There are...
By increasing the voltage/speed you reduce the life of the CPU itself. However, these chips aren't designed to last 3 years and then die. They are designed to last 20 years and so OC'ing take the life to something akin to 12 years. Nothing to worry about.
If your software doesn't hang and the phone doesn't freeze/overheat then no worries.
I've had mine overclocked for a few days now with SetCPU to control the speed, and I've noticed that the phone is significantly faster and that the battery lasts longer on idle. Mine is running at 1305 (seemed to be the sweet spot without fiddling with voltage, might play with that another time) and I haven't had any issues at all. Unless you consider a free speed boost to be an issue, anyway.

Yeah I found a side effect.. not being satisfied with stock and not knowing when to stop overclocking lol 1.6 here I come!!

Side effects?!
You will become very picky with phones.. trust me, once you get used the the fast overclocked G2, you don't want to use any other slow pines.
I know for certain that you could reduce the lifespan of your CPU, but that's if you're not being smart with it. Along with SetCPU, I was able to increase my battery life by having it idle very low when it's sleeping. I was able to keep my phone at 100% charge, unplugged, for five hours straight before it dipped down to 99%. Then it slowly started picking up.
I'd say that so long as you're smart with overclockiing, you'll be okay.

Thread locked, not developmental
Currently have a droid incredible and have flashed every possible rom, radio combo. Im a heavy user so battery life has always been an issue although improved with a rom known as mcsenseless, im still longing for better battery life. How does the X stand up in the battery dept.?
The Droid X can get up to twenty hours, although it's uncommon.
I average twelve to fifteen hours with moderate usage.

And thats wih the regular battery? Im using a seidio 3500 and get anywhere from 6-8 hours of actual usage.
*with moderate usage and a good custom rom maybe. I can get over twelve hours with cm7 and CPU profiles and moterate usage.

On an additional note, I believe that stock based roms get better battery life than 2ndInit roms such as MIUI and CyanogenMod.
I'm currently using CyanogenMod 7 GB

Stick with the HTC incredible Motorola doesn't have enough developer support as HTC ..also have you tried mikg ROM for incredible
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Im aware of the support, flashed just about every rom out there. But if the droid x does well with battery and cell reception. I may need to jump over. I found a good combination to better the battery life but like I said still wanting more
Thinking of x2 now with hope of unlocked bootloader.

At this point I would go with a Bionic.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Not paying full price for the bionic and im not eligble for an upgrade until november of 2012.
I got myself a droid x and I am not happy. it's got a lot of cool features, but wifi has been super flakey, both when connecting to the AP, and when acting as a hotspot. I used to have a samsung vibrant, which might not have been the best of breed, but at least wifi worked fine. With this pos, I can never tell if wifi is working or not. Tried to use it as a hotspot - had to reboot twice during 30 minutes of use. If I was looking for a phone now - I'd rather take samsung fascinate
Depending on settings and usage, as well as what tweaks you're using, the Droid X can last anywhere from 3 hours(Angry Birds marathon play) to 2 or 3 days(keeping your pocket company) on its stock battery. However, I don't recommend getting it, as there are a number of connectivity flaws(wi-fi, hotspot, and dropping from 3G almost every day on stock) that make the phone a hassle. True, it scores better in benchmarks than the Droid Inc, but waiting for now is probably best. After all, new phones with better processors will soon be coming around and that exta power will be worth waiting for.
You can get the droidX and snag this sexy beast of a script here for it...

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
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
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.

I have a battery widget and at times when on calls ive gotten up to 101F
i want to say my phone runs warmer than my buddy running the same widget
Mine has only been hot after charging on the Panasonic pad. If the glass breaks from it then RMA!

It certainly gets hot, but only slightly more than my Samsung GS1 i9000. Fact of life when running a quad core at these speeds without a fan.
Mine does it too but m not complaining

Mine gets pretty hot. G SAM app reports that the battery has reached 110*f from internet browsing on 3g.
I noticed mine gets pretty warm if I use it for a while just browsing the web.

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.
Haven't even had mine what I'd really even call warm let alone hot.
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)
I've been reading about lag, bad battery, phones running hot, volume buttons sticking and so on. I must really have been lucky! I've tried duplicating the problems but can't. I play games and surf the internet and forums for sometimes an hour and no heat issue

+1. None of these issues are present with my device.
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!
hi,
my new moto x style is getting quite hot for no other reason than that the screen is on.
i'm not playing games or doing anything else cpu or gpu intensive. browsing in chrome, reading xda threads, ...
is this normal for the X Pure?
How long have you had the phone? Mine ran warm the first few days I had it.

Download GSAM battery app and let us know how hot? It shouldn't get hot unless your turbo charging or going crazy with your gpu.

Not "drop it like it's hot" hot
But warm/hot enough to be an annoyance. Not even doing any processor intensive things.

Good idea, will do that!
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.
