samsung galaxy note 3 overheating

[lamgaban]

hi guys,

i just got my galaxy note 3, and i'm loving the phone. (i upgraded from my note 2)
what i realize after a couple of days is, it starts to get warm (not hot to the point where it's unbearable or anything) really fast. i could just be serving the web a bit, chatting on whatsapp for a little bit, and then the area around the camera would start to get really warm.
i use the phone in about the same manner i used my note 2, but i never noticed my note 2 warming up that fast...
anyone experiencing the same thing? any advice?
thanks in advance!

Well the Snapdragon 800 probably gets a bit warm, but you should also check if you have any other apps that seem to coincide with it just to make sure something isn't running amok.

Factory reset should fix the problem.

Besides other actions you might be planning to take, I'd call your carrier and keep them apprised.

not just a reset.. but a factory reset? So the suspicion is what? that a user installed app is causing the problem? on a new phone a factory reset is no big deal. but not seeing how this would help. Love to learn how though...

Sometimes there is a program running crazy. It happened with my GNex when I got it. It fixed the problem. It did not overheat again.

Mine started heating up during charge mode. I had to remove battery to restart. Phone is less than one week old...WTF?
