Just about any of them, or playing video, or really using the device in Gear VR mode at all. I generally started getting the cool-down-please warnings after about a half hour of use, regardless of what apps I was running.

Source: I have an S6 and Gear VR.

It becomes even more of a problem when placed into an enclosure that mostly traps the head of your head and the phone itself.
