hi guys i want your help because my dad has samsung galaxy s2 and he usses 3g 17 hours a day mazimum and he charges hes phone 2 or 3times a day, is it normal???
and for example: when i play modern combat 4 5 minutes the phones temp go to 40C and when i play 20 or 30 min i cant touch the phone can u help me guys?
is there any romor kernel i should install for him?
the phone is running 4.1.2 stock jellybean arabian
please reply fast
thankyou
It's normal for a phone, or indeed any electronic device, to heat up when you give them demanding tasks. In your case, you play Modern Combat 4, so you should expect it to heat up even after a few minutes of gameplay. Same applies for battery drain, you should expect the battery to drain if you play games. 17 hours is average for minimal usage, I get 12-16, and I class my usage to be slightly below average, including 10-30 minutes of NFS: Most Wanted, Trapped Out, or GTA.
Do you use a cover on the phone? And does the phone have overheating issues when you use it normally (browsing social networking apps, newsreaders, internet etc)?
Overheating
I even get overheating when I'm on Facebook App or surfing the web on Chrome!
Especially the part near the rear camera is the hottest!

What worked for me, on International SGS2 with Jelly Bean 4.2.2 Android OS (Jelly Bam 7.6.0 custom MOD).
I followed the instructions in the first post of the following thread to flash KH3 modem instead of the one I had: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656005 (you can do it even without root access.
Then I downloaded NS Tools from Play Store and set CPU maximum frequency to 800mhz.
Now, I get 36 degrees Celsius as a maximum when playing Aporkalypse: Pigs of Doom. Before, it was over 45 degrees. So it got better. Still heats up (cause it's 30-33 in standby), but way better.
I hope this helped!
Same problem for me.. it realy fear me i played asphalt 8 15minutes the phone heat up like hell..will this cause any hardware problem like display..? Two lines are appeared in the top of my display will this due to heat..?

That's perfectly normal as mentioned. If you run CPU/GPU intensive tasks like a game with graphics like that, the phone will get hot. It's a small package that has those hot components fully enclosed with no real way to dissipate the heat (unlike a PC which has fans & heatsinks, for example).
You could do kernel-side stuff like underclock a bit, but you might find your game unplayable if you do that.
So if you want to play games like that on a phone, you live with the heat.
If the lines only appear on the screen when the phone gets hot & go away when it cools down, then it's obviously caused by the heat (which is probably causing the GPU to do funky things).
What heat will do is if you expose those components (CPU & GPU particularly) to those levels of heat regularly, you reduce their life/increase the risk they'll fail at some point. Given most people get new phones every two years or so these days, this isn't normally a problem unless you're spending hours a day exposing those components to that kind of heat. But the other thing involved here is, not all components are created equal in the factory/have the same tolerances to that sort of thing. Manufacturers do their best with QC in this regard, but the same components in different devices (same model though) can vary a little quality-wise. And you have no way of finding this out or testing for it.
So yeah, you can either keep playing games & live with the heat as I said above (and with what I said after in mind), or you can stop & have a cooler phone.
All samsung phones has this deffect..? Can you suggest me a phone(sony,samsung) without this overheat issue with same performance...?

It's not a defect, it's basic physics/electronics design. You make a CPU or GPU do a lot of work (do more/faster calculations, which is what they do in essence), they get hot. Same holds true whether you're talking about a PC or a console, they just have ways of venting that heat.
I have no experience of what other manufacturers phones do, but it's the same with the S4 & I'd be very surprised if other manufacturers phones aren't similar - because they're all enclosed packages with components that get hot crammed into small areas with no way to get rid of the heat. Their design is basically the same, ergo, they'll all behave in a similar way if you do similar things with them.
If you want to play games without heat, get a console or a PC.

I have noticed that after a few days of using, the back of the phone esp. the lower part tends to get warm/hot to the touch after using it for internet via Mobile Data. I haven't noticed this with games or watching videos. My phone is already rooted with CWM installed but I haven't played with the settings of the CPU.
Can you consider this normal? I came from Galaxy S II and the overheating issue was well documented while playing HD Games like those from Gameloft and other intensive activities on the phone., even if the unit is on ICS.
No. They must have sent you a miniature nuclear reactor instead!
Seriously, there are LOADS of threads on this.

I am experiencing the same behaviour, but only if I use the handset for extended periods. It isn't too hot to hold though by no means but I can understand the concerns about battery.
Looking at this though, http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Teardown/9391/1#.T-AmIxeXSjP you can see that the Processor and all the other heat worthy chipsets are located in the lower portion of the handset.
Well that is completely normal in many cases. the lover part consist of the battery and most of the heating units. Mobile data consumes battery. try to play a big game like nova for 20 minutes and check if the heat is still there
I only experience this whenever I use data packet connection for internet. WiFi and other activities like playing HD Games and watching movies, the back portion is relatively cool if not just a little bit warm.
Here are the temps that Ive monitored:
1. WiFi: 29-32'C
2. HD Games: 29-31'C
3. Movies: 29-33'C
4. Data Packet Connection: 29-43'C. Please take note that if the Data Packet (Mobile Data) is on and I leave the phone unattended for almost an hour, the temp. reading slowly goes down to 30'C.
Would you consider these temperature readings normal?
I need expert advise from you guys.
Many thanks!

Hello.
I thinks it's normal...
But if you whant to compare, try that.
Download stability test app from google-play and run CPU/GPU test.
After 16 cpu passes it show me 42c.
Room temp is about 29c-30c
Also the phone is not in my hands τo avoid the temperature of my body and also without any case.
What's yours?
Thanks
I tried that app and tried that test. Mine passes and registered 41.5'C.
Is that ok?
But I think the primary culprit would be the modem, the one responsible for the 3G connection.
I dont think there are available modems flashable via CWM at the moment.

Hmm, maybe you're right.
Try to flash a diff modem from here and compare the result's.
As for flashing you can try MobileOdin. (I have the pro version)
I can't do that now cause i'm at work..
I change the modem as advise by ausdim. It improve my connectivity and I noticed that it went to a maximum of 41.3'C.
Just to be on the safe side, I placed it in room-temperature and put it o a flat surface, to be exact on my writing pad. After 30 minutes of browsing, most of the readings are from 38' and below.
Would you consider this to be a significant improvement?
Hrm, perhaps the US version will be a plus because of the lack of the overheating exynos. I'm ordering mine tomorrow from sprint
which modem did you use ?
Let it run the cpu+gpu test for 19 cpu passes and it was at 39.4°.

I am thinking not to buy yet an SGS3
my first galaxy s3 model got extremely hot towards the bottom of the phone and temps around 49 celecius...i exchanged it through expansys....then my replacement phones back casing had cracks, so i sent it back for another exchange from expansys but that one didn't get as nearly as hot as the first one...hope my third replacement will be ok...sigh...if not i might just go the att route...
My experience
The first two days I had my phone, I was playing with it non stop for about 4 hours and mine got really warm too [bottom 1/3 of phone]
I was playing NOVA 3 with all radios on, and possible a few apps running in the background. The battery lasted less than 3 hours.
I just figured that it would have to as these powerful high performance electronics devices do tend to heat up.
Now, two weeks in, I have not noticed it since, so for me I'd put it down to new phone syndrome.

seems that the tegra 3 does not get noticably hotter than sgs3. nvidia just chose way too high voltages...

I had 3 HOXes before my SIII and they all became uncomfortable hot. Specially the ring around the camera was litterally burning hot, couldn't touch it.
But that was not the reason for returning it, they had other hardware faults.
I have a sony xperia s , and when playing graphic hungry games the phone heats up .
now i understand that the game demands resources from the Gpu and cpu ..
but is it healthy to play a lot of games on the phone ?
what will become damaged ? ( if its not healty )
Thanks a lot any help is appreciated .
Devices will sometimes heat up in normal use but excessive heat for prolonged periods of time can be damaging. Depending on how warm it gets though, you are probably fine.

Hi, I find the same problem sometimes. Heat is to be expected as there is no active cooling like for example on a desktop CPU or GPU. If you're worried about it just quit the app after playing for so long and let it cool down as I find the heat makes it hard to use the phone anyway. One suggestion that may help is switch off your WiFi and 3g when gaming. Honestly if your phone isnt over clocked I wouldn't worry as it should be able to cope with how Sony has configured it.
yeah mine isn't over clocked , i fear overclocking it .. i feel its like cooking your own cpu , logically it might damage it right ?
there's this one game called : "bombshells" the phone really heats up on it .
I didn't download it from the playstore because its not available for my device/country so i got the apk , could it be compatibility issues ? although im dead sure my device can handle it smoothly .
I used to notice significant heat from my HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S2 when gaming. I didn't overclock either but they both got really very hot to touch. My Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn't for some reason (even when overclocked) and my Nexus 7 does get very hot when gaming. I think there isn't anything to worry about. If you've not overclocked it surely can't affect your warranty either.
heat
heat can be a problem yes, there was an app i think that tells you the temp.
Obvious thing to do is to exit the app and shut the phone down till it cools down ,it is normal for any phone to become like that if games ,apps etc are cpu hungry etc
The first thing to break will be the battery, and that'll happen around 45 Celsius. Just stay below that and you'll be fine.
Keeping a low brightness and play without the protection case. I know that my AMOLED screen is the main cause of heat.. Heats up the battery, CPU and screen radiate heat too... phones are too small and too powerful for an optimal temperature. Brightness at minimum is a must I think.

Some games require high end devices to run smoothly and not cause any problems.. In your case, SGS3 didn't cause any since its a Quad Core device and is capable of handling high graphics games..

I have an SXS too.. But you will have to understand that our phone uses Snapdragon S3 processor which is normal to get hot since its the way it was built.. It gets hot soon and makes the phone slow.. U can google about it and read everything related to it.. And its alright to play games on your phone.. But on any Android phone, i suggest u play for around 15-30mins max when u r playing high end games with lots of graphics.. And then give a 30 min break and then continue to play.. Use kernel tuner and check your CPU and Battery temperature.. If they are above 45 degrees, let it cool down.. And i have to say, the latest .96 fw has no issue of heating.. I have played NFS MW and Asphalt 8.. Although Asphalt 8 causes some heat, other high end games never made my phone heat up.. U can try the ROM with a clean install..
devices normall heat up while running apps that use hardware acceleration.
if no app is running, the device ideally shouldnt heat
up.
Thanks for your reply. i got my Nexus 5 now,same thing about heat in games or while on HDMI - thats normal so
got xperia s too, custom rom, cpu overclocked to 1916mhz, play alot on it over longer periods of time too (2 hours) nothing bad happened to it for a year i got it so... working as intended?
Galaxy Note I717 here, heats up after around 5 songs on Cytus while playing in an air conditioned room. Prolonged use (i.e. 15 to 30 minutes non-stop) also causes it to heat up to around the same temperature. OEMs should really make it a point to put cooling systems on all their devices.
Do other hox+ owners also have overheating issues?
Before i bought the hox+ i read many articles about the older one x and the fix for overheating.
I bought the device after it came out and thought that htc cannot make the same mistake again.
Well the device is really awesome thats a fact. But honestly, the non-eco mode is pretty useless as the hox drains the battery
so damn fast. I tried to play Wild Blood in eco mode and it was pretty choppy. Turning off the eco mode just made the game run a few fps faster
and made it as hot as my heater in the night time.
Do you guys also experienced this issue? I'm not sure if 49 - 51 degrees are counted as "too hot" but the device is blinking red and green and
it doesn't feel comfortable to hold the device for too long. I don't even want to mention the gameplay while charging. after around 10 minutes i lost about 10% WHILE CHARGING.
So far i just saw the battery stats thread there but no one really mentioned the temperature while gaming. Would be nice if you guys could share your gaming experience in this thread.
Cheers

Woah i've never seen blinking lights cus it got too hot??? Then again i beat Wild Blood on my iPhone 4 when it first came out and only took me about an hour, lol. Joke of a game, great graphics gameplay blah blah blah but storyline literally takes an hour to beat the game. Then what, no reply value and a waste of space on your device.
Anyways, it's gameloft for 1, they are not and most likely never will be very compatible with tegra devices, that's just how it is. 2. This is a hard working machine bro, it takes a lot of load because it can and have you seen any ventilation on this device or fans installed? Yeah, lack of all that where else is the heat to go? Just glad i have a 1yr manf. warranty and insurance with ATT on this puppy so when it blows itself up one day i get a new one .
I've never turned off power saving mode and play tegra 3 specific games with zero lag! I've also never not once had my device get very hot. At maybe 2 times playing Bard's Tale for about 40min straight and having 5 other apps in the background it started getting 'warm', not at all would i define it as hot. I've watched Netflix movies for 1.5hr straight on power saving mode, device didn't even get warm and not 1 flicker in performance or quality over wifi.
If anything maybe you got a bunk device? If you can't watch netflix or a movie on this thing without it getting really hot and lights flashing like you say, sounds like a bunk phone to me bro. If you can though, it's only stupid gameloft let me take all your money just to play our games that have no replay value and only take an hour to beat, then you have nothing to worry about. Get some tegra games bro, that's what this device is about and once you go tegra games you don't go back, lol!
thanks for your feedback deeznuts. Well except some gameloft games others run pretty smooth in eco mode. It really might be a bad implementation or incompatibility with tegra3. But you are right. I'd say that games like riptide gp look pretty good and do not consume much more batterylife than browsing. Watching movies is also no problem. Mass Effect is also such a batterykiller like wild blood that turns my device into a hot potato.
You are also right that its a fast device without a cooler. But compared to the current iphone generation or the snapdragons it seems pretty hot.
I guess apple did the right thing to patent a cooler for smartphones haha.

Thats a true statement. Its hard to develop comparable chip in less than 5 years.
I just made a few benchmarks and found out that its really the gpu only that is producing the most of the heat. It seems that
Antutu Tester is just stressing the cpu cores but not gpu at all(powersaving off). At least the device stay slightly warm but not as hot as gaming in powersaving mode.
Actually does the powersaving mode also underclocks the gpu or/and the memory or just limiting the cpu to 1,3ghz?
I have attached a few photos taken with a Thermal Imaging Camera of the front and back before and after playing about 10 minutes of Avengers and Dead Trigger. The before photos arent entirely representative of the idle temperatures as I had been using the phone before taking the photos. Also, the colours are not consistently calibrated so a the same colour on two pics doesnt represent the same temperature. One last caveat, I didnt spend time to properly align the normal image with the thermal image.
from what i noticed any high graphics games or game using core power causes to overheat. like need for speed most wanted a few minutes and i can feel the heat of the unit i hope it can be fixed soon.
I don't seem to have any overheating issues but then again i very seldom play games on my phone...Day to day use like browsing watching videos the phone remains cool to warm.
The only time where i felt the phone got hot was when i tried watching high bit-rate 720p mkv using mx player and software decoding. but the phone never got too hot that it become uncomfortable to touch
Thanks alot for posting those pictures. Its getting really hot. I mean if the surface reaches over 40 degrees, how hot must it be inside the phone?
On the other side there is a nice decrease of temp visible in the lower area of the device. Maybe HTC really took it all in account and it really just gets hot but doesn't really affect the Battery.
Actually the batterylife isn't that bad. Today i charged it and it played pirates of the carribean 3 times and something in 720p on mx player (without sound as i didnt had dts codec). The battery went from 100% to 9% after 7.5 hours. Brightness on auto and data and sync turned on(2G).
i am having international version of One X+, no doubt the phone is amazing but not good for playing games or for VIOP calls,
it gets hot within no time when having these activities results unbearable for ears or hands.. any solution ? does HTC knows about it ?
zahid
It's a quad-core phone its normal to get hot with power hungry games ,plus 42c is not really hot . Now if your phone over heats when iddle I mean 52c + and the light are blinking green and orange than yeah its an issue send it to HTC
it happened to me once when i was playing bad piggies for an extended amount of time. and by extended i mean like 30 mins. it was crazy hot and i thought the flashing lights is a notification but later found out that it got too hot.
seriously nVidia, wtf are you doing
My phone doesn`t get much hotter than my old evo 3d even during intesive 3d gaming like nova 3, avengers initiative and sonic 4 just to name a few. It gets hot but not to the point where it starts to burn my figners, my laptop can do this. Sometimes the led start flashing red and green but even in that case the exterior of the phone is only around 35-40 degrees. The phone will automatically turn off if it overheats, that is when you have to worry about overheating and reporting to HTC, so do not worry about damaging it.

Do you play it in saving mode? i tried to play mass effect without saving mode and it took me around 15-20 minutes until the game crashed.
The battery indicator app said overheated with 50.8 degrees. According to HTC it shouldn't be a problem at all:HTC's statement
“If the phone is in normal use without playing games or calling for long time, the temperature should be around 37°C or 38°C.
But if you use your phone to play games or surfing internet for a long time, it will be normal that the temperature rises to around 55°C.“
Why the hell does the game crash then and several apps
are warning me about overheating???

You probably won`t believe me but running games in power save mode actually increases performance, because one cpu doesn`t ramp up as much it forces the other cores to kick in, this means that you have more cores running at a lower clock speed which equates to similar power consumption but far less heat, the reason why games lag is because the cpu is linked to the gpu and throttling when the chip gets too hot, you can desynchronise the gpu by using the renovate gaming boost app however you must be rooted first, great app, most aggressive min frees, optimizes cpu governor automatically and boosts gpu clock (decouples), also the tegra 3 chip was designed to go in and out of its thermal limit.
I've overheated on a few occasions now, all running a quite simple app (in my eyes) - CoPilot satnav!

Like everyone had said it's a quad core etc, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah...
But why should we just accept it as a norm?! It's not right to make something and sell it as your new flagship when it has a MAJOR design fault by overheating so easily.
If HTC knew it would overheat then a redesign should have been done to allow for heat dissipation???

Hello!
I have some concerns about the heat of my phone. I've read some threads, but everybody has different opinions and readings.
Basically, with room temperature at around 27-28, during browsing (especially with lots of scrolling through images) the phone will heat up to 40-41C (even to 42 with some encouraging) within 5 minutes, so the bottom front and back are very hot.
During other use, like writing a few messages in Whatsapp, going though settings in programs, menus etc it will, slowly, but will go up to ~36-37C.
Is it normal, or should I prepare for war with the shop I bought it from?
are you rinning a custom rom/kernel or stock? if so which?
I've found that different roms heat up more than others.
I'm using anaraxia rom 10.3 build and have no heat problems and the battery life is amazing!

Using a stock rom. I'm not experienced enough to flash custom roms yet, and I would also prefer to not void the warranty, at least since I'm not yet certain that my phone is not damaged in some way
I'm not that bothered by the heat, my only concern is whether this behavior is normal or not, and whether I should start the whole warranty war sooner.
Well I wouldn't be bothered tbh.. I've had 42°c while heavy usage and charging. If your phone overheats and burns out send it in then.. No point doing it now unless your warranty is out soon?

41.5, but how much did you strain the device? Today in a room where the temp was +-30-31C, while browsing XDA (which seemed to strain the device a bit) I got up to 44...
Also checked the idle tempretures, it's usually the same as the room temp at the moment, so it's not that it's always hot, just when used.
R: [Q] Regarding heat
Its weird that it should heat up while doing normal stuff...im on international version and last time it heated up was while i was playing modern combat 4 online after 2 hourse while connected to charger....so maybe youve got prpblems if it heats up like that only by viewing messages. I watch videos and browse the internet everyday, it never heats up. Im using stock rom and syiah ketnel...

While doing regular stuff like messages etc it doesn't heat up much. The first test was done while browsing, but I kept it at 40% load and 1400mhz, so it can't not heat up. I think that room temperature matters, I live in a hot area, today was 31C.

I don't know where you live but in most civlized countries you can go in all guns blazing and they have to prove you wrong within the first year or so =) They will, of course, try to tell you sth different...
but will go up to ~36-37C.

I've had that "problem" (well it's not really a problem, only a minor annoyance during warm seasons) with stock rom too.
Didn't have that much experience with other roms and kernels (I'm very picky with features) but I never noticed it on Siyah with Wanamlite.
Stock kernel is far too happy to ramp up clock speeds to slightly improve response time (or so is the theory... practice is not noticeable) so it will heat up your device. More heat of course also means higher battery drain .
Note that a protection around your device usually keeps you from noticing this fact (while the phone gets even warmer due to worse cooling)

I dont know where you live in but in italy you have first to prove them you bought the phone. Then prove you bought it from them. Then youre f**ked anyways cause youll never get a refund, ever...

I've also noticed this heat problem, I'm also on a stock rom.
Using the "CPU power saving" in the Power Saving setting has helped, so I figured it was the kernel ramping itself up.
It's not that noticeable to run at a lower cpu frequency except that some games are sometimes choppy now
The fact that stock rom likes to ramp up the clock speeds is correct. Just by simply fast scrolling back and forth through pages on forums etc makes it go up to 1400mhz and keep it at 40% load, that's why I get the higher temps.
Is it normal, that the phone gets really hot, if i play some games !? i mean, sometimes it's so hot, that i can't touch the screen ...
Completely normal

Mine heats up like crazy if I just use Wi-Fi intensive applications (Skype etc) while charging!!
What about playing videos whilst charging? It heats up like a freshly baked pie!!

Of course it gets hot if you do anything CPU intensive for any length of time (even more so on charge). The CPU has no cooling, no effective heatsink & is in a very enclosed space near other components that also get hot (including the battery). It's not like a PC CPU which has at least one fan & a heatsink (and vents), not to mention plenty of clearance (compared to a phone at least) between components in a desktop PC at least which allows heat to dissipate better.

OC to like 1.4 GHz, OC GPU, Max screen brightness, charge and play graphic intensive games :good:
It's normal
I know this is an old thread, but I just started having this problem. I've had my Galaxy S2 since March 2013 but only in the past week as the phone been heating up and draining battery power to almost nothing in a matter of four or five hours. I used to be able to use the phone multiple times over the course of the day with no issue of heating or battery power, but ever since Friday 12/13 I've had this problem. It gets so hot I keep it off until I need it, and I'm used to keeping it turned on. Even keeping it in airplane mode doesn't keep it from heating up. I've had other Samsung Android phone users tell me of the same thing happening only in the past week, not before that. Any idea what it could be?
