I was too, I had to actually go outside. can you believe that?! making me walk around OUTSIDE! :crying:
but no really I did have to step outside, it relies only on the GPS signal and wont use 4g or WiFi to figure out your location.

initial install/setup heat was odd but it's temporary, once youre up and running it cools down quite a bit.
Since i activated 2D Gpu acceleration in developer options, i have an ice block. It barely gets warmer than my skin. During charging it gets warm, but not hot.
I'm often having it thermal throttle actually, but one thing needs to be said: it's really hot outside.
Used it as a constantly on Gps under the sun (40C, on a motorcycle) in a biiig rubber cover and once the job was done, it was throttled back to stone age. I actually took the batttery out for a while because i got scared it wouldn't revert to being snappy as supposed.
Of course this is an extreme use scenario: phone did not switch off by itself, and kept working: it just took 5 seconds to get from normal camera to fishe....i mean wide lens

Nice, might try that. I imagine battery time gets better too or?

Thanks for the info, i activated it immediately! Hope you get better soon! Man flues are the worse
I just picked up a G5 on Monday after my Nexus 4 finally bit the dust. The N4 got super super hot after the screen was on for a while, to the point where it seriously lagged out and I had to put it down for a bit and cool off. Doing the same things with the G5 and it is barely noticeable. It's gets a little warm, but not screaming hot like the N4 did. I'm happy with it.
It doesnt get hot , its really comfortable to play but i give -1 on this one because its from throttling caused during the game , Antutu benchmark is also the prouf , 2nd 3d test (Garden) is lower than any other phone with snap 820. I would trade some extra heat for more stable performance!
Love the G5. Mine doesn't get that hot. Just the normal hot temp. Love the camera, the performance, the spare battery with battery kit, also a spare of antenna modules (LG Camplus).
Only little bit warm
My G5 ist even under heavy load + charging a little bit warm, instead my Iphone 4S was like too hot to even touch it.

Mine gets warm to the touch when i have the screen on max brightness watching youtube over cellular + bt headphones. I have a feeling a lot of it is coming from the radios, especially the cellular antenna. Also, anything that tends to force itself to run in the background such as live wallpapers will keep the phone from going in to deep sleep. I had a one that switched wallpapers as you swipe from homescreen to homescreen, and my phone would get hot and stay hot even when it was in my pocket. The least things that you set to ignore the power management in the phone, the better.
I agree with brightness part. When I have it all the way up and doing heavy usage things, hot potato! Bring brightness down to half point with heavy usage and ice pack.
No heat problem
Compared to the LG G4 its running very cool ^^. Love the snappy 820!

I've had some major issues lately with it overheating when playing Pokemon Go. The throttling hits and the entire phone is a slideshow... dread to think what would happen if I lived in tropical temperatures.
Now a days get hot randomly ,dont know whats the isssue is,also the battery life is pathetic.
Battery charge getting converted to heat!!!!

Hello my friend,
Would you be so kind of uploading a screencapture of the way you set up your GPU settings?
Thanks in advance.
