Okay so i've Noticed that recently on ics roms that when web browsing or playing games my neo gets really hot. I expected this as it has a lot to process but today whilst web browsing it got so hot that i couldent hold it anymore and it started making a burning smell. (this is without overclock min: 242 Max: 1024) i super quickly took out the battery and left it outside for a bit and it seems okay now but i was woundering why it keeps getting so hot on ics roms, as i dosent over heat on gingbread even with over clock!
Is it to do with Hardware Acceleration?
Same issue here although it never reached the burning smell! . Does any1 know the reason?

Burning smell is not a good sign,suggest you to move back to gingerbread as a precaution mate.
>>Is it to do with Hardware Acceleration?
can be,without debugging much cannot be told I guess.

Glad it's not just me then, Yeah the burning smell was after a few hours of browsing and playing fruit ninja.
me too annoying when your in the middle of somthing then your neo heats like theres no tommorrow =.=
I tried turning off "force gpu rendering" but still same heat ??? im very confuzzled.
same here, and i did a quick remove and back to .62
Neo gets Really Hot when playing games and surfing internet
The heat is too much that My hand can't stand it :'(
this is very unpleasant and really annoying.
Each time I play a game I have to take of the cover and its kinda help somehow but still it gets too much hotter.
most of the time its temperature raise more than 40 C*
any solution for this problem?
After 40-50 minutes in Modern Combat 3 multiplayer,my phone was very hot,but i think its normal,other games,programs make the phone only a little hot....
You mentioned "overclocking" ... and that's the most likely cause of overheating right there ... in your place i'd try to set the clocks back to factory defaults and use the phone then, i'm using Neo MT15i(currently with Cyanogen mod 7.2.0 RC1) and never had overheating issues

I get the same heat with underclocking @800mhz
and i dont get heat on gingerbread, only ics. in fact i overclock without heat on stock gingerbread using nightelf kernel.
Have the same problem with ka09 + pwa ics kernel 1.0 .Neo is abnormally hot compared to cm7.2 109 + nightelf lite 3.3.Could it be because the rom as a whole s still in beta stage ? And to clarify im not using oc just stock speeds.

This seems too big and too common of a problem for sony to leave. im sure it wont be happening in final ics release.
I hope that its only a nasty bug in the beta rom .The strange thing is that not many have noticed it so im wondering if it apperas only to some devices. Btw the ics roms cant be compared with the gb ones .Its like the day and night
Heating of smartphone is normal, especially when you oc your cpu...
When I'm playing eg. mc3, 9mm or gta3 with [email protected],4GHz after tens of minutes my phone is warm, but not really hot.

Yes i know but the thing is even with the oc 1.4 on cm7.2 rom it doesnt heat as much as the 1024mhz on ics.Anyway i hope its fixed inthe final version .
playing heavy games will no doubt heat ur phone...i think it is the beta rom bug...also...i have noticed that when i browse internet in 3G mode...the phone really heats up if it is not receiving good signal strength...mine heats up even on stock rom without OC.
i got heat on gb rom too ( @1024mhz max) playing nova 2 D:

SOLVED
SOLVED: (i think)
been doing some research into kernel governors and found out that the current "ondemmad" governor has a really fast ram up to high clock speeds. Whereas governors such as Smartass have a slow ramp up.
I believe this is the cause of our heat problems as when using Night elfs kernel with smartassv2 governor i played 3 hours of games (nova 2, fruit ninja, defender II) and neo got warm but not hot atal.
I also check cpu spy and despite the different governor the both reached speeds above 800Mhz.
SO i guess the fast ramp up in the ondemmand governor cause heat then?
So why not test with governors that have slow ramp up and tell me if heat gone
In gb roms with fxp kernel ,clocked to 1024 with ondemand when playing heavy games like e.warriors the phone get a little warm but cant say too hot.The problem is that in ics rom it gets warm just by having the display on (ondemand,1024 speed).When i will flash again a beta ics i will post that if changing to smartass has an effect in temp.
I've been playing Mass Effect Infiltrator for the last few days but my GS2 is getting really hot, up by the camera. Battery is warn but okay.
Anybody else get this or does anybody know what tweaks I can use with Fluxi kernel to solve this?
I have tried undervolting but only by 50mV per frequency, my GS2 doesn't seem to like undervolting.
My current set up:
GT-I9100
Slim ICS 3.8
Fluxi RC5.1
xxTweaker settings:
General
CPUIdle mode= AFTR + LPA
CPU
Maximum= 1200MHz
Maximum suspend= 800MHz
Minimum= 200MHz
Minimum suspend= 200MHz
CPU Voltage=
All frequencies: 200-1200MHz minus 50mV
Governor= Ondemand
All other xxTweaker settings are stock.
Any advice please?? TIA

Sounds normal to me. Game like that is going to be both CPU/GPU intensive. Not a great deal you can do about it. Obviously don't play it while the phone is on charge which will make it even worse.
temperature >50°C = not good
With SetCPU you can make a notification if the temperautre is more than 50°C, then take a short break and go on
sorry for bad engllish
Well its normal i guess
I tried the game on my stock gb 2.3.6 rooted with speedmode kernel
No overclock or underclock or undervolt..etc
And yes the game does heat up ur device like most of hd games like gameloft games
My device even gets worm by multi tasking
Generally my device is always 33temp when multi tasking and stuff like that
When gaming goes +40 depends om the game u play
I hate the over heat on galaxy s2 alot specially in summer it gets really hot... in winter i dont notice over heat that much..
Sent from my GT-I9100 press thanks if i helped
I have little bit poor performance in modern-day games :S, I don't know how this could happen. Etc: If I create new or go the Minecraft map it little bit lags, and if I walk around the minecraft world and this load the chunks it also lags, same thing for block story but little bit laggier than minecraft. And shadowgun give me about 25-40Fps I'm not sure how much fps but it's lags annoying with some point, and the little lag entire play time. Is this normal? can some explain me why galaxy s3 lags these games . My rom is foxhound 0.4 with internal sd mod, siyah kernel and cpu overclocked 1.6GhZ and max gpu frequency is 700MhZ. And also have anastia 8 + Acid v1 theme for better look. but other some games lag too but little I don't remember. :S My Ram usage in games about 550-650Mb. thx you for your time .
just 2 simple questions guys. From what i read the v6 supercharger script helps the ram not go below 200....from monitoring my ram usage, the lowest ive seen it drop is 230mb ish. I have not monitored during gaming, but will it help with gaming?
and i see alot of persons UV to -100. Ive tried it and seen no almost no difference in battery life. (using Stweaks and Siyah kernel with Omega rom)
Does it affect gaming in any way, or is it just my eyes cause fruit ninja and temple run have slight framterate dips (or could it be power saving mode)?
thanks for the responses
Anyone?
I didnt get your question completely...
And yes, powersaving mod decreases framerate to 40 instead of almost 60fps.. you can check it by using fpsmeter in playstore..is paid btw..
And supercharger does decrease the ram being used but its not good for multitasking according to my experience..
Hope that clears it..

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know if undervolting to - 100 decrease overall performance in anyway?
Power saving mode will have an affect on overall performance. UV.......hmm if I'm honest I do it just so my phone doesn't get warm. A lot of tests show that UV will save around 1-2% of battery. Biggest battery drain are still the screen and apps that stop the device from entering deep sleep. If UV causes games to lag it simply means you've UV too much
This tablet is the same as the shield tablet how come it play games so badly if this can begin what’s the best custom rom and Kerman to play games on?
It overheats and throttles. The Tegra K1 in this tablet is not the same as the one in the Shield tablet. Same GPU, much different CPU. This one gets hotter. It really is too hot for a fanless tablet if you try to run it at full utilization for a long period of time, as a game will.
You can try underclocking the CPU. That will probably make it perform better for games because the GPU will run faster.
Actually it's not really "overheating" exactly. It has a temperature limit and once it hits that temp, it slows down the CPU and GPU to stay under that temp. It's a power limit. It uses too much power to run at full speed continuously for a long period of time in a tablet.
I'm using Slimrom with Fire Ice Kernel.
PUBG runs pretty well using gfxtools with low setting + 30fps.
But the game began to lag after 15min due to thermal throttle.
Will try the heatsink mod later and hopefully able to improve the performance...
