The other day I had my phone on my car charger I picked it up and the back was very hot.The phone was only on charge for like 20 mins and it was only like 40% battery. I looked at my temperature and it said 44celsius and I then installed battery indicator to see what it is in farenheit and it said like 110. (can't remember exactly) I've never felt it get this hot before and I was wondering what temperature is to hot for the phone? Thank you for your help. Also what could cause this? A short maybe in the phone?
Were you running a cpu intensive app at that time? When I have my phone charging and I'm streaming videos in 4g, it gets pretty hot sometimes.
Personally I can handle quite a bit of hot but Mila Kalunis on Natalie Portman in Black Swan was just too hot.
Well come to think of it I ran smart bench 2010 and speed pi on it and the set it down and when I picked it back up it was very hot. I guess it's normal for running intensive CPU things. I just never felt it that hot before
Yeah it gets hot when your charging it and in a bad signal area.
If you don't want to worry about charging your phone all the time, You could buy those 2 Epic batteries off ebay, There was a huge thread in the other section. Well worth it because it comes with a additional wall charger.
These phones are pretty heat resistant. This past september just after I gotmy epic I left it charging overnight on the window sill next to my bed. I live in phoenix, when I woke up I checked my phone and immediately dropped it because the glass on the front was so hot. The setcpu widget (was on di08 overclocked to 1.2) read 168 degrees F. Phone was still 100% functional at that temp and I've never suspected that it was damaged in any way.

I was just curious to know if someone else's phone is over heating. Yesterday I was watching a boxing match on youtube with 4G on and it reached to a scary 121°. 4 hours later I was playing the nova demo with the screen at 45% brightness, played for like 20 minutes or so and it reached 112°. Just whanted to figure out if this is normal that personallyI think is not, and also if someone else it's experiencing the same issue. Thanks
Edit: Both of times I was indoorsjust in case someone is wondering.

Mine can get much hotter than that but it pretty much hovers around the 120 range when I'm browsing the web.
I also get this message when charging and watching a video. I need to exchange it. Just need to find a Best Buy store that has one in stock.
What do you use to check the temp?
mine gets real hot as well.. I think it has to do with charging while using though.
Woow thats amazing. Im guessing that those temperatures can be harmful to the phone right?
I use system info from the market to check my phone status very useful

It could be that and the stock charge pushed a lot of power in to charge quicker... But my input is that my phone hasnt even gotten very hot at all..

My phone was just laying in shotgun of my car with the car charger plugged in and the display on, then all of a sudden I picked it up and it was hella hot! 120° read SetCPU and I got shook, ripped the battery out and threw the phone in front of an AC but then I got worried that the extremities could possibly warp the board, so now Im thinking Im going to return my phone! In no way can this be good for the phone, I don't see how it can not get affect it when reaching 120, 130, 140 degrees!!! Im worried that in a week, a month, a year from now something will go terribly wrong and I really don't want to risk it, so I'm real close to returning this phone and just waiting for the Nexus!
I am amazed that a phone getting hot after heavy use is such a surprise to everyone. See any fans? see any ventilation? Here you are using a dual core 1.5 GZ processor, what were you expecting, ice water?
Ahh... Set CPU. So you can't really find the temp until you're rooted?
Hmm

Who mentioned anything about heavy usage and overclocking? CPU is 1.2Ghz stock buddy and I wasn't doing anything on my phone at the time it overheated...I have a Droid Incredible 2, and I run its CPU OC to 2.035Ghz and its never once gone over 105 degrees, so before you go getting all amazed, get your facts straight!
I have noticed this too.
With the phone simply in my pocket, my leg would feel warm. I could grab the phone and the phone would feel quite hot. Not so hot that it would burn my ear, but warm enough that it would feel like there's some kind of problem. Usually, heat = battery getting drained. When I check to see if there's anything running, there's nothing...
Right now, have been listening to Spotify for over 2 hours, and it's cold as ambient temperature. Will try installing some monitoring program and report if I notice more heat issues. I know the Evo3D used to get "burns my ear" hot when using it as GPS while connected to the car charger. My guess was that if the screen is on, and there's power going to it, it'd always get hot. Maybe it wasn't supposed to and that was just my assumption. However, same thing happens to this one; watching netflix, or playing a game, or anything demanding, and if I'm plugged, it will get really hot, really fast. If not connected, it won't get as hot, but "normally" hot nonetheless.

That you know of, did they ever fix the issue on the Evo3D?
Let me put it another way. I don't see any process or feature that will cool down the phone when in moderate to heavy use. I expect it to get hot. I have always thought, how are they going to disperse the heat?

Ill second this srongly, I think than anything over 107 with this technology is NOT friendly at all.

Mine got hot on day 1 from youtube and general setup but after a full nights charge it has been great for 2 full days, no heating up or anything weird.
But man did it get hot!
Edit: I turned off gps the night this happened. I have been using my phone alot and have not experienced this again.
You need a dose of Penicillin and Cortizone. The burning sensations should clear up. In the mean time, stay away from strange phones and turn off the vibration loop - LOL
Sorry, but I've done quite a bit with my phone (videos, NetFlix, etc...) and it doesn't get warm enough to burn.
An Intel CPU (i7, for example) can run at 200 degrees Fahreneheit. In fact, the roof is about 100 degrees Celsius. To protect the CPU, there are heatsinks, fans, water cooling, etc. Video cards can also go up to 70 degrees celsius before showing artifacts; some can do much better.
We're commenting a heat that is not nearly that much for a phone. IF the SOC gets to 100 degrees celsius, that's one thing; 100 degrees fahrenheit...that is the temperature in many places around here.
These SOC don't need such fans, heatsinks, etc, because they're not supposed to reach temps of 200 degrees. They should be self contained.
On my Evo3D, which I passed on to my father, I could smell like something was burning. It wasn't, but it smelled like if it were, around the battery. Yeah, it still gets hot when in use, and specially if connected.
I believe there's also comments that on all new phones, the first few charges, while the battery adapts, the phone may be hot. Of course it had been over 2 months on my Evo3D and it still gets hot.
The E4gT is doing better today, but I haven't thrown any video/games at it yet; nor has it been in my pocket.
I'd say give it a couple days. I know I've reported my own concern, and I'll be checking it to make sure the "hotness" is within reasonable limits.

After playing a game such as windup knight for about 15 min my phone gets really hot and the game starts to lag. I immediately exit the game to check the temp and im getting 117°f. Is this considered normal? Im getting simular results on all graphic intensive games. BTW my screen brightness is set at half way.
Are you running stock clock speeds? Mine got hot on the charger while still stock and I rebooted and killed some junk in the background and the temps dropped dramatically.

Have not overclocked. Im running stock clock speed.
I'm currently running Jellybomb 11.0 and I'm not sure if it was like this when I was stock because I've only had the phone for a couple days and flashed this rom on the 2nd day I had it. But does anyone elses screen get hot when they play games? My entire screen doesn't get hot, only towards the top (where the front facing camera is) gets hot after only about 10-15 minutes of playing a game such as NFS and it cools down with in like 5 minutes of closing the game.
I only have 16 more invites remaining, so hurry!

Old signature that I still have to change.
Yep my screen gets hot too. I guess its normal.
My screen actually gets colder when I am running graphics intensive games that press my cpu/gpu to its limits. How weird.
I'm running VeNuM ice(if that makes a difference) .. And my screen is actually stays the same while playing graphic intensive games.. Sometimes a little bit warm if I'm playing for a long period of time.. but nowhere near hot.. All normal to me
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
-Galaxy Note II Edition
Seems to only happens when I play NFS. If I play too long it makes the full back hot, but it starts at the "top" of the phone where the camera is.
Hm, well its seems like there's mixed experiences. Makes me a little concerned that my phone gets hot so fast in only a certain area of the screen.
Stock. Some make screen hot, some don't. NFS and spider-man do but the less intensive games don't
Swyped On My Beast Note II
Hi there,
I always notice the phone is getting hot even when just doing simple tasks, like browsing. When playing any game, doesn't really matter what kind, the upper part gets so hot, it's almost untouchable.
So I checked the temps when I felt it was really hot and saw some sensors showing temps up to 90-92°C. The processor was around 50°C
After I switched to the monitoring app the temps dropped really fast, a few secs after they were around 70-75°C.
I got these temps in a 25°C room with gps and 4g off, on 40% screen brightness playing some simple 3D game.
The phone never alerts that it gets too hot.
I'm on v20d update, I can't tell the serial now.
I can't link screenshots because I'm a new user, but I used HWmonitorPro and CPU-Z to measure temps, 3-4 sensors showed temperatures more than 80°C , the rest were higher than 70.
I don't think it's normal, but I wanted to ask this here before I do anything.
Thank you for any help.
Try changing the battery see if that helps some times this is the issue if not then u may need to root ur phone and install amplify and greenify to stop the background apps for overheating ur phone and after rooting install xposed..these apps are better run with xposed ofcourse playing heavy games and apps usage can make ur phone hot ...a little warm to much warm is always ok
