Hi everyone,
I'm planning on buying a new phone my budget is not limited but OnePlus 2 checks all the boxes I need in a smart phone? I'm pretty excited to get this phone however when I went online on GSMArena a lot of people were reporting overheating issues and freezing of the phone. Can anyone tell me if the phone overheats on latest stock OTA as of 14th Feb because I really want to buy this phone in the coming 2 or 3 days.
Thanks.
No. With stock thermal file you could have poor performance on HQ games after a while. If you changed it you can avoid the a57 cores to turn off or under clock a lot. I play real racing 3 30m+ without underclocking (for temp reasons) 100mhz. With stock freqs for more than 30m+ ( I don't continue playing so I don't know how many it will take to underclock). I use thermal extreme file with 3°+. Of course it gets hot. But no problem for me, all phones gets hot while gaming or under heavy tasks, I can live with that. My nexus 5 gets hotter and quicker. Also I played vainglory for almost 2 hours and no undercloking either.

You should be fine I've had this phone for about two months and id say at best it gets warm when gaming the only time its ever got hot was when i was in a very hot room with the sun light hitting the phone but i was playing a driving game for 1 hour plus at this point so fair enough that it did get hot.
But id say 100% of the time when im not gaming it never gets hot im on stock 2.2.0
For just going on facebook and normal apps it never gets warm even most games it only gets sightly warm at best unless your really hamming it for a long time it will never get hot. you'll be fine for £289 you really can't go wrong i love this phone once MM is out and full dev support it out going to get even better!

Hey guys, can you do me a favour ? I wanna check my heat levels, tell me a game that you play that is graphics intensive and free (or install and try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nbHUuZXdhcnJpb3JzMiJd ) and tell me if your tablet heats up much. that game i just linked heats up a fair amount at the bottom left of the back, wondering if that's normal, thanks
I've been using Dead Trigger and Real Racing 2 HD for the last few weeks and yeah, it does get pretty warm in the corner. I've not thought about it much though because my Xperia Arc gets at least twice at hot next to the camera when just using it normally, and never had any problems with it.
Don't worry about it every device gets warm when it's being used, especially when it's really working the processor
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.

Just got myself a Nexus 7 with 3G and Wifi about 3 weeks ago. Overall this is a great tablet and I love it. But playing games on this device will make it heats up quite abit on the back left bottom corner. I knw that every devices nowadays will heat up when playing games, surfing the web or even using mobile data.
And I was wondering, do any of you guys still play games on it when the device gets warm or in between warm or hot? I feel a lil disappointed because the Nexus 7's gaming experience and performance was good but the only downside is it gets warm in about 15 mins and and gets warmer at 30 mins of playing games ( high end games like Dead Trigger etc. ). And it's a pity that I cannot enjoy longer hours of gaming on this device ( which is 1 of the reasons I bought it ).
And also I wanted to ask, can anyone pls tell me how warm or hot is your device when playing games? What I mean was let's say I was playing a high end game and the temperature of the tablet is around 50 c. To me, I might feel that it's a little too hot but to others, they might feel that it's just warm. Would greatly appreciate all of your answers and advises.
Thank you.
I've underclocked my Nexus 7.. Together with GPU and frequencies voltages reduced. No heat issues after that.

Thanks for the reply man. How can I underclocked it? Do I need to root it?
Yes. Root it. Flash a custom kernel.

Should be just fine, 50c is not that high IMO.
I've had my new phone for almost two weeks now and noticed that it runs uncomfortably warm. I noticed this right at the start in fact, a few minutes after I first turned it on, but as the built-in apps updated themselves I knew that would heat it up. It still got warm afterwards though, even before I installed my usual apps and transferred my data to it. Just having it switched on and fiddling about with the built-in apps was enough to make it heat up significantly after about 10 minutes use.
I then installed Battery Circle which reported a toasty 43 degrees centigrade. This seems rather too hot for comfort and the battery drain is quite significant - it dropped from 100% to 75% in just under two hours of use (not totally continuous) of web browsing, BBC and Facebook apps etc so I wonder, is there a hardware problem with my phone or if it's just the 808 chipset that's prone to running hot and hence normal for this model? Overall battery life even with moderate use isn't exactly fantastic, either and rather worse than my old Moto G (2014).
I did Google it, but couldn't find anything conclusive, even on XDA, with quite a lot of people seeing this issue and an equal number not seeing it, so can anyone shed some light on it? Is the upcoming Marshmallow update with its improved power management likely to alleviate it?
Although I like the phone and the performance is very good, I might just return it because of this issue and get a different phone. Prerequisites are stereo speakers and a minimum of 2GB RAM for smooth, stutter-free operation, everything else is not so critical. Any suggestions for alternatives? I paid about £350 for it off Amazon and would like to spend about the same on a possible replacement.
Same here, just browsing internet for 10 minutes, and phone turns noticeable hot.
Android 6.0 installed yesterday, same hot issue in the new ROM ( bootloader locked, ROM stock, recovery Stock)
Purchased in Amazon (399 + tax)

I own MXS XT1572 (Indian dual sim variant) and it does not get as hot as you say... but yes, after 1 hour of internet browsing it does get hot enough to feel uncomfortable in hand. 10 minutes is something I noticed in one of my friend's Moto X Pure... and another friend has no issue with his moto x pure...
So maybe yes it can be a problem with half of the devices...
Well, good thing about 6.0 update is: temp is about 10degrees cooler from lollipop. I been doing the exact same thing and noticed the change. Pretty much constant gaming with full gpu use. Must be updated kernel or gpu. I'm hoping devs can look into this and come up with a rom/kernel to tweak these settings little bit more to make this device solid and put heating issue to bed.

That's great news.
Been using it over the last couple of days in this colder winter weather without it getting excessively warm. It looks like it's quite sensitive to the ambient temperature, so I wouldn't be surprised if it suffered thermal runaway on a really hot day and burned itself out.
Do you people recommends to send this phone to warranty with this issue?
Just using Chrome for 5 minutes and battery show 42 degrees (celcius) , i dont remember any other app doing the same thing
Thanks in advance

Do you have a new phone? You sen the old one to RMA ?

I was running the battery dead out-of-the-box due to Google shovelware. Disabling as many Google apps as possible and using a browser with an ad blocker has me ending the day at 45%. If you have any ad spewing apps, get rid of them too. Buy or find ad-free versions of your apps.
As the title says, my phone gets hot really easily with simple usage. Today I was just changing my ring tones and notifications sounds and it became warm (not that hot) where it shouldn't have, with such light usage. And then I played a game for about 10 minutes and the device got hot and was untouchable. The game and UI started to lag too.
This is my replacement phone, the first phone did the same. But I think this one is worse.
During normal usage it does get hot (very uncomfortable), but it won't lag.
My phone is always above 40-42C.
Is it due to my climate?
Or should I get another replacement.
Please help me on this, I can't really figure out if it's the phone or me getting defective devices.

I had the same problem when it was summer where I am. The SD810 is terrible when it comes to heating up, and the lag you experienced is due to the chip throttling back from the heat. Is it hot weather where you are?

The weather is indeed hot nowadays. But the problem is, if the phone heats so much on simple usage, then what is the purpose of owning this smartphone..? :| I'm really disappointed considering I changed my previous device cos of overheating (Note 4).
What's confusing me is, some reviews/reports say this phone is cooler than the S6 /Edge. But my friend has one and it doesn't heat this much at all.
My dad's 6S Plus runs insanely cool (compared to my 6P).
Should I go for another repair/replacement? I've already wasted 1 month waiting for a replacement.
Everything else is amazing on this phone (except the DAC of course) .
Edit: the battery is also disappointing(like 4:30 to 5:00 average). I guess it's due to the phone heating up quickly.

Didn't you research this phone and its chipset before buying? The SD810 is well known for this. I think most reports that say the phone runs cool were written just after release, which was just as the North American winter was taking hold. You could try getting a replacement but I'm fairly confident that this is a problem with the chip.

I chose this phone over the Note 5. I heard there's absolutely no heating issues with the Nexus 6P and the 810 is implemented well in this phone.
My MacBook Pro started to heat much more than it did a few months ago too. But I can't confirm it's because of the weather because it might be some new software I installed or anything.
But the thing that bugs me is, even Yureka, a budget phone, which is known as a heater, heats only like my Nexus 6P or maybe sometimes it's even better at handling heat.
My display is very very yellow too.
This phone is literally the hottest phone ever!
Two minutes of web browsing and the upper portion would have already gotten quite warm.
I think it's getting worse lately, maybe because of the aging of the thermal compound.

Agree. I think the aging of the thermal compound is def going to make thermal throttling worse over time. Plus the thermal compound they used is absolute crap. It had a marshmallow like texture. For those able, I'd consider doing the thermal hard mod posted here. Even if instead of the thermal pad you just replace the crap thermal compound with good stuff. The phone is not nearly as difficult to disassemble and some make it out to be.
You've got a Nexus, go ahead and get your root. Custom kernels like EX do pretty well with excess heat management.
EX kicks in an optional hexacore mode just in case your phone gets mad on heat (generally while charging).
Custom kernels are great in that respect.
