I don't know about mobile data, but as I was transferring gigs of data from my phone to my computer over wifi, it got really hot. It was also on the charger, so it could have been a combination of factors, since it never gets hit with normal use our gaming.

My note 2 is always hot whenever i download files, play games, and all those big usage things, maybe turning power saving mode on will help?
I'm running at 1ghz, no problem.here.

Is anyone else experiencing a higher data usage than they previously had?
On my Desire HD I was on Unlimited data and I used about 450mb a month. I had pretty much all syncing enabled.
On my gnex I only have Google syncing and I appear to have used 120mb already in 4 days...
I might have to cancel my contract and buy outright on giffgaff..

Have you not checked what's using the data, using the new data monitor in ICS? I had Google Books download 40mb without knowing!

Dont know if its just me but the data usage app is buggy. Still says 211kb for browser after 4 days so i wouldnt trust it.
Ymmm market backup? New phone everything is restoring?

Of course you get much higher usage the first weeks with a new phone. Just as you get "worse" battery time.
This is because all sane XDA enthusiasts uses a new phone much more than the old one the first weeks or so...

That is true, Hmm I ll have mine in a couple of days Ill look at this but for me I have unlimited data plan so doesn't matter really
The data usage app is a bit buggy, as is the battery one.
I set my phone up on Wifi etc. In the data usage for the my Wifi it shows as 900mb..
So effectively i've used almost 1GB in total over 4-5 days. I've only used the phone on data the same as I would use any other phone so I cannot understand why its so high.
It all seems to be random background stuff that isn't open in multitasking :s Think I might return it and buy outright with GiffGaff...
Well, I finally tried out my Mobile Hotspot service I subscribe to from Verizon. I will admit that the speed from the 4G LTE is nice on both my laptop and Transformer Prime. However, the battery life on the Nexus really took a nose dive after using this service with my Prime for about 1hr yesterday during a meeting.
Does anyone have some tips on conserving the battery during this type of use?
about how many hours can u get with wifi hotspot on?
i can get about 3-4hr on my nexus one with constant use... if its on but idling the phone can last 6-8hr

I have had my Galaxy Nexus for a cupple of months now and I noticed that it get so ****ing HOT. I can feel that it burns a little bit in my pocket when the phone is there. The strange thing is that it gets this hot only when I am not connected to wifi or are at a place where the 3g connextion isn't that good, on the buss for example. So what do you guys think that I shuld do? Can I even return it now?
Thanks for answers

Are you going to try and return it?
Also could be the kernel i have the same problem though
The only time I have noticed my phone getting very hot is when I stream music or use Wifi-tether.
Mine gets very hot only when I'm downloading torrents and don't have a wifi connection.
What baseband are you on? Was trying to sort out my phones heat and accompanying drain for ages! Exactly the same symptoms (only when using 3g, particularly with poor signal.) . Turns out my issue was baseband. Switched from kk6 to kl1 and so much better. Might be worth experimenting.

Also it would only get hot like that is data connection is consistently working. You might want to also check if there are apps that are constantly connecting in the background that you don't really need.

I am on baseband I9250XXKK6, have never changed it so I should try that. You know which baseband I should have? I have a GSM/Europe Galaxy nexus.
It solved your problems with the phone getting hot?

Well yes I have apps that requires data connection like twitter but I think a Smart phone like Galaxy Nexus should be able to handle that without getting super hot.
I have a cdma galaxy nexus and my phone gets really hot also but i notice when my phone gets hot it is when their is crappy signal or low 3g signal

My old one used to do that as well and it was a radio hardware issue. Received a replacement and all is well. I was within the 1 year warranty.

It was actually my 2nd replacement. My first issue was with the phone bootlooping (not related to ROMs) after about 3 months after purchase (only rooted). It was that replacement when the radios sucked. Phone was always hot and it ate through a full charge in about 4 hours. The phone was going into a deep sleep when inactive (verified with CPUSpy) and the Phone was eating the wakelock (BetterBatteryStats) as it kept looking for a signal. Didn't matter which radios I used (4.0.2 or 4.0.4) the results were the same.
Turned that phone in stating just the phone was eating the battery looking for a signal (battery showed red for phone signal) and they sent another replacement. This one is ok (running Gummy 1.0.1 with 4.0.4 radios).
I can vouch for this. I usually have my wifi on at work and at home with no heat issues at all. But the last two nights I was at chili's which had no wifi so I turned my 3g on and within 10 mins of super slow browsing my phone was getting ridiculously hot. I read on another thread that if the 3g signal is low or weak then it will continuously ping the server which causes something inside to heat up very quickly whether its the radio or cpu. This is definitely an issue but I'm not sure if its fixable with a new kernel or radio flash.

Hello.
For several days I have exactly the same problem.
Since I install AOKP milestone 5 and franco.kernel milestone 3, my phone started strongly hot.
Temperatures can reach 66 degrees, and the rear cover gets really hot.
Is it a hardware defect or problem is in the settings or Rom/kernel?

The only problem is that I dont have acess to 3g right now, changing carrier.

Silly question but it must be asked. Are you sure that your friend's S2 is with T-Mobile and not Sprint or some other carrier?
Also, are you using some funky aftermarket case that might be blocking your reception?
Third, here's a link to the newest radio. I've tried all and it is by far the best. I get d/l of 27mbit and upload around 3.6mbit. Insane speeds using a touchwiz rom.

yes my friend s2 is t-mobile i dont use any cover and i already flashed that modem no success a little bit faster like 2 more MB but doesn't even reach 5 MB

If you were on CM then it's a known issue but you said stock rom so.... I'm fresh out of ideas. There's no reason why yours should be slower. My speeds are insane and there really isn't much different in your setup. I suppose maybe your antenna isn't connecting like it should? Do you have weak or low signal that is lower than your friend's S2? If they are the same then it's not an issue.
If you are rooted the first thing to try would be to flash each of the radios in the dev section. Could solve your problem right there.
If that doesnt check your build.prop and try a few of these values:
ro.ril.gprsclass=12; 30;31;32;33;34
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.hsdpa=26;28;30;32;34;36
ro.ril.hsupa=7;8;9
You will only use one number at a time for each. I listed multiple as any one of them can be best for you in your location.
My recommended starting values for testing are as follows:
ro.ril.gprsclass=32 then 12, 30, 34
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.hsdpa=28 then 32, 34, 30
ro.ril.hsupa=9 then 7, 8
Good info about these are on Wikipedia.
You will need to reboot after each change for it to take effect. Time and data consuming to test, but it might help you out.
Thats just my recommended testing method. You can of course jump around as much as you wish!
Make sure there is a blank line at the end of the build.prop and also check for and delete duplicate entries.
If all else fails go to tmobile before selling it. Ive heard of a number of people getting replacements for stuff like this, even after the remorse period. If you can get an S3 going good itll blow that S2 away! I see no reason why the S2 should be significantly better in any area!
Good luck!

No it doesn't. If he's not being throttled the plan has nothing to do with his speeds.

well here is an update my phone suddenly in the same place that i tested my gs3 and my friend gs2 started to download very fast 12MB and 10MB wich it was very good :laugh: but then only lasted like 2 hour and then again slowed download speed at 1MB and my friend gs2 kept very fast 9MB download speed is getting pretty annoying that my phone is constantly slowing down speeds with no reason don't know what it could be and im getting angry with this
So I upgraded on Thursday and is in love with this device . But after a day I noticed the device getting warm then hot in the matter of minutes. I troubleshoot the best of my abilities but no avail. Factory data reset, unistall bloat, calibrating the battery still no go. Then I stumble across a YouTube video for s4 with the same problem and the video suggest turning off all the toggles. And it worked!!!! I'm still going to return my device but this was the solution that worked for me.

Must have been unlucky because this is my first phone in a year that never gets warm, the Htc One and LG G2 got so hot I could just hit autoupload with 10 apps in que and then use them for handwarmers on a cold night. I'm amazed that when I have it tethered for hours it doesn't get warm whatsoever whereas those other two devices would get so hot I was afraid they would eventually die prematurely. My guess is some things could have been addressed eventually, maybe not but my Note 3 is just perfect out of the box thank goodness.
You sir, truly need an android and iphone will never be am option to someone who uses their device as much as you. I mean I don't even download 4 apps/games in 1 day lol.

To me overheating is when a device gets so hot that it won't function properly.

Mine does under certain circumstances. But then again I have all radios on including NFC and Bluetooth with a Galaxy Gear connected all the time. It mostly gets warm when doing a lot of data transfer.
I agree it's during data x fer. . Tried gaming yesterday. .. Didn't heat. . But got sightly warm.
But with data x fer. .. It's more than warm. .hot!!
Like if a new person is handed the phone during that time. He will agree that something is not normal

Saying it isn't normal is quite a leap. Remember that the back cover is very thin plastic. Don't just assume something is wrong unless your phone actually hurts you or powers down due to the heat.
G2 and Note 3 (sd800) get warm pretty quick. Neither gets hot for me. Not yet anyway. I think throttling stops my devices from getting overly hot. Obviously ambient temperature plays a part. 75 degrees all day for me. Indoors
Have two Note 3's and 1 G2 on my family account. Replaced one note 3 already for cosmetic issues.
Mine got pretty hot on the first day when I was busy rooting, flashing, and deleting stuff, but now it only gets slightly warm if I'm doing something data-intensive.
Most phones will get hot when using either wifi or the mobile data radio a lot. My S3 used to. It was never too hot to touch but always concerned me. My Note3 however has been quite cool. I played Bloon TD5 for a few hours yesterday (I was very bored) and it got a little warm, but thats about it. If it concerns you, take it back and have it replaced.
I got an update yesterday. Today I tried and downloaded asphalt 1.5gb game. It didn't even warm up. So I'm guessing the update..MAYBE fixed it.

My phone just started to overheat and I am not sure why. The area near the camera/flash is where I feel most of the heat, specifically the SD card area so I removed the micro SD card which worked great for a day and now its back to overheating. What's worse is that it happens overnight to the point where my phone shuts itself off due to battery drain (the phone was not charging and had 100%).
Bout to call tmo for a replacement.
overheat using 3G
I am facing the same issue.
Just bought last week and i find in below case my phone gets overheat. BTW to me, overheat is the set gets so warm that if i put in my ear, i cant even talk cause its HOT.
1. if i use 3G browsing for like 10/15 mins
2. downloading something via WIFI for like 30/40 mins.
i really dont understand whats the issue. how to solve this ? its insane i paid so much for this phone but if it heated up this much... how to use ! damn ...
I've woken up to my phone being extremely hot but it has only happened because of a rogue app I installed turned out to be that Themer was the culprit. I uninstalled Themer and haven't had any issues since. Keep in mind I had Themer installed for about a month and every time they would push out an update I would get over heating problems. Though Themer is still in beta I'll just wait till the official version is released.
