I just bought mine yesterday and this is my first tablet. I like it mainly for the size and the s-pen. During my 1 day of use I immediately feels that it's heating up a little too fast around the left side (maybe this is where the battery is). Do you guys have the same problems.
Thanks.

I think that is where the CPU is. I'd install a terminal shell and run the "ps" command to see what process(es) are using CPU.
update:
I've installed Diagnosis App and it's showing ~40C when playing games... Is this normal temp for a tab?
Thanks
Is it normal for a device to heat up under heavy use? Clearly yes. Is it normal for a device to heat up while sitting there with nothing going on? Clearly no. Does your computer heat up when you use it? This is no different, except that there is no fan to help keep it cool. If you are not seeing any problems, reboots, crashes, or abnormal battery drain, why are you worried?
I think CPU problem.
I think the problem is can be CPU.
Please check your CPU

Totally normal. About 104F, that's not even close to hot. Don't even need to start getting worried until you hit 120 or 130F.
This is starting to be the question that gets asked on here every day or 2. Already about 4 other threads asking this exact question.

I agree with you but, Do you think it's normal when I start to use it and after 10 minutes of web browsing, facebook and downloading apps it increases its Temperature level around 10°C? This is my first tablet and I'm worried about that. I compare the temperature with my Razr i and their behaviors are similar but, comparing with a Sony Tablet S it reaches 30°C doing the same processes. I hope you can help me, I just made a phone call to the shop where I bought it for a device replacement, but it wouldn't have any case if all Note 8 devices present the same problem.
Thank you very much!
This is now my second 8.0 and I really feel that this runs much cooler temperatures. Writing notes for several hours or casual playing I felt the first Note 8.0 also heat up a bit too much (still comfortable to hold) from the left side whereas this second runs nicely without heating up. Also what I noticed yesterday was the while charging the chargers was just warm when before with the first device it was actually getting hot.

Sure - any huge data usage, (especially with 3g/4g/lte) will cause the phone to heat up in the cpu area - this can be coupled with high graphics usage, and/or high ram usage -
electricity generates heat as a waste product - it wont get too hot, but it will heat up.
My gs2 would occasionally get so hot i didn't want to hold it or let it sit in my pocket
My new gs4 got plenty warm when redownloading my podcasts, and durring the first google device restore.

For me so far, the only time it is noticeably warm is when I use the camera for an extended period of time. Haven't played any intense games on there though like NFS.
I find that my microsd card get hot when accessed a lot, but that's not new, same as in my S3.
Mine is hot too. I haven't done anything though.

I believe there is firmware update that is compatible with the I9505 Tmo variant. You may want to do some searching and check it out.
The main S4 forum is a good place to start.

Heat is not the same thing as over-heating. These chips have a maximum operating temperature rating of upwards of 70c. There are a myriad of reasons why any two devices would operate at higher or lower temperatures including ambient temperature, radio actions (high-throughput or low signal recovery), and of course running processes. There will always be people who think their phone is "too hot" since it is a purely subjective claim.
yeah honestly is at 40c and thats beyond hot!!

Yep, mine heats up on the top back of the phone. But it doesn't overheat when I'm on the phone though. I talked for over two hours and the phone stayed cold. But if I play around with menu and installing apps, it gets noticeably warm. I used S2 for two years and didn't remember it getting this warm.

mine heats up probably i am using 4g data and voip app to call people
but it heats up top Samsung name area like u can feel it in like 10m lol
Like others mine heats up at the top back at times but never to a serious, uncomfortable degree. Pretty sure my Blaze would get hotter at times from less taxing usage.
So hopefully this is just software related issues and not hardware.....

I was reading on the Note 8 the other day and started noticing that the left side of the tablet gets pretty warm/hot. Is it just me or does anyone else have this issue? The rest of the tablet remains cool- just the left side around the middle.

This issue already discussed before. It is quite normal for a device to get some heat. Anyway, I think there is a big difference between warm and hot. If your device really gets HOT, then it is a problem. My device gets warm as well as you described, but I wouldn't say it gets hot or uncomfortable to hold. I think the temperatures quite similar to my SGS3.
CPUs and GPUs put out heat. Batteries put out heat. The more intensive the activity (particularly watching video, gaming, internet use and GPS) the more heat will be generated. This is a fact with all tablets, and computers in general. I'd think it was strange if the device didn't get warm somewhere. Heat on the left side is completely normal, although not sure what component (CPU, battery, etc.) is located there.
Now its impossible to tell what OP means exactly by "warm" or "hot" as this are not quantitive in any way. It shouldn't get hot enough to be uncomfortable (or even hurt) to hold in any way. Excessive heat may be an indicator of a faulty battery or some other hardware defect. But usually not. And the device will shut itself down long before a temperature is reached, that will hurt anything (if that is what you are worried about).
There are ways for the system to tell you the temperature, but I think its only at one location (CPU?) which may not be the problem area. So measuring this way may have limted usefulness in real life.
That is the location of the cpu unit so I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets very disconcertingly hot.

Im using the Sansung OEM cover. Holding it in portrait mode, mine gets "warm" on the left side near the edge... but only when its in my pocket and its in sleep mode and wifi is turned off. Kinda fels like my BlackBerry when its polling for a tower, it gets real warm. I have a N5110 wifi no radio so trying to determine why the warm up.

Hey thanks for all your input guys. It's good to know I'm not the only one experiencing these problems. So far, I don't think it's bothering me to the point that I wish to call Samsung up for a replacement. It does get a bit warmer especially if I have the pen out and writing some notes. I do also understand it's more than likely that the cpu is located there but I've never had a warming problem w/ other smartphones and tablets I've had.
Either way, thanks for all the input!

I agree with you, my father's got an iPad mini and the gadget doesn't present warming problems and battery life is much better. Do you think all Note 8 devices present the same problem?

I got my nexus 7 a week ago. Everything is working awesome but I really worried about the hot issue on the back side under the top speakers. Whenever I surf web for not more than 5 minutes the back feels a minor hot, I only take 3 to 5 pics with camera then the back of my tablet feels more hot, when I do gaming(Riptide GP2) for not more than 10 minutes then at this point my tablet,s back become really hot after this I have to close the game and wait for the tab to cool down.
Please guide me what to do I am really very worried about this right now I am on Stock 4.3.

Mine gets a little hot too, but much better than S4 and iPad3, so I am actually happy with it.
I guess that's just the way it is, unless you can compare yours with another one and yours is hotter under the same situation.
My 2 cents, I believe it isn't about the screen problem with brightness. The heat should be coming from the running processor. So far never heard about overheating on new nexus 7 yet. I'll suggest send for replacement , worst come to worst.
Because something gets hot doesn't mean there is a problem.
Its physics.
And feel is irrelevant. You need the actual temperature to determine if there is a issue.
Small thin devices with a powerful SoC will get warm under load
i think, if its still touchable and not using to much battery you shouldn't worry.
also you could try turning off wlan/lte and it shouldn't get that warm.
I am thinking to buy the phone but I saw some posts there are some heat issues. So what is the problem besides the phone getting too hot? Is it shuting down when it gets too hot or get really laggy? Is there any other problem when heated except it gets really hot?

I haven't experienced any heat issues. I have yet to feel my g3 get warm Tbh.
Others (not sure which model) have reported issues with heat, to the point that it causes the device to throttle the brightness down. Again haven't experienced this on my at&t model.

Same here not felt it get warm even watching video.
When the phone gets hot several things happen.
1) The CPU is clocked down to help lower heat
2) Brightness is capped to help lower heat
3) If the phone continues to get too hot (usually when its already hot and you then start to play a really intense game, or benchmark the phone may shut itself down.
People complained a lot with the Korean model but I haven't seen anyone with a US model complain. Maybe the type of person that waits is less likely to be a phone gamer? They may have actually tweaked it so it doesn't activate as quickly or harshly. I do know some people disabled it on the Korean model. I haven't heard of anything bad happening but those few people may have felt dumb if it destroyed their phone and not posted that it did...

Define an actual temperature for hot.
I disabled the thermal protection on my AT&T version and yes, I've felt it get quite hot while playing Final Fantasy 6. The heat radiated mainly through the metal power button but the entire top half of the device got pretty hot. Didn't bother me all that much tho, as I've had other devices get hot like that in the past.
I use exposed app CPU temp my g3 sits at about 30c and 45c which is normal temps and about 50ish whith thermal protection on disabled.

My girlfriend picked this up yesterday and this is happening to her G3. Not playing games though, just browsing the internet/reading an article. It makes no sense to me. How can you take control over that? She doesn't want to root the phone.
But yeah, just reading something or even looking at Facebook, the phone gets way too hot.
I picked up the Verizon version yesterday. It's gotten pretty warm around the power button a few times for me also. Typically not bad or what I would consider unusual with one or two exceptions.
My G3 (UK) go very very hot yesterday when I was on the train playing a graphically intensive game.
It shut itself down and then refused to turn on again. Ever.
I tried everything all night but no joy. I got a replacement handset today.
I'm sure it was because of the overheating that the phone malfunctioned. Without knowing exactly what has happened to it the timing is too coincidental for it to be random hardware failure. It was SUPER hot!

Hello everybody, before, I know there are several posts on the xda about the phone get so warm, but I think I have a different question. At this point in my country are about 35/36º Celsius, which obviously makes the phone warm up a bit, but i without open any application the temperature reaches 42/43 Celsius, but it will be normal or is a situation to worry ? I see quite a few posts from people saying that the mobile phone reaches 60º, the maximum I could get on my was to 48 and had several applications open and was playing a game. Like all others, the mobile phone is quite hot in the sensor zone and sometimes is hard to use, I even installed an app to close all applications to save battery and cool the phone. Therefore, it is normal but all phones warm up a little when they are being used aggressively, but it's normal after unlocking and without any open application temperatures reach 42/43 celsius? Should i send for warranty or not because this is normal?
Thank you in advance any help :good:

This phone is going to heat up considerably in that temperature due to the 808 CPU. If you spend a lot of time outside or in a warmer environment, there may not be anything you can do. Depending on the case, that may also keep the phone running warm as well. Try an RMA and see what happens though.

If the ambient temperature is high then the battery temperature will start high as well. I'm assuming you're monitoring the battery temperature since that is what most apps will report.

Do you have better signal with the new SIM? If the phone has to constantly search for signal, that uses a lot of power and heats up the phone.
