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?

Yeah..must be where the CPU/gpu is

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'm concerned that the phone gets too hot when playing games.
Sometimes just browsing the internet causes a warm spot.
The hot spot occurs on the top corner on the left side.
I'm wondering if the phone is going to last 18 months if it goes through this cycle on a weekly basis.
What do you think?

the problem is that some of these games can be a bit demanding and considering this GN uses a Omap 4460 CPU it's no wonder that it's struggling.
it's a shame this phone didn't get one of the newer Omap 5 series.

Not so hot mate... you havent owned a GS2 to witness the real hotness
Welcome to Smartphones, all of them get warm or hot when playing games on them. If you tax the phone really hard it will get warm/hot as well. Regardless of what CPU they have.
It will last perfectly fine, dont worry about it. Think of it as a added bonus, a hand warmer.

or if you're female and it's that time of the month(cramps), it doubles as a heating pad for that area.

I haven't had my nexus get hot yet.
sent from outside big and inside small.
The back of my phone is really heating up with only moderate use. Only a few minutes of youtube or angry birds will get the phone hot. The hot spot is only on the right side of the rear camera, or the backside of the front camera, however you wanna see it
Has anyone had the same problem?
My phone gets warm playing wind up knight. I haven't experienced hot yet.

when i've been using mine for a while and then make a call it is rather warm around the earpiece, dunno if thats normal or not.
Your thread title implies the phone is having a problem (ie. crashing, stuttering, FC) getting warm isn't really 'overheating' many mobile devices get pretty darn warm during intensive activities.
Are you experiencing a problem?
I just used my nexus as a wifi tether for my laptop for 3 hours, while charging off a usb cable and usually I get high temperatures usually when doing this with other phones, however nexus was cool to the touch after all this... haven't noticed much heat ever with this phone.... however I'm not a big gamer either.
Facing the front of the screen, the top right corner in an L shape seems to heat up quite a bit - from something medium intensive like web browsing.

No the title does not imply crashing of stuttering. If I did it would have the word 'crashing' or 'stuttering' in it.The title implies exactly what I'm getting. The phone overheat strongly in one spot , from very normal use. Not intensive tasks.
I haven't had FCs or anything like that so far. But it does get pretty hot. It is alarming if I may say.

I have a feeling there is something in that corner that is dissipating the heat. I have a battery temp monitor and when it was really hot in that corner, my battery temp was 40C (30C seems to be normal idle temp) - but the center of the phone where the actual battery is doesn't feel hot.
So I'm assuming the heat is drawn to that corner.
Another thing I noticed (comparing to my previous phone) is that even though it got hot, it cools fast as well.
I get the same issue as well. But it wasnt particularly alarming since my Captivate, Infuse, and Skyrocket did the exact same thing. I have used the captivate and infuse for a long time now. The captivate was purchasd on launch day last year and has been passed down to my girlfriend, infuse is still being used daily by me since launch day as well, and the skyrocket (least used phone) was JUST sold for the funds to get my new gnexus. All of these phones have the same issue. I just figured Samsung phones get warm but thats it.
My phone is fine. I don't even get warm unless playing a 3d game. Charging is unusually cool. And I haven't even felt warmth from heavy hspa use.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
to be honest...mine does seem to be getting rather excessively warm at the top right on both the front and back side...it's around where the RAM chip is on the PCB or could be around the CPU (which is more central but *shrug*). I cant think it's normal since i've never had a warm ear when i've been making a call with any phone i've had before!

My GN can be "very" warm at the back where the rear camera is. By playing 720p/1080p video files. Heavy HW decoding I believe.
So there is something. Can't believe no tech news site reported this before. Giving how quickly everyone rushed out to point a flaw the GN.
Has anyone contacted any Samsung rep on twitter or something? Who do we raise our concerns to?
I'm wondering if i should get my phone returned as DOA (since i need to do that by monday) with the getting quite hot and sleep of death and random reboots :|
i havent owned a high end phone like this though, and it's personally my first android phone (other people in the household have had one that i've mucked about with) so i dont actually know what to expect from it really...
I watched a netflix movie over mhl. The nexus got fairly warm. Still no overheating issues or reboots for me.

There is nothing wrong with it....... LOL "overheating" denotes your phone is crashing,stuttering,melting,burning or warning you that its hot....ect. So far nobody in this thread has this issue sooooo..... If the device is functioning properly then its not "overheating" as your thread title suggests. You should have put....does your phone get warm? Yes, just like computer processors they must get rid of the heat somehow this one dissipates it in the back just like most other phones.

except...the front is getting rather warm too. Doing simple things. Is that normal? Probably not. And excess heat + displays = bad. Also rather uncomfortable when you're making a call...if people use phones for calls anymore
Anyone have this condition?
It gets warm with heavy internet usage. But quite hot when playing games.
I was playing 'great little war game' for around 10 minutes then I felt on upper right corner (behind front camera) quite hot. I checked the battery temp it was 43°C. But as soon as I quit playing the temp back to normal.
Just asking if anyone experience the same, is it normal?

Don't quote me as I am not an authority on the subject but usually when a certain spot on a phone starts to heat up, it's easy to assume that the CPU is starting to get hot.
Games are CPU intensive tasks so you will see a specific spot where the CPU is likely to be located getting hot. There isn't much to remedy it since phones don't have a cooling system built in.
My only suggestion would be to try and hold it as such so that you are not directly touching the spot and try taking breaks when you get worried about the phone getting TOO hot.
Most phones will run hot when playing games

I forget what game it was but my iPad 2 was cooking when my wife was playing a game on it recently. It's just the way it goes.

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...
