Had the same problem too....sometimes when the phone is hot, theres a delay between making calls and the phone actually dialling. For info i'm on standard kl3 rom rooted with cf kernel. Phone is on on demand gov standard speed 1.4ghz. Appreciate any help...thanks.

I'm running Abyss 2.3, 100 - 1400 with Smartass V2 Governor. And it works fantastic I must say. You might wanna try a new Kernel FM 1.5 or Abyss 2.3
It's normal for the CPU to warm up when you're playing games and anything causing the CPU to run at max for a long time.
Install CPU Spy from the market and make sure you're phone goes into deep sleep and monitor the other frequencies as well.
After installing new roms or kernels the phone usually gets warm as well. Just reboot and it should be okay after a couple of minutes. That's what I experienced on my Note

Mine is completely stock... Haven't even installed 3 apps yet. The phone is never in a case and the heat appears to originate from the camera area any thoughts or ideas or am I just over reacting?
Btw the phone doesn't slow down or act different operationally just gets warm lol

below 20% of battery power any device getting hot.
plus maybe you making hard time to processor

naw the phone is at 80 percent as well :/ i think im just over thinking lol the phone is operating like a champ just want to make sure its nothing serious

Mine gets pretty hot in same area wen playing games, its just the processor heating up, sure it for force close the app, if it couldn't handle it!

Yeah.. Any processor will get hot when running. Remember there's nothing to keep it cool! So I think if you put it on your cheek and it stings after a while there may be a problem. Otherwise it's pretty normal for the Note.

First of all Hi.
I dont think that NOBODY here in this forum understand that your (and mine) 4X HD is HOT more than 40 degrees celsius hot.
I got this same problem I dont solve it even I got the device in service center to get check and the mother fu^%$rs told me that it is FINE.
SO PLEASE. AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH 40 DEGREES CELSIUS WHILE PLAY GAMES OR ALL OF YOU PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM...
IS THIS REALLY NORMAL???
Can you people test the processor tempereture with some app and post result??/
PS galaxy s3 is COLD while playing games and such.

It's Tegra
I can get mine to 56°c if I want to, but then it turns off.
So 40° sounds normal to me.

Mine heats up as well , the screen has to dim sometimes...

jb8503 The screen is not the problem, CPU is, this can be very bad problem

This is normal
Also this issue's thread is very normal too next time just try and search before creating new thread it will help you getting answers without waiting as well as keeping the forum clean.
Now to help you just root your phone and under clock your CPU to 1.2ghz it will help you a lot. I am using "CPU Tweaks app" for the purpose and it works way to good for me.
1.2 ghz is enough even for high end HD games - Tegra 3 is very good with games
"CPU Tweak" Setting :-
CPU: 4 core clocked at 1.2 ghz
gov: OnTheDemand

Mine is always on 50~51 celcius after 10 minutes playing ANY game on ANY brightness setting. Don`t like it, but that`s how it is, every time, with or without a case.

mine too!
I had my tab 2 for months now but lately the battery started heating up. I don't know what caused this. is this normal? what are the factors that can contribute for a battery to heat up upto 40 degrees C. will some of the factors be kernel and rom?

My Phone temp. too HOT ??

HEllo Im new here ,, this is a stupid question but I just wanna ask the optimal temp of smartphone because my s advance temp looks kinda hot specially the upper part of the phone ranging from 37 to 41 degrees celcious when opening aps and games,, this is definitely hotter than the first time i bought it,,

Its normal I think..
I mean its normal and OK until the phone actually stops responding and/or behaves abnormally.... And you will get a message/notification that it is overheated and will automatically turn off (or reboot) - I'm just guessing because I never saw it on my phone but I once saw it "partially" on my friend's S3 once...
One more thing... The phone usually heats up a bit while its charging.... The same thing applies when you are playing games or browsing the internet for a long time...
Sent from my SGSA... If my post(s) helped you in any way then please wish me Good Luck for my exams!

mmm.. yeah my phone does not exp. force shutdown or reboot yet so I think its fine for now ..
I google a little and i found out that overheating is one of the sign of battery problem..
Im a heavy user like Im using it almost everyday(playing games etc.) so Im suspecting it might be a hardware problem or maybe BAttery problem, and I hope it just a battery probem but my phone is just 7 months old, and phone battery should last a year or two, but considering my heavy use it might be.,, so Im gonna try to replace my battery Thank you anyway for your reply and good luck

Hmm.. its upto you, whether you want to change your battery or not... and yes too high temperature will reduce its overall "life".. but I still think both your phone and your current battery is ok because smartphones (usually the ones with more than one CPU) usually heat up a bit when it is used for a long time

YEs it maybe still on good condition, but in a 1 hour palytime at the temp. of 41 °C is very uncomfortable to me. this is like holding a child with a super high grade fever with your hands,, and it applys to all games i played.,
By the way may I ask what is your phone highest temp. during playing games??

Im using the app Du Battery Saver it has a notification that contains a battery temperature I think this is pretty much the phone temp itself. I used diiferent "thermo app thing" the result is pretty much the same so I think its accurate,,

Ok Thanks...
My current phone temperature is 32 degrees... I just used it to talk with my Dad..
So yeah I'm pretty sure if I play GTA VC now that temp will rise to +40 degrees...

On my P model the temerature never (i mean NEVER) rised beyond the level that it would feel uncomftable... I think your phone !might! be faulty but I'm not sure about it

Install a software to monitor the life and temp of the battery

Overheating!!!!

Guys, I don't know but Note gets heated up a lot from the camera Side.. the battery remains cool though.. what is this?. can It be stopped. I guess your notes must have been suffering from this? any solution?

Heating ....how much...generally while charging it gets heated up. Try some google aps any of those battery savers...they have an option to show the temperature. Also are you always of Wifi...if so your screen is sure to generate heat, which is normal.
Above all if it gets heated if you are not charging and not on Wifi does it cool down ? Considering your battery charge is above 70%.

The phone heats up near the camera because that is where the CPU is located.
Running 3D games and other apps that require the phone to run at high CPU frequencies will heat up your phone.
If you want to avoid heat completely, then you need to look into Under Clocking and Under Volting.
It's simpler with a rooted phone and a tool like Rom Toolbox Pro.
Under Clocking is where you limit the max CPU frequency the phone can use.
By default the Note is limited to 1400MHz, set the maximum frequency to a lower level, e.g. 1000MHz.
Under Volting is where you limit the current the CPU draws from the battery at certain frequencies.
Make sure you do some serious reading on XDA before you Under Volt, supplying too little current to the CPU will make the phone unstable and potentially corrupt data.
The advantages of Under Clocking and Under Volting are reduced heat and better battery life.
The disadvantages are potentially poorer performance in 3D games and other intense apps, and instability if Under Volted too far.
Hope this helps explain what you are experiencing and some potential mitigation.

HTC ONE charging but still losing battery when playing 3D games

This is my first android phone, but is it normal if I am playing 3D games (Real racing 3) while charging but its still losing battery?
Often it ended up being 1% power and shuts off by itself.
It does charge when i close the phone or jsut browse the net.
Should i be worried or?

No, Real Racing can really eat up a lot of power. I've seen it touch up to 1200mAh and the charger can only provide a maximum of 980mAh or so. Also, realllly not recommended to charge and play demanding games at the same time

How about bad piggies.. lol it also loses battery but very very slowly
Also.... to play demanding games u need to charge!!! lol or else u run out of battery in no time!~

Bad Piggies should be absolutely no issue lol. Heck, you can play it with Power Saver on and it wouldn't affect the game a bit.
Well...unless you want to play demanding games for hours on end, then I really suggest you not to charge and play at the same time. For one, the added heat pushes temps up, and the One throttles at 40 degrees. Anything above that and it kicks the CPU speed down a few notches till it's under 40 again.
