I think it's pretty normal. 35c is also the temperature of your hand(well 37 actually)

get a good sd card class 10 may solve the heat problem

Why? What has the SD to do with heat?
@ OP:
Sometimes mine is almost too hot to touch near the camera when using heavy CPU tasks + HSDPA, so yours is fine.

35 is pretty hot, but I've had 40+ before. Never above 45 though.

35 just normal,but dont go above 40,something might happen
from the ARC

Thank you guys!

don't worry about just 35 it's normal but if you reach 40 or 45 it is a problem.

No, also ok

Do you mean the CPU temperature? The Arc don't have a temperature sensor on the CPU. You only can see the battery temperature.

I downloaded an app to improve battery life... It just made my battery temperature go up to 65 degrees Celsius... I removed that app fast as..... And week never use it again... My telephone still works
Sent from my LT18i using XDA

Not all the apps give a correct temperature value. Onetime I used a app that told me that my battery was 95 Celsius, but that was a bad value, haha. When u use my phone a lot, the battery temperature goes to 35 Celsius, but that's normal.

It´s normal.. I´ve 35º too..

arc s getting really hard
hi there
I bought my arc s about a month ago,its getting very very hot when using wifi for less than 10min,playing game makes similar effect.

First off all, you can volume down the noise from a phone. But gets the phone hot to on stock? Are the voltages set good? Maybe is undervolting a option for you?

My arc is clocked to 1.4Ghz and it runs perfectly even when running games with wifi and bluetooth on playing through a mw600 and mn800 liveview

My phone is everything stock plus rooted. The past few days my arc s has been reaching upto 38 C. I dont understand why.

Strange, i was going to say maybe voltages are off but if its stock it should be fine i would think

How hot does your S3 get?

When I'm on mobile data with GPS running, I noticed the bottom of half of my S3 getting pretty damn warm. Is this normal?

Just started using mine I'm feeling the same heat

No heat here.. downloaded a 840mb file over 3g for A span of like 3 or 4 hours and didn't get any heat at all

Mine also gets quite warm. I can't believe yours wasn't cooking after downloading that file

Are you guys all running stock kernel and ROM or custom? I'm on stock.

Ha! Try hours with GPS, Bluetooth music and Tethering on... the heat seems to really hit while I'm charging and doing all that. Fact! I can't touch the ass end of the phone. It probably gets about 8 hours a week like that. Still working perfectly. Samsung tells me it's normal. It also has a lot of factors for me too. I use a 1 amp charger. After 96% it's not so bad. At night when brightness is down. Not as hot. I tried to get it to mess up but couldn't. GPS, Bluetooth, tethering, charging from 30% and 100% display, and I pushed out to a low coverage area. Didn't miss a beat or melt. Lol.

Navigation makes phones really hot, but with normal usage it should stay within 30-36°C.
I like this phone's heat management more than my old phone. My Evo 3d would get hot from 10 min usage.
On this, my screen has been on for 2 hours straight and I'm running at a cool 35.1 °C.

When I was running CM10 for a day or two I thought my phone would melt but it was also 90+ degrees outside so it was hard to tell. My phone gets a little warm, but nothing too worrying.

When you downloaded that, were you on stock ROM and kernel?

This is to be expected. It is pretty high clock rate too but seriously a huge improvement from the gs2

It actually shouldn't be expected. The Snapdragon S3's also ran at 1.5ghz and was pleasantly cool and the Exynos on the Galaxy Note was at 1.4ghz. Both are less power efficient and should run hotter than the S4. I've used the Evo LTE for a while with the same S4 and it barely got warm on a hot day. The issue is with the second core being weird. For those that hasn't already, make sure you flash Freeza's fix, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790061 . This fix made my phone cool and got rid of my quickly draining battery life.

Most of the time my phone will stay within "normal" (to me) range, but when I game heavily... it turns into an oven range! I've gotten so paranoid a few times, I took the battery out and let it cooled for 5-10min

Im having the same problem....it isnt the software thats causing this its the hardware
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I hope you guys will repsond to this... What do you consider to be "normal" temperature for your phone to reach? Is 35 degrees realy normal? Ive heard people with s3 talk of theirs only reaching temperatures of 29 degrees max.
Thanks.

htc one x 4.0.4 heat ?

I have been waiting for 4.0.4 to fix the 3 dots problem and reduce the heat , the battery got better , but the heat is still so much , when gaming or opening wi fi or the mobile network for a short time , I am on Stock with the latest OTA ' so i wanted to know is it something usuall for all stock users , or it is something with the mobile , so at least i will try to get a replacement

I don’t play intense 3D games, only few simple 2D puzzle type games, With those games the phone only gets barley warm (nothing out of the ordinary). When using WiFi for browsing, youtube or audio streaming its even better. NOw I'm on Viper X 4.0.4 custom ROM. but I had stock 4.0.3 for couple of months before that and I didn't notice a difference.

Stock everything and battery regularly hits 110° both charging and just listening to music off charger
Monitor the heck out if it but runs hot. Had no real heat problems with gs3.

Mine gets quite hot too. Before the latest update, I noticed it would hit 56-57 °C and the battery health would say 'Overheat', but now it's better. I haven't seen it get over 48 and the screen doesn't heat up so much (before, I actually had to let it cool for a while because it would burn my fingers), but the battery isn't too different - it goes down about 1% / minute when playing THD or graphically-intensive games.

48 is the temp that "overheat" triggers on.

Is it for real or is it just an general rule in Android? I mean, is it really not supposed to go into overheat, or does the system just report that for all phones and the Tegra is fine even at higher temps?

htc have added that, once the battery hits 48c it counts as over heating and stop charging until in drops below 48c, most batteries are meant to be kept under 60c so 48 seems a bit low, maybe you could email HTC about it.

I have contacted HTC and they have confirmed everything is fine as long as the temperature remains under 60 °C, just like you said :good:
Thank you again for your answer

Is there any overheating on your Arc/S?

Just wanna know that is your phone have any overheating problem when doing / playing games, and is that normal for getting 50°C of the cpu?
Sent from my LT18 using xda app-developers app

mine heated up pretty bad when I did play games, but I don't know what °C is considered an 'overheat'

Every damn time when I throw in ICS on my Arc S - the overheat problem is there. It's frustrating.. Specially when trying all available custom ROMs.

Anything over 40 degrees is considered harmful to your phone in general.
I've had my phone to warm up to almost 45 degrees. GPS + Data is the culprit for that. Games can also heat the phone up as said before.
Sent from my LT15a using xda app-developers app

Ive only noticed it gets a little hot during charging. I dont play any games

well, how exactly you monitor cpu temp? I only know my battery temp, 37°c right now. when use data temp can raise to 45°c, cellular signal here pretty bad here.

Is there an app for checking cpu temperature I can't recall finding that in settings?

Cpu Temp

Hey all, any idea how hot it is safe for the cpu to run? Using trickster mod to read the cpu temp after a few hours my cpu can reach close to 70 degrees Celsius and the screen feels hot. That seems a little insane. I thought it was aosp rooms causing this but after switching to i747z I can confirm that is not the cause of the heat. What do your cpus run at? Any ideas?

The battery temp or the cpu temp?

Mine tends to get hot too, sometimes almost too hot to touch.
But never over 70F.
Usually between 20F and 60F, it tends to stay around 50+ during activity.
Im not really comfortable with how hot this thing gets sometimes. I'd be downright alarmed if my cpu temp was over 100F.

Oops, that's battery temp
CPU temp seems to stay around 40C
My bad!

Okay guys this thread gave me the answer i was looking for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725813&page=4
Turns out at 70 samsung starts throttling the kernel to cool it down so anything up to 70 celsius is totally normal
