[Q] Overheating with 2d games - HTC One X

I've searched and couldn't find anything related to this problem, so I decided to make a new thread.
I noticed my HOX runs pretty hot (around 50C) when playing 2d games like Final Fantasy Dimension, Dungeon Village etc.
Aparently it runs hotter than playing 3d graphic intensive games like Chaos Ring, and uses more battery too, around 1% per minute.
Anyone else noticed this too? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I noticed this both on Viper room and now on Paranoid Android on my sig.
Thanks for the inputs!

[Q] is any 1 else having this issue?

like when im playing dungeon defenders my phone gets really hot and then the game crashes i know that is an intensive gpu/cpu game but it also happens when im playing asphalt 6 i am in the middle of a race and then the game crashes and the phone is not even hot.
is any1 else having this problem or is my phone defective?
The graphics intensive games give the CPU a workout. I'm guessing its near the top of the phone because that's where the heat comes from. U also have to realize this is a very this device so heat is going to show itself pretty quickly. Mine gets hot during dungeon defenders but its a CPU intensive gam

My phone gets hot just by browsing for like 2hrs.....

Temperature

The temperature of my 1x gets extremely high sometimes, especially when I play games, what is the highest possible safe temperature and at which temperatures is it risky to keep playing? Also, will this be fixed?

Yes.
It might be only placebo effect, but browsing with Dolphin Browser HD heated less One X than stock browser. It might have been only a coincidence and I haven't tested enough to reach conclusions. Yet, other users might confirm or infirm this impression.
This can’t be the normally operating temperature range. When my battery temp gets to 55 Deg C it reports the battery state as “overheat”. This can’t be good...
Ever since I used a custom rom my phone doesn't get any where near as hot, must be something with stock.

I played Riptide GP for a while and topped at ~38 Degrees. Even a 40 Minute Google Maps Navigation with attached Car Charger topped @ around 36-37 Degrees. Perfectly fine for me, tho other Games (or Demos) like Glowball which REALLY stress the GPU and CPU due to its graphics demo category heat up the phone to like 43 Degrees.
Other than that, I dont have any problems. I only start up Glowball for a couple of seconds to show off graphics power, not to do anything scientific in there.
EDIT: And what should I say. My standby time is around 26 Degrees when not in my pocket. In my pocket it goes up to 31-32 degrees, but thats normal since the casing kind of absorbs the heat of your body at some point.
When I surf the web for like 30 Minutes, my device never gets hotter than 34-35 degrees, even in comfy warm surroundings (like my flat).
The heat discribed in that article seems a little intense... Maybe there is a faulty batch with heat issues? The One X sure gets warm, but so did my old Galaxy S2 and on top of all, the old Motorola Milestone which became a rough ear heater when doing calls for more than 40 Minutes.
I had a 60 Minute call with my bro 2 days ago, and my One X just got up to 29 degrees... Dunno whats going on there. I always have temperature sensor apps running the first few weeks after I bought a new device.
>>>>“If the phone is in normal use without playing games or calling for long time, the temperature should be around 37°C or 38°C. But if you use your phone to play games or surfing internet for a long time, it will be normal that the temperature rises to around 55°C.“, official statement from HTC. <<<<
This is the one major gripe I have about the One X. It should not heat up to 50C no matter what. It may be "normal" for the One X, but it's not normal or good in general. I hope the next firmware update addresses this. I've gone through god knows how many phones and the heating issue is by far the worst with this phone. Some surfing and apps running for about 10 minutes should not warrant a jump to 40+ degrees in my opinion...

[Q]Best games for One X regarding battery drain

Soo, I only have one game currently in my One X which is Angry Birds Space but there is just a minor issue with that one..... It drains the battery at the rate of 1% per 1min. For me this seems pretty high.. With my iPad 2 I can play Angry Birds 30min and only lose 3-4% battery, yes it has bigger battery but still.
One X is my first proper fast phone so I really don't have anything to compare it with but it just does not seem right. Is Angry Birds Space somehow using more resources than it should or is the drivers for Tegra just so messed up that it uses all CPU even when not needed?
To the topic then.. Can you guys recommend some games that do not drain battery like hell? Or is it like this with every game?
Yes, HOX CPU consumes alot of power, but i only notice that when running Tegra HD games. Tried Andry bird space one, didn't like it seems like its not optimised for larger screens.
Games i currently have on my phone, Temple Run, Soulcraft THD, Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave. Had others, but can't remember...
I'm running on GSM version with Quad Core, it does drain quicker with Tegra games. I find that turning off auto brightness, and setting screen brightness to the lowest comfortable setting for you game does make the battery last slightly more...
I been playing dude perfect.
It's like angry birds but its basketball related. Shooting hoops with rebounds etc.
I played a good 3 hours and 20 mins before I got the 14% battery warning.

you battery was full? -.-
I drained the battery to 5% in 2 hours of playing Defense Zone HD. And yes the phone was almost at 100% before I started playing. So if you are outside and about to play few hours on your One X, better carry a portable charger with you...
Except the game I have Wifi on around the clock and auto brightness of the screen.

Does your screen get hot while gaming?

I'm currently running Jellybomb 11.0 and I'm not sure if it was like this when I was stock because I've only had the phone for a couple days and flashed this rom on the 2nd day I had it. But does anyone elses screen get hot when they play games? My entire screen doesn't get hot, only towards the top (where the front facing camera is) gets hot after only about 10-15 minutes of playing a game such as NFS and it cools down with in like 5 minutes of closing the game.

Old signature that I still have to change.
Yep my screen gets hot too. I guess its normal.
My screen actually gets colder when I am running graphics intensive games that press my cpu/gpu to its limits. How weird.
I'm running VeNuM ice(if that makes a difference) .. And my screen is actually stays the same while playing graphic intensive games.. Sometimes a little bit warm if I'm playing for a long period of time.. but nowhere near hot.. All normal to me
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
-Galaxy Note II Edition
Seems to only happens when I play NFS. If I play too long it makes the full back hot, but it starts at the "top" of the phone where the camera is.
Hm, well its seems like there's mixed experiences. Makes me a little concerned that my phone gets hot so fast in only a certain area of the screen.
Stock. Some make screen hot, some don't. NFS and spider-man do but the less intensive games don't

Gaming experience of Moto G

Hi guys, i want to ask some questions about this phone, mostly about its gaming experience. I know that this phone has great all-day battery life, and i also know that Moto G is a great gaming smartphone, if not the best, thanks to its Snapdragon 400 and Adreno 305 GPU. And i believe this phone is capable to handle most of graphically demanding games around Google Play Store. But my question is, what's about the battery life of this phone when playing games? I mean, how long can it survive when playing intense games without resting the screen, of course, from the full charge 100%? I'm actually quite interested to get this phone in the near future because it's affordable but amazingly good.

Well, you wont have to worry about the battery life I have played demanding games like mc4 and real racing 3, and the battery is just not going down fast at all. Like i could play mc4 for several hours, and still 30% left. Ofcourse not with the highest screen brightness. But this phone has just an incredible battery life overall. Like i could go with 30% battery in the morning, and in the evening there is still 10% left. So dont worry about the battery, in my opinion it does a great job.

It really depends on the game though. For example Badlands (a 2d game) is absolutely murdering my battery, while games from the Anomaly series that are 3d last longer. But all in all, you can expect to get a solid 3-5 hours of gaming without issue, plus the idle drain is minimal, under normal circumstances, so you can make it back to a charger an hour or two after you get your first low battery warnings.
