My S3 heats up really fast when playing Clash of Clans... 5-10 min of gameplay.. and the bottom part of the phones gets really hot... somewhere around 50c or more
i can play other much more resource extensive games like brave frontier or Knight and Squires or sometimes watching movies for hours and the phone barely Heats up
btw.. what's on the bottom part of the phone that's causing the heat ? the ARM SoC ?
i kept changing between different ROMS and kernels... but same issue
It's the CPU, your game is probably coded to use all four cores at the same time -others may only use one.

You're right, whoe SoC is at the bottom, you just have to deal with it, i mean, phones don't have coolers
Also, it's way smaller heating than on S2, it's SoC was at the top by the camera, and the camera cover was metal, and when it heated up it could be so hot it just burned and your finger stuck to it, so, be happy, our S3 is 'cooler' than many other phones (atleast what i know).
Cheers.
Ok thanks guys... wow that 50+ c isn't considered hot
so are they any apps that can dynamically adjust clockspeed based on the Apps/games launched ?
No problem with playing game for me also..yea it can get hot sometimes when playing *heavy* games but in general its ok

I just noticed that under heavy use such as decoding mkv the phone can get a bit hot. Especially in the upper part of the display under the samsung logo.
Anyone else experience this?

My SGS2 gets fairly hot when the CPU is busy on the backside right below the Camera, which is pretty much in the same place, just on the backside instead of frontside.
I'd say its normal behavior. I've noticed it is especially bad with applications or games, that use a lot of CPU cycles.
Being as powerful as it is, i wouldn't be surprised if the SGS2 uses up more power when the CPU is active then older phones. Power usage for doing the same amount of work should be lower then older phones. However some applications don't limit their CPU usage, and therefore you may end up using more power (phone getting hotter) then you would on older phones.
Well it is after all one of the thinnest and most powerful smartphones on the market.
Power = Heat
Thin = Little cooling space = Heat
Heat + Heat = Much heat
No way it's overheating though. I think that would be possible if you overclocked it but I'm fairly sure they've tested it for overheating with stock frequencies and voltages. If you read the manual it probably says that you're not supposed to use it for long periods of time in direct sunlight to prevent overheating, just like it says in almost every phone manual. At least iPhone shuts itself down if it gets too hot and I wouldn't be surprised if modern Android phones did that too.
Hi, I'm no expert, but 70°C is quite a lot, isn't it?
And I was only browsing market...

You said it yourself, "Heavy use", the S2 is just a handset after all, not PC with liquid cooling or something.
The CPU produces a lot of heat, it's a powerful CPU, the device is thin, so:
powerful hot CPU + thin choking case + long time heavy use + your warm hands all over the device playing games and surfing the web etc = very hot device.
Try maybe to change the kernel !
Not sure if it's normal but once my phone went up to 53 degrees c while charging. I unplugged it and waited, it went back to charging at 46 degrees c.

I've recently purchased carcassonne from the market and while I love the game, it does seem to eat up the battery pretty quickly. So i'm wondering if its just me or are other folks experiencing this too?
Bit of background, i'm running Cognition 1.51 on an sgs2 and while playing the game it looks like it consumes around 58% (average) cpu. This to me seems excessively high. Carcassonne for those that are not aware of it is a tile based board game, which doesn't seem to me to be a candidate for a fast cpu. Yep, i could understand that the AI might require CPU but surely not for the rest of teh game.
So question is, does anybody else have the game and do you notice high cpu usage on it?
I didn't play that game but 58% consumption after how long playing? Do keep in mind that a playing a game is CPU intensive task, so CPU will be hot and battery will drain much faster than other stuffs.
Regards.
Ordinarily yes I'd agree about games and CPU usage. But for this type of game I'd expect it to have very minimal requirements.
Also I started up a fresh game and left it waiting for me to play my turn. Leaving it waiting for twenty mins and when i checked utilization it was still 30%. Given that there was no animations or screen activity that does seem excessively high.
Am trying out miui rom now to see if that makes any difference.

Please help..I am really getting hopless and disappointed at this phone..I am using lite'ning rom and before that the original rom i am still experiencing extreme overheating when playing games like Asphalt, What am I supposed to do what's wrong?
i'd really appreciate if someone could help.
Are you charging at the same time?
What is the surrounding air temp?
Are you overclocking?
Have you tried a different kernel?
Have you tried another battery?
I would expect it to get quite hot playing games like that for an extensive time,.....
How long?
What is your actual battery temp?

Where did you get ashphalt from? the reason i ask is because i think i saw it in the samsung apps store as S1 only.
And how hot is it actually getting?
Are you charging while playing?
Thank you all for your concern. I am not charging. Original battery with temp around 39'c. No change to the rom (lite'ning). Will changing the kernel resolve the problem? Games are all from Gameloft fir GS2. The phone gets really hot that I can not hold it!!!!
Isn't Asphalt just one of those games that doesnt fully support the dual-core cpu? I think it is the same problem with Gangstar:Miami Vacation. The game runs both cores at 100% which makes your SGS2 VERY hot.
I'd advice not to play any of those games, that are not updated for dual-core CPUs
I had the same problem mate with lite'ning/stock rom 2.3.3. Changed rom to Batista70 and heat issues deduced significantly, also changed kernel. Try changing both custom rom & kernel to find best combo for your phone use.

I had this issue while playing "Medieval Castle Defense", but not on "Asphalt".
Too much undervolting especially on the higher frequencies can cause overheating while running resource hungry app and games. [Says Tegrak himself! ]
If 39 degree is what you call too hot, my battery sometimes reaches that temp while surfing using hspa.
I experienced the same temps a while ago playing Asphalt 6 but i changed the settings SETCPU and from then on I have only top temps at about 40 maximum.

I was wondering if anybody has this problem, my battery gets very hot while playing games like temple run or angry bird! I'm on paranoid ROM 2.99.

My battery never gets hot, but the processor always does. Is the warm spot at the bottom of the phone? Because if it is, then its the processor, which is very normal for a dual-core/ quad-core phones when doing tasks like heavy gaming etc.

i had issues before as well, i was on nottach an overclocked kernel 1.3ghz, not just a normal heatup coz it really smells burning circuits inside, just below the sim card slot where the processors are. :cyclops:
Is there a good phone out there that is able to not heat up so badly compared to other phones when playing games? like maybe in playing a game phone A heats up to 40°C but phone B only heats up to 30°C, something like that, a good performance to heat generation ratio?
Been using my current phone(Galaxy SII, I9100) to play Drastic DS emulator but 5min in and my phone is like burning and maybe even damaging my phone, i never overclock my phone though, underclocking to 800ghz also is useless
Right now im only playing it on my bus ride to school since the bus is always very cold (you know a bus is very cold when your playing games and your phone is suppose to overheat and keep you warm but its not OVERHEATING)
