Hi all,
My SGSII heat up alot while charging. (for exactly i charge when phone have only 8%). The heat is not normal. It's more heat than while playing game.
And also it got high temp while using wifi and internet browsing between these days. Do you guys face the same problem?
SGSII is really great . But it heat up alot while playing game and turn on wifi.
Mine is a bit warm in the battery area when I begin charging the phone. But I wouldn't call it "extremely hot".
Another case is when I browse the web (that has flash) it feels a bit warm near the camera area (should be the CPU). Have not played games though.
There has been a discussion going on about that. It seems that some apps (eg Robo Defense) are not properly coded for the dual core. In addition some members also hinted, that the kernel is not yet optimized to compensate for that. The whole discussion started after a guy has "fried" his SG2 (beyond repair) while playing a game and charging at the same time. The phone still worked on AC power but no longer and battery and was unable to charge battery.
My recommendation would be,
- not to play games to long to heat up the device to much before new firmware is out.
- ...or use cet CPU to downthrottle to 500-800 MHZ
If the device heats up while charging I would try rebooting it (to get rid of processes which may still are open) or preferably charging while switched off

Which firmware are you using? I was on KF2, and experienced the phone heating up while playing games.
Updated to KF3 (stock, using Kies) rooted and all was well again. Even with excessive gaming, constant wifi on etc the phone just gets mildly warm.
There's no need to underclock etc. The heating issues just went away with KF3. If that firmware is not yet available in your area on Kies, then just put a newer custom ROM (Darky/Lite'ning/Villian etc) and try it out.
I remember whatsapping with some friends and I noticed my pocket felt really really hot. I checked and saw Whatsapp crashed. Also my battery sucked up about 30%. The phone was too hot to touch. I instantly took out the battery too let it cool down.
I never had that since. I expect it's resolved too, because I have KG1 now.
my firmware is KF2. now i decided to upgrade to KG1. is it stable now? any recommend rom?
As long as it stays below 50°C it is perfectly NORMAL.
And besides there is NO heat up issues with this phone.
Regards.
Hello
My s2 heated up alot too
so much so that it melted my simcard whilst it was on charge
also got led burn marks,
sent it to samsung lets see what they do 4 me
I already upgraded to XXKG1 and still heat up alot while playing pottery game.
This is why from the factory apple underclock their cpu's.
Samsung got the crazy idea of overclocking an already power hungry cpu.
A phone that gets too hot to touch under normal use is not fit for purpose

My phone seems to be getting warm in the lower left corner of the display when I'm using it and the charger is plugged in. If I don't use it and it's on the charger I do not get this warm spot. It has persisted though multiple ROMs/Kernels. The spot is just above the menu capacitive button and I can feel it on the front and side. Prob only about the size of a dime if it were wrapped around the side of the phone. When it's not plugged in I don't notice the warm spot. Is there a component for charging under that spot? Thought about warranty return but don't really want to get a refurb.
No one uses their phone when it's charging? Will usually take about 10 or so min of playing on the phone to get the spot to warm up.
my phone doesnt get hot there. During use, it'll get hot around the camera, where the battery connections are. Thats about it.

Hmm... Mine doesn't get warm there. I looked at the teardown of the international SGS2 on ifixit and it doesn't even look like there is much down there at all to get hot.
Mine gets very hot if used while charging. As hot as 128F on one occasion. It doesn't seem to matter how many apps are running. Its 105 right now with minimal use. I do keep the screen at its brightest though so I'm guessing that's the issue.

That's dangerously hot. You need to figure out what's causing that. Enough times above 125° and your battery can die or have noticeably shortened life.

Mine get the same way. Extremely hot to the point I can't hold it. Sometimes i play Zynga poker while charging and aftering 20/30 minutes my phone is burning hot and only recieved 1% battery. And sometimes i will wake up and the phone will be hot after not touching it for 6-7 hours and battery hardly charged.
I've noticed that this phone tends to heat up fairly easily..A lot of apps cause it..Not sure what to do about it though..
Mine only heats up noticeably if I play a game or something of that sort, but not really otherwise.

if you're using the battery faster than the phone can charge, this will happen. Happens to me all the time while I'm using the phone while charging.
Double post. See below.

Where at? where I described or another spot?
My phone really only sunstantially heats up when I am using any browser. Also fyi, there was another thread on this subject.
Yeah, I turned it off that time. But even if plugged in with the screen off I saw it today near 114. If I use while plugged in it jumps from the 90's to the low 100's. I'm just trying to figure out if everyone sees it that hot. I'm using battery indicator in my notifications bar to monitor.

Hi,
I am facing this issue from past few weeks. First time I noticed that my phone is heating up very fast when I was playing Angry Birds Space, after few days I uninstalled it fearing my phone my blow as its reaching high temps.
Next time I noticed I was watching Live tv through 3G and within 5 minutes it started heating up. I turned off the BRAVIA engine and on to see if there is any difference and to my vain there is no change.
I went to Sony support center as my phone freezed and I didnt know how to come out of it. I tried pressing the power button for few secs and it did nothing, later at the support center I learned we have to press power button and press volume button to restart or shut down the phone. Anyway I informed the tech person about the heating problem and he informed to update the software and I allowed him to update the software to see if it makes any difference.
Now after owning this phone for 1 month, I understood whenever I am browsing, downloading or watching tv through 3G the phone is heating up.
Can anyone help me with this problem and by the way I dont have the yellow tint which few people have experienced.
Thank in advance.
3G is widely know for hungry battery consuption and big heating up.
That is not an problem.

There is no problem.
Also, I used to have an iPhone... MAN that thing could get hot when there was a looped process!!!
It is normal for the phone to heat up when you are playing CPU/GPU intensive games, or are using 3G heavily. It should get warm, but not so hot that you have problems holding it (happened to my old iPhone).
Its another "my phone heats up when i use it" thread..
Well, er yeah it would heat up when you use it!
The mean maximum temperature ranges between 34 °C (93 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) in May.

You live in a warm climate so heating is exacerbated. Not much you can do other than underclock.
Ogw..
Its an phone.. Not an fridge.. You know..?
It has an cpu in it.. Memory a battery a screen etc..
Also dual core phone..
You know this phone is fast?
Yes!?
Power = Heat
I've been using my i9300 S3 for a few days now and it seems to heat up on the lower back when using wifi/data extensively. It's not hot to cook an egg sort of thing, but it seems hotter than usual.
Any of you experience such issues?
Hello
I am first time android user. Even i noticed this. Please let me know if it's ok.
It feels normal to me though....but I guess extensive usage may increase heat, just like computers and other electronic devices
I noticed the heat issue a lot more when I just got the phone. It still warms up a bit but i would say it is normal.
Though it did get pretty hot on my last flight during take off that I had to turn it off. Didn't want my expensive phone to melt.

It's normal I wouldn't worry about it to much although it will get warmer if it is being charged while using the program.
I am facing a similar issue ! My question is what temperature is safe enough ? I mean I have used few battery info apps. I have got a temperature reading of around 42 - 43 degree Celsius ! Is it normal ?

Do you own a computer of any kind? Not even that, any electronic device... a TV, PC monitor, anything? Use it for a while, and then report back to me any changes in temperature....
Is quite normal as long as your palm doesn't feel uncomfortable with the heat.

S3 overheating
Krico is absolutely right. It happened this morning when I was charging thru a notebook using both devices at the same time. And the heat lingered on even though I unplugged it. So I switched it off and now it is back to normal. Tks.
The phone can get pretty hot using WIFI and 3g extensively or 3d games. This is normal, electrical components heat up after prolonged use, your computer heats up your tv heats up. As long as the phone isn't burning your hand or exceeding 60C you should be fine. My phone gets warm to the touch and noticeably heats up but doesn't get HOT, if your phone ever gets HOT, turn it off to avoid damage.
I use an app called temp cpu v2. It displays a few interesting stuff incl. battery temperature. There are probably other apps like this.
With wifi on I get around 26 degrees but it sometimes goes up to 50 (or a little more?) on 3d games using wifi.
While charging it gets a little hotter.
Is it normal, that the phone gets really hot, if i play some games !? i mean, sometimes it's so hot, that i can't touch the screen ...
Completely normal

Mine heats up like crazy if I just use Wi-Fi intensive applications (Skype etc) while charging!!
What about playing videos whilst charging? It heats up like a freshly baked pie!!

Of course it gets hot if you do anything CPU intensive for any length of time (even more so on charge). The CPU has no cooling, no effective heatsink & is in a very enclosed space near other components that also get hot (including the battery). It's not like a PC CPU which has at least one fan & a heatsink (and vents), not to mention plenty of clearance (compared to a phone at least) between components in a desktop PC at least which allows heat to dissipate better.

OC to like 1.4 GHz, OC GPU, Max screen brightness, charge and play graphic intensive games :good:
It's normal
I know this is an old thread, but I just started having this problem. I've had my Galaxy S2 since March 2013 but only in the past week as the phone been heating up and draining battery power to almost nothing in a matter of four or five hours. I used to be able to use the phone multiple times over the course of the day with no issue of heating or battery power, but ever since Friday 12/13 I've had this problem. It gets so hot I keep it off until I need it, and I'm used to keeping it turned on. Even keeping it in airplane mode doesn't keep it from heating up. I've had other Samsung Android phone users tell me of the same thing happening only in the past week, not before that. Any idea what it could be?
