Any notice this? I'll slip it in my pocket, and it will be at around ambient temperature, next thing I know my pocket is getting warm. I'll pull the phone out set it on the desk then it cools down to ambient temp.
In my pocket the screen is facing my body.... is the proximity sensor going nuts or something? Could it be the radio? Any way to figure out what the heck starts drawing power when its in a pocket?
Are you in a bad signal area or something? Might be searching a d that could be why.

Or check and see what's running on the battery info setting or an app. Could be it's running just enough to get hot in your pocket, but has sufficient cooling when on your desk. Usu if my phone gets warm in my pocket, it usu means I've left something running that's polling the GPS (and burning up the battery).
No issues here.
Better than my Galaxy S4.
My galaxy s3 did that when it dropped to 3g and the radio constantly searched for lte. I do not see that as much heat up with g3 as the s3 but i get about same signal. My office is a low signal and drop frequently to 3g.

I have decent 4g everywhere. Maybe it is just a cooling thing. Haven't been noticing it as much lately,only on the daily 20 mile bike ride with GPS and endomondo running.
well i dont even notice its in my pocket so i guess that means mine doesnt get warm lol

Been doing a nightly reboot and haven't had the problem since. Only drops battery when I use it now.
I'm having the same issue with mine. It stays between 35 and 35C according to CPU-Z. That's in the mid-high 90s in Fahrenheit. Also it stays warm no matter what I'm doing

Is your CPU idle being kept awake? Do you have a battery saver program on there that can insure it underclocks your CPU and kills programs/wifi while asleep?

It's probably reading residual heat from the dual core processor. I have heard of people reaching 115 degrees on their phones. The processor can handle it, but excessive heat over prolonged periods might deteriorate the battery quality quicker, that's all

Is it down at the bottom around where the capacitive buttons are in the back?
mine was reading 115F when I was using gps and other apps at the same time. It would not go over 115F and it was in direct light on the dash board. For some reason my phone since that day has been running cooler even when I try to push it and get it to that temp again it wont do it. The incipio feather case helps with holding the phone when it gets that hot lol
Its not the battery that is heating up. It stays cool its the bottom of the phone where I think the cpu and stuff is.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. The dual core is going to get hot sometimes and the battery temp sensor is going to catch some of that heat.

Yeah, that's the processor. It's not the battery getting that hot.
I think I found a use for all the heat lol. I got one of those screen protectors where you have to use fluid to get them to stick. I think the brand is gadget guard. I hope the heat transfers to the screen. I've got a nice 25 min youtube clip playing with screen brightness at 100% and the charger plugged in I think I will run the mp3 player also for good measure see how hot I can get this bad boy.
Don't know if it is relevant but battery heat issue went away from i switched to a custom power plan in battery manager..the night mode was keeping sync alive all the time during day resulting in battery drain and heat.
with youtube going for 40 min straight the screen on full brightness the battery charger plugged in and win amp running its holding steady at 41C.
I decided to try and see how far I can push the multi task. So far wim amp is playing the gps latatuide thing is going youtube is playing and I'm sending and receiving texts at the same time the phone isn't slowing down one bit. I can only get the temp up to 42 right now.
Really guys? 115F is the best you can do?
When my Atrix was plugged into my car dock, running Car Dock, Navigation, and Slacker Radio, SetCPU was reading 62C (144F). 115F is nothin . I've been playing games on my phone and its reached over 55C (131F).
This is my second Atrix so it's not a faulty device. I have a SetCPU profile to underclock over 60C; I had originally set it at 55C but it would underclock too often while playing games and during car dock mode.
IMO, I think Motorola is smart enough to implement some form of heat protection into their phone once the phone reaches a certain temperature. They know it's a dual core phone and I'm sure the engineers expected a lot of heat.
42 degrees for me, really crazy. Do they have warning stickers for this in the US so that they dont get sued?

yea i have around the same temps as you. I have the body glove case on, so do you think that its worsening the overheating or dissipating the heat?
i cant really even have Wifi and battery charging at the same time. the phone gets so hot lol
I notice that when i change my battery heat temps are all over the place , 6 batteries and only 2 off them show a heat range and keep a heat range of 25 to 27 degrees ..just swap out one battery at 25 degrees and put the new one in booted and notice that it is at 37 degrees and holding under no stress . Here the funny thing at 25 the back and screen got very warm to the touch but at 37 the back and screen are cool to the touch
even in standby mode,my atrix's CPU temp is about 42-44 C
and the battery heat is about 35 C
it's kind of crazy because i didn't use any apps though..
my phone is just sit still at my desk
how to get rid of this crazy battery/CPU heat?

I've seen this too. In the car dock with navigation and music I've seen it reach 139°F. It seems to always get hot in the car dock.
I just received my SGS2 this afternoon and I've noticed it getting uncomfortably hot.
All I've done is root the phone, install a few apps and just general exploring/messing around.
The screen is getting very hot, the top half especially.
So is the back of the phone, again the top half mostly and especially the part just to the right of the camera lens.
Any hotter than this and I would be seriously concerned...
Anyone else?
No. Ten characters
HI there
I have the galaxy S2 for few days. Today this afternoon, I also experience the same thing. It get so hot (i can really feel it) and the battery is drained to around 20 % in just about 40 mins. The phone is charge twice.
During the hot time i did
- The battery was around 80%.
- Wifi is on
- facebook app is on.
- the phone was in a sleeve all time and i have not use it at all.
the phone become really got until i restart and close all apps.
I look at the battery usage... the graph was on peak for few hrs (not sure how)
media usage is 28% the rest are below 20%
anyone share words of wisdom? defected phone?
Mine has been pretty cool for the most part. It started to toast my fingers around the back where the camera lens is after dicking around on Angry Birds for 15 minutes but aside from that, no problems with heat.

can you guys post temperature numbers? can pull those from dmesg log, or OS monitor, or system panel, etc.
anything higher than 40C is not the best.

Or more likely, defective facebook lol.
Either way, the hardware has built in overheating protection as it will shut down automatically. Heat is generally no problem - electronics is used to being toasty. My 3Gs can get hot as hell after a surfing session or movie watching, still going strong (or warm), haha.

After being on standby for over an hour, OS Monitor reports (under the battery section, no other section reports temperature) that the phone was 36C, after a few mins of playing this jumped up to 41C then back to a stable 39C.
If the phone (do we still call these things phones?!) gets overly hot again, I will check the temperature and report it here...
Edit: Now that I've taken it off charge, its gone down to 25C
I would check your wifi network. That sounds like a typical scenario when the phone starts to lose wifi and kicks into 3G and back and forth repeatedly. It's trying to get and keep a connection.
I don't have my SGSII yet, but I do have a blind spot in my wifi network that ironically is also the area of the worst 3G coverage in the house. Every phone I've owned will do something similar on occasion.
I also have this issue.
I was playing Angry Birds for about 20 mins and the phone was getting so hot.
Is this safe or should I be concerned?
Received my preorder galaxy s3 today from ATT.. It is simply amazing but device is getting hot at the bottom after prolonged use and while it is charging..
Is it just me or someone else is having similar issues..

The processor is running at all times. Then you also have to take into account screen brightness. With my phone's I notice the amount of time to heat depends on the screen brightness. The brighter the screen the faster it gets warm.
Mine got a little warm but for sure not as hot as my iPhone would get...
Not hot at all. Video, browsing, calls, Skype. Being warm - yes, but it's normal

I had a few hours today when it was warm just sitting in my pocket while in meetings with the screen off, etc... it may have been busy sync'ing emails, but shouldn't have been working too hard yet was definitely warm. Had to take it out of my pocket and set it on the table to cool myself off...

Come on guys we are talking about dual core with 2 gig ram. It's almost a home laptop or desktop. And not to say there is no ****ing cpu fan installed so it normal for the phone to get little hot or warm after some use or charging. Even my ipbone 4s gets hot and that ****, is only running at 800 mhz

I believe many of us are saying that the phone is getting hot while NOT using it - - just while it's in the pocket...
I had it in the car with the charger connected, doing gps navigation while listening to music via BT and the wifi was on. After 30 minutes it was uncomfortably warm bordering on what I would call hot.

Mine gets warms at the bottom, but I've also been using it a lot than I generally use my phone simply because it's new. We have one of those laser temperature sensors at work. I will probably get some readings tomorrow.
yes, mine gets pretty warm too at the bottom
I had an AT&T HTC One X for a few weeks and returned it because I wanted this phone. Same processor. It never got hot or even warm enough to notice when using a lot (charging or not). Still waiting for stock in stores to get the GS3 but this is a real bummer IMHO as it may not be something that root/ROMs/etc. can fix.
I may be wrong about this but I believe metal dissipates heat better than plastic. I'm an electrical contractor and I deal with LED bulbs alot and I've noticed that the same exact bulb in plastic gets hotter than the ones encased in metal... Take that for whatever you may.

Would rather have a "cheap" plastic phone that gets a little warm and can take a droptest better than a heavy "premium-feeling" cold metal phone that blocks the antennas and dents.
So , all of yous posting about your outrageous phone/battery temps...I tried to make mine get hot. I went outside in 96 degree heat standing in direct sunlight for 25 minutes, screen back light turned up to maximum, and playing Goldeneye on N64oid. Wow..closest I could get was 119. It was hot, but it was still quite useable. No 125/130/140/150 degree temps. Btw, to be exact, I bought my Rezound online on November 26th last year.........battery life still sucks @$$...
Oh, and Verizon car chargers are garbage...:-B

At that temp your battery's already overheating.
If you can get it that hot, I'm sure there are things you could do that would make it hotter. Try talking on it for two hours with marginal signal strength. A 125-degree phone is not a pleasant thing against your ear. And you're most of the way there -- don't think your Rezound wouldn't do it.
Maybe you should run that 119 temp against some other types of phones for a reality check, instead of just comparing it to other Rezounds.

The kernel doesn't like when you attempt to manually change the CPU speed (both up or down) so it overheats. My phone's battery mysteriously died after 2 hours of idling once because I didn't know about it.

Might explain why my phone doesnt wake from charging overnight. Damn thing
The hottest mine ever got from use was 109 F. I left it in the car on a hot day once and when I turned it on to check temp it was at 130 F
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Essential Phone stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Have not experienced any heating at all
I am experiencing heating issues, I would like to know if it's just me and hopefully I just have a defective device. The battery Temp stays around 49 Celsius
My phone does get a little hot... Altho I was jus using Google duo which uses a lot of resources I believe... Not 100% if that's the case tho, and it cooled rather quickly after I ended the phone call...

It gets pretty warm when I quick charge and use the phone at the same time but I think that goes for most of the phones out there
It won't get very hot. If the internal temp gets to 44C (112F) it aggressively throttles the big cluster down to about 1.2GHz, which is about half the maximum speed.
At 41C its down to 1.8GHz
At 40C its down to 2.1GHz
So in the span from 39C-43C (102F-109F) The performance drops by 50%.
A 4 degree C temperature span. This is the most aggressive throttling I've seen in any device I've owned.
I noticed this morning during charging the phone is getting too hot to touch around the upper right corner where the 360 camera attaches (which I don't have.)
no heat issues here yet.

Same here I feel it at times of heavy usage and charging
Accu battery says I'm around 107.4 F when I'm charging and using heavy. But that's the hottest it gets. I generally sit it next to a fan whenever I experience this. But it does nothing for internal temp which stays at 107.4 but the outside is cool to touch. And now that I think about it I may be wing about the temp. Not sure if it was 104.7 or 107.4. But that's besides the point.
Yes this phone does get hot at time of heavy gaming/ usage/ etc

I use Ampere, and put a 1x1 widget on the home screen. The widget shows the mA (+/-), battery status (charging/discharging), battery %, and battery temp.
No heat issues, not even playing Pokemon Go.
I ran my phone on battery with Waze on for 2 hours and the display turned off, made a few long phone calls along the way, the phone was very cool IMHO based on other phones I had that I would run Waze on. Only used about 25% of the battery in this 2 hour timeframe with Waze, phone calls, emails coming in and news alerts popping up occasionally. Then connect the phone to a cheap USB-C phone charger that is probably low current and drove another hour and the phone was still cool.
I have not checked temperatures, but from the handling of the phone, it clearly did not feel warm.
So far, so good IMHO.
