Reddit reviews ICEWRAPS 3x5 Gel Ice Pack Reusable Small Hot Cold Ice Packs for Overheating, Injuries, Pain Relief First Aid (6 Pack)

Someone made a thread here few days ago about their Pixel phone overheating too and what he did was bought these mini ice packs and placed them behind the phoe while using VR and each pack was usable for 30 minutes up to an hour. The thing is VR is still probably a bit too "Beta" product that in future updates these overheating issues wil be things of the past.

I remember back when the most important accessory was an external battery.

Hard to believe I used to be able to walk outside for 6 hours and never have any issues besides battery life.

Nowadays the most important accessory I have to carry with me is cold packs:

Yup, these are the ones I use. They work pretty well, you won't have any overheating problems. The downsides are added weight and initially before the phone warms up sometimes they cool the whole headset too much and the lenses fog up.

I get these and put 'em in the freezer to make sure it doesn't overheat... fits pretty well between the phone and the back plate: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZVI485Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also, wipe finger and face oil off of phones and lenses. Battery should probably be at least 50% depending on amount of usage.

I literally use ice packs, got the idea from a sub on VR. These guys were maxing their devices' capability with VR and within 30 minutes you could fry an egg on the bag of the phone. They suggested using reusable ice packs and so I got these. They only last about 30 minutes before losing effectiveness, as it gets warmer it will probably be worse. But they keep gym battles smooth as needed and for long sessions of transferring trash pokemon and items.

Not the most elegant solution but it won't overheat

I think this is what you want, posting link because there seems to be a language barrier or lost in translation

Shared Solutions (Copaxone's Manufacturer's Organiztion) gave me some free Gel freezer packs. Kind of like these

Or just buy some of these gel packs.

Ice Packs

Also, using external power (battery pack) is one of the biggest gains you'll get.

These solved all my overheating problems. I went 20 min to 2 hours. Type in Gear vr overheating in YouTube for Dave Giudice's video. You'll be happy you did. I am.

>overheating completely ruins it

How to deliberately overheat your phone AKA what to not do

Get something like this.

I've used these both frozen and room temperature. When frozen, I wrap a single paper towel around it in case of condensation. When they're at room temperature, they don't work as well, but still provide a sort of heat sink that wicks away heat from the phone instead of it being insulated.

No problem! These are the ones I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZVI485Y

They're not quite big enough to cover the whole phone, but you really only need them to cover the CPU/GPU area. Also, they remain flexible when frozen, which makes it easy to ensure good contact with the phone.

S6 Edge overheats all the time- but these help- https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Packs-Overheating-Relief-IceWraps/dp/B00ZVI485Y

Yea some apps and games make the phone work pretty hard.

For those of you that have GearVR on the S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, or Note 4 and don't know:

Everyone buys these and they fit perfectly between the front cover and phone and keep it from getting too hot (which is a huge problem after 10 min)

This is what I did, and it worked fine:

Basically just gotta trim out the corners and make sure not to mess up those pegs. I used my dremel but you could probably use a hacksaw or something with patience.

The overheating...isn't good. But I bought some gel packs and they've worked wonders. I keep them in the refrigerator instead of the freezer because I'm afraid of condensation. My longest session so far has been 30-40 minutes with no overheating.

Check out the reviews, everyone is using these things. There's other mods you can do like adding a case fan but I really didn't want to go through all that.

I put a 3x5 Gel Pack in the cover, doesn't solve it but extends my playtime for sure. I keep a couple in the fridge.
