230c sometimes the BGA ICs fall off and I have to open the phone and reball the ICs and flow them back into place

I got my first SGS2 and it was really getting hot especially when streaming movies or playing games etc..i could not touch the back portion where the camera lense was. That phone had a 3g connectivity issue..so i had to return it..anyway while waiting for my usb jig to arrive..i bought another SGS2... using it the same way like my first phone, it never got hot till now..even playing games or streaming movies..it only gets warm and when i checked the battery temp..always showing about 36 to 38 degrees. On first phone, my record temp was 49 degrees and maybe it could have gone higher if i did not shut the phone down and cool it..

Got it to 45C tops, when playing heavy games continuously.

It goes upto 45 for me as well. I felt it very hot just once on the second day after I got it where I feel it went above 45. After that I've been using a cover so I dont notice the heat much and since that its never gone aove 40. Its better if you install some temperature app to monitor. Battery circle is good as it gives the temperature as well as the battery percentage remaining.
The reason it heats up so much is because there is very little gap between the components and the phones body since its very thin so the heat gets transferred directly. But it cools down pretty easily.
Sometimes it could also be because of an app- in my case it was twitter. I login only with Wi-Fi and I have disable data so it kept trying to connect and that heated up the phone. After that experience, I always turn it off after I disconnect from Wi-Fi.

My phone get's VERY hot, will also crash and a yet to be unmentioned thing, is that if I turn it off an hour or so it feels the need to automatically turn itself on again. Anyhow I will be getting a replacement of the phone selling it as brand new and be getting a new different phone.

My phone used to get hot initially when i used to use stock kernels... Then I flashed insecure kernels...one thing I noticed that when I flashed Chainfire's kernel, the phone tries to stay at an optimum cpu frequency even while playing games on it...I tested this using cpu spy... I found the phone rarely used 1200 Mhz frequency but still felt buttery smooth... when the phone constantly stays at 1200 Mhz, then cpu heats up, but when it is at 800 Mhz, it never heated up even with the heaviest usage... and ya, my phone is not under/overclocked

mine doesn't get tooo hot unless i've overclocked it or something, have a go at undervolting it, look at tekrak's overclock guide in android development for advice on that
it should help temperature problems, i hardly get them

I've done the air condition trick after it got too hot twice. But I had a doubt as to whether the sudden heating and cooling will have a damage on the phone and so stopped that. Now I just wait for it to cool down.

I've got it up to 55°, playing order & chaos over wi-fi, max brightness and connected to my charger supply.

Connecting it to the charger itself heats it up a lot so I can imagine what will happen over wifi with heavy gaming

Didn't it damage your phone?

Got this phone just yesterday. Highest temps i've had so far while gaming over WiFi and charging: +39C CPU, +42C battery. Before launching any game i take the phone out of protective case and set CPU to 200-800MHz.
The only problem so far is Pocket Legends that freezes every few minutes. I found the thread about it here on XDA and on official website. This game was the main reason why i bought this phone. Wanted to play it on high-quality, large screen... Sigh

How hot is your Galaxy S2 ?

I was playing a game for about 2 hours, Drag Racing, and suddenly I felt the back of the phone really hot
I took some screen shots and after I continued my game, but the temperature didn't exceed 53 degrees Celsius, not that fahrenheit bull****.

One suggestion to keep things cool is dont play heavy games while charging, Let the phone charge while your asleep, and use it when your not.
This way you wont have to face heat issues(well at least temp wont get very high)
ive had my phone for few days, it gets hotter than any smartphone ive used before, even under heavy browsing while not charging.
I'm planning to get a case and concerned that the phone will fry itself while inside the case..
btw what program are you using in the screenshot to read non-bull temperature values ?
What is the program you are using please?
normal regular use - 35 celc
gaming/heavy use - max i have got is 45 celc
charging without use - 41 celc
charging with use - about 45 again.
id say mine isnt too bad.. i have a case on as well. without the case its about 2 degrees less on average.
program?
The first screen is SystemPanel App - Task Manager and the second is a custom widget from the Elixir app
so... no one with a higher temp? :-D
p.s. no case on mine

Well i would assume that playing a game for 2 hours solid would definitely make the phone hot, given the phone is so thin it feels hotter than say a phone like the HTC HD2.
I play some games but not excessively, i played Brothers in Arms 2 and Lets Golf today about 20 mins each game and the phone didn't feel particulary hot afterwards,in fact since ive had it (around 2 weeks) it hasn't felt particulay hot.
Overheating? Drag racing? Don't drive so fast
Seriously tho, I was under the impression the phone is meant to run quite hot? Not sure exactly how high it goes before shutting down tho...
Delivered by the paperboy, on time, every time...
Its the Software problem. ICS problem only not GB!! t

Which android software you are using? I think its ICS problem. Same problem with my Sony Xperia S.
It was getting hot while playing games. My android tablet on ICS have the same problem but I play same game on
Samsung galaxy S 1 it was GB. It never got hot. 7 to 8 hours. It was never hot. You should use GB for games. Its my
Personal analysis. Hope its true.
its hot man ..... i got i got from a guy on the street and the cops are still looking for it ... i think it's super hot
now moving to on topic :
- the phone heats up a lot , not just the back even the screen . I noticed that it really depends on the game i play. for example if i play "granny smith" or anything similar the heat is ok . If i fire up Batman or other similar games that use grapghics a lot then i have to leave it a few minutes before i can make a call .. cos it feels really hot
i had this problem from the first day . But , i guess it is no problem that it heats up . Other phones do not heat .. it's true but such hardware it's expected to heat up this much
Try KH3 modem. It made my overheating problems go away!

Try flash a rom and then you can boil an egg with it...:laugh:
This happens to me too. Especially on cm10 so the cpu is doing a lot of the graphical rendering thanks to no butter at the moment. Hottest mine got to is 48° after playing World of Goo for an hour. Other than that I've only noticed increased temperatures wge, I go a bit flash mad and flash different things one after another.

I find it's a kernel issue...
when I have a good kernel that works well with the rom I'm running - then it doesn't heat up too much... occasionally it'll get warmish
Use your cheeks (on your face :meh: to test) -=or=- weird as it sounds your lips!! Don't use the back of your fingers, it'll feel warm no matter what!!
I've come close a couple of times to core melt down & had to pull the battery to remedy the situation...
A lot of things can cause this:
- Heavy games
- Bad mobile signal
- Heavy usage of browser
- Charging
Nothing to do with GB or ICS, the problem was the same with both.
Yes, it's the hottest phone I had in many ways.
Didn't you asked for that?
Didn't fry yet... and I doubt it will but it's sometimes uncomfortable.

Bettery Temp (Wifi Tether + Charging)

Hey All,
So this summer I'm traveling a lot and will need to work from the road (thanks for driving fiance!). To do this, I have my laptop connected to my Epic's wifi tether for hours and hours at a time. To keep my phone from draining, I'm keeping it plugged in to the car charger.
This raises a couple concerns that I hope you guys can comment on.
1. Having something like wifi tether draining my phone while at the same time charging for long periods of time seems like it's going to kick my batteries ass (regardless of temp). I'm somewhat concerned this will kill the lifespan of my Epic's battery (as it's my understanding they aren't supposed to be drained/charged in this way). My laptop battery experienced a premature death from this; leaving it plugged in overnight while downloading too many times (should have popped the battery out). Of course heat could have been the culprit in that case...
2. What's the max temp I should have my phone running over long periods of time. I know heat kills batteries faster than anything...right now after an hour or so of charging/wifi tether I'm holding at 44c.
Thanks for the info guys. I might end up using usb tether if the above are cause for concern.
Im also wondering this. My car has no a/c and when my phone is overclocked and playing music it gets pretty hot. And when I tether/charge it can get to 45c. Sometimes when I tether for long periods I put my phone on an ice pack wrapped in a cloth. It drops it to low/mid 30c.

One of the great things about the Galaxy S phone is the interchangeable battery. You could replace your battery when it seems worn, or you could buy a cheap battery and put it in when you're going to be tethering.
Just keeping my phone open seemed to make a huge difference while doing this. (Which makes sense, since you're basically doubling the surface area exposed.)
Made it go from rebooting-hot to barely hotter than moderate usage.

Combine this with a removed battery cover and you should be solid.

Have you tried PDAnet? Wired tether keeps your phone a lot cooler and it consumes less battery and actually charges your phone from your laptop
There's a USB Tether as well. I don't remember the name, but you can probably look it up. There are free versions so you wouldn't have to pay for PDAnet.
The issue with a USB tether is that you don't get the current that you normally would if you were plugged into the wall, or your car, which means you may not get enough power.
Some chargers don't work correctly, so the phone still thinks you're plugged into your computer and it doesn't draw as much current. The way you can tell is if you plug your charger in, and it asks you what you want to do, it won't draw as much current, and it will take much longer to charge.
I know what you are saying op, as for me I keep my epic on a "a/c vent mount" to keep the temp down while on the road.

Samsung Galaxy S II melted

RMA the whole shebang, a molten phone is unacceptable.
There must be something wrong.
I've tried using graphic intense games and benchmark programs, and charge my battery often, just to try to get it hot.
It gets warm, so you can feel it, but never more than that.
I run Lite'ning rom 4.2 with Black theme, Android 2.3.4 and KG3 .
so is possible that the warranty not accept my phone?

Did you overclock?
I'm stock and have lots of apps installed and never had a problem with overheating. I downloaded a news app and ten minutes later my phone got hotter than it's ever been before. I removed the app and it's been fine since. Certain apps appear either not to play well with GB or Exynos and have the potential to overheat the phone.
I've never really seen any app or HD game that puts MORE heat than angry birds, infact for a dualcore it runs insanely cool.. I've tried upping the GPU from 267Mhz to 400Mhz and I still dont feel anything that runs warmer.

I'm curious as to what app that was..
First of all duel core is soppose to be cooler the single cores and also use less power then single core so the hole point to the duel core thing is more speed and less battery power and less temp.
If ur melt was caused after u rooted it or/and u used a custom rom u need to put back a stock rom or ur warrenty will be invalid.
oh my word! Defective battery?
It could be a defective battery, which led to an overloaded pin (which got very hot) in the phone. I would return both phone with battery and charger, to get all checked.
The heat required to melt the plastic (about 150-200 degrees celcius) is able to melt any solderings on the mainboards inside the phone, so it should be checked. But probably no harm done, as the backside sits above the mainboard, and the mainboard is attached to the frontframe (screen side) of the phone. I would request a checkup, and a new backplate, if it was me - which is a small repair, in less than 10 minutes...

Not really heat wise, but I can tell you that Grand Prix Story drains battery like a gold digger who just met Bill Gates. Playing the game continuously gives me 2, yes 2 hours of battery life! 100% to 5% in 2 hours!
Which is sad because Kairosoft is one of my favourite game developers.

Nexus 7 overheating when playing 3d games

Am I the only one having this issue? I'm not really much of a gamer, but I noticed playing zen bound 2 that it started to get really hot and Trinity kernel toolbox have me a temp alert. Eventually the thing just either reboots or freezes playing any game with decent graphics. Normally I have my nexus at 1.7 w/on demand governor but it still does the same thing at 1.2 GHz. I tried the omega kernel to see if that was an issue but still had the same result. I'm pretty sure this didn't happen until I updated to 4.2.2 but maybe I just didn't notice because as I said, I'm not much of a gamer.
Any suggestions? Am I the only one? It stays at normal temperatures otherwise.

No, I would say that's pretty normal.
Seriously? Interesting. Well, I have plenty of other things to play games on. Oh well.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Well think about it, it's not like the N7 has fans inside it pumping air. It's only a tablet. Extensive or graphic heavy gaming on any tablet will cause it to overheat.
Mine once overheated so much playing NFS that the glass actually separated from the bezel a little bit. The adhesive holding it down pretty much melted. I had to reheat it, clamp it down, and kinda melt it back into place.
No that's not normal. I've played games such as dead trigger, NFS most wanted, shadow gun deadzone, for literally up to 3 hours straight and don't have overheating issues. Sure the tablet warms up a little bit, but has never actually gotten hot to the touch.
I use stock kernel, but I've also used faux, omega 3 and Trinity. Didn't overheat on any of them. I also don't overclock as it's never made a difference I could see on any game.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Mine gets super hot, just below too hot to touch occasionally. :l
Hmm I don't know why I'm having problems when you guys aren't then. I've tried it several times on 1.2 ghz (trinity and omega) but it still does it. It heats up the quickest playing zen bound it seems. What's the stock gpu clock? I just realized the GPU was set to 446 instead of 416 though, maybe that's the issue... Perhaps I'll try the faux kernel if it does it again. But basically after about 10-20 mins of zen bound it gets up to like 88 degrees or something (maybe hotter, I can't see the temp in game) and then freezes and shuts down.
Update: froze at stock gpu and cpu frequencies... Trying faux and then possibly another kernel. BTW this is with no case or anything.

No it isn't really normal. It usually may heat up a bit above room temperature. How hot would you say it is? I am a big gamer so I play games quite a lot on my nexus 7. I have updated to 4.2.2 as well but it doesn't heat up that much. I haven't really played massive games since I updated though. If it is burning hot it isn't right and could be a fault. Hope I helped.
It gets to 88 degrees, maybe more, and then freezes and/or shuts down.

Does it heat up if you run a benchmark?
If it's only Zen Bound than you know where the problem is but I would be surprised if that is where the problem is.
My advice would be to flash leankernel while you try to figure out the problem. Run it at defaults. Don't even open a cpu tweak program.
Are you running any kind of boot scripts/tweaks?

It may just be zen bound. I flashed the franco kernel and it didn't seem to have as many problems as far as overheating goes, but now it will just freeze at normal temperatures when doing something simple like web browsing. It did that twice today. However, I have Trinity Kernel Toolbox because it shows my cpu temp in the status bar. I'll uninstall that and try the lean kernel.
I forgot to add, no boot scripts or tweaks. It gets semi hot if I run a full benchmark in quadrant, but not anything serious. I've turned the gpu to 700 and cpu to 1700 before without any issues benchmarking in quadrant or geekbench.
It sounds pretty normal at 88 degrees and the whole reboot thing is a known fault, well I know that happens to my Nexus 7. To me it sounds like there is nothing to worry about. I did play zen bound and it was about 80-88 degrees.

I starting playing golfstar which works the phone pretty hard. At first I noticed how much better the frame rate was compared to my s4, after about 5mins the frame rate went to crap. I can only assume the phone was throttling due to heat. I never got any warnings though
I dont have this problem at all. Was running antutu benchmark two times in a row yesterday with 100% brightness without auto activated, AND charging, and it reached 36C. And its about 27C in this room.

ya i think im going to the s5 or the nexus 5, it keeps happening, so im done.
Are you only having a problem trying to do a benchmark at high brightness or are you having problems with regular use? I use Lux for autobrightness and it's bright enough for me and I have no issues with over heating.
Also, I wouldn't downgrade to the Nexus 5 if you're giving up on this phone. Not saying it's a bad phone, but it's comparatively a downgrade. A G2 would be a better downgrade than that or side grade to the S5 or M8 or whatever it is the HTC phone is called.

I'd first suggest you just use the phone and not worry about the benchmarks. Benchmarks are meant to push the system so that could be why you're having problems. With daily use, even with the screen as bright as you have it, you may not notice any other issue. Give it a chance first.
And from reviews I've read, it does sound like the M8 is the next best. I almost considered it, but it's about the same size as the G3 with a smaller screen. Fortunately, I'm loving my G3.

My phone shuts down when reading books on the beach in Turkey. I think the heat sensitiviness is one thing the latest patch should fix , I hope
Mine's never dimmed but it gets warm enough such that it starts throttling back to ~1.6 GHz. Definitely not hot though.
ya i was playing a game and it was def getting pretty hot

it was during the bench. But i did a battery pull and ran 3 straight benchmarks with no overheating issues. But then i did the no lag trick and tried again with it powering down
So the next best device is the m8 you say?

The no lag trick, is no real trick, it turns off stuff to keep your device save from overheating, so, that's why it turned off afterwards.
I've kept the stock setting and never had any shutdowns or noticed any performance problems at games or dim, it gets warm sometimes at long gaming, but that's it.

Have you tried factory reset from start up screen not settings?
i got a different phone, from a different batch, the phone gets hot still, but not too hot and its not shut down yet. so far so good. great phone
If you are returning a phone because it will shut down during a benchmark, then why did you get the phone in the first place?

You are not alone. Mine can get very hot when playing games (especially when charging), and I have to stop game to cool it down.
The situation gets worse when dual layer case installed. I have to remove the case to cool the phone down.

I am sure mine does "thermal throttling".
When the phone gets hot, Quadrant goes down to 12,xxx.
When the phone cools down, Quadrant goes back to normal (23,xxx).

sorry, your question does not make sense.
I bought the phone because it had nice specs. i returned the phone because it was apparently defective. My new LG G3 has not overheated to shut down. got a little hot but not bad
I'm still wondering how are NOW the LG G3 are this moment? do they still have overheated issue?
How is the camera in 4k recording? is that fixed?
