[Q] Galaxy SIII Issues in ICS - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am facing heating issue in SIII at the bottom of the phone. While playing ASPHALT 7 or NFS MOST WANTED it gets heated up to temp 43 celsius. Is it a serious issue? Should i contact the samsung service centre as the phone is in warranty(Bought 2 weeks back) ?
Even while browsing or simply navigating through the menu for 5 min or more it gets a bit warm upto temp of 33-35 celsius
Is it normal for SIII running on ICS ?

It is normal that it heats up.
The processor have no cooler like a PC.
Nothing to worry about.

Is your GS3 heating more than it should?

So recently i got a htc one x but i was frustrated with the issues the one x had and and one of them was overheting man the phone was super hot when playing games it gos up to 54C and while playing a game you cant charghe your phone becuse it is going to overheat and htc says that is normal (maybe for them but not for me).So i got rid of one x and looking to get a GS3 so how are the temperatures in normal usage and in gaming my GS2 while playing GTA III is not going over 38C.
certainly NOT heat up, it will get warm when you shots video or 10xshots per second .

And what are the max temperatures?
There is an article over at Engadget where someone's Galaxy S3 bursts into flames and melts its own casing.

yeah i saw it that made me open this theard and i think the 2012 phones suck im thinking on going for the htc one s in the end god knows..
Only time my phone gets noticably hot is browsing XDA due to all the frigging adverts!
I seem to have found a combination of activities that can make it seem "hot"
I use a background radio streaming app over 3g, then if I play any kind of game - it runs quite hot, almost uncomfortably.
Mine stays at an average of 31 degrees consistently.

Mines' doing fine, base on SetCPU around 38'degrees for a full 30mins of Nova3 (clocked at 800Mhz, running all 4 cores i think) on my battery, not sure how warm my CPU is
Mine gets quite hot after using it on max brightness after awhile.

In usb host mode the usb port gets pretty warm >40c
Also, i'd imagine the cpu does get pretty warm given how much processing it does.

Samsung should promote this to the Alaskans as a combined entertainment/hand warming device.
so how are the temperatures do they go over 50 when gaming like 30-40mins like the one x i had my s2 while playing gta 3 wont go over 40c i played 1h and 6min
And how is the battery how much can do you get onscreen time? with one x i couldnt go over 2h and are there any issues with the phone like the one x had with screen flex/ripple yellow tint,hardware problems with wifi etc.. i realy expect an honest answer because i had the one x and it was only trubble dont want to make that mistake twice so im thinking galaxy s3 or htc one s
Same here.... Changed from HOX to SGSIII... The SGS get's warm while playing games. But it's ok... The HTC was f...... Hot.

I'm glad to hear that im not the only one that thinks the one x is getting sily hot when gaming aslo the phone overheats if you game and charghe the device at the same time
so its not hot as the one x?
what app youse using to find the temp ?
it is the battery that heat up. I try different battery, it give better result to cool down.

Heat and freezing up?!?

I bought the S3 4 days ago, the other night its was down to 15% battery. I plugged it and and surfed the web. about 20 mins in it got super hot and rebooted. today its been freezing up. did I break it? does that much heat hurt the oled screen. thanks
You might want to get it replace, some devices have heat issues.
i don't have such problems in my s3.
plz replace it immediately. because it is very costly device

Maximum heat it reached while playing asphalt 7 was around 46C and while charging around 38 till 41
So I think you should get it replaced

It's normal since the glass and back are really thin (its usually at the bottom of phone), mine does the same if you use it a lot and have the screen kept on
Nothing to worry about.
I would check your battety stats though and look for something called media, this scans your media making your s3 bit hot.

Hi i would like to share my exp. Before . After flashing jb for europe and poland my phone have unusual heat at the back.and the camera becomes fluffy.. I was worried i tot it was the jb for my s3 made in france... After i saw jb region: france ... I flash it was the right jb for my phone....

You're right. When looking at tje screen its the bottom right in the back of the phone. I would assume it to be due to project butter amd a forced constant fps

It's the CPU that's heating up, that's near the bottom of the phone, unless the temp is in the 70s (celcius) there is nothing to worry about. The CPU will automatically throttle itself if it gets too hot (can't remember the exact value on the Exynos 4400, someone will though)
If you overclock it will heat up more, demanding activities like playing games etc will heat it up more.
If you are really concerned you can download System Tuner, then in there go to settings, and choose notification packages, then you can download the temperature package, and enable it, this will show live updates showing the temperature of the CPU in the notification bar. System Tuner can be used as root to overclock etc, but to show information like frequency and temperature it does not require root.
If. Downgraded the phone and stopped it what would be the disadvantages performance wise?

Normal.
Just be glad it isn't an iPhone 4 or iPad 2, otherwise it would have self-combusted in your hands.
My S III gets REALLY hot when playing Asphalt 7, to the point of getting artifacts in the screen and eventually crashing the device.
I really don't care much about it. It is under warranty, so if I get any damage from that I'll harass Samsung so much they'll have to give me a new one.
When my phone was on ICS i never felt it getting warm while browsing the web, checking emails and changing system settings. Since upgraded to JB, I've noticed the phone was getting warm at the bottom (near the charging connector) 10 minutes after performing the above activities. The heat was definitely generated by the CPU, not the battery.
I used an app called Temp+CPU V2 from the Play Store to check CPU temperature. When the phone is on idle it hovers at around 25 degrees; after 10 minutes of use it goes up to around 35-38 degrees. By this point i can feel the bottom part of the phone was getting quite warm.
Can you guys test this and confirm whether your phones are behaving similar to mine?
Thanks!

Does for me, having it on uses less cpu making my s3 less hot but having it off can notice a big difference especially playing games and using internet.
My s3 just suffers from warmness now.
Up to you though

I was thinking ****ing it just downgrade it in the interest of the phones safety etc lol and wait till they release an update for project butter or jb etc etc... to finally sort this dam problem it it's probably nothing big but it does cause worries I always ha've mine on power save but it stays the same heat with games etc

You got a quadcore device in your hands. And it has no cooling whatsoever. So there's no wonder it gets hot when used. Especially playing games or similar stuff.

Galaxy s3 over heated problem please help :(

Hi guys my galaxy s3 gets over heated while using it
in battery drain analyzer it says 41 °c as temp
is this normal?

What claims your phone to be overheated?
Only that app or are there other indicators such as the phone being sluggish (it clocks down on overheat)
- Are you in a warm/hot region?
- Is the phone in a full body protective case
- are you overvolting / overclocking cpu or gpu?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I had the same problem with the galaxy s3 the bottom of my phone would always over heat and I think it happens to others my guess would he samsungs kernel there stock because after I flashed my phone and switched to a different kernel my phone quit over heating on the bottom

If you're running games that'll happen. That's where the chips are. If you're getting that while the phone is idle or something use watchdog or better battery stats to find what it is and stop it.

you may play heavy games?
not removing charger even after 100% is done?
many apps that run in background without your notice?
may be your wifi, gps ..etc are switched on?
'Overheating' is quite vague, is your phone able to fry an egg or does it simply feel warm? What are your battery temperature stats?

These days not playing any heavy games. Sometimes back i played heavy games for long tym bt it never get hot. I remove the charger immidiately as 100% completed. I have monitored through some apps, no apps are running. Wifi is off, i also tried whn even gps is off but no change. If u put phone for some minutes its cpu temp is around 38c and if than u use only for 5 to 10 mins ( surf net or even use normal) cpu temp becum 48-52c.

Battery temp is always 35+ c (even at standby),than if u use for couple of minutes it will becum 46-50c. And cpu temp is also at same range abd sumtyms 50+c. I replaced my battery with new one and also the mainboard has been replaced by samsung sc due to same problem bt problm didnt solved. Still same. On standby battery backup is gr8 but while using it draining so faster than ever.

even mine gets heated rapidly and even cools faster..thats a normal phenomenon i think..my highest temp was 61° when i played too much heavy games(nfs most wanted, gta VC) but nothing effected the battery life !if you have any effect on battery life better consult samsung care !

Previously no problem was there. I visited samsung sc for lcd change. Since then the prblm starts. After that they changed my battery nd board also. Bt problem remains. Is this due to lcd? Mine is continously 50c till m using. It cools only after few min standby.
