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:

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.

Yes mine does it especially when playing dead Trigger it gets nice and warm near the bottom of the phone.

Yeah exactly. At the bottom of the phone.
I appreciate fellow S3 owners posting here. Just to put my and everyone else's mind at ease.

Every smartphone I have had gets warm when playing games for over 30min.
I believe this is normal as long as you monitor and don't over clock a lot. Eventually that can kill your hardware.

today for me was the hottest my phone has ever gotten - 105F. it was 95F outside and i had to turn my screen brightness up so i could see, on top of surfing the web and chatting on the phone. someone commented in another thread that our phone can go up to 140F without issue. i dont know if thats true, but there ya have it...oh, i havent played any games yet
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

I've only played one game for any extended period of time so far which is Home Run Battle 2 and my GS3 doesn't get hot at all. It runs just slightly warmer than it usually does but it's by far the coolest phone I've eve had.
Get really hot when browsing too long 30 min +

My phone gets warm as well. The temp is about average just like the rest of you guys so I wouldn't worry. Having a very thin back cover doesn't help either.

Under voting helps with this a TON. I took my voltage for 1.5ghz from 1150mv down to 1025mv and it stays much much cooler under full load. Oh and temps won't break your cpu, too much nanny software on this chip. Even over clocked. Over voltage may though =)

So far I tried playing Final Fantasy 3 on it, definitely very warm, but not hot to touch. Others include Youtube and prolong Web Browsing. Music is fine however. :victory:

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
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

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.

Hi guys, i want to ask some questions about this phone, mostly about its gaming experience. I know that this phone has great all-day battery life, and i also know that Moto G is a great gaming smartphone, if not the best, thanks to its Snapdragon 400 and Adreno 305 GPU. And i believe this phone is capable to handle most of graphically demanding games around Google Play Store. But my question is, what's about the battery life of this phone when playing games? I mean, how long can it survive when playing intense games without resting the screen, of course, from the full charge 100%? I'm actually quite interested to get this phone in the near future because it's affordable but amazingly good.

Well, you wont have to worry about the battery life I have played demanding games like mc4 and real racing 3, and the battery is just not going down fast at all. Like i could play mc4 for several hours, and still 30% left. Ofcourse not with the highest screen brightness. But this phone has just an incredible battery life overall. Like i could go with 30% battery in the morning, and in the evening there is still 10% left. So dont worry about the battery, in my opinion it does a great job.

It really depends on the game though. For example Badlands (a 2d game) is absolutely murdering my battery, while games from the Anomaly series that are 3d last longer. But all in all, you can expect to get a solid 3-5 hours of gaming without issue, plus the idle drain is minimal, under normal circumstances, so you can make it back to a charger an hour or two after you get your first low battery warnings.
My Find 7a runs extremely warm when playing games such as candy crush, angry birds space etc, which is causing the battery to drain quickly. Is this normal for phones with such specs or is there something wrong with my device?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I would say that this is normal. I played Godzilla; Strike Zone yesterday, which was more or less the first time I ever gamed on the device after having it for a couple weeks...and I was amazed at how warm it got. As far as I can tell, the device running hot is normal. Could be fixed with some better management in a kernel down the line, but for now, I don't think there's much we can do
I see, looking forward for the next update then!

I wouldn't expect it to see much of a change during gaming and other intense usages. That's just the nature of CPU's. They give off heat as a byproduct of use. The more intense the use the more heat.

Mine only gets hot when charging or playing Asphalt 8 or Temple Run 2 or Super N64 Emmulator
Download 'Clean Master'. It tells you when its overheating, lagging, etc and gives you the option to kill those apps. Also helps you manage RAM. Must have app.
But you have to wonder, when will Android get to the point that this kind of app is not needed anymore.
