Every time I play a game eg: amazing Alex, eternity warriors 2, etc..
The evo one heats up pretty good and fast. I've played these 2 games with the phone off the charger. On the charger, even with just you tubing and Facebook the phone also gets pretty warm. You guys have the same thing happen to you guys too or am i alone?
I consider myself a power user.

I don't remember the og evo getting warm playing some games.. Then again, the og couldn't play some games like eternity warriors 2.

Running an intensive game will cause your CPU and GPU to run to their fullest, which will generate heat rather quickly. Kind of like if you were to watch a movie or play a game on a laptop.
Also...Keep in mind how thin this phone is... heat goes through it pretty quick.
Yeah. I guess there's no fix to that thanks guys. I thought it wasn't able to handle it thus the heat.

My other box prevents it from getting hot quickly but once it warms up through my case it's very hot

So when im playing O&C on 3G this phone get so hot that I can feel the heat even with the otter box case on,the heat is around the top part of the phone,and the temperature reading is 115'-120'F is that because wifi is constantly scanning?..or is it because of the game constantly drain data?

I have this exact same problem I think the reason is because both WiFi and 3g is on running at the same time I think thats why it gets hot

Hopefully thats all it is cause I was goin to return it.& the 3D ac charger push a lot of power into the phone really fast(sorry I don't know the technical terms) and get over 115'F really quick
...I'm now using the iPhone charger,it charge very slow for this phone but it keeps the temperature under 110'F while playing Order&Chaos

I'm having the same issue with my 3vo. I'm hoping this amount of heat will not cause any long term damage to our phones over time.

Ive had this problem when playing games with airplane mode on so I am assuming the processor is the culprit. Just played zombieland usa and my 3vo got up to 110.
Those kinds of temperatures aren't going to hurt anything, i think the auto safety is at 50c or 122f. One of the problems with high temperatures is weakening solder joints. I would say 140+ is the point where things might start getting a little too hot. But the phone will shut down before it gets that hot.

I had the same problem while playing. And also I noticed my phone would get extremely hot while plugged in as well. I checked out a few threads here and figured it wouldnt be a problem. This morning I woke up to a dead evo. My guess is that extended periods at that temp will cause damage. It may have just been my evo as my friend's does not get hot.
I've played on 3g/WiFi for hours on end and my phone has never gotten very hot. Maybe a tad bit,but nothing like what you guys are describing. Idk.

Just recently started watching netflix a little bit, and after about 10 minutes the phone gets ridiculously hot. It got to the point where I think the phone overheated and froze.
I tried limiting the CPU to 800mhz and set it to conservative, but it is still getting very hot.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Running ICScrewed v1.5.2 (I think that's the version, whatever the latest on it).
Netflix must be running the CPU/GPU at full bore most of the time while streaming content. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it - it's the nature of the beast. This device tends to get really hot in extreme processing.
I'm starting to be concerned about the longevity of it. I know it's built around the 32nm mfg process so it's quite efficient but the heat is outrageous for a phone...
My phone got really hot only top left of the phone when I played blood and glory. Pretty weird. When I exit the game it cools back down like nothing ever happened. =\ I'm thinking I just got the phone at the wrong time/place.

Nothing is perfectly efficient, and a product of inefficiency is heat! The more power you use the more heat that's generated. Just like on a computer, the more CPU/GPU intensive things you do the more your computer will warm up.

When I watch Netflix, I would say it gets a little warm - but I would certainly not call it hot.
Possibly another program(s) running in the background consuming additional resources?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
The only time Netflix has heated up my phone was when playing on my TV over a MHL adapter, while charging, and pulling the video over data. Normally when I just watch on the phone, using wifi it doesn't heat up.
But as others said, that's a lot of power, and I expected some heat. Even at that set up, it wasn't hot enough to worry me.

Anyone's EVO get super hot after a little web browsing? I mean literally after about 5 minutes this thing is on fire. I'm rooted running viper's 1.2.1.
I haven't noticed it getting hot when browsing but definitely catches fire if using the camera for more than a few minutes.

I haven't used the camera that much yet. I didn't realize there was another thread that addressed this issue, and when reading some of the comments, I guess we do need to consider that this is a device running a dual core 1.5Ghz processor, so it's gonna generate heat. I'm using an app to monitor the phone temp. I guess I'll wait and see.
experience this on my gnex... was quite abnormal coming from a my epic... where there as no heat generated unless i Overclocked. Its just how these dual cores work especially at such a high frequency. You could try changing governors though. What is is your gov anyways? I switched from interactive to Ondemand and the heat instantly vanished. Can even use while on the charger and it barely gets warm.

So recently i got a htc one x but i was frustrated with the issues the one x had and and one of them was overheting man the phone was super hot when playing games it gos up to 54C and while playing a game you cant charghe your phone becuse it is going to overheat and htc says that is normal (maybe for them but not for me).So i got rid of one x and looking to get a GS3 so how are the temperatures in normal usage and in gaming my GS2 while playing GTA III is not going over 38C.
certainly NOT heat up, it will get warm when you shots video or 10xshots per second .

yeah i saw it that made me open this theard and i think the 2012 phones suck im thinking on going for the htc one s in the end god knows..
Only time my phone gets noticably hot is browsing XDA due to all the frigging adverts!
I seem to have found a combination of activities that can make it seem "hot"
I use a background radio streaming app over 3g, then if I play any kind of game - it runs quite hot, almost uncomfortably.
Mine stays at an average of 31 degrees consistently.

Mines' doing fine, base on SetCPU around 38'degrees for a full 30mins of Nova3 (clocked at 800Mhz, running all 4 cores i think) on my battery, not sure how warm my CPU is
Mine gets quite hot after using it on max brightness after awhile.

In usb host mode the usb port gets pretty warm >40c
Also, i'd imagine the cpu does get pretty warm given how much processing it does.

Samsung should promote this to the Alaskans as a combined entertainment/hand warming device.
so how are the temperatures do they go over 50 when gaming like 30-40mins like the one x i had my s2 while playing gta 3 wont go over 40c i played 1h and 6min
And how is the battery how much can do you get onscreen time? with one x i couldnt go over 2h and are there any issues with the phone like the one x had with screen flex/ripple yellow tint,hardware problems with wifi etc.. i realy expect an honest answer because i had the one x and it was only trubble dont want to make that mistake twice so im thinking galaxy s3 or htc one s

I'm glad to hear that im not the only one that thinks the one x is getting sily hot when gaming aslo the phone overheats if you game and charghe the device at the same time
so its not hot as the one x?
what app youse using to find the temp ?
it is the battery that heat up. I try different battery, it give better result to cool down.
