So... Im getting back my recently purchased Galaxy Note 2014 White Wifi 32GB for another one. Thanks god the shop gave 15 days in order to see if something went wrong.
Here is the point: Once the battery reach some percent between 20-30%, suddenly, just in a second, it drops till 10%, and seconds later, to 5%. No root, no apps opened, no strange software installed, Samsung Motion options used (except some S-pen functions) or Devs options touched, i checked out all this things after it happened the first time. I only used it to search on Firefox, write/read PDFs with ezPDF, see some movies or see how Real Racing 3 or Dead Trigger would see on the screen.
No idea about whats going on.
In adition, im worried about this tablet´s heating. Sometimes gets alarming and it feels pretty uncomfortable, as you feel something could break bad inside if so much heating is hitting the hardware, and men, im just using 3 simple apps at a time. I get Real Racing 3 use GPU really hard but... it feels moron as this game hasnt been update so it can use high graphic settings on this tablet.

You ha e a defect. Mine never gets alarming hot. It gets warm when playing big games, but so do all tablets. You can feel something break inside? Send it back.

Just thought I'd throw this out to see if anyone else has encountered this problem. Yesterday I was using some apps on my Note 2 (TomTom, voip, wifi and 4G ...) and I noticed the top of the phone getting rather hot, to the point that it was becoming uncomfortable to hold to my ear. This was much hotter than normal. I shut down all the running apps with app manager, but the phone stayed hot. CPU was running only about 10%. Finally I had to reboot...then it was back to normal. Its worrying that it could at some time be damaged by overheating. Has anybody had this problem and/or know what might be causing it? Thanks.
i got the same problem when playing a game in 10-15 mins it heated up pretty fast especially the front near samsung logo it was like over 100 degree
The only time I experience overheating is when I'm playing Need For Speed Most Wanted. It happens after about fifteen minutes of play. I haven't had it get uncomfortably hot but I always stop playing the game as it becomes abnormally hot. It's a shame to because I would like to play NFS more that fifteen minutes.

Yes that's the same area, near the phone speaker and logo, where mine was most hot. I'm thinking it could be cpu or graphics processor but I don't know the internal layout of components. But it seems odd on mine that it stayed hot after shutting down any running apps and only 10% CPU. Maybe something running in the background.
That is where the uber powerful quad core monster is grinding the gears of awesomeness at a mind blowing brain zapping 1.6 billion gigahertz lives at. And his girlfriend mali400 lives right next door and she is pumping out all the eye candy she can to satisfy the pleasure receptor s directly into your braiiiiiin.... Lol
In other words yes that's the main processor and graphics chip suckin up the battery. While it does that it's generating heat as a by product. It's completely normal. Nothing to worry about. Happy gaming. And it takes a while for it to cool back down to ambient.
Hope that helps

Did a quick net search on this and found a few forums reporting this problem. i.e. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...es-your-galaxy-note-ii-gt-n7100-overheat.html
I reported the overheating to Samsung Support. They said they have had no reports of the phone overheating...sounds unlikely after several months and millions of devices sold. Support suggests doing a data wipe from the recovery screen as this will "resolve most problems". Really? ???
Could be a firmware issue which Samsung will find and fix if they get sufficient number of reports. I suggest you report it to Samsung Support: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/...click on "live chat" for mobile phones.
Need for Speed is a game provided by (presumably) Samsung. If you can't play it for long, it seems like that represents some kind of inherent problem with the device. My concern is whether the overheating will be an ongoing, recurring problem. That would limit the usability of the device.
It's not clear if this is a problem that is worse on individual phones or if this is a problem common to all Note 2s. If its individual phones, then I'd probably like to return it for one that doesn't do this.
It seems the Exynos cpu is located near the speaker/logo. "System Tuner Pro" app reports system temperature under "CPU"
Mine is overheating while charging..I Woke up to a battery too hot message..the only thing different is I'm using a flip cover now,I took a screenshot of the temperature, and this was already cooled down a little..anybody know what this is? It's only been happening while charging though...

Samsung Note 2 Overheating Culprit
Two specific reasons : Quad core processor, Aluminium wiring.
Reports of deformity of the note 2 trickling in slowly. Try using processor hungry tasks and see it drop its jaw in 2 hrs.
they cant recall it, now its getting cheaper every day.
Try clearing the cache, supposedly things can occasionally get discombobulated. Last time my phone was about to set fire (gs3), cleared the cache & dalvik and it went back to normal.
summer heat

I live in Chicago and summer days are already here. My Note 2 has started to let me down, since yesterday my phone is been up to 40c without any used.44 while charging. I dont think this is normal. Im on stock rom. Thank you in advanced.
Overheating persists
My 2 weeks old Galaxy Note 2 gets abnormally hot on the same area(rear camera part & the front phone calling speaker) while on charging, while playing games usually Modern Combat 4 or otherwise, & i am on stock rom as well. ...if anyone has a resolution for the problem then please share..
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.
Can you try to do the same things with minimal screen brightness, and see if there is any change?
Too low.

Thanks for your reply I tried it to the brightness bar at very end but this is not solving my problem. It's not happen only with Riptide GP2 but with the others games too.

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 just picked up a 10.1 on Sunday, and I really like it, but it seems to be getting fairly hot on the back cover, even with normal use. Just doing some web browsing, installing apps, Clash of Clans, etc. It actually doesn't really matter what I'm doing. If I'm using it for more than 10 minutes, it gets hot on the back near the top of the device under the fingers of my right hand (when held in landscape).
Is this a common thing, or should I be exchanging it for a new one?
Sounds a bit strange, i play emulators on mine and other intensive stuff and it barely gets warm.
Hmm, maybe I need a couple more days with it. If it persists, I might exchange it.

Yes that might be best, I decided to stress mine out so the 4 high power cores and the GPU were maxed out, it gets very warm but I had to really push it for a couple of minutes for that to happen, with general web browsing and the like it shouldn't even be getting warm.
You mentioned Clash of Clans. My 12.2 will get extremely hot when playing CoC. Might be the GPU.
in CM12 no dvfs
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the LG G5 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
i think the G5 heats a little bit too much
today i was simply downloading Hearthstone (800MB approx) and in standby it heated too much
i think its quite excellent actually.
i could not notice any throttling during gaming etc. well maybe thats just because even the gpu is idling at <15% during asphalt 8 play
I had zero issues with thus device heating up until last night... I was at the movies with the fam.. In the theater I only had 1x for data and the phone got hot while searching for a better data connection. Cooled right down after leaving the theater.
Coming from an htc m7, so a huge step anyway... Phone is top!
This was one of the first things I noticed because I used the gps probably 45 mins after taking it out of the box. I watch YouTube vids for around an hour a day and after a while it does become noticeable but I have to be honest; it really doesn't bother me all that much.
Can feel warm and a little uncomfortable in warmer weathers (20-30 Celsius).
Mine heats up a lot. I'm a little concerned honestly.

I don't experience anything unusual.
heres the deal boys...
Yes this phone gets hot when its used hard.....if your not incurring reboots while running it hard , then you'll probably be good
After a month buying this , I started getting reboots ....hot and cold
The first time I sent it in , they said to leave sim and battery at home...
I got it back and started the usual 30 or more updates from App Store and phone got real hot and started rebooting again every minute
even when it was cool...it rebooted but at a longer interval...
They told me to send battery in too on second go around...
Just got it back , it had a system update to do and then the 30+ app updates....this phone was getting a workout...
I did the App updates right after the system update with the optimization ....
I'm 20 apps into it...the battery cooled down and the apps are still going...
looks like they have a battery issue with these phones. If I don't report back , then all is good...

No, it doesn't mean that LG has an issue with the batteries. It only means that YOU had issue with YOUR battery.
I'm glad your phone is OK and it was just the battery.
Only got mine yesterday, but I've used it a lot in that short time and it get nowhere near as hot my previous 2 phone a Nexus 4 and G3 it gets warm but not what I would call hot compared to them 2 anyway, at its worst mostly watching videos it can get a quite warm, but gaming it barely gets warm, I'm loving it so far but time will tell I guess but so far so good.
Mine heats up too, specially while using Snapchat or YouTube. Haven't played Asphalt or other graphic-intensive games, so I can't comment whether my device has the same issue with them or not.
Mine stays quite cool during heavy usage, it does get realy hot while charging though. I expect this is the same with others?
Coming from the Samsung Galaxy Note series (Note 1 - Note 5), the LG G5 gets pretty hot even when idling.... My solution? Waiting for the Note 7 to be released and then goodbye LG!

Check what's running in the background. Mine is very cool (H850).
Better than the V10. My old V10 overheated while I was using Skype to the point it shut itself off. Had no problems with the G5.

I'm so excited for some Pokémon Go! ... But I assume with high precision GPS, screen, camera, connection, my phone's going to get spicy hot. It warms up easily, otherwise, but it gets hot to the touch sometimes while charging.

Anyone ever notice their phone getting hot and shutting down features or even turning off? I know this might be kinda extreme... My 6 pro has been shutting down all sorts of things just to cool the phone and eventually shutting off. This has been happening while I'm in a sauna after working out with the lowest brightness on even. But my Note 10 plus never even mentioned anything to me ever even with full brightness. Thanks for the help
It happened to me once with a Galaxy S7 but it was in a heatwave that said I read on forums that several users complained about an overheating problem on the pixel 6.
As the chip is made in partnership with Samsung and it is well known that exynos chips overheat other than waiting for software upgrades or sending it back there is nothing that can be done.

Interesting that your Note 10 Plus works in a sauna-environment. I would definitely call that an extreme situation where no phones needs to properly work, after all we are talking about an ambient temperature of ~ 65°C to 90°C, that's much hotter than even a desert. Most commercial products only operate up until 70° Celsius, Industrial usually up to 85°, Military ones even higher.
Personally I would never/have never taken my phone inside a sauna out of fear it might get damaged, after all it's a thousand dollar product. Treating it with care and caution is usually a wise choice, if longevity is of any concern.
Most smartphone (and desktop) processors can only take about ~100 Degrees Celsius (internal, chip temperature), before they throttle down into the abyss and try to cool down (to prevent permanent damage). But if they are in a sauna... there is no cooling down, lol. Afterall they lack a dedicated fan. As an example: It's a situation comparable with your ambient room temperature in the summer - if you have 30° Celsius in your room, but outside it's 40°, your room of course will not cool down, but heat up even more. ESPECIALLY not if you have several heaters on (= processor, display, et cetera).
That's why it's quite the achievement of your Note 10 to properly function in that kind of situation, that seems like a well-balanced phone in terms of heat/cooling. Props to Samsung in that case.
According to several reports in this forum, Tensor can get quite toasty, even in a normal environment. It shutting down in a sauna does not surprise me. There's probably nothing that you can do here, expect switch the phone or hope for a Google firmware update that lowers the coreclock.
I haven't had any overheating. I think the very first day when I was setting up the phone and restoring from my cloud backup it got a little warm, but mine hasn't overheated at all or shut down anything. I am probably not pushing the envelope of what any phone could handle, however.
Haven't witnessed any overheating on my unit.
Never had this happen on any of my recent phones including my Note 10 plus and my buddy has a new 20 Samsung as well.. No problems for them or anyone else with their iphones and a few others while they are in sauna as well.. even my samsung ear buds murder this thing lol
NOTE TO ALL POTENTIAL 6 OR 6P BUYERS: this is not a common phenomenon. Just want to put that out there.
I use GSAM bettery monitor (with the ADB mods) and it works great to watch the temp. Once or maybe twice it got warm (107F) when I was backing up the entire unit to my NAS (or vice versa). Ever since it gets warmer when I use it more, and then cooler when I don't.

I think you answered your own question buddy... The temperature in the sauna ranges typically between 60oC to 95oC. Your Pixel phone is designed to operate up to 45oC at extreme situations.
I'm afraid the problem lies with the owner in your case, not the device itself.
A Sauna?! A SAUNA?? Did I read that right? I .... I .... I just don't understand. And when my sister "washes" her Galaxy S20 under the tap, the first thing she says: "Samsung says it's OK! The phone is Waterproof and Heat Proof and Mud Proof!" ... ok the last two things are false but every galaxy owner I've come across thinks their phone can be used in a shower, hmmm....
Again... I knew I would catch some crap for posting this.. but I'm trying to figure out why most and yes I said most phones do not have a problem including my old note 10+ and also my other friends phones and random people as well..
My Note would be full brightness and wouldn't even really feel hot. Warm yes and it would continue to work just perfect.. I even tried to put my 6 pro in battery saver mode which shuts down cores and it still could not last 5 mins at the lowest brightness.. My Note in performance mode and full brightness would last the full 25+ minutes I would be in there.
Looking for advice or answers. I've stated comparisons with the same scenarios with two completely different phones of my own along with others. One works great and another does not..
