There is a separate Q&A thread and there are so many posts regarding battery issues and heating problems. I suggest you first search for what you're looking for and if you don't find what you're looking for, then you can start a new thread. This helps keeping the fourm clean with less spam/duplicate posts.
Anyway regarding your question, to what temperature does your phone get heated up to? I suggest you use a battery monitor widget like bad ass battery monitor to check your temperature. My SGS3 heats up to 50°c with just 1 hour of continuous gaming or web browsing.
Here is a thread regarding this. Hope this helps

Big battery increase..

So I use my phone quiet a bit like almost constantly and I usually struggle to get 5-6 hours out of my phone.. I had done an avs antivirus pro scan and deleted a few useless sprint apps (using avs antivirus pro if you go into tools and tuneup) then I did a battery calibration the next morning when I had 100%,(which I had done before) ive now been today gotten a little over 8 hours! (actually the final time I got was 8 hours 8mins and 8 seconds )
Just a tip dont know if this will be consistant for everyone post back your results if you try it!
(this photo isnt quite at 8 hours but that 1% of battery life lasted quite a long time!)

Best I've gotten so far. That was during an average work day, heavy usage before and after work with moderate usage while at work during smoke breaks and such.

Or you could just turn off mobile data expect when you need it.
I'm going to see what I can get with it underclocked to 750mhz(second core disabled) and mobile data turned off.
This is on Rock rom, with the 1.3ghz rom from it, and I uninstalled moto portal and task manager.

You posted on the kernel thread that underclocking to 750mhz disables the second core. I tried it on multiple kernels and it gave me similar results on all of them, in battery life and benchmarks.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
That only worked on that one kernel.
I'll be making another soon

The worst observed battery life was about 3 hours when using the phone in a poor signal location and doing lots of web surfing. Max battery life observed so far was 37 hours just about 5 days ago.
I had good improvement after killing Sprint apps too. I still need a bigger battery through....

Hi mate.
Did you know there is a Q&A thread?
U may get a better answer there...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
And no a cheap Chinese one won't be as good. I got a high capacity one for s2 and it didnt last long. May be defective. May just be poorly made and not tested enough.

Max battery temperature?

Hello guys,
I have one Q.
What is yours battery max temperature ?
I have instaled battery info app which has temperature indicator.
Today was almost 42ºc.
Is this normal temperature?
I'm a little bit worried, because S3 has one major problem probably with mother board and it's over heating.
Thanks in advance for your ansvers.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
42 is pretty normal, when i play games it goes up to 48 and no problem whatsoever
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks man for your answer.
I m glad it's nothing to worry about.
What do you think is the max temperature that won't harm the phone?

Normally the temp will go till 60 c. If it go above 60c your battery might have problem. The battery will broke if it too hot or it will discharge fast.
Sent from my phone
Thanks man.
This is the info that I've been waitng for.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
From experience
well i have a habit of overusing my phones capability.
the battery stop charging when it hits 60C.
i accidentally kept my phone under a pillow while downloading some stuff when i found my hand kind of burned and when i checked it the temperature was 70C
i still dont have any problem. i just removed the casing and held it to the AC for a few minutes and it was alryt.
my advice is never leave ur phone under a pillow ever again!!

What roms are great for battery life?

You'll get nice gains with ROMs using dark modes available in settings or inverted gapps. I prefer the one click option in settings. May help narrow your search.

aaaaand again.
folks I have come to the conclusion that this CLASS OF PUNK is merely trolling. he has some simple issue for anybody else, yet it is pancreatic cancer to him. he has one of these issues almost every week, and I have responded every week. you will never get a response as to your suggestion helped or his issue being resolved.
from everything I gather, he is just making things as difficult as possible for himself. most of his issues could be resolved by him actually reading the Super Everything Thread. i dont think he wants to be helped.
I know this is a thread about helping people, not a thread about how many thanks you can get. but it is a courtesy to let people know that you issue was solved.
Dude i thanked the first guy who gave me a reply and alot of times when i don't respond is because i am working sorry for any convenience And as of now still i get little more battery juice the jellybamsandwich gave me around 3 hrs of battery juice so that's a plus sorry guys for not responding

I've been using straight CyanogenMod 10.2.2, hibernating all my apps in Greenify (app), set the cache to 4096k in SD-Booster (app), and use the "Ultimate" setting in Autokiller Memory Optimizer (app), and my battery life exceeds 24 hours.
Wow are you a heavy or average user? And I tried something new last night I odexed my apps and I can realise a major difference now with the speed I still gotta check back on the battery life though I just took it off the charge lol but I gotta good feeling bout this
