Its normal to get a little hot when using wifi or data. If its very hot check some applications that maybe pushing wifi/data transfer

Every smartphone will get hot cuz it just like a PC. Have you ever seen a PC running without getting hot? Another possible reason is related to the temperature of the environment.

Plus do you use it while charging?

it's normal
It's normal to get hot while using wifi, data and playing games. do check the temperature of battery using any temp app from play store. . Make sure it's not over 50ºC

Dont worry, generally speaking thats not a problem

Try to change to another ROM or Kernel.

Every piece of technology gets hot. Just turn it off till it cools down and youll be fine. Happens to me when I use Pandora.

If your phone has the power connector at the top it'll generally be near the antenna, which means data transfer along with charging will generally produce a lot of heat, but, really when transferring that amount of data various other parts of the phone will be used and heat up as well.
Long story short, so long as you don't get burned you'll be fine. Abnormal overheating means higher than normal battery drain though, after all you can't have heat without power, food for thought.

Change the kernel sometimes improves heating issues. Not always.

It's perfectly normal for your phone to get a little hot but not too hot, where you could fry an egg on it. My s3 gets hot when I'm using it while its on the charge. When I over clock it, it also heats up but nothing major.
And behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

Its normal it doesn't really matter on a galaxy anyway I've done learned there touch my smartphone shut down 3 times with a overheating symbol and I've had it for 3 yes now still works like new

The games tend to increase the temperature of the cell. Long hours also enabled screen.

When my galaxy s2 had heat issues, I took it back to the store and they have me a replacement. I'm assuming you don't have warranty or insurance.

My EVO 3D used to get hot until I rooted it and loaded ICS. It quadrupled my battery life too -- loading a new ROM can do wonders.

I have a galaxy s2 running 4.4 kitkat with Villuminati by dastin1015. Not stock, but sometimes, it just gets hot while plugged into a wall. Even after unplugging, it stays hot and drains battery life. It hasn't occurred recently, but just wondering if someone else has this.

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.

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.

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?

[Q] why does the samsung infuse overheat

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.

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.

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.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/06/samsung-galaxy-s4-octacore-review/
strangely enough engadget reports that the quad core snapdragon version gets better battery life :S
for some reason i have terrible screen on time, cant really get to 2.5 hrs.
iv noticed that apps has more battery than my screen..
ill upload some more pics after i deplete the battery tnite. like sometimes chrome's (50%)and even the battery manager(5%) takes a lot of usage.
leads me to think its a cpu problem it was overheating before i installed latest firmware from xxuamde to xxuamdl, im going to try xxuamdk i heard that one fixed issues....
thanks guys

Been using i9500 for few days now, cycle charged for a few times. I found that the battery life has improved significantly. Of course, made some adjustments to settings like, WiFi off when device is sleeping, off all sensors including GPS, battery safe mode with cpu speed limit..
Using the phone for reading mostly, a little candy crushing and phone calling...
Still waiting to see if it can do better than 5 hours screen on time...
p.s, the first day i used was having 3.5hours of screen on time from 100% to below 10%..
Weird without tweaking or touching anything from first charge I got 5hrs screen on time with a day uptime. I'm lucky I guess

Have to say battery life is a HUGE let down. I get about 11hrs out of it with about 4.5 hours screen on time. Only browsing the web, no video or music streaming.
I'm gonna sell it for the quad core Nexus version just announced.

I'm getting up to 24 hours usage - medium to light use. Almost 5 hours display on time. I know though that it will drop slightly lower if I do more intensive tasks with my phone. I'm satisfied with it. Plus, the fact that the charging time is just a little over 2 hours from 5% to 100%... I think its pretty amazing.

Hot to touch

Anyone else's getting hot to touch after bit of use? I took off my dot case after fifteen minutes of use and the back was almost too hot to touch. Even with the case off it never cooled down. I'll check my wife's phone to compare tonight.

This! I have the incipio dual pro case which is basically 2 cases in one and still doesn't get hot after 15+ minutes of straight dead trigger 2 gaming full graphics! While connected to 4g LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.
This is the first device I've used that does not get hot, I would exchange

Can install GSam battery monitor for free. Nice to see battery info in the drop down notification screen and will tell you how hot the battery is. People can have different "opinions" on the definition of hot but this way will give you an actual number. Under heavy use my device gets to 97 degree F. Believe that is the highest i've seen it get so far. Will try and play some dead trigger 2 for a solid 15min or so and check battery temp, that will get it high if anything else would!
I can say though coming from an HTC One X+ with overclocked Tegra 3 chip, that phone got up to 120 degrees F, that is freaking hot! Not a bunk device, just made with poor design as the Tegra 3 chip was never made for mobile devices, especially overclocked. Got in over my head with that device!
My silver model gets toasty with moderate use. My brothers grey is always ice cold though.

Well according to the battery monitor my phone was dropping voltage ridiculously high so I'm going to install a battery monitor and keep an eye on it and see if I can duplicate the problem I'm still not sure what it was but I do know that I was in an area that should have had 4G in the highest setting I got was 3G not sure if that causes an issue or not but it's something I'll keep an eye out

I can tell my phone will get slightly warm after some use but nothing crazy.
I have the grey model and it definitely gets warm after some heavy use. I was slightly disappointed by this because I remember reviews said it would never get even remotely warm. Its about on par with how warm my M7 got. I definitely wouldn't say it gets too hot to the point where I couldn't keep it in my hand for an extended period of time though.
I know I said that mine stays cool. With heavy use like gaming while charging, it gets a little warm, however no where near the level the lumia icon got. I'd have to put that brick down every 10 min or so and let it cool because it got to hot to touch.
