Re: Phone heating too much while playing games and charging

Welcome to Android Central! Use a system monitor app to see what temperature the CPU and battery are getting to. Phones often will get pretty warm when running processor-intensive apps like certain games. Things can get quite warm as well if you're charging at the same time, since charging causes some battery heat, which can compound temperature issues caused by apps.
