[Q] overheating problems

[lvlonkey]

Running on slimbean 4.3 stable with latest kt kernel. Phone gets crazy hot after a short period of watching netflix. Im talking 70c. Searching around the forums tells me that I shouldn't be running this hot. Im not overclocked. Even if I underclock and undervolt it still gets pretty hot. Ive tried to bear with this phone because I dont want to have to lose the spigen glas screen protector but after owning the s3 and s2 without ever having heat issues this is really bothering me. Can I just go into the tmobile store and they replace it with a new one?

That really depends on the store and the people there.
How long have you had the phone?

Also, you can always try a different kernel, ROM, etc.
See if it does it on a TouchWiz based ROM, if it does, then it's definitively a hardware issue. If it doesn't.. it could just be your phone doesn't like that certain ROM and / or kernel and / or ROM / kernel combination.

Remember, each cpu on the phone is made slightly differently. Some are stronger than others unfortunately.

I'd run a few tests before I go and ask for a new device, but that's just me. You can always just go.
