Hi,
Is anyone getting this issue of the phone getting warm (at the bottom part where you normally hold) after some light use?

Every equipment produces heat according to the stress being caused to it, your "light" usage of the equipment + your own body transmitted temperature = warm feeling
You may say you never felt it before on your other cellphones and probably the reason is related to the material used ?
The main reason for my answers to sound like this is that I'm tired of Q&A threads appearing here, if this was an issue there's a specific single thread for it! I just enjoy reading a clean and organized forum!!
Don't worry, it's normal. CPU clock ramping up a bit to accomodate for the activity and smooth operation.
are you in a place with low reception? maybe the phone is struggling finding signal

I don't have the phone (yet ) but I don't think it's just you. Every dual-core phone, last year, had heating issues. I'm afraid that the quad core Exynos won't be an exception.

It's probably cos you described it as an 'issue'. It kinda implies that it's something that's not meant to happen, rather than something that's entirely normal and expected.
I'm not trying to be funny, just help explain why people might react certain ways...

Install a CPU Temperature monitoring app and just keep an eye on things. I doubt its anything to worry about lol. My last dual and single core phones used to get warm with normal usage.
lol @ whino's that can't post anything helpful and feel butthurt when someone has a genuine query regarding their product. If you can't post anything useful, dont post and find another way of relieving your pent up stress.
yes this was the first thing I posted when I got my phone
it does get warm with some use
don't worry though, this is normal. had the same with my one x, ipad 3 etc

badass battery monitor keeps an eye on temps.. mine has not strayed above 32c which i think is pretty good .
we will feel the heat in these phones as the power of the processor is going up and the phones are getting more compact and thinner meaning heat source will be closer to the surface of the phone
Heat/temperature issues was one of the reasons why the wireless charger got delayed, by the way.
I have exactly the same issue...my Galaxy SIII gets warm at the lower back, even without making any phone calls...just twitter and whatsapp. I think this is not normal.. with the temperature apps it shows that it's 38 C...this is while not charging it...while charging it becomes 44 C.
Do you think I should return and exchange it?
Damn so I guess I'm not alone at that?
My previous phone (which is an S1) can feel scalding hot, want expecting a quad core to feel warm..
Thanks for the inputs guys! And chill, some people are taking the Internet too seriously..

Have you tried the temperature apps like battery watch? May I ask you what degree is your device?
My phone still gets warm even without using while in my pocket.. It reaches 34 C without using it! Is this normal guys? Do you get such heat? When I use it reaches 44 C. Do you suggest I return it?

Hello..I am thinking of retiring my sgs for sgs2..Until a few days earlier i had even planned, when to get it..i have played with the phone on stores and its more than amazing..its so much better than everything else out there, its almost alien..
BUT..For a few days i have browsed to reaserch before i spend that kind of money.And it turns out it has MANY issues..
yellow screens
short wifi ranges
pink photos
rf-flaky gps
battery drains
sudden reboots
and worst of all overheats..
I guess for the most part they "could" be software problems..But overheating is a real worry for me..I live in a country where summers , ambient temperatures easily climb to 40-45 degrees celsius..An overheat combined to that could litteraly melt the device..
So i ask of you , already owners..Is it really as bad as reading about it looks?or is it exxagerations?It is not a cheap device so i should proceed carefuly.Thank you..
Its a dual core so its going to get hot and as it has a thin case will appear more hot .
But its not what i term a HOT hot i would term it warm mostly .
The other problems you mention dont doubt that they exist on someone's phone but not on mine from day one .
jje
I am using my second sgs2 now. The first one I had had no issues except a pink spot on photos. (this was gone after firmware upgrade)
Then the phone got stolen....
Second sgs2 now and everything works fine, no overheating or anything, I would say my old sgs got even warmer at times especially when gaming on the charger.
I would say it depends a bit on your device, but overall it should be ok! Im extremely happy after upgrading to be honest (Hence I bought a second sgs2 after the first one got ripped)

Hello..I remember seeing you often on sgs subfora.I hope you are happy with your upgrade!
Would you say it is like 40 degrees warm?or 50 degrees warm?As i said if it escalades too much on an already high ambient temperature it could fry it..
Also..Do you use a case?I suspect that would make heat problems worse?
I'm planning to retire my 6 months old SGS and get an SGS II!
I know I can't go wrong with this choice ;-]
Hi,
-yellow screens
if my sgsII screen is yellow, than it should be So no problems there, all colors are like they should be. I really like the display
-short wifi ranges
I heard that from a friend, he tried with another friend and iPhone 4 had better range for wifi. Where the sgsII had no connection, the iPhone still could use wifi.
in my apartment I can use the phone everywhere. router is on the one side of the house, bed on the other side (~10m, 2 walls) and it works. It shows 2 of 3 for wifi. So its okay for me
-pink photos
none, I read the post here and tried it out with a white wall, flash and no flash. Bad light. But picture was still perfect.
-rf-flaky gps
GPS works fine for me
-battery drains
its a smartphone, so you need to recharge every day or every second day. Depending on how much you use it. Like any other high end android device.
-sudden reboots
No reboots yet
-and worst of all overheats..
it is getting hot.
but no problems for me.
It's gettin colder very fast if you stop to use it.
But even when I used it over an hour (plugged in) I had no problem with holding it.
Overall I like the phone. I dont want another one
buy it. i love this phone. Nothing to complain about. I came from a decent phone too!(atrix)
Please don't take the general section at face value. I have a sgs2 from first batch with no issues. After any device release, the section will be filled with false complaints.
Most complaint threads will have the most post versus positive threads. Most if not all complaint threads are bs with very few actual members having problems.
No phone is perfect but my device is running great.

Yes i did.And when entering new post title none comparable was found as well..i found clusters of others, asking about each of the issues separately,weeks apart..so i thought instead of asking in 7 archived topics , to ask in a new one..could have even been possible many of them to have been resolved by updates, since then.

The screen is better

Using a case now and it does make it a bit worse, but I havent seen the temperature going above 37 on the SGS2 yet. SGS1 got 42 sometimes. never saw 50 or something like this..
I do have a small problem now..

If I open the pictures fullscreen on this post, I can see some lines on my screen. On full brightness I dont see them, but with lower there are vague lines. I might check if other phones have this to, can some people here check it for me?
This is a minor problem, and I havent noticed it before someone pointed it out. The branding is also an issue if you make it an issue, this is software not hardware so can be fixed.

I've got to 50 before, using google maps and navigation beta simultaneously. It is a dual core phone though, and obviously is going to have a bit of sizzle behind it when pounding the processors.
I'd say go for it, it really is an amazing phone. The so called problems that have been raised are so superficial that they are near to non-existent. e.g. to see the yellow tint you have to turn down the brightness, use a certain coloured grey background, use a camera to take a picture of it, and then use photoshop to compare the colour of the two sides.
Come on folks, really.
I've used it heavily for a week and have had no overheating problems, you can always check the task manager if an application is misbehaving, it even blinks red if it's hitting the cpu hard.

thanks for the answer on overheating mate..your problem is nothing to worry about..its called banding and it exists on all amoled screens...it is more apparent on shades of grey colour..if you use winamp you can probably see it there on the main screen as well..nothing to worry about.i guess the new samoled+ will also have slower burn in time so it will not become worse soon..
i am not an expert in matters like this,but woulddn't it help if we could get replacement back covers made of thin aluminum?it would also ensure that if the phone dropped it would land on its back and not on the screen probably.
all galaxy s2 get's really hot in about 10 minutes playing a game it's normal or not ?

im sorry but you dont know much about electronics making this extraordinary claim.
This happens in all sgs2, is this normal to happen? no, not even close, it is a mix of poor software engineering and drivers, most of the times you can play normally if you clear the ram, it works on gun bros and other titles.
Any other proper phone does not have this problem but this phone has been rushed out and has numerous flaws.

What you claim is incorrect.
Electrical components get hot because of the electrons that are "moving" inside the conductor, when they do that (the electrons) you get a side effect which is heat.
When you take an electrical device and push it to his limits, or in other words, USE IT, the temperature rises.
Take for example SanDisk Cruzer 8giga, you plug it in, his temperature is normal, you start copying files, lets say 4 gigs, plug it out and you notice it is now really hot.
so sgs2 isn't poorly made or has numerous flaws, basically unleashed12 is right, maybe you are some sort of a crybaby ?

Haha. Its not a design flaw. Games tend to be processer heavy hence the heat. Its perfectly normal for any electronic device when being used to high capacity to heat up a lot. Hence heat sinks and fans in computers and xboxes. Simple physics. Yes there are a few flaws in the phone but this is not.one of them.

Battery Drain is the same as my first phone, but runs a little bit cooler (gets to about 100-104 degrees). I only used it to surf xda(total of about 30min) and to make calls, so I don't understand why the phone should get past 95 degrees.
Even before I rooted and changed to new RUU on the second phone it ran a little warm just off a phone call (about 98 degrees and the convo was only 15min long).
Do you really need 3 threads for the same topic?
Battery issues. Should I try for 3rd exchange?
Heat and Battery
Going to exchange my Rezound
I think it would be as Apple says... "operating well within our thermal specifications"
It is not overheating until the notification led blinks orange and green...
I must admit I did overdo it with the threads, but I paid 200 bucks for a phone not to just "deal" with the heat issues.

That's the way the phone runs. 105 isn't that hot anyway. Stop making new threads about the same thing, and either pick a different phone, or get over it. I don't really know what else to say.

105 is hot when only running for 30 min
Trying to find one that is perfect is like a needle in a haystack apparently...
You are going to have to use your exchange duration until you find that magical one. Nothing we can tell you will fix heat issues out of the box.
I am not just trying to pick on you... the rezound does seem to run warmer than other smartphones and the screen sucks alot of juice when on.
If you are not hitting 120 you don't have a problem.

I understand, but I wasn't asking for a fix. I know the heat issue is more of a hardware issue then software. I just don't want to have to run into problems later if I just try and stick it out, but anyways I got the replacement and the phone is steady at 88-95 A LOT better. I'm Satisfied

your car heats up really fast as well but doesn't overheat does it??? It gets to a temp and stablizes. For mine, on 4g, it will hit 115-120 if I'm streaming, about 105-110 just surfing the web. It's just the way these phones are. Either deal with it or move on.
Mine never goes over 110, and has only hit 115 once, knock on wood.
105 seems normal.

ive never had the battery overheat issue but the battery life on the rezound is worse for me than my tbolt was. hopefully some future custom kernels will fix this.
My phone never gets above like 85. The only time it is warm is when it first boots up. Give it five minutes and it is cold as ice. Even on 4g.

Guys, I am planning to buy a Galaxy S3 but a friend of mine who owned an s3 told me that it generates a lot of amount of heat.. Can anyone please confirm or deny the issue?
Thanks!
Deny.

but if your s3 is placed in the sun it is getting very hot and it will reboot by itself.
happend to me. i had to pull out the battery to stop the re-re-reboot process
I have yet to feel any significant heat on the S3, even while charging. My S2 on the other hand would get warm frequently but it never bothered me.

It overheats with the overheat app it comes with. I managed to bake a potato in one full charge.
Compared to my old HOX, the SIII is a fridge.
It warms up ever so slightly if you run some benchmarks on it but its the equivelant temperature to breathing on your own hand.

Today while charging the phone I dropped it in a bag of unpopped kettles. Guess what I have now. Popcorn. Boy does this phone overheat.
Yeah, I was just confirming if it was a fluke. According to him the phone even overheats while making call which IMO is not possible.
YES
OK this sucks.
Years ago, I got the Iphone 4 and you had to put a cover on it because of the antenna issue.
I get the S3 and to protect it, i get a cover and within no time, after putting it on the phone, the phone overheats, locks up, lags,
If i am charging it, it locks up. I was driving shortly after i put the case on, and it kept making noise but i was driving so i couldnt look at the phone. then once i got home. i noticed it locking up and really warm, bottom right hand corner.
This really sucks as i love the phone but I do know, overheating like this is not good for electronics and will lessen their lifespan.
anyone else having cover issues?

It gets rather warm when it running stuff that puts quite some load on CPU, GPU whateverPU, yah, but not to an extend where one could call it "overheat".

something must be running in the background to cause it to heat up..check whats running in the back ground. have you tried rebooting it? what about the battery stats? do you have the charger plugged in too?
All devices get hot pretty fast these day.
Every recent device I have owned has done so. Phones are more prone to this as there are no fans in them and they pack very powerful processors.
Running flash videos will heat them up even faster..

Well, that can't be help. HTC One's casing disperses the heat evenly to its entire body. That was also my impression when I first hands on, way too uncomfortable to hold in the hand.
Anyway, you should get a plastic case to deal with it
it's normal,every recent device like this,
my iphone 5, lumia 920,and nexus 4, all heats up really fast. maybe we can use it in icebox:laugh::laugh:
Mine got somewhat hot for the first 2 days, now it gets a little warm but thats normal.
Use power save....mine doeent heat up that much with it on

i bet it has a lot to do with the aluminum body - it makes a very good heat sink. plastic body devices retain the heat and insulate it from your touch. I bet the heat-sinking quality of the aluminum body will help with performance. just a thought.
