Xperia SP Heating

[Sonysp09]

My XSP heats lot while playing games and also shows only 150 mb of free ram.

Sometimes it stop charging by itself. Need solution for heating.

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.

Touch has become very irresponsive after 4.3.. My phone ever heats and I have to restart my phone after every 4 days this is terrible

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

Still 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)
