SGS3 battery overheating ? !! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
After buying I recharged my phone once.
Now even when I'm simply listening to music and using tapalalk, battery temps are at 43 degrees celsius.
When doing back to back speedtests it went to 47 deg cel.
The lower portion of phone becomes hotter.
I'm really worried.
Can you guys give your battery and phone temps ?
Ps : use cool tool software.

I have no problem what so ever, played Dungeon defenders and GTA III today and it did not get more than 35 degree celcius. The phone do heat a bit up when it charge, but no higher than 35 degree... I did not play and charge the phone at the same time.
(however dungeon defenders did actually lag a bit :O, must be the game that is pooly optimised).

I tried stress testing the phone by playing an hd video using popup play and running shadowgun at the same time, and the battery only reached 39 deg. celcius.
I've setup some battery temperature warning events at 40, 44, 48, and 50 degrees and only my lowest one has ever triggered. Highest I've seen the battery is 42 degrees.

So you guys think its a defective battery ?
Or it needs 3 to 4 recharges to come to that optimal temperature ?

I think weather / room temperature play a big part here. In hotter environments phone temperature during idle or use would naturally be higher than in colder ones. Pretty sure it's quite warm in Bangalore this time of year.

you can better try switching off the mobile, pullout the battery and turn it on after a few minutes. also check the cpu usage, you may have installed some app which might be continuously running in the background

Did not workout. Issue still exists.
No background process running. No cpu hogs.
One more thing I noticed : the battery temp raises to 47 only when there is lot of activiy ln the chipset (either 3g downloads or cpu activities which causes it to clock at 1.4 ghz more often). Where as on sgs2 if i apply the same load its 35 deg. I tried it on sgs2 and measured the temp.
The battery temp most of the time is 40 deg, thats what bothering me.

M planning to return my phone because of this overheating.
Just 5 mins played the game and battery temp raised from 30 deg cel to 44 deg cel.
Suggestions pls.
Samsung dealer says that i've 4 days. Within 4 days if i find any problems i can get a letter from nearest samsung service center and upon seeing that letter he will immediately give me a new phone.
I do not know what will happen if i ask for a refund of money.

I changed the battery. Battery temp is well under 40 deg under regular browsing with music player playing in bkground.
Under heavy gaming under A.C. temp stays still at 40 deg.
I'm ok with these readings.
Now m gonna undervolt the phone also underclock cup and gpu and see how the temps turnaround.

Any problem will be affected if temperature up to 61C ?

I playing the game Japan Life while using AC charger, the temperature rised up to 61C. Do you know any problem will be affected to my phone?

61 °c! And you were able to still hold it! My phone is hard to touch at even just above 40 degree celcius

61c is insane....... you are lucky not to burn anything inside your s2.
What is the accepted max. temperature?

Well don't say that if you are not sure. 61°C is high, but no way you can say that as insane.
I was reading some articles about Cortex A9 CPU's and found this,
http://www.phytec.com/products/som/Cortex-A9/phyCORE-OMAP4430.html
So the TJ Max of the CPU is 85°C. But for safety you shouldn't let it go above 70-72°C.
But do remember one thing, that is the CPU temp I was talking about, not Battery temp as you mentioned. It's very common that Battery temp will get higher if CPU temp increases.
Regards.

Yeah, people see battery temperature, but 61 degrees seems pretty high. My battery didn't pass 48 degrees, even when playing complex games. A high temperature will shorten battery lifetime and there has been one report on this forum about plastic inside SII melting down cause of heat, but no info about the temperature that melted it.

Well the battery & CPU, both temperatures are also depending on the ambient temp. It is also advised to mention the ambient temp along with battery temp.
Regards.
Normally mine operates at 42-46. Maybe it's because I live in a tropical country. Once it got to 53 degrees celsius. Got kinda worried, don't know whether to take it back or not. Is this normal?

Phone gets very hot while charging

Hi guys,
At the moment i am dealing with the problem of my Samsung Galaxy S2 getting very hot while charging sometimes.
i downloaded an app to check the heat and it got over 54 Celsius thats about 130 Fahrenheit.
Are some of you dealing with the same problem that i am dealing with? Should i take it back to the shop where i bought it?
Greets Jay
Hi,
do you use it while charging?
Mine is about 41°C while charging (only charging) - highest temp i got while usage & charging was about 48°C. (2000mAh Battery)
Greetz
With me it's around 48 °C while only charging and from 52°C to 54°C while charging on use.
So i guess that it is pretty normal?

How hot does you're galaxy s2 gets while charging then?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Well.. I too have this problem. But I think it also depends on the room temperature.
If my phone is in the office, where the desk temp is maintained at around 20 degree celsius, the phone temp would be around 27-30 when charging without use.
At home if I charge, with room temp being around 30, the phone temp goes above 40.
Using the data connection, with screen On increases temp more, because the processor would be awake running at higher frequencies (stock max is 1200 MHz).
When phone is idle, the processor kind of sleeps, bringing down the frequency and hence the temperature.
If you are rooted, you can try underclocking the phone. App like SetCPU, for example, allows you to set profiles. So I can set a profile, which will reduce the max frequency from 1200 MHz to 1000MHz when charging on USB, 800 MHz when charging on AC supply etc. This will help in keeping the phone cool.
Regards
When I played GTA III while charging (CPU set to 1600-1600, governor performance, GPU 400 MHz 1100 mV), temperature was ~52°C.
I am having the same problem with the same phone, Android 4, I've opened a new thread, but no answer at all :-/
Hi , My sgs2 gets hot when charging but not very much . One thing that i noticed it get's very very hot while using some certain apps
like Refddit is fun . It gets very very hot
My phone once got hot when it was on charge, so I tried different kernels and the problem went away. If you're on custom roms ask what other users are on in the ROM thread. If your on stock I'd call phone providers help line as you may have a fault.

Xperia S Acceptable Gaming Temperature

Hello folks,
I'm having 40~41 celsius degrees at full load (gaming) at my Xperia S, and is that all right? Your temperatures are like that too? So i created this topic so we can discuss about this, since i didnt find any other topic with this subject.
Why do you want to discuss this? 40 degree is ok.
Nothing to discuss.

How you got this temp on Germany?
My phone doesn't go up to 43 ºC (I don't play high end games, some mid end), and I live in Brazil...
mine is 44 c. But android has built in over heat control. When it reached the max temp, it reboot the system.
Counting that it's 41C outside and I'm without air conditioning my P is at 45C while gaming. Pretty good I'd say. Tho it's not XS...
Yeah it is an issue with these high power phones. Damn things get hot as hell.

Honestly I don't think it's normal. I have the exact same issue where my idle/sleep temp sits anywhere between 27 and 32 degrees. Doing some light tasks causes it to shoot up. Sometimes as high as 38 degrees (100 fahrenheit). At that point it just gets too hot to comfortably hold.
I've tried doing a factory reset, but that didn't solve anything for me. Not really sure what else is left to do. That's why I'm going to give my provider a call tomorrow and see if I can get it replaced.

How are you measuring the temperature? Mine gets hot as hell. According to CPU-Z the processors sometimes gets to 80 degrees Celsius ~ 176 Fahrenheit. The battery usually settle at 34 degrees Celsius while on heavy usage, but overall the phone gets really hot, sometimes uncomfortably so, but I never had any issues regardless, so I think that's normal.

no I mean Celsius...around 85 is the value HTC set throttle down the CPU to not overhead..around 30 is OK on the S6
and it's normal..and my phone not feels warm..it's really really OK..

I have used GSam in the past, it shows the same temp as CPU-Z uses for the battery. Life I said, it can easily get to 34 degrees, right now, for example, just from browsing XDA it is registering 33 degrees.
I guess this is the normal operation temperature. Unless you notice something odd happening, don't worry about it.

My phone heats up to 44 C
What is the Warning Level is it safe till 45 or 50 Celsius ?
It happens when
1) On use of Google Maps while driving
2) Charging
3) When i use Sandisk OTG, to the extent that it freezes & the Transfer stops
4) Even if i Record Videos sometimes
5) While wireless charging
This is really bad Never had such a Issue
Mine heats up under the following conditions:
Google Maps
Using WiFi analyzers
Fast charging
Weak Cell Phone Coverage
Heavy Web Browsing 5+ tabs open

Performance Throttling Overheating Device Temperature

The lower scored benchmark is at from idle of around 40C (CPU temp) while the phone is in the room. The higher scored is when I placed my phone in the freezer and let it cool down to around 28C (CPU temp).
Why is the phone so hot even at idle? Do you r phones go as high? What are your ambient temperatures? I'm in a tropical country and it is around 29C here right now.
The battery temp is only a degree or two lower than the CPU. It's terrible for the battery to be at this temperature.
Mine is around 36 C after 30 min of browsing . inside room temp is around 22 C.
Yeah, Mine also get so hot like 40 -45 like your after 20min of used.
But our Poco got cooling system right, then why like that?
My previous Moto z play was not like that ?, It was only heat while charging because of rapid charge.
It's coz of that garbage of IU called MiUI. Every update it screwed something.

Mine is sitting at 31.0 degree celcius. Could be that you have many things going in your background?
