My new Galaxy s2 gets pretty hot while playing Game Dev Story. Is this normal? Should I be worried?
I don't think so, its just the CPU kicking in to run the game. Nothing to worry about unless the phone is literally like, scorching hot though; to the point where its too hot to handle or something.
Mine gets real warm while playing asphalt 6 i wouldn't worry to much unless like previous post says

GDS isn't CPU intensive so clock your CPU down to about 600/400mhz when playing. Save battery and heat

Search this forum and You will find out that it is normal ..............
EVERY PDA/Navi etc. gets hot when used at max. cap. ...................
Has sumthin to do with electricity, You know ?

Ok,so my vibrant gets pretty dam toasty.reaching temps in the mid 115F and thats after about 30 mins of use. Even worse when playing games. So is this normal? And is it going to catch on fire? Lol

doubt it. i do get to about 113 F sometimes with charging. Never had a phone run this hot before but i think it should be okay.
Nominal combustion/corrosion for these types of plastics is 100*-200*.
Now, 100* at prolonged periods can warp the plastic, but you need much more heat to actually combust (catch fire). Battery expansion on the other hand can cause combustion immediately, but that occurrence is very rare.
*You are fine.
Yea didn't really think my vibrant would catch on fire.that part I was joking about.but dam it gets hot!

My Vibrant gets up to around 40-45° C when charging or using Mobile AP.
Sometimes it turns itself off in this situation, but I think that may be SetCPU's fault. Overclocking always makes things less stable.

Sometimes you can cook an egg on my vibrant, especially when playing games, or when it is charging.
However, if it is getting excessively hot, try exchanging it.
I made a thread once asking people their vibrant temp, not everyone indicated high temps.
Is it safe to play long hours with Att Galaxy Note? I'm running 1566max/382min OnDemand and I noticed after 30-45 mins of gaming my "phoblet" gets very hot...
So no one plays on their notes? Hmmm
I play MC3 and Shadow Gun and of course it's going to get warm. These games are extremely graphics intensive. Heck my phone gets warm from simply surfing the net. If its getting crazy hot. Take a break.

That's the thing I'm not sure what "crazy hot" is like Prolly burning hot?
if you see 55c that's getting to the dangerous hot
anything less than 50c you are still fine, and can play for as long as you want

Any good app that you recommend that would show you temps?
Hmmm is battery temp = cpu temp? I didn't think so but the apps that I can find, I noticed they are showing same results from battery temp I found in setcpu...
Looking at the battery temp will be a good enough gauge of when you should stop

After how long does it get warm when you play games like NOVA 3 and such?
For me it does after like 10-20min which is somewhat short to me, but then again, I've never owned a proper flagship phone such as the s3 before.
My phone gets heated up to 47°c after 20mins of riptide.
What's the temperature your phone heats up to? I suggest you use badass battery monitor to check the temperature

Your phone does what?Are you overclocking or something?My S2 doesn't get to 47°C after 1h of NOVA 3 while still being overclocked(Both the CPU and GPU).And the S3 is supposed(And I think proven too) to produce less heat than the S2.
My S3 gets a bit warmer too. Think it will be fixed in subsequent rom releases. Same thing happened with my S2 when I had it; it went away eventually

My s3 barely produces any heat compared to my s2,that thing was burning the flesh in my hands... Maybe that's the reason nova 3 runs sluggish on my phone but not to anyone else?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Has stock roms ever fixed the heat issues through updates in the past (on other phones ofc), or do I have to root and flash a custom rom to decrease the heat?
My s3 also get very hot from both sides after playing 15 mins of shadowgun. I m using stock rom. And yea here temperature is 42C in pakistan lahore!!!

I can't find any details for the Exynos chip in the S3, but afaik most ARM devices have a Tmax (maximum CPU temperature) of 50-something (58?) degree Celsius.
So if it's already 42 outside, you can expect the system to be 52 as air-cooling is terribly inefficient, especially in hot dry air.
When you fire up some games it will thus go above it's threshold and automatically reduce it's performance to keep itself from being damaged due to overheating.
Is there a way to stop this or is my phone defective?

Is your phone rooted? If it is try lowering the cpu. Turn screen brightness down. See if that helps

By always, you mean all the time? Or just when doing a certain thing (playing game, watching video, etc)?
The phone should NEVER get hot. It will get warm after watching a video or playing a game for an extended amount of time, but never hot. Also, take off the back cover and see if the battery is hot. If it is the battery, remove it IMMEDIATELY, there is a chance it could explode.
AW: Phone always getting hot,
If you oc the phone to >=1,5 GHz/ 320 MHz you could also call it hot if you play 3d games ^^ "hot" is a little bit subjective, imo its warm not hot, but other might see it different...
But if its always hot, something is wrong with your phone....
If you have root you can check the CPU and battery temps with kernel tuner (if supported by kernel) or similar apps
Cpu should stay at <30° at idle and <50 while using it a long time; battery is throttling itself @ 36° afaik, but should stay under 33° if your not benchmarking and charging at the same time....
Does the LGOG get hot?
If not 30 mins, when?
I ask because my one x gets progressively hotter after 30 to 45 mins of playing any game. arcane legends, angry birds, draw something or modern war. even after that long using the WiFi hotspot. just seeing if this is a non issue for the LGOG.
Thanks
This would be an issue for all phones. Running the display and discharging the battery as much as you would need to make all the calculations in any game make a phone get hot, however someone with this device may be able to say how hot it gets.

It gets warm like any phone will, but I've never had it get uncomfortably so. I know a few people have had an issue where the LGOG will randomly overheat, but I think that's due to a bad battery or other non standard issue.

This phone gets crazy hot when you game on it. Nothing to do with bad batch or battery. It's a op quad core in a glass container with little ventilation.

Pretty much this. Any 3D intensive game on my OG heats it up like crazy.
I play a lot of games on my phone, it does not heat up like the sensation did after a bit of playing. I've put in some long sessions on it too.
With eco mode on my device doesn't get hot on intensive games.

I've never had mine get hot enough for me to worry.
I started playing real racing 3 and after setup, playing half a race and I couldn't even touch it by the camera area. It also started smelling like plastic burning.

Eco mode. The LGOG is more than powerful enough to run games so running at lower frequencies won't really hurt the performance.

Thanks all. Sounds good to me!
