Anyone experience this? I noticed when my phone is plugged in and i play a game for 5 mins the top half of my phone gets to 47-48 degrees... Almost too hot to hold. When I leave it alone it stays about 10 degrees cooler. Anyone know what might be causing this?

Not sure what might be causing it but mine does the same. It's probably normal.
There are several threads discussing this. Please search first.

The current to your phone and the addition of you doing something causes the processor to get hot. That's it.
Are you using the flip case from Samsung?

I didnt do anything to the phone.. This was a replacement from my original one that was randomly rebooting and freezing.. Im just worried i might damage the internals.. Anyways i called rogers for another replacement. They are sending it as soon as i return my original

Thanks for bringing this up, it's quite relevant to my interests.
Mine also gets hot. I recently upgraded my folks' phones to ATT Galaxy S II's (non Skyrocket) and they both get very hot when surfing on battery power via data. My battery monitor widget said 103'F at one point.
My Note also feels a little laggy (not hugely so) and has crashed a couple of times. The battery life is atrocious (coming from an iPhone 4)... I'm considering exchanging it at ATT as I'm still well within my 30 days. Rooting and freezing all the usual suspect apps hasn't helped.

Whats weird is that my original one didnt get hot but was laggy and freezing up. This ones the exact opposite.. Fast as hell and hot. Now i did a couple tests and the only difference was that the white on my current phone had a slight yellowish tint on the original. Battery life i get 12-17 hours on both.

On a sidenote just took my phone out of my pocket and while writing the last post phone got to 37 degrees and this is while it was off the charger...

My first note would her extremely hot between 117f and 130f while idle on a charger from the top half up. Used a thermal temp sensor from my liquid cooling to measure temp. According to a friend of mine manager at an att, said the heat problem is the biggest for return and that from what he's found out talking a Sammy rep that the cpu and memory in some units through shipping and handling have been loosened from their respective heat transfer system.
So basically manufacture defect and if it gets hot replace it. It'll hurt the internals.

i have noticed the pocket thing though, if i keep it in my jacket pocket it seem to get hotter faster even though i am not doing anything on it at all. but it goes right back down again after i pull it out for about 3 min.

Had something strange happen today. I was streaming a video through the Netflix app for a little over an hour while I had my x2 plugged into my Motorola car charger. It never missed a beat or locked up or skipped or rebooted but it did get pretty hot in my hand. So much so that I removed the vzw silicone case I had on it. Finished the movie just fine. Later on, as I was putting it in a pocket, I saw some silver down in the external speaker on the back. Looks like the black plastic film beneath the speaker screen bubbled & melted slightly, although it still sounds just fine. Could it have gotten that hot w/o shutting down? Should I be worried?

As long as everything is still working correctly I wouldn't worry. But it wouldn't hurt to give verizon a call and tell them what happened, that way they can make a note of it in your account and if you suffer a future malfunction it will probably be easier to get a replacement out of them.

Sounds like a plan, thanks. Ever hear of anything like it happening?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
Never heard of a phone getting so hot that the speaker melted lol.
I do know that the 3g radio in the x2 is like a mini furnace, and was the likely culprit. Wifi keeps the temperature much lower. And the tegra2 has a operational temperature of 26.6° - 158° F. Which it pretty hot, although I'm not sure when the self preservation shut down kicks in, I'd guess around 150° F. So it can get really hot before it will shut down on it's own.
Anyways, like I said before it was *probably* because you were on 3g and using so much data constantly. Now that you know you can try to minimize those situations, or give the radio a break every 30 minutes or so. And use wifi whenever possible.
Cheers

They do get hot, and keep in mind when these phones are engineered they aren't designed with cases in mind. The aluminum battery cover for example is designed to help dissipate heat from the phone. These cases don't allow the phone to dissipate as designed. They are fine for the most part...but so many heavy users are complaining about overheating with their cases. I'd call and see if Verizon would be willing to do something, and then try without a case.
Also...the weaker the signal you are getting the hotter that 3g radio will get. As mentioned above, if wifi is available it will help tremendously.
Update: According to vzw, this thing should shut down before any physical damage occurs to anything. Must have an issue with the phone so they are sending a replacement.

+1. Once the temp reaches a certain point it will go into "cooldown" which basically turns your phone off.
I also agree with the 3G being a mini furnace.
It's an nVidia SoC you are dealing with. They always make chips that run hot.
Yeah nvidia tend to run a little hot, mine for example runs in the 105-115° F range on wifi, any phone I've had with a TI would rarely go over 100° F.

I guess their point is that it should've gone into cooldown before anything actually melted. The fact that it was charging too should not have made a difference.

I agree it should have shutdown, but I don't have a point of comparison. Yours is the highest temp I've heard of.
I wouldn't complain about a new phone though, especially after it was subjected to high temperatures like that. Reliability becomes a crap-shoot after something like that.

I Have Extremely Poor Service -95 To -115 dBm And The Highest I've Seen Is 65° C. By That Point I Knew Something Was Wrong When I Thought My Hand Was Going To Burst Into Flames. I Use A SETCpu Profile For The CPU And Battery Temperatures. I Don't Trust Verizon Saying They Have A Safety Feature For It When I Know My Computers CPU Hits 70° C It Has A Shutdown Feature To Save It.
I know lots of users are experiencing overheating. I'm just wondering if it's all or just a select few of the phones. My phone has been perfect aside from the overheating. No sounds screen or pink button issues. I'm debating whether to call amazon and order a replacement. I'd hate to get one back that has more problems than the one have.

The only time i over-heat is when using the MHL adapter. Havn't tried playing 3d intensive games for longer than 10 minutes, so not sure about that (i'll try later tonight, they won't let me play at work).
Might be that the screen is on too long at high brightness rather than just the processor taking in to many inputs? Or it might be the 4g, cause I was streaming movies when watching on the MHL... it'd be nice to know what people are doing that makes there phones overheat so we can analyze more results.
Never had an overheat on my rezound. I run wifi daily all during work. usually only streaming pandora or gmusic over wifi. netflix on some days but never gets hot. mostly on wifi so not sure about 4G.
With the 4g network down in Chicago yesterday I was plugged into a wall outlet and streaming through a radio feed via dolphin and my phone wasn't overheating in 2g. Coincidence? I think not lol. Will be testing my replacement rezound starting today we will see how this one goes.

its through amazon wireless and they give me 30 days from the shipping date to return. They also did overnight delivery for the nes one which was awesome.
anyways I just played a game that over heated my phone to 115 then I stop pulled the battery. I'm waiting a half hour or so so my phone cools down then I'll do the same game with the nee battery and we'll see how that goes. If it over heats I'll repeat the process in the new phone. Sure hope its just the battery
Are you in an area that gets a good data signal? When I was in an area where the phone was working hard to keep the 4G signal,it would warm up.

I have good signal but the 4g is irrelevant to my overheating. I turn it off. Clear all apps. Start the game (little war game or whatever) and it gets over 110 degrees atleast after ten minutes.
original phone overheated both batteries. Testing new phone now

It overheats with the overheat app it comes with. I managed to bake a potato in one full charge.
Compared to my old HOX, the SIII is a fridge.
It warms up ever so slightly if you run some benchmarks on it but its the equivelant temperature to breathing on your own hand.

Yeah, I was just confirming if it was a fluke. According to him the phone even overheats while making call which IMO is not possible.
YES
OK this sucks.
Years ago, I got the Iphone 4 and you had to put a cover on it because of the antenna issue.
I get the S3 and to protect it, i get a cover and within no time, after putting it on the phone, the phone overheats, locks up, lags,
If i am charging it, it locks up. I was driving shortly after i put the case on, and it kept making noise but i was driving so i couldnt look at the phone. then once i got home. i noticed it locking up and really warm, bottom right hand corner.
This really sucks as i love the phone but I do know, overheating like this is not good for electronics and will lessen their lifespan.
anyone else having cover issues?

It gets rather warm when it running stuff that puts quite some load on CPU, GPU whateverPU, yah, but not to an extend where one could call it "overheat".
So far it's always been below 50°C - I think that's a "no" on the original question.
Got my Note 2 about 2 weeks or so ago and like it so far. However, I notice it runs pretty warm consistently. Using system tuner, the temp is upper 40s°C Most of the time. And this is just sitting in my pocket, not gaming or anything intensive. Anybody experience this? The screen is pretty warm and is even uncomfortable to hold to my ear. Any help is appreciated. I did look and didn't find too many threads about it with the Note 2, and apologize if I missed any. Thanks!

Your device probably has a lack of thermal paste on the motherboard or they didn't put enough past in between the display.

Have you run any benchmarks? If there is an issue then it won't be good for the phone, but it'll tell you if it's throttling from heat issues. You also may be able to trade it at verizon with just the heat issue since it's noticeable so fast, but I'm not sure..
Ran a benchmark and everything seemed fine for that test. I'm resetting it now and will see if that makes a difference. I'm just past the two weeks and know I'd probably get a refurbished if I went to exchange it now. Everything else is working fine, so if this can be figured out then I'd much prefer to keep this one. Thanks for the advice guys. If anyone else knows something else to check before I possibly exchange it, that'd be great!

We have the same issue.. First install the android tuner, remember that the battery temp is not the same as the CPU temp.
I have my note that sits 38-42 CPU temp when Idle and 28-32 battery temp.
When I am browsing I could really feel the heat on the upper part of the screen. my CPU temp rise to 47-50 and my battery temp rises to 32-34.
Check your note.
I was browsing rhrough the forums and saw that you had the same problem too. My CPU temp is about 42C idle and goes up to 50 or just over when doing pretty much anything. My battery is about 33C at idle

Turns out it was an app or two causing it. I think one culprit was running wallpapers through picspeed instead of saving them first. Lesson learned and still monitoring cpu and battery usage.

Ya, I would say try changing the battery. Someone did a test a while ago where they took 5 phones in put them in something and lowered the temp by 10f every 30 mins. At -10 batteries that had just been charged said low, then I think died at -20. Then at -30 they all had screen problems and battery problems. And I think they almost all stopped working completely at -40. But all they had to do was return the phones to room temperature again and they were all fine. I'll try and find the article but wat I'm saying is I don't think the cold damaged the phone but maybe the battery

I hope you are keeping your Amaze in a warm pocket. I recall seeing a story several years ago about an Air Force plane that overnighted in Fairbanks AK. They were carrying LCD monitors for southeast Asia. Turns out that all the monitors were ruined when their screens froze. LCD = Liquid Crystal Display, and liquid can freeze...
EDIT: having looked it up online, I'm not sure if the story is true or not, but many LCDs seem to have a -40c max storage temperature.
Hmm can't quote you ^^^
Yes its in my pocket its not -40 its like -10 to -35 at most, LCD is fine (thanks for info btw) just data and battery life (even when I don't go outside the battery don't last long, like 2 hours) since data don't work with right APN and everything I'm going to just get another phone, until then gonna try to make it work, any help would be appreciated.

Could possibly be due to condensation issues. I had a phone a few years back that suffered in the Ohio winters, which get nasty but don't compare to those temps. Also, as I understand it, cold kills Li-Ion batteries quite nicely.
