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.
EDIT: for anyone wishing to find out their CPU temp, buy SET CPU and place the widget on your homescreen.

These games are really GPU intensive so my bet is you slow down your gaming. I mean take breaks from time to time. App, I don't know any but you may find it and it may need root. Plus do you have a case on? If yes then it is one of the reasons why your phone is heating up so much. Can you also specify the position where the Phone feels the hottest.
Hit Thanks if I helped you.

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.
Omega v34 with Siyah 1.8 kernel. CPU OC 1.6GHz and UV around 100~150mv for each frequency. GPU OC to 600MHz no UV.

No sh!t, gayloft basically hate android Nova 3 has better graphics then mc4 and that runs buttery smooth and doesn't make me heat up. Gayloft are simply apple fanboys. Even though android has more downloads a hour for mc4

yep will do, just a few last things, i modified the UV a bit. My phone started to crash alot so i changed them a bit. for 3 hours of gaming my CPU went up to 50C still kinda warm but hey, it quadcore. to keep it at 30C or 24C idle you would need a water cooler. LOL
Ah yeah. My settings are a bit low.. Stable enough but hey every device is different. Rarely felt my battery warm to the extent I go oh it's hot. Good luck with mc4.

Is it possible that force gpu rendering,in developers settings, may heat up a device faster while playing, rather than keeping it disabled?

Hi everybody. Well I'm running ics Zen 1.2 and my phone seems to get really hot. I have bat stats widget and I will wake the phone up and it will be in the 90 degree range without doing anything. So I checked CPU spy and its mostly in 100mhz most of the time. So my question is are all ics roms like this or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

I've flashed a lot of ics roms and have never experienced that. How old is the battery?
Edit: you said that the cpu is @100mhz most of the time. Is that while it's disconnected from the charger/usb?
The phone should go into deep sleep when it's not connected to usb and not being used. I wonder if something is keeping the phone awake. There are apps in the market that can show you wakelock info.
Its weird because in standby my phone will be at about 90 degrees and if I get on it to watch YouTube or get on the web it shoots up to about 100 degrees in no time and I know its killing my battery. I have the new1800 mah battery
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
100 degrees is nominal when it comes to high heat being bad for the battery. My old phone (Motorola XT720) was notorius for running hot, so I did some research about it and found that you really need to get worried when it starts to hit 50c or 120f+/-. This is when it slowly start to degrade the interior.
I got my old motorola up to 132f one time playing a wicked game of **cough**scrabble. I just backed out, closed the app down and let the phone sit for a few minutes. No harm no foul.
Just for a frame of reference, I have the MLB At-Bat app to listen to baseball games when I am at work and something about that app makes it run hot. 3rd year in a row I've had it and each year it runs hot when I am listening to a game. I have a temp widget on my home screen it and when I listen to a game it hovers around 104f. Knowing that 50c/120f is the danger zone, I don't worry about it too much.
If I can find that old thread of mine, I will post a link for you. Bunch of info in it but I can't search for it now.

My Droid 3 used to run at over 100 degrees fahrenheit... topped out at 114 once. I had to replace it... too hot in my pocket, lol.
I just turned off power saver and was doing browsing and such and I got to 40 Celcius is that something I should worry about?
Yeah I can't get it passed 40 in my house which is pretty cool but still I live in very hot climate so in scared if I take this thing outside where the air is about 39 C and with a big case on it, that it will overheat.

OK at the moment I am in an air conditioned room. Droid X2 26 °C (78.8 °F) ,Droid Bionic 21 °C (69.8 °F), the Droid X2 has a case cover both have data off ,Droid Bionic is bare naked hence the difference in temp's.
Both are sitting relatively idle. Now say I turn on data start surfing the net, downloading, playing a game etc. temps don't go much above 40 °C (104°F). If ambient temperature is higher such as living in hotter climate, no air conditioning, or outside YMMV.
These phone's will turn themselves off if temps get to high. I believe your temps sound normal.
Hope This Help's
If I do heavy tasks it heats to 41 °C... My ambient temperature is about 26 °C, which is quite high. I think 40 °C under load is normal.
Over 9000...

Some phones do run hotter than others.
Had a blue 16gb for a while and not once did I feel it get warm in my hand. Not long ago sold the 16gb one and got a 32gb and instantly noticed it got warm in my hands. Not hot but enough to take notice. In the 40's. And it's winter here.
Still, I don't worry about it too much. My S2 also got pretty warm and at some stages got over 50 degrees celcius. Still, it never let me down.

I've noticed my T999 rooted stock seems a little hot recently even though it wasn't doing much. I don't want it to be warm because it's distracting. It feels warm in my pocket, and when I grab it it feels warm (the bottom third). Each time it bothers me, because I know that heat is wasted battery.
If I was playing a 3D game or watching a streaming HD video, then OK if it gets a little warm but not if it's just sitting idle. It's going to drive me nuts if I can't make it stop.
I wish there was a Widget that could simply instantly force the phone into a "deep sleep" state where it could still receive a phone call, but not actively do anything else.
The bottom third of my phone heats up a lot when playing games, doesn't matter what game, could be a game of cards, and it would heat up the same as say... Nova 3... or Asphalt 7...
Not sure why it does it, but it does do it sometimes when multi tasking, I am running Omega v30. But always happened since I changed it from original firmware.
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.

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.

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.

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

Any 3d game will heat the phone, it can damage the battery.

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