Nexus screen heating up?

[vicorama]

Does this happen to any of you other proud galaxy nexus owners? I'm still on stock ICS. And after using my phone I feel the screen is heating up. Is that normal?

I think its normal. Happens to me.

My Nexus tends to get very hot around the ear piece area, usually when I'm browsing the internet for even a few minutes. May be normal, but it's also somewhat annoying.

Yes it does get hot.

Normal. I had mine in a bag with the screen off all day in a weak signal area and it was warm from fighting to get a signal.

This is to be expected from 3G/4G smartphones. The antennas themselves are getting hot from network activity, and in turn heating up surrounding components. They even heat the phone up more than the CPU does. Best defense is to use Wifi when indoors.
