I remember reading somewhere that it was a software not hardware problem so JB could have a fix for it.
I've never had an overheating problem. I also don't recall many having that problem.

Overheating? I've never had any of my phones overheat, on GB, ICS or JB.
Are people really having serious overheating (as in phone crashing or shutting down from heat) on a stock device? I have a feeling anyone overheating on ICS is running a custom ROM with voltage changes or overclocks.
My GNex on AOKP and stock voltages does overheat while, for example, playing Modern Combat 3.
Ok maybe overheat is a wrong term a bit since it never crashed or force closed. It just gets fairly hot in the area above camera.
And I'm asking people who did have the problem and upgraded to JB.
My GNex does seem to be running hotter than normal on JB than ICS but not by much. No serious overheating problems at all.

Getting hot and overheating are completely different. The phone gets hot where the battery and processor are, that's just how its going to be, especially when playing 3D games.

No no, my battery stays fairly cool (39 celsius degrees) but the area above camera compared to that is really hot. Way too hot than I think it should be. My previous phone - HD2 was never that hot unless I overclocked it.

Around the camera is where the processor etc. is. The HD2 is also severely less powerful than the Galaxy Nexus.
My cdma nexus doesnt seem to get as hot. I havent really noticed it as much as i did on ICS.
I've been getting overheating since Jelly Bean. Keep in mind that google "improved" things by ramping the CPU up when the screen is touched, even if it's to do a simple task that doesn't require full CPU power... this might exacerbate the overheating issue if you're actively using your device.
Way less then usual. Maybe 50% less. when it does it gets a bit hotter.
So in conclusion I think it's better at this job then ics.

It doesn't ramp it to full clock speed, it ramps it up one step, or two, whatever.
Ramping it up to full speed on every touch would murder the battery.

I've tested it. It ramps one CPU to full clock speed when you move your finger around the screen.
Try it yourself. I wish I could turn that feature off since using Swype has now become an issue...

While on ICS, it'd get up to around 70°C. Now on JB, it usually tops at around somewhere in the 60s°C.

Its not so much a fix, as an improvement. Heavy 4g or calls still heat the phone up, but not as bad. remember that there are a lot of fast electronics crammed into a tight space, so its always going to get warm/hot. It seems to come down to better battery use. Its only getting better and better.

data/voice will always heat up your phone. simple as that. i'm just glad that playing games dosn't seem to overheat it.
on my nexus one, if i was playing a kairosoft game my battery got up to 115F+ in no time.
Yeah, when the device is actually being used, its going to heat up no matter what you are doing. But just like a regular PC, it depends on the load of the tasks as well
No overheating problems here. I would hope Samsung has a failsafe and shutdown if it overheats. Otherwise I only get hot when playing a netflix movie over mhl. Amazon movies get warm. Everything is not even a concern.

So I'm running a custom kernel with lowered voltages... even over wifi this thing runs hot. After about 15 minutes The screen emulates heat don't even have to touch it to feel it. Even underclocked its still running warm. Coming from a single core you would think having another core would reduce some heat but my epic never got this hot at all. So how hot does your nexus run? If I would guestamate I would say around 100° or so. The brightness isn't that high however my rgb values are pretty high at least the blue value is. I like a cool screen temp.

go back to stock kernel, you can undervolt/underclock the stock one too!
I run around 119°F at the hottest I've seen, regularly. So you're fine.

Wifi on, surfing webpages on Chrome Beta for maybe 15 to 20 minutes, then the casing gets pretty hot.
I'm sure it's high 40+ degrees Celsius or maybe 50+
Sorry for not including details
All units are in degree Celsius.
Idles at 32
Normal use not sure, but should be around 30+ range
It only runs that hot when really pushing the phone hard for me.
Don't forget ambient temperature makes a big difference also. And case trapping heat.
...of the people, by the people, for the people...
So I downloaded b35 of aokp. Wiped data... and dalvik. Formatted the system and now its cool as ice. I'm on the charger running at 1.2 and its not getting warm. Before I was @ 900mhz and it was getting really warm... I'm amazed at what corrupt data will do.

Hey everyone, just thought I would let it be known that (at least on my phone) overclocking past 1.8GHz causes horrible clicks and pops when listening through the headphone jack. I am using the Rogers Stock ROM with the latest KT747 kernel, and the issue appears when clocked to 1.89GHz, even though the rest of the phone runs stable. Took me a while to track down the problem!
I was hoping people with other kernels/roms/configurations could weigh in to see if this is an isolated or a widespread issue. For the time being I have just decided to overclock manually when it is needed.
EDIT: It appears after more testing that it was the kernel itself. Switching to stock kernel fixed the problem.

Suprisingly the temperature increase is hardly noticeable. I tested while playing N. O. V. A. 3 and a few other games. My One XL got burning hot while overclocked to 1.7GHz, even though it's the same chip, which I find strange.
I had this probelm as well on my SGS3, ended up exchanging my phone for another reason and the new phone doesnt do it anymore.

The galaxy s3 explodes with stock temps, I would be afraid to oc to 1.9GHz Oh, and I would edit the title from [FIX] it's kind of misleading since there isn't a fix here.

I'm a power user. I do just about everything with my phone, including lots of gaming with emulators. Perhaps I got a higher than normal quality chunk of silicon, but the phone didn't overheat at all, even when overclocked. The only time it got noticeably warm was while overclocked, gaming and charging all at once.
To those having this problem, it appears it wasn't related to overclocking after all, as the issue appeared a day later on stock frequencies. Changing back to a stock kernel fixed the problem.
In the end I sold it and bought an international SGS3 from eBay. I don't care for LTE, but the Wolfson DAC and Mali-400 GPU appeal to my usage case nicely.

Seeing posts like this just make me cry inside...from the day I first got my phone and activated it, I have been having overheating problems. No one would take my device back so after my 30 day "return" period or whatever, I decided to root my phone to underclock/undervolt to solve my problem....but even know, my phone gets warm by just using stock Browser after a fresh install (not Chrome or anything else) WITH underclocking.

Hello there xda. I bought my first SGH-i747m(Canada Bell version) and it had a pretty serious heat problem when I did use my cellphone doing anything for more than 5 minutes. After 15 minutes it usually bothers me too much so I just stop using my device.
I didn't try anything to fix it yet other than using a JB rom(ParanoidAndroid) on both my first device, and now my second device. They both do the absolute same thing. The bottom half gets really hot while the top half stays really cool.
Is that a common thing? If so, is there any fixes? It's really horrible to use a half hot/cold device, even worse than using a fully hot device.
Nah
Try turning Powersave On.
I had issues with overheating too.
Now they are all gone.
I'm running Nostalgia 7.5
It gets hot at the bottom because that's where the CPU and all that good stuff are, and that good stuff gets hot. Mine doesn't get crazy hot down there but it is definitely warmer down there then the top, that much is normal. Yours may be to hot down there however... Idk. But I've seen others with this issue cool the phone down with custom kernels. I've also seen people say custom kernels make there phone hotter.. Try it out.

I'm on custom JB, so there' no "powersave".
I guess I'll try different kernels etc. I'm quite close to actually selling the device, overheating is one of my pet peeves.
Are you sure its overheating?
Like the gentleman a few posts up said. Depending on how you use it. The phone will get warm.
It should never be actually hot, to the point where it will harm you if you pick it up.

try going back to stock, all of a sudden the phone doesnt get as hot.
or try underclocking your kernel on custom. AOKP and CM both have an out of the box clock of 1.8 Ghz.
tune it down to 1.3 or 1.1. issue gone.

I feel like I shouldn't be complaining, and that it's not "overheating" but it's getting warm. I'm used to my SGS1 which runs ice cold whatever I do.
I just underclocked it, but I don't even feel the difference. I'm now running the new ParanoidAndroid with the custom kernel recommended in here. It has all the tweaking tools necessary.
Happened even on stock ROM
Mine runs a bit warm too. It is warm to the point where is gets uncomfortable to keep in my pocket at times and as far as I know it is doing "nothing". It will be fine, then I check an email or G+ notification then it goes crazy.
One commenter suggested going back to stock but mine has been doing the same thing since then, it just seem a bit more regular for the last few days. I am now in KyanROM 1.3. I am going to give that po.wer save thing a shot over the next day or so and let you guys know how that goes.

I notcied it is overheating when it's on LTE and the battery drain fast. I turned LTE off and I am using 4g or wifi and i don't have this problem
I noticed my phone started connecting to LTE since this week too but my overheating problem started long before that. What I noticed though is that the battery also started to drain a lot faster when it started. For the battery drain, I am thinking it is either that LTE thing or a rouge app trying access my GPS a lot since the icon keeps popping up more and more in the notification bar "searching". For now I have disabled LTE and GPS until I have time to investigate them.
By the way, I tried using PowerSave, as someone suggested to help with the overheating, but it screwed up how some of my emails are displayed so I turned it off.
I'm not exactly sure why its been overheating, I've noticed its been like this since I rooted. I've tried multiple roms, all 4.2.1 so I'm not sure if its that. Either its messing around in the camera, browsing the web, or in the system settings changing settings it usually begins to heat up.
What can I do to fix heating issue? Its usually 100+ temp.
Have you messed with CPU frequencies or voltages? If you OC, that can make your phone get hot. Or having your brightness high for a long period of time can as well. Your phone might also just not like certain kernels. Try going back to stock via Odin and see if it goes back to normal.

I haven't OC but because of the heating I've tried under clocking. The tempt stay below 100 but, the phone became sluggish. Lower the brightness does have an impact on the temp. but it only slows it down compared to when it quickly became hot using applications.
I'm not exactly sure how kernels work but would I be able to use the samsung stock kernel on my AOKP rom while still keeping the features I'm already using?
You might actually have a faulty phone. You're the third person I know with an overheating issue. But the only difference is you are rooted. everyone else is actually stock and they have just bought their phones recently. One phone was only a day or two old and the other was under 3 months old. There is a chance you may have a faulty phone. But who knows.
