Normal.
Yep, very normal. However I did find that using GPS really heated things up... next hottest is games

probably using that particular GPS software, not just GPS antenna by itself?
does it heat up if you just display GMaps with your location, without doing anything heavy in GMaps? Because I did not notice that much heat coming from using light GPS apps. Gaming - yes, some of those games are killers.
I am using Navigon software. I played Angry Birth and the same,phone was hot after 5min. I know is normal that phone is warm, but this is not warm,but hot.Galaxy S was cold compare to S II.

Of course it's NOT normal. Might be normal for SGS2 but not for others. as I've said on another thread, Navigating with GPS driving it got to 60C, you could slowly cook an egg at 60C.
Mine doesn't get especially warm, It gets well 4-5 degrees warmer when I browse the web or watch HD movies
It's think it's high screen brightness in combination with SW (high CPU load)!
Mine is never warm if brightness is kept below 50%
My screen brightnes is 0%. It is hot at the top where is CPU I gues.

How many degrees celsius is taken as very hot on the Galaxy S II?.
I was overclocking my Galaxy S II earlier and my temprature was up to 46 degrees celsius when i was running a stress test on the phone.
So i just stopped my stress test of the phone then.
How did you measure temperature?I have just battery temp. it is 42.

You can download the same stress test program as i'm using from Android Market. It's called StabilityTest v1.5.
it will test your CPU's on your Galaxy S II if you are overclocking it. But you can check the temprature even if you aren't overclocking.
the temp rise is sort of random, i can play games for hours (and its 26C here) with brightness on auto and so on, it doesnt get hot
then suddenly, it does, sometimes even when im not doing much
didnt get the time to pin point w/e thing creates that behavior
(and when i say hot ofc im talking of very very hot - which is what everyone talks about imo)
killall or restart and its good to go til it happens again

I'm running that app now. I wanted to get an idea of temperatures at stock before undervolting/clocking so I could see how much difference it made. But the phone is seriously hot to the touch, enough to be worrying about. The app's reporting 50C after 37min but it feels hotter than that to me.
Some components are designed to run hot. For example I have an ATI 4850 that happily runs 70+C at idle is rated for up to 120C. But I'm worried even if the exynos can handle these temps what about the other components? The top of the screen feels even hotter back. Could this cause damage to the display for example?
This is my first smart phone but having that much heat in such a tightly packed device seems like a recipe for failure.
You will find temps of 50 deg centigrade and more when using all resources of SGS II (e.g. nav with wikitude drive = camera on) and phone attached to car screen on a sunny hot day.
This is normal!
Touch a nav-device in action and You will find it glowing ......
But contrary to HTC HD 2 SGS II does not freeze or crash at that point.
Leave a device switched off in direct sunlight in a car and it will get hot too, but still it will work .....

my phone was getting extremely hot when benchmarking etc, this was default clock and voltages.
the phone reported it was reaching 50 degrees. thought this was "normal". this was on the firmware the phone was running outta the box.
flashed latest firmware and have since messed about with overclocking, @ 1650 my phone never got as hot as it did stock.
so if you have not done it, flash the latest FW...
So your cpu is not 1200 but 1650mHz now?

Been running tons of different ROMs on tons of different Android devices, and every once in a while there is a particular combo that gets tremendously hot.
Once had my N1 get so hot while using Co-Pilot Live and Spotify while plugged into a car charger, that it turned off and wouldn't come on again for some 5-10 minutes.. Definitely worrying.. Switched ROMs and never saw the problem again.
See thread title.
While playing simple games (like Flow Free), Facebook, and web browsing, my phone can get really warm/hot. It gets much worse while doing these while it's charging.
I haven't experienced any problems with the heat except when I was installing a lot of things via the Play store, and I got a couple reboots. It's fine otherwise... just hot.
Anyone else experience this?
Mine feels normal during everyday use, during games, about the same, ever so slightly warmer at most. I don't really notice. Any background processes heating your phone up? How is battery life as well?
Your previous phone probably got just as hot. The glass helps transfer the heat better than plastic.
Mine does get warm as well But I think the fact that we feel it might have to do with the size of the device. It's pretty thin.
Mine gets pretty toasty, but that's when I'm using it pretty extensively, like browsing web/forums for an hour straight.

Battery life is pretty good. I'll go through a whole days use with juice to spare.
My phone gets hotter than warm though. Last night playing Flow Free while charging, pressing my finger on the screen eventually gave a little sting.
I know this phone has a lot more CPU power than the hercules (Tmo GS2), but the GS2 with its big glass front never got hot like this, and it would rarely get warm.
I think if your phone is rebooting because of the heat generated from installing apps, you need to RMA it. My phone definitely feels hot after a session of playing a game but it has never rebooted because of it.
Guys, it's a highend phone, what do you expect?
Do you expect a high-end CPU in a desktop PC to run cool? Even in standby an i7 can go up to 30-40°C depending on voltage. And for four cores at 1.512 MHz theres a lot of voltage needed. Don't worry about it unless you get reboots thats not normal.
If the problem continues, send them up here to the north of Sweden. It's gonna be -25°C tomorrow and I could do with some handwarmers
I've had a overheating while playing stupid zombies 2, the phone got hot as ever, but strangely seems to be a ROM related problem, as I had this issue with aokp, while on cm10, playing the same game, the phone get lightly warm, but no more. I was using Franco kernel on both too

never more than a little warm with extensive use.
I'm on stock, updated the phone to whatever is the latest version that google pushed and i just started playing Angry brids for about 10 mintues and the phone got noticeably warm. I guess this is the new 'normal' now?
Mine only gets hot when I'm charging it and using it at the same time.

I have a battery widget and at times when on calls ive gotten up to 101F
i want to say my phone runs warmer than my buddy running the same widget
Mine has only been hot after charging on the Panasonic pad. If the glass breaks from it then RMA!

It certainly gets hot, but only slightly more than my Samsung GS1 i9000. Fact of life when running a quad core at these speeds without a fan.
Mine does it too but m not complaining

Mine gets pretty hot. G SAM app reports that the battery has reached 110*f from internet browsing on 3g.
I noticed mine gets pretty warm if I use it for a while just browsing the web.

Mines fine during normal usage. Except when I play graphically demanding games such as need for speed most wanted, after the first race, the screen and the back near the top is hot. Worried about it, I remember the HTC sensation used to get real hot as well, but I've also got an aftermarket battery which also helped with the heat.

Hello XDA,
I decided to open this topic as I've been fumbling around with my device alot lately. Lately I've started to notice a dramatic increase of temperature while using my device running simple tasks like chrome, whatsapp etc. This only sometimes gets the device till 45-50 degrees Celsius, this is the CPU's temperature. While gaming, it reaches a whopping 60C ! Flashed to stock, updated to new base, reboot after reboot did not solve this issue. While charging sometimes it gets really really hot!
Now I'm wondering about your experiences, how hot does your CPU get doing what tasks? I'm wondering because im contemplating whether or not bring my device in to a service center as I've never had a device CPU above 45 degrees celsius.

I think its normal.
Does your phone start to lag when it gets hot? If not, then in my opinion you are still safe.
Same here, but I only realized it was heating last month. Maybe it has something to do with a background process? Sometimes I can even feel the heat when my phone is in my pocket
It doesnt lag, but it does heat up ALOT while doing light tasks, up to 50C

My S4 heats up on charge with any battery.
I found mine goes really hot on charge than heat goes down on trickle charge.
I see the camera lens gets heated up after taking 5 to 6 snaps continuously. Also after using google maps & downloading some apps from play store, i see back side of the phone gets heated (not very extensive CPU operation).
Did anyone face similar issues?
Under heavy use this phone has to be the "coolest" running phone I've had in a long time. Even charging it gets warm, but not hot.
The phone getting warmer is normal with use, the camera is mostly software so it is CPU heavy.
If it's getting "hot" there's an issue. Remove the case if you have one on. See if that makes a difference.

Mine seems to be getting really warm too, after using it for a bit. I installed a temp monitoring app and my battery and you both go between 78-96f. Is that normal for this phone, or is it something that I should get an exchange over?

35C (or 96F) is nothing to worry about. That's actually cool compared to most other phones.

Good to know! It's been a long time since I've even thought about phone temps, let alone notice mine change.
my set hit 50c with light usage.. not sure what happen.
Camera app also use up alot of power
Mine got heated initially for the first 2-3 days, and then it's been absolutely fine after that. I have the Indian Variant in case that helps.

Mine only rose 10F after using the camera for a little while. Went from 78F to 88F. I recorded video, took a ton of photos repeatedly.
Just for comparison, after about 45 mins of gaming it tops out at 96-97F.
My G6 is also heating up. Every time it heats up, I open the Battery Usage and stop "Media", just this one act makes the phone very cold in 2 minutes as if I have not used it for long time. What is this Media? how can I stop it automatically?

Sounds like you have a rogue app. I don't think I've ever seen my media do that.

How to know what this app is? I can't find this kind of app in Battery usage and also in AccuBattery app.
Sent from my LG-H870DS using Tapatalk
If you disabled any apps you need to go back and clear data and force stop them. Also force stop android system. If yiu don't use smart settings clear it's data and force stop as well as myplaces and myplaces engine.
---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ----------
Also go to media storage and clear it's data. Then you will need to rescan the media using a media scanning app(not sure if it requires root), if so just reboot. You'll have to reset your ringtones and what not but might help stop it from scanning constantly. How big is your sdcard and how many files are on it?
Heating up and poor battery life
I got a 870ds. I noticed some heating up everytime the screen is on... Whatever app i use or whatever i do. The battery is getting down the same time and i'm struggling to finish à day of normal usage.... Anyone has an idea of what can cause such issues?Thx a lot
when i accidentally click on a 3rd party camera app like Open Camera and don't know it it gets real hot real fast. I don't know why it is. the stock camera never gets that hot even with shooting tons of video at the concert the other night.
mine was getting warm sometimes but found it to be problem with apps/task running in background incorrectly (Greenify was my issue), uninstalled and phone remains cool even under quite heavy use.
Hi Jostian
An how i could find out wich Apps and tasks are running in teh backround incorrectly?
I would say maybe install something like Greenify..
I dont know how much will this affect, but I think using 3G/4G instead of wifi also makes the device get warm / hot faster..
I have no problems at all. Phone stays cool all the time, even when playing games
Hi Everyone,
I recently got my S10+ and if i'm using the camera a bit while listening to music, I find the left side getting warm and even hot right below the Bixby Button, no other apps running to my knowledge.
Is this normal?

I had a oneplus 6 before and it never got hot when doing simple tasks, only after taking lots of photos, the camera module would get warm (normal) or when gaming (normal). It seems to get hot just using bluetooth buds and taking a few photos. So everyones will get warm in that area after a bit of regular use?
Could it be the battery calibrating? I saw someone mention it might get warm in the beginning but go away after a few days?

If my memory serves me right that is the location on the heat pipe on the s10 plus does not explain why it's getting hot but that's why it's in that area. The cpu is situated close to that spot too. I
On the oneplus the cpu is located at the top so when holding the phone the heat is at the top so you cannot feel it as much could be the reason .

I don't use the camera much so cannot speak for that but I do play pubg mobile and other games on it and the heat can be felt in that area. There is always a little more heat there compared to the rest of the phone even under normal use. Most phones use the phones body to help disperse heat as they don't have fans I think it is more likely this than an issue with the phone. Are you recording with the camera or just taking photos with it ?
OP, you need to come up with some numbers in regards to what temp the battery or CPU is at .
First thing I noticed with the s10+ is that it feels warmer in the hands than my previous galaxy devices, note 9, note 8, so etc. Its the frame and material design that I believe to be the case for better heat dissipation and faster CPU.

I can try to attach a photo later, what i've seen after installing an app to monitor cpu heat, is roughly around 110 F for the CPU, sometimes even when i'm not using it, the battery will be a bit under 100 F. Is this normal? I also noticed uusuallly more than half the ram is being used even when it seems I have no apps open.

Try wiping your phone factory reset and or if you have sd card remove that first. Use Aida64 to post screen shots of battery temps etc.
