[Q]How long can you play games? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How long can you play games on nexus 4 without having your phone burned up?
and on hd games?

Depends on the game, but I played NOVA 3 for around a half hour and my phone barely got warm (I think 32C or 33C)
I don't really pay much attention to it though, as it never becomes an issue for me

I played NFS MW about 3 hours nonstop and got heated at the peak level ...

P.S. That was with stock kernel.

Huge drain during gaming?

I ve decided to play some games on my N4 but noticed very big battery consumption. I ve played 2 races in NFS MW and battery went down from 36 to 18... I am on CM10.1 with cm kernel. Tried faux one and huge drain as well.
How does your N4 behave during games?

It's a demanding game. There's not really anything weird about this. I always turn on airplane mode whenever I play a demanding game like NFS MW. Just turn off mobile data, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc, and your battery should last longer while playing games.
Is your battery drain when not playing games normal?
Yes its fine while not playing. Just gelt a bit dissapointed with the results after gaming. Well if thats normal, then i have to live with it

Try to play a demanding game on your laptop. See how fast your battery drains then . It's normal.

Now playing 2 races and draining 18% doesn't seem so bad anymore does it?
If you use faux and his app try:
1. Eco mode and under clock(1.134ghz), Under volt
2. GPU 200
3. Turn off data, lower brightness
Those are settings I use got NFS.

Hey guys i have a little problem here, i flashed a few roms over the months and now i flash pacman then my phone starts to run hot then later the same day i flash aokp and it still runs hot.
I don't even have to be doing anything heavy very litght stuff like listening to music or even having the screen on will make my phone run up to 40c or 105f, this has never happened in the past because in the past my phone mostly ran below 31c.

thats not hot. human body temp is 37C, 98.6F. is it warmer around you now then it was before?
It may be caused by the weather. Summer is coming if you live in the northern hemisphere.
I have only experienced the Nexus getting extremely hot when playing certain games that try to establish a constant connection to facebook.
Other than that no heat issues.

I live in Illinois not to far from Chicago and it just hit 90 degrees F a few days ago so its a possibility. But still on these cool nights it gets hot just this morning my phone was at 26c and after sending this message its already past 32c.
Another question is what temps are yall getting after light use with your phones?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If I browse on websites for too long on my N4, it gets hot in the upper left corner of the phone. I'm in Canada and it's not exactly hot here.
In in the UK. Sat outside with light usage and running at 28°C.
Indoors is normal for me to see 32-40° with screen on.
Unless gaming I wouldnt be concerned with battery temps below 45°

[Q] Nexus 7 getting too hot

Hey
I bought my nexus 7 about three days ago and I think I have an issue.
When browsing the internet or watching a movies my nexus can reach 35c and when playing tegra 3/Gameloft games it reaches 39-40c is it normal? Happens to all?
It's little annoying and I can't enjoy these games....
Any ways to solve this problem?
What are you talking about, thats waay to low, my OC-ed nexus 7 can reach upto 70c and about 69c should be the top limit, 50c is usual temp, or atleast it should be when browsing

What the hell? 70 celsius ? you can cook with your NEXUS 7 LOL
How you deal with it?
well you know, undervolt for about -100mv, which is pretty stable, if necessary lower my oc to 1.5 ghz and it never crosses 63-64
sorry if i offend you with this question, but is it possible that you were looking at your battery temp, not cpu?
because usually those temps are from the battery, it seems just too low for almost a high end device (atleast it was)

Yes I mean battery temp
minecraft
I have had the same issues with the heat on my device. I notice it gets pretty warm quick right where the rear camera is and also the glass gets pretty hot too. I been playing minecraft and it heats up quick, I checked the battery temp with an app and it reached to 31C. This was from playing for about 15 minutes. Browsing the net or watching youtube doesn't have much effect but watching a video with the browser did make the device pretty warm. I gotta admit when playing games its pretty uncomfortable.
Even 40c isn't that hot for an electronic device. I remember my old Galaxy S 4G used to get a battery temperature of 52+ while charging and playing guns n glory in a non air conditioned guard house. Every so often I'd stick it in our mini fridge for a few mins to cool it down.
I would've loved to see how hot that poor processor got, but battery temp was the only one you could check on that device.

Camera area gets really hot! Should I worry?

When playing games like Shadowgun online, or streaming live TV through TWC the back camera area gets pretty hot, what's going on? Is that normal or should I be worried?
It is normal.
Just curious but how is your battery life while playing shadowgun

It is where the processor is located. It will get pretty hot after a bunch of use.

Nexus battery life

Hey guys! So after I bought my n4, I thought of testing the battery. After playing for about 1 and a half hours, watching a 45 minute movie and browsing the Web for about one hour or maybe two, it finally died. What do you think of it?

very normal.
battery life will all depend on your setup(rom/kernel/apps), your phone signal, and your personal use. most people see between 2.5 and 4.5 hours, while a few see quite a bit more, 4-7 hours

Yeah its very normal...While consuming heavy multimedia, your n4 is sure to be dead within 3-4 hours...
I played GTA 3 with lowest resolution and it drained 10% of my battery in 20 min!
Guess what would hav happened if i maxed out the performance!!!
