I just received my SGS2 this afternoon and I've noticed it getting uncomfortably hot.
All I've done is root the phone, install a few apps and just general exploring/messing around.
The screen is getting very hot, the top half especially.
So is the back of the phone, again the top half mostly and especially the part just to the right of the camera lens.
Any hotter than this and I would be seriously concerned...
Anyone else?

HI there
I have the galaxy S2 for few days. Today this afternoon, I also experience the same thing. It get so hot (i can really feel it) and the battery is drained to around 20 % in just about 40 mins. The phone is charge twice.
During the hot time i did
- The battery was around 80%.
- Wifi is on
- facebook app is on.
- the phone was in a sleeve all time and i have not use it at all.
the phone become really got until i restart and close all apps.
I look at the battery usage... the graph was on peak for few hrs (not sure how)
media usage is 28% the rest are below 20%
anyone share words of wisdom? defected phone?
Mine has been pretty cool for the most part. It started to toast my fingers around the back where the camera lens is after dicking around on Angry Birds for 15 minutes but aside from that, no problems with heat.

battery drain faster (alot)?
can you guys post temperature numbers? can pull those from dmesg log, or OS monitor, or system panel, etc.
anything higher than 40C is not the best.

Or more likely, defective facebook lol.
Either way, the hardware has built in overheating protection as it will shut down automatically. Heat is generally no problem - electronics is used to being toasty. My 3Gs can get hot as hell after a surfing session or movie watching, still going strong (or warm), haha.

After being on standby for over an hour, OS Monitor reports (under the battery section, no other section reports temperature) that the phone was 36C, after a few mins of playing this jumped up to 41C then back to a stable 39C.
If the phone (do we still call these things phones?!) gets overly hot again, I will check the temperature and report it here...
Edit: Now that I've taken it off charge, its gone down to 25C
I would check your wifi network. That sounds like a typical scenario when the phone starts to lose wifi and kicks into 3G and back and forth repeatedly. It's trying to get and keep a connection.
I don't have my SGSII yet, but I do have a blind spot in my wifi network that ironically is also the area of the worst 3G coverage in the house. Every phone I've owned will do something similar on occasion.
I also have this issue.
I was playing Angry Birds for about 20 mins and the phone was getting so hot.
Is this safe or should I be concerned?

Over the past month and a half that I have had an atrix I have noticed that my atrix has burnt me several times. I have it in my pocket and it just gets really hot. It doesnt seem to be the battery as the entire phone is very hot. This has been happening even before I rooted my phone. It burns me through the otter box. Im reluctant to take this back to at&t as i would have to unroot it. Are other people having this issue?
If its ridiculously hot, as it seems it is, thats not normal and you should return it ASAP. Also rooting would not affect heat output in any way.
One, wrong section.
Check a taskmanager when it starts running hot. Find out what is pulling so much processor load to create the heat.
I had this problem, took it back for replacement, then had the same problem on the new device. It turned out it was the Exchange sync causing the Motorola.services process to run constantly and kill the battery.
I solved it by changing the Exchange sync from push to every 15 minutes. I also do not use any sync with Google (mail, contacts, or calendar). My battery life is unbelievable now and the device stays cool 90% of the time.
Wasn't crossposting restricted in this forum?
Ha. Excessive heat. Buddy at least your phone doesn't have a aluminum battery door. Try touching that when your phone is being overclocked @ 1.5 ghz.
But essentially something that is syncing often is causing your phone to use the radio alot. And since its in your pocket there really isn't any airflow to cool it down hense the phone will generate heat.

Hi all!
I hope my post will help other people like myself that ware looking for information regarding this issue:
I installed TempMonitor and followed the teperateure of the device. There are 2 temperatures to measure: CPU and battery.
I will elaborate my findings:
1. CPU temp at rest without sync (push mail turned off) is 28-31C after a while (depends on the room temp).
In slight effort the CPU temp can get close to 50C but normaly is ~40-45C
It seems like the CPU temp is not that important and only when the CPU is running hot for ~10 minutes you feel the heat and it starts to get annoying. Notice that in this point a lot of battery juice is drawn.
2. Battery temp is also ~28C at rest. It gets up to 35C on ongoing effort. Since it is very large (1920mAh), you will feel the heat. I think that the battery is the main heat factor in the device and the CPU and graphic engine running in addition to the battery getting hot will cause the entire device to feel warm or even hot.
3. I noticed that at the beginning, one corner of the device (lower right) got REALLY hot and REALLY annoying at times. After 2 weeks, the heat spread became more bearable. I think it has something to do with the battery "setteling in".
4. Running apps that constantly check for updates and even push gmail, will cause your phone to run 1-2 degrees hotter and the more apps you add the hotter the phone will get at the resting state. Hence, when starting other apps it will get hotter and faster. even PowerControlPlus which is a very simple widget gets the deviec ~1 degree hotter on idle.
5. As the battery gets drained, it emits more heat. Try to charge your phones and not run battery draining apps when the battery is less than 30% or even 40% full.
I will comfort you all by telling you that I have a few friends with Galaxy S and Vibrants and their devices get hot too. A bit less on normal use like browsing but pretty much the same on 3D games and such.
I hope I helped because I was really frustrated by it for the first 2 weeks. I hope it will keep improving. I also purchased a case and hopefully it will help with the heat spreading around the phone - will update.
Please install Watchdog from the market to check if a process is acting crazy.
In my case it was 'Android media process' which ate 50% of all the processing power. There was not much of a performance drop since it occupied just one core.
Anyway Watchdog will give you an alert in case a process exceeds a certain percentage and from there you can google the problem or uninstall the app which is causing problems.
My Atrix 4G displayed a temperature of 37 degrees celsius. The highest till now I have seen. Could be higher though.
Its a dual core processor stop worrying about heat unless its hotter then 50c

My Atrix has reached temperatures of 70 Degrees Celcius...
@OP: I think ur safe.
how you turn off the push email? someone can indicate your configuration? thx

When watching youtube I reach 42 degrees celcius in the battery and it literally burns my hand. Would maybe return it if I hadn't ordered it from Canada.

thats because aluminium is a conducter which will let the heat out. plastic keeps it in. so if its hot i wonder why? xD

I'm having the same issue, but it's only coming from the bottom half of my atrix, and only since I installed a new LCD. I'm actually worried the heat will destroy my mem card and sim.
I've ordered a new LCD now, so hopefully that'll sort it out.
It's probably just apps constantly eating cpu. My problem is with the laptop dock though. The battery in it gets way too hot. It's the first piece of electronics I've had that actually made me reflex my hand away from the heat.

I've been noticing a good amount of heat up by the camera during moderate use. I thought this was a CM7 problem since I had been on it since day 1, but I am now on UnNamed and the problem persists. After some googling it does seem that many other people are having this problem. Not on WIFI, and not in a poor signal area either. Just wanted to see if anyone had any leads as to the cause. What is a good app for monitoring CPU usage by app?
Yes, it may get a little hot but it isn't something to worry about as far as I know. I've gamed for three hours straight and not had any problems except for a low battery life!
yeah mine gets hot near the camera during use but i dont think its a problem
I use a battery monitor.
From what I've read, it will shut off for protection. I've heard that as long as it doesn't ever get too much above 130 F, you should be OK.
Now if it constantly stays high, there may be a problem. Mine stays around 80 F most of the time and the highest I've ever seen is 99 F but i don't game much or use my camera. One thing you don't wanna do is charge it while hd gaming or charge it in a hot car. My infuse reached 146 F one time doing that.

Somehow 'Words with Friends' caused my phone to really warm up a lot. More so than I've seen with any other situation and on numerous occasions. Luckily I suck at that game and uninstalled it...

When I first got CM7 running on this thing, I tore through the market installing the apps I'm used to. When I was finished, I noticed that it was indeed a bit warm in the area you described. It wasn't hot enough to cause discomfort, just warm enough to note.
I notice when my phone gets hot in that area when it is around 30% remaining and I charge it. I also notice that when it is charging, it really isn't charging but battery is draining. When I got home and charged it at 30%, I left it sitting there for about 30 minutes and when I checked the phone again, it was at 25%. GPS and wifi was turned off. I decided to power down the phone and remove the battery for 5 minutes. I started working fine after that. I noticed it getting hot again today when I plugged it in to charge at 40% but this time it actually was charging. I am running stock rom but rooted. Should this be a concern?
Seems as though a lot of people are having a variation of this problem. Hopefully it is addressed soon.
The CPU will always get a bit warm if it's running.
If it's getting very hot when the screen is off, you've probably got some background task wakelocking the phone.
My phone's screen gets pretty hot when I run web videos/flash videos on HSPA.
Runs a tiny bit warm when i'm running pristine 3D Tegra games on it...otherwise no.
The bottom right side of my NT heats up during normal use. Also the battery seems to discharge really fast? Is this normal or am I being paranoid. My previous NT overheated really bad once so I excahnged it.
I have been using it for about 30 minutes now after a full charge and its at 90% charge left.

Is it possible you have a run away app that's eating up CPU cycles? Check your battery history and see if something sticks out.

I have noticed the battery getting warm, but it's usually when I've been browsing for a while. It doesn't feel super hot (like my laptop does) but it's warm. I haven't noticed terrible battery life. If I let it sit idle, it goes to about 50% in 8 hours time. If this is an issue, I want to know about it. I'll have to restore it to factory settings and whatnot, but I don't want a faulty device.

No its normal and is because deep sleep doesn't work, hopefully once CM9 gets released deep sleep be fixed.

There were a number of posts from people who were seeing high battery temps after skipping the OOBE. Did those of you having problems in this thread skip OOBE, uninstall B&N apps yourself, and/or use compromise the B&N applications/services in any way?
Just got mine. I noticed that it does get warm but not too warm to cause panic. Mobile phones start getting warm too if you've been browsing over wifi for a while. Are most people running frosty nooks? Should it not feel even a little warm?
Or maybe you can rate the amount of heat, say from 1-10 how hot does yours get?
My rooted nook gets hot while playing Exitium for half an hour, but not when it's idling.
Not I
I use my Nook tablet quite extensively and I don't seem to feel an unusual amount of heat coming from it. 30 minutes of use and down to 90% is not unusual either. Otherwise, I would have to agree that there is probably an app running your CPU full tilt. Probably not your battery that is heating up either, if you look at the pictures of these pulled apart, you would see that if the battery was what was getting warm, it would be almost the whole back of your NT.

I was actually thinking the same thing. I think the warmth I'm feeling is actually coming from the wifi adapter inside, which would make sense because I notice it when I'm browsing the web for a long time or downloading a large file.
No issues with heating up here.

Only time mine heats up is if I have been streaming from my pc to the tablet via dlna server to watch videos which would either mean its the wifi chip or the cpu heating up.

Just to clarify, you're saying if it is sitting idle - not being used, and the screen is off - for eight hours, it will drop 50% of the battery? I just picked mine up, and after almost 11 hours sitting idle it only lost 5% of the battery. It sounds like you might have an app causing a wakelock.
No heat in mine and it does retain charge while sitting with screen off. I rarely turn it off and charge every day or two depending on use. I read somewhere it is not good to let the battery go completely dead.
Not sure what OOBE is but I have been turning it off to avoid it from overheating really bad like my first book.
Not really sure how to scale it but I would guess maybe a 5 if a 10 is where it wouldn't turn on and a 1 is its cold to the touch.
I used Indrects method.
How would I check to see if a app is doing something like that? Tgps?
I guess I could just leave it on for a day then check to see how the battary is after like 15 - 20 hours.

I skipped OOBE, I used NARS to root. I don't have this problem.
Never heated up for me, not once.
Overall I'm more than pleased with battery life. Watched 40 mins of youtube 720p video with jetvd yesterday (over wifi) and battery went down only by 10%. My SGS2 would've lost like 60%.
Is s6 edge have heating prob when we use games or do video chats???
A heating problem, no. It will get warm if you push it but it is well within anything normal. My m8 got hotter and from what I can tell the m9 will get even hotter.
s6 edge get hot
I buy new s6 edge...last night i was doing skype video chat..and its get very much over heat even difficult to touch...it...i ask from dealer he said its normal in everyphone
Thats y i ask...
Mine gets hot with YouTube and app downloads/updates. Hot enough where the camera disabled the flash because of heat.
I think is a problem with the edge, and needs to be fixed.

Mine barely gets warm, even when playing demanding games.
Got my Phone yesterday. During setup it got so hot that I had to take a break. Multiple breaks because i couldn't hold it any longer. I will see how it's doing today.
Battery dropped after one hour already 11% today... Maybe 30min screen on time has something to do with it
Just needed to get it out of my pocket.. GSam nearly 30°C
Dont know but it feels extreme Hot.. maybe the glas surface?
While surfing on my way home it reached 35°C and this feels really uncomfortable!
Mine also gets starts to get warm rather quickly. Usually starts on the back of the phone near the camera. So I guess that's normal? I'm just wanting to make sure it's not my phone that has a problem...
SuperG03
Bought yesterday Alhumdulillah. It was quite hot, did a factory reset (one is enough, else do twice). The max temp i'm getting on full load is 42c, idle is ~31c.
HTC phones can go very got... you can easily reach 70-90 degree
Mine can get pretty warm. At times it is cool and other times it can get warm to hot.
Mine barely gets warm, even when stressed. I firmware updated and factory reset it as soon as I took it out of the box though.
I stressed tested mine with a few antutu stress tests back to back and couldn't get it over 31C. Ambient temp around 22C
Hello all,
S6 edge user in india here, mine is a 64gb model. Any heavy/slightly heavy usage gets my phone to heat up. So much so that it becomes uncomfortable sometimes. To be double sure of the issue, i installed AnTuTu benchmark app, there i found a temp section of the device.
I did a small test. Please see.
Room Temp: 26-28C
Device temp before the game: 31C
Played the game (Duck Tales Remastered) for 10 mins.
Device temp just after the game: 35C
I dont play games on my phone due to this. Is this normal, or shall I be taking the phone to Samsung official here?

all OK..HTC phones gets hot they reach 90c ..therefore no problems if your phone can get that warm..it's a PC powerphone..you have an Octavia core processor..and likely nothing what cool down..on PC you have a fan..or..simply think about that such temperature is normal
...
Mine is weird. If i watch video ok YouTube o browser based video, my phone can get pretty hot. But when playing games, it doesn't feel hot lol
I have the same problem, when i use Chrome it gets very hot about 72C .... Did i need to send it back?

Dude stop advising people that it is acceptable to have a phone reach 90c...
Anything about 40-50 is an issue. These arm based cpu have low thermal limits and usually do not get excessively hot under normal to light heavy use
My s6 is not warm to touch but keeps shutting down to cool off. Now the phone has been off for 10hrs and will not let me charge it due to battery being too hot but again the phone isn't even warm to touch

I was told by store that it was a game but I uninstalled the game and it is still doing it. I also did a factory reset does anyone have any other suggestions
Not sure if you guys experienced this, but I was playing around with the Google Assistant in Akinator and my device temperature went sky high up to the point where the phone notified me that it has to dim the screen and take action against that.
I set my phone to the max resolution and framerate, and I also keep it in the silicone bumper they shipped.
Did you guys ever see this happen too?
P.s. it wasn't charging.

No issues here, in fact I've been impressed with how cool it stays. Hammered some benchmarks and it barely went over 45c
This is obviously just sat idling now but I've been using the phone for over an hour on max resolution, 90hz and no power saving.
I faced the same in two instances. One, when I was transferring files through Xender. Second, when my Google Photos were syncing with cloud.
Received the same notification as well. The phone was untouchably hot and battery drained a lot faster.
My assumption is whenever there's a big load of data transfer, the phone turns unbearably hot.
I really don't know why you're experiencing this, I have barely put my phone down today and it's been ambient temperature at best including when playing COD. I've got a fair sized file transfer going here and temperatures are absolutely fine
I should also point out before my first screenshot at 10am I had 17 hours standby. I've used my phone on and off all day for web browsing, music and some gaming and in the second screenshot 10 hours later I still have 30% battery remaining and it's not once gotten hot at all. Running 10.0.3 since yesterday afternoon.

Great to know that, I have no clue why we are facing this then. I was hoping it will get better with the future software updates.
Also, there's so much less to read about OnePlus 7T Pro compared to OnePlus 7 Pro. Seems a lot of people did not go for it hence the development is really less, I hope it catches up soon. Waited for so long to get a OnePlus device.
I am facing the same issue, sometimes I'll be doing literally nothing but messaging and the phone will become uncomfortably warm like in the 60's - 70°c also my battery life is quite lower than expected around 4 hours SOT I'm going to try a factory reset and hope for the best
Having exactly the same issue, brand new unit. Delivered today, CPU temps reaching 85 Celsius ! (updated to latest Android 10, not charging, not playing games or doing any intense tasks).
I own a OP6 and OP2 and never felt such uncomfortable heat while holding the phone, hoping its just a deficient unit and not a general problem with the OP7T Pro.
Pic attached.
