My phone sometimes gets as hot as hell too. However I am using an external bluetooth keyboard and mouse, while playing music and also running wifi while keeping contacts in one window next to my email program in another window. I would expect it to get somewhat hot during that kind of situation but even when doing that it only gets hot sometimes however. I took off the back to check the warmth of my 64GB micro sdxc card, but that is not at all the source of the heat (even though that's where all my songs are stored). Other times I have been away from home with the phone in my empty pocket and it gets quite warm (and that is with WiFi and bluetooth both off). It has not gotten so hot that it would turn off, but it has gotten hot enough so it hurts to hold my finger in one place on the screen (just above center it seems hottest). My phone is not at all rooted or hacked (the last year or so I have noticed they are all fast enough not to need that fine tweaking). What is the best tool to determine what process is using most of the CPU cycles (not time, but % of cycles)?
