hi fellow mates at xda. i got myself this superb phone a month ago and i must say this is a very good phone compared to the iphone 4.However, i have some questions for you guys and hope you would help me.
First,when i played pes 2011 for 10 mins, the phone get really hot. Its very unbearable and is this normal? If its normal, is there a work around?
Second, my battery finish very fast with less than 6 hours of usage. Again is there a work around for this problem?
Thirdly, sometimes my phone rebooted itself for 6 times before stopping. Why is this so?
Lastly, how do i install software version 2.3.4 to my phone? does it eat up more battery? I wanna have stock rom for now. If there are any roms which save battery, do inform me and teach me how to install.
And to add on, my phone is KF1 with stock rom and its rooted. using launcer pro. Hope all of this helps. Pls be patient wth me. Thanks in advance for answering the questions
1- Phone will be hot if you play games for long time, and when you charge your phone. It's very normal.
2- Check under battery usage graph whats your screen time is, if it's around 5-5.5 hours than you are very fine. You can continuously use the device for that time and battery could be drained completely in 6 hours or even less.
3- Can't say about reboot issue, never had once.
4- Connect your phone to Kies, if there is a 2.3.4 update you will be notified. It will fix some issues. No way battery backup will be worse if not better.
I don't believe a Custom ROM could save battery juice. Never use one. Alternatively, I'd suggest you to root your device, install Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the unnecessary apps which you can see in app Better Battery Stats.

You must remember that the S2 is a 1.2ghz dual core phone, thinner than a Mrs Fields cookie, and with no fan to keep it cool. It will get hot... My brother's 1.4ghz Sony Vaio BURNS when he plays games, and so does my Macbook Pro when doing task intensive duties.
any link for better battery stats? cant seem to download from original post. My phone is rooted but now i cant connect to KIES. KIES said "Reconnect the device in samsung kies (pc studio) mode.Current connection not supported by kies." what should i do to connect to kies?
There's a billion links for everything. If you got a problem I can guarantee that one of the other 400 MILLION users that have been here forever have not only had your problem. But found the fix and gladly shared it. You see, there's this thing...its called a SEARCH box. Usually located in the upper right hand corner of the front page of XDA. Its an amazing thing that SEARCH button. You should check it out.....

Hi I have bought vibrant from ebay and using it for about week now

so i downloaded app called battery minder which gives me % and how many minutes left on my phone

no wifi, no blue tooth, no gps, data turned on it shows i have about like 6 hrs
and when i turn my wifi on and when it;s connected it says i have 18 hrs or something
and when i just turn my bluetooth on without wifi it gives me like 1 more hr from 6 hr so about 7 or 8
and when i make my phone to airplane mode it gives me 22 hrs or something
and the minutes showing on there it;s pretty accruate
so is there way to fix it? and even if there is way to fix it airplane mode and 22hrs i think that's way too little
or is that supposed to be
i don;t know how other ppls battery is so that's why i am posting here
please please help me
i love the phone but battery is just not right
and my point of view right now i do not think it;s the battery because when i turn my bluetooth on it gives me more hrs...

one last question if it is the battery if i change my battery get it from ebay or something which one should i get if i get those cheap ebay batteries will it damage my phone?

If you don't use battery minder how long does the phone last with a full charge. Sorry but I can understand everything you said with the run on sentences.

In other words don't go by what that app is telling you. Also root tour phone and try a custom rom. They all have great battery life from my experiences.

before i updated my phone to 2.2 i had rooted phone with lag fix and i had horrible battery life that time too
even though i didn;t not had battery minder
it was draining really fast
You need to charge your phone completely will oyster off. After about 2 hours after its at 100% boot into cwm or recovery and flash a new rom like Bionix-V. It almost sounds like whoever you bought the phone from fiddled with it and so the battery stats are messed up.

is there way to do this thing without any rooting
because one click root does not work on official 2.2...
and i am kind of noob only been using the phone for week now
thank you so much
Nope, you need to root to flash. I'm pretty sure there is some way to root the 2.2 update, but I don't know for sure since the last time I rooted was two months ago on vanilla 2.1 I'd search the forums and if not, Google is also useful.

Hey guys!! i have had a problem with my X10. When i play some games on my phone it all of a sudden powers off. When i power it on it boots and switches off again. I tried updating the software but it didn't work. Can anyone help me with this..... is this a hardware problem?
which rom r u using and ru overclocking ur rom to play games !! if ur overclocking the ROM then certain games has this problem of causing random reboots too !! if not then try installing the game again after wiping ur cache!! and fix permissions
Flash thjap's kernel, while playing games overclock to 1152 and enjoy. If you have ram manager, then select the option "hard play games"

have u try to re-plug the battery ?
Look at my signature...
1.st link.
It's overheating.
I had random reboots earlier in the year, so i took my phone to my local 3 shop and (although it was rooted) they took it in for repair. A week later, i went to pick it up and to my suprise they gave me a brand new phone, saying the hardware had malfunctioned and so it was un-repairable. I wasnt expecting that as i knew i had voided my warrenty, but from my experience it could be hardware related
Hope that kinda helps?
Yeah. Rooting does not void your warranty. unlocking BL does. Any idea on what hardware issue it is? Do u have the same problems with the new phone as well?
Does changing the battery help??
I had the same problem and would get voltage drops or inconsistent voltage when the battery wasn't near-full yet I could slowly drain the device but under load would shut down....
I tried a gazillion things to fix it including a number of different kernels...
just changing the battery fixed EVERYTHING!
And batteries were pretty cheap.
Hello folks,
I have the same problem with some roms.
The phone turn always off in 50% of battery. Ive been testing a few methods like battery calibration by app, xrec and omegared process, but none works.
Im trying to install the SE tock rom but nothing works, in that moment I´m wainting to receive a new battery but I´ve read from some people with same problem that a new battery neither a solution.
If someone in this problem have been this problem with a solution a I would like to know about it

As I wrote above, I had the same issue as you
and like you I tried all those things.
A new battery DID solve my problem So, hopefully it WILL solve yours.
This phone is pretty old. March 2010 to now is 20 months which is around the time I don't trust these battery to work well. My carrier (NTT Docomo) even gives you a new battery after 24 months.

Random Reboots?
The phone has always occasionally rebooted itself from time to time since I bought it . I think whenever resource contention becomes too critical it reboots itself like "have you tried turning it off and on again" in the TV Series "The IT Crowd"
The phone rebooting itself from time to time only really impacts you if it does it while you are in the middle of something. That never happens to me. Usually the reboots are when the phone is short on free memory but in sleep mode for me.
In the past week, my phone has rebooted once or maybe even twice but that's about it.
Hello
Yes yes i know i'm a noob, and i'm hated.. and i hate myself :/ lol but right now I need help! I've searched EVERYWHERE and was unable to find the solution soo...
I got my Samsung Galasy S II GT-I900G about a month ago, I've been turning it off every night so that It can charge. Like a week ago for some reason I didnt and in the middle of the next day the RAM got to about 560MB/0.91GB and then after a while it got stuck while i was sending an SMS. I had to take the battery out and and turn it on for it to start working again. I'm not that much of a hardcore gamer or phone user. I dont know why my phone would do this. I have deleted all my apps and still the same problem so its definetly not a leaky app. It gets stuck and then i have to take the battery out !
My phone has 2.3.4 android version
If you need any other information, let me know and i'll post it... But PLEASE help me.
I'm desperate here
I hope you've told the mods to remove your duplicate post ?

Which ROM and Kernel are you using?
Android is like Linux, so low ram=wasted resources. High ram is natural. Likely it is your rom or kernel that is to blame. You could also do a factory reset to see if it fixes it. Also, if you hold the power button for 10 seconds, it is the same as a battery pull, so you don't need to take the back (or case if you have one) off.

Hi everyone,
first of all I did search forum, but havent find answer nor related thread, if I have missed it please sorry about it.
Got my SGS2 about 6-7 months ago. No issues, everything perfect. Got updated to 2.3.4 with KIES (not really fan of experimenting with phone that have price of above average monthly salary in Serbia).
Rooted device with ZergRush exploit since I wanted as close to mint backup in case I have to send it to service(dont ask, service here is pain in the butt), purchased Mobile Odin Pro (cheers to that Chainfire) and flashed Hellcat's kernel for 2.3.4 from Mobile Odin.
Everything was cool, CWM, made EFS backup with his tool too, and so on...
However, about 2 moths ago, I started experiencing random restarts of the phone. Did search, found out that it happens and actually dealt with it.
Now, recently, i switched off my phone in the evening (was on 20% and didnt wanted to leave it on charger, and didnt want it to die on me during night), and in the morning I havent been able to turn it on. Freaked out badly, only to realize that its battery was empty. Which was odd because I DID turned it off.
About few days ago, i switched the phone, and it went to full shut down, however managed to get stucked somewhere in process (LED's are on, did vibrate i think) but never shuts down itself.
After some time, when I picked it up since I saw LED's on, i realized that its very hot and that I cant switch it back on (presumably because it never got shuts down) and had to remove battery so that I can switch it back on. When I did, i found out that battery was about 15% drained in that 10 mins, and I dont know what he was computing while shutting down, but it burned the sh*t out of itself.
Tonight it did that again so I decided to ask first before I do factory reset/wipe everything (maybe update to ICS too).
So, any idea, suggestion what to do is more than appreciated.
Cheers
Polite bump?

Well assuming you have read original post, why the hell that happen, does it happen to anyone else, and how to avoid it?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
Well, as I said, its not bootloop.
As I said, I shut down the phone, it starts shutting down, turn on leds, vibrate and stays turned on. After that battery drains quickly, and phone gets very hot.
When I get battery out, and back in it boots up without problems.
And I dont have any cooked rom, just Hellcats kernel for 2.3.4 stock rom.
you problem
Hi there,
Here's the best way to resolve this issue you have to re-flash a fresh new rom, meaning a full installation of the android os and here is how to do it,
First search google and download ODIN to ur computer or Pc.
Next search again google and type the following ( Sammobile.com ) and register and after that type the model number of your phone for example (i9100) in the site search bar and download rom that u need and thats it this should solve ur problem
Note : be sure to have 100% battery charged before doing the above and after installing ur new rom do a full wipe and enjoy,
I hope this was helpful,
Regards,
iMatrix
Yeah, thats probably that I will end up doing, luckily i have bought Titanium Backup so that I can backup all apps that I have and restore them after wiping everything.
I was wondering that somebody have any idea what might be going on.
Thanks for suggestions everyone.
before that try wiping cache and dalvik cache

This seems to happen quite a bit on gb roms.. definetely time to upgrade to ICS
Actually from what I have read about ICS 4.03, Im actually glad I didnt.
Releasing it in that state(e.g. battery issues again, 3rd party sms programs sends sms twice...) is bad for both G and Samsung imho...

I think I'll wait few more iterations just in case
I have bought xps about 20 days ago. Yesterday and today , while I was surfing the net via wifi (both times) , my phone suddenly switched off and made a restart. Did anyone experience a problem like this ?? It never happened before.
Not had that problem - infact I was just thinking today that I haven't restarted my phone for a week.. and it still feels super smooth... which I've never experienced before on Android!
Never had a sudden restart, lag or unresponsive device. Seems that you are the only one here with such a luck...

Unfortunately sudden restarts are very common in the android world. I think 80% of the android smartphones had at least once this problem. You should wait to see if it happen again and if so try a hard reset or a software repair using sony pc companion. If it will become a common problem even with other users sony with a future update it will fix the problem. What software version do you have .62 .67 or .73 ?
Hi,
If you have this reboot issue
Nothing can resolve this!
But,just in case
Do not use your phone with charger pluged in for long time!
This kill your battery very quick!
And cause autoreboot
And be careful with internet!
If you flash some FW or rom or kernel
Made a full charge before flash

I've had this happen to me on my Xperia S twice already while using it.
It also randomly restarts while in standby once in awhile.

If it's not happening very offen like twice a day, the only thing you can do is wait for the 4.0 update, because If you look in all the other android smartphone forums you will see that every android model have this issue from time to time. I think is something like the Windows OS bluescreen...very very difficult for normal users to detect where is the problem. I think with the 4.0 update the problem it will be solved. But if the Xperia S become unstable and randomly rebooting every day try a software repair with pc companion and if this is not solving the problem just go to a Sony support center and give them the smartphone for replacement.
I have the reboot twice
Refresh ROM good!
Hi, my phone also has random restarts. It becomes sluggish and unresponsive, then just restarts.
I think mine has done it once or twice when just in standby mode as well.
I actually got my first Xperia S replaced as it had this problem, but the replacement is also suffering from it.
Seen a few other people saying they have the same over on the Sony forums, so I think its a software problem somewhere.

I have .73. I didn't flash my device nor I use it when charges(and I don't let it charging for hours).
I think that there was not enough RAM at that time but I am not sure. I'll have to check it out.
I just experienced the same problem not too long ago. I was web browsing and my phone crashed and rebooted on it's own. I'm on the phone with Sony right now because I have the youtube issue as well. This sounds like a software issue.
Had mine since March 6. So far only one random reboot, none since update to 6.0.A.5.6

I called Sony Mobile Canada to report this issue. I told her others are having this issue as well. She's going to escalate it. I would like to encourage everyone who's having this problem to call Sony tech support in your Country and let them be aware of this issue. The more people call about this issue, just maybe they will work on a software fix sooner rather than later. Strength in numbers!
No restart on mine
I heavy use internet 3G/wifi on it
But,
I never flash anything on mine with flashtool or seus or pcc
Pure stock FW.67
12w14
AAD-AV
Only 2 "big" issue
Phone freeze one time
when plug charger in
VolumeUp+power solve the bug,
And the yellow tint on the screen.
Normally,when the phone keep autoreboot,or autopowerOff
It is caused by a dead battery
You can identify it
by keep hold power when the phone restart by itself
and at reboot
If the led blink 3 time red when holding power
That's indicated battery die
Or made a battery test in service *#*#7378423#*#*
But your phone is new !
So try a full charge with reset battery to get best power (volumeUp + power 5second one vibrate)
If your phone is rooted
you can delete manualy "power_supply"
in sys/class and reboot
with charger pluged in
After that,
try a full restore with seus with wipe data ect..
Can't help more :-(
