Hot as hell!!

[daso]

Hi all, just booted up my Nexus and love it, but im charging it as I load everything up and it is one hot (literally) piece of equipment!!!!!! I made a call and my ear felt like it was burning. Even the screeen is hot to the touch. Anyone experiencing this? It's like a plasma TV. Everything else is great

I've used it fairly intensively and never felt it all that hot. Is phone in a case or not?
I had a bonic (2 weeks and returned it) and that phone got much hotter than the Nexus.

I don't have one, but the one I checked out at one of the local Verizon stores was quite warm to the touch. I wouldn't call it hot, but it concerned me enough not to buy one.

Not experiencing this. You might have a bad one.

no phone case, loaded all my apps and charged it full.. never got hot.

The only time I noticed it was hot was right after it was activated in the Verizon store and I was leaving, The back of the phone was pretty hot near the top/camera. I think it was because the processor was working very hard due to the fact that all my apps were being downloaded/restored to the phone at once.

Now I don't notice much heat coming from the device.

Been playing with mine for 10 hours today on the wifi and it's not even warm. Great phone.

Years ago I had a Moto Star Tac that would almost blister my cheek when used for more than few minutes at a time. I think that was par for the course with that model. having said that, I played with a Bionic that was pretty darn warm in the store, but even with HEAVY usage, my Bionic never gets very warm. calls, video, you name it, it runs at a decent temp at all times.

Mine was pretty warm yesterday. Today not at all. Only difference today was I wasn't charging the battery on and off and not transferring 5 gig of music. Plus of course no updating to 4.0.2 and not installing some apps.

Same for me as well.

Running it under various loads today. Barely gets warm most of the time. Certainly never anything I would consider hot.

Heavy 4G usage warms her up but not hot.

Yes, it's the radio. Don't worry about it. All of my phones have done this to an extent. Cool as a cucumber on Wi-Fi. Large amounts of data over 3G/4G (especially with a "not so optimal" signal) will create heat.

Mine never got hot like yours. Maybe you got a lemon?

It was right after i activated it as well and had it on the charger. Running cool now. Ill definitely see what happens next. I just got the extended battery and cover for $25 at verizon and will try it again.
