Getting really hot - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

My gs2 keeps getting really hot. Even while just browsing the web my CPU hits like 120 degrees ferenheight. I don't know why but I'm on the latest shostock rom. Any ideas?

50 Celsius isn't terribly hot for electronics.

I'm running the latest Shostock with NO issues whatsoever....

Is your Facebook app running in the background?

My phone has been doing that too; pretty sure it is the Facebook app. Have you tried Fast Facebook? I'm running CM9

Let's take a stroll. Through the useful information garden. And over the obvious bridge. Look! Its a butterfly! Let's name it What kernel u running? So beautiful. It'd also be helpful to know if yer overclocking, messing with voltage settings, if u were charging the phone, and....anything else that could help someone actually solve the problem.

Dip the phone into the bucket full of cold water and see if it actually drops a few degrees.

Rule one of messing with electronics is to keep track of what you did so if something like an overheat or reboot issue suddenly arises, you know what the probable culprits are. without knowing what you were running before the heat issue and now, the only real advise is to compare your setups and see what is different.

I'm not overclocking. I haven't touched the voltages and I'm running the latest shostock with the kernel it comes with. I'm posting this because all I'm doing is browsing the web or just sending a text and my phone is literally way too hot to even hold

(As a note, the temps quoted in the above link are conservatively low. But better safe than sorry in ruining your phone)
Your phone will likely be fine. Most of the components that get hot in electronic devices (cpu, gpu, ect) can handle well over 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Obviously it is still a very bad idea to let any electronics get overly hot -and hard to hang onto because of heat is overly hot.
The first thing to be affected by heat will be the battery life. Batteries "can" (not guaranteed) be irreparably damaged by +160 fahrenheit.

Could lowering voltages cause a phone to run even hotter? I would think it's the other way around...

My phone gets very hot from time to time. Only when it's on the charger though.
"Seasons don't fear the reaper, Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain"

I noticed the same problem when on the lastest version shostock a week ago. It would only happen when the phone would lock-up. I can't remember exactly what programs I had running. I believe I was just sending or reading a text at the time. And I don't use the FB app that much. Maybe once a week. Happened 3 times during one day and it would good from nothing to hot in a matter of seconds. Almost too hot to touch. Took the battery out one time and place it under a fan to cool it down. Kind of scared me so I was checking the phone all day long to make sure it was not doing it again.
I honestly just thought it was a bad rom install so I downgraded back to GB after those events. Hasn't happened since. I had no OC or UV going on just stock settings.
I hope there is software and hardware fail-safes in place if the temp gets too high.

I noticed the XDA app after I closed it was still pulling 10-15 cpu power after I killed it my temp went down quick. See if that might be doing it....

Heat
Ok.... The more you have going on...the hotter the phone will be. The cpu's under loads will definatly create temps. So kill apps. Check how your cpu package handle and read up on cup settings. In on smartaz 2 with ioa .

SetCPU is a great idea to get. You can setup a profile so that when it gets over a certain temp a notification goes off and can lower the processor speed. Mine is set to go down too 500mhz if it gets to warm.

I wanted to give a warning to anyone who may be experiencing overheating on their phones. Its most likely due to this.

[Q] phone gets hot when playing games

when i used my phone to play cricket game within 5 minutes it got hot near the camera and i couldnt continue playing the game. I was totally puzzled. Also when i speak a long call for more than 20minutes of continuous the same heat is felt near the camera. Why is it happening. What is the remedy for this? I really feel bad when it happens
How hot did it get?
Why couldn't you keep playing?
Most likely the temperature isn't hot enough to cause problems but I'm surprised search couldn't help you.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
its is so hot that if u keep on playing you feel that u may burn your fingers placed over the camera region and the heat transfers to the whole unit as well.
might be an idea to underclock to 800mhz
I must say that playing PES2011 or Reckless Racing for ~15 minutes makes SGS2 really hot. Not hot enough to "burn your fingers", but it's still hot. Elixir says that battery temperature after play equals ~41 Centigrades, so the GPU is about ~60, 70 maybe? Can't check it, dunno how.
Does anyone else have that problem?
Same here, i played Order and chaos for about 6 min and it got extremly hot, so i quit and went to set cpu where i saw temperature was 51ºC...
However, i usually have it underclock to 800mhz and theres no heat(max. 31 i think), but i havent tried to play at 800mhz, i always overclock it to 1200 minimum for playing HD games and still do little stops sometimes while playing...

the same problem... but how do i under clock the device and how does that work for me to get out of my heat problem????
If you guys are playing at night time under low light conditions I suggest you get the App screen filter. It reduces the brightness below the lowest brightness settings that the phone can offer. I have noticed a big difference in gaming as my screen doesn't get hot anymore, only the back which is better than nothing.

I read some threads and they say that it has to be flashed, upgraded, rooted... confused...
Same Problem
Same problem here. Phone gets really hot around the front and back cameras, while playing games like RF11 or Asphalt6. Should I return it or flash a custom rom/different firmware. I am on XWKF3.
Same here on gaming..
The maximum battery temperature I've seen was 55 C while charging the battery, a game (Gangasta on message that data was downloaded successfully via Wifi) got stuck in background consuming a lot of CPU (~50%+).
Sorry guys, this phone as a severe design issue and the temperature problem can't be solved. You only can keep the cpu clock down.
He guys,
It's not only with playing games. My phone was doing nothing and the temperature raised (don't now the temp. but very hot) and the phone shut down, and was completely dead. Could not start it up. Could not charge it, because I thought it was empty. After cooling down, I took off the back and replaced the battery and I could boot it again. I was using internet 10 min. before. I think the cpu's where max. and getting hot. This is a serious problem, and I don't want to root my phone to clock down cpu. I am not a gamer so thats not a problem for me. First time this hapened in 1 1/2 month.
I feel realy bad about this. Did it shutdown because of the heat? Is there a safety thing build in? Is it damaged?
I' m wondering how the guys with overclocked devices cope with the heat. I have my phone only 5 days and it already crashed few times while playing games. Once it was getting hotter and hotter and it wasn't responding. i was worried so I had to hold the power button 10 seconds to turn it off. Maybe you(Frank-HTC) had a similar situation but with an app that was working in background?

Update your ROM.
I flashed XXF2 and it does appear to be running comparatively cooler now.
Sent from my galaxy S2
Had a similar issue - the phone used to get quite hot while playing games.
However, Samsung seems to have fixed this issue (at least for SGS2 India users)
I can confirm that updating the stock firmware (KF1) to stock KF3 has solved this. Intense gaming for 2 hours straight, with Wifi and lots of processes running, the phone is only mildly warm.
If you are experiencing this issues, please try backing up your data and updating your firmware via Kies.
My phone doesn't have this issues, I'm using a water-cooling system now.

May this thread die in peace...

[REF] My phone is getting really hot, how hot is too hot?

A number of people have had their phones get very hot and wonder, how hot is too hot?
The purpose of this thread is to answer that, as well as be a reference that can be linked to for providing a quick answer.
Before anything, download a temperature app so you can see exactly how hot your phone is getting.
Once you have that, continue reading.
People have reported phone temperatures being a hot as 100° f to 110° f (~38°c). That is hot but not that bad. Upper 40's celcius (47°-49° ) is not good. And 50°c is critical And can cause damage, even though 70°c is considered the 'kill' temperature for lithium ion batteries.
There are many reasons this could happen. The majority of people notice it after flashing a custom rom to their phone. This has been reported happening in many forums, not just this one. On the whole, people find that when this does happen after a flash, it usually occurs once or twice, and then does not happen again. There is no clear explanation that I know of that can explain it. It could be the phone 'relearning' or adjusting to the battery. It could be an app that is not working well with the new rom. That is why rom developers will sometimes say to not do a titanium restore on all but your most important apps, and to download the rest from the market. It makes for less chance of an app not working well with the rom.
'Rogue' apps are many times also to blame. A rogue app can be described as a malfunctioning app that is improperly working and as a result causing high CPU activity, which in turn causes the phone to heat up. It also can be a bad app that should be avoided, at least until the issues it has are worked out.
How to fix that is usually on a per phone basis, meaning most cases are unique, and what works for one may not work for another.
There are apps that can help track down the problem app. One of the better known apps is better battery stats.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
Check here for a better explanation of it and how to understand it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
It has also been noted that using internet browsers cause the temperature to rise roughly 10°f (5°c). So if your phone is running hot, stay off the browser, it'll just make it worse.
However, while you're trying to figure out what the problem is, your phone may be overheating, or at risk of overheating. And a quick way to shorten the lifespan of electronic is to be too hot.
The first thing I recommend doing is downloading SetCpu.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking&hl=en
Once you have it, or a similar app, downclock the CPU to 500mhz, at least while charging it, to help keep the temperature low in case an app spikes CPU usage and you're not there to stop it.
Sometimes even flipping the phone so the back is exposed is enough to cool it down.
Keep in mind most electronics have solder that will melt between 120° to 180°c (248 - 356 farenheit). While your phone should never ever get close to that, 50°c pales in comparison. But it can still damage the battery.
I also recommend SetCpu as you can setup a profile for it to run your phone slower when it hits a certain temperature to help keep it cool. As well as sound a notification that it has past that temperature.
Charging your phone will raise the temperature of your battery, it just does. At times it may feel very hot. But again, use an app to see exactly what the temperature is. It's not uncommon for a phone to heat up to over 40°c while charging. Though 39°-42°c is towards the high end of what is acceptable, it's relatively normal for charging temperatures.
For my phone I have a SetCpu temperature profile set at 44°c. I'd rather catch it before it gets even close to bad.
Feel free to post about apps that have helped you to narrow down a problem that is causing your phone to get too hot. As well as any experiences you've had with overheating and the steps you've taken to stop it.
For some reason, I've pinpointed browser use to cause my phone to get EXTREMELY hot. I've tried several different browsers, all with the same result. I will download a temperature app and report back.
UPDATE: I had just been using various apps on my phone for about 30 minutes, and the temperature was at 95 degrees. I then used the browser for 10 minutes and the temperature jumped to 104.
What browser? Dolphin browser has been reported by a few users to cause high cpu use. No cause was pinpointed so far.

Just played one race in Asphalt 6 HD and phone was wicked hot, did not have a temp app to check actual numbers.

Just played asphalt 6 and dang it's fun! My phone is running the latest unnamed rom, entropy512's 1212011 kernel @1.2ghz max, wifi on (though looks like juicedefender shut it off during the game, could account for the game crashing) , not plugged in. Game ended up crashing while running the kernel on conservative. Changed it to ondemand and had no issues.
Before starting the game my phone was at 29°c

Played one race with the mini cooper. Immediately exited and phone was running at 36°c
Not too hot, but a definite jump. As good as the game looks and as smooth as the gameplay is, I'm sure the temperature will need to be watched as with most high end games. I'll report back if I see any temperature spikes.
Update: played 5 races in a row and got warm, but not too warm, 41°c
Final thoughts:
Buy this game!
And xda app gave me two choices for quality on the screenshots I posted but wouldn't let the higher quality one upload. Said incorrect extention.

Mine has been getting hot lately too. I haven't identified any battery drainers as the cause, but when my phone gets down to around 25% batter lice the phone starts to heat up. Like today, I pulled the battery at around 20-30% because it was getting warm, waited about 10min for everything to cool down, put the battery back in and it was down to 3%. Either something we're running is causing this or there are battery issues starting to develop.

I did not, i was concerned about damaging the phone. I will the next time around. Thinking about buying a new battery to see if i have the same issue.
Use cpu spy. My phone does the same thing. Occasionally it gets stuck on 1.2 ghz, and really heats up.
Pulling the battery resets it.
I haven't been able to figure out what does it.

[q] how hot ????

Hi everyone. I have a galaxy ace, rooted, stock kernal so no overclocking here and my battery is 40 c most of the time and when its on charge ive seen it touch 45.
Is this normal or should I worry ?
I have a gel case so i'm wondering is this harbouring the heat?
Its probably the case. I usually hit 45 when charging and using the phone (almost always with games). Most of time is 30-35, sometimes gets to 40 when using browser and playing games.
The weather also plays its role, if you live in a warm place loose the case.
My battery gets really hot when it's charging especially when I am using the phone while it's charging
It gets so hot that I sometimes put the phone in the freezer
Lol
Be kind everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
I live in the Caribbean...just north of the equator and ambient temps here get up to 33c and yet I have never seen my temp go beyond 40c (that is with a 864mhz OC) it's never bothered me or hindered the phone performance or stability as of now...so I guess if you're hitting 40-45c i would guess you are ok.
Oh thats good to no :thumbup:

I love in the uk by the way and I dont really want to lose the case as i want to protect my phone, can you suggest a case that maybe dissapates heat alot quicker ? Also what do you guys think about using my phone whilst its on charge?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
You're OK (the UK doesn't count as a warm place), leave the case on, just don't let it go over 50.
Heating is normal on smartphones. My brother has an iPhone, that thing will melt through your hands when it gets hot.
Ps: keep the love going in the uk

Once my Ace got too hot. It touched 55 degrees when it was charging and stayed till there even when I removed the charger. A reboot fixed the problem. I wonder why it happened as I do not have OC kernel.
But it is normal for batteries to get hot during charging due to a chemical reaction inside the battery!

Verify the services in execution, any app can use more memory and process, but the case influences more for the high temperature.
Disable live wallpapers and widgets, that's can reduce the consuption of energy.

[Q] Overheating? - I could use this thing as a kettle!

Has anyone else found the device gets really hot randomly without doing anything task intensive?
My latest battery temp went up to 45 degrees Celsius (113 fahrenheit).
Please shed any light on the matter!
After 15 mins of Dead Space, my SGS3 feels a little bit warmer than normal.
Also the same on HSPA+ and heavy browsing.
But 45 is way better than the 63 of HOX, maybe it's normal, maybe not.
Do some more testing, what app did you use to see the temperature?
I can test my phone and come back to this thread with results.
I have the Problem to but the temprature was up to 54 °C. I dont know why. The Phose is going hot only by surfing. The first days it be cold. After 5 Days it will be war/hot. The battery is going fast down too. The Benchmarks are bad too, antutu e.g. 3 to 5 thousand points. After Buying 12 thousand. Energy-Safemode is deactivated. The CPU Frequency is up to 800 Mhz not 1.4 Ghz.
And today....all is going fine. Its cold, the Benchmarks are high and the CPU ist 1.4 Ghz......
Very curious
and yes, my english is bad
What ROM are you on? Do you have any weird apps that run in the background?
Definitely sounds like overheating problems. Phone gets too hot, CPU scales down, standard procedure... Never happened to me.
Load the newest ROM for your area,do a full wipe, don't install many apps, check it for a day or two.
If the same happens, take it back for replacement.

Hi all,
Thanks for the the replies.
The ROM - is the the original I haven't rooted (I hope that's what you mean...I'm a noob at this)
I have got rid of that horrible touchwiz with apex launcher but that about the only thing that I've done (apart from install a few apps)
As the last guy said "we've got 4 cores dude" haha.
Just seems to get pretty hot had it up to 47 degree. Toasty! but haven't noticed anything drastically wrong with the battery life.
Piece out all. Thanks for all the help!
I don't seem to suffer from this but having said that I haven't used the phone to watch a movie yet or anything like that so o don't know.
Battery going down is only normal when its hot.
sent with SGS3
Well, if it gets hot while on stand-by or out of the blue, take it back.
My phone idles at 27-33c with normal use. After 15mins of NOVA 3 gameplay it goes up to 45c and feels a bit warm.
If your phone gets hot with 3G and browsing or recording video and such, 47c is totally normal, especially if you consider 4 cores and no cooling whatsoever. 47c is nowhere near to toasty though
I hope I helped you.

Play a game for 5 minutes -> phone slows down to a crawl.

Wha the **** is up with that? I'm actually raging right now.
I play any game for 5 minutes or so, and when I quit it the phone has it's performance basically halved. It goes like this: Run Quadrant Standard -> get 3300 points -> play 3D game for 5 minutes -> game slows down noticeably -> close game ->run quadrant again -> get a score of 1600.
What's up with this crap? It's so insanely aggravating. I restored my phone from PCC and it still happens. The only way to get it running decently again after it starts crawling is to reboot it.
Seriously, I've had it with this piece of crap of a phone. I think this **** crossed the line, I'm selling it.
Hrm i think it's when ur phone get hot and decrease it max cpu frequency to about 800mhz! So try some custom rom or kernels might fix the problem!

I don't have that visible underclocking under CPU Master. Mine always says 1500 as max frequency. It looks like you set it to 800 manually.
But anyway, I think it's related to overheating because I noticed that if I let it sit for a while after running a game performance goes up again.
Anyway, I don't give a crap about what's causing it. A phone should NOT overheat from normal use. Ok, it's summer and it's hot, but seriously, I've had it with this phone.
I can't deal with this. I'll just sell it and go back to my trusty ol' Xperia Ray on Gingerbread.

All high power phones have problems with overheating and becoming slow. Install a custom kernel and undervolt it, that should help. Also using a custom rom and kernel has reduced my heat problem a lot.
Of course your xperia ray doesn't have issues because it is slow. A dual core in a phone is going to heat up.
I have played shadowgun for 30 minutes without any slowdown.

Now i realised that the decreased of maximum cpu frequency is only happen when i play temple run brave! What's wrong with the app or the phone!
