Is there any heating in the main lower speaker area of the phone when it is in use....
Mine gets heated when volume is high but the sound is good....
So I was worried if it is only for me or everyone....can anyone help me get the matter clear...?
It mainly heats the lower right corner of the phone.... specially at the back

I was playing games on my phone for an hour or two and noticed in the top right of the screen about where the power button is, it was getting really hot. Just on the screen face. I took my cover off and felt around the back and it was cool. But it was getting noticeably hot when touching that part on the screen. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yeah..must be where the CPU/gpu is

I'm worried about Heat for my phone E4GT too.
Idle, it's around 27c, which isn't bad at all.
But during usage it jumps to 34-37c, and wireless tethering causes it to go 49c.
My GTX 570 runs idle at 37c, that's fairly cool for a GPU but my knowledge in phone hardware isn't nearly as great.
What kind of temps can this phone handle?
Same issue here I m so pissed

The highest mines gotten so far was 116F but it was charging with my HTC charger and i was playing a game. The odd thing was the main part that was really hot to the touch was the top of the screen near the ear piece and it wasn't just warm it was hot. But that's only happened about 2 times now.

Third phone and still experiencing heat issue
I have changed my phone twice at Sprint and, for each one of them I have experienced the heat issue. Sometimes, the temperature goes as high as 53 degrees. I am not sure what exact combination causes this problem. I have seen it with or without 4G on - charging it makes it worse. Rebooting seems to help.
Makes me worry about this phone. I really like this phone but I definitely don't want to deal with a heat issue.
Heh, just try using this phone with zedomax's kernel set at 1.5ghz and playing Dungeon. Hunter HD II for an hour . . . it gets blazing hot! No performance issues through, only immense heat
Guys
I got my phone activated. The earpiece gets warm, even a little hot but not totally tolerable during a phone conversation. I actually like the feeling in the winter and won't mind carrying on with it
However, I'm concerned if this would affect the phone's life
Thanks
I agree... mine does the same thing. It worries me a little bit. It feels just like a when I overclocked my OG Droid too much

I would be more concerned about how it would affect your health than the life of the phone. I had a BlackBerry 9700 that did that and I started getting migraines shortly after that. It kept happening so I called tech support and they told me that's not normal and they sent me a brand new replacement immediately. I would suggest you guys go back to the place of purchase and get it replaced. Or at least see if the other devices are the same.
Gotta melt that wax somehow. But seriously, give your phone a week to break in, maybe flash an undervolt kernel if you're willing and then see what's up. If the heat still feels uncomfortable, you might want to exchange it.

Is it heat from the earphone itself, or the heat from the back of the phone (next to the camera)? When I web browse/play games for short periods of time it sometimes become very uncomfortable to hold the phone.

Yeah mine gets really hot when web browsing either 3g or 4g
I saw today temps got as high as 115 F
and screen was really hot
I'm pretty sure it's from supersonic waves.
I was reading on the Note 8 the other day and started noticing that the left side of the tablet gets pretty warm/hot. Is it just me or does anyone else have this issue? The rest of the tablet remains cool- just the left side around the middle.

This issue already discussed before. It is quite normal for a device to get some heat. Anyway, I think there is a big difference between warm and hot. If your device really gets HOT, then it is a problem. My device gets warm as well as you described, but I wouldn't say it gets hot or uncomfortable to hold. I think the temperatures quite similar to my SGS3.
CPUs and GPUs put out heat. Batteries put out heat. The more intensive the activity (particularly watching video, gaming, internet use and GPS) the more heat will be generated. This is a fact with all tablets, and computers in general. I'd think it was strange if the device didn't get warm somewhere. Heat on the left side is completely normal, although not sure what component (CPU, battery, etc.) is located there.
Now its impossible to tell what OP means exactly by "warm" or "hot" as this are not quantitive in any way. It shouldn't get hot enough to be uncomfortable (or even hurt) to hold in any way. Excessive heat may be an indicator of a faulty battery or some other hardware defect. But usually not. And the device will shut itself down long before a temperature is reached, that will hurt anything (if that is what you are worried about).
There are ways for the system to tell you the temperature, but I think its only at one location (CPU?) which may not be the problem area. So measuring this way may have limted usefulness in real life.
That is the location of the cpu unit so I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets very disconcertingly hot.

Im using the Sansung OEM cover. Holding it in portrait mode, mine gets "warm" on the left side near the edge... but only when its in my pocket and its in sleep mode and wifi is turned off. Kinda fels like my BlackBerry when its polling for a tower, it gets real warm. I have a N5110 wifi no radio so trying to determine why the warm up.
Regards,
Heat "problem"?

My Galaxy Note 8 has this problem. I installed an app which read the temperature and it reaches 40°C when I play video games. It has the power saving mode on. Is it normal? I'm worried about this

i've installed diagnosis app to check the temp, mine reaches ~40C(i think this is the battery temp) when i play also. so i think many of us is experiencing this *____*
Just with normal use the left side of my unit is getting annoyingly warm. Hopefully they can fix this with an update or something. I'm experiencing this on stock, anyone on custom software experiencing this too?

Hey thanks for all your input guys. It's good to know I'm not the only one experiencing these problems. So far, I don't think it's bothering me to the point that I wish to call Samsung up for a replacement. It does get a bit warmer especially if I have the pen out and writing some notes. I do also understand it's more than likely that the cpu is located there but I've never had a warming problem w/ other smartphones and tablets I've had.
Either way, thanks for all the input!
I agree

I agree with you, my father's got an iPad mini and the gadget doesn't present warming problems and battery life is much better. Do you think all Note 8 devices present the same problem? I'm thinking seriously of replace mine for a brand new Note 8.0 but if it presents the same problem, I'll be wasting my time...
My Nexus 7 produces static noise near the top of the device (in portrait) when the CPU is loaded (in game). It's easily noticeable when the speakers are muted. Exit the game and the noise immediately goes away. I don't think it's speaker noise because on the bottom side of the device I can barely hear it, probably just the same noise traveling thru the device from top to bottom. And it doesn't seem to be buzz from the screen backlight because it wouldn't depend on CPU load.
Anyone else has that?
Is this normal buzzing from the components? or could it be that I have a faulty capacitor or something in there that might end up failing?
I don't want to risk an exchange before determining if this is not common/normal since the only problem that I have otherwise is a mushy volume up button, which I can live with since it's still mostly functional.
Happens on all the games you tried? Strange.

It happens on any high CPU load. Even YouTube and opening a heavy app like AccuWeather triggers it.
It sounds like electric static noise not speaker static noise if that makes any sense. Like a bad PSU.

Well if you think it is a real issue you should RMA. That sucks. Hopefully you will get a better one.
Mine is on a truck right now. I hope it is good. Starting to have my doubt's after reading the sound issues.

It is the game, the volume control on this device is cheap and emits a static noise. The reason why you don't hear it out of the second speaker is because most games don't have support for stereo sound.

It seems to have quieted down. Couple of days ago I noticed it when I was in bed with the device at normal distance from my head. Now, same situation, I have to put my ear against the top part to even hear it.
I doubt it's speaker related because I just tried 3Dmark which has no sound + I had the sound muted and still heard the same screeching noise when I put my ear against it. And it sounds different than the static noise that everyone else is reporting at lower volume levels.
Maybe a few heat cycles were needed to put the components into optimal operating state. I'd say now the noise is almost normal for a consumer grade electronics.

hey so i noticed that when iam watching youtube or listining to music withthe lound speaker i would feel the phone heat up in a specific spot which is if you flip the phone it should be on the bottom left which is away from the cpu so any ideas on that is the amp of the speaker over heating or something ?
