xperia getting hot while gaming to about 47C?

[#1]

hello there

i have my xperia s for a while now and noticed when gaming

the back of the phone gets HOT! so hot that when i put it back in my pocket i still feel its heat

i checked temp when it was realy hot it was 47C and that happens when i game videochats etc.

Also when it gets over 41? when full brightness is activated the screen dims? but when i check settings it is still full brightness wich is not even bright annymore ?

could someone help me with this?:smileyconfused:

that's normal that it gets that hot, my Xperia S gets that hot while taking a lot of pictures and playing music in between.

now regarding the brightness try to toggle down the brightness then turn it 100% again

hmm but what can i do to not feel the heat beacause it is pretty hot in my region right now and my hands are going to burn no jokes they realy feel so

there's nothing you can do about it, the only option is to let it cool down for few minutes and then play again, sorry.

anytime, if you are going to be playing for a while turn off wifi, bluetooth and even data plan if you aren't using them

The Xperia S has a thermal protection serivce running, presumably if the phone gets too hot it will lower the processor speed etc.

Indeed, if it gets too hot it will shutdown
