Hi.
While playing games my Xperia Play produces lots of heat. The back of the phone, and the gamepad feels really warm.
I checked the temperature with Battery Monitor Widget and when I don't use the phone it stays around 25-30 degrees Celsius, but when I play games (even 2D ones) it goes up to 38-40.
Is this a normal thing or there's something wrong with my battery ?

I can confirm this happens. Basically it is using more charge, therefore as a side effect of that it produces more heat from the chemical reaction. Same thing when you have it charging.
It isn't horrible, but try not to let it get too hot as it may shorten the lifespan of the battery.
So this is true for all xperia plays that after some time of gaming the phone will be really warm ?
The phone will get warmer, of course... but 40 degrees is not excessively hot. It feels warm in your hand, but it's not dangerous. A dangerous temperature would be close to 50.
The highest temperature that I had was 44 degrees after a long Nova 2 session.
I am a bit worried by the fact that while browsing the net through wifi the battery heats up to 38 degrees, but it's okay as long as it's less than 50 :> ?
Thanks for the help.
I'd say if it goes above 46 or 47 you just switch it off for a while. Not only because you don't want to overheat it, but because running the phone on higher temperatures reduces battery life (higher temperature means higher resistance to conductivity for metals).
Thanks for the into that it's perfectly normal for the phone to feel warm.
Have you ever reached 50(or that 46,47) degrees on Xperia Play or any other phone ? What app made your battery that hot ?

My former phone, the Galaxy S had HUGE issues with temperature while using 3G. Every time I toggled it on, the phone became awfully hot and the battery drain skyrocketed. I got it on 53 degrees once, since it was in my pocket. I was a bit scared, but the phone resisted it. Still, it wasn't pleasant.
The advantage of the Xperia Play being bulky and plasticky is that it's hard to bring it to extreme temperatures. If it's hard to make it hot, it has a positive impact on battery life as well.

Yea, this happens to me all the time. When using anything that drains my battery it heats it up as well.
All batteries release heat as current passes through them. When the phone is idle, the heat released is low enough your hand doesn't feel it. As the current increases while gaming, so does the heat.
It's nothing to worry about. The batteries are designed to handle heat without being damaged.
Especially since android devices are becoming more popular in places like india, where there's a lot of ambient heat.

I want to buy this phone but I see a lot of comments about heating. Are you experiencing this problem?
I experienced it only once in 2 months of use
I had a lg 4x hd. That was heating! i never felt real heating with This one
I have this heating only while playing clash of clans. At normal use, there will be no problem with heating.
I using GT-I9301I . No issues with high temperature for now. Stable device, with very high h/w performance (My opinion).
When you use it really long it becomes slightly warm
My lg 2x was also a pocket heater. Perfect for cold fingers in winter time.
I'm having heat issue. phone heats up to around 100 during normal usage (texting, web browsing, social media) and unsuprisingly gets much hotter during games or youtube, around 105 F. Those temps are from a batter app, and the hotspot on the phone feels like it is up around the dimple. Certainly feels hotter than 105. Not so sure it is the battery causing a majority of the heat .... Still have a few days to return/exchange at best buy, so any advice is appreciated
No restarts due to heat yet. Have rebooted in safe mode, seems somewhat better after watching a 10 min youtube video... Can actually play fallout shelter in safe mode somehow, and the heat isn't as bad in safe mode as it is regularly. Temp stays around 100 F. Any way to see if it is an optimization issue without a factor reset and reinstall?
neglected to mention - this all happens while connected to wifi
Any phone that I've owned that I felt was to hot i exchanged it. It's paid off every time to do so. Good luck.
Mine was very hot
I dropped it off at Fed Ex to send it back a few minutes ago. I liked it a lot, but it was hitting 112 F within 5 minutes of browsing chrome/Facebook/Twitter. I've never had a phone get hot like that, unless I playing a game for an hour, or watching back to back to back videos over the LTE.
I could have exchanged it, but I will wait for the Nexus 5 and then make a decision of if I will order a new one or the Nexus.

So anyone else having this same issue?
To be honest, I've only had the Moto X heat up when I first got the phone and was downloading apps. And even then it didn't get as hot as my M8 did on a regular basis. I am not having any heat issues at all surprisingly.
I'd exchange it! I've used mine constantly even while being charged up by the turbocharger and I've never had it get uncomfortable to hold due to heat. That's browsing & playing games like order & chaos 2
Good morning,
I want to ask about your devices' temperature.
I attach a screenshot of my device's temperature in idle state, light usage.
Every sensors are around 35 degrees Celcius, battery is around 32 degree Celcius.
On surfing Facebook, Instagram, Youtube...etc it can rise to above 60 degrees & battery rises to ~37.5 degree Celcius.
The device is warm, sometimes hot (but not hot to touch) around the area of fingerprint scanner.
Is it normal? Do you experience the same?
My device is a Korean version.

Yes. Actually experiencing the same. This is also a Korean version.
It is not too crazy hot. But I think it does get warm a little to fast for my taste.

Yes, mine branded H870 suffering of extreme overheating issue. I have to turn off the device to let it to cool itself!
Your device has some kind of carrier's brand??
I have also other disappointing issues!

the same issue for me! can't be normal for a top level smartphone :/
I have the T-Mobile variant and it gets warm. But never to hot to touch. The only time it ever gets close to that is when charging in the car. I use the Anker QC 3.0 car charger so I assume that's why it gets warm. Plus the sunlight.
I've had a few glass phones and I've noticed they feel warmer than normal and I can only blame it on the natural heat dispersion that glass has. Whenever glass is warm at all it always feels way hotter than what it is. With the cooling system in place that is why you feel more heat around the fingerprint scanner and on the side of the phone it's just doing its job
Also if you are using a case and you take it off and it's super hot/you feel the heat through the case it's probably because of the case trapping heat in the phone. I almost always charge my phone caseless or with my fan blowing on it since the phone is designed and tested without cases.
Try closing all apps while it charges maybe try a new case? Turn down your brightness or something. If nothing works maybe try a warranty replacement. It's possible your cooling pipe is defective
Snapdragon phones have run too hot for a while now, this one is no exception. It's always warm or hot to the touch, even when it's idle lol.

If it's warm while Idling you have an issue with the phone
Mine too..h870ds..not hot but warms..only doing light activities..surfing web,insta,twttr..is there anything to worry about?the warm feeling arise at the fingerprint scanner and camera part..
Those who are having hot G6 Try wiping Cache in settings-storage and do reboot.
If not Format the entire phone and install apps from playstore NOT from backup you have made

Phone Speaker gets hot when full volume
The only time my phone gets hot is when I listen to music on phone speaker with full volume, for some time. The speaker area gets hot.
Other than that with web browsing, Youtube etc not even warm to touch. (Also I have a case on, if it affects anything)

The speaker will warm up but that's because it maxes out at 4w which is insane for a phone speaker other than that ive played 3d intensive apps and my phone doesnt get above 38-44 degrees Celsius. Love this phone
My phone does never get warm :/

Same issue
If you are still having issues with a warm / hot phone, I'm curious what OS / flavor are you running ? I haven't tried a custom rom yet, I'm still on stock and it takes a lot to get my phone hot.. it's even stuck inside an otterbox which can't help with the heat being cased in plastic lol.
--edit, I ask because I want to move to a custom rom but don't plan on it if it's going to make the phone hot idle !
Always cold.. Even during this hot summer it didn't get above 37....View attachment 4319732

I'm really curious to know, when everyone complaining about warming and heating up u say it barely heats even in summer.
Please let meknow, outta curiosity, i wanna know.
Which country do you live in and by meaning hot summer, how much is the temperature during summer and where do you use your phone like, Air-conditioned environment or under a fan, or just using the phone under the mentioned environment without any ventilation. It'd be more helpful for me to further raise a concern with LG if mine is misbehaving!
Today i am just playing Pubg game with my friend. Suddenly my mobile got hanged! I thought it's just game got struck but it's not the case. I can't go to homescreen hardware buttons are not responding. I called to my phone through other phone but my X dual looks blank with pubg screen and it didn't rang but i can hear the ringing sound from the other phone i called. Then I removed the simslot, i thought phone will restarts but it's just showing the pubg game screen. I don't know what to do now. I plugged the phone for charging. It's not showing any charging indication red light also. Oh God! I didn't faced such issue. I am playing pubg everyday. yesterday also my phone got strucked while playing but i just pressed the home button and it worked. But now, the situation got worse.
I pressed all hardware buttons at once after that my phone got restarted without any problem. About 20 to 30 minutes even after removing the simslot it shown the same pubg game screen! Oh god! I am feeling so happy right now.
I think it's a bug in a pubg game. my friend also encountered the same problem in his moto mobile yesterday only after getting killed by a enemy, but both of our devices responded when we pressed the home button! Today i don't understand why my mobile got hanged up suddenly in the middle of gameplay like that!
Next time, hold down both Power and Volume Up button for about 10 seconds (until you hear 3 short vibrations) and the phone should restart.
X is not a gaming device!
should you be playing pubg make sure your device is rooted and debloated and nothing else is running in background! also make sure the device temperature is in controll! you are going to fry that weak processor SD650 !,
play pubg after removing any book cover or skin! and i may sound little crazy! if device gets heated! put it in a fridge for few mins! let it cool down!

No, it's not what you think actually Pubg is performing way better than you expect. I am playing that game everyday with low graphics even though it looks and performs so great. I am in stock 8.0 OS and i don't play with that cover on. I really didn't faced so much heat playing Pubg even with fan off! I just forcestop every apps and with some necessary apps working in background i still have 1.2 to 1.4gb free RAM everytime!
The only thing I am not getting good is battery performance while playing Pubg! In a hour my mobile will charge definitely 0 to 85 percent! But after the gameplay or watching movies online battery drains faster 100 to 40 in a hour! I just bought this X dual recently about 5 months. So i am getting good battery life only for browsing Internet, watching YouTube vids and other casual use! But for gaming as i said it's drains so fast!
The one thing i do to have a good battery is i don't play games when my mobile reaches 35 percent. Everytime i charge my phone when it hits 35 percent.
