[Q] phone heating up - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I was playing some granny smith and I couldn't help but notice the bottom of my phone was getting fairly hot. I checked the temp of my CPU and it was around 35°C. I'm on loserrom 1.6 but have noticed this on stock ROM. I guess I'm asking if anyone else has had this happen to them?

Mine hits about 33 Celsius playing some games on AOKP 4.2.1

It's quite normal. All electronics heat up after excessive usage. But yes, even for my Galaxy S3, from normal usage, could get quite hot.

Does your SIII heat up at the bottom when under heavy load?

Just curious if anybody else's gets pretty warm after surfing the web and listening to some music or another instance was while video chatting with my wife? Is this been the case or do I have a defect. The vibrant I came from never really did.
Yea it gets a little warm but nothing to worry about. Let's not forget how thin the back cover is.... So you will feel it warm.

Yeah, mine gets warm. I don't consider it "HOT"
Ditto....it heats up...and i feel it through my case...have not given it much thought thou.

yup definitely gets hot. Usually it's ok but when it's really hot outside it can be bothersome but not to the point that it burns or anything. At least not yet lol.
Thanks guys, I feel better.
If you are too worried use some app that will display battery temperature. I use wifi tether. My battery goes to max 37 degree Celsius after gaming for half an hour. That's not bad considering the battery is designed to operate upto 60 degrees.

Mine gets hot after about 20 minutes browsing the web without letting the screen turn off once, but it always cools back down really fast. I was freaking out the first couple of times this happened because T-mobile's exchange policy is retarded and slow. I waited long enough for the phone I didn't want to have to wait longer for a replacement. I also have an issue that has been happening ever since I bought the phone. I tried searching, but got nothing. com.process.google.gapps always force closes, but after I hit okay everything runs great. When it happens it does freeze everything on the phone except the notification bar. Then when it finally says com.process.google.gapps has stopped and needs to close, I just hit the okay button and it's like nothing ever happened. Anybody else have this problem and if so know what's causing it?
Mine can get pretty warm too to the point where my hand gets greasy/ sweaty a little .. gets annoying

Used my phone for navigation yesterday, perched on my dash in the blazing sun, screen on for an hour and GPS on using Bluetooth for music. Got to 44.8C.

Did you have any issues? Like the phone slowing down, rebooting or even shutting off due to an over heat?
Mine gets warm as well, but not "hot," so I don't worry about it.
After flashing new kernel. It doesn't feel so warm. I don't run it overclocked.

How hot does your S3 get?

When I'm on mobile data with GPS running, I noticed the bottom of half of my S3 getting pretty damn warm. Is this normal?
Just started using mine I'm feeling the same heat

Are you guys all running stock kernel and ROM or custom? I'm on stock.
Ha! Try hours with GPS, Bluetooth music and Tethering on... the heat seems to really hit while I'm charging and doing all that. Fact! I can't touch the ass end of the phone. It probably gets about 8 hours a week like that. Still working perfectly. Samsung tells me it's normal. It also has a lot of factors for me too. I use a 1 amp charger. After 96% it's not so bad. At night when brightness is down. Not as hot. I tried to get it to mess up but couldn't. GPS, Bluetooth, tethering, charging from 30% and 100% display, and I pushed out to a low coverage area. Didn't miss a beat or melt. Lol.

Navigation makes phones really hot, but with normal usage it should stay within 30-36°C.
I like this phone's heat management more than my old phone. My Evo 3d would get hot from 10 min usage.
On this, my screen has been on for 2 hours straight and I'm running at a cool 35.1 °C.

When I was running CM10 for a day or two I thought my phone would melt but it was also 90+ degrees outside so it was hard to tell. My phone gets a little warm, but nothing too worrying.

When you downloaded that, were you on stock ROM and kernel?
This is to be expected. It is pretty high clock rate too but seriously a huge improvement from the gs2

It actually shouldn't be expected. The Snapdragon S3's also ran at 1.5ghz and was pleasantly cool and the Exynos on the Galaxy Note was at 1.4ghz. Both are less power efficient and should run hotter than the S4. I've used the Evo LTE for a while with the same S4 and it barely got warm on a hot day. The issue is with the second core being weird. For those that hasn't already, make sure you flash Freeza's fix, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790061 . This fix made my phone cool and got rid of my quickly draining battery life.
Most of the time my phone will stay within "normal" (to me) range, but when I game heavily... it turns into an oven range! I've gotten so paranoid a few times, I took the battery out and let it cooled for 5-10min
Im having the same problem....it isnt the software thats causing this its the hardware
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I hope you guys will repsond to this... What do you consider to be "normal" temperature for your phone to reach? Is 35 degrees realy normal? Ive heard people with s3 talk of theirs only reaching temperatures of 29 degrees max.
Thanks.

Note 2 idle temperature 90 degrees Fahrenheit?

I just got a replacement phone from t mobile and it seems to have a heating issue. My other note didn't get this warm while idleing. This screenshot shows Idle temperature of my note 2. No apps running in the background, can you guys report your idle temp, so I can get a significant temperature average.

I'm not sure what constitutes normal but it seems my phone tends to idle 10 or so degrees cooler than that.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid . But I do know it definitely runs hotter than my other device. and it is very annoying to have a device this hot while hardly doing anything on it. I wouldn't consider it overheating by any means but it is still definitely notably
Hotter than it should be. so I'm just going to send it back to T Mobile and request a new one.

Man that's perfectly within specs. Start worrying when is 90 degrees CELCIUS 90 degrees f is less than body temperature. You are worrying about nothing. The processor doesn't even start getting problems until like 75c and above,,... What do you expect your phones operating temperature to be 50 degrees f! Walk around with and Ice pack in your pocket. Plus when the device gets hot enough it shuts down anyways. You cant possibly burn that phone without putting a flame to it.
See that temperature normal.
Is this s troll post, be honest.

My note ll was getting really hot on idle when temperature was around 80f here in Chicago. I have no idea why but now seems to be normal.

Cpu Temp

Hey all, any idea how hot it is safe for the cpu to run? Using trickster mod to read the cpu temp after a few hours my cpu can reach close to 70 degrees Celsius and the screen feels hot. That seems a little insane. I thought it was aosp rooms causing this but after switching to i747z I can confirm that is not the cause of the heat. What do your cpus run at? Any ideas?

Mine usually stays under 100°F.
I wish mine stayed that cool! I'm consistently around 120 farenheit with the screen on

The battery temp or the cpu temp?
Mine tends to get hot too, sometimes almost too hot to touch.
But never over 70F.
Usually between 20F and 60F, it tends to stay around 50+ during activity.
Im not really comfortable with how hot this thing gets sometimes. I'd be downright alarmed if my cpu temp was over 100F.
Oops, that's battery temp
CPU temp seems to stay around 40C
My bad!

Turns out at 70 samsung starts throttling the kernel to cool it down so anything up to 70 celsius is totally normal

45 degrees Celsius - Too much?

Whenever I play intensive games like Blitz Brigade, phone heats up to even 45 degrees Celsius, is that too much and can it cause any kind of a damage to phone, and does phone become slower at that or higher temperature?

I'd like to know too, otherday I was playing with netspoofer running lots of stuff and it was at 65c while charging

@Smoller
It should heat up that much due to the small body. As for the speed thermal throttling will decrease the cpu clockspeed when phone heats up.
@daveyp187
That temperature WILL damage the internals. Desktop grade processors heat up that much during highly extensive tasks.

So let's say under 50 it's 100% safe with no any permanent damage?

When i boot my tablet it starts from 45 degrees. One u feel ur phone is realy hot in ur hands just shut it down and wait until it cools down i always do this on my tablet. Some games makes ur tablet heat up fast i recommend not to play them.

Lol how do you mean when it feels hot in hand, 45 is like blazing hot in hands already when we talk about phones(I mean not literally but compared to usual phone temperature, when turned off, this feels really hot)...?
Anyway if your tablet starts at 45, isn't that too hot? How is it when you play games then?

40~ isn't that hot, you usually won't notice it, but when it gets to 50 you can suddenly feel the phone heating up. My Z1c has never got to 50 though, this is from my experience of using other phones...
No 45 isnt very hot its normal and it starts to cool down till 39 ant i mean hot in ur hand like alot of heat in your hands.
