Hi everybody. Well I'm running ics Zen 1.2 and my phone seems to get really hot. I have bat stats widget and I will wake the phone up and it will be in the 90 degree range without doing anything. So I checked CPU spy and its mostly in 100mhz most of the time. So my question is are all ics roms like this or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

I've flashed a lot of ics roms and have never experienced that. How old is the battery?
Edit: you said that the cpu is @100mhz most of the time. Is that while it's disconnected from the charger/usb?
The phone should go into deep sleep when it's not connected to usb and not being used. I wonder if something is keeping the phone awake. There are apps in the market that can show you wakelock info.
Its weird because in standby my phone will be at about 90 degrees and if I get on it to watch YouTube or get on the web it shoots up to about 100 degrees in no time and I know its killing my battery. I have the new1800 mah battery
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
100 degrees is nominal when it comes to high heat being bad for the battery. My old phone (Motorola XT720) was notorius for running hot, so I did some research about it and found that you really need to get worried when it starts to hit 50c or 120f+/-. This is when it slowly start to degrade the interior.
I got my old motorola up to 132f one time playing a wicked game of **cough**scrabble. I just backed out, closed the app down and let the phone sit for a few minutes. No harm no foul.
Just for a frame of reference, I have the MLB At-Bat app to listen to baseball games when I am at work and something about that app makes it run hot. 3rd year in a row I've had it and each year it runs hot when I am listening to a game. I have a temp widget on my home screen it and when I listen to a game it hovers around 104f. Knowing that 50c/120f is the danger zone, I don't worry about it too much.
If I can find that old thread of mine, I will post a link for you. Bunch of info in it but I can't search for it now.

My phone seems to always be running pretty hot even when it is in power saver. I was just testing and on xda app, but my temperature was at 90 F on power saver. Is that running hot or is that just how the quad core runs?

If that's Fahrenheit 90-95 your talking about (30-35 Celsius) your OK depending on ambient temperature. Mostly everyone quotes Celsius, thats why I ask. Ninety degrees Celsius you're in trouble that's way to high.

My Droid 3 used to run at over 100 degrees fahrenheit... topped out at 114 once. I had to replace it... too hot in my pocket, lol.
I just turned off power saver and was doing browsing and such and I got to 40 Celcius is that something I should worry about?
Yeah I can't get it passed 40 in my house which is pretty cool but still I live in very hot climate so in scared if I take this thing outside where the air is about 39 C and with a big case on it, that it will overheat.

OK at the moment I am in an air conditioned room. Droid X2 26 °C (78.8 °F) ,Droid Bionic 21 °C (69.8 °F), the Droid X2 has a case cover both have data off ,Droid Bionic is bare naked hence the difference in temp's.
Both are sitting relatively idle. Now say I turn on data start surfing the net, downloading, playing a game etc. temps don't go much above 40 °C (104°F). If ambient temperature is higher such as living in hotter climate, no air conditioning, or outside YMMV.
These phone's will turn themselves off if temps get to high. I believe your temps sound normal.
Hope This Help's
If I do heavy tasks it heats to 41 °C... My ambient temperature is about 26 °C, which is quite high. I think 40 °C under load is normal.
Over 9000...

Some phones do run hotter than others.
Had a blue 16gb for a while and not once did I feel it get warm in my hand. Not long ago sold the 16gb one and got a 32gb and instantly noticed it got warm in my hands. Not hot but enough to take notice. In the 40's. And it's winter here.
Still, I don't worry about it too much. My S2 also got pretty warm and at some stages got over 50 degrees celcius. Still, it never let me down.

I've noticed my T999 rooted stock seems a little hot recently even though it wasn't doing much. I don't want it to be warm because it's distracting. It feels warm in my pocket, and when I grab it it feels warm (the bottom third). Each time it bothers me, because I know that heat is wasted battery.
If I was playing a 3D game or watching a streaming HD video, then OK if it gets a little warm but not if it's just sitting idle. It's going to drive me nuts if I can't make it stop.
I wish there was a Widget that could simply instantly force the phone into a "deep sleep" state where it could still receive a phone call, but not actively do anything else.
The bottom third of my phone heats up a lot when playing games, doesn't matter what game, could be a game of cards, and it would heat up the same as say... Nova 3... or Asphalt 7...
Not sure why it does it, but it does do it sometimes when multi tasking, I am running Omega v30. But always happened since I changed it from original firmware.
Since the 4.1.1 update on my s3 i have been having problems with playing and just simply using my s3 while playing games it usually geta really hot at the back bottom and kinda worries me so i stop playing and kill tasks etc clear ram and eventually it helps, the thing is before the update im sure this didnt happen.

It's normal since the glass and back are really thin (its usually at the bottom of phone), mine does the same if you use it a lot and have the screen kept on
Nothing to worry about.
I would check your battety stats though and look for something called media, this scans your media making your s3 bit hot.

It's the CPU that's heating up, that's near the bottom of the phone, unless the temp is in the 70s (celcius) there is nothing to worry about. The CPU will automatically throttle itself if it gets too hot (can't remember the exact value on the Exynos 4400, someone will though)
If you overclock it will heat up more, demanding activities like playing games etc will heat it up more.
If you are really concerned you can download System Tuner, then in there go to settings, and choose notification packages, then you can download the temperature package, and enable it, this will show live updates showing the temperature of the CPU in the notification bar. System Tuner can be used as root to overclock etc, but to show information like frequency and temperature it does not require root.
If. Downgraded the phone and stopped it what would be the disadvantages performance wise?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Normal.
Just be glad it isn't an iPhone 4 or iPad 2, otherwise it would have self-combusted in your hands.
My S III gets REALLY hot when playing Asphalt 7, to the point of getting artifacts in the screen and eventually crashing the device.
I really don't care much about it. It is under warranty, so if I get any damage from that I'll harass Samsung so much they'll have to give me a new one.
When my phone was on ICS i never felt it getting warm while browsing the web, checking emails and changing system settings. Since upgraded to JB, I've noticed the phone was getting warm at the bottom (near the charging connector) 10 minutes after performing the above activities. The heat was definitely generated by the CPU, not the battery.
I used an app called Temp+CPU V2 from the Play Store to check CPU temperature. When the phone is on idle it hovers at around 25 degrees; after 10 minutes of use it goes up to around 35-38 degrees. By this point i can feel the bottom part of the phone was getting quite warm.
Can you guys test this and confirm whether your phones are behaving similar to mine?
Thanks!

You got a quadcore device in your hands. And it has no cooling whatsoever. So there's no wonder it gets hot when used. Especially playing games or similar stuff.

Samsung i747heat problems
first of all, sorry for my bad english. i just recently bought a samsung s3 i747, from amazon. since i have the phone, it gets really hot... even when im not using it. the normal cpu temp is 43* celcius.. and when is charging it cant be at 55 degrees... i cant returen the prhone to the seller because im in Venezuela and is a problem to send it. anyone could help me? what should i do?
when my samsung s3 gt19300 heats up, the screen is nolonger sensitive what could the problem be
I bought the game. Btw
When I play the game, my device heats up and just wondering if there is a app for showing the CPU temp. And what is the safe zone for the CPU? But I really need that app its not only mc4 but that my main question. I played for 2 hours straight, ended up with 12% battery and the phone felt very hot.
EDIT: for anyone wishing to find out their CPU temp, buy SET CPU and place the widget on your homescreen.

These games are really GPU intensive so my bet is you slow down your gaming. I mean take breaks from time to time. App, I don't know any but you may find it and it may need root. Plus do you have a case on? If yes then it is one of the reasons why your phone is heating up so much. Can you also specify the position where the Phone feels the hottest.
Hit Thanks if I helped you.

my phone heats up in the bottom right. I don't use a case, i am fully rooted and have a custom rom. i don't have any way to read what temperature my phone is heating up to but at a guess, i would say around 50 C or something i don't know My old s1 actually plays the game smoother than my s3!!!! i think the heat is throttling it. i haven't overclocked my phone.
The processor is at the bottom so it will definitely heat up there.
The best thing you can do is to take a break when playing for a long time. Don't charge when playing, turn power saving off when playing (works for me).

I'm having no trouble playing MC4 for many hours.. Charging just makes a little warmer than it normally would be. Something happened one time when it went really hot, but cooling it down and reboot, and nothing happened ever since. I'm pretty sure there's a monitoring widget app on play store, but there's a menu in SetCPU that shows current battery level and temperature.
Omega v34 with Siyah 1.8 kernel. CPU OC 1.6GHz and UV around 100~150mv for each frequency. GPU OC to 600MHz no UV.

yep will do, just a few last things, i modified the UV a bit. My phone started to crash alot so i changed them a bit. for 3 hours of gaming my CPU went up to 50C still kinda warm but hey, it quadcore. to keep it at 30C or 24C idle you would need a water cooler. LOL

What claims your phone to be overheated?
Only that app or are there other indicators such as the phone being sluggish (it clocks down on overheat)
- Are you in a warm/hot region?
- Is the phone in a full body protective case
- are you overvolting / overclocking cpu or gpu?

If you're running games that'll happen. That's where the chips are. If you're getting that while the phone is idle or something use watchdog or better battery stats to find what it is and stop it.
