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
I'm coming over from a thicker EVO 4G so maybe I'm just not used to it in thinner device, but when i watch a video, or do something with motion in it like a camera, the top of the device gets a good bit warmer then the rest of it, at about the level of the volume keys. It's not instant, but it takes a minute or two to happen.
Has anyone experienced this? / Do ya think it's normal for a thinner device?
I've noticed it on Stock as well as a custom ROM.
Known issue. There's other threads about it. Glass conducts heat more than plastic, among other things. Check out the other thread, probably in general.

Not after undervolting
having own a Gnex and now a N4, this thing barely gets warm... the Gnex was VERY HOT, to the point sometimes at lunch i had to turn the AC, put it on MAX, set the phone against it without the battery cover for about 2-3 minutes, to cool it off..
the N4 has never got hot on me
OP, check if you have a "Slow" binned CPU. Those have higher stock voltages and therefore get hotter faster

Don't set it on anything Cold after it heats up
Don't set it on anything Cold after it heats up, you have a chance to crack the back.

I have "fast", I don't want to touch a "slow" binned cpu if that's true lol..
Fast.
I'm trying to understand, is a good thing or a bad thing?
I have 'nominal' and yet to encounter phone warming up. I can also UV using faux clock if I ever need it
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.
(Verizon version here)
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.

I came across this bug earlier today and just tested it out for the past hour or so. When the phone is on WiFi it heats up twice as fast and gets hotter than it would have just on mobile data. Depending on how many bytes your phone is transferring will depend on how hot it gets which is why some of you are experiencing freezes/reboots when updating multiple apps at the same time through the play store.

Jeepers, what the heck is up with Qualcomm? The 810 was a disaster, and now you guys with the 820 have been posting all kinds of issues, I really feel for you guys.
Are you on 2.4ghz or 5? I noticed on 5ghz the battery drains very quickly, the speeds and wall penetration is nice though.

I guess. I'm just lucky or not as picky. Zero lag. Battery gets me 6 to 8 hours sot a day over 18 to 24 hours. No heat issues.
I've had the g2, g3, nexus 6, Droid turbo, galaxy s6 and this. Best phone I've ever used. With out question.
My only complaint so far is slow motion on the camera can be choppy and skip frames.
Million sold bound to be some Duds, I'm just glad mine wasn't one of them. Or I was and I'm too naive to see it. In which case I would say ignorance is bliss LOL
5ghz probably draws a little more power but shouldnt be enouhh to make the phone heat up

Normal heating
I did hands on this but did not find excessive heating issue during the wifi use , Will not say their is no heating . Same issue raises during the use of heavy app . But I would again say its normal heating .
