I notice if i use my galaxy for over 15 mins it starts to over heat in the bottom, right over the Galaxg SIII logo. I touch the battery with the cover off and noticed its not coming from the battery. Is anyone else have this issue? If so Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix the issue
 
How hot is hot ?
It is very normal for any phone that has dule core this quad core that
To get a bit hot during use .
My last phone was a motorola atrix and it could get in sainley hot almost to the point were i was starting to think it would melt but no it kept on going .
Dont forget to bear in mind your phone does not have a fan blowing air over the heatsync to keep it cool .
Electical flow in its vety nature creates friction inturn means heat .
So unless you s3 feels like hot bluetack then dont worry its normal .
 
OK this sucks.
Years ago, I got the Iphone 4 and you had to put a cover on it because of the antenna issue.
I get the S3 and to protect it, i get a cover and within no time, after putting it on the phone, the phone overheats, locks up, lags,
If i am charging it, it locks up. I was driving shortly after i put the case on, and it kept making noise but i was driving so i couldnt look at the phone. then once i got home. i noticed it locking up and really warm, bottom right hand corner.
This really sucks as i love the phone but I do know, overheating like this is not good for electronics and will lessen their lifespan.

anyone else having cover issues?
 
Heat is normal on a smartphone. Not sure how hot is too hot for you. But whenever my phone gets to 100+ degrees Fahrenheit, i get slightly concerned and slow down on whatever i'm doing.
 
Threads like these are useless without actual temp data. Get an app that reads battery temperature such as Androsensor and post readings.
 
I watched a netflix movie on 3G almost non-stop and it got warm, but not much warmer than my iPhone. The temp app I used indicated it was 103-which was fine
