... Ok? What does it matter what's happening to your phone if we don't know what you've done to it?

Give us some details man! (seriously though, we need the details so someone can help you out)

I felt this issue early with my phone in a daily use. I sent to AT&T store, revise the phone and give me a new one battery. Supposed to be a factory fault.
Actually, if I install a Rom connected to a power cord, I fell the phone heating, but it's only temporary.
Personnaly, I am not work worry about it.

Yes, I faced this 2-3 times on stock condition on the second day of purchase. I had to pull out the battery for some time to keep it cool as when ever tried to switch it off, the phone will reboot automatically on the next moment. Done few continuos factory resets solved the issue of heating up. Once I rooted it, the phone behaves properly.

You're on like ever post telling people they're posting the wrong things. Its really annoying, whats really clogging up the forums is complainers. Just get over it.

It happened on many roms, many kernels and many different cpu settings, so details wont help you. Sorry.

Hah, i just said that cus i thought i read something on another thread. I just hate when people are overly sensitive about stupid things it wastes so much time, and to make this post not a waste, i would like to let you all know..

I am still experiencing this issue everyday. Especially when I'm charging but sometimes randomly. Sometimes when i use the camera, definitely when i play graphically intensive games.

Yeah, i guess i should. Such a hassle though. I just feel like it might be my fault, doing something to it.

Naww. Unless you deliberately caused the issue it could be a hardware thing which totally isn't yer fault. See if they'll give u a replacement tell them the issue you are having and that you've already tried to troubleshoot it. And don't let them give u a damn slow rocket as a substitute lol its definitely not.

You do know that over heating can lead to expedited hardware degradation right?

It gets super hot, then choose, then super hot then cools... Not a great thing to have going on regularly.

Personally, I would remove all personal files, return to stock, upgrade to stock ICS and then take it in and tell them you want a replacement. Don't take the sh¡trocket. A gs2, oneX, gs3 or even a note, maybe, but that's it.

Define overheating. I know my phone can get really warm if I'm using a bunch of apps or things like Skype on 3G, especially the upper right portion of the back, near the cameras. If it gets too warm, I try to cool it just by holding my hand there covering all the parts that are getting hot (if the phone is warmer than your skin, your skin will cool it, simple physics), and when I start killing tasks after I'm done and let it rest for awhile, it'll cool down again. I wonder if my Otterbox Case exasperates the problem. But after hearing all the problems people are having with refurb units, I wouldn't trade my mostly perfectly working I777 for anything at this point.

As far as I'm concerned, if it's hot enough where it makes me think "holy sh¡t, my phone is freaking hot!", it's overheating. If it's warm not a big deal, that's gonna happen.

I've only had out overheat twice so far. The second time i don't know what happened but my phone had over 50% batt and when i went to pick it up 20 minutes later it was extremely hot to the touch and the battery was dead. Hasn't happened in over a month and I've had this phone for around 6 months now.
