My OPO is getting hot when using hangouts video chat and navigation. I could understand if I was playing a resource intensive game but video chat and navigation. Any one else notice this?
no
define hot
factory reset without recovering app/data
try different rom/kernel
etc

I never use video chat so I don't know. But its getting hot when I playing clash of clan, it's not even graphically game.
I use this cpu temperature app to monitor the temp when playing games. My phone tends to idle at low 30s celsius and ramps up quickly into the 60s under load. I've hit peaks of 73 celsius while playing plants vs zombies 2 and the app can notify you when it gets above 70. I think the sandstone back is keeping the heat insulated unlike other metal/plastic phones.

I've played countless games and i play clash of clans a lot. Never had the phone get hot yet, It's surprisingly good with heat compared to my nexus 4.

Not even, I have my phone overclocked to 2,880 megahertz and this phone handles heat far better than my old Nexus 5 and G3.
Let my follow up my opening post with this is my 2nd OPO sold the first one and I never remember it getting hot. So on this phone I thought it was a little strange. I will try the CPU temperature app.
Yes, I use hangouts video chat on a daily basis and tonight when I was done I noticed my phone was very hot.
People define "hot" differently, so I installed CPU temperature app to see how hot. I got 122 F playing clash of clan. I guess it's OK.
yes

Sorry to bump an old thread. But I'm definitely getting this.
I'd been using my OPO for Hangouts video chat over H/H+ network, with a fairly strong signal. I noticed afterwards that around the camera area it was just about bearable to touch.
Just recently when using hangouts for video chat, it will get to a certain point and turn off the phone. I presume this is a safety shutdown because of heat. It's happened three or four times over the past week.
Think I'm going to have to take the plunge and either factory reset ... OR try a different ROM. (Currently on Stock).
Hangouts running hot
I got my OPO 3 days back. I had voice-only hangout session of around 30 mins yesterday night, and I can confirm that phone was really hot around top half. So hot that I was not able to place it on my ears - had to keep it slightly away while talking.
Performance settings on my phone are: Governor - Interactive, Scheduler - ROW. Should I change it to Powersave or Conservative?

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

Does your Nexus 5 heat up? If so, how hot does it get and what do you do on your phone to make it hot?

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......
mine is so hot i cant stop staring at it

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.
I generally get great battery life using regular apps throughout the day. But many games seems to eat up battery life quicker than I would have thought. That coupled with how hot my phone gets, I'm a little worried there may be an issue with my phone.
The two games where my phone feels like it is burning up are Plants vs Zombies 2 and Anomaly 2. After playing a session, a quick look at the battery graph shows an extremely steep drop.
Is this normal? Maybe it is, but it doesn't feel or seem right.

its normal. cpu and gpu intensive games will warm up your device to a toasty level. but that why they make the phone have a thermal throttle. when it hits a certain temp, you phone will automatically reduce the cpu speed to cool down a little. but the heat from gpu/cpu intensive games is more than normal, its expected. btw, the safety shutdown temp for the n5 is 100C, which youll never reach because of the thermal throttle, only if you have root and disable thermal throttle, then it could hit the safety shutdown temp
I know about the problem with Plants vs Zombies 2, it eats through battery like crazy. I don't think that there is an issue with your phone, because your battery doesn't drop like that at any other intensive game, does it?

I've noticed the exact same thing with PvZ 2. It's addictive as all hell, but chews through my battery.
I really wish they would release it on the Amazon Appstore so I could put it on my Kindle Fire. Unfortunately, because of the Google Play integration you can't even sideload it to a Kindle, you just get a black screen when you try to launch it.

I don't play any intensive games actually and I wouldn't even catagorize PvZ2 as intensive. Maybe it is just suboptimally coded apps. Anomaly2 isn't even really that intensive. Not like a FPS/3D game anyway.

PvZ2 is terrible. Get Franco kernel + his updater app. Set the per app mode of PvZ @ 652MHz. Still runs fine. The only difference you will notice is when the last big wave hits, there can be a little slow down, but it goes away quickly. With all 4 cores running at 652MHz, there is virtually no heat. Will get you 1+ hour more game time. I'm experimenting with underclocking the GPU for it as well. I don't want to underclock the phone when I'm just using apps, but these games are using much more power than they need to be using. 4x, at least.
I think it's poor coding, as @flintdragon suggested.
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
So I have an LG G4 running Octos-M with Xposed and a handful of modules. Recently my phone has been getting very hot doing mundane tasks. For example, while streaming YouTube videos at 480p it will sometimes, not all the time for some reason but usually, slowly get hotter and hotter. I don't know where it would cap out because I've never let it get past 53C, and usually stop using it at about 46.
It does it in Snapchat basically all the time and in games like Marvel Puzzle Quest a little less than half the time. It can't be good for the phone and it slows way down when it gets too hot.
Doing some looking into it I believe it is a GPU issue. When watching videos the GPU usage spikes to 70-100%. The high usage seems to cause the heat. The CPU usage rarely steps above 40-50% but I don't know of it's related or not. The GPU is just a hunch.
Does anyone have any suggestions? It's getting to the point where the phone is unusable due to heat so I'd like to resolve, or at least mitigate, the issue.

Use the KA mod(Kernel Auditor) that is built into the Tentacles app in your app drawer, if you don't see the Tentacles app in app drawer then just go to system settings>about phone>Build date and tap the build date once and you'll have the Tentacles app. Use KA to lower the CPU/GPU settings to reduce the power consumption. If your OctOS doesn't come prepackaged with the Kraken kernel built in then consider configuring some KA settings on the stock OctOS kernel then try flashing the Kraken kernel if one exists for your device, then configure KA settings with that kernel and compare results, use the kernel and settings that give you the best results.
