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.

Wanted to let everyone know it does cool down a lot after charging to 100%. You will receive it at about 35% and it gets hot fast. Idk why, even with SIM... It adjusts though and can't wait for a recovery to root!

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.

Batteries are made to withstand much hotter than 40c If it wasn't the case, batteries would just die in ambient temp in some summer countries

It wont do damage to the battery as long as the battery doesn't go over 60c. It just means it'll discharge quicker and you'll have to put it through another cycle. Modern phones have like 2 years of cycles in them in you charge each day before until the life starts to become noticeable that it dropping off. I think I saw something where they're at about 80% after a year of charging per day. At the same time not using the battery is bad for it too..
So tbh I wouldn't worry about it as contracts last 2 years.

Yeh but they discharge quicker as they become hot, usually the battery doesn't get hot on a summers day unless you leave it out in the sun. That is why they die so quickly under heavy use because they get really hot.
I've seen my battery hit 47 degrees. I asked HTC tech support about this. The guy clearly had no idea but went away and asked someone and came back with the answer that, so long as it's below 55, you should be okay. I hope he's right.

get kernel tuner and look at the "battery temperature". Some apps like GSAM takes the processor temperature and not the battery temp.
Or also dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to the battery statistics page. You should see there your real battery temperature. It's kinda strange about you guys reaching 40c on battery temperature as I live in a tropical country and this month is peak of summer season. And I only get like 27c on my battery temperature right now with regular use.

This is the most puzzling issue for me so far
I fully agree with @Terrorantula the problem is at hot temps it consumes battery quicker
i was using my uncle's unit for a while and i reported it doesnt get hot easily, my own unit is different though, its around 40C all the time during ordinary use as well
im worried about both drain and throttling in gaming
now i have a like an OCD about the previous unit
definitly we need to look into this, the funny part my own unit is supposed to consume less since its PVS3 vs PVS2, im even thinking we got it all wrong about PVS maybe the lower PVS is the better one?

DH4?
Dungeon Hunter 4. It's a decent looking game, so I imagine it pushes the phone fairly hard. I've come across times when it has noticeably slowed down. But that may be due more to lack of optimizations for the S600.
It's a gameloft game though, so you know they will try to screw you for money. And that is definitely the case with this game. Really good game, but you gotta be patient.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I get high temps very often, I guess this is the cost of the premium aluminum build.
I'd think the aluminum build would help keep temps lower as it transfers heat more easily. I'm guessing the S600 and the battery combination are the cooker in this one.
...how the hell does Samsung get away with it's faster clocked s600?

Yes the phone does get hot sometimes especially after 10-15 mins of continuously browsing the web on 3G+ or 3G and after 15-20 mins on wifi.. But that's for stock 4.2.2 and 4.3. After undervolting and underclocking the device using custom kernels and ROMs the phone does not get very hot.. It's between 37-40 even after playing games like nova 3 and nfs mw for an hour if you hold the phone with your bare hands and it obviously depends on your configuration.

Thin glassy phone + powerfull cpu = heat Nothing to worry about.
It gets hot, at least on stock firmware, although my definition of hot might be more sensitive than others. I don't know what it would be like talking on the phone for an hour with it getting hot next to your face, although I haven't done that. I have to use custom rom and underclock the cpu a bit, so it's not an really issue anymore. I probably will get flamed for this, but I don't recommend this device to you if you don't like phones getting hot. But I guess lots of these newer flagship phones that has thin plastic casing probably gets hot too.
With normal usage the phone doesn't get too hot or anything. If you are fond of overclocking and disabling thermal throttle you will get pretty high temperature's. Around 70 degrees celcius.
It get's hot as any other phone but because it has got a glass back you feel the heat better.

It didn't feel warm at all after undervolting and limiting heat using Trickster Mod (and has been yundervolted for the past 3 months).
Before that it could sometimes get really hot though.

Is your phone undervolted and temprature limited?
My temprature never goes over 40 degrees celsius, and feels rather cold most of the time.
Even with rather intensive games like NFS Most Wanted
This phone will not burn you. There isn't a real reason to consider the heat a problem. The temperature of the phone is regulated by the kernel, if it gets too hot the kernel takes measures to reduce the amount of heat being produced. This is a non issue.
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.

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)

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.

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.

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.
