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?

Any 3d game will heat the phone, it can damage the battery.
it because of excessive cpu and gpu work

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

Hey,
I got the galaxy for some days now, I installed better battery stats and for some reason I see in the Cpu states the from 1ghz and above all the bars are empty, and like the phone don't use them.. I tried to play angry birds and some other games and try to do quadrant test to see if it reach the higher Cpu speed, but with no help.
The maximum is 1ghz.
Does anybody knows something about it? Maybe android doesn't support it or something :/
Thanks, Elad

You have powersave enabled.
Go to settings -> powersave to set it.
Ok probably those frequencies are not used frequently so they became 0% in bbs. In Cpu spy I see them used for something like 16 seconds..

I just downloaded the free promotional version of Modern Combat 3 from the Samsung Store. I noticed that my phone overheats a lot when i start playing the game. Is it normal because when i play asphalt 7 its not so hot.
Please provide a solution.
EDIT: It had gone upto 56deg celcius in 2-3 minutes of gameplay.
I'm a product of the system i was born to destroy!
Is power saving on? Are you on a custom kernel or rom?
I'm on siyah kernel, uv and oc, and my phone was heating playing nova 3 on Wi-Fi, then i turned off power saving and the heating reduced.

Try to underclock your GPU Speeds & undervolt your GPU Voltages. That can help lower the heat
uc and uv helped significantly. Temp didnt go above 50.

here u go
i also undervolted each GPU step by 50mV.
I'm a product of the system i was born to destroy!
EDIT: I changed the last 2 steps to 300 and 350.
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 .

I'm not rooted.. Also I don't think the gpu is even the one producing all the head as the CPU throttles.

Normal, if you are on stock, not overclocked, then you have nothing to worry about.

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.

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.

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.

Do you have any overclocking enabled or other kernel settings tweaked. Or do you have intense games running allot of the time that will also cause over heating issues.
