Hey guys,
I have a problem with my GS3's battery life. Until a few days ago, my battery would last almost a full waking day on a full charge, but one day I noticed my phone loosing juice a lot faster than usual, and now it can barely go a full six hours on normal use.
I have installed a lot of new apps over the past few days, so it could be one of those. Here are the apps I've installed since or just before the problem started: HEAVY sword, Clash of clans, Wheres my water, Instamessage, Vector, an old version of Riptide GP2 and Instaframe.
But I suspect it could be a hardware problem as the phone warms up after a little while of normal use, and warms up a lot after a while of heavy use. I know phones warm up under pressure, but this phone gets uncomfortable after a few minutes of browsing.
I've looked at other GS3 battery issues on this and other forums, but nothing like my problem. One day it's perfect then all of a sudden BOOM. Just so unexpected.
Really hoping it's just a rouge app, so if anyone has has battery issues with any of these apps please notify. So yeah please help! :crying:
P.S: It also warms up alarmingly while charging.

Might be one of those apps. Try installing betterbatterystats to see what kind of process is heating up your phone.
I installed better battery stats but that might have not been necessary because all I did was uninstall one app that I had for about a week, and Viola! Problem solved! I still wanna keep this thread open since it's just been one day, I wanna see if the phone stays fine for at least a week before declaring problem solved. Thanks!
Which One did you unistall?

I can't remember, I might have uninstalled a couple. BTW, just to compare, how long does your GS3 usually last? Mine seems to go for eight hours max, and warms up alot. Maybe its normal?

Give a thank if i helped you.
Is s6 edge have heating prob when we use games or do video chats???
A heating problem, no. It will get warm if you push it but it is well within anything normal. My m8 got hotter and from what I can tell the m9 will get even hotter.
s6 edge get hot
I buy new s6 edge...last night i was doing skype video chat..and its get very much over heat even difficult to touch...it...i ask from dealer he said its normal in everyphone
Thats y i ask...
Mine gets hot with YouTube and app downloads/updates. Hot enough where the camera disabled the flash because of heat.
I think is a problem with the edge, and needs to be fixed.

not have any problems with heat...
Mine barely gets warm, even when playing demanding games.
Got my Phone yesterday. During setup it got so hot that I had to take a break. Multiple breaks because i couldn't hold it any longer. I will see how it's doing today.
Battery dropped after one hour already 11% today... Maybe 30min screen on time has something to do with it
Just needed to get it out of my pocket.. GSam nearly 30°C
Dont know but it feels extreme Hot.. maybe the glas surface?
While surfing on my way home it reached 35°C and this feels really uncomfortable!
Mine also gets starts to get warm rather quickly. Usually starts on the back of the phone near the camera. So I guess that's normal? I'm just wanting to make sure it's not my phone that has a problem...
SuperG03
Bought yesterday Alhumdulillah. It was quite hot, did a factory reset (one is enough, else do twice). The max temp i'm getting on full load is 42c, idle is ~31c.
HTC phones can go very got... you can easily reach 70-90 degree
Mine can get pretty warm. At times it is cool and other times it can get warm to hot.
Mine barely gets warm, even when stressed. I firmware updated and factory reset it as soon as I took it out of the box though.
I stressed tested mine with a few antutu stress tests back to back and couldn't get it over 31C. Ambient temp around 22C
Hello all,
S6 edge user in india here, mine is a 64gb model. Any heavy/slightly heavy usage gets my phone to heat up. So much so that it becomes uncomfortable sometimes. To be double sure of the issue, i installed AnTuTu benchmark app, there i found a temp section of the device.
I did a small test. Please see.
Room Temp: 26-28C
Device temp before the game: 31C
Played the game (Duck Tales Remastered) for 10 mins.
Device temp just after the game: 35C
I dont play games on my phone due to this. Is this normal, or shall I be taking the phone to Samsung official here?

all OK..HTC phones gets hot they reach 90c ..therefore no problems if your phone can get that warm..it's a PC powerphone..you have an Octavia core processor..and likely nothing what cool down..on PC you have a fan..or..simply think about that such temperature is normal
...
Mine is weird. If i watch video ok YouTube o browser based video, my phone can get pretty hot. But when playing games, it doesn't feel hot lol
I have the same problem, when i use Chrome it gets very hot about 72C .... Did i need to send it back?

Dude stop advising people that it is acceptable to have a phone reach 90c...
Anything about 40-50 is an issue. These arm based cpu have low thermal limits and usually do not get excessively hot under normal to light heavy use
My s6 is not warm to touch but keeps shutting down to cool off. Now the phone has been off for 10hrs and will not let me charge it due to battery being too hot but again the phone isn't even warm to touch

I was told by store that it was a game but I uninstalled the game and it is still doing it. I also did a factory reset does anyone have any other suggestions
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 Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 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!
I'm no gamer, but I didn't faced any heating issues so far.
Maybe I can't speak about heat as I used to use a galaxy S4 exynos (it's a portable cooker in case you don't know, easily reaching 96°c when just browsing on battery), this never heated, the temperature is about 45°c and it never felt uncomfortable hot, actually it never felt hot even in high external temperatures, I don't game on my phone, also I don't do highly demanding tasks, but I guess this phone can stand very well against whatever demanding task you want..
Ya very less heating in rn4
This phone is cool as... Hm, how to explain this.
Imagine hell.
Now imagine it has frozen.
That's the heat level of RN4. Snapdragon 625 does it job.
My phones been fine, up until this last few weeks...
Where I can't hold a charge for more than half a day... And even running phone a USB socket on the computer, the phone still discharges faster than it can charge. Battery getting hot too... I've tried looking to a culprit app that might be churning the cpu. But even process Explorer isn't showing high cpu use from any given app.
The battery app which shows what apps drain most doesn't seem to show it either.
Really worried and nearly giving up. Might do my first factory reset in the 2 years I had this phone. Maybe time to root it and install another rom, Any suggestions?

Just trying to comfort you - you are not alone!
First, it's my secondary phone and I use it only when I travel. So not sure since when that happens. Maybe since a week or so.
Now I can lose like 30% in one hour, and the phone gets really hot. I used the last 2 days. Example, this morning it had 100% after overnight charging. I went for breakfast and lost 30% in one hour (rarely use the phone when I was out).
Then I charge a little in the car, phone went went from 58% to 64%. Then for no reason battery life was normal again and by the end of today I had about 20% - and then suddenly withing 20 Minutes it went dark.
I have the phone for about 2 years, this problem is very new.
What I try right now after reading stuff on the internet, so it must be true:
Remove all updates to Google Duo (this app can't be removed) and disable the Auto-Update for it in the PlayStore. Lets see..... (it's an app I never used, had to lookup what it actually is). Did that 15 Minutes ago and phone is already much cooler.
Ok uninstalled updates to duo and blocked auto update in playstore... ill see if that helps... Thanks for the tip
I must admit though, this had made me consider getting a new phone... but I dont really want to the phones good (when its working right) does all i need i to do.... Sure newer phones are a tad flashier but not enough to make me jump to get a new one.
Wow, That appears to have worked..... I mean its not really long enough yet to tell but it does appear to have stopped the fast draining and heat... At least for the first few hours....
Thanks
So if it really is duo causing this battery drain, why do no battery analysers seem to show that?
And is it doing it to all smart phone with duo and I guess it's latest patch installed?
Has duo been spying on us? Has it been running the camera and watching us while we sat on the loo, which I'm soooooo currently not doing..........
Thanks! The recent heat issue after an update had me thinking i need a new phone. I really like this phone, its lasted me by far the longest, and best run times of all I have ever had. I was worried about fire, did a full factory reset with no installed apps, but heat was still there. I removed updates to Google Duo, and stopped any future updates as listed above, and its running cool and clean again.
Once again thanks for this post!
Yep can confirm now after a few days... no heat no fast draining... Google Duo was the culprit... is it a but that just affected mediatek cpus? Or do all android phones suffer this bug? is anyones heads rolling at google for this farce?
ITs fine and good...... no options.
While charging and playing games or using heavy data apps.... it wont get heated like expected when connected to electricity.
When on power banks it works otherwise , gets charged and increase in temperature.
One of the best thermal performance I have seen on a smartphone, thanks to the Snapdragon 625 chipset powering the phone. It had no competition back when it was launched.
Using this phone for gaming almost baked my hand
Not sure if you guys experienced this, but I was playing around with the Google Assistant in Akinator and my device temperature went sky high up to the point where the phone notified me that it has to dim the screen and take action against that.
I set my phone to the max resolution and framerate, and I also keep it in the silicone bumper they shipped.
Did you guys ever see this happen too?
P.s. it wasn't charging.

No issues here, in fact I've been impressed with how cool it stays. Hammered some benchmarks and it barely went over 45c
This is obviously just sat idling now but I've been using the phone for over an hour on max resolution, 90hz and no power saving.
I faced the same in two instances. One, when I was transferring files through Xender. Second, when my Google Photos were syncing with cloud.
Received the same notification as well. The phone was untouchably hot and battery drained a lot faster.
My assumption is whenever there's a big load of data transfer, the phone turns unbearably hot.
I really don't know why you're experiencing this, I have barely put my phone down today and it's been ambient temperature at best including when playing COD. I've got a fair sized file transfer going here and temperatures are absolutely fine
I should also point out before my first screenshot at 10am I had 17 hours standby. I've used my phone on and off all day for web browsing, music and some gaming and in the second screenshot 10 hours later I still have 30% battery remaining and it's not once gotten hot at all. Running 10.0.3 since yesterday afternoon.

Great to know that, I have no clue why we are facing this then. I was hoping it will get better with the future software updates.
Also, there's so much less to read about OnePlus 7T Pro compared to OnePlus 7 Pro. Seems a lot of people did not go for it hence the development is really less, I hope it catches up soon. Waited for so long to get a OnePlus device.
I am facing the same issue, sometimes I'll be doing literally nothing but messaging and the phone will become uncomfortably warm like in the 60's - 70°c also my battery life is quite lower than expected around 4 hours SOT I'm going to try a factory reset and hope for the best
Having exactly the same issue, brand new unit. Delivered today, CPU temps reaching 85 Celsius ! (updated to latest Android 10, not charging, not playing games or doing any intense tasks).
I own a OP6 and OP2 and never felt such uncomfortable heat while holding the phone, hoping its just a deficient unit and not a general problem with the OP7T Pro.
Pic attached.
Google hasn't had the best track record with their previous Pixels. They've all seemed to have at least one hardware issue. The Pixel 5s have overheating problems for example. Just wondering if anyone has run into any issues?
Haven't heard of any... but it's early in the game!
My 6 got hot during the initial setup, but once I turned off the 5G it cooled off a bit and I stayed on Wi-Fi.
Only a bit of warmth during initial setup, nothing that concerned me much.
The phone got very hot during charging.
Ok i just received my pixel 6 pro few hours ago and i am noticing heat issue around the back, starting from curve area, as i keep on using i can feel temperature in the back and screen as well. Really disappointed. I dont know what shall i do next

I am having the same exact issue. I went to the store and they told me that they will send the phone for assessment and will take a month. Ridiculous
Nope!
Video recording literally stopped after 7 min of 4k 60fps because the phone got too hot.
I got a message telling me to wait until the phone cools down. The screenshot of this message didn't even save..
My pixel 6 pro is getting hot during normal use too. Guess they need to update.
Yes it is getting extremely hot only by using insta, facebook, TikTok. No games installed. Left side of the phone starts getting warm then screen and back.
My phone was delivered on 26th Oct still have same issue. It looks like it'll be a case like snapdragon 810
My phone was overheating and battery drain a lot but since i put 4G on prefered nerwork, battery isn't draining anymore and don't heat no more.
Usefull or useless ?
My Pixel 6 Pro overheats recording 4K 60 and stops after 10-12min. Room temp 25c with no case.
I tried 4K 30 with the same results.
1080p 30 on the other hand can keep on going indefinitely I think. I got a message at 28min that the phone is getting hot, but it didn't stop the recording. Around 40min it reached thermal saturation and was fluctuating between 43c and 44.4c. I stopped it at 48:49min.
I think the new camera sensor overheats before the SoC and stops the recording.
my pixel 6 is overheating on a daily use. battery tab in setting telling me Instagram is sucking the battery, so I guess it's because of Instagram.
pixel 5 performed much better, to be honest. the battery also doesn't last that long. it's kinda disappointing. i thought it could be because my initial install somehow went wrong, so i am actually right now backing all up to do a factory reset. But after finding this thread, i seem not to be the only one, .. struggling with the idea to send it back.
do you think they will fix it? nobody else seems to complain. i mean no review ever said anything about overheating..

i will give this a try. if this will still drain my battery and overheating the phone I will go back to my pixel 5. glad I didn't sell it that fast
My pixel 6 is overheating on 4G/5G and battery drains fast. Browsing YT, video freeze and hangs. Same scenario, but connected to wireless network, getting +8h SOT, no freeze, no heat.
Just so everyone understands.
The P6 back cover plate is a heat sink.
The back plate is lined with copper to pull heat away from the electronics.
So with this in mind, the back plate can get hot while charging or heavy use.

Yeah, this has been surprising to me. So either Google is sending an altered version or reviewers don't use the phone that much and just make the video. Literally everyone I know who got the pixel 6/pro can feel the heat within few hours

I'm kinda glad to hear I'm not the only one, but it's pretty disappointing.
I now factory reset my phone without transferring old data from my old phone, just used backup'ed data from google one.
I need to test that out. definitely changing the preferred network type from 5G to LTE helped a bit. but battery performance still seems to be horrible bad in comparison to the Pixel 5.
it seems like you can not rely on youtube reviews for smartphones nowadays :/ looking at you Marques
I do run my phones with a case so sometimes hard to tell. Only time I experience warmth is running a couple mobile games, but they did this on my Pixel 5 as well. No extreme overheating or extreme battery draining experienced.
