Hot while charging - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone gets pretty darn hot while charging off the official charger
does anybody else's do the same?
Any solutions?

I thought mine was gonna burst into flames this morning lol. Charged over night, picked it up this morning and it was almost too hot to pick up. Battery is at 103 degrees right now.

Warm, maybe. Hot, no. Still very early under manufacturers warranty so should be easily replaced. Did this with my wife's and rather than mess with it, sprint just replaced the phone with NIB.

Running at 82 degrees currently. Will have to keep an eye on this.

Must say this is the "coolest" phone I've owned so far..
Hehe, joke aside, it doesn't actually heat up all that much.
Even when being used or in talk.
mine is always at 40°Celsius after I use it for 5min :/
( 104 Fahrenheit says Google)
Mine gets warm not hot feels so nice when u ain't used ur phone for awhile and it feels cold
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Me too. But it wasn't EXTREMELYhot just hotter than I have ever felt on a phone. But it quickly cooled down after an hour more on the charger.

I noticed my phone got pretty uncomfortably hot when I had it plugged in my car charger and using the turn-by-turn navigation. At that time I didn't have an app to measure the temp though. I'm going on a trip this weekend so perhaps I'll be able to get some hard data.
In general though it does get pretty warm when it's charging. I'm not too surprised by that since the phone is so thin..
You using OEM charger? Usb charging? Wall charging?

I had mine charging for a few hours, and it didn't get hot at all. I used an OEM HTC charger and cord.

OEM all the way here

i went through 5 units, they all behaved very differently in terms of heat. so i guess the build quality is to blame here.
been playing Asphalt 6 for 45 min and screen still on downloading Max Payne, not hot at all. My Legend can get hot quick.
edit, about an hour of Asphalt and Max Payne it got pretty hot!
Yup same here ...however once I flashed a different rom the issue went away...good luck
I want to give a big thanks who put their input. Helps a lot of us - new to the phone users good ideas for the heat.

Phone gets really hot now

Okay so since I went from my stock firmware of 2.3.5 to a custom ROM(NexusMod ICS Zero) and flashed the Blaze 4G ICS Radio) my phones screen has been getting really hot. Is there something wrong? What should I do? Thanks.

Insall AnTuTu CPU master and check to see CPU temps and battery temps. I've had something similar happen to my Atrix and it was getting stuck on max Ghz and wasn't scaling down.
Is 105° battery temp normal?

What's the outdoor temp? Lol. You must live in a sauna
I live in New York. Maybe its because it was on the charger. Now its off the charger and down to 97°

If your phone is on a charger plus a case, yes it will get hot. You truly did just hijack this thread lol

Yes he did...and what do you guys think a bad temperature would be? Ima wait till it gets hot again and check the temp through SetCPU app.

I loaned my sidekick to a friend of mine while I was fixing his. When I was done and got the sidekick back I placed it in my laptop bag and forgot about it. Found it today and it was still on all beast mode like with 70% battery.

It also looks like you have no sim installed in it so yea with the phone never looking for a signal I'm not surpised it stayed on a decent charge sitting idle.

Phone getting very warm

Hello I just got my gs4 on Saturday and I have to say that im not as impressed as I thought I would be.
The phone gets quite hot during almost anything. Also is no where near as snappy as my rooted inspire (1.0 ghz single core with less than 1 gb ram). This phone is awesome as far as opening more draining apps like facebook.
I wouldn't think that rooting is needed to be quicker than a 2.5 year old phone...
At this point im considering trading it in for a gs3 or htc one....
And mine is definitely laggy

If it's getting very hot with little usage then I'd exchange it for another.
Also, an update was released today that pretty much solved the lag issues..
Mine got pretty warm last night while playing a simple solitaire game...
It was also eating battery pretty fast.
I rebooted it and it seemed to go away.

Are there any services or apps that is causing the CPU/Stay Awake to drain your battery?
My first G4 was horrible laggy as well, but my new one is a dream. See this thread.

Just search for jelly bean keyboard and it should be the first one.
mine gets stupid hot for the smallest things I surf the web for about five mins and you cant even put up to your ear to make a call TO HOT.. I returned it and got it exchanged and that device is also getting way to hot. I might just return the GS4 seems like a big issue out there I googled the problem and see that most people are having the issue. IDK 7 more days and I.m stuck with it... any other phone would be a downgrade.

There is probably something wrong with your phone and the next one. Bad luck I guess. It never gets hot on normal use for me. The only time it gets hot for me is when playing high end games.

Unless you dont mind being mocked for talking on a tablet I would avoid any phone larger than the s4. The note two has its place and it to me is only worthwhile if you carry a purse.... it's a great device but not practical in my opinion, I mean how do you carry that thing?

In my pocket never had an issue fits perfectly. As far as what others think about it don't matter to me.

I wish I wasnt as affected but I hate when ppl comment on how large my phone is...and I think its because I agree and wish it was smaller. A 4.5 or so with the the same build as this s4 would be mich nicer. And by that I mean a screen that efficiently uses the face of the phone.
Its really tough to determine what is the he perfect size screen and I think over time we will become more tolerant of the pocket consumption. I mean look at the inspire or other older 4.2...it was huge for its time but now its really not considered that anymore.
With that said for the time being I think 4.5 with the smallest possible chassis would be the best.

Sprint Galaxy S5 Hot/Burnt/Dead

Got my daughter an S5 and she had been playing a game and then downloaded Skype and the phone for super hot and shut down. Now the power button Doesnt move and it's burned inside the back cover. It wasn't even plugged in is what gets me..
This happen to anyone else? I will be going to Sprint today to see our options, not sure how it could be blamed on us but you never know..
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
Damn! I wouldn't settle for anything less than a brand new phone. That is really dangerous and they should kiss your ass! Lol. I haven't seen an s5 do that, but other phones have.
Dam! That's crazy. Demand a new one!
