I just wanna ask my fellow note 3 users if they or if their phones heat up while playing games. Mine heats up when I play games 15mins of playing makes my phone hot, from the screen to the back ariund the camera part. Is this normal or is it just my phone.

Yes, it's normal.
Some games peg the cpu & gpu more than others. Even the not-so-graphics-heavy "Dots" blows through battery (unless the last update fixed it; haven't played it in a while)

Like I mentioned earlier, the Note 3 runs somewhat a little cooler than my Galaxy S4 does, but still hits those temps. So, I would say its normal.

I just got my s3 a few days ago and my battery is terrible. it shows that the cell standby is almost every second . Also compared to my gnexus when I listen to music the sound quality is a lot worse and has a lot of static. Do you guys have any of these problems?

Definitely have that problem music sound bad and battery life even worse

Battery life isn't worth writing home about... not the worst I've ever experienced, but not great.
It's annoying that when game audio's playing out the external speaker, you only hear one channel... (some games sound very strange because of that)
However, the thing I have a pet peeve over is that when it's connected to bluetooth, notification sounds stutter most of the time. (not sure how to describe it other than stutter).
I'm uncertain if that issue is isolated to my phone or if it's a general issue. I'm working on getting a demo phone to test if it's my phone or a general issue with Samsung vs Kenwood...
Battery life is amazing on a custom kernel. For some reason (yields I'm guessing) most cpus are horribly over volted. I get similar battery life as my razr maxx now. Sound Quality is meh from the external speaker but pretty good from headphones.

It's just what it's called. Would you prefer there be separate items? Cell standby, cell 2g, cell 3g, cell 4g, cell data, cell roaming, etc.
"Cell standby" is the amount of power the cell atennas are using period, regardless of what they're doing.
It says right on there "Battery used by cell radio", you don't have a separate item showing battery from using the antenna with a different name do you?
I am REALLY hoping tmo allows wifi calling on airplane mode soon lol.
I've had mine for a week, replaced a MyTouch 4G running JB. So far, generally good. My only concern is how badly Temple Run plays on it. Stutter and lag worse than any Android phone since G1.
I'm running stock, uprooted. Any suggestions short of running CM? Could my phone be defective? Temple Run is my de defto standard for phone performance and so far my GS3 is not good.

I believe my phone was at 15 hours with 50% battery remaining, that's damn good if you ask me. :|
I'm a huge gaming nut, I game on my pc, xbox360, ps3 and on my android phones. I've noticed that it doesn't take much time for the note 3 and it's gpu/cpu to heat up to the point where it's almost to hot to hold. This wasn't a problem on the note2 and it's exnyos cpu, I'm loving the slimness of the phone but thinking that's also why it gets hot soo fast.
I generally don't play too long, mostly 15-20 minute sessions of dead trigger 2, Asphalt 8 or Riptide 2. Anyone else notice this? I'm thinking maybe when the ZL battery comes thru and the extra bulkiness it will take a bit longer to heat up. That or maybe it's time for companies like Seidio,Otterbox etc to make some liquid cooled phone cases lol

I'm not playing with the phone charging, matter of fact I just played about 4 missions on dead trigger 2 and it's already starting to get too hot. It's gotta be the snapdragon chip, none of my other phones have ever gotten this hot in soo little time.
Again I haven't overclocked or play while charging ever. This phone needs a water cooling case for reals lol

Remove mpdecision from /system/bin (but just rename it.. Add "00" to the beginning or something) and run with all 4 cores online. You will find you get better battery life and your device will not ramp as much.
This is what I do personally...
Ondemand
Deadline
io_is_busy - 1
up_threshold - 95
sampling_rate - 20000
Stock has up_threshold at 85 or 90 if I'm not mistaken, way too aggressive for a processor of this caliber.
And mpdecision is way too aggressive. I don't need all 4 CPUs spinning up to max when I open my messages app.
Also, edit your /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh file to have this line it (see picture)

Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Wow!
Did everything you said in your earlier post and I'm noticing it running way cooler now. Normally after 3-4 missions on dead trigger 2 it's getting pretty hot near the camera when holding it in landscape mode, now it just seems to idle normally.
So before I tweaked my system root and set cpu settings was it only utilizing 1 or 2 cores thus stressing more and making the snapdragon soc run hotter? These games are very graphic intensive and could use extra cores running to keep everything running more smoothly and cooler (which you have now achieved developmrntbro!!)
I advise anyone experiencing what I was dealing with to do the same and be amazed how much better it runs now, thanks again for the knowledge :good:

Trying this out as well. I don't game, but I do a lot of downloading & streaming, and the phone does tend to get very hot during. I did this about an hour ago, I'm torrenting and so far it's still not hot and the battery isn't flying out the window like it usually would be. Nice!
wow this sounds a really good idea. did anyone just include this mod directly in their rom?
So if we have 4 cores why not take advantage of all 4 from the get go instead of having to do this mod?

My Note 3 doesn't get hot like yours, unless I play a game such as Madden 25 over a 40 minute period, then it's moderately hot, nothing compared to my previous phones, and that list includes the Note 2. I love everything about this Note 3 except the camera, it has a hard time focusing on some things close up, and sometimes at a distance too, I resent the camera, I did see in another thread that I am not the only one with this problem, only problem is I did not wait for the root de la vega or else I would've ordered a replacement already.........

Hello all,
I have a defective G3.
Sprint will exchange the device for me, but are also offering to move me to an Galaxy S5.
As I have not had a working G3, and I only get one exchange, I'm not sure what to do.
I initially purchased the G3 because I thought it would be a work horse (extra gig of ram, it supposedly runs cooler than an S5), and a couple of other reasons (great display, and camera's laser focus.)
Ultimately, I need my phone to be capable of surviving a day in the office: reading emails, sending texts, viewing meeting agendas, taking around 3 hours of calls, all through the course of a 9hr day.
That being said is this something that a non-defective G3 can easily handle, or am I going to be pushing my luck on battery life?
Thanks in advance!
Honestly, if you need it for work go with the S5. I went from an S5 to the G3. I love the phone, but I barely make it through the day on battery. I use corp email (GOOD), text, phone, web, camera, and evernote throughout the day and while I can usually make it, i'm at less than 20%.

Can you point me towards the deal you snagged?
This being a work phone is it truly a work phone so BYOD or you just happen to use it for work purposes? Cause if you're allowed to root it you can remove a lot of the bloat that causes battery drain. You can also use greenify which a great help. I use my phone all day at work (IM, text, notes, meeting planners, web searches and downloads of large files (to keep from being flagged by IT)) and I get home with still 70% battery (10+ hour work day also I have certain tweaks done to the kernel that probably help my battery life significantly). I haven't experienced any heat issues, or lag, or anything that other people have. I'd definitely go with the G3

Viper4android sound mod...
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------
I got my tone infinums the other day and I wanted to unlock some potential so I installed viper sound mod. It works great and they sound great, but I noticed my phone started getting warm and battery started going faster even when not doing anything. I went to the viper settings app and turned it off. I stsrted noticing better battery and my phone stayed cool. I now only turn it on if I'm listening to music or whatever.. I have no more issues now and wanted to see if maybe others might be experiencing these problems and give them a possible reason as to why..
Battery has improved
Great, what is it now?
Mine has gone down since the first day but is still pretty good. Right now I have just over 5 hours screen time and about 15% left.
A couple days ago though it seemed like the battery would last forever.
I'm going to run it low tonight though for a full charge. I'm going to run it down to about 5%.

And of course if you play games you will kill the battery quicker.

Instead of making irrelevant speculations as to how you use your device and completely disregarding your actual question, I'll at least attempt to be somewhat helpful...
I'm not 100% certain on the safe operating temperatures, but I can say personally the highest my device can normally go without suffering loss of performance would be right in the neighborhood of 50. I can play fairly simple games like Plague Inc, Hill Climb Racing, and one or two others and my device doesn't get that hot unless I'm charging while I play. I'm also oc'd to 1988mhz. Once I begin noticing a drop in performance I let it cool before continuing usage. ~50C I would say should be fairly safe, albeit I wouldn't want to keep a constant temperature that high; but 60-70 is really starting to push it.
Do you happen to notice the device getting that hot on other ROMs? If pre-CM12 ROMs don't get as hot or you're not certain, try going back until some of the kinks get worked out.

Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with my case and/or anker 7800 battery. Never checked the temp before cm12, only had this phone a couple weeks. Thanks again.

You have a different battery than stock, and running a rom. You answered your own question.

Why does the fact that he's got a different battery than stock mean that he's going to overheat? Are aftermarket batteries supposed to operate at a higher temperature? None I ever used did except possibly when charging, and even then it was only marginally warmer.
The ROM I could see simply because CM12 hadn't had the gremlins worked out yet... but the battery? Only speculating about the cause with no information to back it up, troubleshooting tips, or possible remedies doesn't help anything aside from your post count.
A buggy CM12 will do it. But the battery will aggregate the issue with all that extra power to cook things up.
