Overheating

This thing gets hot! Just been configuring launcher pro which took around 5 minutes and wasn't data intensive and the back of the phone is really hot. So much that I can smell the plastic heating up! The battery drained real fast during the process too.
Anyone else experiencing this ?

Well that doesn't sound good! I haven't had anything like that. Have you checked the power intake?

Mine got really hot the first day I used it (27/4)...I was just checking out features and installing a few apps. I rebooted it after the battery was fully charged and it's been fine ever since.

I have the exact same problem, it happens especially when I play any games or intensive appliaction. The battery drains and it gets hot next to the camera, I suspect this is where the cpu lives. Do you think its because its rooted? because I rooted it as soon as I got it so I dont know what it was like before.
And as I am away from the uk for the next six weeks I cant even send it back to O2

No nothing to do with root, mine was same before and after, pretty normal to get hot on some demanding apps.

It gets really hot sometimes though, not to the extent of burnt plastic smell but it gets pretty uncomfortable touching around lens at the back.

I've been going through this this morning. It seems that the CPU loves to go up to 1.2GHz even if it doesn't need to be that high (and it stays there). Also there I've also been noticing through ADB shell that their are a few niggles. For example the wi-fi sharing process can start without even being activated.
For example this was a ADB shell top taken while running Cordy downclocked to 800MHz in setcpu. The phone was a tiny bit warm but only by the camera (where the CPU is). Basically, this just shows that if you are playing a game, nothing else is going on so the CPU shouldn't be going up to 1200MHz. And it plays the same as when it isn't underclocked.
I'm currently assisting Pulser with investigating this until he gets his SGS2.

My phone gets very hot at time too...
I also noticed wifi sharing starting up by itself. Yesterday it started by itself and used 10% battery usage even though I had wifi switched off the entire time..

Do you have root and Titanium/MyBackup Pro?
If you do, freeze anything that mentions wifi sharing, unless you are going to use wifi hotspot and kies air a lot.

My phone got so hot that it shut itself down!
since that i have done a complete reset of the phone and started from scratch again....100% better.
The problem as i see it is with all the 'tinkering' that we users do. All the additional launchers etc and widgets that you add really seem to mess the phone up!
My advice is keep the phone as samsung intended it...or at least change very little. You will see far improved battery life and none of the over heating problems.
Just my opinion but its worked for me.

Find the nearest Apple store near you.

The only time i had this was when it waa both charging, in a case and playing a big game...
Im currently chatting, listening to a live stream, charging and posting this, no problem with heat at all..
Perhaps its a problem with some specific phones

that's just not true.
Mine gets hot aswell .. it's random sometimes but usualy with playing games etc. I suspect it has something to do with the samsung drivers/software and not our tinkering.
Bugs bugs bugs...

Mine also gets fairly hot, which might be a little uncomfortable - but that's the sacrifice you make when you get such a high powered device in such a small space.

Well,amount of apps/tinkering/etc has nothing to do with the phone getting got UNLESS an installed app in messing something up.I have heard many such cases when a rogue app made the CPU run at 100% in different phones.If that's the case you have to find and remove the app.I'd suggest OS monitor for finding it.Never happened to me though!
What's more,it's normal for it to get more hot than your average phone,as it carries more power under the hood and has nothing to help it dissipate the generated heat,as it's plastic.The Desire HD does a very good job with managing heat and I have never exceeded 40 C,even when gaming with an overclock at 1.8GHz and performance governor.Not saying the DHD is better,but Samsung wouldn't have left something like this if it would damage the phone.So I tend to believe that it's designed to get hot.

Mine has overheated twice.
Both times, when trying to pair itself automatically to my car kit. The phone got really really hot (i noticed it warming my leg in my jeans pocket) and needed the battery pulling out to reset it. When it started back up, the running temp was nearly 50 degrees (in standby, it runs at about 27)
Hasn't done it since though, just keeping my eye on it!

Phone gets super hot after 2-3 mins of gaming

So I've been playing Arcane Legends rpg game , the phone gets hot on the top back of the phone . Anyone with the same issue ? Gets even hotter with a case on it's ridiculous Phone is completely stock 4.2.1

It happens. It happened to me just today.

How much is "super hot"?? Install the app called GS Battery Monitor and see the temperature of your battery. If it is more than 40 then it's something to worry. Or else you are good.

Seems pretty normal, screen is on, graphics are cranking, its an online game too right?
Best you can do is if you were to be rooted you could try underclocking to limit the CPU, or limit it to less CPUs, from getting that high so it doesn't produce as much heat, or really as easily.

Are you trying to say something that generates heat gets hotter if you cover it up?!
Because that makes perfect sense.

My phone did the same thing. It got very unbearable to hold. My solution was to return the phone back to LG/Google for a refund.

Stock kernel? No wonder. Even mine gets hot after browsing. Fixed by installing a custom kernel.

[Q] My Galaxy S4 gets Hot D:

Hello, I just wanted to know how I can cool down my S4 while doing tasks. I know smartphones get warm but mine actually gets hot D:. After about 5-10minutes of browsing the Web or playing ANY games, or even going on apps like flipboard it gets to about 37 degrees. I would assume if I was browsing the internet outside in summer it would get to over 40 degrees. I seem to get the same temperatures even after installing a rom. I have installed an app called trickster mod and with it I have underclocked my phone and changed the governer but it still gets to the same temperatures. Does your S4 get this hot? Is it normal?

1. If u have updates via OTA or Kies/3... Update ur phone
2. Replace battery :highfive:

Do you have an sd card installed? I've read multiple stories of this device heating up while sd card is mounted, that is IF you can get this cheap pos to read an sd card. I have a g2 and a GS4, samsung really screwed up one of the only differentiating features of the phone which is ability to use an sd card.

My phone gets warm but never really hot. Is your phone in a case like an Otter Box. Is it plugged in or just operating on batteries. How stock is the phone/battery? So many questions but the bottom line is most of the time my phone runs pretty cool. I might suggest an app like SD Maid to make sure your not running a lots of juice using programs in the background, or a program like App Brain Ad Detector to see what's running and causing your phone to heat up.
They get warm but should not get hot!

S7 edge overheating

Hi guys,
I just got a new s7 edge. Been used for two weeks now.. it gets quite warm and at time quite hot suring operation like browsing web youtube checking emails.mostly the top right side and camera area. Im not sure if its a defect or not.. it doesnt get to the point where the phone shuts down but its still warm..i know the normal stuff like getting hot during charging or using the phone during charging. This is when the phone is being used and off the charger .
Simple tasks 30 to 40 degrees celsius youtube and web browsing it goes between 40 to 50 degrees. And for games it goes upto 60 degrees celsius..
Is the phone meant to be this warm/]hot ??
Please help..
I tried the normal procedures. Safe mode , format etc . I disabled apps. optimised apps etc.. still quite warm. When the phone is not in use its cool as a cucumber .

Really weird. I can play games with really sick high end graphics and the phone stays quite cold. The only moment when my S7 Edge gets quite hot is when I record slow motion video.
How is Your battery life? 4-6 hours SOT is normal. If You have less then You should check what app uses Your phone.
Also You can try first, formating the phone(data etc) and then flashing new rom with Odin. It will rewrite whole system partition.

SOT is excellent i average between 4.5 to 7 hours..
My app usage is fine..they say certain apps can make it warm.. I am using cpu z ro monitor the temperatures..
Not sure whether i should return this phone and get another one. Seems there are people with overheating s7 edges..

Well I guess if it doesn't bother You then You can keep the device..

It's a problem with a lot of the samsung phones I've previously had (S3,S4,S5,S6,and now S7 edge) on the bright side, it keeps me really toasty during the winter weather.

This is the first Samsung phone I've ever owned that doesn't get warm. Its the exynos version. I would be worried if yours is getting very hot for no reason.

It gets warm while i start using apps.. like browsing the web pn google chrome and listening to music on google music . Goes up to 40 to 50 degrees celsius..
On the other hand watchinf a video on vlc media player the phones nice n cool..

CPU can get to 80C and that's still in range for normal work, so unless it gets choppy or shuts down - don't worry. see what apps are the most battery consuming ones

LG G6 Heating Problem

I bought an LG G6 not so long ago. But I have noticed it is getting really warm when using it. It normally hitting 36-41 degrees Celcius, this is so especially when I am using the camera.
Is this the normal temperature for this phone? Are there solutions to this problem?
Thanks for your replies in advance.

I didnt measure but my phone doesnt get hot. In fact S7 and P10 I had before were considerable warm when using with cam and games...P10 even on 4G.....G6 has an advanced cooling system as I heard nad on that part should be better....Do you use any kind of case? It should help at least you wont notice it. Your temps arent so high to damage your phone...

could be you have a rogue app

Yes. The G6 has a more advanced cooling system and non of this should be happening. My worry is that I got a faulty machine and i might regret in the future.
I will get a case and see the difference.. If it persists I will consider returning.
Thanks

I have been monitoring my usage whenever it starts hot and closed some of the apps that were just running idle and nothing. I also did a factory reset and that did not help as well.

What is your cell signal strength and what radios (GPS? WiFi? Bluetooth? Cellular?) are you using when you get lots of heat?
It may be that you are pumping lots of energy into maintaining a weak connection over LTE, while using GPS and bluetooth. In such situation, you could get warm even if you aren't doing anything CPU/GPU intensive, even with screen off.

sounds like it could be faulty my lg g6 never gets warm unless its working really heard ie installing tons of stuff

Not a problem unless a message pops up saying it's too hot and it must dim your screen. Never had that on my G6 even in direct sunlight or doing VR.

Idk mine never gone to more than 38 degrees... And that was when temperure here in my ****ry were like 40 outside... So actually that is what i like about the phone that it is always cool ? currently @ 25, average 30, max. 34. Soo that's dope for me.
