Phone Overheating - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

My phone is overheating, it is overclocked to 1.809 ghz and is on Interactive CPU governor. I dropped my pillow on it last night and it went at least to 50 Celsius and had to let it cool. And now it's like 37 degrees by just sitting here...

I would lower the overclock to stock 1.5 and see if that improves it. I have had that issues when mine was OC to 2.1Ghz. Also make sure you don't have a ton of apps running in the backgroud.
What ROM are you using?

try to undervolt your steps using setcpu or any other app that allows you to do so. It worked with my girlfriend's Galaxy nexus

[Q] How hot is too hot?

OK, I've done some searching on here and I haven't really been able to find a definitive answer.
How hot is TOO hot for the battery on a G2/Vision?
When I have my G2 overclocked to 1.2Ghz/1.4Ghz and I'm playing some PSX games, I've seen my battery temperature get as high as 109 degrees Fahrenheit.

One of my SetCPU parameters is set to slow down to about 700Mhz when the temperature reaches 127ºF.

Holy sh*t. I won't let mine pass 102°f
I think 127 is too much.
HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Stable Oc'd to 1.5ghz on Pershoots Kernel
I have mine set to 40.5c (104.0f)
Although I think you could really push it to probably like 120f before you should worry. It also makes a nice hand warmer.
Max: 1804Mhz
Min: 1708Mhz
My phone gets a lot of use at work, so it's usually hovering around 104. If it actually gets to 120, I have a spare battery I can put in.
Thanks for the replies. Sounds like around 104 is the norm for heavy use while overclocked. So I'll set my profiles to underclock around 106-108 then.

[Q] Setting clock speed to 800 -1200 mhz?

I know unrooted desire z devices always work at 800mhz. My device is set to 245mhz min and 1400mhz max (interactive or smartass governor). It sometimes causes my device to wake up a bit late. I wonder how long time my battery goes if I set my device at min 800 mhz and max 1200 or 1400 mhz... Did anyone try this clock speeds?

That's way too low of a min speed, just bump it up to the next (I think it's 386) and you should see noticable improvement.
I'd also suggest the ondemand gov; since it only ramps up to the top speed when needed, then drops it back down again, you should get a bit better battery life.

i read ondemand and conservative governors are od, so using interactive or smartass are better then using others. I will try min 368 mhz but am not sure if it works...
What are you trying to accomplish by messing with the clock speed? Leave it alone at default. Performance difference is NEGLIGIBLE (bottleneck is elsewhere), and all you'll accomplish is eating the battery and burning it up with excessive heat caused by excessive clock.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your comments.
People don't do anything to access root if they don't want to mess device. I am one of them and want to have a device which both has performance and visuality. You offered me to not to change clock speeds. But we know HTC Desire Z is scheduled to work at 800mhz everytime (default). My opinion is just to set minimum clock speed to 800 mhz or something like this. If my device was burn by this clock speed, it was already dead.
Today i tried this clock speed (min 614, max 1382) and during the day it didn't heat up. Moreover, 8 hours passed, i played NFS for about 1,5 hour, made some call and 30 percent of battery left. It seems this clockspeeds doesn't cause battery drain or i couldn't feel it...
EDIT: 13 hours passes, 16 percent battery left (I made minimum 30 minutes of call)

[Q] Things that will cause permanent damage to phone?

I'm not talking about water damage or scratched screen. I'm talking damage that can be done through overclocking or overvolting or frying the motherboard/CPU in any way.
I want to make my Droid last the longest it can. But I also like to see how hot the battery is (to stop phone from baking). So I rooted it and installed cm7, and installed CPU master so I can see how hot it is. CPU master had an update and apparently it makes phones crash because of overvolting, even if they don't overclock (like me). So my phone crashed and I had to pull battery out to reboot it. I really just want to know if I caused permeant damage to the CPU/ processor.
Am I worrying about this too much?
I overclock to 1.5 gHz with no issues. I have also undervolted my kernel as well. Make sure you have a kernel that is compatible with whatever over/under you are trying to achieve.
I've been running mine Oc'd to 1.2 ghz and Uv'd -25. Doesn't seem to have caused any issues. Battery life has been great. I've never noticed any excessive heat from the rear cover when playing games that may tax the Cpu/Gpu and cause heat. I think the Inc2 is built pretty well, and can take quite a lot even when pushed hard
Mine gets pretty hot sometimes I wonder at times if is getting damage, but it has never stop working

I had mine plugged in charging while using gps and playing music for a 5hr road trip (also OC'd to 1.8 ghz no set undervolt) got up to 125*F but nothing bad has happened

My temp stays around 34 degrees Celsius and I'm OC at 1.5.

Hot battery cover and high core temp - what I do?

Hi there.
Since its installed Aokp milestone 5 and franko.kernel milestone 3, the battery on my phone are clearly hot.
Feel it through the rear door.
The temperature reached by the CPU reaches 65 degrees.
CPU overclocked from 729 to 1344 and the Governator on ondemand.
Should I worry about this?
What to do to whit this?
Thx for help.
Have you tried flashing another ROM and kernel combination to see if you get the same results?
You can also try BetterBatteryStats to see if you have wakelocks causing the drain.
Earlier, when I used AOKP Franko.Kernel build 34 and build version of the problem was gone.
Maybe something with the voltage is something wrong?
Maybe someone could give me some reliable voltage settings?

note 8 cpu temp 71 f

my note 8 get very hot when i play modern combat 4 the temp about 71 degree (measured by system tuner ) and the battery temperture about 37 or more and the left side of the screen becomes very hot and the battery drain quickly is this will harm my device sorry for my bad english ??

This might be a question better answered by Samsung (unless it is a carrier model). Many questions though....
Does it get too hot to hold? Are you charging it while playing? Is your tablet oc/ov? What is the ambient temperature where playing?
Here is a previous thread with this same topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251830
Might scroll through the posts and maybe even post there about it as well. Sorry, can't help anymore than this.

yes some times - never charging while using it - iam running the stock rom witout any modification or oc - the cpu temperture while playing about 71 degreer

But its not a problem. Your device will power down or turn down CPUs when you reach a certain temperature threshold. At least I know my phone does. I've never seen temperatures like that on any of my devices. The most I've ever seen even when over clocked to 2.1 GHz is in the 50s. Even then I'm not worried about it damage isn't done until the high 80s 90s. But how are you getting these temps. Are you outside in 90 degree heat gaming? I even have my GPU way over clocked and I never seen 70.

in modern combat 4 it reaches 70 c and the left side of the screen become very hot
Yeah, only problem I had with this device and my Note 2. (same processor). These bad boys heat up. Especially if you do alot of flashing of roms.
Yea I ran my note 2 really hot playing dead trigger last night and overclocked 1.92 ghz plus 733 mhz gpu overclock but I still dont have heat readings of more than 56 celcius. And I have an app that monitors cpu temperature while im playing so I can see it in real time. Maybe your device is having a problem. Oh do you have a real thick case? That can cause heat buildup. If I leave , y case on my note 2 while playing a game it causes less heat dissipation and runs almost 10 degrees warmer. You might wanna consider that

Why will undervolting harm your CPU or battery? I can see stability issues with undervolting and have experienced them while experimenting with the settings. I cant see how it would harm the hardware though. As someone said above. The device should shut down if the processor gets too hot to protect itself. Also, undervolting should reduce the temperature.
The built in powersaving option in touchwiz will underclock your cpu to 1.1GHz. you can set it back to your standard setting with a push of a single button the menu.
I overclock and undervolt and have no worries about damage. I have had issues with my tablet turning itself off sometimes, but it has only happened on particularly hot days. I reduced my OC from 1.8 to 1.7Ghz. And i reduced my undervolt from -75 to -50 vs stock as I was having the occasional crash.
Are the CPU and GPU on the same processor or located in the same area of the tablet? I hear alot on hear about the CPU temp making the device extremely warm but wondered how the GPU acted. If you underclock the CPU, does this put more load on to the GPU when playing games or will the GPU load be the same regardless.
