S4 is getting VERY hot?!? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im playing very often games on my S4. After 30-60 minutes (depending on game) my S4 is getting very hot.
Sometimes so hot i can't touch the screen anymore.
Do you have the same problems? Or is it just me

Same problems for everyone welcome to the gs4 world. Suggest you get a better case for your phone.

Ok i will look for another case.
Can it be dangerous for the device? Can it break because of this?

If it gets 'too' hot in theory it should power off, so it shouldn't break the device.

Battery suddenly drops to 0%

Hi,
Since about a week ago my nexus suddenly started to die at about 30-40%, it depends. I don't really care about the fact that my battery is empty, but the fact that it happens on 30% and I don't receive a notification at 14% is really annoying. Is there a fix for this?
I'm running Aicp with stock Aicp kernel.
EDIT: Since I stopped charging my battery percentage hasn't changed for about half an hour.
Edit 2: I rebooted and now it's 41%.. Really strange

It's getting worser now, it usually turns off when it's around 40% and around 50% I lose connection with mobile network and can't connect any more. I've tried different radio's but had no effect. I'd really like to know how to fix this. Or is the only solution to buy a new battery?

Take the back off the phone and see if your battery is bulging. This sounds like a battery issue. I had similar symptoms on my last phone. I took the battery out and spun it like a top.

Yeah I had it with my old galaxy Y too, my battery became so fat the battery cover didn't fit any more. But that happened slightly, this came out of nothing.

Haha, I was with friends and suddenly I noticed that I was able to spin my phone, and together with the fact that the battery was acting strange I thought it must have been swollen. And yesterday I saw a little lump.

Any one seeing this before?

The purple dot on the side of the screen and half of the screen became weird today. Never seen it before. It is not effecting the touch or anything.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
uh oh, screen issues
is it constantly there or comes and goes? I'd warranty it right away nevertheless
It will go away eventually.. I'm noticing it only happened when the phone in sleep mode overnight.

Battery hot?

I came from an S3 and had an S2 briefly before that. I remember how hot the S2 could get, but my S3 mainly ran cool. This S5 (AT&T) is always warm, often above 100 degrees fahrenheit. I can usually overlook small issues, but this is uncomfortable.
I'm open to any good ideas or suggestions. Any one else notice this?

my g900f is hot too.
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
I think I found something that helps: I uninstalled any app that has battery monitoring or control as part of its function. I also cleaned house on apps I don't have to have. Now my battery runs much cooler and lasts longer.

Battery Drain

So lately I've been getting a horrible battery drain on my s4 no matter what ROM I use i still have this problem. My phone won't charge, sometimes if I do a reboot it'll work fine but it always comes back. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

I have insurance on it through best buy mobile, so if I return it to stock do you think they would swap it for a new one?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm gonna flash back to stock with the NAE .tar file and if problem still occurs then I'll go to best buy mobile and get it looked at and see if they will swap it out with new one. I really want the s4 with spark compatibility anyway lol.

I use 360 antivirus. One of the best there is.. Just trying to help.. Hope whatever it is you get it resolved @churchey360

@flashback7 I don't think that's it but it could be lol. I'm thinking its because I've been using wifi tethering alot lately and it drains my battery and makes my phone really hot. One time it got so hot that I got a message saying my battery was overheated and my phone shut off. I think that may be the cause of it.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That'll do it. I unplug mine before it overheats.
