Question about overheating on this device.
If your G2 has ever heated, how did it happen?
What games or apps makes that phone overheat more than usual?
Is it only when brightness is at 100%? Does it happen more quickly or often using 4G?
How long does it take for the phone usually to start getting warm?
Thanks.

Mine overheated while stuck in a bootloop, and since I didn't know the proper hard shutdown procedure (hold the power button one second longer after the display goes blank), it never shut down, and if it had been winter, I could have used my phone as a hand warmer.

When I leave the Nexus 4 on a flat surface with nothing around it, it will randomly turn the screen on, wait the 30 second timer, then turn back off.
I did just install 4.2.2, but I hadn't used it enough before to say if it only started since then.
I'm currently unrooted, though unlocked the bootloader when I first got it so I do plan to root soon, would flashing a custom kernel like franco kernel possibly fix this? Or would this be a problem in the rom or a third party app?
In BetterBatteryStats I saw 2 Kernel Wakelocks that seemed to have a high ammount of wakes.

And here's the BetterBatteryStats Dump File: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dbc2vn3littc0fp/BetterBatteryStats-2013-02-21_054751350.txt
Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks.
Possibly a third party app.

That's normal bro. Mine does the same and so does every other phone I had.

Err I meant like, it keeps turning the screen on and off - like if the charger is disconnecting itself.

Sounds almost like the charger has a short or something.

It does that with all sorts of different cables and chargers. Think I might have a loose USB port?
Maybe it's linked to the Daydream feature?

Not sure, guess it's possible, but even if it is lose I wouldn't expect it to effect it once it starts unless it gets bumped.
Also, what is the temp of the battery when charging? Not sure if it's true but I've heard that if the battery is over 40c it won't charge properly.
If you want, here's a really nice widget with temp on it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
I would just be careful with anything to void your warranty until you figure out whats causing the problem, as I've heard a lot of stories about bad batteries, and shorts in usb causing the red light bug (For lack of a better name).

Thanks for the link. I actually looked through the 'must have apps for the N4' thread under themes and apps, and Goku80 had posted a link to a battery meter that I just downloaded and installed moments ago. I have yet to see what the charge temp is, but I will report back tonight. Idle temp is around 25*c from what I've noticed just now.
The only thing I've noticed with temps so far is when I have my phone pulled in and I'm watching something on the phone. The phone gets really hot, and the system starts to lag badly. I would assume this is a fail-safe for the battery to not overheat by downclocking itself, but this is only a theory.
As for the red light bug, I saw my phone drop from 28% to 4% instantly out of nowhere yesterday, with no warnings. I immediately pulled the phone in, and watched the battery meter jump to 30%. According to the red light threads, I think it's a software issue with the phone shutting down completely when it thinks it's out of battery to prevent damage. Hopefully we'll never run into that issue ourselves.
I'm on a 2 week old AT&T G2 running the official KitKat (via OTA). Today I had an incident where I had torch on (via the Google Play app store, app named Torch written by Santoso Wijaya), then left it to auto turn off. However, apparently either the app or KK has a bug that caused the phone to heat up with the app running in the foreground while both the screen and the camera LED were off. By the time I felt it in my pocket, the phone had become toasty hot, and battery had drained from about 40% to 5% over a span of about an hour, but the phone did not shut itself down. I immediately rebooted it myself.
My question is: is the heat most likely caused by the CPU running at 100%? Is it likely to cause any damage given the scenario? Shouldn't the phone auto shut down to protect itself since it was running so hot (by the way it was *really* hot, like much hotter than the phone ever felt to me, even when I was playing games over LTE etc), or was it still not hot enough for that (which hopefully means it was safe?)?
Thanks for your inputs.
My question is why are you using a torch from play store when the phone has one on stock already, and yes the phone has a feature where if the battery/cpu hit a specific temp it should either a)throttle to cool down or b)auto reboot so I find that strange if you would have know the battery temp I could have told you if test it should have auto rebooted or not

It is probably completely fine. The processors in these phones have safety measures to shut themselves off when they get too hot, and they can also handle VERY hot temperatures. I remember my nexus 4 would get EXTREMELY hot, to the point it hurt to touch sometimes, and it's still doing fine

The only flashlight I could find on my stock AT&T KK is via a widget, which I do not want to use (I want a standalone app that I can launch via lockscreen shortcut etc).
I bought an LG G6 not so long ago. But I have noticed it is getting really warm when using it. It normally hitting 36-41 degrees Celcius, this is so especially when I am using the camera.
Is this the normal temperature for this phone? Are there solutions to this problem?
Thanks for your replies in advance.
I didnt measure but my phone doesnt get hot. In fact S7 and P10 I had before were considerable warm when using with cam and games...P10 even on 4G.....G6 has an advanced cooling system as I heard nad on that part should be better....Do you use any kind of case? It should help at least you wont notice it. Your temps arent so high to damage your phone...
could be you have a rogue app

Yes. The G6 has a more advanced cooling system and non of this should be happening. My worry is that I got a faulty machine and i might regret in the future.
I will get a case and see the difference.. If it persists I will consider returning.
Thanks

I have been monitoring my usage whenever it starts hot and closed some of the apps that were just running idle and nothing. I also did a factory reset and that did not help as well.
What is your cell signal strength and what radios (GPS? WiFi? Bluetooth? Cellular?) are you using when you get lots of heat?
It may be that you are pumping lots of energy into maintaining a weak connection over LTE, while using GPS and bluetooth. In such situation, you could get warm even if you aren't doing anything CPU/GPU intensive, even with screen off.

sounds like it could be faulty my lg g6 never gets warm unless its working really heard ie installing tons of stuff
Not a problem unless a message pops up saying it's too hot and it must dim your screen. Never had that on my G6 even in direct sunlight or doing VR.
Idk mine never gone to more than 38 degrees... And that was when temperure here in my ****ry were like 40 outside... So actually that is what i like about the phone that it is always cool ? currently @ 25, average 30, max. 34. Soo that's dope for me.

my g6 H871 is not hot but it show warning high temperature detected powering off device how to disable this thing
I've had my LG G6 and its been fine for some time untill one day I decided to unplug it from its charger and all the sudden my phone freeze up and glitches then restarted its self.
Ever since then my phone has been having over heagibg issues, reaching 38C before I turn off my phone.
Before I turn my phone in into LG, do you think my battery temp is normal?
Battery 37C
CPU 37C
Not a battery issue. More likely software or maybe hardware. If it was battery your back glass be flexed out and maybe crack.
Try clean flash to stock and test.

Not battery.
Something is running and discharging the battery.
What were the last apps you installed?
Boot into "safe mode" and see what happens.

Im pretty positive its not an app, I just reset my phone and still getting high temps both on battery and cpu.
I think im just going to send it in.
Hi all,
Anyone facing heating issue in nothing phone while charging my phone is reaching around 43 c. Is this normal?
i had 3 nothing phones here. All of them heat up during charge. So i guess its normal. But it also got my attention.
I think that could harm the battery over time :/
Rapid?
Normal.

Yeah even with nothing charger phone is getting hot I saw some tweets. For long run it will affect I think so wait for further ota updates. Even I thought to replace the phone but end result will be same

yeah it will make no difference.
I wait for Paranoid Android Build. I will switch instantly and i hope it will iron out all known issues.

In normal usage even I don't feel any heating issue but while charging it was quite obvious and main reason is aluminium frame in sides so easy noticeable and by the way which charger are you using and your temp during charging?
Not facing any heating issue in normal usage or on charging, it only gets warm but not to a point where it felt hot not enough to say the heating issue is there. Not a mobile gamer but I tried 2 arcade matches of pubg mobile(smooth and max frame rate setting) in 25 mins of game session device barely felt hot but what was noticeable is upper side frame was warmer than the lower half.
With an aluminum frame, I was expecting equal distribution of heat on all sides of the frame.
Mine gets hot when fast charging with NP brick. The phone stays cool when slow charging or normal use.
