My SG2 seems to run quite hot when doing pretty much anything that requires the screen to stay on, particularly the upper half of the device. I notice the screen itself is quite warm too but according to SetCPU the CPU doesn't go above 38-40 degrees.
Also, it might be my imagination but it doesn't seem to cool down until I do a reboot, suggesting it might be a running service.
Anyone else having a similar issue?
So no one has an issue with their device running hot?

Mine gets hot when i am gaming, or when its sat navving, but it cools down again once i stop doing whatever it was that was making it hot, but it does retain heat thus taking a while to cool.
The screen tends to get hot for me when i am using games/bright stuff, reading my book on there, black screen white text, it doesnt even get any warmer than it would from my hands.
The top gets warmer cos thats where the chips etc are (watch a teardown video, you will see the chips).
I've just noticed it getting quite a bit hotter than I would expect behind the camera (Not seen the breakdown, but I'm guessing thats where the CPU is) when I was playing a few games on it (Specifically Words with Friends and Angry Birds). Just wondering if this is normal in most peoples experience or if its going to burn the side of my leg off at some point?
It should be ok, i've gotten it to the point where touching the camera bit for extended periods of time would be very, very uncomfortable (think a hot, HOT bath) but that's only if you're doing something intensive, usually games.
Right, just been playing Gun Bros with it plugged into the charger, and not only did the battery drop while charging, but it was running at 50c and behind the camera is as hot as Sticks02 points out. Bit worrying really.
Mine still getting quite hot, and quite quickly when playing games. I notice the screen near the top is getting hot too, as well as the back near the camera. Anyone else's screen doing this?

I posted something similar on the modaco website lastweek.
1. Phone gets hot (top half only)
2. Then low battery warning message
3. finally complete shutdown of the phone
Now the phone tends switch of randomly and it's not even hot. I have the latest firmware installed.
Also I thought I'd mention that I did get the battery hot message once then the phone again shut down.
I think this is a software issue rather then hardware, time will tell.
Never had the phone switch off or the battery run down fast. Just the heat for me.

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.

Is it safe to play long hours with Att Galaxy Note? I'm running 1566max/382min OnDemand and I noticed after 30-45 mins of gaming my "phoblet" gets very hot...
So no one plays on their notes? Hmmm
I play MC3 and Shadow Gun and of course it's going to get warm. These games are extremely graphics intensive. Heck my phone gets warm from simply surfing the net. If its getting crazy hot. Take a break.

That's the thing I'm not sure what "crazy hot" is like Prolly burning hot?
if you see 55c that's getting to the dangerous hot
anything less than 50c you are still fine, and can play for as long as you want

Any good app that you recommend that would show you temps?
Hmmm is battery temp = cpu temp? I didn't think so but the apps that I can find, I noticed they are showing same results from battery temp I found in setcpu...
Looking at the battery temp will be a good enough gauge of when you should stop

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.
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...
I'm not experiencing any heat on the phone at all.

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.
Ya I am having some issues when I charge my phone and watch YouTube at the same time

Mine is hot at times as well. How can you tell the temperature of the battery?

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.
heating issues with essential phone
having heat issues when I'm using as a hotspot for video. nothing of concern.
Never had any heat issues on 7.1 or 8.1
