Anyone else have this issue while using LTE? My phone is from Rogers. When it's on LTE, the bottom part of the phone, including the bottom of the screen heats up terribly bad and the whole phone eventually gets hot. I switched back to 4G and the heat went way. I prefer to use LTE as it's blazing fast here in Toronto. Anything I can do?
Hold the top of the phone? Just kidding.
At least, does anyone know an app where I can toggle LTE except when I'm browsing with the browser or watching YouTube?

Im with Bell and the phone doesnt even get warm when Im on LTE.
Same here very disappointed I switched from an iPhone to this phone and the iPhone never got hot. Are all android phones like this? Love the os and phone just not very happy with cheap build quality.

No, not all Android phones are like this.
Take a look at your phone again, you notice something? Yeah, it's thin. being as thin as it is, you're going to definitely feel heat if you push the phone hard enough. And considering android is more intensive in terms of processing, Its going to actually use the system, compared to ios since that doesn't have to be as intensive considering how overly simple it is.

Thanks for the explanation however should I worry my phone will burn out and cause damage or am I over reacting?

I would suggest that if the iPhone had to work hard it would get hot/warm as well. But since it is designed with simplicity in mind it doesn't have to. But I could be wrong.

I am experiencing a iphone like death grip on my atrix. Anyone else?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Nope, not one bit.
Edit: By not one bit, I mean that under normal circumstances of me holding the phone how I normally would it does not drop even 1 bar. I've made no attempt to purposefully smother it because thats well... stupid. If it works how you use it, why do you care if you can go out of your way to smother out a signal?
care to elaborate?
tried it, like on any phone out there...it goes down a bit but not badly. I even tried to smother it with both hands while running pandora, it dropped one bar. I'm not concerned with it. Motorola has been building radios for a long time, they know how to do that stuff.
Every single phone loses some signal when you basically cover it with your hands and squeeze. The reason the iphone was singled out so bad was because you could basically use one finger to short out the antenna and lose like 3 plus bars.

Although I did manage to make it lose 2 bars of signal strength. My Vulcan death grip did not work. I then realized it was a Borg, as it proceeded to assimilate me.
Mine usually goes to 1 bar when i hold the phone in left hand. Was just curious.

I've noticed quirks like that on almost every phone I've owned. It doesn't do it every time though, and doesn't seem to matter where on the phone your hand is.
All devices without a physical antenna do this. Which is almost every phone now a days. All my phones done this.
Try this, hold your device sideways in landscape mode wrapping your index finger along the side, right on top of the ear speaker. You'll see your bars increase.

I had never had the IPhone issue with a phone until I owned an Iphone....and then I owned a mytouch 4g and my wi-fi signal would drop depending on how i held it....
But nothing too bad

Actually, nothing is as bad as the iphone antenna. My friends iphone was horrible on that.
Yea, the mytouch is not so bad. I'm usually always holding my phone in landscape which is how it gets the best reception, so its all good.

I think every phone does
My wifi signal even loses a few bars for some reason when I do, and the router is ~20ft away without any walls
EDIT:
****, wrong forum.. sorry!!
Just now. I was on xda app and suddenly the screen started having a titty attack (its happened numerous times before on froyo)
i wasnt worried cuz i figured my processor was just being overworked so i downclocked it to 400mhz.
Usually this happens in miren or dolphin. Then it clicked. It MUST BE ALL THE ENERGY BEING USED TO RENDER THE WHITE! cuz i always use my [phone at or near max brightness....
the thing was, i lowered the brightness and it stopped, but then it just shut off....i had to unplug it and plug it back in for the charger to even start charging it again.
So my question...is the screen dying (which means it has been for a while.) or is the processor dying (which means it has been for a while lol)
just wonderin are you using a stock battery or a cheapy from ebay? i had this happen too, and it turned out to be neither the screen or the core. it was only happening when i was using my aftermarket chinese battery.
im using stock battery
maybe its not getting enough juice anymore? i do plug my phone into things alot...lol

I had a screen crap out on me. I had similar symptoms leading up to it. The next thing that happened was the touchscreen became unresponsive unless keyboard was open. Then it stopped altogether. Thank goodness for my insurance because it did die. When I took it to a Repair store they had to open a new one to replace it because it is not a common issue.

How bad is it, I know we can all experience the screen f'ing up just by raising the brightness all the way and go to settings>display>and uncheck power save mode then go to any screen that is white. Its a problem with the super amoled.
But if you have the power save mode thing checked I think ur f'ed

This has happened go me before. But it was because I was trying to flash roms over a custom stock rom and I didn't know. I suggest you Odin back to stock. Leave it for a week or 2.

Similar experience but usually only when under 10-15% battery left and full brightness. The screen just can't draw enough current I guess.

Ohhhh, well that's interesting. Because if you OC or if your phone heats up enough data corrupts and your screen spazzes out. But I wonder if weather could play an affect towards that.

Mobile devices can get up to 110 degress(or more) in certain circumstances. For example, when playing highly graphical/intense games, while GPS navigating/streaming music, streaming/playing movies, or AC charging... or any combination of the aforementioned.

I get that, but that doesn't change what I'm talking about. If you're doing any of the things I've mentioned on the phone, it can get very hot and yes, it will turn itself off to protect itself from overheating. Your car and computer do the same things. Overclocking can also cause the phone to generate more heat than normal.
If you're trying to tell me that you're just talking on the phone, letting it sit idle on your desk, and/or looking at Facebook and you're reaching those temperatures, I A) find that hard to believe B) need to know more information to try and help you find out what's going on.
I get your trying to help me and I realize that but your firdt assumption in 100% correct. Yes. I find it hard to believe to but thats what happened

Did you ever try turning off wifi, Bluetooth, GPS separately to see which is causing the heat up. That level of heat sounds like a defect but it still would be isolated to a particular component. Should have checked the battery too.

You got a replacement, correct? Is the new one okay? It could have been a bad module or a bad contact not conducting properly. In any case it does seem like a rare thing. I actually love how this phone doesn't get very hot.

So I rooted and froze all I felt comfortable with (almost all of the bloat and non used) and seemed to have a few more moments of jitters. I thought it was my fast moving in and out of apps, or my games causing the hardware to stumble, but now think its totally hardware.
My question is, after switching to force GPU settings in developer options, has anyone noticed it stopping? Or at least a marked decrease in episodes?
Disable HW overlays and force GPU rendering of 2d being the two options I'm using. I just started last night and already I'm noticing things seem much snappier and no stutters.

Yeah I noticed a jitter now and again, seems it was more placebo than cure. The setting did make the phone a little faster in response though.
