Anyone else have an issue with their phone getting scorchingly hot while playing this game? Decided to pick it up since Play store has/had it on sale for .99 and I loved FF Tactics back in the day. Game is fun, if a bit simplistic, but my phone gets really, really hot while playing it. Was using Codename Android 3.4.1 ROM at first, and flashed MIUI since I saw new one was out, but phone still gets way hot either way. Tried on my Asus TF101 with no issue.
Tower defense games are CPU intensive. Its normal. The best you can is under volt to help the heat.
need more high def music...
Franco I've heard limits the heat a lot. Dunno if its true though

The back of my phone is really heating up with only moderate use. Only a few minutes of youtube or angry birds will get the phone hot. The hot spot is only on the right side of the rear camera, or the backside of the front camera, however you wanna see it
Has anyone had the same problem?
My phone gets warm playing wind up knight. I haven't experienced hot yet.

when i've been using mine for a while and then make a call it is rather warm around the earpiece, dunno if thats normal or not.
Your thread title implies the phone is having a problem (ie. crashing, stuttering, FC) getting warm isn't really 'overheating' many mobile devices get pretty darn warm during intensive activities.
Are you experiencing a problem?
I just used my nexus as a wifi tether for my laptop for 3 hours, while charging off a usb cable and usually I get high temperatures usually when doing this with other phones, however nexus was cool to the touch after all this... haven't noticed much heat ever with this phone.... however I'm not a big gamer either.
Facing the front of the screen, the top right corner in an L shape seems to heat up quite a bit - from something medium intensive like web browsing.

No the title does not imply crashing of stuttering. If I did it would have the word 'crashing' or 'stuttering' in it.The title implies exactly what I'm getting. The phone overheat strongly in one spot , from very normal use. Not intensive tasks.
I haven't had FCs or anything like that so far. But it does get pretty hot. It is alarming if I may say.

I have a feeling there is something in that corner that is dissipating the heat. I have a battery temp monitor and when it was really hot in that corner, my battery temp was 40C (30C seems to be normal idle temp) - but the center of the phone where the actual battery is doesn't feel hot.
So I'm assuming the heat is drawn to that corner.
Another thing I noticed (comparing to my previous phone) is that even though it got hot, it cools fast as well.
I get the same issue as well. But it wasnt particularly alarming since my Captivate, Infuse, and Skyrocket did the exact same thing. I have used the captivate and infuse for a long time now. The captivate was purchasd on launch day last year and has been passed down to my girlfriend, infuse is still being used daily by me since launch day as well, and the skyrocket (least used phone) was JUST sold for the funds to get my new gnexus. All of these phones have the same issue. I just figured Samsung phones get warm but thats it.
My phone is fine. I don't even get warm unless playing a 3d game. Charging is unusually cool. And I haven't even felt warmth from heavy hspa use.

to be honest...mine does seem to be getting rather excessively warm at the top right on both the front and back side...it's around where the RAM chip is on the PCB or could be around the CPU (which is more central but *shrug*). I cant think it's normal since i've never had a warm ear when i've been making a call with any phone i've had before!

My GN can be "very" warm at the back where the rear camera is. By playing 720p/1080p video files. Heavy HW decoding I believe.
So there is something. Can't believe no tech news site reported this before. Giving how quickly everyone rushed out to point a flaw the GN.
Has anyone contacted any Samsung rep on twitter or something? Who do we raise our concerns to?
I'm wondering if i should get my phone returned as DOA (since i need to do that by monday) with the getting quite hot and sleep of death and random reboots :|
i havent owned a high end phone like this though, and it's personally my first android phone (other people in the household have had one that i've mucked about with) so i dont actually know what to expect from it really...
I watched a netflix movie over mhl. The nexus got fairly warm. Still no overheating issues or reboots for me.

There is nothing wrong with it....... LOL "overheating" denotes your phone is crashing,stuttering,melting,burning or warning you that its hot....ect. So far nobody in this thread has this issue sooooo..... If the device is functioning properly then its not "overheating" as your thread title suggests. You should have put....does your phone get warm? Yes, just like computer processors they must get rid of the heat somehow this one dissipates it in the back just like most other phones.

except...the front is getting rather warm too. Doing simple things. Is that normal? Probably not. And excess heat + displays = bad. Also rather uncomfortable when you're making a call...if people use phones for calls anymore
Anyone have this condition?
It gets warm with heavy internet usage. But quite hot when playing games.
I was playing 'great little war game' for around 10 minutes then I felt on upper right corner (behind front camera) quite hot. I checked the battery temp it was 43°C. But as soon as I quit playing the temp back to normal.
Just asking if anyone experience the same, is it normal?

Don't quote me as I am not an authority on the subject but usually when a certain spot on a phone starts to heat up, it's easy to assume that the CPU is starting to get hot.
Games are CPU intensive tasks so you will see a specific spot where the CPU is likely to be located getting hot. There isn't much to remedy it since phones don't have a cooling system built in.
My only suggestion would be to try and hold it as such so that you are not directly touching the spot and try taking breaks when you get worried about the phone getting TOO hot.
Most phones will run hot when playing games

I forget what game it was but my iPad 2 was cooking when my wife was playing a game on it recently. It's just the way it goes.

Whenever I play 3D games on my phone, it gets really hot which I think is normal, but the phone also gets really laggy. So laggy that it's almost unplayable. Then I wait for 5 mins for the phone to cool down and go back to the game again and the runs smoothly until the phone gets hot again. Is there anything wrong with my phone or is this normal? I'm on stock 4.0.4 rooted and the game I was playing was Drift Mania Championship 2.

Its called thermal throttling. The CPU throttles down the clock speed when it gets too hot to avoid damage to the chip. I think the heat being developed by this phone is outrageous. Biggest flaw of the device. There is nothing you can do to keep it from getting hot when playing your game. Mine gets up to 90-95 farenheit when simply watching YouTube. Its really bad.
Yeah, it gets a little warm using chrome too , but it's a nice hands warmer during the winter.

Lol.. its honestly sad.. i cant believe they would make something like that. But you could use Ktoonsez kernel and lock the frequencies, however you most likely would damage/shorten the life of the CPU.
Just thought I'd throw this out to see if anyone else has encountered this problem. Yesterday I was using some apps on my Note 2 (TomTom, voip, wifi and 4G ...) and I noticed the top of the phone getting rather hot, to the point that it was becoming uncomfortable to hold to my ear. This was much hotter than normal. I shut down all the running apps with app manager, but the phone stayed hot. CPU was running only about 10%. Finally I had to reboot...then it was back to normal. Its worrying that it could at some time be damaged by overheating. Has anybody had this problem and/or know what might be causing it? Thanks.
i got the same problem when playing a game in 10-15 mins it heated up pretty fast especially the front near samsung logo it was like over 100 degree
The only time I experience overheating is when I'm playing Need For Speed Most Wanted. It happens after about fifteen minutes of play. I haven't had it get uncomfortably hot but I always stop playing the game as it becomes abnormally hot. It's a shame to because I would like to play NFS more that fifteen minutes.

Yes that's the same area, near the phone speaker and logo, where mine was most hot. I'm thinking it could be cpu or graphics processor but I don't know the internal layout of components. But it seems odd on mine that it stayed hot after shutting down any running apps and only 10% CPU. Maybe something running in the background.
That is where the uber powerful quad core monster is grinding the gears of awesomeness at a mind blowing brain zapping 1.6 billion gigahertz lives at. And his girlfriend mali400 lives right next door and she is pumping out all the eye candy she can to satisfy the pleasure receptor s directly into your braiiiiiin.... Lol
In other words yes that's the main processor and graphics chip suckin up the battery. While it does that it's generating heat as a by product. It's completely normal. Nothing to worry about. Happy gaming. And it takes a while for it to cool back down to ambient.
Hope that helps

Did a quick net search on this and found a few forums reporting this problem. i.e. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...es-your-galaxy-note-ii-gt-n7100-overheat.html
I reported the overheating to Samsung Support. They said they have had no reports of the phone overheating...sounds unlikely after several months and millions of devices sold. Support suggests doing a data wipe from the recovery screen as this will "resolve most problems". Really? ???
Could be a firmware issue which Samsung will find and fix if they get sufficient number of reports. I suggest you report it to Samsung Support: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/...click on "live chat" for mobile phones.
Need for Speed is a game provided by (presumably) Samsung. If you can't play it for long, it seems like that represents some kind of inherent problem with the device. My concern is whether the overheating will be an ongoing, recurring problem. That would limit the usability of the device.
It's not clear if this is a problem that is worse on individual phones or if this is a problem common to all Note 2s. If its individual phones, then I'd probably like to return it for one that doesn't do this.
It seems the Exynos cpu is located near the speaker/logo. "System Tuner Pro" app reports system temperature under "CPU"
Mine is overheating while charging..I Woke up to a battery too hot message..the only thing different is I'm using a flip cover now,I took a screenshot of the temperature, and this was already cooled down a little..anybody know what this is? It's only been happening while charging though...

Samsung Note 2 Overheating Culprit
Two specific reasons : Quad core processor, Aluminium wiring.
Reports of deformity of the note 2 trickling in slowly. Try using processor hungry tasks and see it drop its jaw in 2 hrs.
they cant recall it, now its getting cheaper every day.
Try clearing the cache, supposedly things can occasionally get discombobulated. Last time my phone was about to set fire (gs3), cleared the cache & dalvik and it went back to normal.
summer heat

I live in Chicago and summer days are already here. My Note 2 has started to let me down, since yesterday my phone is been up to 40c without any used.44 while charging. I dont think this is normal. Im on stock rom. Thank you in advanced.
Overheating persists
My 2 weeks old Galaxy Note 2 gets abnormally hot on the same area(rear camera part & the front phone calling speaker) while on charging, while playing games usually Modern Combat 4 or otherwise, & i am on stock rom as well. ...if anyone has a resolution for the problem then please share..
Just recently purchased the new Nexus 7 and one thing that is bothering me is the heat from the top(in portrait mode). Especially when playing Minecraft.This heat starts pretty quick(about 5 minutes). I have the previous Nexus 7 but that does not feel as hot when playing Minecraft. I realize the new Nexus 7 has better graphics and a powerful CPU which maybe produces more heat but its getting warm to the point where I can almost say its hot. Its not just the back getting hot either. The glass is also pretty hot and very uncomfortable. Is anybody else experiencing this?
Same problem with me. When i use to play heavy game like NFS most wantes game, my htc sensation get hotter

That's a good sign as you know the heat is being distributed effectively away from the internals. I would be worried if my device felt cold during gameplay. Watch a teardown of new Nexus and you will see that the motherboard was moved to the top from the left side of the previous Nexus.
