I have said it in other threads, I have no heating issues here. When I play CPU/GPU intensive games it certainly gets warmer but nothing outrageous or worse than other phones I have had and it doesn't get uncomfortable to touch. I certainly don't need to power it off for it to cool down, that sounds worrying to me.

Then I think I have to contact the service centre...
And should go fr a replacement. ...

Mine gets warm when playing games or GPS but never hot hot hot
If you are at home screen and its hot makes sure GPS is off and go into task manager to make sure nothing is running in background!!!

Has your S3 frozen several times?

My phone has frozen like 4-5 times since the first day I got it...
Nope.
nope...
Mine hasn't frozen, but sometimes have to turn wifi on and off a few times to connect to my router
Possibly found some info on the wifi androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/574442-samsung-galaxy-s3-wifi-problem.html

After 3 full days of use and having loaded and tested about 1.5GB of apps, I've not had a single hiccup.
So far I don't have a single complaint about the S3.

My phone is seamless. Every once in awhile though, XDA seems to be a bit choppy. But nothing else.

Has frozen once or twice, but I think it may have been on Power Save at the time. Have you used that feature at all?
Also, Apex launcher crashes quite a bit. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue or what.

Hmm..the only app that has lagged so far is XDA app, and seems few of you guys had that experience too. Wonder if this is a compatibility issue or coz all of us are in the XDA app all the time:laugh:

Nothing. Android has an amazing memory management system. If you must close all apps, hold Home, click remove all. Then hold Home, click Task manage, go to ram, and hit clear memory. This is only necessary if an app is rogue and causing battery drain though.

Something must be terribly wrong. I notice it gets warm slightly when playing around with custom kernels or gaming but not to the level where it is uncomfortable to hold. If you are on stock rom then you should contact google.
I think its because of the radio.. Hot when it isn't on airplane mode. Fine when its off

That kind of heat is an issue. RMA that pronto.
Download system tuner and see what the temperature is when its " too hot"
Mine gots rrally hot when running Angry Birds Star Wars. What about you guys?
I've had two N4's and neither one ever even got warm. At least not noticeable in hand. Even with extended gaming. Agree on the RMA.

thats not hot. human body temp is 37C, 98.6F. is it warmer around you now then it was before?
It may be caused by the weather. Summer is coming if you live in the northern hemisphere.
I have only experienced the Nexus getting extremely hot when playing certain games that try to establish a constant connection to facebook.
Other than that no heat issues.

I live in Illinois not to far from Chicago and it just hit 90 degrees F a few days ago so its a possibility. But still on these cool nights it gets hot just this morning my phone was at 26c and after sending this message its already past 32c.
Another question is what temps are yall getting after light use with your phones?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If I browse on websites for too long on my N4, it gets hot in the upper left corner of the phone. I'm in Canada and it's not exactly hot here.
In in the UK. Sat outside with light usage and running at 28°C.
Indoors is normal for me to see 32-40° with screen on.
Unless gaming I wouldnt be concerned with battery temps below 45°

I think its quite common. I had encountered heating issues during gaming time. Remember one thing, Note 3 is very thin for powerful performance. I'm not surprise if it has heating issues
Mate,
I have SM-N900 same as yours and it gets very hot at the rear (just closer to camera).
I can say temp degree because i have not find a suitable application for that!
I moved from SGIII due to heat as one of the reasons and i guess i just landed on the same spot.:crying:
I hope somehow it can be controlled by future updates...4xA15 heating up like all processors!!!
Use energy saving mode to downclock your cpu. If you dont go heavy gaming u dont ned 2.3ghz. Will save battery and keep your device cooler

Haven't had any heat issues whatsoever on my Qualcomm Note 3 (N900T). I've played plenty of games, even emulating Gamecube games with Dolphin, no significant heat. It gets warm but not hot, nowhere near how hot my Note 1 used to get just browsing the Internet while charging.

I've been having the same issues, even multitasking is causing it to heat up, forget the games! Mostly the top part of the screen, front and back, I'm surprised as this wasn't the case when I was using the phone at the Samsung gallery before buying it.

The reason why i switched from 3g version to 4g version (we don't have 4g yet in our country) is the overheating.
I had an s4 i9500 and it was always burning on the back. I think it's something whith exynos processors because with qualcom's cpu, no heating even after 30min+ of heavy tasks.

Does everyone phone over heat and lags in games after playing more than 3 min with the phone on KitKat, or is it just me?

I'm currently running 4.4.2 rooted, custom rom and custom kernel. But even before I rooted and went custom it was fine.
Now please understand I play alot!!!!!! I also use a bumper type case and still have not noticed any issues with game play. Except for some, not excessive, heat with prolonged gaming.

I've read that thread twice, tried to disable the Samsung DVFS, tried formating the phone, still no luck.
Right now I've played the amazing spiderman 2, and the phone got so hot I could not touch it for about 5 min and lags continue...
Is there something us, the users, can do with it?

Hhhh it's ok man, no harm no fault.
Yes, there are another games such as :Frontline 2 (that's free if i'm not mistaken), PvZ2, Real Racing 3, FIFA 14 etc etc...
In my opinion, I don't think it's the games problem, nor the Developers behind them. I think it's the KK problem... In 4.3 I didn't have any of those issues.... Shame I can't downgrade...
What rom/kernel you using? I want to try that since I already voided my warranty a month after I bought the phone and the shi**y Uncle Sammy ( ) wasn't gonna take responsibility for he's problems...

OK I'm downloading front line 2 now. When how do you notice the lag?
Regarding heat issues if I play pvz2 for a prolonged time then it does get hot. Not as bad as my old hd2 used to get when I literally couldn't touch it. But it does get hot mainly noticeable from the screen.

It gets hot after about 5-6 min of play, I can't touch it after 10+ min.
In the Amazing Spider man 2, I can't touch it after 5 min.
Real racing 3, after about 6 min.
And so on, so on...

I have also noticed that when I activate Power Saving Mode with the CPU Underclock, it's not getting hot very quick, just warm...
OK I've tried that game, front line 2, for about 10 minutes. Got bored with it tbh. So moved onto playing asphalt 8 then pvz2 for a good half hour.
Now the screen does get warm/hot but not so that I can't touch it. I noticed zero lag.
It is possible that as I'm using a custom kernel that has had the governor settings altered that this has under clocked/volted my phone so it's less noticeable than yours. Of course this is a balancing act if you under clock it too much it could lag. If you over it it'll heat up too much.
