[Q] Note 2 Overheating Problem - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA,
I have just bought Galaxy Note 2 (using the stock rom 4.1.2), on second day of use I have installed "Need for Speed Most Wanted". After playing about 15 minutes the upper part of Note 2 (around of the camera) started to heat up then I have stopped the app so on that it have returned to normal heat. I am so confused, do you suggest me to bring it back to store? or it is normal? have you ever had overheating on your Note 2 before?
(The mobile data was on, I was not running any apps on background, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi was off, brightness was full)
Thanks in advance!

When im playing nfs ..I also experience this one.. I guess it is normal..as long as the heat is tolerable and not too much

Thats where the exynos processor is!
It's a quad core'd beast phone without any external fans to cool off the heat. It would naturally get hot when playing GPU intensive games such as NFS.
In short its normal for it to get heated that much and all should be well.
Cheers!

And also lower your brightness.. it eats alot of battery considering nfs is also a power hog.. they will make your phone really hot

Anytime

Yeah don't worry about it. Phones ALWAYS get warm when doing processor intensive things. The problem is that phones are getting thinner and thinner, and that means less and less room for the components to breathe! While it's fine and dandy that it's getting warm, it should never get too hot to handle. Otherwise, it's OK .

similar overheating problem
hey guys, i have a similar heating problem with my note 2 but it occurred after i rooted my phone with the toolkit. the overheating happens while just using the internet browser. has anyone had this problem after root?
thanks in advance.

I experienced the same last night when I played it from the external SD Card, not sure if it was the same when it was in the local sd..

How hot is it.. because normally it will feel hot when playing games... try to imagine that a powerful 1.6 quad core is insertet inside a smartphone with no ventilation..

I experience heating also while playing games like NFS, Osmos HD etc. I monitored the cpu temperature and I encountered temps from 55-60C so far. In stress tests I see around 75-80C. I think is kinda hot.

No, only the hind part around the camera lens. The front and/or upper (or even whole) part around the screen is normal. Surprisingly other 3D intensive games like Beach Buggy Blitz and Blood and Glory do not get that hot like when playing with Where is Perry? game, which is a 2D game, but I guess it is more CPU intensive.

These are not problems, the heat has to go somewhere. The cpu operates safely even at temperatures above 80.
If your phone suddenly gets hot for no reason, your cpu is spiking probably because an app didn't release its lock on a high cpu frequency. Kill the rogue app.

Do you have a source for showing the ideal temps for the cpu chip? I must confirm that 65C is normal under heavy load.

Relax.
Battery life for the first two weeks will be appalling, but after two weeks it settles down. You should expect no mpre than 24 hours with average/moderate use though.
Plus for the first 3 or 4 charges, mine was also getting quite warm. What is happening to you sounds completely normal and should get better over time.
What software version is it? (Settings > about > software information)
How much screen on time does he get? (When almost flat: settings > power > battery use > screen)
What is he normally doing when it gets hot?
I noticed my phone was over heating (red/green flashing led) when using YouTube desktop page while charging. Then I turned of the 2d hardware acceleration in developer options (This is off as default) and it stopped. I also gained 30 minutes of screen time.
Also, when you say overheating, these things do get hot, that's normal, can you define overheating?
I use Android Revolution HD 6.0.0 (1.29.401.11) and my phone gets "very" hot after 5 minutes while playing Shadowgun THD.
Not only the backside of the phone, but also the touchscreen gets very hot, so that it doesn't feel comfortable to touch it for more than 3-4 seconds...
Hope this issue can be somehow fixed by new Tegra-Drivers or something else...

You do realise that ambient temperature across the world varies by over 60c? Your statement is meaningless for somebody who lives in northern Sweden or Egypt, for example.
I'm in the middle east our temp is 25c today I just gamed Sonic 4 episode 2 for one hour CPU ne er crossed 72c and batterry around 45c
.....by the way lots of apps in the background will increase temps during gaming
and remember firmware 1.29.401.11is the best in terms of temps, worst was 1.26
Wait for a week or two before you root. In case something is wrong it would be hard for you to return. By the time the hardware will settle down.

I have some apps that see the battery temp. Wich app could you use to see the cpu temp??

S3 getting hot when playing games and..

Hey gang.
Does everyone's s3 get hot when playing games?
Just trying to figure out if it's normal. It feels hotter than other phones I've owned. And want to know if this is common or if I should return my S3
It's really warm when using data (browsing, YouTube etc.) around 95-105°
But gets hot when playing games. Around 120 -125°
Chime in. Would love some feedback on everyone's S3.

I believe this is normal as long as you monitor and don't over clock a lot. Eventually that can kill your hardware.

Been monitoring temps with system tuner under different stress levels. Playing gta3 I pushed temps to 52°C.
Internet browsing has me around the low 40s. At idle the temp is around 32-35C
My ambient temp in my home is about 73-74 F.
None the less this phone is one hot tamale! Lol

The phone gets really warm on stock. The cpu has a temp control feature that if it gets too hot it will slow down. The cpu is made to work up to really high temperatures so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
If you flash to a custom kernel, they are lowering voltages on some of the frequencies and I am noticing an incredible loss of heat. My phone does not get warm anymore, at least no where near stock.

This. Like faux said some of the chips run the same voltage across many frequencies (in my case 1150mv) I was able to lower them into the 850-1050s which is crazy low. Remember power draw goes up exponentially with voltage change.

Is it possible that the American version (dualcore 2gb ram) doesnt get as hot as the international one (quadcore exynos 1gb ram)?
Mine gets pretty hot as well when i play for long times, i guess the main reason why many people are talking about this is that the Chipsets are located directly at the bottom where you would hold your phone while gaming in portrait mode for example. So you can directly feel it and the heat of your hand further warms the phone My Tegra3 tablet gets pretty hot as well in one spot - where the cpu is, but its not a place you normally place your hands, so you wont even notice that it gets warm.
Same thing was with my previous phone the DesireHD. It never got hot on the places where i held it, so you think it wont heat up at all.
In general though: I have some experience with cpu clocking on PCs and overclocking and stuff. It depends a little on the chipset of course but in general temps like 50-70° C are no problem at all for CPUs.
Workaround on SGSIII: Enable power save mode CPU. It reduces the clock to 1ghz (at least on my rom - stock jelly bean polish release), it still runs most games and UI perfectly smooth in jelly bean but it gets considerably less hot.
if i install many apps at once (testing new roms) my phone gets hot

Does anyone elses phone get HOT?

I find my OG tends to get noticeably hot during normal use. if I'm doing anything graphics intensive it get super hot. I have never checked the actual temps but its hotter than any phone I've ever owned (also the most powerful :good: ) the heat does not seem to affect the performance of the device it is just a little concerning to me, I know how computers and high heat don't mix well.
How's your signal? Is it low? Do you roam a lot? These can cause your phone to get really warm sometimes hot if your trying to do something that requires data or any type of signal. Its just how CDMA phones are

First, we must establish that "hot" is a relative term. Unless we get some temperatures going, there is no way to know if my "hot" is more or less that someone else's, and so on. I had an Evo3D. My "hot" is "omg, I burnt my damn ear trying to make a freakin phone call!" My "hot" in relation to my Evo4g was "I used the gps a while and now it's kind of warm". Can you grab a temperature when it's up there on the heat scale?

I returned my phone 3 times before I decided to actually test the temperature of the phone.
Download OS Monitor from the play store.
Per discussion with LG, you should not see temperatures that exceed 113 degrees F. The hottest I got my phone through extensive testing was 105 degrees (GPS on, moving around roaming zones, all while playing a video game).
Don't worry about the heat -- It is normal with this phone. There is always one or two posts where someone says "oh yeah, my phone never gets hot"... Just ignore it
B
Before the JB update, my OG would randomly heat up just from sitting in my office. I get plenty of signal here and don't often play games. I just picked it up off the desk before going to lunch and it was hotter than hell. Like, this-feels-like-it's-gonna-blow-up-soon hot. A quick reboot fixed that until it kept happening every week or so. It hasn't happened once since the update, though.
Over 100 degrees f
Mine got over 100. It sort of burned my hand when I picked it up. I measured the temperature accurately.
It doesn't help that the phone is glass on it's two largest surfaces and has no ventilation for passive cooling. Glass doesn't breathe and retains heat rather well. Probably not the smartest design idea when putting that much power inside a practically sealed glass box with no real means of ventilation.

Little known fact, Kim Jong-Un stole an OG in order and it is actually what is generating heat at the core of his nuclear reactor.
OG's getting hot is widespread. Some measures have been taken to mitigate the heat, but there will always be processes that run that are just going to make this thing heat up.
Mine hit 112 F today. But I was at the beach and it was hot, and the phone is black. So...yea. Under normal circumstances it doesn't get that high. Regardless of what I'm doing.
I use a Sprint S3 and it gets pretty hot too, I've heard the S4 plus (s3 chip set) and the s4 pro (Optimus G chip set) gets pretty warm period. Qualcomm need to optimize the heat output better. But as long as it doesn't stay above 110-115 you'll be fine, it shouldn't fry the chip or anything.

It throttles performance when it heats up to prevent damage. Quad core processor + 2gb RAM + gpu - no forced air cooling = hot. We just gotta be careful.

OG Pro Heating and Screen Dimming

How hot does the OG Pro get? What is the maximum brightness you can set it to when the phone is at its hottest?
I've seen a Youtube video wherein a guy was playing a game for just 1 minute or so when brightness dropped significantly. That was for the Korean version though.
It drops to 76% at its "hottest" which is really just lukewarm heh. The only time it happens to me is when I'm outside in the sun (I live in orlando fl mind u). But honestly I leave it on auto at 50% and even in the fl sun I can see the screen perfectly...

LG PRO go or NO!!!!!
I would be very cautious of purchasing a phone with overheat issues, such as the LG G Pro. I had the privilege of owning and I have extensively tested the Galaxy 4, HTC one, and LG PRO. The LG model was the only phone that had overheated warnings and disabled brightness. I was in a well vented air conditioned building while testing. I am not stating all LG models will be the same. I will say look closely at how many people have had the device shut down or give warnings and it even happened during a CNET review. The LG phone is a great phone, just dont feel like you have to buy a device just because. I am pretty sure better models that don't over heat as often will soon be released.
Since the SGS4, HTC One and OG Pro all use Snapdragon 600, if OG Pro is the only one that "overheated", maybe it's safe to assume that a software update can fix this.
I chalk up any overheating issues to a bad phone. There have been reports of the S4 overheating and while I had mine it never did that and my OG Pro hasn't either so far. Its a mini computer so anything can happen.
I just played with a display model in the AT&T store. The phone was shut off and I used it heavily for about 30 mins running a combination of GLBench, Youtube video, Google+ browsing... The screen dimmed to 92% after running GLBench Egypt 4 times in a row and that wasnt such a big deal.. The worst offender was Youtube while watching video. I watched a video for just a couple mins and the display dropped to 84% and at that point I was really noticing how dark certain colors were looking, like greens and blues. The G Pro is such a gorgeous phone and I really want to pick this up but im worried about this display issue. A 16% display brightness drop while in an air conditioned building after a few mins of watching a video is a problem!
I can only hope for a software update to help this... Otherwise I may join the GN2 bandwagon.

No it is not. It's not a problem of the phone.
Would you mind watching this video?
How many models of top '13year smartphones do you know which allow you keep 100% brightness over prolonged period of time been well under heavy load (gaming, benching) at the same time?
The HTC One has autobrightness feature which silently lowers brightness w/o even notifying you about it. The SGS4 as you've seen, notifies you about the brightness level has been decreased and cannot be raised to full

Well like I said I keep mine at 50% and can use it in full daylight. Ive gotten it to warm up a little but that was stressing it by playing dungeon hunter 4 over 4g and in the 90 degree florida sun. And even after like 2 hrs it only dropped to 76%. That just what I experienced...

You can go to the hidden menu and disable the temp throtle. And the screen will be at 100% regardless of temp. But do it under your own risk. I actually got a higher score in antutu by doing it. But for normal use i keep it on. Only for games i disable the temp throtle. Theres a thread on how to do it somewhere in here.
If you don't find then: Open system menu by dialing 3845#*980#, go down the list, find items "High temperature property OFF" and "Thermal mitigation daemon OFF", check them both to Enabled ON & presto...with thermal mitigation daemon disabled you can achieve as high as 24700 in Antutu and the screen would not dim in hot conditions anymore.
Under your own risk. There's a reason why LG make this.

there aren't "overheating" issues. phones are computers and computers get hot, and phones can get hotter than most think is normal when they are actually just at normal operating temperatures. i have a nexus 4 and i have read about others getting their phone up to 90 degrees Celsius before it shut itself down because of the possible battery damage at this high of temps (this was when they were testing to see how hot it can get). even though my nexus feels hot the most mine has gotten to is about 50 degrees celsius which is well within the normal cpu range. now, hot batteries are a different issue, but the plastic in the ogpro is able to distribute the heat away from the battery, so the phone getting pretty hot is not an issue. i mean, obviously if your phone is getting up to 90 C then that could be overheating, but it doesnt sound like anyone has really gotten above 55 C which is perfectly normal and wont damage your phone even though it feels hot. if your worried about your phone getting hot then you can download "CPU+Temp V2" from the play store (its a widget) to see how hot your phone actually is. if you dont like the dimming screen then you can always disable it, but i dont think it is a big deal that it does it because i keep my phone brightness below 75 anyway.
stop worrying about your phone getting warm and just use it!

How do you disable it?
Mine gets E980 get mildly hot just like the Note II but the S4 gets so hot that it starts to lag trust met thats why i switched it for this one
I was having some high heat issues but did a soft reset and it seams to have fixed it... not to mention I have more free RAM and battery life improved a little...
The soft reset consists of removing the battery while the device is on and leaving it out four about 2 minutes. Then reinstall battery and turn on & presto problem solved at least for me.:thumbup:

The thermal throttling/shut off starts at 50C (122F) while the phones are able to go up to 55C (132F). Editing the thermald.conf fixes the throttling / shutdowns.

read me!
A genuine unbiased reply, cuz I have G Pro, S4 and 808!
G Pro is a beautiful butterfly!
Though It has some heating issues. The maximum brightness you can set at the "hottest" is 76%, while is 24% less than the max, anything above 30% would be excellent for indoors, believe me!(you will get habitual to it soon, its good for eyes and affects battery performance too!)
I have GT Racing 2 and Asphalt Airborne. While playing with brightness under ~60, phone doesn't heats up!
It does so only when the load is much, and the screen is above ~75!
(save for 60-75, its a no mans land.. lol )
In a (very)bright sunny day, you will have to use 100%, else 50% will do!
ONE REAL BATTERY KILLER IS IR-EMITTER!
Newbies usually blame huge 1080p screen for eating battery, but in this phone, the IR-remote(app/hardware, idc) is the real problem!
To save battery, avoid using remote, and disable Quickset SetUp and Quickset SDK in Setting>Apps>Inbuilt!
Else everything is fine!
FOR NEWBIES,
As far as 3rd party software support is concerned, I haven't seen any proper ROM other than CM 10.2!
For me, LG UI is better than TouchWiz!
Its Lite(Technically)
it has got themes(icons+widgets), animation effects for home screen, lock screen effects, dual-layout icon set launcher(these are main things most people need a custom launcher for)
Its fast(faster than S4-S600 and equivalent to Note 3-S800 for me!)
I love this phone!
Literally, NOT BIASED!
I MAINTAIN MY PHONE MEMORY(RAM) AND KEEP PURGING MY EXTRA TEMPORARY FILES
MAY BE THATS WHY MINE IS FASTER THAN YOURS!
NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE

Any more ques about this phone?
PM me!
Press thanks if this helps! :angel:

my battery goes off soon in Real Racing 3 game

Recently i installed Real Racing 3 Game in my office mobile Note II. When ever i play, battery drains faster and also too much of heat from back side. is this common to all???
I came to know that too much of RAM usage generate heat, but when i try Task-manage, ram useage was just 800mb / 1.75 GB.
Any help.
I get the same when playing alot of HD games. This has been common since my G1 days.
Small device with the power of a computer and no fan its sure the generate heat.
I always turn the phone off with the battery out to let it cool and everything is fine after

Its normal. If ur rooted try underclocking the cpu. I underclock mine to 1.2ghz and its works all fine. No lag nothing.

Heating problems are common on intense graphic games.
And intense graphic games costs a lot of battery due to its high definition of course. :cyclops:
