Has anyone had any problems with the phone getting hot while in use or charging? I imagine with a octo-core processor it might get hot. thanks.

When I charge mine, yeah, it does get warm but not too hot. With all the great specs and the size of the phone in regards to being so slim, yeah, it does get a bit warm while charging and then does get hot, but not too hot, when playing certain games on it. But besides all of that, even when it does get warm, I havent a problem at all in regards to any issues with it

If it gets too hot for you then you can just buy a case. I got mine for three bucks!

I have this phone and I love it. However, it does get very hot all the time. It only cools down when it is in the locked mode. I don't really see this as an issue though, but it does bother me sometimes.

No. I have not had any issue with the device overheating and I run with it in 100+ degree temps.

My Moto X stays right in the goldilocks zone. Between 60 and 80 degrees measured on GSam Battery Monitor. Heat is the biggest factor to kill/shorten battery life.

I think it depends on the charger that you use, but from time to time it will get hot, but not hot enough and often enough that I worry about it. Gets the same temperature when I charge my Nexus 4, Nexus 7, or Nokia Lumia 920 that have Qi built-in.

Beatritz: You probaly received a defective phone. My GNote does run a tiny bit hotter than other smartphones do, however, the hottest it ever ran was 85 degrees F. (It usually is below 60 degrees F or lower). The GNote just gets a little hotter I think because the battery is so HUGE.Hope you find the perfect phone for you.If anyone wants to add to this discussion, please feel free to do so.Regards,Daisy S

I have not had an issue with this unit overheating. I have taken it from NYC to London, to Sri Lanka to Malaysia, and no problems. It works fine and charges my phone over and over again before having to recharge the Universal External Unit.

No! The case gets extremely hot and you are lucky if you get 10% extra battery life. I returned mine for a full refund.

Hi Marie. With my phone I haven't had those kind of issues. The only problem I've faced is that the battery seems to last a lot less now (understandable, given the fact that the cellphone is a little old now) Did you try using another charger, cable or even a computer? If so, and the problem persists, it could be: 1. the battery or 2. the actual port of the phone. For #1 I've seen some batteries not that expensive in Amazon, but again, if the problem is #2 you may want to look for a technician or start searching for another phone. These things are sturdy, but unfortunately, nothing nowadays is designed to last more than 2-3 years. I'm sorry if I can't be more helpful. Bye.

Great Question! The phone and case have become warm when the phone is in heavy use. When I notice this, I close all the apps I'm not using but are still running in the background. And this begins to cool it down. Personally, I also use this as a sign that I've been on my phone for a bit too long, so I set it down. The phone and case cool down quite quickly when I take these steps.

My phone doesn't get hot in it. If you're a heavy internet user (like streaming media) that causes any phone to get hot.

Mine is hot too since I started to use it. I have to unplug it when I don't use it.

It recommends not charging with a cover or case due to the phone needing to be very close to the pad for it to charge. Any more distance than just a few millimeters will prevent charging. I use my case with no problems, but it is very thin. Also, heat retention with a case could possibly be an issue too as the phone does get warm during charging. Hope this helps.

It depends on the charger base you have. I have the kool puck and my phone does not get very warm. My phone also has a water proof case on it by Sedio. Every thing works great. I am sure my phone would get warmer if it did not have a case on it. But you will like the whole qi charging thing, it is slick.

I never got hot with mine, unless it was (like Matthew said) heating the battery up for other reasons. Sitting near a window, heat duct, etc while charging. Otherwise i never got hot using the Nokia Qi puck.

I have purchased about 5 of these with the i5 and have no issues with them getting hot on the bottom. Realize that I purchased all of the New. Good Luck
