Re: Does your gs3 get warm quickly?

My phone is pretty warm right now, where I can feel the heat through the screen. Due to charging and multitasking.

Re: Does your gs3 get warm quickly?

I think it's the oem battery. I have a hyperion that doesn't get hot but when I put my oem battery in it gets super hot. I got it replaced but have yet to charge it

Re: Does your gs3 get warm quickly?

How do u start a thread sorry im new. Also does the galaxy s3 downclock when they get warm because I ran quadrent and my o hone normally scores like 4700-5250 but when its reay warm it will score in the low 4000 like 4100 or so. And when im playing games like dead trigger I sometimes get a sligght studder every once in a while is all this normal?

Mine doesn't actually get warm at all. Never has. Not once, during five weeks of use.

Mine does. The temp gauge said 108. I downloaded advaced task killer and shut some unneeded things off n that seemed to fix it. For now.

45?c is hottest mine gets.
Not sure if temp would affect benchmark performance tbh, interesting tho!

Starting a new thread... are u using the phone app, the desktop site or the mobile site? ;)

No, I haven't Mate. ;) Haven't ever played any games on the S3, or on my previous iPhones. :-[ My wife did/does, so I've tried my hand at a few of hers, but haven't ever dl'd any. Too busy I guess, just trying to keep-up with work & emails & etc. Then whilst spare time presents itself . . I typically search for and play new music or read news & etc., that is, when not reading this interesting AC Forum! ;) Cheers Bro.

Re: Does your gs3 get warm quickly?

Does your guys galaxy s3 ever lag in dead trigger with settings on high? I feel like I get like 30fps with high settings on. And it studers every once in a while. Also please state what phobe moddle you have duel core or quad.

Mine will get alarmingly hot every now and then. Gets hot when I tether and charge it at the same time. Never affects performance though.

Re: Does your gs3 get warm quickly?

I have the SGH-i747 with heat and short battery life. Taking the phone to AT&T for exchange. I really like the phone, so I hope the phone will run cooler and longer.

Did you exchange your phone? If so was it a good decision? Im having thoughts of exchanging mine as well. Battery life and heat really suck on my gs3.

Re: Does your gs3 get warm quickly?

Mine does as well I don't know y cause I still have 53% of my internal memory left and a 4gig memory card so can't be that and i clean the cache regularly so must just be a fault in the phones and I noticed when it does heat up it slows the phone down really badly it becomes jumpy I had an experia u before this with basically the exact same apps and it could handle it better which I really don't understand with all the good press this phone got and it's ?300 more than the experia u just don't think it's right for the price of the s3 it should be one of the best on the market but the new Internet Phone and the experia z and the htc are far better than the s3 and the s4 just as bad same problem as the 3 Samsung should have spent more time developing these phones instead of rushing them to be out before others thats just made the others better because they took there time it's that old saying quality before quantity simply could be better really disappointed in Samsung for this reason

Re: Does your gs3 get warm quickly?

smnbx,
I'd have to say that there's something wrong with your device - you should take it in for an exchange before the 14 days are up.

It's normal for the phone to get warm but it should never get hot.

Re: Does your gs3 get warm quickly?

I have also noticed the same thing with my phone galaxy S3, it's gets warm pretty fast, even browsing the phone, don't know why that's happening, and it's mostly the down side of the phone, the back side of the home button. Don't know why?! Help me out, please...
