Hey guys!
I have a problem.. whenever I use mobile data for half an hour or more, my battery temperature rises significantly. From 32 degrees centigrade to 50 degrees centigrade. The back side bottom part of my phone heats up! Is this normal? I have attached screen shots please help me out!
P.s. is my battery backup fine?
Scree on time is 3.5 hours
Mine warms up to that temp and even a little more whilst gaming or heavy use as well.
You can get a mesh vent case that should dissipate the heat better, but that high a temperature is still definitely unusual.
Does your phone heat up to 50 degrees centigrade after just half an hour of continuous use?

Is the battery faulty? Should I get a replacement?
If I ran something like shadowgun or dungeon defenders it gets very hot, I will run a game for half an hour and let you know the exact temp but for anything else it should be fine.

Thanks! Looking forward to it!
My phone heats up to 50 degrees even when I'm browsing using the xda app!
Is the processor heat causing this which in turn is heating the battery?

Mine is the same. Browsing Facebook etc whilst on mobile data heats the phone and starts killing other apps like winamp.

I found that disabling HSPDA and HSPDA+ while surfing prevents the phone from overheating a little.
Could it be you got a pretty weak signal? Maybe try to change modem, mine gets a bit warm at heavy gaming (about 40°), but not at basic things like the xda app.

Using the mobile data creates more heat ovr using wifi, afaik. Thats why i opt to use separate portable wifi unlimited plan instead of unlimited internet plan attached with my phone

My phone gets heated to 50 degrees centigrade even when I am playing simple games like where's my water and Temple Run.
and yea signal is pretty weak! only 2bars but still isn't 50 degrees too much?
for me when i play games, my i9305 gets warm, but heats up in the bottom half until its too uncomfortable to hold when im surfing the net while on cellular data. this doesnt happen when im on wifi. anyone experiencing the same thing? should i go to samsung and ask for a replacement?

I went to the Samsung service center.. they told me that they are gonna test it first and see what the problem is.. if it is faulty then they would replace the battery.. the next day they told me that everything is fine and it's common for every phone to heat up a bit!:banghead:

wait, what? it isnt the battery thats heating up! its some other part of the phone... well maybe i'll just have to live with it since the phone doesnt lag or anything. its just the temperature.

My new TP seems to get rather hot. Is this an issue? It seems like the heat is worse when surfing and changing at the same time.
I would say that there may be an issue. Mine never got above 92 degrees. But its almost always at room temp ( around 70 degrees). Now my phone gets up to 104 if surfing the web on 3g so I guess it depends on the device.

Are you running any other radio type hardware when surfing or location based software when you're noticing the heat issue?
Buy surfing you're referring to just viewing web pages and not streaming video or gaming?

I am not using any additional hardware. I am just viewing websites.
I estimate that the temp is rather high. Not just warm, but hot. Most of the heat was located in the middle of the back cover.
Do you have an app or widget that display core temps?
mine is getting hot also while browsing the web, and battery is getting low pretty fast. this only happens while using android stock browser.
after switching to another browser the heating stops almost instantly....

mine get hot only when charging, I have mine clocked at 1.6Ghz on preformance mode, and it doesnt get hot when playing games.
it more noticeable when not useing the dock, I think it charges mush slower and thats the only reason is not getting as hot.
of you look at the design of the Prime the battery spans the lenght of the prime, so the heat will be middel but over the lenght of the tablet. if its the CPU from overclocking or over use, the hot spot will be top left middel.. ( if that make sence)
here is a pic of the board..

same here basically. plus nothing to be worried about. Prime has a fail safe in it THST if it gets too hot/overheat, it'll automatically throttle the CPU speed down so it can cool off and reduce the CPU temps. prime will never overheat out of control and burn itself up.

my Prime gets a little bit warm after a while, like body temperature warm, but it's never gotten really hot. my SGS2 gets warmer than my Prime when I'm using it

Interesting...I did not know that. Do you know around what temps this happens?
I've been using my i9300 S3 for a few days now and it seems to heat up on the lower back when using wifi/data extensively. It's not hot to cook an egg sort of thing, but it seems hotter than usual.
Any of you experience such issues?
Hello
I am first time android user. Even i noticed this. Please let me know if it's ok.
It feels normal to me though....but I guess extensive usage may increase heat, just like computers and other electronic devices
I noticed the heat issue a lot more when I just got the phone. It still warms up a bit but i would say it is normal.
Though it did get pretty hot on my last flight during take off that I had to turn it off. Didn't want my expensive phone to melt.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
It's normal I wouldn't worry about it to much although it will get warmer if it is being charged while using the program.
I am facing a similar issue ! My question is what temperature is safe enough ? I mean I have used few battery info apps. I have got a temperature reading of around 42 - 43 degree Celsius ! Is it normal ?

Do you own a computer of any kind? Not even that, any electronic device... a TV, PC monitor, anything? Use it for a while, and then report back to me any changes in temperature....
Is quite normal as long as your palm doesn't feel uncomfortable with the heat.

S3 overheating
Krico is absolutely right. It happened this morning when I was charging thru a notebook using both devices at the same time. And the heat lingered on even though I unplugged it. So I switched it off and now it is back to normal. Tks.
The phone can get pretty hot using WIFI and 3g extensively or 3d games. This is normal, electrical components heat up after prolonged use, your computer heats up your tv heats up. As long as the phone isn't burning your hand or exceeding 60C you should be fine. My phone gets warm to the touch and noticeably heats up but doesn't get HOT, if your phone ever gets HOT, turn it off to avoid damage.
I use an app called temp cpu v2. It displays a few interesting stuff incl. battery temperature. There are probably other apps like this.
With wifi on I get around 26 degrees but it sometimes goes up to 50 (or a little more?) on 3d games using wifi.
While charging it gets a little hotter.
in short i forgot my s3 in the car and it was damn hot...i came back to find it over heating and in boot loop.after it cooled down it was back to normal except now i have heat problem when i use the net or play a game...the question is was its exposure to over heat the cause of ruining something?

It definitely will get hot, I remember watching my son at swimming lessons last week.
I am in Bangkok and was outside using the phone extensively on 3G data, ambient temp 35+ Celsius. Can't remember exactly how hot the battery got, but sure out read well into the 40s.
Didn't have any hardware or software issues though.
As far as exchange goes, you could try, but they may reject the claim as you most likely were operating the device outside it's design limits.
From the Pg 172 of the GT-I9300 User Manual: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201206/20120613110217963/GT-I9300_UM_EU_Icecream_Eng_Rev.1.0_120607_Screen.pdf
Do not store your device in very hot or very cold areas. Use your
device at temperatures from -20 °C to 50 °C
• Your device can explode if left inside a closed vehicle, as the internal
temperature can reach up to 80 °C.
• Do not expose your device to direct sunlight for extended periods of time
(on the dashboard of a car, for example).
• Store the battery at temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C.

All hardware is not exactly the same, so your device may be less torelant to excessive heat than others or vice versa.
Hope this explains it.........

Overheating will cause bootloops. I used to use my phone at work as a wife hotspot because it was faster than our work net. I plugged it in and it would always die after two hours from overheating. Finally rigged up a way to keep it in the freezer lol

guys as we speak now the temp is 31° meaning I'm just doing nothing but normal browsing...so this is normal?

Based on what you said, all seems back to normal.
To summarise;
It WILL heat up, depending on environmental conditions and also your using habits. CPU and GPU intensive apps and time spent on this state, and also general use whilst charging etc will heat it up.

+1 to the "It's fine"
Pull out the battery, there it'll list a safe operating temperature. The battery in my phone is "Safe" up to 60c, but it probably shuts itself off at around 55ish. 45 is nothing to a phone, so don't worry.
You're probably just being paranoid, paying super close attention to any kind of "Warm" after the overheating incident. It was probably reaching those same temps prior to leaving it in the car.
Hell, I left my Evo 3D (Super famous for overheating) on my black leather seats, in the summer, plugged in, and GPS running, for an hour or so. It shut itself off and wouldn't turn on for 45ish mins while I let it cool down... And it's running just fine now. Lol
My phone gets really hot when using the data connection on the phone. When i surf the web, video chat, or do anything that uses the data connection the phone becomes hot. it also happens when i play games too. it gets hot around the lower part of the phone around the area where the home buttons located. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else before i get it exchanged. The highest temp i got was 104 Degrees F.
i cant say for sure what temps are safe. i haven't done the research. but my wife and i both will notice the bottom getting pretty hot when pushing the phone. surfing & gaming. not so hot you cant touch it, but much warmer than any of my other droids iv used in the past.

i just played dead trigger for 10-15 minutes and now the phone is at 95 degrees lol. Idk if thats normal.
My phone gets hot at the bottom, as well.
Hopefully Samsung will make some firmware changes to better regulate clock speed according to temperature.
My phone gets really hot also towards the bottom when just using it for anything. Then again it doesn't help I'm in +100 degree weather and outside all day and night.

Yeah, just like in desktop computers, ambient temperature plays a big part.
Mine gets very hot as well. I'm on the 2nd one too. Its just because it is a very slim design, coupled with a strong processor = hot.
Gets a bit scary when playing a game for 20 minutes though..

You can change the clock speeds with SetCPU, because they're set pretty high on stock, 1.5 Ghz max and 1 Ghz min.
Mine gets hotter with regular use to heavy use.
I haven't used it heavily today, nor very recently, but the battery is up to 100℉ degrees right now. It's a pretty nice (read: comfortable) temperature in the house too.
So I have to wonder just how hot the One is going to get when summer rolls around and it's in the 90s℉.
I'm not worried about it right now, but for those of you in climates that are hot already, how is your phone holding up?
FWIW: the aluminum must disperse the heat pretty well. The temp dropped by 3 degrees while composing this message. So that's pretty nice.

It is kinda a valid question. My Lumia 920 would get so hot that if I made a call, it wasn't comfortable near my ear. It has been in the 80's here, and no problems as of yet. I have noticed that for some reason on both of my devices, the app Viber heats them up quick, that's the only one I have seen do this.
Unless you plan on leaving it on your dash, it won't matter too much. Its not a PC in a hot room.

When these new high end phones get hot (I think the One is an internal temp above 34C) they start to under clock the processor and the GPU.
So yes heat WILL effect performance.

The construction of the phone acts like a heat sink drawing heat away from the components. I was told. So mean yeah it would get hot but not really affect the phone itself.

This worries me never had this issue with note 2. Should I go back or forget about the heat and let the phone melt?
Oh I am POSITIVE this will get nowhere near as hot as my Verizon Galaxy Nexus did....I can already tell and I have only had the phone for a day. Even just texting and doing some random playing with it to get used to everything..its pretty cool..By now my Nexus would be frying my ear if I had a call
All electronics are affected by heat..but if this is any indication,,,,it will be warm..but not enough to fry an egg on!

When you play games the phone gets very hot but so does sgs4. In fact every android phone and I had a lot of them got hot when playing games except note 2.
Room/outside temperature doesn't affect the phone temp? So if it's 90 degrees in your room your phone will battery temp will be 74 like it would be on a 70-75 degree day?
