Galaxy s4 overheating? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I have a stock Galaxy S4 I337M with Telus. I am not playing game and when I check the temperature in *#0228# option, its write that my phone temperature is 50 degree. I have no option activate and my luminosity is at auto. Also, its always the top of my phone that became hot. Is that normal?

CPU is located on top of your phone, hence the hotter than other locations. I believe its normal getting that hot. Just browsing websites gets my phone to heat up but I don't have a problem with it. Phone being this thin has to transfer heat somehow and someway. I just wish that the back cover was something other than pastic type of material since plastic isn't great at heat tranfer.

Do you have an external SD card installed by any chance? I had a similar problem and it turned out that a corrupt media file on my external card was causing media scanner to run continuously which was was heating up the phone and draining the battery quickly. Take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331101 . I solved the problem by deleting the file that was causing it and also I used the app Nomedia by Droida to stop media scanner from looking in my videos directory.

Yes I have a 64gb sd card. What I gave to do for this?

Try unmounting and removing the card temporarily. See if you still get high temperatures at idle. If you do then it could be the media scanner finding a corrupt file on the card. If not, then you don't have the same issue as me.

Hey are any of you guys running Omega or any i9505 roms on your i337m? I can't seem to find a compatible kernel I have tried ktoonez t-mobile kernel but does anyone know any others?

Omega with the T-Mobile KTSGS4 Kernel does work on the i337M. My friend is running that on his S4 without any issues. Its just critical that you are running it with the T-Mobile kernel.

Thanks for answering me I know this isn't the right thread.... But I'm trying to find a kernel that runs cooler than stock because my phone gets damn hot playing games... Are all t-mobile kernels Ok to try?

Which one you got? Does it lag?
Swyped from another galaxy
i got the 16gb att version....it lags when on energy saver mode besides that its ok. The thing that upset me is half the storage is already used with all the stuff on the phone. It cam with about 8gb free. I am still playing around with it, the battery seems to drain quick but that's normal for a new cell out the box.

No real issue's for me, but i've been using only custom roms.
The correct firmware does help.

Totally happy with my S4. Have had it from May and never had a single issue or FC.
With root and all bloatware frozen, I can easily do a full day with 4-5 hours screen time.
So I'm in no hurry for any 4.3 or 4.4 update whatever ... You know "Don't fix it if it's working" :victory:
That's true.
I installed a complete new firmware. Working fine now.
Had a problem with my sd card ,but seems that my sd card was defect

Random reboots - GT-I9505, Help`?

Hi, i've got my hands on a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running 4.2.2 MH6. Im updating it at the moment. but it reboots atleast 2 to 3 times a day. for no reason? it's not modded but AVG is installed. could that be the problem?
Can you make screenshots about your app launcher and sys info? Looks like some strange apps led to that. Or you can try to flash a Perseus kernel(or Adam,up to u).

Updated it to 4.3 but the problems are still there, it's under warranty. i noticed now that there was another problem. Network signal goes off then after some seconds it reboots as well. Should i turn it in again? it was just in for screen replacement! problems started after the screen was replaced! no problems before! it's a freind of mine that has this phone! and no he isn't going to mod his phone.
Anyone?

As already mentioned in other threads it's most likely that's the battery that needs to be changed due to a series of bad batteries that was shipped with the galaxy S4.
try it out with another battery and your problem will be solved

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?
I remind you I have a N900, 4.4.2...

I'm not really sure what advice I can offer. But let me try that game for you. If it doesn't lag perhaps you could try using the rom/kernel I'm on?

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.
