My phone has been getting really hot even reaching 110 degrees this only using the phone for FB, Tapatalk or G+ is this normal or could be a faulty unit, and also could be this the reason for a not good battery life?

During extended screen on time, like having Hit-it-rich running for 20 minutes
my Moto X Pure reached the temperature of 113
Still stock
The same screen time and app running on the One Plus One -- Reached the temperature of 101.3
The One Plus One is using CM12.1
These are battery temperatures according to the program.
I'm on my second moto x and it definitely runs much cooler than the first which would get to 112 browsing chrome.
I haven't bothered to check this unit as it is that much better.
The only time I noticed mine get hot was when I was installing all my apps. Since then, it's been remarkably cool, even when streaming Rick & Morty HD from Amazon.
It gets hot with Candy Crush...
mine gets warm from charging or just when i have the screen on ...it's always pretty warm, but as far as problems go that is pretty far down on the list
Mine hit 120 degrees F according to Ampere using Waze on the drive home. I use adaptive brightness set at half. I also have an Incipio Case protecting it....although I feel it's only hurting it temp-wise. I'm so on the verge of rooting tonight, but feel I might want to hold off in case I have to return it for lower than wanted battery life and the announcement of the Huawei 6p.
The only time I've noticed it getting warm since initial setup was while making a nandroid backup. I've not been very demanding of it though.
Phone Temperature!!!
Mine gets to 107 when playing heavy 3D games and at same time downloading with LTE beyond ten minutes. Other than that it is barely warm to warm. 80s and mid 90s. Upper 90s with 3d games.
Mine easily gets above 110 when I'm playing clash for a few min. Seems to avg 100 anytime my screen is on. Thinking I might need to swap for another one.

Only time mine got hot was when I tried to play Monster Strike while plugged in..got up to 107 but there was no degradation of performance.
are you guys talking celcius or F!? i sure hope F lol.
right now installing all my apps and charging on my samsung fast charger, it's at 150 F lol..pretty damn hot. i just cut my sim down to a nano sim but i think it cut some of the sim part off ugh..gonna try it..if not, off to verizon to get a card
mine ran 100+ at all times. Texting, tapatalk, facebook, anything it was always hot. Worst call quality, awful heat and battery I had return label printed after a half a day of use. Worst phone ever

mines getting pretty warm.. what are you guys using to view temp? the one I used says it can't read temp and only figured it out with an algorithm... so idk if it's even legit. but yeah this phone def gets warmer than my note 4. I have a feeling it's just a warm phone overall. when turbo charging it gets really hot when you're using it. I think it's fine though. I'll probably keep mine.

When I returned mine to bestbuy the guy said the Moto X Pure was getting returned like crazy, and it was due to heat issues. He didn't even look at the phone to see if I had unlocked it, which I had. Apparently I was the fourth return that day and it was 2 PM.

Mine gets hot as well. Dk the exact temp but just browsing chrome, playing a game, or watching a Youtube video will make this phone hot. Most likely will return to Motorola this week, it's not much of an upgrade compared to the OPO in my opinion.

See thread title.
While playing simple games (like Flow Free), Facebook, and web browsing, my phone can get really warm/hot. It gets much worse while doing these while it's charging.
I haven't experienced any problems with the heat except when I was installing a lot of things via the Play store, and I got a couple reboots. It's fine otherwise... just hot.
Anyone else experience this?
Mine feels normal during everyday use, during games, about the same, ever so slightly warmer at most. I don't really notice. Any background processes heating your phone up? How is battery life as well?
Your previous phone probably got just as hot. The glass helps transfer the heat better than plastic.
Mine does get warm as well But I think the fact that we feel it might have to do with the size of the device. It's pretty thin.
Mine gets pretty toasty, but that's when I'm using it pretty extensively, like browsing web/forums for an hour straight.

Battery life is pretty good. I'll go through a whole days use with juice to spare.
My phone gets hotter than warm though. Last night playing Flow Free while charging, pressing my finger on the screen eventually gave a little sting.
I know this phone has a lot more CPU power than the hercules (Tmo GS2), but the GS2 with its big glass front never got hot like this, and it would rarely get warm.
I think if your phone is rebooting because of the heat generated from installing apps, you need to RMA it. My phone definitely feels hot after a session of playing a game but it has never rebooted because of it.
Guys, it's a highend phone, what do you expect?
Do you expect a high-end CPU in a desktop PC to run cool? Even in standby an i7 can go up to 30-40°C depending on voltage. And for four cores at 1.512 MHz theres a lot of voltage needed. Don't worry about it unless you get reboots thats not normal.
If the problem continues, send them up here to the north of Sweden. It's gonna be -25°C tomorrow and I could do with some handwarmers
I've had a overheating while playing stupid zombies 2, the phone got hot as ever, but strangely seems to be a ROM related problem, as I had this issue with aokp, while on cm10, playing the same game, the phone get lightly warm, but no more. I was using Franco kernel on both too

never more than a little warm with extensive use.
I'm on stock, updated the phone to whatever is the latest version that google pushed and i just started playing Angry brids for about 10 mintues and the phone got noticeably warm. I guess this is the new 'normal' now?
Mine only gets hot when I'm charging it and using it at the same time.

Mines fine during normal usage. Except when I play graphically demanding games such as need for speed most wanted, after the first race, the screen and the back near the top is hot. Worried about it, I remember the HTC sensation used to get real hot as well, but I've also got an aftermarket battery which also helped with the heat.

Before I swap this thing out, I just wanted to poll you guys and see what the general concencus is.
I'm leaning towards "that's just how it is" after seeing Pocket Lints review that actually called it hot, not warm, but hot.
I have a Note 2 now and doing the same things, replying to forum post emails and browsing around, on WIFI no less, barely gets warm. G2 on the other hand becomes a heating pad...from top to bottom.

Mine gets warm gaming and after a good span on the internet.

Cool as a cucumber here. Gets a little warm when doing something really cpu heavy. Nothing I would call "hot "

How I mention already before in other posts. That is a build in feature of the phone. It is an automatic hand warmer. Specially useful in the winter time.

So warm, room temp, cold as a veggie, and a hand warmer...
But more importantly, you all don't really believe one phone is cold and the other is hot, do you?
I'm inclined to believe they're all the same temp, but we all have different tolerance levels for heat.

Mind blowing...
The only time mine gets warm, (never hot) is after some graphic intensive gaming or Qi charging for a prolonged period (Nokia DT-900)
My Droid MAXX HD was a nice hand warmer though.
Well, obviously that's the case. But I really wanted to believe there was a cooler running G2 out there...its such a great phone.

If it's running "hot" and you've already checked to make sure no apps have gone rogue, then I would definitely return it for another. We have 2 G2's bought from different parts of CA and neither have heat issues.
Hot means its eating battery too. Wouldn't be shocked if you got one from the bottom of the speed bin.

Or it could just mean the phone doesn't dissipate heat very well. I've noticed the screen in particular feeling warmer than I'm used to after some casual usage, but nothing that alarms me.
Have heard some people having heat and throttling issues with heavy graphical applications. However, it has seemed to be coming from the T-Mobile variants. I haven't heard a vzw user complain (yet)
Mine is fine (vzw)

Yeah no issues here either. and get an app that reads batt. temp at least if ur gonna compare heat levels. Mine never gets above 100 F. my s4 only got to about 96 on heavy usage. And i just returned a Moto x cause it climbed to the highest ive seen a phone, 117.

I truly believe these issues belong to people who came from older phones and are not well educated on how to efficiently use a smart phone. They load their phones with garbage apps and let it all run in the background while running game or streaming video in the foreground. They have a smoking fast phone that can run it all at once, but they are the first to cry and blame the phone when the battery drains fast or the phone gets hot.
Mine doesn't even get warm, let alone hot.

I have the VZW model. I'd like to know what game or games people are experiencing bad performance with so i can test it. Anyone willing to share?

Replacement gets just as hot. I highly doubt I got 2 bad phones, tho I can't get GPS working on the new one. Went back to the Note 2...barely warm. I am surprised by the amount of you that are saying it doesn't get warm @ all though. I think I'm just more sensitive to heat and have a lower tolerance threshold than most of you. Thanks for all the replies.

I've never used an Android phone that doesn't at least get warm. I think you've lost all feeling in your hands!
Hey all.
Had my N4 since the beginning but recently I'm getting quite an annoying problem.
When on 3G, as soon as I start using the phone, you can feel it getting warm but after about 10 mins of light use, its actually burning hot! It only happens on WiFi though.
I contacted Google and they made me factory reset which had no luck. Now there sending me a brand new N4 to replace it
Anyone had this issue before? I've never had any issues with my N4 before and I've had it since the beginning

i love these my n4 gets hot threads..
to start off, what battery and cpu temps does your phone reach? dont say it feels hot, feel isnt an accurate way to measure temp, its not a way to measure temp at all actually. feel will only give you if it feels warmer or cooler the body part you are doing the feeling with. and burning hot i highly doubt, unless your hand is ice cold. so, post your battery and cpu temperatures and we can go from there.
Mine was getting warm from the start. Thought it was lack of SIM, put that in and made some adjustments and its getting pretty darn hot... Am I alone on this?
When I first got it and put it on the fast charger and was playing with it. I noticed same thing it felt really warm even after i had it off the charger, but today I have not experienced the same. I have been using it pretty regularly but have not had it on the charger or played any games (at work) so I will report back once I do

Good to know I'm not alone. Good thing I got this at BB. If it's just a small percentage maybe I can just swap it out. It feels about 100 degrees + right now. So I'm using my tablet. I don't want to unlock bootloader until I know for sure.

I always wondered why my ear glowed the the dark after using my phone.
@Fantach read up on SARS levels on phones. It also makes the area of the body warm.
I plugged mine in with the Turbo charger when I got it (was at 43%) and did all the downloading and updating apps. It felt pretty hot, so I checked it with Gsam battery and it was 118 degrees. That's hotter than my M9 gets doing the same thing, but the M9 stays hot longer.
After it reached 100% (which was pretty fast), it cooled down pretty quick... It also didn't take too long to get back down to 70% (maybe 3 hours). Standby time is pretty good, but SOT seems to drain the battery pretty quick. But this is a new phone (basically a new ROM flash) and will settle in a few days and I expect to see better battery stats.

Heat is 100% fine. And Motorola Nexus 6 was a lot lower than iPhone.... Like myself and 2 other guys said. It's like the phone adjusts. It gets very hot AT FIRST, then it drastically cools down. Did an Antutu and it didn't even heat up. I swear, heat isn't an issue.

Thank you for your clarification, i feel much better now :victory:
Mine got hot today as well. It was downloading my apps. A little more past 100 apps from the Play Store. It's not a constant issue since I have been using the MXP
I've had this phone for 3 days and it has not calmed down. Still gets hot and this screen destroys battery time. It has nice standby but when the screen is a battery hog. The temps get high with any real usage. My Nexus 6 has been much better with temps and battery. Wondering if it's a bad faulty batch or if this is the processor/screen.
It's a shame because this phone is a dream besides all that. But I am suspect to keeping this with the overheat and battery drain.

Interested to see what you come back with. However, it might settle down a little since you are only 4 days into it. Let us know what GSAM shows eating up your battery. Something might have gone rogue on you.
mine randomly will hit up to like 103 if I'm using it for a bit and switching between apps etc. charging on turbo charger hits like 110 or so.

This is one of the reasons I sent mine back. Mine got insanely hot. Wouldn't burn you, but hot enough to the point that it would worry you. At first, If I started to feel it get warm I'd screen off and put it in my pocket, but even then it would build heat. Tried brightness settings and CPU tuning, but nothing worked except for a refund. Ordered a Tempered glass screen protector for nothing now. Tried to give it away twice with no success so the First person to PM me about it gets it free. I have no use for it.
Yeah that was a big reason for me sending mine back, I had it for a total of 5 or 6 days and it would get super hot for no reason. I could be going through emails or searching something on google and it would heat up almost to the point of feeling like I was running a stress test on the phone. I know 4 people that own this phone and they have all had problems with heat, I personally feel like all that heat kills the lifespan of the phone which was a big reason for returning it. Hope you figure it out man, good luck.
It's to be expected guys snapdragon 800 series aka housefire edition. Just be glad we didn't get the 810 which would start melting plastic if left unchecked. Qualcomm is at an end with Samsung's new exynos that barely emits heat while having ludicrous performence I wish Samsung would make a stock Android phone.
I don't think the phone gets that hot, but maybe that's just because I'm coming off the HTC One M9. My MXPE does get warm from time to time, but I have yet to experience it getting so hot as to render it uncomfortable to hold. I had the HTC One M9 and the M8 before it, and those phones definitely got crazy hot. Even my old Motorola XT912 (Droid RAZR Maxx) got hotter than the MXPE seems to. I got my MXPE with the Walnut back, so maybe the wood materials just don't heat up as much.
I wouldn't say phone heats up for no reason. Something is making phone work under no activity. Something running back ground. If your rooted, you can pin point the heateruper. I'm hoping with 6.0 coming soon, we can get optimized rom with bada$$ kernel for best battery tweaking. I can only hope and patiently wait..

Ha-ha came from the same phones(except the m9), anyways mine only got hot for the first couple days, now it runs way cooler than my older phones
i think it's fine now after 1 week of usage.
sometimes it gets warm while browsing on lte but it only heats up to about 42°C which should be fine.
i use GSam Battery Monitor to check for temperature and battery usage.
Good to hear.
