Hello all,
My S3 get really warm at back bottom. if ideal it's cool. but if i only open crome & surf for 5 mins it gets warm(not hot)
but still it's scary that how a simple browsing task can make a phone such warm??
also when i play gta vc or nfs mw than it gets really really warm at back bottom.
it's my unit or any budy also facing same issue?
plz light up the topic.
Thnaks.
I have same situation, but it shouldn't concern you too much, it's pretty normal with android as it has background processes, maybe something in background is using CPU.
Also you should know, browsing web might not be as simple task as you think.
Because display "hello world " in simple text and display something mixed up with Java, flash, GIF animation, or something I don't even know their name, is very much different...

You can not compare the S3 with them.
The place where it's heating up is de place where the processor is located.
There is only a very thin peace of plastic between the processor and you're hand.
So if your temp is around the 45 degrees it is feeling hot.
It's totally normal for the S3 so don't worry about it.

Well thanks all of u. now i am feeling sigh of relief...
I will check the temps & let u knw....
bytheway which app should i use for checking the temps?
hello guys ,I have to say i came back to htc because i really love it ,but this time on htc one x + which i think i have choosed the right thing (between a plastic s3 ,with bugged firmwares ,etc ) , After i bought i went to home and charged it a bitt ,then i started to install apps to personalize it more ,etc like a normal guy . After 20 mins my phone started to overheat and the camera was so hot ,i'm afraid to don't fry something ,i know is winter but seriously i didn't wanted a stove ,anyway after a deep search i've found a "Fix" if i say , but i don't wanna use it till i receive more information about it .There's a guide like this
1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
What exactly is doing , and it is a truly fix ? Or my "normal" overheating is normal ?
I'm on stock rom ,4.2.2 android,didn't tried any root or something else to modify him .Thanks in advance
Also i forgot to mention , the notification light is low ,i barely see it when is on charge or receive a notification .
EDIT: oh yay ,now my notification light stopped working,sometime is like a inch of dust and sometime is not ,and only orange one is working while charging ,green doesn't work . Shall i try a toothbrush?
Use your common sense, take it to the service center. My phone used to Overheat, now it doesn't even when playing Real Racing 3 for two hours on a charger

No, it definitely is not. Take it to the service center.

but at least is that "Fix" working with all those combinations ?
There's no overheating issue with One X+ in general, it's just Tegra 3 SoC getting very hot under heavy load. Definitely use Power saver mode to cap the CPU at 1.3Ghz when gaming, this helps a lot to reduce heat output (although it still gets hot)! Also don't charge your phone while gaming (or vice versa)! If you experience high temperatures on normal use, you should check your installed apps, maybe something locks the CPU to high frequencies or causes high cpu loads in background. Also i don't recommend using any app to control CPU frequency, they don't work well with stock kernel and may mess up frequency scaling.
In case all this does not help for you, maybe you have to send it to repair.
I just picked up Sony Xperia Z2 (D6503) a week ago and I love everything about this phone. However, I am getting overheating issue with my phone. Just today, I was at my niece's birthday party and I took 12 pictures in may be 5 minutes and I get a message about Camera app needing to shutdown to cool down.The area above Sony logo and around NFC logo got really warm. I am aware that shooting 4k video can cause overheating but just shooting regular pictures causing overheat is concerning to me. I have owned Z1 before and it didn't have this problem. I was wondering if anyone else is having this overheat issue with just taking pictures? I shot pictures in Default setting iA mode and pictures saved to Internal Storage. I didn't change any settings.
Yes I also have this issue and three store have refused to replace it, claiming it is a feature

Yes I have it too. I'm enquiring the store I've bought it from to get a replacement.
I was taking a few pictures this afternoon , the phone did get warm but didn't show up any overheating messages.
No overheating taking pictures or shooting 1080p in my case.
I have done more investigation into this. The closing of the camera app doesn’t seem related to CPU temp, it appears to be dependant on Battery temp. I have been able to record 4k video with the CPU at 70, but as soon as the battery temperature gets to 42, the camera force closes.
This is also why the camera will overheat and close for other use. If the battery is already hot, eg after charging or gaming, the camera is more likely to push the battery temp to 42, triggering the force close.

Hmmm...I wasn't playing any games before I took the pictures. Phone was in my pants pocket before I took it out to take pictures. I do notice taking pictures will cause my phone to get warm. I wonder if this "problem" can be fixed with firmware update.
Well, i also got this problem but with SocialLife app video streaming on Facebook. After 8 minutes of video the phone crashed. Strangely, if you play games that make the phone as hot as an oven nothing happens, turn on the camera and boom, force close / sometimes reboot.

Yes Ive noticed this too
hey guys, Z2 was launched this week in Brazil so i am looking to replace my lg g2 for z2. but i saw many complaints about people not being able to use the camera when is hot outside. even after 5 pictures the camera got warm and shutdown. i will never use 4k video, but i plan to use the max 16:9 manual resolution, ia mode and 1080p 60fps. in my g2 i always recorded long videos and never got a camera shutdown, even tried yesterday recording 4k with a mod and after 5 minutes video was saved and nothing happened. and people with this problem live in places with good temperatures like 20c, here in my city usually is 30c or 35c so i am a bit worried if i will buy a very expensive phone without being able to use the camera. so this was already fixed or is hardware problem?
My country's temperature is also at 30c. The camera will get hot, but I've never experienced a shutdown before

Same here, want to know before waste my "Dilmas".
In newer models yes
Sony also tried to fix on the firmware side so old model devices have less heat

Mine is from batch 14w22 which I believe is a newer build and I've gotten a shutdown notice due to heat and I was only using 1080p. I was using the filters effect which was probably resource taxing.
Update, I am on firmware 402. I believe there is an update called 438 out now or soon.

EBay seller never-msrp. Overall I'm very happy with the device. I don't see me having an overhearing problem while normal point and shooting.

Freeze overheat control service
I live in a very hot city, and it's almost impossible to use AR effects. 4k video at least works for a couple of minutes, but AR effects closes as soon as I try to use it due to camera overheating. I was wondering if the temperature service was disabled... If this issue would be solved. So I froze the overheating control service using titanium backup ( Overheat control - com.sonyericsson.psm.sysmonservice). And it worked! My camera stopped to force closing due to overheating. I think it's a software problem, the temperature level trigger to shut down the camera must be have settled too low,, if the phone was too hot, it should turn it off entirely, not just the camera. Well... My camera is working fine now. But I think this is not a safe solution. I guess if for some reason my Z2 get really hot, with overheating control disabled, it would not be powered off to prevent damage and my phone would be toasted. But I think there will be no trouble to freeze overheating control before using camera and activate it later... That's really annoying, but it's better than lose a moment cause your camera refuses to work due to supposed overheat.
*just to remember... In order to freeze overheat control service you need to be rooted
SONY Xperia Z2 D6543 4.4.2. 17.1.2.A.0.314 stock ROM rooted
I have downclocked z2 with mpdecision and multicore powersave. No overheating issues during 4k recording.

I just got my Z2; Ambient temp around 22c; had to really work it to get a thermal shutdown; switching from multi burst camera to 4k to generate the heat. It was the stupid CGI Dinosaur nonsense that did it in the end. I can't see it being an issue with normal point and shoot.
If you find this hot, try brave frontier for 5 mins. It made my phone reboot cause it was to hot to operate

I had a problem with the overheating issue too,but while playing games - Compared my Z2 with Iphone 5 playing Dungeon hunter 4 - ew my phone overheated like crazy at the upper right corner where is the CPU.. ( no overheating at all from the Iphone.. - -) And another thing is that the glue holding the camera class circle is abit spilled at some places (you need to get closer to see it)...im not sure the overheating coused that .. but while gaming or vrecording the phone overheats alot.
Hi guys. I am considering replacing my HTC Sensation with Z2. With Sensation, I use to take lots of pictures when I am on some trip. Generally, I am speaking about taking 50+ pictures when I am on trip (ZOO, castle, rocks...). Can Z2 manage this? Can you help me please? Thank you

Well mate, I don't know what to tell you, some people are reporting that its impossible for them to use cam at all, not only 4k but for taking pictures,
for myself I have never experienced over heating problems with normal usage, said that i meant on using camera for taking photos or videos which arent in 4k mode. If you're gonna use it as camera, I strongly suggest not to play games on it just before you start heavy using camera for example.
Where I live, the temperature was over 39 degrees of C, I recorded 4k outdoors for more then 8 mins, took lots of (+20) pictures in nature and all and never had problem, just don't leave it direct on sun, it gets very hot and it becomes probably useless,
you only have to take 'care' with those kind of things, other then that you're ok.
In my case, my z2 would certainly manage that kind of usage without a problem.
So here is some info i gathered from 5 Xperia Z2s
Device 2 and 3 match my 1st Z2 and my replacement Z2, however i managed to get 21 mins of 4k recording with my 2014w22 replacement device
Good thing ive got a bunch of freinds with Xperia Z2s and xperias in general
Device 1:
purchase date: 15th of August
41mins -4k rec
Temp after rec:61c
batch: 2014w29
Device 2:
purchase date: 8th of June
3mins:59sec -4k rec
Temp after rec:72c
batch: 2014w17
Device 3:
Purchase Date: 31st of June
5mins:33sec -4k rec
temp after rec: 58c
batch: 2014w22
So here is something ive knoticed, new xperias around w30 or newer are flawless. there are people here in XDA who can prove that too :/
edit- forgot to mention, devices 1 and 3 didnt have any heating issues under normal ussage
Just tried 4k recording. Stopped it manually at 10:00. Can't imagine me using it in the near future. Flickering screen indoors with tl-tubes, and I won't be buying an 4k screen anytime soon .
Mind you though, it's around 18 degrees C here. I can imagine the phone quiting on me a lot sooner when it's 30C. Also tried AR, no heating problems so far.
But, when it was 30+ degrees, the camera did shut down after 5 minutes of testing the white balance. But that was before I installed .314. So I would have to re-test that. Unfortunately there's a fat chance we will reach those temps before next year.

I got w17, manually stopped my recording around 10 mins when I was outside, ambient temperature about 35,36 degrees.
My D6543 is w22. It's working fine now after freeze overheat control service. No more camera closing due to overheat. I could not even start AR effect before and I was not playing games or any hard usage before trying. 4k video is not an issue for me cause I won't use it. But before freezing overheat control, sometimes my camera refuses to take even simple photos....
Ambient temperature: 28°
Battery temp: 36°
CPU temp: 44°
Now let's start AR effects (overheat control service is disabled)
After 7 minutes recording
Battery: 47°
CPU: 72°
Temperatures seems to be stable, they were not increasing since minute 3....
Now 4k recording...
Before
Battery: 43°
CPU: 54°
After 4 minutes
*using internal storage
Battery: 53°
CPU: 84°
I accidentally stopped recording. But it seems it was still getting hotter.
