The white model. U hv this problem?
why note 1 heat up quite often after i use it for gaming or mobile internet. I thought it was quite normal
It is not the screen but the processor, exynos chips run super hot, same problem with S2 or note that could be solved undervolting it.

But it won't take any damage from it, right? It should be designed to work under maximum load and therefore heat for quite some time, I hope.
Are there any cases of s2 or s3 dying from overheating due to heavy cpu load like gaming?
It's perfectly normal , and nothing to be worried about. I would worry if it weren't getting hot xD
are u using 3g or wifi??

Actually the Exynos chip this generation shouldn't get as hot as previous generation. Since it made from the 32nm, for example, Samsung Galaxy S3 only gets to warm but not hot like the S2.
You should what is running in your background, I doubt Skype alone can ramp up all cores to make the heat your stating.
I did a 10minute skype call and yes it got warm but defenately not hot.
I confirm the area is the same as the OP says.
I did the call on 3g.
Will look more in to it today
Its much warmer than my S3. Not sure if its normal, even without skype and just browsing with 3g its warm on the top part
Edit delete please
I finally managed to get an hour+ gaming session. The processor gets noticeably warmer but I wouldn’t even describe it as “hot.” I can only compare it to the S2 which does get hot… very hot, very fast. I was surprised by how (relatively) cool the N2 remained. If it wasn’t for this thread, I wouldn’t even have remembered to touch the screen on top of the processor.
BTW, I’m not much of a gamer. This attempt was intended more to drive the battery down, so I could finish a full cycle and leave the phone charging overnight. Considering how long a full charge seems to last, this model looks like it doesn’t waste a lot of energy. That may explain why it doesn’t get as warm as some others.
After playing Shadowgun (galaxy s3 version that you can get for free from samsung apps) for about 20 min the phone got a little hot on the back at the top part. Nothing mayor.
Processors get hots when used. If I download a lot of stuff from Play store and at the same time play a high graphical game it will be kinda hot though.
Well this phones including my current one x have been designed to withstand enormous amount of heat..
When I game on hox it gets very hot..and according to people upto 100 degree celcuis it doesn't have any harm so getting warm is out of the question..
And quad cores running simultaneously generates loooot of heat..Bcoz there isn't a CPU fan in here..
So imo there is nothing to get worried

Good idea, I am having this issue, I had it with my S3, on the bottom of the phone, and my S4 is having it at the top of the phone.
I am going to carry on using the phone when it heats up too much, because it shouldn't damage the phone just for you to use it. If it does break, then I will send it back saying sort it out. I aint having Samsung sell a dodgy phone to me or anyone because they are just trying to keep in front of the competition. It's stupid.
Hopefully they will have common sense in the future. I have had the S1, S2 and S3 and S4, and been happy with all so far, but a bit annoyed about the heat issue on the S4 more than the one on the S3 because they have had enough people saying about it previously.

I had the S, S2, S3 and never had heat issues like the S4, only after an 1hr of GPS or gaming but not as much - I can cook an egg on my S4 just while surfing the web, what a nice feature!
When i dont touch for a while it is at 33C, but as soon as I read emails or light web browsing it reaches 44C, if then on youtube 48-55C.
when it get hot the battery % drops significantly and then when it cools down it recharge itself!
I was somewhere on S4 forum writed, this heating come most if device is on 4G (LTE) network. Try put on 3G (HSPA) or 2G (GSM) and you will see (and feel) device is much colder...

No difference at all, even tried 2G
There are times my s4 gets real hot. Can't even touch the screen! The worst it got was when I did an antutu stability test. If I remember it said like 45*c.

Normally heat isn't a problem at all.
But sitting in a bus in direct sunlight with max brightness made it totally hot!
I was only browsing, so it was due to the screen.
When I had to make a phone call I had to keep phone a bit away from my ear.
It took 10-15 minutes to cool down again.
I think every single S4 WILL get really hot under same conditions.
Don't know how if this would be same for other brands like HTC One or iPhone

Yesterday I used GPS for 15 mins on power save mode and still got at 48C, battery dropped significantly.
I haven't see many votes yet which makes me think that it is not a common problem...
Standby - <27C° Browsing, video and other simple tasks - <45C° Games - <60C° So,overheating as well. Unfortunately.
Sent from my GT-I9505
No issues at all. I have browsed for over an hour with no warm up. It warms a little when playing games or watching videos but no more than other phones ihave had and it doesn't justify the word 'overheat'.

Should I exchange it or just keep on using it ?

Ideal temp 27.5 (C)
saving mode activated and nothing running in the back ground. Is it good or bad?
When mine got hot it would be from simple tasks like browsing the net for 10 minutes. At its peak, you could not touch your face with it to make a call. (Think its update fixed it though, must have been software problem for me).
No issues so far.
Do you run with auto-brightness? What conditions do you experience this in?
Hot ambient temperature, sunlight?

Auto brightness is on and working and still when i do few things on the phone the heat start to raise in an obvious way at the back of the phone around the camera area, then if i do make a phone call seriously the heat is very annoying to a degree that makes you just want to finish the call cause its very hot.
Hmm.
I guess there's a wide spread then. From perfectly fine to absurdly bad and maybe even defective. :\
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a new note 4 St N910C. Just after a day of usage I felt that it is getting hot when I play games on it. I closed all the background apps even resetted it but still no luck. My phone is getting heated up near the camera area. My question is that is this a hardware issue or a software one, because if it is a hardware issue I should try and get it replaced, if a software one I should better wait for a lollipop update.
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks

Well i bought this unit after along study of whether to get the exynos version or the snapdragon version, in my opinion I found the exynos to be better because many users suggested that this version does not heat up and works better, but now as I'm using it personally I think it heats up alot, the temperature I get is around 36-38 degrees.

Galaxy Note 4 heating [camera]
I purchased Galaxy Note 4 [SM-N910G] a week back. It's on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat)
I am having a different problem for which I could not find any satisfying solution on the Internet. Whenever I open camera app, the phone starts heating up near camera & battery also drains very quickly [around 2% under 5 min.]
I know that the phone will heat up a little bit when playing high graphics games, but I don't think it should heat up too much when using camera app.
I have already factory reset [both soft & hard reset] the phone, but still it does not help. I contacted Samsung support, & they told me to 'Reset app preferences' from Application manger, but still the device heats up when using camera app.
I also cleared data of the camera app, but still the issue remains
The phone does not heat up at all on standby mode, but opening camera app raises it's temperature more than it should. Previously a Note 2 user, this problem was not there.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue on Note 4 ? Any ideas on this ?
The phone heats up only if you're recording 4k or 2k video.If you use camera generally & your device heats up.You must get your device checked

You can factory reset all day, it won't help. Thats not a problem, the camera just uses a lot of processor power and thus generates heat. You can't change that, you have to live with it
My note 4 with ****y snapdragon heat like fire
I wanna replace it because of the overheating I can't something even hold it I put is always in freezer to cold it
With cpu temp app it gave me 60c even without games the :crying:best value was 40c but when I put it in freezer it down to 30c
And the weard thing that at the same time the cpu temperature app gave me 60c the cpu cooler app gave me 34c
Weard which is right? ??

Sorry, but do you have any idea about CPU temperatures? 60 isn't bad. 40 isn't bad. 30 isn't bad. Even 70° and occasionally 79° would be acceptable. Don't put your phone into the freezer, ity not good to freeze the hardware.. Especially if you literally have no problem. The CPU is prone to temperature fluctuations and your values are fully normal in the world of CPUs. There is no best value, everything up to 70° is the normal temperature variation. Your phone doesn't have a problem, its perfectly fine.
Mine actually heats up while charging and using at same time. Clean master shows 70-75°C cpu temperature while using browser and stuff but 80+ while gaming, that's not normal right? I'm worried cuz I always used my old phones while charging and they never got this hot, I feel like it will melt someday :/ In what temperatures exynos operates?
I got my SM-N910F yesterday and installed LP 5.0.1 via OTA. Temperatures are 40+ when the phone isnt doing anything. While I did the Antutu Benchmark, it was around 50-52 degrees (Celsius). Feels much warmer than my previous Note 3 (which of course never had LP). And since i am not used to this temparature on my Note 3, i kinda worry about the temps right now. I read a lot that many have that problem since LP update. So whats normal and what would be too high for regular usage (not using Camera or playing Games) ? Is there an average i can go by and compare ?
And whats my alternatives now if I want lower temps , go back to 4.4.4 Stock Rom (currently have LP 5.0.1 Stock) or do I try a 5.x Custom ROM . Did the Custom ROMS fixed these heating problems or is that just something I have to live with ?
Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone
Yesterday I received my Moto X pure Edition, after 3 hour of charge I transfer all of my files and stuff from my old Nexus 5. After a few minutes of use I noticed that the phone started to overheat excessively (110 farenheit) and the battery only lasted 3 hours, I did a complete reset of the phone but the same result overheat after 15 minutes of use.
I replaced/updated the play services software and same thing.

If you were setting up your phone of course it will get hot. After that it should settle down unless rogue app or games.

I honestly don't think it is. I had 3 G4s and they were all hot and glitchy. I honestly think it is the sd808. Back when I called Samsung about exchanged a note 4 developer edition the guy told me that snapdragon 808/810 were heat prone and they would not be using them for upcoming phones. That was before it was publicly known. I still think there is something awry with their latest processors. Even late batch sd805 had heat issues. My note 5 had zero signs of heat and my note 4 you really have to push to get hot. The g4 & moto x got hot texting or web browsing! I don't get it. Can't be a confidence that both are 808 processors and heat demons

I don't understand how it's so hard for them to make a chip not overheat. I mean this isn't the first, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation of chips. Perhaps custom kernels will allow us to throttle better?
Cool here except when turbo charging or navigation is on.

Computers get hot, CPU's get hot, PC's and laptops have fans to keep them cool...cell phones do not. I do not believe that any cell phone will ever stay "cool" when doing CPU/GPU intensive tasks. That's just the way it is.
turbo charger will heat it up that is obvious but yes when you do stuff that uses lots of cpu/ram it will heat up a little same was with my note4 .
Mine only overheats when I am doing some heavy usage...I don't think "Overheat" is the right word, maybe just "gets warm". But over the weekend, I acquired a Samsung Galaxy S6 (in a trade for a different phone). When setting it up, it was getting hotter than the MXP ever got. I checked it with Gsam battery and it was 133 degrees and took about 30 minutes to cool down. My MXP gets hot, but cools down pretty quick.

It's the Media Scanner service. Because you added all that media from the Nexus 5 it had to be indexed. Once done, it will settle down and be OK.
This is some information I found in another thread:
"For each file and directory it finds it creates an entry in the so-called Android Media Store. For special file types like images, videos and music files it also scans for meta data like EXIF information for images and mp3 tags for music files. Applications may query the Media Store to find specific files bases on the file type or meta data. Well known applications that do so are the Gallery and the Music Player. Other applications may also do so.
The media scanner runs as a background service and is not visible to the user. "
As the title states already hating this phone and I still have like 700 left to pay on it. It Overheats atleast 2 times a day if not more. Can't seem to handle much I only live in the UK. I would hate to be somewhere where it is hot all the time.
Wow that's bad glad I don't face these issues. My device had been running smoothly from day one and no overheating even with 35°C and up.
Do you mind sharing what you're doing with your device when it overheats?
When being used in my car and when playing Pokémon go usually. I know it could be classed as high usage.
But I have never had this problem before. And definitely not while in use in my car being charged using maps and music etc
Better make sure you don't overheat yourself while driving. My device doesn't get a chance to overheat while navigating as it is positioned in front of the air-conditioning keeping it nice and cool.
I've had overheating in the past with my Note 9 but haven't seen it one my OP8Pro yet.
However it might have something to do with the latest firmware as my device does get warmer than before and battery drains much faster.

As the title states already hating this phone and I still have like 700 left to pay on it. It Overheats atleast 2 times a day if not more. Can't seem to handle much I only live in the UK. I would hate to be somewhere where it is hot all the time.

I have exactly the same issue as described. Only solution I found to 'lower' a bit the occurences of getting this annoying message that the phone is overheating, as well as a severe throttling of the screen and CPU, is to force the phone to use specific CPU frequencies depending on what app is running (scenarios). I do this through Franko Kernel Manager, but maybe some other apps could offer the same functions. I do love that phone but this overheating issue is seriously getting on my nerves too...

What OS you running mate? Where's it from ? What model?
It's more than likely that a particular region / model / firmware will be having more issues than others.
On a personal note my device has remained cool even after playing Dreamcast games via a Bluetooth controller for over an hour. Just doesn't overheat, the 865 has great efficiency which was one of its plus points over the 855. Probably the CPU / GPU has an imperfect contact with your heatsink.
If that's the case then it'll progress and will end up a lot worse, so an RMA would be the only option, be sure to get the tech to make some notes.

Normal unrooted stock. OnePlus UK OnePlus 8 Pro.
It seems to run hot to the touch most of the time.
I am having the same issues.
I got the phone two days ago, still not facing these issues.
I've been driving my current car for almost 2 years now. I've used a magnetic phone holder on an AC vent and have turned that vent off ever since. For 2 years I've charged phones will using Google Maps/music streaming with no issues. Phones include Galaxy S10, S20U, Note 10, OP 7, etc. with no issues. This OnePlus 8 Pro overheats very easily and I've resorted to actually turning the AC vent on in order to avoid it.
I'm not sure what happened, but the 8 Pro has had some serious QC issues.
Maybe a factory reset would help with overheating issues, a total wipe. I used fastboot erase userdata while in the bootloader mode. I had a couple of issues and after resetting, they seemed to go away.

Yea defo not right pal, send that back.. if it's from three then go into store, see if they can swap over the counter.
Had my phone a week and its done it once. Was in the car sitting on my console kinda in direct sunlight and charging. This worries me cause (what if I go to the beach will it overheat) and (2) what if I have it in the holder on my bike while I'm out and about will it overheat?

Every phone I've ever had would overheat left in direct sun and charging in the summer

It's been 35C + in the UK this past week and my phone has remained cool throughout, no problems whatsoever.
The 865 is a great chip, it's extremely efficient unless you get a bad one which could happen with any SOC, even Intel and AMD have some bad eggs. It happens unfortunately.
Same as some chips overclock better than others
Has happened to me numerous times too. Usually when using Android Auto in the car (not when it's warm outside) and also when outside in the sun. This is my 2nd 8pro and it happened on the first too.

Are you charging and using GPS at the same time during use of Android auto?
Thats a sure fire way to bake any phone, even a stand alone GPS unit.

Nope. On its own. I have to blow the aircon on the phone to keep it cool when navigating. Also using the phone this week with my drone I couldn't see the screen because it kept on overheating and decreasing the brightness. Never happened once on my 7pro.

I haven't had that issue in any way, was playing Dreamcast and Wii games for a few hours earlier, didn't even feel warm.
GPS can be a drain on power, depends on a few things though.
But turning off like that? I would suggest that's a fault. Probably an imperfect contact with the heatsink.
Just a thought but are you running QHD and 5G.
I don't use either.. try turning to 4G and FHD, might be why?
If not then I'd see what OnePlus or your supplier can do about a replacement. Really need to get the point over that its not a software issue, probably perform a factory wipe just to be sure prior to sending anything off to them.
Shame that it's happening to be honest.

The phone dims the display when it starts to overheat and a message pops up saying it's overheating. Jerry rig shows two dollops of heat sink paste on the CPU so I suspect OP know then have problems, they've also decreased the max brightness after an update most likely to counteract the overheating. It's happened with my two 8pros so I doubt it's a manufacturing ,most likely the SOC naturally runs warmer or the design doesn't dissapate heat effectivity. Doesn't bother me massively but it does happen.
