I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing frequent reboots? I am averaging about one a day with really light use(under one hour screen on time). It sometimes freezes at the unlock screen just after the power button is pressed to wake it up after being idle for a while. Other times it will reboot while its just sitting there. My phone is currently on stock ROM and is not rooted.
I did every day and it also got very warm whilst supposedly idle. I got a replacement and have had just 1 reboot in just over a week and it runs cooler too.
I suggest you get it replaced.
Ps. Do you have poor battery life too because it's a lot better with my new phone.

So your replacement "only" rebooted once in a week? Correct me if i'm wrong, but from my understanding, a phone is NEVER supposed to reboot for no reason.

Correct. But I'd consider that acceptable considering it has no other hardware flaws and put it down to buggy software or a rogue app. If it's an isolated reboot then I'm happy, a reboot every day certainly points to a hardware issue and not acceptable.

To me it's unacceptable, as it obviously shouldn't do this and the device seems to be defective if it just does that. Also, there are other hardware flaws, for example that the device gets so hot that it needs to throttle the performance after ~5 mins of work and has to completely shut down after ~10 minutes.

That is not a flaw, the S4 Pro can't disperse heat efficiently in a small device. Not to mention that even throttled, it's probably still the strongest chipset in terms of brute power.

I'm just realistic when it comes to tech. If my only issue is 1 isolated reboot (which it is at the moment) then I'm happy. Don't think I've ever owned anything with a chip that hasn't at least restarted/frozen once.
Sure the phone gets warm under heavy use but I haven't noticed any slowdown in real use so all good. PS My previous did stutter when hot, unlike this one, so I'm certain that was faulty.

That's not correct. There are other phones with exactly the same CPU, and none of them throttle. Only Nexus 4 does.

I don't really give a sh** what you consider normal work. I've never used that term.
When there's a game that needs the full performance of an S4 pro and the N4 can't deliver it, it won't run. The N4 is the only device that cannot run it's max stated clock frequency.

Then don't buy it? Get the GS3 then. (which btw throttles as well)
I'll wait for some custom kernels and updates to come out. This is brand new silicone.
I think I'm mostly in denial at the moment. I really want this phone to be awesome, however I had my first random reboot about 15 minutes after I got it on the 16th of November. Battery life has been quite horrible most of the time due to the "msm_hsic_host wakelock" issue. I have never had a defective phone and I wasn't ready for a "nexus" to be one. Yes I know it can and does happen. I keep telling my self "4.2.2 will fix all the things".

Do you happen to have a widget that is polling your location? I had HD Widgets installed, with my GPS off it kept rebooting my phone... Now it seems a-ok! This issue has been brought to Google's attention and I think they're working on it.
I don't have the msm_hsic wakelock anymore... Solved that with Franco's kernel and it really improved my battery life.
Hopefully this helps!
I don't, I am running minimal installed apps :-/ . I also have the buzz in the ear piece while on and off calls. It's time to RMA I guess.
I bit the bullet and ordered a new one :-/ The rep I got was awesome and the overall experience was good. Unfortunately I was made aware that a replacement could be 2 weeks away. Today my phone was off charger for 4 hours in good reception. Screen on time less than 10 mins, sleep time was just over and hour and I have 48% battery left. blah.

This thing gets hot! Just been configuring launcher pro which took around 5 minutes and wasn't data intensive and the back of the phone is really hot. So much that I can smell the plastic heating up! The battery drained real fast during the process too.

I have the exact same problem, it happens especially when I play any games or intensive appliaction. The battery drains and it gets hot next to the camera, I suspect this is where the cpu lives. Do you think its because its rooted? because I rooted it as soon as I got it so I dont know what it was like before.
And as I am away from the uk for the next six weeks I cant even send it back to O2
No nothing to do with root, mine was same before and after, pretty normal to get hot on some demanding apps.

It gets really hot sometimes though, not to the extent of burnt plastic smell but it gets pretty uncomfortable touching around lens at the back.
I've been going through this this morning. It seems that the CPU loves to go up to 1.2GHz even if it doesn't need to be that high (and it stays there). Also there I've also been noticing through ADB shell that their are a few niggles. For example the wi-fi sharing process can start without even being activated.
For example this was a ADB shell top taken while running Cordy downclocked to 800MHz in setcpu. The phone was a tiny bit warm but only by the camera (where the CPU is). Basically, this just shows that if you are playing a game, nothing else is going on so the CPU shouldn't be going up to 1200MHz. And it plays the same as when it isn't underclocked.
I'm currently assisting Pulser with investigating this until he gets his SGS2.

My advice is keep the phone as samsung intended it...or at least change very little. You will see far improved battery life and none of the over heating problems.

that's just not true.
Mine gets hot aswell .. it's random sometimes but usualy with playing games etc. I suspect it has something to do with the samsung drivers/software and not our tinkering.
Bugs bugs bugs...
Mine also gets fairly hot, which might be a little uncomfortable - but that's the sacrifice you make when you get such a high powered device in such a small space.
Well,amount of apps/tinkering/etc has nothing to do with the phone getting got UNLESS an installed app in messing something up.I have heard many such cases when a rogue app made the CPU run at 100% in different phones.If that's the case you have to find and remove the app.I'd suggest OS monitor for finding it.Never happened to me though!
What's more,it's normal for it to get more hot than your average phone,as it carries more power under the hood and has nothing to help it dissipate the generated heat,as it's plastic.The Desire HD does a very good job with managing heat and I have never exceeded 40 C,even when gaming with an overclock at 1.8GHz and performance governor.Not saying the DHD is better,but Samsung wouldn't have left something like this if it would damage the phone.So I tend to believe that it's designed to get hot.
Mine has overheated twice.
Both times, when trying to pair itself automatically to my car kit. The phone got really really hot (i noticed it warming my leg in my jeans pocket) and needed the battery pulling out to reset it. When it started back up, the running temp was nearly 50 degrees (in standby, it runs at about 27)
Hasn't done it since though, just keeping my eye on it!

I know this is an encryption issue most likely but you can't switch it off on an nexus 6. You can on other devices including a nexus 5 on lollipop
Why should that even be a problem? I turn my nexus off at least once a week for the night to let it sit, but still. I don't understand why this is a huge concern.

I don't know why folks are saying this is irrelevant. This is a premium phone afterall. I switch my phone on and off several times a day when the battery goes.
Well the note 4 still runs Dalvik only, turbo probably has Dalvik by default... This makes total sense as your phone boots up slower with ART to help with performance later.
The N6 has to be decrypted while the others don't because they're not running Lollipop. Wait till they have Lollipop.

I reboot about once a week on average, usually right before going to be. Boot times are meaningless to me.
Decryption and ART take time to complete.
I also don't really care that much how long it takes my phone to boot. However, it's still concerning to see it boot SO much slower than its similarly spec'd contemporaries. The slow boot is a symptom of an underlying issue, not a problem in itself.

The underlying issue is that all these devices are not running under the same conditions. Turn on encryption and update to lollipop (or turn on Art) and run the test.

FYI, turning your phone on and off actually drains the battery faster. When booting up, it needs to load like a hundred of process so eventually it will easily eats up your phone's resource. If you leave your phone on standby, it will last longer. 2nd, why bother getting a phone if you don't keep it on for calls. You'll be better off getting a small size tablet and use Google Hangout to make your call for free when needed
Until these are all running Lollipop as well, I couldn't really care less about comparisons.
Even then, who cares if it's 45 seconds slower? I'd argue that the amount of people that reboot their phones multiple times daily are a VERY small minority. On average, I reboot my Moto X once a week or so just to keep it fresh.

Whats the solution to battery life and overheating during regular use (not on the charger)?
You realize your issues with heat build during charging are because of the fast-charge technology, right? Totally normal, as a ton of power is flowing into the phone. You can always use a slow charger to charge the phone while in use. You shouldn't have any heat build up during use when not also charging. I know I don't. The hottest the phone gets is slightly warm.

For overheating, use a different adapter if you have the 1.8 GHz version. Battery life, just get a third party battery saver and turn on airplane mode. That will save you a ton of battery. I did it for mine and the phone last from 6 A.M to 10 P.M.

Very dependent on ambient temperatures as well.
Anandtech has confirmed that the panel in the ZF2 is inefficient compared to competitors, so not much can be done about that aspect. Their analysis of the phone is in depth, as are their other reviews.
I would like to return mine because the battery is performing right under the Optimus G I owned. With 3000mAh I was looking forward to battery comparable to the G2. If the next OTA improves battery, then I'll keep the Asus.

Yeah. The people from Anandtech are pretty good at evaluating devices. Also this would explain why the battery drains rapidly during use & barely when inactive. Battery life is very important to me, so a phone with a removable battery might be best.

One thing to keep in mind, is that though the display uses a lot of power, the Intel chip itself seems very efficient. Not only does it sleep well, but as is shown in the PCMark testing on the Anand website, it uses its power very efficiently. Thus, though the phone's maximum display on time is much lower than the other phones, its practical usage time is fairly similar. I get around 5 hours screen on time with 1-2 days of sleep time.

For me getting even 4hrs is requiring me to disable apps, use greenify to kill background apps, and use min brightness. I tried factory resets, so doing those over and over isn't improving my battery. Honestly I just want a new phone with the battery life of my G2, since development is slowing down for it.

Hello everyone
Yesterday I received my Moto X pure Edition, after 3 hour of charge I transfer all of my files and stuff from my old Nexus 5. After a few minutes of use I noticed that the phone started to overheat excessively (110 farenheit) and the battery only lasted 3 hours, I did a complete reset of the phone but the same result overheat after 15 minutes of use.
I replaced/updated the play services software and same thing.
Someone has the same problem???
Please Advice...
Arnt u glad its not the 810 lolol.. But in all seriousness i get about 4-5 hrs ost, depending what i do yes my phone gets hot but thats normal..
It all depends what ur doing when ur phone gets hot, are u watching videos.. Playing games.. Multitasking

If you were setting up your phone of course it will get hot. After that it should settle down unless rogue app or games.

If you were setting up your phone of course it will get hot. After that it should settle down unless rogue app or games.

I honestly don't think it is. I had 3 G4s and they were all hot and glitchy. I honestly think it is the sd808. Back when I called Samsung about exchanged a note 4 developer edition the guy told me that snapdragon 808/810 were heat prone and they would not be using them for upcoming phones. That was before it was publicly known. I still think there is something awry with their latest processors. Even late batch sd805 had heat issues. My note 5 had zero signs of heat and my note 4 you really have to push to get hot. The g4 & moto x got hot texting or web browsing! I don't get it. Can't be a confidence that both are 808 processors and heat demons

I don't understand how it's so hard for them to make a chip not overheat. I mean this isn't the first, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation of chips. Perhaps custom kernels will allow us to throttle better?
Cool here except when turbo charging or navigation is on.

Does the phone have a warning notification when it is getting too hot?

Haven't seen one yet and mine gets hot several times a day when I'm multitasking or just playing a game.

Computers get hot, CPU's get hot, PC's and laptops have fans to keep them cool...cell phones do not. I do not believe that any cell phone will ever stay "cool" when doing CPU/GPU intensive tasks. That's just the way it is.
turbo charger will heat it up that is obvious but yes when you do stuff that uses lots of cpu/ram it will heat up a little same was with my note4 .
Mine only overheats when I am doing some heavy usage...I don't think "Overheat" is the right word, maybe just "gets warm". But over the weekend, I acquired a Samsung Galaxy S6 (in a trade for a different phone). When setting it up, it was getting hotter than the MXP ever got. I checked it with Gsam battery and it was 133 degrees and took about 30 minutes to cool down. My MXP gets hot, but cools down pretty quick.

I agree that phones need a little fan or something but i disagree with any phone will stay cool the note 4 and 5 are always 10+ degrees cooler then the x or my g4 was. im telling you its the 808 chipset

Hello everyone
Yesterday I received my Moto X pure Edition, after 3 hour of charge I transfer all of my files and stuff from my old Nexus 5. After a few minutes of use I noticed that the phone started to overheat excessively (110 farenheit) and the battery only lasted 3 hours, I did a complete reset of the phone but the same result overheat after 15 minutes of use.
I replaced/updated the play services software and same thing.
Someone has the same problem???
Please Advice...

It's the Media Scanner service. Because you added all that media from the Nexus 5 it had to be indexed. Once done, it will settle down and be OK.
This is some information I found in another thread:
"For each file and directory it finds it creates an entry in the so-called Android Media Store. For special file types like images, videos and music files it also scans for meta data like EXIF information for images and mp3 tags for music files. Applications may query the Media Store to find specific files bases on the file type or meta data. Well known applications that do so are the Gallery and the Music Player. Other applications may also do so.
The media scanner runs as a background service and is not visible to the user. "
Hello, i just got a nexus 6p 32gb for 250 brand new sealed in box. when i booted it up. it had a lot of updates since it last update was in december. i downloaded all my stuff. but after a few minutes of surfing facebook or safari it will start to get hot within 5 minutes. im wondering if a rom will fix this or is hardware problem. Thank you any advice will be helpful.

"surfing facebook or safari" safari is for apple only, you sure you didn't buy an iPhone? lol also no a ROM won't fix your phone getting hot. send it back.

How hot is it getting? This phone has the Snapdragon 810 chip which is very well known for becoming pretty warm.
Mine was also very hot the first day I had it. But after I got all the updates, set it up with my apps and charged it again(from 0%) it's great!

i did the exactly same thing applied all the updates and then made it died then it still heats up.
Give it a couple days and a few charge cycles. once the phone and kernel settle is when you'll know how the phone it truly running. Also, letting a battery die IS BAD for the battery NOT helpful. It's NEVER good to let a battery reach zero, regardless if its the first charge or not. That was the way you did it with an old Ni-Cad batteries to create a memory. These batteries are Lithium-Ion, they never create a memory. It's better to charge it around 15-20% and overall best to charge at around 50% fir longer battery life (more charge cycles).

is it normal for it to get hot. after using it for 5 minutes on the chrome app. im just wondering if its the chipset. if its a common problem then ill adjust to it.

Yeah it will get warm playing games and a bit of Yahoo video streaming of will get warm. Mine never seems to get more then 94°f or so
Like others have said, it's the chip plus the fact the entire thing is made of metal.
