I think my phone is overheating...

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.

Get a temperature app to see how hot it's getting.

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?

Infuse temperature issues?

I'm trying to figure out if this is a normail issue with all these phones or if I received a defective unit. If I use my infuse for no more than 5 minutes on the charger the battery gets really hot and is at 49° right now up from 30°ish. Same thing with using the HDMI addapter. Used it twice to watch Simpson's for an hour the phone was scalding hot at 57° after about an hour. I've had other android devices and none came as close to this. Is there a risk here? Anyone else have this problem?

I noticed that when its plugged in and use it at the same time it gets hot. Never really checked the temperature.
but when its unplugged not once has it gotten hot.

Quite possibly a bad battery. Your battery shouldn't drain when the phone is off.

Does it drain when the battery is removed from the phone?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

you should download a cm7 nightly my battery lasted from 10pm - 9am with 30% than i put it to charge

You can either do a factory reset or NVFlash CWM and flash a ROM to see if that fixes things. If not, then defective battery.

What these guys are saying is most likely, especially with that kind of drain. But also make sure you don't have any crummy apps, it apps that run when your phones off. Ex. Some weather apps run in the background and draindrain

You guys. He said that his phone was OFF while the battery lost its juice. It has NOTHING to do with what ROM, KERNEL etc etc he is using. Now for the op; simply just get a new battery and check if the problem persists.

Haha, yea. Read to fast, selective reader I guess. Thought I saw 'screen off' =)

Try the same test with the battery completely removed.
If it doesn't drain that fast - Then the phone is not shutting down properly, and most likely is the result of a nasty app.
If it does still drain that fast - Then the battery is probably faulty.

In your original post when you said you turn the phone off at night, you do mean actually turning it off right? Like shutting it down and not just turning the screen off, right? Just making sure we're all on the same page. If the phone is powered down then it can't be an app because apps can only run when you're booted into Android.

I would try to eliminate apps one by one. Freezing them with titanium backup or using better battery stats to see which apps have a lot of wakelocks. I had the same issue before.

Then its the battery. I had the problem with my g1. I would load the maps and use gps. It would say my battery is around 70% then after like 5mins the phone would get hot and then it would say i was at 30% or lower. Swap out for a new battery and it didnt do that anymore.
My g2x is kinda doing the same thing. But its a little slower. I turn the phone on in the morning 100% battery. Then use it for about an hr. (95-80%battery) put it in my pocket. Then about 2hrs later it at 40-35%. And the phone feels warm.
Also check your battery to see if it had a lump on it. If so then its a bad battery and needs to be replaced asap.
I ordered a replacement on ebay should be here by next weekend. Only $4

I don't think its the battery in this case.

I had a problem like this and still do at times. Part of it was the stock kernel I was running and the other part was the fact that the phone was not fully going into the low power state it was supposed to. I now only loose about 5 to 7% in the worst cases. That is better than the 20 to 30% I was loosing before.

My s3 was on fire!!!!

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?

clean rom 3.0, no overclock of any kind, no fastcharge

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.

On data it gets heated up to 40c highest is around 41c..
Gaming =?? I do less gaming so I can't tell..

Mine is 26 to around 38 celsius. ( It's A bit cold here. So it goes that low over the night)
No gaming. Just regular usage and alot of photoshop.
Running on mokee. It's own kernel.

Even the room temp is hawt here..rarely rain this few days.. So how about on data? For me data was like an oven.. Though it still depending on surrounding..

Ever got soft boot bcause of over heatin? I haven't push my phone to that limit b4.. usually if my phone hits 40c + imma put it somewhere cool like on a mosaic floor(sometimes it decrease 1-2c) or stop using it for a while..
I see something about thermal throttle in franco kernel.. How does it work? Is it possible to apply on jbx?

surely we should be able to apply.. but right now, we (dtrail actually) are trying to get the kernel stable and get the compile warnings reduced.. and maybe get ourselves a newer kernel.. then we will start trying to add more options..

Actually mine went upto 52 degree celsius one day. I don't remember which ROM I was running.
I was watching a movie on YouTube continuously for like 2 hours while connected to the charger.
Then I noticed it, quickly removed the charger, cooled it up under a fan. I was like ooh dude my phone is hot!

Nope, no reboot. I noticed it was super hot to the touch, and went to trickster and looked at the temp, and immediately stopped playing. I also was wondering 'how hot is hot' myself, wondering if this was normal. My otterbox probably doesn't help much with cooling though

Hot Hot!
Usually the temperature of my phone is around 26-30C. But as soon as I start browsing or use any internet based app (like Facebook) with 3G, Bam! Temperature of the phone shoots beyond 42C.. I hardly takes 5 mins to move from 30C to 42C.
So I was just wondering if it's normal or something can be done to keep a check of temperature.
I'm using JB Leak 1:rooted in System 1 and Mokee 4.4.2 in System 3.
