When I use the phone to play a game or web browse it starts to get really hot on the top half of the screen.

Is there anyway that I can to see if the phone is overheating/getting too hot?

How hot is it getting? I'm pretty sure every smartphone experiences some kind of heat from gaming or streaming videos specially when you are charging it at the same time.

I mean just web browsing it is burning my hand. It only is the top half.

Any apps running in the background besides using the browser? Have you rebooted your device?

No and the phone does not get nearly as hot on wifi. Really odd. Also the phone was overcloaked before but I pushed it back to just 1ghz. My phone burning me for using the browder out is not cool though. Think there is an issue?

Well there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the device since you said you put it back to 1 ghz. Really odd if you ask me. Maybe its a battery problem? Sometimes defective batteries cause overheating and can explode.

It only gets hot when I use Japan too. Never on wifi. (Well it does a little playing games) I think I will call customer support tomorrow.

And it is not getting hot where the battery is.

I'd recommend you flash and reinstall the ROM on your phone. Sounds to me like you've still go some of the old performance updates kicking in making the device hotter!
For me your temperatures are pretty normal. When I am not gamimg my max was 91F!!

Since you claim to have been able to move around the CPU frequency, I assume you are running setCPU. In setCPU you can look at Info tab where under the battery header it also displays the battery tempt. It's normal for the phone to heat while you are charging, on call for long or gaming for long duration but if you are seeing absurdly high reading for the battery tempt, then you better have it checked.
Hmm I had a overheating issue last night, woke up to my phone making a loud noise - I had set setCPU to make a noise when it goes over 40C and it did this today in the early hours of the morning whilst it was charging.
No processes were running other than the normal Live Wallpaper, Keyboard etc.. The phone was quite hot to the touch as well, so I just turned it off.
Weird thing is I have another profile in setCPU to have the max freq at 800Mhz and lowest 100Mhz when the screen is off so don't know how it got so hot?
Hey guys I just got my nexus s and im wondering why my battery is charging so slowly. I started charging it while it was completely dead and it took almost 6 hours too completely finish charging. Is there something wrong?
Btw I just got the phone yesterday and this is my second charge.

Im using a wall charger given in the nexus s box
Right now I was using the USB cable Brut with an iPod USB to wall adapter. If that matters

Are you using the factory wall charger or? Are you charging with a wall charger or USB hooked to computer/car? I honestly do not notice this problem with the NS.

I was using an iPod wall adapter right now because i forgot mine at home..
Also I know this is offtopic but can someone tell me how to optimize the battery life on this phone? Idle why but I feel like the battery isn't that great on this phone

Mine took like 3hour 20min-ish for the first charge. 3hour-ish for the second and third.

If you have the Super Amoled version, then you can use an all black desktop screen saver, switch your email/Facebook/weather syncs to a later time (2-6 hours instead of every 30 minutes), put the phone in 2g only mode when your not browsing the web or downloading apps, etc.

What the hell does this got to do with a 6 hour charge time ? As if the display is on all the time... or as if the syncing uses 10%+ off battery. It has nothing to do with this stuff, you're just not on the same page as the problem.
Try again with the original charger plugged into the wall socket, not into USB.

Why don't you read before you post tough guy? You sound real stupid. The OP asked an off topic question about how he can gain better battery life. "Hooked on Phonics" anyone?

Oh, I get it. Sorry, my bad.
I realised my Nexus S does take some time to charge up fully as compared to my Incredible S though.
Charger's rating is diff though after observing. 1A against 0.7mA

Mine takes about 3hr 20mins(+ or - 10 mins) usually. I guess that's pretty normal?

Why mybye because video or gps help
Why
1. Over clocking
2. Streaming on 3/4 G for a long time
3. Continued GPS (using GPS for like 30 mins still didn't heat my phone though)
4. Charging phone when it is in a covered place and not in open
My phone over heats if I have the brightness to 100% while charging but it turns down by it self and warns me about it

thanks but why had to get a new phone and battery
Do you have a case? If so, which one? I bought one off of a kiosk in the mall, and I guess my phone wasn't breathing well with it and kept heating up. Took it out and used a different one and is fine. Unless if I do some heavy gaming.
Also when I was using the gps while charging in my car, started to heat up.

charging in car, be it in use or not seems to warm up the phone.
My phone gets warm when charging and when I had setCPU configured all wrong. Caused a shutdown and startup loop while it was trying to start and cool down lol

I went to bed normal. Plugged in my s3 into the charger . My battery was like at 4%. I leave the phone on because I use it as an alarm clock. I woke up at 6am and NY phone is really really hot I have no idea why? Why would this be? So I turn it off and let it cool down. Mean the screen was off and everything. Could my charger be bad or? It was so hot you couldn't touch the screen for long.

well do you have a custom rom on it does it have fast charge is it on? kernel? oc? voltage tweak?

We're going to need more info then that I am afraid to figure out what happened (if we can at all )
You flashed Clean Rom... did you
Use a custom kernel?
Flash the new firmware for the new update?
Flash the new radio for the update?
Any other things you flashed with the rom?
Any apps that have root permission?
I don't think it could be a bad charger .... key words don't think...
If it's not software related and it happens again it could be a bad cell in the battery perhaps and it's still trying to charge to capacity .... the more info you give us the more we can try and trouble shoot it.
Thank You for messaging XDA Anonamooose Tech support .....LOL
Anyone else have some insight?
Actually this happened before on my gnex . Thought the battery was bad but it can't be this battery also. What's weird was it charged it to 15% instead of 100% its like all the power after 15% was just heating it up instead of charging? Or could the battery be bad because I. Plugged it in again and it charged 33% in like 55minutes a 4400mah anker battery

Taking a hot expanded object and exposing it to quick contraction is how you pop solders and crack circuit boards.Exposing to sudden heat is not as bad as sudden cold. Plastic shrinks at a different rate then metal, and so on.
You got lucky.
I have the chinese variant of the standard battery and it's not nearly as good.

Howdy,
I have a s2 running 4.2.2 slimmed down CM. I have a wake clock app running and it doesn't pick up anything odd. The CPU clock says it never slept though.
Thus is a new phone to me. Thanks for your input.

Use betterybatterystats to find out what the wake lock is.

Then you definitely have some WakeLock issues. I'd follow JD's advice and run Better Battery Stats and refer to the WakeLock thread by Bender for how to resolve them.
Make sure your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are off if you're not using them.

It should sleep like a baby if you're set up right, even with wifi and bt on.
The problem was that the charging wake clock kept it awake the whole day. I'm not sure what the deal was but I restarted the phone and it went away. I'm also having charging issues so it could be hardware. I ordered a new charging port/daughter board for it and I'm going to put it in this week. I'll let you know how it turns out

Curious to see how it turns out. I get the vbus wake lock often too, even with the Samsung charger. I'm thinking my usb port is having issues.
Restart your phone after every charge. Yes, the media scanner will run briefly but it's better than your phone not sleeping for hours before you notice the wake lock.

Well I installed the other charging port daughter board and the mic stopped working. So I never got to test to see if the charging wake clock was a hardware problem. Sorry. On a side note I have a charging port daughter board for a i727 that is basically brand new and only installed once for sale
