Sometimes it stop charging by itself??? Then what happens?

If you play games, no solution for heating up ... unavoidable.

I guess the phone is so warm that the battery stops charging as a precaution.

Phone heats to much. It never happened in 4.1.2 version. I used too play Ashfalt 7. But now in new 4.3 it heats quickly even browsing on internet or playing games.

Did you try for example to disable google chrome and other google apps?

My SP heats up too. I have almost all the google apps disabled including chrome. But other browsers heat up the phone as well. Even light games heat it up. It never came down to auto shut down or charge-stop but it is really annoying. Because of the heat my hands starts to sweat so using gestures becomes very hard.

I also found out that after 4.3 my network signal is weaker. It was not like that in 4.1 so maybe it is related to phone radio. Also Android eats up too much battery.

as other say , it has too much heating also in normal usage like web browsing or in messengers like Viber ,Line , Tango or ... playing lite games is annoying because of too much heating that force you to quit. in one sentence we can say Xperia SP has too much heating and i don't know what are Sony developers doing ! please solve this bad situation in Xperia SP. device is completely unusable

Yeah actually I realised that disabling the apps does not help much I only did it to save some ram (that was before I learnt how ram worked in android) now I'm too lazy to enable them all again. Just wanted to mention it because poster above me asked it.

Mine never shut down either and it heated up on 4.1 as well but now it seems quicker and too much more when using 3g data and I kinda felt after some time temparature went down in 4.1 now it seems like it heats up more and more. It's now summer here maybe the weather affects it as well.

My xsp heats up to 47 degree Celsius. Is it a hot cake or a phone?

As for the heating problem, here's how I minimalize it...
1. Set the screen brightness as low as possible
2. Use GSM only network
3. Install push-based app (like Facebook, WhatsApp, BBM, Twitter, etc) as few as possible
4. Don't install background-running app
5. Turn on STAMINA mode if needed to cut push-based apps connection
6. Don't use Live Wallpaper
7. Underclock to 1026 MHz (root only)
