Phone gets really hot while playing Nova 3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my phone is getting really how while playing Nova 3. So hot that the CPU has to throttle (downclock in order to keep the temperature down). This also makes my game lag and when I quit the game the phone is pretty slow too till it cools down again.
Should my phone even get so hot that it has to throttle without even having it overclocked?
I have noticed that other games, like Dead Trigger which is just as advanced graphically (altough I'm aware it might have to do more with the CPU usage), don't make the phone this hot.
This behaviour was on one of the latest stock ICS roms for the S3. I´m on jelly bean now but I don´t have a feeling it has changed.
Edit: Okay guys I really appreciate all the feedback but my question is whether other people's phone get so hot too. I am not going to root or downclock anything. I just want to know if this is normal.

Power saving on? Stock kernel?

No and yes? Don't see what is matters though.
Power saving downclocks the cpu so it should get even less hot. So that logic doesn't really make sense.

Underclock the gpu also. Turn off power saving when playing the game, if you have it on the game is trying to run difficult process with less power which makes the phone work extra harder than it would when power saving is off.

Yeah, that's where the Exynos is located.
You could try using a custom kernel (Siyah) and undervolt CPU + GPU. If your CPU is able to run stable at -50mV or even -100mV you'll significantly reduce the heat production. Mine unfortunately only stays stable at -25, otherwise I'll experience random reboots.

Yeah underclocking will help a lot. But try to reduce your gaming sessions also.

Are you charging while playing? If you are, don't. It causes overheating. Play without the charger plugged in and charge only after you are done playing.

That is normal operations for a phone. It will get hot because circuits are being supplied with electricity.

you like me are probaly on jellybean? am i not right? this game works on ics only as far as i know. Along that line has anyone on jellybean got it to work?.
Back to the topic what are u playing mp? or single player? multiplayer is more cpu intensive than sp, also are you on MAX BRIGHTNESS? if so lower it you will see a difference . Flash a custom kernel and underclock the cpu/gpu .

Well after 10 minutes it's pretty damn hot. The framerate is ok but not nearly as good when it just booted.

Mine gets hot in nova 3 but it remains warm not hot in Shadow gun and uses very less battery...
I think thats because nova is not optimized for quad core . So it uses one core at full frequency producing heat and draining battery faster than shadow gun.

Netflix = phone on fire?

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.

Alright what governor r u guys using? I'm using smartass2 and although I het excellent batt life when screen is off, it is a bit choppy and not as smooth as I would like.and it drains fairly fast when screen is on or plating angry birds for like 5 mins. I'm looking for something that's a good balance between smoothness and most importantly battery.
any ideas?

Battery stats on intellidemand are ok.. I'm a heavy user tho I use another OEM battery and an external charger and switch out thru the day.. I get about 1.5-2.0 hrs of screen time in about a 9-12hr period depending on what I'm doing.. sometimes I'll wake up and drain it dead in an hour and a half (dl, surfing, forums, texts few calls) I'm undervolted -50mv across the board. And set at 1.56ghz on viperrez using dsbs kernel..

If you're using DSB's kernel (I am), his latest has pegasusq governor on it. It seems to turn on the 2nd core more often. I use system tuner pro and CPU Usage Monitor. CPU usage monitor allows you to put icons on the notification bar showing CPU speed AND cpu utilization for both cores. So you can see whats going on. Also system tuner allows you to 'force' the second core on. You can do this with Ondemand with good results. IMO

It's normal since the glass and back are really thin (its usually at the bottom of phone), mine does the same if you use it a lot and have the screen kept on
Nothing to worry about.
I would check your battety stats though and look for something called media, this scans your media making your s3 bit hot.

It's the CPU that's heating up, that's near the bottom of the phone, unless the temp is in the 70s (celcius) there is nothing to worry about. The CPU will automatically throttle itself if it gets too hot (can't remember the exact value on the Exynos 4400, someone will though)
If you overclock it will heat up more, demanding activities like playing games etc will heat it up more.
If you are really concerned you can download System Tuner, then in there go to settings, and choose notification packages, then you can download the temperature package, and enable it, this will show live updates showing the temperature of the CPU in the notification bar. System Tuner can be used as root to overclock etc, but to show information like frequency and temperature it does not require root.
If. Downgraded the phone and stopped it what would be the disadvantages performance wise?

Normal.
Just be glad it isn't an iPhone 4 or iPad 2, otherwise it would have self-combusted in your hands.
My S III gets REALLY hot when playing Asphalt 7, to the point of getting artifacts in the screen and eventually crashing the device.
I really don't care much about it. It is under warranty, so if I get any damage from that I'll harass Samsung so much they'll have to give me a new one.
When my phone was on ICS i never felt it getting warm while browsing the web, checking emails and changing system settings. Since upgraded to JB, I've noticed the phone was getting warm at the bottom (near the charging connector) 10 minutes after performing the above activities. The heat was definitely generated by the CPU, not the battery.
I used an app called Temp+CPU V2 from the Play Store to check CPU temperature. When the phone is on idle it hovers at around 25 degrees; after 10 minutes of use it goes up to around 35-38 degrees. By this point i can feel the bottom part of the phone was getting quite warm.
Can you guys test this and confirm whether your phones are behaving similar to mine?
Thanks!

CPU, GPU heat up when playing modern combat 4 [SOLVED]

I bought the game. Btw
When I play the game, my device heats up and just wondering if there is a app for showing the CPU temp. And what is the safe zone for the CPU? But I really need that app its not only mc4 but that my main question. I played for 2 hours straight, ended up with 12% battery and the phone felt very hot.

my phone heats up in the bottom right. I don't use a case, i am fully rooted and have a custom rom. i don't have any way to read what temperature my phone is heating up to but at a guess, i would say around 50 C or something i don't know My old s1 actually plays the game smoother than my s3!!!! i think the heat is throttling it. i haven't overclocked my phone.
The processor is at the bottom so it will definitely heat up there.
The best thing you can do is to take a break when playing for a long time. Don't charge when playing, turn power saving off when playing (works for me).

I'm having no trouble playing MC4 for many hours.. Charging just makes a little warmer than it normally would be. Something happened one time when it went really hot, but cooling it down and reboot, and nothing happened ever since. I'm pretty sure there's a monitoring widget app on play store, but there's a menu in SetCPU that shows current battery level and temperature.

Ok so i know that this could be posted before and i apologize for not searching but im on vacation and net speed is awful. So whenever im playing real racing 3 my phone heats up like an oven..And is it because of excessive cpu and gpu work or just that game isnt optimised enough?

try installing custom rom and undervolt your CPU and GPU just little bit if your phone is rooted... It might help.
