I had a N9. It died catastrophically and I suspect due to overheating. Does the Shield Tablet have a heating problem like the N9 does or does the passive cooling keep it under control? I want to try to avoid this problem with whatever I end up replacing the N9 with.

I haven't seen that issue yet even when gaming for 2-3 hours on end.
I should note that when I killed my N9 I was running Antutu. I completed one run and it died on the second. I had done a bit of gaming on it without issue, but benchmarks can push the hardware to the limits, including thermal design limits.
Anecdotal evidence suggests the shield is cooled more efficiently than the N9. Though it is possible the Denver cores just generate more heat, too. Noons has reported a heatstroke on the shield so far though.

So I was looking at the Optimus G and read that it may have a tendency to overheat.
I recalled a thread about the Xperia T talking about thermal throttling as well.
It seems like if I pick a random newer phone and search for overheating I can find at least a few scattered problems with it. Is overheating becoming a more common problem in phones or is it individual units that are the issue?
If it's an unavoidable issue I will just deal with it or of it's an issue that varies phone to phone, I'll just return a faulty device..
I really don't want my device running hot if it can be avoided though. I understand these small enclosed environments make head almost unavoidable but, I would really like to avoid heating problems if possible.
My Optimus 2x heats up to 45C during heavy use during charging. Not a great issue

Just wanna ask around to check if I'm the only one who feels my phone is a tad bit too hot?
Usually when not charging , the batt temps are around 34-38°C, with the CPU in the range of 38-45°C
When charging the batt goes up to 38°C - 44.7°C or even overheating in the 45-50°C range( ok this would be my fault in using heavier apps)
And the CPU would stay in the range of 40°C - 55°C even without use sometimes
Those temperatures aren't out of the ordinary for this device, that's pretty normal actually. I've had my battery temperature go between 50-55°C fairly regularly, and even as high as 66°C without the phone shutting down (I did cool it down very quickly upon seeing how hot it was though).

Thanks timmaaa, for a moment I thought I was the only one.
I use Battery Mix to record my temperature vs. Battery % over time (use the JB feature to disable its persistent notification): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.smapho.battery_mix&hl=en
One thing I've noticed is that when it hits 40C+, the space below the camera becomes extraordinarily hot! This happens at least once during a work day, especially happens when I don't touch the device.
When this happens, the drain rate just plummets (when I refer to the battery level slope vs. the phone temperature). However, a reboot fixes the heat (and as a result, the drain rate) over a lengthy amount of time.
I've heard of this, but haven't gotten around to trying it successfully:

That shouldn't happen while you're not using the phone. Have you used an app like BetterBatteryStats to identify what's draining your battery?

well this was previously answered by timmaa i had a similar concern cause none of my earlier phone actually felt that warm...
but when i got a green signal that these are normal temperatures, i tried gaming for almost an hour turns out the phone was hot indeed the battery was around 50+ but still the phone dint shut down itself or showed any inconsistency in its functions!
moral of the story.. it happens with everyone.. my friend has a endeavor it also suffers from heating... its so normal that if u search it in google that "why does ht one x get..... "it automatically completes it in with " get hot"(also for the new One).
if you want to cool it down get SET CPU and create a profile in which select battery temperature/cpu temperature at a certain temperature you don't want your phone to exceed and then set the cpu to a lower speed typically till 1026 or 1134...
but again if u feel its necessary cause doing so will obliviously slow down the device.:angel:

Of course its normal. All computers generate heat as power is discharged. Manufacturers are also packing more and more computing power into these small devices, and in general that means more heat (although there are other variables). And every smartphone is designed to deal with the heat differently, so those might be some reasons why your previous phones did not feel as warm.

true that!!
even i was actually worried before hearing about it being normal from u and timma as well!
its probably htc one x is build that way.
BTW sorry a little off topic since this issue has already been resolved has anyone heard a little rattling sound near the camera region only when the phone is sharked up and down (from screen to back)
this also is a build issue!

Totally normal. Just a moving part in the camera module. Likely related to autofocus as you can sometimes hear a sound when focusing the image.

why isnt the company doing something about the overheating issue? is there any solution for this? Just bought my one plus one and this overheating issue is such a let down.
From what I can see the reason the charger "overheats" is because of the speed in which it charges the phone. A way to fix this is to root the phone and install an app that can slow down the amount of power the phone takes in during charging. Ofcourse this means longer charging times but it will help with the heat issue.
With regards to the phone, unlock the developer options and underclock the phone. Obvious advantage of longer battery life and less heat but with the trade off of performance. I would reccomend only underclocking it a little but as you will get lag because of the restricting of power to the CPU. Changing the cpu governer etc. to save battery will help with heat as they just slow down the ram and CPU.
My appologies if you have done all of these and are still experiencing these issue, i do know where you are coming from but they are trivial issues and depend on how you as the user do use the phone. Have a browse around forums etc. to find tips on slowing things down a little and things will cool down for your phone.
I hope i have helped even a little bit
How do you define overheating on the phone? What temperature?

No overheating here. What do you mean? The phone gets hot and turns off?
overheating

This phone is not known for overheating any more than any other phone that will heat up when driven to its max for example in heavy 3D gaming. There is a difference between heating up and overheating
First, run stock without any extra installed apps, and NO running apps or network connections or anything and see if it's overheating.
Do not use an aftermarket charger--they could be rated for different amps and overheat or damage themselves or the battery.
Phone brand new?--simple--ask OnePlus to replace it.
Phone used?--probably been abused--get your money back and get another one.

This. Far too many people mistake a device heating up for a device overheating. All phones heat up, they have no active cooling. If the phone was actually overheating the thermal cutoff would kick in and the phone would shut down.

No overheating issue here, you may want to try different - weaker charger like stock Samsung or Sony one with output current ~700mA-1A and see how it performs.

Hello Folks,
I am planning to buy poco X2 for my brother. I just want to know whether the device gets hotter when we play pubg? For sure, my brother won't switch to custom roms. So in stock os, is it getting hotter?
Also heard it device gets hotter while charging. Is it true?
using official charger, phone does not get hot, but its winter here so can't say anything for summers.
on PUBG yes phone gets hot on longer gaming sessions, i personally don't use case which helps but it gets uncomfortable after some time and you may also see device overheat pop-up. (no reboot or crash issues though)
Yes phones generate Heat while charging but it's normal for fast charging devices they tend to get hot while charging ( it's summer here almost 38° and device heats up to like 40° max)
Now if we come to gaming Device heats up to 40°-41° max while gaming said that it become little uncomfortable to hold without back cover
But you will not see decrease in performance as it's designed like that it will dissipate heat and not compromise performance
I will recommend this device ? You can definitely buy for your brother
But my suggestion if you can increase budget go with flagship processor if your focus is only gaming
I just notice that when using the 7 pro in light tasks, the center bottom part of the screen gets quit hot (hotter than the place where tensor g2 is). Probably that's the place where screen driver chip is ( not sure ?), but I have never seen a phones screen driver chip get as hot as this. Is that seen on other 7 pro or just my phone had a bad qc?
Maybe the battery. Watch for signs of a failure ie swelling, decreased capacity and erratic fast charging.
The Pixel is specifically designed for the heat to dissipate through the screen.

Most phones do. There's no heat pipe or high current components on that end of the phone... other than the battery.
