It is normal for it to get a bit hot, don't worry.

Yes, it's normal. It's because it's so thin there's not much space for the heat to go.
You don't have to take out the battery, just close the applications and let it cool down
Edit: too late!!!

Heating is normal, hanging not normal at all. Angry Birds and browser shouldn't cause that. Can't say i used the other apps you mentioned, but my birds don't hang, they fly perfectly

Well it has been a long time and it has not hanged since then
hope it was a one time issue

i think its normal because its a dual core ?

new phone gets very hot

I have a new sgs2 and on the first day of using i noticed that it got very hot, is this a common thing and is there anything i can do to prevent it?
Was you using it while it was cahrging cus mine gets hot as well if i do that. Been fine since i got it months ago tho

Charging makes it pretty hot.. Make sure it doesnt have a case as that will make the phone hotter.
Also kill unused apps once in a while as the more resources you use the hotter the phone will get especially when watching videos or playing games.

it got very hot while i was just surfing the net, won't watch movies or play games on it. It was too hot i counldnt hold it any longer, wasnt charging it either.
Might be faulty. Try taking the batt out and put it back in, if still the same take it back to the place you got it and replace

It felt uncomfortable and it was hot.
I will give it a few extra days and see how it goes when I am back home.

You might want to get it replace, some devices have heat issues.

Maximum heat it reached while playing asphalt 7 was around 46C and while charging around 38 till 41
So I think you should get it replaced

Help! Weird battery behavior

Hi there ppl,
I was normally using my phone (web pages, twitter, etc...). Suddenly screen started to flash with something that reminds scanlines and after that the whole phone got a little bit hot, instantly, and finally it died.
I pulled off and put the battery back to find out that it was completely depleted... now it's normally charging... does anyone knows if this is a sign that the battery will die soon?
Update: More freaking stuff. I just spoke with my girlfriend, she owns a lumia 800 on the same network. The same thing happened to her phone except that the battery died for a few seconds and came back normally (without recharging)...
Cheers

[Q] My note shuts off as soon as Rom boots..

Hello, I am having a problem with my note and it is scaring me. As soon as my note boots it is shutting off completely and restarting. I was just using it with fine last night. I had the uber kernel installed and oced to 1.9 cpu but it wasn't even that hot.. After thinking it was the Rom that was causing this I did a complete wipe and flashed the candykat Rom, upon boot when the cyogenmod log in screen appears it shut down and rebooted again.. twice. I'm hoping nothing is damaged internally. I am able to stay in the recovery just fine without any problems. Please help me.. And when I say shutdown I mean insta black screen and reboot..

Idk if I will do that lol. But now I think I know what the problem is. So yesterday I was using my note and it shut off. The battery was full and when it restarted the battery all the sudden dropped to 60%. It turned off again and went to 1%... I thought it was glitching when it said 1% but after amin it shutdown due to low battery. One thing I then tried was having my phone plugged in while using it and I played games, used my phony heavy and what do you know.. It didn't turn off. So I'm thinking I have a bad battery. PS: I took my note to a pawn shop and they said the battery was bloated. He said it wasn't supposed to spin while on a flat surface.. What do you think?
It seems while I'm playing a game the battery heats up and that causes shutdown cause I'm typing this and I don't have my charger plugged in and its fine..

Yes a bulging battery is a sign that it's bad. Batteries are cheap. Especially on eBay. I buy an extra battery and charging dock for all my devices. This way one is always fully charged, and I don't have to plug in the device unless I need Odin or to file transfer. I learned that lesson 2yrs ago when my usb charging port went bad.

If my power button was stuck would I see the shutdown menu before it rebooted, shutdown, reboot, sleep, etc? I'm just trying to make sure my battery is the problem.. I don't want to deal with a power button..

No you won't see the power menu. It just keeps restarting. I don't think you'd even see your home screen because it restarts before the rom loads.

Oh well then. That's awesome because I'm able to use my phone for more than 5 mins without it shutting down. It usually shuts down when I start playing a game or something intensive. So it has to be the battery! I'm really happy.

Well my phone shut off again when using another not as bad but still a bit puffed out note battery. I don't understand what's going on here... I'm scared to buy a new one thinking that It won't work still... my phone never turns off as much when the charger is in... But guaranteed with battery only. Less than 10 mins.
