Charging makes it pretty hot.. Make sure it doesnt have a case as that will make the phone hotter.
Also kill unused apps once in a while as the more resources you use the hotter the phone will get especially when watching videos or playing games.

it got very hot while i was just surfing the net, won't watch movies or play games on it. It was too hot i counldnt hold it any longer, wasnt charging it either.
Might be faulty. Try taking the batt out and put it back in, if still the same take it back to the place you got it and replace

It felt uncomfortable and it was hot.
I will give it a few extra days and see how it goes when I am back home.

I bought the S3 4 days ago, the other night its was down to 15% battery. I plugged it and and surfed the web. about 20 mins in it got super hot and rebooted. today its been freezing up. did I break it? does that much heat hurt the oled screen. thanks
You might want to get it replace, some devices have heat issues.
i don't have such problems in my s3.
plz replace it immediately. because it is very costly device

Maximum heat it reached while playing asphalt 7 was around 46C and while charging around 38 till 41
So I think you should get it replaced

It's normal since the glass and back are really thin (its usually at the bottom of phone), mine does the same if you use it a lot and have the screen kept on
Nothing to worry about.
I would check your battety stats though and look for something called media, this scans your media making your s3 bit hot.

Hi i would like to share my exp. Before . After flashing jb for europe and poland my phone have unusual heat at the back.and the camera becomes fluffy.. I was worried i tot it was the jb for my s3 made in france... After i saw jb region: france ... I flash it was the right jb for my phone....

You're right. When looking at tje screen its the bottom right in the back of the phone. I would assume it to be due to project butter amd a forced constant fps

It's the CPU that's heating up, that's near the bottom of the phone, unless the temp is in the 70s (celcius) there is nothing to worry about. The CPU will automatically throttle itself if it gets too hot (can't remember the exact value on the Exynos 4400, someone will though)
If you overclock it will heat up more, demanding activities like playing games etc will heat it up more.
If you are really concerned you can download System Tuner, then in there go to settings, and choose notification packages, then you can download the temperature package, and enable it, this will show live updates showing the temperature of the CPU in the notification bar. System Tuner can be used as root to overclock etc, but to show information like frequency and temperature it does not require root.
If. Downgraded the phone and stopped it what would be the disadvantages performance wise?

Normal.
Just be glad it isn't an iPhone 4 or iPad 2, otherwise it would have self-combusted in your hands.
My S III gets REALLY hot when playing Asphalt 7, to the point of getting artifacts in the screen and eventually crashing the device.
I really don't care much about it. It is under warranty, so if I get any damage from that I'll harass Samsung so much they'll have to give me a new one.
When my phone was on ICS i never felt it getting warm while browsing the web, checking emails and changing system settings. Since upgraded to JB, I've noticed the phone was getting warm at the bottom (near the charging connector) 10 minutes after performing the above activities. The heat was definitely generated by the CPU, not the battery.
I used an app called Temp+CPU V2 from the Play Store to check CPU temperature. When the phone is on idle it hovers at around 25 degrees; after 10 minutes of use it goes up to around 35-38 degrees. By this point i can feel the bottom part of the phone was getting quite warm.
Can you guys test this and confirm whether your phones are behaving similar to mine?
Thanks!

Does for me, having it on uses less cpu making my s3 less hot but having it off can notice a big difference especially playing games and using internet.
My s3 just suffers from warmness now.
Up to you though

I was thinking ****ing it just downgrade it in the interest of the phones safety etc lol and wait till they release an update for project butter or jb etc etc... to finally sort this dam problem it it's probably nothing big but it does cause worries I always ha've mine on power save but it stays the same heat with games etc

You got a quadcore device in your hands. And it has no cooling whatsoever. So there's no wonder it gets hot when used. Especially playing games or similar stuff.

Hi guys my galaxy s3 gets over heated while using it
in battery drain analyzer it says 41 °c as temp
is this normal?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
What claims your phone to be overheated?
Only that app or are there other indicators such as the phone being sluggish (it clocks down on overheat)
- Are you in a warm/hot region?
- Is the phone in a full body protective case
- are you overvolting / overclocking cpu or gpu?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I had the same problem with the galaxy s3 the bottom of my phone would always over heat and I think it happens to others my guess would he samsungs kernel there stock because after I flashed my phone and switched to a different kernel my phone quit over heating on the bottom

If you're running games that'll happen. That's where the chips are. If you're getting that while the phone is idle or something use watchdog or better battery stats to find what it is and stop it.

Hi, I am considering buying the GS5. Does it have any issues? Last time I bought a Galaxy Note 3 from AT&T, the GPS was awful from start to finish. I just need to be aware of issues with this phone, thanks.

My co-worker has a Verizon s5 and his lasted 9 days on a battery with less than 10% left.
I saw the battery statistics with my own eyes.
So what the F#$* is wrong with these phones? Some do well and others don't? I've been through one replacement already, 3 batteries which said OEM (Ebay buy in USA) and have one on the way tomorrow.
I absolutely love android, and I love Iphone too and this is mountains better in battery life compared to my iphone but Knox and the wierd androidOS/system usage probably related to CarrierIQ are huge downers for me

Does he have an extended battery? No way this phone lasts for 9 days unless he uses it 5 minutes a day or something.
I made my return to T-Mobile and got the S5. Black 16 GB, but smaller than my Note 3 capacity, but still a good phone. Going to pick it up tomorrow after a system issue that wouldn't let me pay .

Battery cover issues, wifi calling issues. Besides that good phone. Nothing like my gs3 which was the best phone I've owned. A bit disappointed in this one.

I saw it with my own eyes! Normal use. I'm unknown on usage, I got a new battery today.... Hopefully that solves my issues.
Weird that WiFi calling causes issues with text. I wonder why. Never tried and had issues with it. When I turn on the WiFi though it still shows data connection right next to it. Is that normal?
