That's all; once I play like 10 mins with the new "Assassins Creed HD" game my HTC Trophy gets really hot... The temperature becomes so high so I have to stop play because looks like if the device were to die in heat.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
on a hd7 I have no problems , not getting hot at all even with wifi on .
Thank you for your fast response ceesheim.
So it must be just my phone or maybe the Trophy model...
Maybe I did the bad choice and I had to get the HD7 model instead. (never had problems with temperature on my HD2 massplaying anything).
But now the problem is serious, that game increases really a lot the temp on my device. I must say that I have wifi and bluetooth on the whole day (massive use of them) and maybe it can be related to the problem.
I will check without them on, anyway is scary how heat it becomes once I play it, and is strange because it doesn’t happens with other games like "The harvest"

I only had wifi on , bluetooth and gps was off , you could try that .
the phone shouldn't get hot, ever. maybe be a defective battery. ask for a replacement. free, of course.

eeeh don't know about that one. Phones get hot with extended usage of cpu or antenna. ****, your game consoles or pc's get hot when playing games...and they have fans...why wouldn't your fanless phone not?
You've never been on a long call and noticed that unit was hot by the time you got off?
I agree with ohgood, a phone shouldn't get hot, even after long play, unless overclocked or modified in any way. And 10 mins not an excuse at all. I never experienced anything like that and my wife plays 3D games on the iphone for hours, it just gets a bit warm. My Fuze is not even warm but all I play is Solitaire City / Chess. However, my definition of hot may be different from OP.
It is possible for a phone to get hot whilst its being used.
It might be a battery issue though as its mainly the battery that will get hot before any anything else.
Might want to check the battery.
Or get a replacement. Free. There should be no reason as for it to get hot... Although, my phone gets hot when using Wi-Fi Tether, but that's about it.

Hello to all Galaxy Note 8 owners',
I've read most of the review online, but only a few stated about the heat issue on this device.
So, my question is does your phablet overheat ?

Uh... no? This is about the coolest running tablet on the market. Also, I have read every single piece of literature and commentary on the internet about the Note 8, and not once has heat been mentioned. Where, exactly, are you reading this?
Mine runs perfectly. No heat issues whatsoever.

I haven't noticed much heat or warmth at all, much less heat problems. I'm not a tablet gamer. But I do watch video, and download files (sometimes big ones and using Advanced Download Manager). And not heat issues.
Mine gets pretty warm on the lower lefthand side of the back plastic. Probably 10 degrees over ambient temp.
This is consistent with other devices that run at relatively high clock, or my phone if the wimax antenna is on - I'm not seeing it as a problem.
The only time I have felt any excessive heat, is when I was watching Netflix and charging at the same time. I use this tablet very heavily and have not noticed any heat issues!

Haven't read anything about heat issues on the Note 8 myself, nor have I observed any serious heat issues on mine. It'll get warm with intense use, but no worse than other tablets or phones in my collection.
Correction, only one on the net.
This is the link "hxxp://pocketnow.com/2013/04/09/galaxy-note-8-review"
Quoted here the relevant paragraph
-- "Other than that, the performance on the Note 8.0, even during graphic-intensive games, was exceptionally smooth. Though, after several minutes of intense gaming with the display brightness turned up, the device did tend to heat up a bit, but not to the extent the device was uncomfortable to hold." --
I'm asking because I've read heat problems on Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S3
Thanks for all your reply. It's good to hear that this one does not suffer from heat issues. If it is, I'll have to switch to Asus Fonepad, man.. that thing is half the price than Note 8

Device warming up is not the same as a heat problem. My S3 and the Note 8 will both get warm with heavy use, but so will everything else. You have to have realistic expectations on a device that only has passive cooling. Heat is a problem if it causes the device to crash or otherwise misbehave.
Used mine to play a game with 3D graphics for an hour or two and it was only slightly warm. Tablet was sitting on my pillow.

Echoing this statement. My Note 8 gets noticeably warm on the left side even on lower loads. It's never become hot enough to be an issue though.

Ditto...
My charger does get warmer than my G Note 10.1 and my G S3...
Mine is just like any other high end tablet. Stays cool but gets slightly warm warm when used heavily. I have the 3G version.

overheating? Try meltdown!
A few months ago, my wife and I visited the local AT&T store and picked up a Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy Note 8.0.
While my SG4 is working beautifully, the Note 8 is unusable, even after having it sent in for repairs (the problem persists as if it was never repaired).
Basically, it has a glitch that I've seen before on PCs that have a heat-damaged GPU. When the system is booted, it displays a graphically garbled mess and will not achieve full boot.
We have reloaded it, to no avail, and as I say, it's already been sent in for repairs yet it came back to us as if nothing had been done to it at all. It worked intermittently, as i had before the repair, so my wife tried to make due because we couldn't take time off from work to go back to AT&T in the last few weeks since we received our Note 8 back from Samsung (or whoever they farmed out the repair to). In the last few days of my wife using it, it's gone from intermittent to full-blown unusable. Now, about 15 to 20 seconds into the boot sequence, the GPU overheat glitch rears its head. There's no way now to get to the desktop to attempt another reload... but that wouldn't help anyway. When we last took the unit in for repairs, I reset the device to factory defaults at the request of the AT&T rep that was assisting us. Within 2 minutes after booting back up, the system was nearly unusable.
It was a rockin' little tablet... for about 4 days until it started overheating. I'm figuring it's likely a manufacturing flaw, based on the testimony of others that for the most part claim little or no heat issues.
Now, I'm not sure what we can do to rectify this. I hope we're not stuck with what amounts to a brick.
FYI / background-info: I've been a computer user for 31 years, and worked professionally in IT for the last 15 years. Embedded hardware hacking and embedded systems development are a few of my many technical hobbies. To say the least, I've been very thorough in my examination of this problem, and have an immense amount of experience with a large variety of hardware, which is why I recognize the problem to be related to overheating damage to the GPU -- I've seen it plenty of times before... the summer heat where I live will kill a GPU if it's fans aren't cleaned monthly, due to the amount of dust that blows in from the plains states immediately to our west.
i have GT-N5100
the unit so warm (not overheat) if i played some 3D games for a few times.
left side of the note.
and maybe i suggesting you not playing much games or heavy games with this Note 8.0
i don't know about the other handheld, but note 8.0 almost suck my battery 1minutes : 1% just for play LINE I Love Coffee or any light-weight games.
BUT, if you do for work (write on S-Note or drawing or adjust some shortcut and setting) it'll be so damn long lasting battery, but once you play (at least) 1 game, you'll see the battery drain so much.
don't know how to fix this (even i already turn on the Power Saving and turn off another function except vibrate, and screen rotation, also wifi...because i use battery program..that program indicate use Mobile Data/3G more drain than Wifi)

That's how the first Note 8 that I was shipped was (my post about it is somewhere) it was roasting when it arrived and oddly the battery showed it as fully charged. Screen was a complete disaster, reset it and it was fine for a few days then started acting up with the heat and screen issue. I only had had it a week so I just asked for an exchange (at first they wanted me to go through the warranty to fix or replace it ha! No). Got this new one and have had no issues (except the wifi which I finally seem to have working but that's whole other thing), like others said it just gets a little warm on the left side but nothing like that old unit and nothing horribly burning type of noticeable.

just hot
Mine said last night that it had to close down programs and I could only use the phone because it was overheating. It was cool to the touch every where and battery monitor said the temp was 30*C or 86*F. So does it over heat not too the ftouch as it always seems cool when held, But?????
I just bought mine yesterday and this is my first tablet. I like it mainly for the size and the s-pen. During my 1 day of use I immediately feels that it's heating up a little too fast around the left side (maybe this is where the battery is). Do you guys have the same problems.
Thanks.

I think that is where the CPU is. I'd install a terminal shell and run the "ps" command to see what process(es) are using CPU.
update:
I've installed Diagnosis App and it's showing ~40C when playing games... Is this normal temp for a tab?
Thanks
Is it normal for a device to heat up under heavy use? Clearly yes. Is it normal for a device to heat up while sitting there with nothing going on? Clearly no. Does your computer heat up when you use it? This is no different, except that there is no fan to help keep it cool. If you are not seeing any problems, reboots, crashes, or abnormal battery drain, why are you worried?
I think CPU problem.
I think the problem is can be CPU.
Please check your CPU

Totally normal. About 104F, that's not even close to hot. Don't even need to start getting worried until you hit 120 or 130F.
This is starting to be the question that gets asked on here every day or 2. Already about 4 other threads asking this exact question.

I agree with you but, Do you think it's normal when I start to use it and after 10 minutes of web browsing, facebook and downloading apps it increases its Temperature level around 10°C? This is my first tablet and I'm worried about that. I compare the temperature with my Razr i and their behaviors are similar but, comparing with a Sony Tablet S it reaches 30°C doing the same processes. I hope you can help me, I just made a phone call to the shop where I bought it for a device replacement, but it wouldn't have any case if all Note 8 devices present the same problem.
Thank you very much!
This is now my second 8.0 and I really feel that this runs much cooler temperatures. Writing notes for several hours or casual playing I felt the first Note 8.0 also heat up a bit too much (still comfortable to hold) from the left side whereas this second runs nicely without heating up. Also what I noticed yesterday was the while charging the chargers was just warm when before with the first device it was actually getting hot.
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.
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.
