Hello this is my first post here.I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s i9000 that i bought a week ago. I downloaded Pocket Legends from the market and when i play it ,the phone seems to overheat,the back side of it is really hot,especially the upper part. I thought that the processor might be heavly running to support the graphics and that might be the reason, but i am a little afraid cause i dont want to burn my phone.So,is it normal if the phone overheats when playing good graphics games?
Sorry for my english and if i posted in the wrong place.Thank you.

Hey I have the same thing when playing 3D games and web browsing.
Recently I was playing Pocket Legends and my phone got so hot it went black and into safe mode.
Anyone can help with this? I made a similar thread.
I have a Galaxy S and I don't have any problems while browsing or playing 3d games. No heat whatsoever. You should go to the nearest service and get it looked at if its still in the warranty...especially if it turns off because of the heat.
I have been using Darky's ROM and have been having trouble with pocket legends. Everything would be good and all, then it would freeze. No force close, just hang and a force reboot would be needed. Does anyone else have this?
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.
Again, posting here since I don't seem to see anyone complaining about this, and I'm thinking if it's time to send my tablet to repair.
Whenever I play Gyro based games like Riptide GP or Busted (under-appreciated game btw, I recommend everyone to try this game, it's free! )...
I notice that my jetski or my ship bears left slightly.
So I downloaded Smart Tools, used the protractor, and confirmed that whenever I place my tab on a flat surface, I get a 5 degree offset to the left side. And that's what causing all my racing games to veer left.
I tried the in-app calibration option, but it only fixes it for that app. Once back to Riptide or Busted, my racers veer again.
(Edit: you may download the protractor only for free.)
Has anyone experienced this? or does anyone know of a fix?
"Bubble level" from Antoine something... Its available in the Market and is full-free.
This might be of use to you, as it has a sensor reset in its calibration settings.
I dont know if the in-app calibrator is device-specific or only in that particular
app, but I just tried its Reset feature, and it indeed does reset it. Give it a run
and let us know

Thanks for the suggestion omnius. Now, I didn't see a "reset" option, but I did see "calibrate". I tried to calibrate both orientation and accelerometer sensors, and they were fixed in the app, but when I go to Riptide GP, the 5 degree shift still seems to be there.
Do those G-sensor based games work fine on your A510?
When Im in the calibration settings, Ive got 3 options, Calibrate, Reset Sensor, Cancel
I cant see why reset aint available in your setup.. Hmm, I really dunno :-!
Have you had a check with other device info apps, just to confirm all sensors is reacting and available?.. Just an idea

Again, thanks for the reply. Yes, I tried Smart Tools initially, and all sensors seem to be working. There's just that 5 degree shift in the protractor that's affecting my games.
And, that is very strange that you have a reset option and I don't... We're using this Bubble level app right?
That is indeed the same Im using.
You dont have that Reset button, as per this shot from my A510.?
Sent from my A510 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for attaching the thumbnail, I was looking for a reset button once I press the menu button on the upper right corner (feel free to laugh at my stupidity. lol.)
So I did try the reset button, unfortunately, it only resets the calibration in-app. Once I rest my device on a flat surface, I can again see the offset (because the calibration is gone), and when I try Riptide, I have a slight bearing to the right again.
So just to verify, when you press reset on your tab, does the green dot center up by itself? Or do you need to recalibrate it?
(My expected scenario is there should be no need to recalibrate. But if you also do, then I guess, I don't need to contact Acer support for this.)
I havent had that slide to a side that you do, yet, but would as a fellow racer be severely pissed if it happened.. :screwy:
But yes, it ligns up to center, as far as my kitchentable is straight, upon applying the Reset.
But not having that drift myself, I hardly know what else to advice you to try.
You might be able to digg up a hidden system intent, either Iconia or ICS specific, to fire up a real device sensor reset, thou so far I havent found any yet. But I'll let you know if I do

I'll prolly take time to contact Acer support one of these days too. Thanks again for helping me out!

Update:
So I sent my tablet to local Acer Support last weekend, and after three days, they told me that my Gyro miscalibration issue is a mainboard issue. They're replacing the mainboard this afternoon since they just received the part today.
I'm half happy/sad that I did get a lemon tablet. But hey, hopefully, this ends well.
Update again:
After following up on the status of my tablet, it seems that replacing the motherboard did not resolve my issue. My ticket has been escalated and I am now being offered a new unit instead. I was asked to contact my retailer and provide my ticket number, since they've coordinated both with my retailer and my distributor already.
Will update this thread until I get a fully working tab.
To anyone reading this, wish me luck.
Just a quick update.
Got my new tablet from Acer service yesterday and my gyroscope is now perfectly levelled.
when i play high-quality games, sometimes the game will stuck and the screen flickered constantly. you can turn back to home screen, but the game need to be stopped.
i tried to update, or change change ROM version. now it's better, but the issue is still exist.

Thing is, ever since I got the tablet, I only tried Riptide and Busted (just to confirm my Gyro is ok, and it is. )
What game do you get those flickers?

deadtrigger: 1 times
asphalt 6: 2-3 times
shadowgun: about 2 times
riptide: 1 times
when the flicker was occurred, reboot is a good choice, if not, when you restart the game the problem would possibly show up again

Since I see that you have the most problems with Asphalt 6 and Shadowgun, I'll install those over the weekend and report back.
I was able to try a few minutes of Shadowgun, Asphalt 6 and 7 over the weekend.
And the only time I get that screen flashing behavior is when I have a window on top of the game (i.e. Facebook login.) Other than that though, the game seems to be handling normally.
I did notice screen tearing in the background for Asphalt 6 and 7.
Also, I notice some gyroscope misbehavior at certain times in Asphalt 7's game. Which is what some commenters in the market also mention, so I'm not too worried with it. I might play Asphalt 6 more then.

thx 4 your test report!
i guess the longer u play, the more possibility u will get the misbehavior.
Hope acer will fix all bugs and make it perfect!
oh, wait, i need to wake my bricked tab up first before i get the new OTA:crying:
You bricked your tab? :-o

yep, i installed the CWM ( version 5.8.4 ) a few days ago, i used the wipe data/ factory reset, then it killed my tab:angel:
finally i know this CWM was under testing, i didn't read the title and instruction carefully. :crying:
so it's not recommended to do sth may harmful to the tab until u know what u r doing
While playing a game(it could be any demanding game) suddenly the screen stops responding to touch and neither do the capacitive buttons. After several seconds you are able to do anything and then even after you exit the game everything remains a stutter mess until you restart the phone. Does it happen with anyone? Really disappointing when it happens.
no. I played Asphalt 6 and it is ok. But I just play small games now.
It doesnt happen every time for me but "sometimes" and it never happens while playing light games like angry birds.
I only got that twice because the phone probably was out of memory. Don't play high demanding games and you are fine
Ya I suppose heavy games should be avoided now, nexus S does provide a totally smooth smartphone experience otherwise. I dont restart my phone for days now and it all works smoothly, just gaming which can really bring it to it's knees.
I have had my Verizon S6 for a little over two weeks now. In general I like it, but I've noticed it seems to overheat easily. A repeatable scenario is while playing Olaf's Adventures (Don't judge me!) for about 10 minutes I'll get the "Cooling Down" warning. I won't have anything else running in the background. I tends to happen the fastest when I'm playing that and doing multiple things in the game at the same time (have Olaf run around & interact with his world at the same time).
To those of you who have a S6 could you download this free game and see if your phones overheat as well? I'm wondering if it's just my phone, or if all the S6s are that way.
Thanks!
I personally never had the overheat issue while playing graphic intensive games, such as WoT and Modern Combat 5. I think it's the issue with the app, not the phone itself.
Yes it gets really hot after playing for 7-8 minutes . But didn't show any warning . I think it's just an app issue.
I'll check out Modern Combat 5 and WoT and see what happens there. I also noticed it happened with Google Cardboard.
I downloaded and tried Modern Combat 5 and watched the temps with CPUz. It didn't seem to get above 61c, so either it isn't as demanding, or like you said Olaf's Adventures is poorly written. It worries me that Google Cardboard also caused overheating though. Does anyone else have heating issues with Google Cardboard? Again it could be the apps fault. I believe it was some VR theater that caused the overheating.
