May be some rogue app is causing it, how is your battery life, any wake locks?

Backup and format.. Reload apps one by one and do some research on the app you think is causing it..
Try another kernel first..!

Phone getting hot

I don't know if anyone is having the same issue but my phone is getting hot for no reason or from minimal use. Does anyone know what the problem is? I suspect a hardware issue but I am not sure. Thanks!

overclocking?
Kernel panics? charged for too long?
Maybe this is the case with charging too long but this occurs when I'm not charging as well as charging. It has also happened on multiple roms including stock. I'm running bionix 1.3.1

So i guess is data too ..because i was downloading trigger and the phone was using alot of data and i got hot...besides that its get hot when alot of use ..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes lots of data use and over clocking both make the phone get hot. This is from the amount of current demand for these actions. I would suggest you get System Panel app from the market. You can monitor what's going on on your phone with this app and better figure out which action is the one causing the most demand.
Thanks guys for your help

RR 3.0.9 + Siyah is bad...

Hey there.
Im running RR 3.0.9 with siyah for a while now. And I got the feeling that it is worse than the stock samsung rom. It's soo slow some times. And freezes sometimes which forces me to do a battery pull.
And the most annoying thing is that when i turn on my Data. My wifi randomly turna on amd off when im on Data... soo annoying..
How to fix all these? Any other kernels working better with RR than Siyah?
Kind regards

You can try Dorimanx V. 5.90 and use default settings at least for a day before tweaking.
Even with your existing kernel use default settings and clear delvik cache fix permissions which help the stability.

Where can I find the DoriManX? I cant find it anywhere on google. Could you please give me a link? Kind regards

Not the JB kernel from DoriManX? As rr 3.0.9 is based on 4.1.1
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
It is for JB (not MALI) and ICS . If it is for MALI based then you should use 7.xx . I am using rr 309 with Dorimanx 5.89 as of now.

no issues in rr 3.0.9 + siyah kernel
never had an issue with rr 3.0.9 + siyah kernel...it super smooth in transition plus battery friendly. i wonder why you're experiencing such things even in dorinmax??
And another freeze. Resulting in a battery pull.... Freeze while using twitter. Thats worse than stock rom. Still got the issue of the wifi turning on and off after 3g has been enabled.

Well, that pretty heavy usage...
I can do that intentionally by repeatedly backup restore system in recovery, 3d game with all Wi-Fi, GPS, BT, highest brightness...etc
But my daily usage costs me about 250% of battery as I have 3 battery with me...

Ah well overclocked so it uses more battery. Playing games while listening to internet radio on 3g takes a large toll on batteries.. just bought a portable charger to compensate for it
As for the original post, I take it you left it overnight, or haven't used it much for a good few hours. 10-20% drain is normal for a 8hr standby, unless you have battery draining apps (most IM apps, google now, gmapps etc)

Thanks for all the reply.. really helpfull i got a difrent question a really noob 1.. i root my phone.. now how do i remove the pre install apps on my s3?? Do i need a specific apps.. as for the battery issue ny cable already start to act funny it took me 4hrs to get to 81% from 43% gonna change the cable and see if it works.. huuu

One method is to navigate using a file explorer to /system/app and delete apks you don't want. Not the stock one. Use astro or es file explorer. Titanium backup is a very useful tool for backing up apps and app data. Can also be used to uninstall system apps. Both methods require root permission.
As for which apps you can delete, search for safe apps to delete on xda or google and you should come across a thread.

[Q] When playing emulators on phone (gameboid, etc.) Or surfing internet phone will s

As the above reads, my phone will shut itself down if I'm playing games or am on the internet. Usually its when I'm on tumblr and have gone waaaay down the pages. I'm running PACman 19.3.0, jellybean 4.1. I'd love to know if there's anything I can do, just short of reflashing to my old CM 9... Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

There could be a lot of things making this happen. It seems to happen more under heavy load as you stated, maybe try another kernel? Are you underclocking/undervolting?
Sent from my GT-i9100 using xda app-developers app
I was thinking it might have something to do with my clock speed. I'm not sure what is a safe speed to move it up to. I'm running at 1100 MHz right now. I think the Max on the scale is 2000. I was also thinking it could be battery related, as the issue does not occur when the phone is charging.

I am using stock deodexed rom with pure performance TX flashed over it and though it is basically lag free... It is overheating whenever I use 3g Internet...

It has nothing to do with ROMs or software. And yeah it's quite normal.
Any way to take control..?

Try checking which apps max out your CPU. At least you know what's causing it.
Then you can use profiles to limit the CPU activity for the apps.
As per samsung it is normal and natural.. you should not be worried about it..

It's normal.
Samsung have already mentioned in manual that overheating Is normal for our phone.
Sent from my GT-I8552 using xda app-developers app
alternatively you may want to underclock your cpu... I think Project Engine Kernel has that feature
