I was playing games on my phone for an hour or two and noticed in the top right of the screen about where the power button is, it was getting really hot. Just on the screen face. I took my cover off and felt around the back and it was cool. But it was getting noticeably hot when touching that part on the screen. Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm worried about Heat for my phone E4GT too.
Idle, it's around 27c, which isn't bad at all.
But during usage it jumps to 34-37c, and wireless tethering causes it to go 49c.
My GTX 570 runs idle at 37c, that's fairly cool for a GPU but my knowledge in phone hardware isn't nearly as great.
What kind of temps can this phone handle?
Same issue here I m so pissed

The highest mines gotten so far was 116F but it was charging with my HTC charger and i was playing a game. The odd thing was the main part that was really hot to the touch was the top of the screen near the ear piece and it wasn't just warm it was hot. But that's only happened about 2 times now.

Third phone and still experiencing heat issue
I have changed my phone twice at Sprint and, for each one of them I have experienced the heat issue. Sometimes, the temperature goes as high as 53 degrees. I am not sure what exact combination causes this problem. I have seen it with or without 4G on - charging it makes it worse. Rebooting seems to help.
Makes me worry about this phone. I really like this phone but I definitely don't want to deal with a heat issue.
Heh, just try using this phone with zedomax's kernel set at 1.5ghz and playing Dungeon. Hunter HD II for an hour . . . it gets blazing hot! No performance issues through, only immense heat
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.
Regards,
Heat "problem"?

My Galaxy Note 8 has this problem. I installed an app which read the temperature and it reaches 40°C when I play video games. It has the power saving mode on. Is it normal? I'm worried about this

i've installed diagnosis app to check the temp, mine reaches ~40C(i think this is the battery temp) when i play also. so i think many of us is experiencing this *____*
Just with normal use the left side of my unit is getting annoyingly warm. Hopefully they can fix this with an update or something. I'm experiencing this on stock, anyone on custom software experiencing this too?

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

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'm thinking seriously of replace mine for a brand new Note 8.0 but if it presents the same problem, I'll be wasting my time...
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.

Thanks for the reply, someone with issues ?
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...
I have no heating problem with my lg g3 international D855 16gb model, even during quadrant test or playing games.

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.
what heat issue

Do we have any official documentation from Qualcomm on how hot the cpu can safely be?

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!

This is strange. Does the kernel not shut the phone down before it "fries" the SOC?,unless the throttling temps are too high? Wonder if this is linked to the display flickering problem myself and another poster had.

Funny you mention display flickering. I had that about 2 weeks ago. The display started flickering really badly, like nothing I've ever seen on any Android device, and I needed to pull the battery to reset. It didn't boot straight away either, it had to cool down a bit.

this.
all phones get warm if you are on it for an extended period of time, surfing (using data), gaming etc etc screen on for long periods of time. those saying they can game and not have heat are lying to you. phone gets warm when screen is on for extended period of time and by phone I mean any phone

Yeah, i had a flickering display which didnt go away.I returned that phone. Another poster yesterday had the same issue.Im wondering if the GPU is frying itself? Although the GPU does throttle as well as the CPU. Running Antutu I would get 60+deg C maybe playing a game for an extended period of time for example is causing damage? Just a theory.
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.

Bought my mom a Nexus 7 2013 holiday 2013 and it's been running fine since. I've unlocked and rooted it, just so I can occasionally do backups for her in case sometime goes wrong.
Anyway, she likes to play her casino games on the thing and always falls asleep while doing so(lol, I know). Well, today I go in and see she fell alseep with it on again and when I picked up the tablet it was burning hot. So hot, I was seriously worried about it being damaged.
When in a fullscreen game or movie, the thing doesn't shut off by itself. My question is this: Will this thing shut off before it melts itself and/or starts a fire? I'd be hopeful that it has some kind of temperature shutoff before that happens, but man, it felt ridiculously hot. It's in a case and the case itself was burning hot, so the tablet had to be hotter. I know the battery would eventually die, but what if it was plugged in?
I know, simple solution is to tell my mom not to fall alseep while playing with the darn thing, but she's ornery and stubborn(i've genuinely tried to teach her how to legitimately use the tablet yet she still doesn't know how to use the keyboard, though somehow knows how to turn it on/off and download new casino games).
Is there a sleep timer app that can shut this thing off while a game is running and/or when it reaches a certain temperature?

AFAIK, nexuses (and any other Android devices as well I assume) got a temperature trigger. It means that if the device reaches certain temp it will clock down the CPU, so the device shouldn't be that hot to get its part damaged

Good to know. I assumed so, but when I picked up that tablet earlier, it's the hottest I've ever felt a mobile device. I've owned a bunch of androids and a few tablets.

My nexus 7 2013 shut off at exactly 105°C which is extremely hot! Now when my device gets 90°C+ the screen goes black (backlight still on) and after a hard reboot it refuses to boot and hangs on the google logo for 10 minutes and then it works fine again. Don't know what the problem is but since then my tablet is quite laggy and the antutu score for the cpu is about 500 (which is similar to a freaking galaxy Y ) While it should be at least 2000+ (IRL performance is not as bad as the antutu score says though)
Something is seriously wrong if it's getting really hot when playing 2d casino games, do you perhaps have the cpu govener set to
performance? so it's ramping up the cpu / gpu at all times?
If it's that hot you gotta make sure she knows to shut the screen off when not playing.
High heat plus a lithium battery can potentially equal an explosion. But it would need to be really hot.
