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

ROM

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.

Here is mine - Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 battery life test

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

I think it's just depends on your usage.

Why another thread ?
@Moderators: Merge ?

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.

same here

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.

Battery drain caused by 4.2.2 ROM?

Hello, on my Onda v971 tablet running Android 4.2.2, the battery drain is quite obvious (-120%/hour) if you leave the screen and use it moderately (browsing web, youtube, etc.) However, if you leave it idle, it is quite battery friendly (battery usage of about -1.1%/hour). I searched a bit on the web and I hear people saying that it was the ROM that caused the problem. In fact, many people experienced similar issue after upgraded to 4.2.2 no matter what devices they're using. Therefore, I took a snapshot of the battery usage screen and I found that the Screen occupies a great portion in the overall battery consumption. However, on my Note running 4.1.2, I saw that the screen occupies a much less portion in the battery usage. So, here are question that arised;
- Is the battery drain caused by the Android 4.2.2 version of the ROM?
- Is the battery drain caused by the screen?
- The Screen occupies a greater portion in the Battery usage in the case of the tablet than in the case of the Note 2 because a tablet has a bigger screen than the phone or because of it is running Android 4.2.2?
Thanks.

Its obvious I need to change my kernel and ROM now but I can't find a descent 1 lol hopefully the best 1 does not void my warranty thumbs crossed <--- purposely done

Do have the same experience? If so, can you post some screenshot and specified that device you have?

Root/flashing won't void your warranty as long as you are able to keep your binary count = 0.

Better switch back to the old rom (Stock Rom), it happened with me 2.

I am using the stock ROM that comes with it since there are very few or maybe even none of custom ROM for it.
Are you using any kind of custom ROM? Is it base on 4.2.2?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

i same problem with 4.3 stock rom on my galaxy s4 , the google services drain my battery =(

Conclusion: using an up to date firmware is not always a good thing. Hope Onda will release a downgraded 4.1.2 firmware to fix the problem...

You are right, there could also be a chance that the battery meter is not correct. But now I am wondering that why it is not correct even that it comes from stock...

Have you tried a factory reset? Maybe there's some app in background draining your battery.
With lollipop you get around 20% less battery life, but still you can make up to 6 hours of screen on time on wifi and 4.30 on 3G
