I have that problem since i got this tsablet.
On stock ics,stock jb,cm10,cm10.1,all 4.x roms.
It happens when the tab is charging,and in weak use(did it only once),and generally when it is in use(very warm on top left of the tab).I manage to cool it down by using an laptop cooling dock,but it shouldnt be normal that it overheats,should it?
Thank you.
Me too...
Just same tab and it is always over +30 C° temperature and my tab isnt even 3 months old. And when i play it gets to 33-36. Even now writing this this feels warm. Try battery stats+ and check your temperature and compare to cloud. Its prettyweird what twmperatures others have. I have.too looked for solution and i hope someone helps us.
I have no problem at all with the temperature of my tablet. It's never overheated (except when I play games for a while) but then again, I do watch my apps. What could help is checking which apps start at boot. If you have to many apps starting at boot, it could cause your tablet to overheat due the programs running in the background.

I remove soo many apps every time I install a rom, and it kept heating up.
Other samsung device users report the same problem, and they conclude it is the software bug.
Galaxy s2 has a fix for that, but no fix for p5110 :/
I cant put my tab in a protective case because of this problem.Gonna wait for official 4.2(until september), it will probably feature the fix for this problem.

i set up my device with everything , set up application make installations , played with wifi and installed games tried games with no interuption,
and i noticed as i was playing a game after an hour or so that the device was getting crazy hot ...
i removed backplate and touched the metal where the sim card was in ... even hotter !!!
is it the same for you ? does it really get that hot ???
(i noticed that and i brought the phone back, couse when it was hot i get foce close and sound was gone, had to wait to cool down or restart the phone to get sound back. so i hope my second phone will arrive today)
Mine gets really hot at times too, I noticed it the other day when chatting on Facebook.
Someone else mentioned that it was due to the app constantly trying to update itself, but I've now installed a temperature app so I can get some details and actually ask HTC direct about it, although it's looking like this phone will have to go back at some point...
-Just so I can keep a record, it's been idling all morning bar an email or two and it's at 26.5 degrees at the moment. Nice and cool.
you will bring the phone back to get a new one too??
I haven't sent it back yet, but then that's because it's only happened once and I want to try to get some details to present to HTC so I can get their word on it.
i askted htc on it ...
they just say .... we understand that youre disappointed ... try these solutions to get rid of the problems you have. 1. make a soft reset 2. meke a hardreset !!
if this doesnt help send the phone back to us to get a new one
thats it
Don't worry about it, it's exactly the same for the Galaxy SII. These dual core CPUs are designed to run hot, they have to be with the limited space available and almost nothing in the way of heat dissipation. The Galaxy SII shuts itself off as a safety measure if it thinks it will be damaged by the heat (never happened to me though) and I'm sure the Sensation has a similar safety mechanism.
So i've started to really start using my tab 2 and i have started realizing that the performance leaves a lot to be desired. Specifically I'm having an issue where the screen will turn black for a second or two while playing a game. I've also noticed that some games will pause for no reason. These games include shadowgun, elemental, and tower defense. It's kind of irritating. I'll get an occasional freeze followed by a crash.
Any ideas? The processor isn't a power house but it can't be THAT bad. I can't wait to be able to overclock this thing..
I have seen this happen to my Galaxy Tab 2 (7) every once in a while. What I have noticed using the app "Watchdog" is that there is a system process (I am at work so cannot access/remember it) that every once in a while chews up 40-60% of the processors juice(Could be a TouchWiz process... i wouldn't know) ... This thing should fly once we have it rooted and once we have our devs clean it up and get some cleaner roms out
Hang in there mate... Good times are about to come

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I've discovered it happens during when I'm watching movies from my sd card as well. The screen goes blank, and you see the "busy" swirling circle thing that means its "busy" and then the movie comes back. It's not as irritating as the pausing during a game because the movie just continues where it left off.
Can't wait for a touchwiz free version..
Custom Roms would come a lot quicker if we had a section on here for Tab 2 7.0's Any mods out there wanna help with that?
i do have the same problem when dealing with draw something...it lags for a while at first, but it just runs smoothly after...just bear to wair for 5-10 seconds in front
i found lot of apps which has a compability issue
i guess the chipset dual core ti omap was a new chip
so it get lot of lagging freezzing and also tilt compability with the old apps games
So I've had my Note Edge for a while now, I've noticed lately that it gets pretty damn hot. When I'm browsing, when I'm going through emails, no games and such. cpu-z shows 65 degrees Celsius (not battery temperature, top first sensor), anyway I don't think it's normal, the Phone is uncomfortable to hold.
Now, I haven't been so nice to my phone. I have flashed a bunch of firmwares / ROMs KitKat Lollipops, you name it. I 've done a full wipe before every flash, but could it be I f'd up my phone through flashing?
Best case scenario it's a Lollipop issue that I'm going to fix today by flashing Mickey's Kitkat Rom. If it doesn't work it's back to Sammy for my Edge. Any help or experience would be much appreciated..
I'm no newbie, Factory resets, rogue apps and stuff, tried everything...
thanx in advance...

+1+1
Same overheating issue.
And Battery drain.
And lollipop Camera's quality is a little bit badly than kitkat.
I also tried every way but not fix.
So I reverted to kitkat. It is perfect.
Have the note edge for 1 week and been having to troubleshoot things (fully stock) ever since.
I've had it where mine turns incredibly hot as well even doing mundane things (whatsapp messenger, looking at an email)
I removed my micro-SD card, a 64GB Sandisk, and noted that the random heating up/full CPU usage stopped.
Inserted the card, formatted it and it was over.
This used to happen on 4.4 where if you had corrupt files on the microSD a process would keep on trying to scan it; I would've imagined that gotten fixed by now. But apparently it's not.
So yeah, that helped for me.
The note edge DOES get hot when you're quick-charging it with the supplied charger. But that's normal.
so my galaxy s7 phone did it recently
exactly after one year warranty just expired the phone became painfully slow
it was a brand new phone sent from samsung as a replacement for my broken phone replaced under warranty
had zero problems for a whole year and i mean zero like no issues with speed or freezing at all
never dropped or dipped in the water to test the water resistance
always in a case since day one. no crazy apps. actually same exact apps that i have on all my phones.
no new apps were installed before slowdown
i already deleted some apps. cleaned up app cache individually and reset cache from boot screen
tested in safe mode and still slow
im not sure if the update was installed recently or not but the slowdown happened about 2 months ago. was there a tmobile update at that time?
im not really sure.
but this is the third phone that did this.
galaxy s5 that i also bought brand new for a year was well maintained and had no problems
that phone actually started lagging really bad and shutting down multiple times a week or restarting....
before that galaxy s3 did same thing. after exactly a year it became ridiculously slow for absolutely no reason
i install all the apps i use right out of the box. change all the settings to what i want and dont really make any changes after and it usually very stable for about a year
is there an app that i can use to troubleshoot?
or an app that will show me what component is slowing down the system in real time?
obviously something is slowing down the OS, theres gotta be an app that can trace the faulty app or file or component
i cant be the only one who noticed that
is there really no way to pinpoint what is slowing down the phone?
why do i have to reset everything every time it gets slow
isnt there an app that can diagnose what is loading up the system?
this phone is painfully slow suddenly with no apparent reason
Have you been able to view the CPU activity and the RAM allocation?
I am not sure how to do this, but if possible, it might reveal what is happening.
I would try disabling some of the applications one by one. First suspects would be:
1. Facebook
2. Google Play Store.
3. Youtube.
Disable one, then try the phone. If still the same, disable second and try etc.
Jim.
How is your device storage. Once you use more then 50% device storage android starts to lag. It's an issue with the OS.
device storage has always been about the same since brand new. which is about 80% on average.
doesnt safe mode disable all non stock apps? i tried safe mode with same result
windows has a resource monitor that helps alot but i dont know if android has any monitoring app that could help troubleshoot this
Samsung devices are known for getting laggy over time, try a different phone next time, in the meantime, do a factory reset and start fresh.

This is very suspect to me, but I am only a beginner.
Given zelendel's post about (re 50%), I would investigate further. Did you note his credentials?
What does all that data consist of?
What is the total storage capacity of the phone?
Perhaps some of that storage capacity is used as "swap" memory? Just guessing...........I am extrapolating Linux terminology here.
about 10-15 gigs of that is music/videos for airplane or when i have no internet. its been there since i got the phone
other things come and go like downloads documents videos images
im surprised theres no apps to troubleshoot the phone lagging when theres so many people having that problem and the best solution is to just reset the phone. which should be the last resort
if resetting the phone works most of the time then there should be an app that could look for conflicts as it runs in the background.

Depending on the amount of storage in your device that could be a lot.
Resetting the device wipes things. You really can't find an issue if the only issue is storage space. So here is a test. Remove stuff from your device. Give yourself a clean start and then go from there. Adding stuff slowly until it slows down.
I have had dozens of devices and the only time they ever got slow was due to getting low on phone storage.
This even encludes a 5 year old Samsung that I have that is as fast as the day I got it. Mind you there is nothing on it but some games for a kid. I even disabled all of Samsungs crap they install that slows a device down.
Could also be stuff acting up in the background
Run a log cat and see if anything is hanging.
cool thanks ill try that
got my internal memory to under 50%
reset cache again
deleted few apps and moved alot of them to SD card and cleared cache for those too
heres exactly whats happening
theres a delay for every action
2 wifi seems to drop in and out now since it got slow
3 facebook and browser wouldnt load anything on wifi
but as soon as i switch to data it works
i have to restart the phone alot now and close all apps multiple times a day to get them to work
also running safe mode had no effect on speed
i dont know when the last update was from tmobile but it might have been due to crappy update im not sure at this point
i got the phone last end of summer and it worked flawlessly every single day up until last 2 months exactly when warranty expired
how does samsung find faulty hardware when i send it in for service?
do they use an app?
ok this is getting ridiculous.
the phone wen to complete ****
facebook doesnt load posts unless i restert it by closing the app
phone just feels very slow overall.
constantly lags hangs. and in general just completely crappy performance slowly degrading.
i dont know why suddenly it started happening just like my last 3 phones
after about a year theres always a sudden decrease in performance and things start bugging and lagging etc
so theres no way to figure out why its slow?
isnt there some hardware tests or system scan or something that can help point to the problem?
Sorry to read that you are still having this problem Fuzzysig.
Did you try any of the suggestions in my post #4 and/or in Zelendel's post #10?
If so, which ones did you try and what resulted from those changes?

Hi, I was a Samsung user too and faced the same problem.
I went through various threads which gave me multiple solutions: rooting, removing bloatware, cpu monitoring and many more.
None of that worked. The phone was so slow that it was not usable.
Ultimately I had to throw it and buy another phone.
Then I noticed this is not just me, all Samsung users face the same problem even the flagship users.
I swear I'll never buy a Samsung phone and never let anyone buy one.
Hi there,
Have something that botheres me for a while.
My daughter's S7 started overheating not long ago and it seems to get worse every day.
Random reboots every few hours. I was next to her whrn watching a live stream and the video stopped and the audio glitched (buzzzzzzz) just before the phone restarted again. Is this the end or a software reboot can fix that? Or probably a new battery?
Still using the original software version. There has never been unlocked or installed a custom build. Of course its out of warranty long time ago.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I wouldn't worry, it'll probably explode while you're asleep taking the whole neighbourhood with it.
So the answer is, as device firmware is updated so are the apps you use, which demand ever more CPU resource and battery power. This will be the primary cause of the excessive battery drain and hence extra heat on an older model. Of course there's the fact that eventually a rechargable battery will start behaving crazy the older it gets. They are only supposed to function correctly for 500 recharge cycles, after that all manner of craziness happens.
A temp fix would be to check the firmware is the lastest version which goes someway to correct these issues, but eventually nothing will remove the need for a battery change or new phone i'm afraid. Like most electronics they simply arent build to last.
You could also flash a custom ROM and only have the apps you want but that's a different conversation.
Thanks for the reply ?.
I guess you're right. Its like trying to run a compatible game on an old PC while using the video and cpu on their maximum capacity all the time.
I'll look for a light custom rom. Done that many times to some of my older phones so I think I'll manage to install one. Thanks again for the above
