Hey guys, was just wondering how fast do ya lumias heat up?
I've just been browsing the web for app 20-30mins and it heats up like a BBQ grill. Even when I play games it heats up really fast.

For example, just last night I managed to play 2-3 matches of RealSoccer and my phone was heating up like crazy. Had to shut it down for awhile in order for it to cool off.

Depends on your surroundings also. True that it heats up fast on 3G and gaming, like, in 10-15 minutes, but the heating up is less significant when im in an aircond room. When play Asphalt, only 10 minutes heat up like crazy...
On wifi it is only mildly warm.

Thanks for the info mate
Btw, does the portico update improves this heating issue?

beware, shutdown let it cool. last time my CPU heat toasted the radio (network signal all gone).

now, i will turn to flight mode while playing games (max can go up to 30min) my previous smartphone can let me play about 1hr games still doesn't overheat.

no wonder, no rebate 200 for this lumia 920 bceause not a smartphone. its a overheat phone!!

Havent heard of that regarding portico and heat production.

Nowadays overheating is common - even laptops. There manufacturers dont care because the country of origin, like Dell is USA, HTC is taiwan, Nokia is finland, etc, this overheating issue isnt that bad there because their weather is cool, but the main blame goes to the manufacturer of the internals and chips like Qualcomm. Phone getting hot is common in most flagship smartphones, and i believe Samsung using 'cheap, weak, thin' plastic is one of their mehods to improve heat expulsion. My laptop heat up like crazy in a room with no aircond in the afternoon, now i go for aluminium build ones by Asus.

shouldnt overheat.

I have few dell no such issue.
Asus Zenbook no such issue
Even samsung Note 2 with quad core processor no such issue.

maybe could be the material windows phone is using strong polycarbonate get the heat trapped

from youtube reports, the heatsink of the cpu is too thin, thus not able to dissipate heat quick enough.

adding another extra layer of heatsink solved this issue as what has been seen in numerous D.I.Y. by users.

any link for the youtube reports?

I've got quite a bunch of friends who uses the S3 & Note 2 and no complains regarding heat at all. My gf uses an S3 and she plays candy crush non-stop and still her phone's able to avoid coming up with a fever.

However, on the other hand, besides the plastic material, it should also be because of the game, since its graphics & all ain't on the same level as those 3D xbox games I'm playing on my lumia. Hence, tends to heat the phone up faster.

The only game that makes my phone heat up like crazy so far is asphalt; other games in my phone, only slight warm

cant remember them, it was a while ago, but here is one clip where the user replace the heat sink;

now dah tadak. just search it at nokia market but US region, no matching apps.

maybe they withdrew for some fix?? wait for another day or 2.

Guys i just receive my phone from nokia care. They take 1 month to repair my phone. Is there any way to restore my data from skydrive without restoring it on hard reset as it uses mobile data.

And oso is there any nokia store in penang that accept the rm150 pre order voucher.

Thx in advance
