My mother-in-law has been complaining aver the past weeks or two about her 2 month old SGS4 getting real hot. I told her to take it back to Telecom and get them to check the battery that it wasn't one of the bulging ones. It was OK. She mentioned this to a friend if hers who has the same one and it does it as well. I seems to be when certain apps are bing used. In the case of her friend it is a game Candy Crush in MILs case it when she is using apps like PlaneFinder, ShipFinder and NZ tides. I suspect all of these want set location services on or the GPS chip.
Anyone else gotten a SGS4 and does it get real hot when using apps??
Just an update to this. The M-i-L has come up for Easter and bought the fone with here. When she bought it she got a heavy rubber type case with it. I bought her a leather wallet case and the heat problems have gone. Guess the rubber like case must have been acting like an thermos and not letting the heat out.
