Phone gets hot

Have you guys noticed that this phone gets hot fairly quickly during use? Also seems to suck the battery down pretty fast, too. By product of faster processor compare to the Note 2?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Haven't had any issues. Everything is comparable or better than note 2 with the same usage patterns so far. Going to try some games (like Nova 3) and asphalt to see how it does.

Mine certainly gets pretty warm with regular use. Battery also is not what I was hoping for. I am new to android and the note phones though so am trying to mess around with changing settings and such.

I have a thin case on mine. I notice no heat whatsoever. Also, I've never had better battery life. I use the hell out of it, too. My Note 1 and my Captivate were power hogs, though. That's all I have to compare it to.

Personally, i love the battery life on this phone. Thats coming from an S4. I used to have to put my S4 on the charger before the end of the day because it was in the yellow. Thats from around 740 in the morning til around 6 in the evening. Now, on the same usage, with the Note 3, by around 9 at night the battery is still sitting around 50%.

Wow, any special settings you are using? I am already charging my device today as I was bellow 50% with only a little over 2 hours of screen useage.

There has to be an app running amok, or you are in a bad signal area, or you have every possible setting on to be charging that often unless you have a bad battery. I usually get about 4 hours screen time over 24 hours and usually have 45 to 50% left. Just did 24 hours with 4 hours screen, 2 hours music listening while mowing my yard and downloaded 2.5 GB of data over LTE and had 39% left.

I have a lot of the extra settings turned off. I have power saver on for screen management. Wifi scanning for apps is off. Bluetooth on only when I need. Screen brightness set to auto. Phone is running stock ROM, no rooting. It often feels warm around the camera area. I have been consistently running out of juice by about 12 to 13 hours of use. I don't know....

Pretty much the same settings as mine. I leave GPS on always. Do not use the power saving management features.
Try going into developer options and limiting the number of background activities to 3 or 4 and see if this helps any.

Update. Got mine to 103 F using Skype whilst whilst video talking.
Talking of which the Skype app is ****e compared to IOS version . I couldn't even disable external speaker no option, also when I put the phone to my ear the external speaker is still engaged as is the front facing camera POOH!

No issue here either.....phone is alot faster...battery life is insane....i have never had battery like this with my note 2....i can run for days without charging....great device...highly recommended........you might have a bad unit....you figure they push these out so fast...your bound to get a few duds...i would return for new one.....just my 2 cents.....

I've had no issues with mine but my girlfriend has had a weird charging issue once. In the middle of charging it stopped and said that it was over heating. Thought that was pretty odd seeing as how she wasn't using it at all.

I was able to get mine to heat up significantly by running benchmarks 5 times in a row and then running asphalt 7. Not normal usage so I am not to worried about it.

unbearably HOT
Today I was listening to mp3 music off the memory card and noticed the phone got unbearably HOT and battery drain was around 50% in less than 2 hours.
This is normal usage and it should never get warm for playing mp3 music.
I am curious to know how many have a heating issue.
Looks like mine is going to be replaced.

No heat what so ever.... Battery life amazing and that is with pretty much everything on!

There is most likely something running in the background causing this. I listen to mp3s for several hours nonstop off my SD card without any heating issues. Try killing all apps and clearing memory with the task manager then run the music app and see if the heating issue persists.

Well, for the last few days I was not happy with battery life and was getting a lot of warmth on the back as well around the camera. Last night I shutdown the phone totally and rebooted. Had a few updates pop up for some Samsung apps when the phone booted up. Today, battery has been quite stellar. No real warmth either. I am at 70% charge at end of the day with 11 hours on battery and 2 hours screen time. Interested to see if this continues tomorrow. I would recommend shutting down the phone and reboot to see how it goes.

Yeah, I hear ya bro. I initially was very happy with this phone and I mostly still am. But little things are starting to wear on me and I've been having thoughts of jumping ship.
The community for this phone is surprisingly the least active of any phone that I've ever owned. It's kind of a downer. I understand the whole locked bootloader thing, but it seems like interest is low in this phone but I'm not sure why other than the locked bootloader.
Another reason is the wifi issues. I frequently get the unstable connection message and lately my wifi performance has been terrible. I can't even watch a YouTube video without it constantly buffering.
And it seems like there is no fix in sight from Samsung. Not sure when or if there will ever be a fix.
I got in on that $150 promo code for the Moto X and I'm heavily considering getting one as an extra phone worst case scenario. But if I somehow like it, I might dump this phone and make a little profit in the process. Not sure yet.

I'm not having any issues with WiFi? I.m currently using a Belkin router on 2.4 and 5.0 GHz. You don't have a metal case on do you? Or anything near your router that could be interfering?
I personally wouldn't get rid of your phone either ...You have to remember this phone is still newer, Wait till after Christmas and watch how many more at&t note 3 users come...Development is still young I've seen this stage in almost all my experiences with prior phones.

What could be killing my battery so quickly?

It seems that Android System uses a really high amount of battery, and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas, or would know how to find out.
My battery lasts around 5 hours anymore, doing the same thing I used to do when it lasted 17+.
Any help would be super appreciated.

I noticed that on 4.3, yeah, the phone radio was the biggest consumer of battery, butconsidering your usage, perhaps screen usage should be greater. Regardless, you're getting 4SOT/23.5SBY which is far better than I'm getting (2.5/14) on KK. lol
If you think about it, if nothing is waking your device, the phone radio is the only thing using power during sleep. So I guess it makes sense.

How about this? Supposing it has to do with the end of charge mechanic of the cpu, but it's worth a check.
Perhaps the battery is just going bad, after a year?

Well that's a bit extreme. You need Google Services for a lot of things, and that app is central to the android experience.

tbh it's hard to tell. I would say do a TI backup and flash something fresh. If you like JB, I think viper 3.5 is good for you.
You could also try calibrating your battery. I did it, and it seems to have had, at the very least, a slight placebo effect .

A bit of insider information, in a repair facility, devices are regularly put in a dehydration oven that reaches 150 degrees. While the device is inoperable at that temperature, no damage is caused. Also, while repairing screens, the device is sometimes heated to higher temperatures. Batteries are removed for that process but the only thing really at risk is the digitizer.

Sharp battery drops. Problem with device, rom or battery?

I regularly have scenarios like this.
- phone is at 27% battery
- few minutes later it beeps and shows 14%
- 30 seconds later - 5%
- few more seconds and it shuts down.
I don't run anything special and through the day it lowers steady (although 100 to 27 in 12 hours is not that great).
I run official 5.0.1 rom and never unlocked bootloader.
So is it a problem with a phone, the battery or just OS that sucks?
Anyone else having the issue?

Nothing unusual running. I think Android OS was main battery user, may be with hour and half of screen time.
In this specific instance I was running Toyota app while driving.
But similar things happened before without those factors. And mostly it worked ok in the car as well.

Sorry I forgot that was in your OP. Did you look at the battery to see if it was hot or bulging even slightly? Personally for the $15 it takes to get a new battery, I would. Worst case scenario is you end up with a spare. I don't know how old your device (and this your battery) is, but it's not uncommon after 9+ months for them to start dying.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Yes, it probably makes sense to get new battery. I got the phone last November or December but problem started early summer. Seems pretty short time for battery to go bad.
Thank you

It's not unheard of by any stretch. Heat will kill them fast as well. Does the phone ever get hot?

I haven't noticed it being hotter than other phones I used. Yet I carry it in external pouch so would not always feel it.
It definitely wasn't hot when battery was dropping.
More over, last time I turned it off for 3 hours at 14% and when turned it on, drop just continued and it was 5% in 30 seconds.

I got not only a new battery but a new phone and have been experiencing a similar problem. Seriously might just jump ship to the N5. Any suggestions on what else to try? I really don't want to shell out $20 for yet another battery if it's not guaranteed to fix anything. I'm running PopRocks v14 with the stock kernel. Any suggestions?

I had the exact same issue. It was from letting the battery die too often. A new battery fixed the issue 100%
