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.

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.
Received my preorder galaxy s3 today from ATT.. It is simply amazing but device is getting hot at the bottom after prolonged use and while it is charging..
Is it just me or someone else is having similar issues..
Thanks So Much

you musta been watchin about that one that burned up
Yes, mine gets mildly warm. But that's after extensive use. Not sure about charging--will check.
I posted this in the other thread. For me it tends to while mild usage. I understand while charging but not when its not

The processor is running at all times. Then you also have to take into account screen brightness. With my phone's I notice the amount of time to heat depends on the screen brightness. The brighter the screen the faster it gets warm.
Mine got a little warm but for sure not as hot as my iPhone would get...
Not hot at all. Video, browsing, calls, Skype. Being warm - yes, but it's normal

I had a few hours today when it was warm just sitting in my pocket while in meetings with the screen off, etc... it may have been busy sync'ing emails, but shouldn't have been working too hard yet was definitely warm. Had to take it out of my pocket and set it on the table to cool myself off...
Warm yeah. Uncomfortable NO. So far I am really enjoying my smartphone.

What's the normal phone temperature range where it's still ok.... My phone went up to 98degrees... Was uncomfortable for me to use

Mine got warm too when it was in pocket sitting..so got here looking for if someone has same issue and guess I'm not alone lol
Come on guys we are talking about dual core with 2 gig ram. It's almost a home laptop or desktop. And not to say there is no ****ing cpu fan installed so it normal for the phone to get little hot or warm after some use or charging. Even my ipbone 4s gets hot and that ****, is only running at 800 mhz

I believe many of us are saying that the phone is getting hot while NOT using it - - just while it's in the pocket...
I had it in the car with the charger connected, doing gps navigation while listening to music via BT and the wifi was on. After 30 minutes it was uncomfortably warm bordering on what I would call hot.

It's the battery that gets hot. same as every other phone

Mine gets warms at the bottom, but I've also been using it a lot than I generally use my phone simply because it's new. We have one of those laser temperature sensors at work. I will probably get some readings tomorrow.
yes, mine gets pretty warm too at the bottom
I had an AT&T HTC One X for a few weeks and returned it because I wanted this phone. Same processor. It never got hot or even warm enough to notice when using a lot (charging or not). Still waiting for stock in stores to get the GS3 but this is a real bummer IMHO as it may not be something that root/ROMs/etc. can fix.
I may be wrong about this but I believe metal dissipates heat better than plastic. I'm an electrical contractor and I deal with LED bulbs alot and I've noticed that the same exact bulb in plastic gets hotter than the ones encased in metal... Take that for whatever you may.

Would rather have a "cheap" plastic phone that gets a little warm and can take a droptest better than a heavy "premium-feeling" cold metal phone that blocks the antennas and dents.
Hi guys,
I've bought a SGS3 and i am facing some temperature issues and i want to know if it is normal. At a normal usage (for example while im writing this thread) the battery temp is at 45 degrees Celcius at the bottom of the device - sim card / micro SD zone. Is it normal?!?! it is burning my hands!!! i had a htv desire and a SGS2 and it never happened to me...and no, im not playing any game.
What should i do?
Cheers mates!
Not normal return it.

I'd return it asap.
My first galaxy s3 would reach temps above 49c. I was able to exchange it without issue from expansys. But yes that's not normal.

Depends allot on ambient air temp and what the task the device is performing.
Say, OAT is 35-40 and surfing away with 3g will put the battery temp well into the mid-high 40s. Also performing high CPU tasks and charging at same time will do this.
If this is not the case for you, then it is not normal temp just sitting there in a controlled environment surfing the net.....
But before doing anything, check that there is not done rogue app eating away at the CPU. Maybe also factory reset and check before installing any 3rd party apps.

I think I found the cause...i was surfing the web using weak 3G signal. If i use WIFI, the phone will stay at 30/35ºC. But its normal that with 3G network, the temps reach 45ºC??
Thanks for the help!
Hi,
I've got same trouble, over 3g the bottom is over heat,
but in wifi mode, not heat too much.
Is there a way, maybe a radio upgrade ??
The baseband processor and radio amplifier work at maximum capacity to make your phone reach the antenna when you got a very weak signal, so it's normal that the phone heats up.
If it gets really uncomfortable to hold you should return it, since it might have a hardware fault (not very likely but still always possible)
When you picture that a small (roughly 4cm!) antenna has to emit enough power to be heard up to ~1.5km IN ANY DIRECTION away with the signal not being sent in a straight line but rather reflecting off several objects, it's awesome what modern technology is capable of.
I'm asking myself the same question, i'm afraid to return it without a reason. Can someone, with a Custom ROM, test a simple 3 min web browsing in weak 3g connection and report the temp of the battery?
Thanks in advance!
i got 46 degrees celcius while browsing on 3g..idk what`s the problem
The problem? i don't know if this is a problem, that's the reason because i wrote this thread I had a Desire and a SGS2 and i haven't felt this kind of heating in nether of them.
Have the same problem here man

~45c will not burn your hamd, it may make your hands sweat but other than that you should be fine.

Are you in a weak signal zone?
No i have full signal. It's crazy. The service center guy replaced my battery but the problem is still persistent. Please help.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
What were you doing with the phone when it reached that temp?
Using whatsapp.
And downloading swiftkey from the play store.
Just a little multitasking screws this thing up.
As i said, it's crazy.
And also, no other tasks were running in the background FYI.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Your signal being "full" doesn't indicate the signal strength of the area you are in. As signal becomes harder and harder to reach, the antenna will use more and more power to try and improve it. This means your bars may look good, and your phone will get hot, but you're in an area that signal is not very good.
It is not a defect or a problem for the temperature range it reaches. If you are concerned about burning yourself you can get a case to prevent that, but the temps that it reaches will not burn you.
If you are indoors and actively using your phone try to switch to wifi so you get better battery life. Using 3g inside can use a lot more power and generate a lot more heat.
mainly its the battery
look at this thread

Hey guys! I have had my gs3 for around a week now, and have flashed multiple roms. For some reason it always overheats even when doing normal browsing and such. And clue why this is happening?

Are you also charging the phone while observing this? I notice my screen gets hot when the brightness is cranked all the way up. There's been quite a few threads about this. The phone is thin and it's powerful. That heat needs to go somewhere.
Anyone else notice the htc one aluminum backside gets extremely hot when the cpu reaches over 100 degree. Usually this happen when I'm charging the battery or watching a youtube video. Sometimes it too hot to hold in my hand and I have to set it down and turn off the screens in hopes it cool down.
My galaxy note 2 always stay at 84 degree unless I'm playing games, but even the it doesn't feel really hot in my hand.
Yeah the metal conducts heat better so it can feel a lot hotter. Maybe a case could help.

If it is really that hot that u cant hold it u might want to call at&t or what ever carrier u have and tell them about the prob..or maybe thir is something bigger that is making ur phone overheat

Mine gets fairly hot with heavy use. Not too hot to hold however. It doesn't bother me. If it's getting that hot through a case I would trade it out for a new one just to be sure.

I've gotten mine up to "too hot to hold" temperatures while torrenting, listening to music and web browsing all at the same time with screen turned up to max brightness.
Mine would get really hot in the few days I had it, but now I don't notice it anymore

The aluminum body of the phone conducts heat a lot better than the plastic of other phones. So while it feels hot, its actually better for the phone, because the heat is going into the air (or into your hands) faster than it would with plastic.
The phone will throttle the cpu if it gets too hot, and completely shut off if it gets way too hot.

That doesn't seem normal to me. While my phone is charging, it doesn't get that hot. It also charges slowly. I'm guessing this is to preserve the battery. Even with usage, it doesn't get abnormally hot. Only when I start playing games. But it feels like normal heat. Not something I should be worrying about.

That is why aluminum is used for so many heatsinks on computers, cars and many engines. Its a great, lightweight, heat disperser. On the flip side though you feel it working with the warmth.

for me it's a warning that I've been playing ingress too long. lol.
I had it a couple of times now..
When I'm charging my HTC One overnight the next morning the red light is blinking than I want to hold the phone but it's too damn hot
When I'm turning on the phone (from hybenate) the red blinking led is off... and I see the battery is on 96-98% .. very strange..

But this happened only 2 times now (in a row actually)... today I was charging my phone normally and it fully charged! I turned off the app BatteryGuru.. maybe that's the problem...
That blinking red light and extreme heat is a signal that the battery received "too much voltage" or extreme temperature, both can permanently damage the battery and circuits.
Do what you want, but it won't be the last time you have a problem. Also, are you using the stock charger?

After disabling the BatteryGuru I luckly don't have this problem anymore..!! PFIEUWW!
I know the red blinking light is for extreme overheating, and I know that is a really bad sign..
EDIT: Yes stock charger!
Mine get hot too, when i'm using it on LTE for awhile, I guess this is normal, it wasn't that bad, my iphone5 also do the same.
Z is a little better on this.
What temperature are you guys getting. Mine is usually around 104f, too hot even with a case
