reaching the point where it hurts by touching it.
Oh, thanks for your reply
I don't have it but then again I can't really talk since I'm not on stock ROM/Kernel. I'm using a custom rom/kernel which uses different algorithms to thermal throttling which keeps the phone nice and cold or not as warm.
Depends on where you are too, if you're playing it outside and its really warm (it is Summer) then yeah.

Yeah, my OPO gets this hot as well when I'm playing XCOM--the only "demanding" game I have on it at the moment. When I play other games, or during other normal usage it stays relatively cool. It gets a bit warm when charging, but that's expected from this charger.
I only just got it yesterday morning, so have only had limited testing time, but I'm getting the same thing with the front and back of the phone getting very hot, and the metal piece on the camera getting painfully hot (I have to watch how I hold it so I don't accidently touch it). I wasplaying XCOM for about an hour (the length of my train ride home) and it was hot pretty much from the start. After that hour the game finally crashed... I started it back up and within 5 min it crashed again. Guess that means it's getting throttled?
I'll be testing it again on my ride home later.

Yep, it does get very hot while playing, mainly around the camera area, doesnt really bother me, I guess that with a case you wouldnt even feel it.
What do you expect? This device, like any computing device, when put under CPU load is going to generate heat, it's computing 101 guys. This is why PC's have cooling fans.

Yeah, but when we decide to buy a high-end phone, with a really good GPU and CPU, we expect some kind of use to it. Since, in my opinion, having a good GPU, means that we can play high demanding games, and watch some cool high quality movies. I personally want this phone mainly to play those kind of games, that was actually the purpose of buying this phone: knowing that i can play any kind of game i throw at it.
So yeah, I agree that like any computing device, it's normal to get hot. But is it supposed to get so hot, even hurting the holder just because he's playing Plants Vs Zombies 2 for 10 minutes? This issue kinda beats the purpose of having a great GPU. It has a great GPU yeah, but what's the purpose of having it if it overheats the phone?

You bring up a lot of good points. Its just the way the phone's thermal driver operates. Alternatively, you can switch to a kernel that operates their thermal driver differently.
What is a thermal driver?
The generic thermal sysfs provides a set of interfaces for thermal zone devices (sensors) and thermal cooling devices (fan, processor...) to register with the thermal management solution and to be a part of it.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/thermal/sysfs-api.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically its responsible for keeping your device nice and cool. Third party kernels such as: Franco, AK kernel, furnace and various custom ROM kernels have a modified thermal driver which can help with your phone overheating. For instance, using Franco Kernel he has his own thermal driver and also removes Qualcomm's mpdecision with his own hotplugging algorithm (powering cores 3/4 on or off depending on the load). You can also downclock your phone using these kernels (as well on stock) to lower the performance of your phone so that it does not heat up but also meet a balance of your phone not lagging with the lower clock.
Other thermal drivers include: Faux's Intellithermal and so forth.

Fair enough, but your high end CPU and GPU are performing as they should be, and because there is no physical cooling system on your phone it's going to get hot. Just because it's a high end device it doesn't mean it shouldn't get hot. The fact that it has such high spec components actually suggests that it'd heat up more than your average phone. By your logic, a high end gaming PC shouldn't heat up, but we know that isn't the case.

Adding to your point... a high end gaming laptop ... yeah a highend gaming PC heats up but its not as obvious, at least not for some people unless they're on air cooling and can hear the fans. A highend gaming laptop or any multimedia laptop playing games would heat up whatever surface its laying on as well as blowing out hot air.
My point still stands as stated before if OP doesn't want his phone to get "super" hot during games, flash a custom kernel, buy FKU and set up a per-app-mode, I can play PvZ 2 and can downclock it down to 1.5-1.7 (or even lower) without any lag. Just play around with it to get to that sweet spot where you find a balance between performance and battery as well as having your phone not heat up as much as stock.

Thanks for your reply and for presenting me some solutions, but I forgot to mention that I flashed Paranoid Android already, and from my knowledge, I think I read that it has Franco's Kernel already, so there's no need to flash it, i suppose (correct me if wrong)?
And even flashing that custom ROM, the problem still persists. So, I guess the only solution is to downclock the phone while playing those games.

I'm not too familiar with that, I know Franco is on PA's team but their kernel probably isn't 100% Franco Kernel. I could be wrong on this, I am not fully familiar with the situation but you might as well just flash Franco Kernel over it just so you're safe. If you have his FKU app then you can set Per-App-Mode as I mentioned previously.
Custom ROM isn't going to help your phone be "cooler" in temperature. Its on the kernel side of things. You'll need to downclock the phone accordingly on CPU frequency and GPU frequency. I was able to play 1.2-1.7GHz with 330 MHz on GPU. Don't take what I post for granted though, you'll need to sit down and try it out yourself to get the balance between temperature and performance.
At the end of the day, you'll also squeeze out more battery life playing the game too so thats always nice. Lowered temperatures and additional battery life? :victory:

Yes, mine gets too damn hot as well, to the point of burning my fingers, and I was not gaming, just browsing the internet while charging...
It even smells like "hot laptop" and even in the morning, after being charging and off all night, it was still hot...
Also, on my side pocket, I could feel it's heat on my leg while driving...

It's probably not a great idea to leave your phone on charge all night. You can't overcharge it, but the more time the battery spends at the peak voltage (4.2v) the faster it will degrade. Just a tip.

Have to check ao much time it will take to reach 100% and then switch it off via timer or such, but I never had this problem with other phones.
Also the OPO charger it's rated at 5V-2.1A and not even my tablets had such chargers...
The highest one I've it's the Nexus 7 one, that's rated at 5.2V-1.5A.
i recently getting extrene heat on my OnePlus to the point that i have to stop n reboot the phone for it to cool down. I have been playing brave frontier since the 1st firmware. The phone runs fine smooth. N suddenly it gets really hot in just 15min play of the game.
I have to stop n reboot the phone. Otherwise it still hot even though i quit the game without reboot. So reboot is a must.
The same thing happened to me today when I downloaded XCOM Enemy Within. I had the phone on "performance" mode. Its pretty much just stock everything, except I unlocked the bootloader, root, etc. I'm going to try and play in on "power save" mode tomorrow. (its late as hell, I should be asleep, I work in 5 hours.) anyway, if that doesn't work, then I will try installing the Franco kernel.
Same problem!
First I really love my OBO, actually I think I'm in love withit. Ohh my god - I'm in love!
But I have the same problem - the fix no. 1 for me was Clean Master and Battery Doctor. I start the cleaning process, and stop all other applications before I start Simcity.
Ohh **** did I just said Simcity! Okay wtf, yes i'm 31 years old, I play Simcity and I'm proud of it...
Fix no.2: have your phone in the hands so it can breath, and not on the couch / bed so the hot air can't escape
I don't know anything about flash, kennel, root and what you young beautiful people call it.
Last but not least, I thank God and myself everyday for switching from iPhone to the best phone ever - The amazing OnePlus One.
Hope the 2 fix can help some.
