This night, I was playing Beach Buggy Blitz and suddently, I began to have graphics glitches. The screen turned kind of violet tinted and was teared apart at the bottom but the game was still playing fine without crashing. So I quit the game and the same problems were present in the Android home screens. Even a complete shutdown and reboot did not had any effect. I thought that my N7 was broken for good.
But, then the screen began flickering between the good and the bad states and finally settled with the normal colors. The N7 never froze while the display was corrupted.
When this occured, I was playing with my N7 inside a leather folio case and I could sense the heat through the case. I then changed the case for a hard shell one with a plastic back and the issue returned after playing a little longer than with the leather case. I finally tried without any case and the problem did not appear although I played for a little less longer.
I had the graphics settings in BBB maxed out and this being a Tegra 3 optimized game, I wonder if this isn't the worst case scenario for the N7 when inside a closed case with a game that sollicit heavily the graphics portion of the ARM chip.
Anyone had similar overheating issues? Should I (again) think about RMAing my tablet or is this just an issue that could affect all Nexus 7 when they are put in the same conditions?
You pretty much answered and solved your own problem.

how long were you playing for man? my goodness, if you play for that long to overheat your device i think it's time you get a PSvita or PS3 lol... I know the tablet has a tegra 3 chip but still, I don't think it's totally meant for a 5 hr game session

It's fine.. just the enclosed case was the issue.
My advice is to only use a case when doing light duties, or your battery will suffer for it.

He would have only had to play for maybe 20-30 minutes to cook the nexus.
I just played for 15 minutes and it made my nexus the hottest I've ever seen...
You need to understand though, unless the device is insulated there is no difference in heat between 30 minutes gaming and 30 hours gaming. Phones/tablets/computers get up to temperature quickly.

If he has his device rooted and ovrclocked that could be he reason why its overheating.. when I play with my device it doesn't get very hot

I played for about 25 minutes when it first happened. The second time, with the hard back case, I played for 10 minutes. My Nexus 7 is rooted but not overclocked, original ROM and kernel. I reverted to a good backup and the problem was still there.
Since it happened, my N7 seems to be more problematic than before. For example, after being charged in the hard back case, I experienced the problem only 2 minutes after I started playing with it. It's as if something has been damaged by the first overheating and now it overheats pretty easily even with less demanding games.
If I can't use a case with my N7 then I must consider it defective. So, I emailed Google for a replacement this morning. Just as I started to enjoy my tablet after a first replacement (screen lift), this happens...

External temperatures can affect overall device temps as well (as in, if your sitting in a meat freezer, your Nexus 7 is very unlikely to overheat, whereas if your sitting outside in 100F weather...)

Yep.
Although OPs nexus seems to be defective if its overheating now in 2 minutes.
Since reaidng this thread a few days ago I decided to try Beach Buggy Blitz and now im hooked on it, my Nexus can handle hours of gameplay in 25c ambient.. wouldn't wana try on a really hot day because it feels really warm already.
I seem to notice more framerate slowdown as the N7 gets hotter, maybe thermal throttling.

I'm not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination. However, I experienced random reboots while I was writing a long email using Swype with my Nexus 7 in the Poetic case. When I looked, the temperature was VERY high as reported by System Tuner. I removed the case, cooled the back of the Nexus, and everything went back to normal. I WAS overclocked, so I went back to a kernel locked to stock speeds. I haven't seen any serious issues since. But it's pretty clear that if you're using a case, the Nexus can't shed heat quickly enough the way it was designed to.
I keep a closer eye on it now.
What models/build, gig and first 3-4 characters of your serial number, do you have?
I had a 16 gig (not sure) that was stayed cool. I exchanged it for a 32 gig (CAOK) and that would gets hot at random times of just usual use. It would get hot on the bottom left quarter of the back. The screen would take a huge percentage of the battery also.
I picked up another 32 gig (C9OK) and this one stays cool under normal usage.
Maybe we can isolate this to a certain model/build.
It was a C7O. I don't remember more than that, sorry. I've posted a video of the problem on Youtube and send that link to Google when asking for an RMA on their site. 90 minutes later, I had a response with all the needed info to return the tablet. On this one, I have to give Google a very positive note:good:.
I received another C7O and this one seems to be defect free. After 3 N7s, I finally started to enjoy my tablet...
same issue
same issue here.
i was playing Final Fantasy (so awesome that SquareENix ported this to Android and iOS... i remember the original version from my NES and it was a hoot. the only FF game i ever played) for about 2 hours or so and toward the end my Nexus 7 tablet got very hot, particularly on the "lower" portion of the device (side with the USB charging/tether port) ... of course, this is held in landscape mode for this game so it was my right hand that was hot.
anyway, just before starting one last awesome boss battle (right up at the Kraken with awesomely-decked out party, damn!) the game hung and the whole tablet froze. no home button functionality, no power button to even turn the screen off or on again.
had to hold power for 10 seconds, full reboot. even when the tablet came back up it was still wonky.
powered off, left it off for a while. it came back up just fine afterward, but the game didn't get to save so i'm back many levels before where i had been. no looking forward to that re-work. ah well, live and learn.
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

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.

Hey all.
Had my N4 since the beginning but recently I'm getting quite an annoying problem.
When on 3G, as soon as I start using the phone, you can feel it getting warm but after about 10 mins of light use, its actually burning hot! It only happens on WiFi though.
I contacted Google and they made me factory reset which had no luck. Now there sending me a brand new N4 to replace it
Anyone had this issue before? I've never had any issues with my N4 before and I've had it since the beginning

It's normal. Under LTE heat is noticeably lower, so use that if you have access.

i love these my n4 gets hot threads..
to start off, what battery and cpu temps does your phone reach? dont say it feels hot, feel isnt an accurate way to measure temp, its not a way to measure temp at all actually. feel will only give you if it feels warmer or cooler the body part you are doing the feeling with. and burning hot i highly doubt, unless your hand is ice cold. so, post your battery and cpu temperatures and we can go from there.
Hello everyone, I bought this phone for second hand on January 2015 and as per the seller it was 1.5 years old, but the problem is the phone gets heated up easily, if I am browsing on chrome and checking Facebook app simultaneously the CPU temperature reaches to 40-45°C + and when I was playing mortal kombat x it even reached 68°C , but the battery temperature doesn't cross 45°C in most cases and remains around 30-40°C , and my doubt, is it common in a country like India where temperature now is around 40°C + , but the battery backup is fine and I get around 4hrs SOT normally with some light gaming, YouTube,Whatsapp, Facebook and browsing.
So is there any fault with my device?

No its a common problem with nexus 4s. i have installed heatsink to my phone with proper good thermal paste.

My phone has been getting really hot even reaching 110 degrees this only using the phone for FB, Tapatalk or G+ is this normal or could be a faulty unit, and also could be this the reason for a not good battery life?

During extended screen on time, like having Hit-it-rich running for 20 minutes
my Moto X Pure reached the temperature of 113
Still stock
The same screen time and app running on the One Plus One -- Reached the temperature of 101.3
The One Plus One is using CM12.1
These are battery temperatures according to the program.
I'm on my second moto x and it definitely runs much cooler than the first which would get to 112 browsing chrome.
I haven't bothered to check this unit as it is that much better.
The only time I noticed mine get hot was when I was installing all my apps. Since then, it's been remarkably cool, even when streaming Rick & Morty HD from Amazon.
It gets hot with Candy Crush...
mine gets warm from charging or just when i have the screen on ...it's always pretty warm, but as far as problems go that is pretty far down on the list
Mine hit 120 degrees F according to Ampere using Waze on the drive home. I use adaptive brightness set at half. I also have an Incipio Case protecting it....although I feel it's only hurting it temp-wise. I'm so on the verge of rooting tonight, but feel I might want to hold off in case I have to return it for lower than wanted battery life and the announcement of the Huawei 6p.
The only time I've noticed it getting warm since initial setup was while making a nandroid backup. I've not been very demanding of it though.
Phone Temperature!!!
Mine gets to 107 when playing heavy 3D games and at same time downloading with LTE beyond ten minutes. Other than that it is barely warm to warm. 80s and mid 90s. Upper 90s with 3d games.
Mine easily gets above 110 when I'm playing clash for a few min. Seems to avg 100 anytime my screen is on. Thinking I might need to swap for another one.

Only time mine got hot was when I tried to play Monster Strike while plugged in..got up to 107 but there was no degradation of performance.
are you guys talking celcius or F!? i sure hope F lol.
right now installing all my apps and charging on my samsung fast charger, it's at 150 F lol..pretty damn hot. i just cut my sim down to a nano sim but i think it cut some of the sim part off ugh..gonna try it..if not, off to verizon to get a card
mine ran 100+ at all times. Texting, tapatalk, facebook, anything it was always hot. Worst call quality, awful heat and battery I had return label printed after a half a day of use. Worst phone ever
∆ Too bad you got a dud. My Pure is great fwiw.

mines getting pretty warm.. what are you guys using to view temp? the one I used says it can't read temp and only figured it out with an algorithm... so idk if it's even legit. but yeah this phone def gets warmer than my note 4. I have a feeling it's just a warm phone overall. when turbo charging it gets really hot when you're using it. I think it's fine though. I'll probably keep mine.

When I returned mine to bestbuy the guy said the Moto X Pure was getting returned like crazy, and it was due to heat issues. He didn't even look at the phone to see if I had unlocked it, which I had. Apparently I was the fourth return that day and it was 2 PM.

Mine gets hot as well. Dk the exact temp but just browsing chrome, playing a game, or watching a Youtube video will make this phone hot. Most likely will return to Motorola this week, it's not much of an upgrade compared to the OPO in my opinion.
