I've noticed that my phone gets pretty warm when playing certain games, especially ones that hog memory/battery, like RPG games.
Anyone else have this problem?

Help Phone gets hot when playing games

I wouldn't call it a problem. I have experienced this with every smartphone I have owned. Just like any processor, it tends to get warm when exercised. Since smartphones are air cooled, the heat transfers to the outside eventually.
On my Evo 4G, the phone and battery would both warm up. On the E4GT, it seems the processor area is the part to get warm. But I wouldn't be surprised if the battery would warm up at times when the processor was running hard and the battery was discharging.

so does the evo 3d, and photon, it seems most android devices will get hot after playing games for a certain amount of time, the evo 4g does as well
Most phones get hot when you play games. The evo3d gets hot just because regardless of use

Okay, so I'm just dumb, I guess, haha. Until I got this phone, I didn't really play games much. Previous android devices were mainly filled with dinky games that didn't require much juice.
That's not true.

Wrong info. My EVO3D or EVO 4G for that matter NEVER got hot while playing games. My Epic Touch is not only getting hot playing games but it gets scorching any time I play a video from the sd card.

Well, I guess it's a matter of opinion then. My old Evo 4G, and my friend's current Evo 4G get hot quite easily. As I said, processors get warm when they are used. That holds true with my laptop, my desktop, etc.
