Hi Krzysztof,

this problem affect me too.
My Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition (with Arale r4 installed) have overheating 
when I use it for 10 or 15 minute in YouTube or similar websites.
The same thing happen when I'm on a call for 10 minutes or more. The 
phone burning at the top.

I see that the top of the phone it's more subjected to overheat, because 
in this part there's CPU and GPU and both use the aluminium frame as a 
dissipator (you can see it in YouTube, in a video that show you how to 
disassembling the phone).
Right now i'm using a plastic (transparent) back cover that permit the 
dissipation at the top and bottom of the phone.

I don't know in case of high temperature whats happen, I think there is 
an automatic shutdown, like a pc.

You have opened a bug for this overheat problem?


Best regards,

Marco Graziotti
