I am a long time owner of the Galaxy S that has recently bought the S II.
Comparing to the previous model the S II heats up real bad with my usage and the battery drains incredibly fast. When running 10 min of flash video, my battery temp shoots up to over 50C and it drains over 20% of my battery. This is even with the May 11 ROM release.
So i would like to ask other owners to post their results with a flash video as reference (i used the video on watch futurama online S2E1 as my test if you could use the same one maby). Running full screen for 10 min at lowest brightness what is your battery temp and how much battery is drained (i use Smart Battery Monitor to get those values)?
Thank you.
I think it's Flash - it will always be a power hog.
720p YouTube video doesn't even run smoothly on my Macbook Pro, so it's going to be a challenge for the SGS2.
Its not just flash. Games, market and some other stuff also causes the same thing. As i said Galaxy S didnt have such problems with runnin flash or any other content... i want to hear from other users if they are expiriencing the same problems or if my cellphone is defective.
When it is on standby it is lik 1% -2% an hour. When I just touch it and play some games or browse the web, I just see the % go by fast.
Yesterday i downloaded some games, browsed the web and played the games. 26% lost in 45 minutes.
So its not just mine.. this sounds horrible. Anyone else confirm this? Also post the 10min test result with temp and drain?
I played a game for 20 minutes, lost 20%. And that's with almost all games.
General usage - 35c
Heavy usage - 40c
Idle - 29c
Charging with no usae - 41c
Charging with usage - 44c
And when i put my case in the temp increases about 4c on average... So now when i charge it i put it near my air con. Battery is good lasts me a day

So battery does drain that fast... what is heavy usage for you?
Can you please just run 10 min of the video i did on wifi and tell me what peak temp you get exactly with it and exactly how much it drained the battery... anyone just so i can compare my results, its just 10 minutes of your time.

Really??? Videos 1080p Youtube run smoothly on my GS2, no problem at all. After updated to the newest firmware (KE7), CPU temperature is noticeable lower when playing game for me, and battery life improves too
I noticed a decrease in temperature with latest firmware too, but how much exactly is your max temp now? Give me some numbers...?
I had max 41c after 15min of game and down to 32c after 3min
Thank you. After the last update from Kies i also had a max of 42C after 15 min of watching a flash video. Before the update the same flash video made it shot up to 58C.
Hi, so I have this new HTC Desire X and there are a few issues that have been bothering me.
1. Phone gets warm pretty quickly while playing 3d games and (according to Caynax Dashboard Battery Widget) reaches 44C but doesn't go any higher. It doesn't turn off or do anything out of the ordinary other than being warm to the touch but feels weird.
2. With screen turned off battery life seems to be pretty good but as soon as I start playing games battery drains very fast. While playing 3d games it takes about 3,5h to go from 100% to 0%.
3. While charging the battery percentage gets stuck at 99% for quite a while. From 99% to 100% it takes nearly as long as it does to reach 99%.
Is this normal behavior or should I be worried?

1. It's pretty normal for our device, because it's a midranged device
2. That's normal because some games are pretty tough for our device
3. Best solution is a battery cabliration

How about "normal" non-gaming use? Say, browsing the internet using Opera Mobile? Does your phone get warm then?

I use chrome and no it only gets warm when multitasking, when its charging and when I play games
Well I checked now and the phone got warm while I was simply browsing the internet using Opera Mobile (Classic). Slower than while playing games but it did reach 42C after like 10 minutes.
I found out that the music volume is too low after upgrading to JB ......

@ curiousjack-heating problem is normal thing in every device, as far as I have noticed, whenever there is heavy load on gpu, its causes heating, also while using GPS,same thing happens, as for 99% issue that's not normal bro, as already suggested try calibration, if that doesn't help, its time to pay a visit to service centre..& battery drain is normal thing, you said your lasts 3.5 hours,while mine doesn't even lasts 2hours while playing RF13,so don't worry..
@monitorstudioworker-low volume bug is solved in latest update,as of now only India has got it, I can confirm my volume is normal after latest update, its about 10 mb, wait for it, it'll start roiling out soon in other countries too..
By calibrating you guys mean to discharge the battery till the phone turns off and then recharge it completely, right? Or is there a way to wipe battery stats or something in stock rom?

yes but the best is to recharge it while it's off. Wiping battery stats doesn't solve battery drain most of the time
Meh this temperature seems so fishy. I played 3 races in Real Racing 2 on Xperia X8 - phone still cold, the exact same 3 races on HTC Desire X and it's already warm even though Xperia struggles with the game and Desire doesn't.
What battery temperatures do others get while playing games?
I get to about 42 while m playing real racing 3 all this heating but the phone doesn't reboot or switch off is because I feel our default stock kernel is configured for PERFORMANCE profile rather than the usual ONDEMAND seen in stock roms
Hey guys just want to tell you that the 99% battery bug is true. I face it. What's more suprising is that even after taking 1-2 hours to reach 100% from 99% it soon drops down to (92-95)% as soon as you start using it . Its really a thing to be worried bout

Hi. Been using my RN9S/Pro for the past 4 days and I feel that my battery consumption is too much. When I got the phone I have charged the device 4 times already with minimal use. I charge when it reaches below 15-20% till 80-90%. I did some test. 1 hour of playing a game called Dragon Raja. It runs on Unreal Engine 4. Medium Setting(no HFR mode). Brightness set to full. From 86% to 72%. Did another test. 3 hours of browsing(purely browsing-no social media app or video app opened) via chrome mostly online shopping with brightness set 10-15%. From 94% to 81%. After browsing went to sleep and left phone on idle not connected to wifi/mobile data no wake screen notification as well. From 81% to 74% idle consumption. Is that normal? I'm seeing reviews of overnight idle consumption with either mobile data or wifi ON around 1-3% and gaming for 3 hours consumed 20-30%(pubgm, codm, mobile legends).
Note: When I got the phone what I did is to master reset it. Installed the App I needed(fb, messenger, twitter, spotify, asphalt 9 and dragon raja). Disabled auto brightness and set it to 10-15%. Uninstall all other apps that phone will let me. Tests were done on separate days.
that is pretty normal , max i can get while gaming was 6 hours on pubg smooth hd + 60fps using gfx tools , I already switched to custom gsi rom and the battery here is a lot better than stock i can tell but still haven't try for gaming. And one more thing, game like dragon raja consume alot of batteries because the cpu and gpu basically run at full throttle. Used to play on oneplus 7t and i can tell that game consumed alot more battery on that device.
Thank you for the reply. How about the idle consumption? Is it normal? I did another idle test for 3 hours from 74% to 71%. Wifi and mobile data off no notifications as well. Seems kinda off coz the reviews ive seen is again 1-3% overnight with either wifi/mobile data ON. I did have it in dark mode to save battery and every app that has dark mode on as well. Not sure if something is wrong with the battery. Im worried coz the replacement date is almost due.
Overnight,with airplane mode and battery saver on,I'm getting 2% drain over about 8 hours
Slept for 7 hours. Phone not connected to wifi or mobile data. Battery saver off. Drained 6%. Is that even normal? Or am I just being paranoid? Or am I facing battery issues?

dark mode only makes a difference to amoled type panels. lcd ips etc wont make a difference in dark mode.
Is your device having this kind of issue over heating ?
20-30 minutes of normal usage, browsing in the internet. It makes my nord 2 overheat. Is it normal or faulty ?
It's not normal and I advise you to check what apps are using your battery
chrome and youtube are the only apps are running.
when i tried to reset my device.. after 5 minutes of configuration with data on.. it is overheating..
when playing games, 5g on..
temperature reach 39-41 degrees..
hows your phone ?
30 to 40 degrees isn't bad for playing games, but if you do have serious battery drain while just browsing, then a screenshot of battery usage is probably useful. I use Simple Battery Graph to check the drain and it looks fine for me
Hello, I recently acquired the red magic 7 supernova, and I would like to know your experience regarding the battery issue, I obviously use it to play, and playing games such as genshin, 60 fps high graphics (not at its maximum) consumes almost 40% Battery in 30 min, that is ok? I do streams and I use only for games and daily use. I end up charging it about 3-4 times a day, would that be a problem or could something be wrong with my battery?
The smartphone consumes little both in Active and idle, this in normal use, during the game has high performance and three different power management settings, if you use balanced and 60hz it lasts you slightly longer. It is advisable to use charge separation to exploit it to its full potential for long gaming sessions.

You can always play on a charger with "charging separation " and you want lose battery
