Mine arrives tomorrow....I hope not.
Just got mine a few hours ago, and haven't run into this issue. Definitely got really hot while it was downloading and installing apps, but that's to be expected.
Got pretty hot while downloading all my apps, but no boot loop that's for sure

Mine is overheating

you are having this????
No I had this on my first attix...when batteries get hot they do not work efficiently and you tend to get worse battery life. If you aren't experiencing bad battery life then you shouldn't have to worry too much

i have not all super battery as other i see its kind like my nexus 1 but today i was using drop 50% in a little more than 2 hours
Well you just have been doing a hell of a lot to have it drop that fast.
When using my phones, the only thime tthe battery/phone gets really hot is when I'm doing a lot while charging the battery; other than that the phone stays pretty cool.

You may have a bad battery or phone. I'm getting amazing battery life from my new atrix, old one got really hot (battery over 100 degrees Fahrenheit) and this lead to miserable battery life
I was playing Angry Birds Rio the other day and noticed my phone got pretty dang hot after 20-30 minutes of playing. I had to stop because I didn't want it overheating. I'll have to play the game again and see if it does it again and see if I may have a defective unit.

@ Zen and Mustang
It sounds like you guys might have defective units; back when I had the Atrix my phone hardly ever got hot, practically never and I did a hell of a lot on my phone.

It should stay under 40°C

Hi all does anybody have the problem of putting the 300 on sleep and picking it up a little while later only to find its all the way off?
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2
i have had this a few times but not sure whats causing it so im gonna try a few things to see whats up, what setup do you have, im on CROMi-X with hunds kernel v10
Yeah, I get this if I don't flash a rom for a few weeks. In other words, cleaning out the cache can help.

I had this problem on my tf300t. I am running kitkat omnirom and cm11. I can run either.
The sleep of death was 100% caused by a faulty sd card. Not sure if it was file(s) or the card. Fixed the problem in both Omni and CM.
Backup your card to your computer.
Erase/Format it using the system you are on.
Verify that the SOD problem is gone.
That has happened several times to me too. Completely stock. Formatted about 3 weeks ago. Has not done it until just now. went to check it and it won't come on. Have to wait til I get home and put it on the charger. I just charged it last night. Maybe I didn't connect it right. Well update when I know for sure.

Did you try to hold the power button down for more than 10 secs, then release it? But time it, seems awfully long...
So far that always fixed it for me.

Ouch. $92 that's abit expensive. Perhaps you should had consider to topup abit more to get a new Memo FHD 16GB. It is about $250 at amazon.
I just got an email from Asus. I wil not pay $200 to repair an out of warranty tablet, when I can buy the exact same model from Frys for the same amount. They said the motherboard needs to be replaced. It took them one full week and 3 phone calls to get this quote in the first place. They told me that it was diagnosed on Feb 14.
I seriously doubt I will buy anything from Asus again. I was told that it would cost $92 to fix it. I will not spend that kind of money on an item that could break the minute I get it back as they do not even warranty their own repairs. This tablet was nice while I had it, but it was not the greatest either.
I just got a gs4 and am coming from the gs3. Does this phone run hot normally? Seemed warm on stock and hotter once I tried to install the freegs4 ROM. Even shut down twice.
Edit: flashed a different ROM and kernel and am all good.

Yeah I noticed when flashing certain Roms and setting it up, it gets very hot that it shuts itself off.

Not true on my part. I've flashed stock deodexed MF9 rom with Stock MF9, Agats, and Ktoonz kernel. All resulted in the phone heating up and shutting down on its own.

So I have tried 4 different ROMs and 3 different kernels and the heat issue keeps happening. Right now I was using the latest Venum ROM and the ktoonz kernel and the phone shut off due to the heat. Stupid phone, I just got it on Sunday. Never had this issue on my epic or e4gt or gs3.

The only kernel adjustments were to the governor and scheduler (using smartass and sio, no alterations to either). I just tried using the rescan media disabler apk to see if maybe my media was causing the phone to run hot. It seemed to be the only thing going in the background.

Usually the heat starts when I am using the phone, which is usually browsing the internet or reading up on sports news. Screen off or charging I have been OK so far. As far as the battery, it appears to be in good physical condition. I also have 2 OEM batteries by Anker that experience the same issue. So far so good, though - been using the phone moderately since the last shut down earlier today and it seems ok at this moment.

if it heats up really bad again try underclocking a step and see if that helps.....phone might be getting hot because your chip is poorly coated and the higher frequiencies are heating it up enough to shut the device down. you may have to underclock by one or 2 steps to ensure its not a consistent issue.....worth a shot anyways. unless you do high graphic gaming and multitask with 8 apps at once your really dont need the higher clock speeds anyways.

Good idea, hopefully I won't need to! Appreciate the feedback.
If you just got this phone Friday then I would return to stock, run triangle away and exchange it. What you describe isn't normal, why take a chance and get stuck with a bad phone when you are within the exchange window.

Try the stock kernel and rom and if it still get hot take it back. Try stock kernel it works man the others just cause me trouble.

Thanks all. I loaded up the latest Sac ROM and ktoonz kernwl, but disabled media scanner. No more hot issues. I guess it running like crazy in the background caused the battery to commit suicide.

Seriously guys, your S4 doesn't heat up at all???
I'm back to 100% stock everything (kernel, rom) and running this for a couple weeks. I've completed several factory resets and whatnot as well through those weeks. I know my install was clean as could be.
Now, my phone gets hot at seemingly random times. sometimes playing games, for sure while navigating with GPS and sometimes when its just sitting there. I monitor things with Better Battery Stats and keep an eye on the CPU Spy. I'm achieving deep sleep most often. Some of this is caused by the god awful Sprint service here and the constant search for signal, but I was hoping that this wouldn't get as hot as the S3.
so, should I seek a refurb from Sprint? I have the insurance. I am just afraid that a refurb would do me no better.
My biggest gripes are heating up occasionally, WiFi disconnect issues. I hope 4.3 can help some of these.
Battery heats up during charging. Is this normal or do I have bad battery?
I've honestly thought to myself this phone stays cooler than my previous 2. It was something that stood out to me within the first few days of owning it.

I agree. My only problem is when it is charging. It's quite hot compared when I am using the phone.

I am hoping battery life regulates. I have had phone on charger all day. I am getting about 15% battery drain in 30minutes, sitting idle.
I have already factory reset my device, and will contact Tmo/Samsung this evening to see if there are known issues and what i can do help.

So after a few days, of using phone as usual, it has regualted itself back to normal.
Not sure what was hogging the battery for a couple days. But all is good now.
Now, i did the same update for my wife 2 days ago, and she had no issues.
So, maybe i caught a bad install.
