Hello, would like to know is it normal? Everything was turned on, GPS, WIFI, all time 3g network, power saving mode was off. Surf in internet, download few files and use play market aswell. After 30min - 1h i realize screen on the top is warm or hot, im not sure. Looks hot for me, but maybe its normal. I download Battery saver + to check temperature and its shows 35+ decrease. Is it normal or i should worry about it?
Phone is few months old and used very carefully.
Anyone? Should i worry about it? Btw pover saving mode was turned off. At same time surf in
Internet and download few files. Gps, blootooth, wifi was turned on.
I only notice mine warming up when I play games..

Assuming it's cpu temperature that is 35 c, it's perfectly fine, the cpu starts to shut down at >80c.
But that might be your battery temperature you're referring to, which is kind of irrelevant in this regard.
Generally speaking, the phone can get so hot that it's uncomfortable to touch, and it won't be damaged. There is a huge amount of heat generated from the quad core when it's working hard, which has to escape somewhere. If it goes above a certain temperature threshold, it simply shuts down.

My phone's battery only lasts 6 hours. When I get to school (10 minutes away), I'm already at 92%, even if I don't touch my phone at all. By the end of the day it's dead.
This is terrible!
I use it mostly for web browsing, some games (nothing heavier than Angry Birds), some photos.
My old iPhone 3G was able to last for a day, even with WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth on, at maximum brightness.
Is there anything that could help me with this?
I tried calibration but that didn't help a bit.
I'm running Leedroid 3.0.5 and I have S-OFF.
Install current widget and monitor your screen of mA usage. If it's significantly higher than 4 to 10 mA you have sleep issues. If not there is nor much you can do.

turn off always on for mobile data?
AFAIK my frenz who use iPhone battery last pretty much at similar time doing similar task...
Sorry, I need to have data on.

right now it's at 339 mA. that is not right. So how do I fix sleep issues?
Okay, down to 4. I really have no idea.
231 now.
And now 180.
I have no idea how this phone works.
Is it possible to underclock? I don't really do anything that power hungry, except recording HD video, so I wouldn't mind underclocking to something like 800MHz
Try to calibrate your battery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755903
i think you've got some app or process that is draining your battery. your phone automatically downclocks the cpu when its idle. there must be something that is keeping it from sleeping. go into your settings and check on running services to see whats running in the background. i can usually last around 2 full days without charging, but i turn off mobile data most of the time because im always near a wireless connection. i mostly use the phone for texting and browsing and angry birds too. at idle your phone should be using <10 mA.
I already calibrated, and that didn't really help.
The only service. I can blame this on is Lookout antivirus. I uninstalled it, so I'll see if it works better.

I preordered the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint the week before the release, and I've been having heat issues since I got it.
So I paid for "TempMonitor" on Google Play so I could monitor the temperature of the battery but the battery was only 40c and rarely goes above 45c. The CPU however is what is getting hot. When I say this thing gets hot, I mean it, and only while charging and in use. If its not charging, it will get warm but not hot like I'm talking. During light usage the CPU will rise to 55c or more and while playing a game it has gone as high as 65c, it burns to touch the screen at these temperatures and when it gets hot like this the touch screen also becomes unresponsive for multitouch.
Already starred the issue #23044 on android's google code page for the multitouch issues though.
Exchange if possible. Those temps seem to high to offset by anything you can do tweaking wise. Or you have something rogue using cpu cycles keeping the heat up.
...
Do you have a case? My Seidio Active does a GREAT job at insulating the heat coming off the phone and holding it in.
If I'm playing a CPU/GPU intense game or app, it'll easily be 15 degrees warmer with the case than without it.
I do have a case so that's probably the reason. Mostly silicon rubber. I've just never had a phone get so hot I thought it was unusual.
I use Watchdog Lite to monitor background apps for high CPU usage and it rarely ever goes off. The only app I use that it notifies me about is Facebook which has the tendency to use 40-50% CPU while in the background
This phone does get hot when I'm on the internet and only then its the top half where I imagine the CPU is
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I took off the case.and have been browsing these forums. Still running as hot as 65c with random jumps in temperature. It will go from 55 to 65 in a matter of seconds.
Over 3G? That would be almost normal. Also stock correct? I get a little bit warm over wifi browsing so I would assume some heat over poor 3G signal.

- Just bought the phone on Saturday, charged it fully and played around with it on Sunday literally just moderate texting, making short calls, and taking a couple of pictures and the battery pretty much dies by 2 PM. Will the battery life improve over time?
This is with the settings tweaked to maximum battery conservation (15% screen brightness, NFC/S Beam off, No motion controls, battery savings on, the works.)
- Also, in that time the phone seemed to be fairly hot, I cannot recall the temperature, but it was hot to the touch. And when I tried downloading the OTA update from T-mobile, the bottom half of the phone (everything below the battery) became drastically hot. But the battery remained relatively cool. Is this something I should worry about?
I'd just like to know so I can exchange the phone while I still can.
I just got mine on Friday and I noticed the same issue. It seems to get hot whenever its doing something data intensive live streaming a youtube vid or downloading a app.
Thanks for the response.
I used it for about 15 minutes this morning reading a web page on Chrome and it seemed to get warm.
Also streamed HD YouTube as well as Spotify for about 15 minutes and it's still warm.
The thing is, these are the first really data-intensive things that I have done so far.
I'm going to go through a whole day just to see what happens.
Forgot to add that I even reduced my CPU through SetCPU to 1.2Ghz the since I rooted it
It's at 87% after 2h 20m 46s on battery.
With only 42m 23s of screen time.
It should calm down after a couple of charge cycles. For battery. Also make sure auto brightness, auto sync is off, gps, motIon control, voIce cmd, etc.
I dont use the battery saving feature and get great life. But I remember a few times it getting hot after a fresh flash but it always calmed down for me. Getting warm is normal, especially if on the charger while using.
Theres a lot of features I like but dont use much so for me its worth the few extra seconds to turn it on/off.

Update
So I have completed my school day.
11h 25m 45s on battery
Battery percentage is at 57%.
I barely used the phone however.
Sent about 10 texts, went on Chrome and searched the web for about 15 minutes, took 8 pictures, instagram for 3 minutes.
Also kept getting e-mails (probably like 10 of them)
I turned on Power Saving mode as well.
Screen is the highest with 1h 32m 24s using 38% on my battery.
Would this be normal on the stock T-mobile rom with no updates?
I've never had an Android phone before so I wouldn't know.
But after researching, some people managed to be at around 70% usage by the end of the day. While doing more intensive tasks.
It's probably the service when you're inside buildings. If it's bad service it'll drain your battery.. if it's constantly trying to connect 4g you're going to have a short time *insert ski instructor meme*

You should check to see what's consuming CPU... (long press the home button, and go into the task manager...) should see something consuming cpu...
(when my phone's warm, it's generally because something's gone psycho on cpu use...)

At home, I literally get 0-2 bars. But at school I can consistently get anywhere from 1-4 bars.
This could possibly be it, but I am not too sure how much my signal fluctuates throughout the school.

I had given my local T-mobile store a call and they said that smartphones should be regularly heating.
It's strange to me how I can do a task a simple as texting and it heats up though.
How long did you have the borked S3 for?
I 2nd the bad carrier coverage notion. Just as a test, I put my phone into airplane mode while watching a video. I watched the same video while out of airplane mode. The battery drained faster while on the carrier's network than not. I noticed the signal meter was at 3 bars before I played the video.

Better Through Time
I decided to instal CM10 on my phone and it really did help.
I just got home from school/finished most of my day and here's the update:
63% left
9h 45m 29s on battery
1h 21m 33s screen on time
This makes me feel so much better considering that I actually used the device more today than ever before.
(HD YouTube videos, streamed Spotify, lots of internet browsing, more calls/texts.)
Even with the added usage CM10 seemed to have improved my battery life by a lot!
Not sure if I can totally attribute it to CM10 or just more charge cycles, but everything seems to be working better for me.
Thanks for all of the help!
The phone still runs hot sometimes but it has decreased over the last couple of days.
I have noticed on my phone that since installing Liquid Smooth rom has resulted in much better battery life than on the stock rom. However, ever since I have owned the phone, if i have the screen on for more than 10 minutes or so the screen gets really warm right above the home button. Anybody else experiencing this?

Same problem. I just assume that's where the processor is? It doesn't bother me. Its quite funny because the top of my screen is cold. And it doesn't get hot when I'm using it for browsing, texting, the usual. Not unless I play a game.

I'm assuming that Samsung's stock TouchWiz isn't as optimized as the ROMs that the devs make on here.
Which is a definite plus to having a device that has a strong community of developers behind it.
That happens to me as well. I have kind of gotten used to it. Just slip on a case so when you hold it your hand doesn't get sweaty and you should be fine. I would assume that's where the processor lives, but I am not too certain.
My ion stays either just over or right under 100 is this normal cuz when I'm really using it it's uncomfortable to hold is that a drawback of the s3 cpu I'm on .29 deodexed intd smoothed ion status bar and stock home with mods any one else experience this

The phone should not be uncomfortable to hold. How are you measuring the battery temp? Two things that I am aware of cause heat; one is battery, the other is the CPU. My CPU runs around 100f-102f under normal use. If your battery is getting hot, there is a problem. My phone got uncomfortably hot the first day. I ended up doing a restore through Sony PC Companion and that fixed it. I've since had buildprop tweaks cause my phone to heat up beyond my comfort level. You either need to know your phone really well and troubleshoot the thing one by one or do a factory restore / reflash the ROM and take it slow on the app and tweak installs while testing each level of change. This is the way I do it. Other's may do it differently.
Mine is at 87 f right now just in my pocket data off but after opening this app and screen brightness at 50% its at 93 and it's only been a few minutes. I have a battery app it just says temp so I assume its my battery but anyways, how heavy you use the phone will alter its temp, I've had mine up to, if I recall correctly, 120f the phone will shut off when it's at a dangerous temp like my iPhone I left in my car to charge one summer day, we called my car the hot pocket, but the high heat shut it off and every time I tried to turn it on I got an warning and a shut off so I tossed it in the freezer. Anyways long story short, the heat you feel is how the phone keeps itself from over heating. If it's too hot for you lower your brightness that helps so much, but 100f isn't that bad for running temp

120f is a bit high for everyday use, but for gaming etc its normal.
U'll have to underclock it. 1.5GHz is hot while display on.
Lower down to around 1GHz or 972MHz. (I'm using it, to me its lag free)
My G4 feels very hot in my pants pocket (to the point I need to switch the pocket its in, or take it out for a bit), but when I check the temperature it is only around 50c - 60c. Is this a normal temperature, or is my phone's temperature actually above the norm?
Not normal in idle, that is for sure. Mine gets very hot when using mobile data and the screen is above 60% brightness. Having 8 tabs in chrome gets mine very hot, wtf, I'm not gaming... I noticed this a few days ago, never bothered me before. I didn't change anything lately, using stock 20D (ota from 20A).

Cpu temp wise, normally it hovers around 33C and goes up to 60C while gaming.
Surface temp wise it doesn't get burning hot

I got it over 60 while browsing, using mobile data and 100% brightenes. I never play games on the phone.
