Hello guys,
I'm having some serious issues with overheating.
I saw that it's affecting alot also performace of device as of latery.
I have upgraded 1 week ago from android 9 EU to android 10 global.
Could it be some issue with current android where something is even working on background and making device use processor too much?
Can I somehow "tune" graphic on mine device (without rooting) ?
As I play alot of black desert mobile and it's anjoying if mine device is almost untouchable due to overheating.
Or do you think it's HW issue mainly and I should send it to repair ?
Thanks,
Martin
What did you do in the end? My Mi A3 is currently in the fridge because the temperature has gone over 20C in the UK and it's crashing continually.
That's a pity - 20C and your phone can't handle it? How does that happen???? Go to my place and the temp is constantly at 35C and I still max out everything I could in every game. No problem.
About the overheating, that's a normal thing. Through time of course the performance would go down and thus it would run hotter trying to keep up the performance. But really, chill people. If your phone is about 35C - 40C, it's just hot and to be honest, it's a normal thing hardware-wise.
If it's A LOT hotter after the update, it's due to the software. So you can flash Pie back, or use custom ROM, or just wait for another update.
I've just noticed that the July update from Google has been released recently. Fingers crossed. When I say 20C I mean ambient temperature here in the UK... the phone itself gets *way* hotter. I know phones get hot when the CPU is stressed but my phone was sat by my side here outside (in the shade) and it randomly rebooted twice whilst idle. After hard restart (press and hold power down for a few seconds) it comes back up and will work for a couple of minutes before becoming unresponsive again. As the problem seemed to get a lot worse with Android 10 and the recommendation is to go back to version 9, I'm hoping that Google/Xiaomi are able to fix it. I'm a techie working and developing stuff since 8-bit games so I'm more than happy with low-level stuff but firmware updates on phones still freak me out

hello friendz..i am a owner of Samsung Galaxy S2 which i purchased last September & i live in New Delhi, India where the temperature is always above 41ºC in summer..& since the mid of the May month when the city's temperature has gone to its peak (41ºC to 45ºC), my S2 started giving me serious hang problem..the screen's becoming un-responsive & everytime i have press the lock button to & then unlock the phone to get rid from it..i was on stock ICS 4.0.3..first i thought that it could be some Virus or Software problem..so i format the phone & memory card, applied the factory reset & even cleared the cache-partition, but still the problem haven't gone. then i even flashed back to official gingerbread 2.3.5 to check whether the firmware would be a problem or not..but still the screen-hang problem persisted..then i paid a visit to customer service & the engineer there said that the screen-hang problem is due to hot summer which makes the insides of the phone like processor & battery to get heat up fast which results those occasional hang-ups when the phone is warm. and they just updated my firmware back to ICS. so when i came back home, i install Battery Thermometer from the Market & measured the battery..& i realized that my phone give the Screen-Hang when the Battery temp exceeds 36ºC & works stable below & within 35ºC..& this temp i am getting in Idle with WIFI & 3G on 24x7 in normal room condition & when sitting in AC, the battery temp is 29ºC to 33ºC & it works like a charm till 35ºC, so please tell whether there is a problem undergoing with my S2? & if the phone really hangs above battery temperature of 35ºC? please tell me asap..thank you..!!
I'm in mumbai, and well my phone heats up till 40, 45 if I charge too long...
Screen unresponsive shouldn't happen coz of this temperature as I normally don't face this...
Did you drop your phone recently?

I have bought a galaxy alpha four days ago. The device was working very well the first days with no problems. Excellent phone. It was getting warm, but I know this is normal for phones.
However the warm became worse, at the point the display was heating so much to risk to burn my finger. The display is now constantly getting warm even when doing simple tasks (whatsapp, browsing internet) and it is uncomfortable to use.
If I try to do a intensive task (like playing a game), even only for a few minutes, then it becomes hot and it makes the display almost untouchable. The top part of the display is especially affected by the problem. The back cover in plastic is also warm, but nothing that prevents me from safely holding the device in my hand
I have tried to turn off the phone and let it to cool down. However, after turning on the device again, the phone gets warm like before.
Is all of this normal? I'm aware that every phone becomes hot with use, but I believe my alpha is exxaggerated. I think it's a problem of faulty device, but I'd like to know your opinions first before to go back to the shop.
Thank you for answering
do you uodate to android 5?alpha get hot if your screen brith 100%.....or use a case or cover........or using 3g 4g wifi all time.....its a cool dvice but like all phone can get hot

I say return it and get a replacement. Yes, the phone does heat up from both Kitkat and Lollipop builds but not to the point where it "burns" fingers.

hi had a similar problem like this with my alpha phone as well not to the degree where it felt like the screen was burning my finger just that it was unusually warm what i did to solve this was to disable every and anything that's unnecessary that's running in the background that came on my phone, disable all gesture feature as well as set the screen brightness to auto, change launchers, make sure WIFI NFC and bluetooth are disabled when not in use and if you do not use LTE on your phone disable it as well doing all of this should help to speed up ,increase battery life and hopefully make your phone cooler
I would suggest a factory reset and a day of testing after. If its still the same go for service.

Update: I have followed your suggestions and The alpha looks to be fine now. I'll bring It back to the shop if the heat happens again.
Thank you for your attention.
I already make a 6-8 time root my Alpha 850F
a test same builds from eudemony 502,with problem google.play services..google.music...google.play.store stoped working in mean time was lose root & TWRPrecovery than again flash stock 502 throuth odin,& again ...

If your phone was to hot,let him finish the update ,sync,apk play store update
dont turn off wifi or data after update phone will be cool down
Hey everyone. I literally just got my G5 in the mail a couple hours ago and went through the setup process. It was plainly obvious that the phone was really hot. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't know if this is a common thing or if it may just be my phone....
My LG G5 is not received.So I don't know.When I get it,I will answer this.
Mine gets a little warm after heavy use and while charging, but I wouldn't call it hot. Try pulling the battery and see if the battery is causing the heat.
Mine also got hot during the setup process. I was adding my gmail account and fiddling around with it while it was charging and it got noticeably hot. Haven't had a problem since then.
I was playing with one in the ATT store and it seemed to be getting warm on the back just to the left of the fingerprint reader (if looking at the back). I wouldn't say it was hot, just warm.
Most phones heat up a bit during setup, just like some do during updating. I'm guessing it may be a little more noticeable with the metal design.
Verizon unit here and mine was also hot when setting up but quickly cooled down. I will add that i did not have my phone plugged in when setting it up.
Mine was really hot during the setup process. If I'm doing nothing with the screen off, it's cool. But doing anything with it, generates more heat than I would like. Taking photos feels like I'm holding a hand warmer.
I read LG isn't aggressively throttling the CPU like Samsung so at this point that's what I'm assuming is going on.
It would be nice if there was a straight forward way to compare temperatures objectively instead of subjective descriptions like warm, little warm, hot, too hot.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it happens after your initial device set up. Normally with the LG's I've noticed that they get hot during a first boot and setup. The only other time I've experienced it like that is if I'm playing a game or on Skype.

after setup, (not charging) installing all my apps it got warm but not where i would have to put it down.
it seem that this phone have a lot of problem............... should i go pick up my package?
Verizon user here. I didn't notice anything warm during setup but I noticed on my first test call that after about 10 minutes it was getting warm to the point of being uncomfortable. I've a text message restore running for about 10 minutes now with the display on and the phone is cold to the touch. Not sure what may be causing the temp variances. An unlocked CPU sounds plausible which i'm kind of okay with. Has anyone notice poor call quality. According to the person I was talking to my voice would go through periods of crystal clarity and inaudible garble. Not sure if it was on my end or theirs. I'll return with updates.
Got my My LG G5 from T-Mobile... After 3 days the phone has been overheating, and every 10 seconds it drops Mobile Connection...I went through a plethora of tests with T-Mobile Support and they determined that I need a replacement device...so waiting for the replacement...One other thing, I notice this happened after calling T-Mobile to Unlock the device...So not sure if there is any correlation between my issue and T-Mobiles Unlock App, T-Mobile said the two were not related.
I did factory reset and left for 10 minutes after first boot then setup my credentials and left phone on WiFi for 1 hour before I did start downloading

The only 2 times i had the phone get warm was whdn i setup it up and when i tried to film a 4k video while charging it and it caused the phone to stutter and even the clips stuttered.
I think there are communication problem here, when people mention hot, how hot is it, as different people defines them differently, I know my friends phone is only warm, but he just say hot.
all the LG phones i heard get HOT or overheated. this has been happing for so many years, nothing new.
i notice this 4 years ago with my LG phone. i thought they would have fixed it by now.

I had the V10 for about 4 months, only get s warm, not hot.
Setup no heat, installing all apps for 20 mins no heat. Lots of photos not heat. Not seeing an issue with over heating
I recently broke my OPO and switched to this device using the same SIM card (I use T-Mobile) I've noticed on both devices they have a tendency to overheat. Both according to Coolify Flat ( going upwards of 40°C According to Coolify) and the lg g3 specifically in TWRP reaching upwards of 70°C according to the temp indicator there (can't remember if the OPO would overheat in recovery).
I'm wondering could the SIM be causing overheating issues?
Is it because the phones are a tad bit old?
Is it due to the 801 Snapdragon?
A culmination of the 3?
Or something I haven't thought of?
I should be receiving a new SIM card tonight to isolate that will report on that later but I would definitely appreciate any insight.
So put the new SIM card in yesterday, the phone did not get to 40°C even while I was charging it until I went out to play Pokémon go at night, during which time the temperature of the device shot up uncomfortably quick, reaching up to 42-44°C before I started freaking out and turning off everything I could in attempts to cool it down.
Right now the device is sitting at 36.7°C from me streaming music and replying to this post and another using XDA labs, now my gaming PC doesn't even act like this when I'm doing some hard gaming and I do not use liquid cooling so I find this quite disturbing.
Could someone help me out here? I would rather not melt this device as I'm trying to hold onto it until the new Google phone drops, also it is now at 37.5°C at the time of finishing this post
I really don't know what to tell you. I believe my phone's been 70 degrees celsius regularly in TWRP during backup/restore process and I haven't had a problem. I don't think it's the age of the phone. Don't know if it's necessarily the processor or if it's just the lack of a better heatsink (I believe there's a thread or two possibly about adding your own additional heatsink/improving on the stock setup).
Hi,
I noticed my xperia 1 mark III is overheating even in normal use, especially in 120Hz mode. I hope sony will fix it as this device is really scalding.
It really burns!
This is the hottest device I ever had
Software version: 61.0.A.11.23
You're burning up your battery. Time is of the essence, resolve this issue fast. Shutdown the phone if it gets too hot!!!
Auto thermal shutdown may not protect the display/mobo especially if in hot ambient temperatures, in direct sunlight, or when charging.
Keep brightness at 50% or less.
Factory reset.
If that fails...
Find the apks or/and services causing to high drain.
If that fails, return the device.
The clock is ticking, Mr Wick tic-tok...
This is a serious problem. I took some photos and videos (4k and slowmotion) while standing in the sun. Outside temperature was about 23°C (73°F). After about 5 minutes I got an overheat message.
An app that I installed earlier registered an internal temperature of 40.5°c. It felt really hot to (while in a bumper case).
After I put the phone on a granite kitchen table it cooled down in about 10 minutes.

It is serious. Turn off the phone when it feels very warm before it goes over temperature.
Using a AMOLED display in direct sunlight is never a good plan. Limit it to seconds of use.
I have had this same problem since I got it to the point where I got an alert that some apps would be shutdown.
US Version purchased from Adoroma in the states : 61.0.A.11.23
Just another aggravating issue with this phone. Some are having boot loops of a sort also! What is wrong with these companies? Can they not produce a decent product anymore? 1300.00 and it's junk???????????
I am getting overheating as well, a little warm most of the time I use the phone.
Definitely was the 120hz display turned on. Less warm when the 60.
When using the wireless charger.
Anytime I use the cameras.
I am on the latest update as well.
Hm, very intriguing issue with $1300 flagship smartphone from such a respectable brand. I had similar problem with Xperia 1 II in several occasions. And... I think I know what's the problem (not bloody hot SD888 as you might suggest!). Please have a good look at dissasembly video:
Then compare it with $390 LG V60 ThinQ disassembly video from the same guy. Spot the difference! And it is - missing cooling system on Xperia 1 II / 1 III whereas LG V60 has quite big copper vapour chamber! Maybe that's why my LG V60 never gets really hot. So the question is ... WTF are you doing SONY?!
Well, I just sent back my first Pixel - 5A - for overheating. I have been watching the 1 iii and the 5 iii as a possible purchase...but I am turned off by the dedicated assistant button that might possibly be remappable... but for sure I will NOT buy either of these mark 3 phones if they overheat! Makes me sick just how badly most new phones are functioning.
Yeah same, it seems to turn off randomly when using the cameras and when 120HZ screen is on.

I think it's the case for warranty replacement or even return if possible. This is one of the reason why I don't buy expensive brand new phones parallel imported (not officially sold in my country). Just because it means no proper warranty, no service, no nothing.
My Xperia 1 III is getting extremely hot even when taking photos (only 2-3) then get message about hot temperature and apps shutting down.
I use Streamlabs mostly (sometimes Prism) to broadcast to YouTube, foundthe phone almost useless! Overheating in seconds from start of s stream! I'm using my old Samsung Note 10 again as Sony wasn't simply useful.
Now I found a solution to it (sorry solution is too big word)
- I've turned "object tracking" off in camera
- I've turned autofocus on in camera
- I've turned 120hz off
Today we had hot day here in UK (27 Celcius ) I did my tests.
Streamlabs at 1080p , 7000kbps , 30fps run outdoor for about an hour smoothly. Connected to charger started to overheat.
Not to mention that tethering makes it hot quickly (so with Samsung).
Prism at 1080p 60fps run smoothly for couple of minutes and then crashed.
Didn't connect the charger.
I use Streamlabs to transmit 5-6 hours of stream into YouTube using mobile network in most if the times and whilst driving (so changing stations constantly)
I found that using WiFi it doesn't get as hot.
Also charging makes it very hot - SONY advertised it as able to by powered directly by a charger without charging battery, how and where do I find that option?
Is it available using car charger with quick charge 3.0?
I like the phone , like the shape , size and feel to it. Camera is OK (I own Sony a6500 )
Hate the fact of poor selfie camera in such expensive phone (I do live streams using selfie cam too)
Right I've ordered a return of my phone and have 30 days to send it back what alternatives do I have? Really like the SONY if it wasn't overheating I'd love it. Is there a solution to it? Cooler anything?
The things I like about the phone are:
*shape and overall feel in hand
*Cameras are ok don't really see if they great quality or not will still use my a6500 camera.
*Like the fact that can use sd card
*Love finger print reader in power button and seperate camera button
*like the fact that there's no rounded edges - hate them in my Samsung Note
I blame my problems with overheating by poorly made apps not the phone itself and not sure changing the phone will change it.
What are the options should I consider? Samsung S21 Ultra ? iPhone 12,13?
I'm a SONY fan and had many if their phones and that's why I'm looking for a solution otherwise would send it back straight away...
Can anyone help me with my problem?
Many thanks
Bart
Unfortunately greedy sony didn't provide any cooling solution to mark 3... Check disassembly videos, there is no any cooling solution at all, like you will find in asus - small vapor chamber etc. Literally nothing!
They knew snap 888 is overheating. They must have tested this device before releasing it, isn't it?
But no, still didn't apply any cooling solution. And that's a big shame and huge problem of this device.
Not sure if qualcomm provide any updated drivers to assess this problem or not. Or if sony will try to fix it. So far they did nothing and still it overheats. Mine too and you are right by saying that on 3G/5G it is hotter than on wifi.
I wonder how they can market battery as capable and better for 3 years with such hot device. Temperature of course has huge negative impact on battery longevity.
Sad but true
I'm quite shocked! Thanks for the info about disassembly videos...
I'm thinking if getting a cooler which you attach to the body.
What I forgot to mention that cameras itself (the lenses) don't get that hot is the area under them and closer to the centre. So must be processor and lack of cooling system.
Not sure what to do...
We have a hot weather now so I will test it intensively (if I was a Sony tester I'd never allow for the phone to be released like this).
Heating problems is why I keep saying that for any SOC/CPU/GPU manufacturer to keep upping the speeds of these things is STUPID! I can virtually guarantee that from now on every new CPU produced by all OEM's is going to overheat! Have you ever walked into a data center, with hundreds of servers running? You have to wear ear protection because the roar of all the internal cooling fans is deafening!
So then "we" attempt to put similar CPU's inside a device the size of a small remote control WITHOUT a fan and wonder why it overheats? There are only so many ways to keep the phone(s) cool. Use them while frozen solid in a block of ice, or better yet, stop running so many CPU/GPU intensive apps all at the same time. It's simple thermodynamics at work here. The more you have running at the same time, the harder the SOC needs to work, the hotter it is going to run. Another solution, that is literally unacceptable to most people, is to code in a lowering of the speed of the SOC. If this needs to be done then it becomes very clear that building a new, faster SOC every year is STUPID!
One more thing... I've heard that Xperia 1III is capable of powering the phone directly without battery charging to lower the heat...Does anyone know how do I turn this future on?

This is applicable with the game enhancer. You can add some apps there and when you open it, you can enable HS power control. Also sony just release a new firmware that answer you with this issue.. you can check my video

Thanks a lot , tomorrow I will be testing - doing long live stream on YouTube using Streamlabs, I always keep my phone under charger as I drive HGV sometimes for 3-4hrs non stop so battery would die.
It also going to be hot day here in UK and having the phone close to windscreen won't help - I know I shouldn't complain about overheating in such circumstances but my phone overheats even when taking photos although I have a feeling that after last system update its looking better , also as I mentioned before switching off object tracking has improved how smooth camera works using Streamlabs and Prism.
I'm considering buying a cooler for my phone too.
I will post my report tomorrow of how it went.
Many thanks

I found the future now in Game Enhancer app, you can power it directly. Not sure how it will perform yet. Tomorrow will send my report.
I often run streaming app in the background and not sure if Game Enhancer will work that way. I run nav app (Sygic Truck).
Heat problem has gone down significantly for me after the latest update yesterday. Usually the phone got really warm even with me just browsing using Chrome or going through Facebook. Now even when playing ROK or Mobile Legends it doesn't get that warm.
