Hi, I just bought new 16GB Samsung Galaxy Note for almost 2 weeks. Default Android OS version is 2.3.6 and no flashing any 3rd party ROMs or Root.
While surfing internet (or downloading) for few minutes, I notice that temperature will increase to 42~44 Degree Celsius (can feel it's w arm on back). If charging & surfing simultaneously, it even increases tremendously up to 52 Degree or higher. Can feel even warmer but luckily still NOT SO HOT "yet". Nevertheless, I still worry if this could damage the phone or burning the motherboard inside.
(I installed "Battery Indicator Pro" on Note to check the temp.)
Is this normal condition for Note? Any experience this? Any help to solve it? Thanks.
Seems normal. Phone turns off automatically if it gets too hot. I'm on LC1 firmware CF-Root LC1 kernel, I don't have overheat problems even if I use it while charging. Always stays below 48ยบ.
Have you upgraded to latest firmware? If so, the stock browser has it's own brightness settings. Mine were set fairly high and wondered why I had extra battery drain, maybe worth lowering them?

In my country, the latest firmware version is LA1 only & I have upgraded too. The brightness of stock browser has been set to the lowest (though I still feel it's brighter).
If temp quite higher, seems like not so convenient to hold the phone with longer period while surfing internet...

This is an annoying and frustrating issue. I thought it was lte but it did it today on wifi. I thought my backup anker battery was to blame but it does it on the stock battery too. It seems to do it when the battery gets too hot. It will restart eventually without battery pulling but typically it'll be in safe mode and when i restart all my non sense widgets will be removed and my keyboard will be set to default. Anyone have any possible solutions?

What rom are you on? Are you over clocked?
Stock ics unrooted locked bootloader no significant changes

There may be something in the OS that shuts down apps, or the whole phone, when it gets too hot. The phone is going to try to protect itself from overheating. I seem to recall earlier threads from last fall on this subject. What else do you have running that could be turned off? Is the phone inside a case that could be removed to allow for more air exposure?
Last weekend, I was running navigation software (CoPilot), my bluetooth connection for phone calls, and had the screen brightness turned up so I could see the navigation screen in the sunlight. The phone was plugged into the car charger. I got a message telling me that the charger could not keep up with the demand. I turned down the screen brightness and that seemed to solve the problem.
I am using a custom ROM and have not had those problems and I use Pandora everyday for at least an hour. May be something to try.

It usually does it on lte most of all. I do have a heavy duty otterbox commuter on but its needed for my job. Im a stocker at Lowes. I think i found the cause of my problem today on wifi. I was playing with a siri clone called jeanie from the market. The app is a bit laggy so i dont think its optimized for ice. I noticed earlier my phone was getting warm while playing with it so i disabled from running in the background. I left it on just in case they update it and it gets better
Is there anyway to disable lte and just use hspa+/3G. Not only does my phone run hotter on lte it also has poor battery life. I dont need 36meg download speeds to run pandora

I don't know for sure, but in the play store there's an app 'LTE Switch'

I could not find a specific app called LTE Switch. I found several apps that said they turned LTE on or off. However, they appeared to be for specific phones or carriers.
No app on the market works. Most will take you to a hidden settings page with a drop down menu that you can disable it with...however the menu is locked, and regardless of your choice it'll select GPRS/HSPA+/LTE auto mode. I tried the APN trick but no luck there either, LTE logo was still in the notification bar, and speed tests backed it up...40meg download on both.
I think your phone getting hot may be a red herring.
I have the same problem. I always play pandora over bluetooth, and the phone will arbitrarily shut off just as you've described, but I've checked the past few times and the phone wasn't hot at all (and I've definitely felt it hot while doing other things before).
A few minutes later the phone will reboot in normal mode, but every time this happens the bluetooth antenna will not turn back on until I reboot it again.
Also stock, unrooted, ICS
Yeah same thing here! The past time it did it it also deleted all non HTC widgets.
I was using my anker battery that day and I am realizing it overheats easier than the stock HTC battery and also realizing it will drain like crazy after it overheats. I try to only use that battery at home while my stock one is charging. It'll still do it on the stock battery but not as often. Overall though LTE is the issue here. Funny thing is this phone is actually very energy efficient when its not on LTE. It's a major fail you can't turn it off. It's obviously AT&Ts doing, because its straight locked.

I'm going to leave my otterbox off for 24 hours and try to play Pandora over LTE tommorrow and see if it helps
Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA using XDA
No otter box no case at all and same thing. Battery cover very warm and phone instantly shuts off. I'm really starting to loose my patience. It sucks because otherwise the phone is excellent but this single issue has me contemplating trying to negotiate a different phone from at&t. It might sound like alot to stream Pandora over the air and Bluetooth but I did this with my captivate for a year with no issues. Having lte isn't the point either because I don't need 36 meg downloads to play 128k bit rate streaming and its supposed to switch to hspa+ when I don't need it. Anyway I'm contemplating a factory reset to see if it helps. I went straight from gingerbread to ics without wiping and didn't have the issue on gb
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
A thought I just had was maybe its the Pandora app its self causing the issue. A recap of everything:
Didn't happen on gingerbread
Removing case doesn't help
Aftermarket battery or stock battery doesn't matter
Won't shut off when using wired headphones or speaker
Won't shut off with wifi on
Google Music works fine regardless only does this with Pandora
So I'm coming to the conclusion Pandora is not optimized for ics or maybe mine isn't. I installed Pandora on gb so the upgrade may have not translated well for it.

Slacker is a good suggestion, been using slacker for years now. Very data light also, left it running while I slept one night by accident and hit "maybe" 500 megs in eight hours

Pandora is also very easy on data caps but Google music isn't at all. Oddly Google music doesn't overheat the battery though. My guess is Google music is smart enough to see hspa+ and use it while Pandora just uses whatever is available.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Yeah google music wrecks my data. I personally haven't havent used Pandora since updating but I imagine its probably a wake lock issue with the phone overheating. It might be keeping the phone from sleeping properly and over taxing it. (Mind you I'm speaking out of my butt and really don't know if that's the case) I know using rdio/slacker for 8 hours I don't have any heat issues on ics at all. And with the new kernels available the battery life is a lot better

Yeah I'll definitely give slacker a try. I've never been crazy about the Pandora app anyway. Gets the job done but its basic and boring

Hi, so i got my one yesterday and i am pretty impressed but there is something i noticed and i want to ask, if someone else has noticed it. I played the game real racing 3 for like 10 minutes and it worked flawlessly. but after this 10 minutes it suddenly started to lag. My handset was really really hot at this moment... i also noticed that in 3d mark in the physics test. I had like 45 fps and then they dropped to like 15 after a short period. So is my device damaged or something or is this normal? I have not rooted it or anything, so it has still the stock rom and stock kernel.

Well first thing I would do is backup all your data. Wouldnt be nice to loose all of that when trying to fix your device. My guess is that your GPU Chip on the SoC is a weakling. I had the same problem on my One X. It had super fast CPU but an under average GPU. To be sure you need to factory reset your device that will remove everything off your one. After you need to install a benchmark app like the same one before so you can see if you have any improvement. I also want you to install Antutu so I can compair it to my results.

If your phone is running smoothly and you're fine with the experience, then stop worrying about benchmarks. They're useless.

Around 22000 on antutu is normal. Anywhere around the 21k to 25k range is for the HTC One. Mine does 23881-ish on antutu but not every device is the same.
My guess is that the overheating issue is causing the lower FPS. If your in a very hot State your device would run warmer. Something silly like this can cause any device not run at optimal speeds.
Using the HTC one for gaming mostly could make it run at hotter temps so a thing called thermal throttling comes in.
The Snapdragon S600 will lower the CPU and GPU clocks if your device is running too hot. Sadly its hard to avoid it but it stops the One from breaking and cooking your hands.
The next step is to see if your HTC one is running too hot.

I am getting overheating issue
I have the same issue. After using phone around 10 minutes, aluminium body becomes hot. I don't play games but general browsing, playing music etc. I purchased from Walmart and thought it is just specific to my device only. But just found that it is general issue to everyone. I have already asked Walmart to replace the device. But I guess I should not make a hope that replacement device will not have heat issue.
Not really overheating just a small side effect if the all aluminum build, metal is more prone to temp.

Was fine. now overheating.
My phone was working fine for the past week, but just went crazy hot yesterday, and seems to be getting warm easily now. It got hot playing Ingress, but I had been playing ingress for hours at a time without the issue, so I'm confused. I can't think that I did anything remarkable to my phone in that time, but it's certainly running hot. The only thing that might impact it is the use of the app Lux to dim the screen better. I haven't had a problem with that on my previous phone, and I'm not sure when I installed it vs. when I started having overheating issues.
Today, I also got the superuser request for "resetnotify" which may be called by HTC internal code. Not sure if that's relevant, but there it is.
Overheats with battery drain
My One overheats occasionally. I don't have to be doing anything and I have to reboot for it to cool down. I think it's done it 3 times now, and I think all these times are since I rooted and flashed the 1.29 international ROM. nothing out of the ordinary installed.
I will try and get some information next time it does it too try and see what is going on....
Install teamseven kernel and undervolt by 50 mv, my phone doesnt heat up any more. Gets a little warm while playing games or browsing which is normal

I love this phone, but the up and down issues are disappointing. One day I have really good battery life and the next day the opposite. Apps unfortunately like Pandora are still closing in the background. I am now debating if rooting and throwing a rom is worth breaking the warranty. Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm also considering rooting. I always used to with previous phones, but this time around I just haven't felt like it. I was hoping the latest OTA would improve the battery life...nah. Maybe a debloated rom like Xtrestolite would do the trick.
I feel very strongly that I shouldn't have to install a different rom or turn off certain features in order to have good battery life. Samsung should have made the phone thicker (bigger battery). I'm also shocked at the ram management of this phone.

You really shouldn't have to flash a ROM just to get what you paid for but unfortunately that's the case with the S6 and even then it isn't the phone it should be.
So flashing a ROM will help improve battery life, RAM management (biggest issue imo), and performance. When I ran stock experienced lag when I connected to WiFi, the phone will just slow to a crawl on top of that there were lag issues I was having when typing, switching apps (on top of apps having to reload!), and even just unlocking/locking the screen.
I emphasized improve because it's still nowhere near it should be, like at all. I still occasionally experience outbursts of lag that requires me to restart but it's better than before. I'm having serious buyers remorse with this phone and already made up my mind to jumping to another phone (eyeing the new Moto X Pure and Nexus 5) and ditching Samsung phones for the rest of forever.
I agree. I don't want to have to root in order to be plagued with the same problems.

Rooting this phone saved it for me, before I had to recharge twice a day and was lucky if I even got 1-2 hours of SOT. Now I get 16-18 hours with 4-5 hours SOT consistently. Root it and you won't regret it!

I did the Rapture 2.1 rom with unikernel v6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...pment/romrapture-v1-0uvu2cof67-22-15-t3162603
Make sure to upgrade your baseband and bootloader, this instructions are in the file. Best rom I have used to date.
Thinking of jumping over to a Nexus in 5 months =/
As I came from a Nexus 5 and was already accustomed to having to charge frequently, the battery life has been fine, perhaps even 10-20% better than my old N5. I can't stand music apps shutting down and my LTE connection is wonky. If I go into an elevator and lose signal, I have about a 10% chance it won't reconnect to LTE after exiting until I reboot. My camera makes weird noises and has the ripple effect when launching. I also still haven't figured out why it vibrates every once in awhile with no apparent corresponding notification. After paying half what I paid for the S6 for my previous 2 phones, the Nexus 4 & 5, I had very high expectations for the S6. I think photo quality is about the only category where it has met or exceeded my expectations. My nexus devices also held their resale value very well while the S6 is tanking fast.

The camera noise is the camera senor optimizing.
You can change the ripple effect under lock screen> unlock effects.
The random vibrations is a new feature Samsung added in 5.1.1. It is actually an indicator that an app has crashed and most of the time you don't know what even crashes.
Doing a factory reset would help you if the LTE issue. Even I dont get LTE in an elevator, but it always comes back.
Yeah can't knock the photo quailty. Really hope samsung fixes the current issues before they release the note 5 and edge.

this is my first samsung product since i had the note 2. i gave up on them for years. i love the s6, great design, premium feel, good sound and much better battery life than my nexus 5 had. no remorse here at all. it really is like having a iphone made for android. its also refreshing to not have to have cm nightlies to flash daily, frees up more of my time. although aosp would be a beast on this device.

You will, trust me. Used a S6 for a week, ditched it already for a 3rd Gen Moto G, and that has 1GB of ram. It still multitasks better and runs smoother. I am waiting for the new Nexus. Take a look at this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQR5B-KuQ1M
While the Moto G cannot touch the S6 in terms of camera, display, and gaming performance, general tasks are much more smoother. I think Samsung git it out of the park with design, but not in software.
As others have said, the camera is fantastic, but there RAM management is absurdly bad. My device lags badly every day, despite resetting the device and clearing system cache. I get a weird vibration when taking pictures if I accidentally tap the side of the phone. Tasker cannot effectively work because it keeps getting killed (RAM management), Pandora rarely works correctly (RAM management), and apps constantly reload (RAM man- you know). I love the design and the camera, but holy cow it isn't worth it. I'm waiting until the next set of phones are out in the fall, then I'm switching (probably to the new Moto X).

I am coming from a s5 and had a m9 for a few weeks that I loved but needed to return due to cracked camera lens so I gave the s6 a try had the s6 for a little over a month and I was feeling the same way about a week or so ago don't know why it took so long to sink in just seems like the os started to get worse over time lag battery life etc, I came close to buying a g4 and thought about selling my s6 online. So I caved in, broke knox, installed rapture rom and now I have been getting around two days on a full charge, I haven't had much time for heavy use this week but its a lot better than having 50% by lunch. I feel that this should hold me off till the sd820 hits the market. I don't think I'll return to samsung anytime after this device. It's just sad that they have teams of people to make a device and a few people on xda can make it run so much better. It almost seems like they are being held back on purpose I guess to get people ready for the s7 next year. Either way if you are stuck with the device then ask yourself if knox is really a big deal, if you are within return policy then send it back! you should be happy with what you pay for.
I know I will root at some point. I'm just holding off for the time being. BTW camera is awesome lol

I'm considering rooting and trying Rapture 2.1. After 3 months with this phone, I was hoping that the stock ROM would be fine as is. In the past with other ROMs, I've noticed that the stock ROM is decent and the constant flashing of ROMs may not be worth it for me. The laggy experience and the terrible battery life with the current T-Mobile ROM makes me want to root and flash a better ROM.
Any downsides of flashing another ROM besides the following:
1. Losing warranty if you trip KNOX
2. No Samsung Pay functionality when it is released?
About 5 days ago my phone gained these charming traits...
Random lag, 10-45 seconds of completely unresponsiveness that always hits within 5 minutes of using it
Random reboots, sometimes after the lag sometimes just a reboot
Sometimes it restarts automatically, sometimes it just dies
Loses wifi, then lags, but wifi won't connect until I reboot
The lag always hits when I get a large number of texts at once or try to type a lot
I've tried...
Streaming music, does fine until I try to use the interface
Removing the sd, no improvement
Factory reset, no improvement
Odin to stock, no improvement
Yelling at it, no improvement but slightly cathartic
Switching to stock batteries from ankers, no improvement
Switching off swiftkey, no improvement
About my phone
Stock marshmallow, used to be rooted but that was back in kitkat days
Ran flawlessly for 22 months
No recent drops or tumbles
Well tested, I spend 20 hours plus a week on the phone with over ten thousand texts a month for work. Never had anything like this, even on lollipop
I have a note 7 on preorder but I'm disappointed in the direction the note line went and would much rather get another year out of this awesome phone or at least wait for the v20/nexus options. Any ideas awesome guru folk?
