More likely the temp inside the car.
Did you also have it also connected on charge?

I don't think it should never reach 40 celcius temperature as mine doesn't feel even warm when I play sone heavy games.

It definitely will get hot, I remember watching my son at swimming lessons last week.
I am in Bangkok and was outside using the phone extensively on 3G data, ambient temp 35+ Celsius. Can't remember exactly how hot the battery got, but sure out read well into the 40s.
Didn't have any hardware or software issues though.
As far as exchange goes, you could try, but they may reject the claim as you most likely were operating the device outside it's design limits.
From the Pg 172 of the GT-I9300 User Manual: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201206/20120613110217963/GT-I9300_UM_EU_Icecream_Eng_Rev.1.0_120607_Screen.pdf
Do not store your device in very hot or very cold areas. Use your
device at temperatures from -20 °C to 50 °C
• Your device can explode if left inside a closed vehicle, as the internal
temperature can reach up to 80 °C.
• Do not expose your device to direct sunlight for extended periods of time
(on the dashboard of a car, for example).
• Store the battery at temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C.

All hardware is not exactly the same, so your device may be less torelant to excessive heat than others or vice versa.
Hope this explains it.........

Overheating will cause bootloops. I used to use my phone at work as a wife hotspot because it was faster than our work net. I plugged it in and it would always die after two hours from overheating. Finally rigged up a way to keep it in the freezer lol

guys as we speak now the temp is 31° meaning I'm just doing nothing but normal browsing...so this is normal?
the main question is does s3 heat up? or mine now is after i exposed it to excessive heat?

I've just been browsing with WiFi & XDA solidly the last hour, and just ran a AnTuTu Benchmark test. Battery @ 35.6 degC / Inside ambient temp approx 25 degC Edit, after 5 mins cooling down, back down to 30 degC. Normal ........

Based on what you said, all seems back to normal.
To summarise;
It WILL heat up, depending on environmental conditions and also your using habits. CPU and GPU intensive apps and time spent on this state, and also general use whilst charging etc will heat it up.

+1 to the "It's fine"
Pull out the battery, there it'll list a safe operating temperature. The battery in my phone is "Safe" up to 60c, but it probably shuts itself off at around 55ish. 45 is nothing to a phone, so don't worry.
You're probably just being paranoid, paying super close attention to any kind of "Warm" after the overheating incident. It was probably reaching those same temps prior to leaving it in the car.
Hell, I left my Evo 3D (Super famous for overheating) on my black leather seats, in the summer, plugged in, and GPS running, for an hour or so. It shut itself off and wouldn't turn on for 45ish mins while I let it cool down... And it's running just fine now. Lol
This problem just started today. My phone is currently charging and the left bottom part of him is very hot.I removed the battery for a couple a minutes,but it still overheats. I am using OlloSII without any OC/OV. What can i do?
EDIT: 33 degrees when it's not in charging,38 when charging.
Is this normal?

I am pretty sure he actually means room not rom, as in it wasn't a typo And the answer to that would be the radiation from the sun or a heater Like for me, I live in the UK and it is the middle of summer and it is 13 degrees C out side, so my phone doesn't get that hot, but if it was 30 degrees out side (not in the UK obviously) the phone would be a lot hotter before you start using it.

Is it a stock charge or aftermarket? If the latter, check the Output current. If your stock is 1A and you're plugged into a 1.5A charger, this could heat it up.

it's a stock charge.
I installed wathdog..how can i find if there is any rogue app? I don't even know what that means..
When i installed the litening v3.2 on my phone i put it charge on the night and when i checked it in morning it was hot as the hell and showed like 50% of a battery. I dont know what is was but it was just in one night.
OK - I'm a Brit living in Saudi. Here, it is usually above 40C most of the year, with excess of 50C during some months. Everybody loves their mobile gadgets AND all the gadgets work - surprise surprise.
Recently, my wife left her SII on a wet table - nothing too drastic; i.e. water barely leaked into the battery compartment. Shock horror - now, it is unusable for more than 10 seconds at a time, due to the heat generated by the battery - not due to the USB charger.
I think all the SII units short themselves out quickly with dense water vapour, or a bit of rain. They continue to work, but overheat (due to the short circuit).
At least, this is my experience of the SII - otherwise, an excellent phone.
Hello,
I'm curious. I am not sure this was how it was before but I notice that when using the phone while charging (with the AC charger), I would still drain battery. Is this normal?
Thanks

No, it is not.
While on charger you should gain on battery, not discharge.
At least if you use phone in a normal way.
With BT and GPS navigation on (and some data traffic) my phone gains charge...

Yes, it may happen. It depends on the mAh of the power source.
Usually the USB port delivers less mAh then the AC power source.
In that case, if you are running a demanding application (games especially) the power consumption could exceed the charging rate.
It's possible, yes.
Depends on what the phone is doing at the moment, i.e. when it's on 100% CPU load for example.
Happens everytime I encrypt my S2 a rather full internal and external SDs storages, because the phone is "doing a lot of work".
If you then maybe add enabled WiFi, BT, GPS.... yeah, the power gets sucked out of the battery faster then the AC can pour new one in.
Only thing I'm doing is using tweetcaster while opening the ocasional web page with Dolphin browser, nothing intensive. I'm using the standard AC charger that came with the phone.
This morning after unplugging it, I noticed that in a couple hours time lapse, the phone was hot all the time and lost about 30% battery while on standby. So, I rebooted it and it stopped feeling hot on touch. Battery drain is still somewhat fast but not as fast as this morning.
I'm attaching a Battery Stats screenshot in case it helps.
Thanks
P. S. I'm using Hydra h2o rom

And there is the root of all evil.
And the phone getting hot also hints at high CPU load.
I am using TweetCaster myself a lot, and sometimes the app goes crazy and uses 100% of the CPU -> high load -> hot phone and empty battery.
I can reproduce it by deleting the temp folder of TweetCaster on the int. storage and either waiting some time or rebooting, the app will go wild at 100% CPU load for sure.
Ah ok then. Lol. Now I know what to do! Unless, do you recommend me another twitter app that is more battery friendly
Thanks sir.

Well, it's a good app, I don't wan't to bad-talk it.
Sometimes you just need to keep an eye on it, esp. in situations where the int. storage is not available for apps (like when connected via USB mass storage to the PC).
Usually killing it off from taskmanager is enough, on some not-so-often occasions I needed to "kill -9" the process from a shell (Termnial Emulator app or via adb).
I also got a neat little thing called "CPUNotify" (on Google Play) running on my phone, it adds a little icon to the notification bar that always shows you the current CPU load - that way you can literally "see" spikes in load once they happen.
Some time ago I had the same problem.
The problem was on the original Samsung charger. It has shown that it loads, but it lost battery.
I bought another charger and now it charges
its possible. I see this situation everytime I travel. In car I use stock car charger and on phone ussually runs navigation, video recording software and plays music. And battery is drained!!! If additionaly I start My Track, then 7-8 hours and phone is dead. On hot days even had situation, when battery reached 65C temp and phone refused to charge it. So at this point SGSII is real crap

My girlfriend has a problem with her phone. She had 20% of battery last night and charged it overnight. Her wifi was off and she wasn't using it since it was charging and decided to sleep. But when she woke up this morning, her battery only went up to 60%. It's charging very very very slow. What do you guys think is the problem?
She hasn't rooted her phone yet so it's still fresh. LOL
use the phone for a week or get the battery calibration app from Play .

Battery calibration apps doesn't even work.. They just removes the batterystats.bin file which is the battery status counter of what applications that has drained your battery and similar information like total screen on time.
You can find it under settings -> battery !

My wild guess is that the battery is screwed. How long does she had the phone?
either your charger or your charging port is at fault. . One thing you can do is blow air in the charging port to see if it works. Another step u can try is while your phone is getting charged, remove the battery for 10 seconds, and then when u put it back in, let the circle that is shown load one time and then press the power button.I've had the same problem as you do, so my advice would be to take it to the service center.
Hope this helps

Get galaxy charger current app from a play store. It will tell you how much current is being fed to your charger and phone l. Test different sockets and chargers and cables to see which works best.
The normal for me is 900-1000

Hello Guys,
As the title says i want to use the phone without battery but with charger plugged in. This can be really helpful in gaming as there will be less heat ,unlimited power and i wont have to charge the device again and again (i know i can do the same with battery but thank my battery wont live for long)
In simple words RUN DEVICE WITHOUT BATTERY!
Anyone of you have any idea to do this?
Sounds Insane
I think so its not posible!
Althoug you may google it, you might find something!
