I can't see your phone so I don't know what is exactly going on, but if you type into Google any smartphone name and word "overheating" you will see dozens of threads and articles. People are just overreacting, smartphones are getting warm it's just their nature, plenty of processing power etc. If yours is getting too hot maybe it's some app working in background.
My phone gets very hot on top of screen, near speaker

My phone is also overheating very quickly now. It started after i rooted the phone and installed some root apps like greenify and clean master. I have now disabled those apps to see if it helps.
Anyhow, it's not a big deal. It won't burn up so what is all the fuss about?
I have the same thing, the same spot as you mention. On samsung stock rom its really worse!, but on cm its decent. however, my pone always turns off when testing antutu at stock max cpu speed...
I can only go to 1674mhz. any higher and it will instant shutdown on antutu
hi, i'm from singapore
and im using the i9505 variant of the S4 and i'm having the same issue about the heat on the top half of the phone
it heats up so bad i cant touch the top half of the phone at all
Is this caused by the 4.2.2 update like what everyone says?
My view/experience with i9505 on (over)heating. I direct this at Samsung ...
Dear Samsung,
Please can you move the WiFi Power Save Mode Toggle from the Service Menu and place it in the standard Settings Menus. Also make this setting persistent between boots.
On certain AP hardware and/or configurations, the Power Save Mode does no saving at all, in fact in my experience it just causes a huge mess. The culprit is spotty/erratic WiFi connectivity which causes all the background sync/update tasks to go in retry loop heaven (with wakelocks galore). These background tasks in retry loops hammer the processor continuously such that it start heating up (& draining more battery than normal).
So please implement this small change so that it can save many a lot of headaches.
Thanks.

Heating is a big deal for me. S4 is a lot more hotter then my former S3, and not because of the CPU. For me it's because of the modem. Root might be related also (I had my doubts on this) ... some apps keeping the 3G up more then needed, but I don't want to speculate more ...
PS: there are others "overheating" posts , a lot of them.
Same issue here (thread here), my brother has the same model and we tryed use same apps on both S4's, his S4 does not heat but mine does. so something wrong with my S4
i think the rom is causing all the overheating issue.
when i used stock, it would heat up that i can't touch it
now using phoenix rom 2.0 for 9500, and only get a slight warmth
My first smart phone was an Galaxy S2, and it got hot, i had two replacements they were the same, i then realized smart phones with powerful cpu/gpu`s just get hot when they work hard, i had had a few smartphones since the S2 from a few different manufactures and they all get hot, now i have an htc one, and it gets hot so it`s totally normal.
what i have realized with android is that you can get a faulty app or system process that really kills the cpu/gpu for no reason and they need to be shutdown/killed.
So i started using an app called watchdog, just change the settings to monitor system processes as well.

my friend is using i9505 as well and his doesnt heat up like mine does
when i bring it over to Samsung, they said 'its normal'
and they said nothing can be done about it
My phone was overheating as well, and I found out the culprit was media server. It got confused with some old thumbnails I had on my old SD card (from my galaxy S3), I had thousands of pictures there, so I guess it was constantly scanning it.
So delete all the thumbnails, (there's a folder .thumbnails in DCIM I believe) or even better yet, if you can, format your external SD card, and copy the files you need on it again. then mediaserver will work hard one more time and that's it.
Alternatively, you can download Rescan Media ROOT, and disable the media scanner, and enable it when you need it (but that's not desirable for me, I'm always updating my media, so I prefer it being automatic, depends on you usage)

The S4 does heat up quite often, what version you using? I would recommend to use KT kernel to underclock and undervolt so it doesn't heat up as much
Ow i like the heating part on my SG4 its really helpfull if ill ever go to Antarctic

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.

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 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.

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!
Hi,
I got my S4 around 2 weeks ago, everything works fine, but it just heated up abit too quickly & sometimes you couldn't even touch the phone, so i asked Samsung about this problem, they replaced my phone but it kept and happening. So i decided to do some research, i didn't really find anything on the internet, im not a hardcore developer but i know my way around things
After doing some testing to see why it heats up & where, i figured out it was the RAM & CPU. I have around 300 apps installed, that's included system apps too, so 300-130= 170 user apps. So i flashed the latest ROM i could find because i thought it might have been a bug or something, it got abit better but still got really hot .So i decided to root & delete all the bloatware & apps i didn't need, after i did this i found a script on the forums to do this automatically, its not hard to find. It wouldn't heat up as quickly but would still get really hot. So then i decided to go to the extreme & disable all the fancy features the S4 has like Smart View, Air View etc. You know what, my phone hardly heats up really hot!
I also put it into power saving mode, it hardly has no affect on perfomance but my battery can last a day but still be on 40%.
So yes, if your S4 is over heating you have to disable all the features you bought the phone for, c'mon Samsung

I think it only effects around 15% of S4 owners, it effects both I9505 & I9500
& lol, changed it to 170 haha
i used I9500 Octa version and no overheating at all :good:
Here's what NotebookCheck DE found. If your i9505 is performing differently I'd guess something's amiss.
Temperature
All this raw power squeezed inside the Galaxy S4 has to produce a lot of waste heat. Luckily, Samsung's engineers have managed to keep the Galaxy S4 cooler than the Galaxy S III. Despite all performance improvements, we never measured more than 42.5 degrees Celsius (108.5 degrees Fahrenheit), a value only achieved after hours of stress tests under full load. This maximum temperature, which occurs next to the ear speaker on the front, is actually 4 degrees less than what we measured for the Galaxy S III. It is only while idle that the increased excess heat becomes noticeable: In this case, the entire surface of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is a few degrees warmer than that of its predecessor.
Heat generation is still very much acceptable, even though the HTC One feels cooler to the touch thanks to its metal case. The hottest device was the Nokia Lumia 920 with up to more than 50 degrees (122 degrees Fahrenheit) under full load, much more than what the Galaxy S4 reaches. Fortunately, the small power adapter remains rather cool as well while charging the phone.http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-GT-I9505-Smartphone.92829.0.html

I encounter heating issue before too.
This can be sys process hang or some malfunction applications.
I check system setting -> battery usage, identify possible malfunction application which consumes much power,
kill it in application manager will solve it until next reboot..
For system process causing issue, can't do much but reboot. so a good Rom really helps..
I guess underclocking the processor will do the job but it will slow down the device. Describe the overheating, there are some apps that show how much your battery gets heated, if you can show some stats. I noticed my phone gets really hot after I put a glass screen protector but it's bearable.

Your phone might be heating on the back side below the LED flash right? Here is what I do. Whenever you want to play any games or sort of just remove the backpannel and play. And moreover our phone has the so called OCTA-CORE processor so its common for the device to heat. Do not underclock your phone.Just remember to remove the cover of your phone especially if it is the silicon one. All the best.
It can be multiple things.
- A faulty battery
- Your external sd card (try removing it)
- An app that is constantly using your cpu.
What is overheating? My phone gets hot sometimes, but not like really really hot.
Hi,
Overheating comes from intense CPU use. When you're using 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and such, it's common to overheat. One thing I always recommend to the Snapdragon variant is leaving autodiscovery to GSM/WCDMA only, because when searching for LTE antennas, it'll overheat.
To reduce the heating you can turn off the above, turn off sync, turn off the sensors and leaving the brightness to the minimum. But keep in mind, that playing for some time will still overheat it.

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

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.

My old G3 used to sit at 50 degrees idle!, 30 and 40 degrees is cool!!!!!!
Just do a Factory Reset (hard reset)
First backup everything & Google for detail instructions on hard reset.

Sure that makes all the difference ? I read a lot of posts from people saying that a factory reset didnt really solve their problems. Do you know for sure it will help ?
