Hi everyone
mine is sexy and hot a hell but it's not good
it works at 38C and when watching video or playing games it gets to 40C
and at 41C it reset and kinda smell like burning
I use "Battery monitor widget pro"
please tell me your device temp
Buy an aftermarket cooler.Noctua is good..Mugen 3 not bad too.
yeah x10 runs hotter than any phone I've ever owned..
no wonder so many people have motherboard issues and battery dies so quick.

yeah my hero ran hot too..
my newer HTC barely gets to 30 degrees even overclocked to 2ghz
I always have my x10 clocked to the max with smartassv2, and it normally gets anywhere between 30 - 38 degrees with normal usage. Watching videos and stuff gets it to around 40, games get it to 40 - 51. I normally don't let it get up to 50 though.
And if you can smell something burning, that should be a good indication to give it a rest...
Guess I just got a lucky x10

That's true, but only because I'm overclocking so much. On stock clock speeds it rarely goes above 40.

That is quite true. Compared to all of my friends HTC's, Samsung's, LG's, Moto's and even iPhones, my phone is probably hot enough to cook eggs on.
so I guess it's not fix properly
it's much better now after cpu fc fix but it still resets when go up to 40
what is my next move?
throwing it out?
because I don't want spend another 50$ and get nothing
Mine runs between 29 and 40 sometimes 45 after a lot of abuse while charging

Its quite cold here in Melbourne so my phone runs about 29 degrees average... Which is why I think I froze my battery now its draining super quick no matter what firmware I use. Oh well.

Hello again dear xda members
I've been using S II for over 2 weeks now! I get the following(which many of you do get also). When I turn on WiFi and start surfing, the phone starts to overheat and battery is drained like a juice.
Well, after a long study, I've found out that it's the stock browser's fault!
Yeah! I opened WiFi, surfed a little and it started to heat up! Well, I was trying to download something, and since stock sucks at downloading( except if you add to it an app from the market called Downloadfiles) I opened DolphinHD!!
What I saw, or felt-whatever-, was just
After 5 minutes, the phone cooled down, temperature became normal and of course battery was less consumed!
So, to all people who have heat issues, it turns out(at least in my humble opinion) that it's the stock browser's fault!!!
Any thoughts anyone? Similar experiences?
I've been using it for 10 days and experienced no such overheating, but battery time should be much better.

Really? It doesn't overheat never? even not when playing games?
I thought mine was faulty, but I went to couple of stores where they have it open for customers to play with, and I did the same as mine and it started to heat up!
Mine heats up a bit after playing a game or running a certain app for a while, but I never experience overheating with the stock browser. Though you should take in to consideration that the GS2 is a thin device, the CPU is close to your hands. Most phones also have to exessivly keep searching for connections because it is weak or something is blocking its way. The transmitting/receiving device is located at the top along with the CPU so it'll tend to get hot. Most smartphones do overall.
Also, the phone gets hotter while using it connected to a charger just because the battery is filling up the same time you are using it. Also, take in to consideration that no patch for true dualcore support has yet been released nor announced. Just some factors why the phone heats up.
thanks man!
Well, heating up is normal-as far as I read in here-... But when using Stock Browser, I'm talking about overheat! really! I believe it's a bug, since as said, nor Firefox, Dolphin and Skyfire(I use all of them) produce that issue! And I disabled flash content(thought that might make it better) but it was the same! Don't know!
Anyways, thanks for answering!
OVer wifi I have no problems. Over 3G is another story! and playing games is another story. It warms up every 5 minutes while playing games.
Yours too huh? well, mine does that on WiFi!
What is Overheating? How do you know it is overheating unless you know the temperature of the battery? Well OP and other posters who are saying the phone gets overheated please mention the temperature of it. The ambient temp of Europe/USA is 20-25°C Max, and if the device runs even cool then it will have temp around 30-32°C, that is much higher than the ambient temp and probably that's why you guys are feeling the phone is overheating but in fact it's not. Here in Calcutta, ambient is 32-33°C and the Phone temp in normal is the same, so we/I don't feel it's overheating, only when I surf net for an hour straight with charging then the temp rises up to 44-45°C, that's when it could be said that the phone is running on high temp, still for the hardware we are given 45°C is not hot.
So before saying the phone is overheating please check the battery temp.
Regards.
how do I measure battery temperature?
Ok, Battery life widget?
I'll measure then I'll let you know!
There is a reason stock browser uses more battery and heats more. It uses GPU to render pages more quickly! But for me even on stock it is not that hot, more than on other phones, but thats what you get for a thin phone.
Maybe somone will test battery life with stock+GPU and dolphin browser with no GPU. Maybe the difference is not that big at all, maybe just GPU heats more than CPU but uses same battery.
now let's not forget android doesn't have graphics acceleration, and without it the GPU has to work harder which generates more heat

Your ambient is 27°C, right? So it's normal to me. Anything less than 50°C should be OK, imo.

My ambient is 34 to 30 °C
Ok, so my phone is fine? Wow! !! thanks

Summer in Greece and sub-30-degrees Celsius don't go together.That's why we're hot!
Anyway,****ty joking aside,inside a bus today,under the sun with an ambient temperature of about 35-36 degrees(dunno how you put the degrees symbol pal ) and with my GPU overclocked at 400MHz with 1100mV using tegrak overclock ultimate,I played some Angry Birds and,although the phone reported no more than 44 degrees,it was very hot at the top.
My opinion?If you(or me obviously) manage to somehow burn/fry something,make sure to do it so bad that it doesn't even respond to Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick! That way maybe Sammy won't notice...Shush!

^ What he said!
Even tho Skimminstones' reply was funny as hell ....
49 *is* pretty damn hot. Anything over 40 and I start to worry a bit, which does happen occasionally with some kernel betas, especially early on after that initial flash/till you do a couple of charge/discharge/reboot cycles. Running a kernel script before you flash the kernel tends to make this less of a problem I've found.
I'm running an early (stable) version of Siyah and I find the average temp of the device with light/no use is 23-25, moderate use is 25-27, 27-31 with heavy use (all dependant on ambient temp), and it sometimes gets up to 36-37 when charging, more so when the battery has less charge (say less than 40% or so). The temperature gradually drops as the battery charges & returns to "normal".
Without knowing what your setup is (i.e kernel, rom, etc), its hard to say what might be causing this.
But as far as I'm concerned, 49 is *not* normal.

You mean the sexy body or the temperature
For the temperature, it is quite high for me also. Especially around the camera cover, All of people I know have this high heat also.
Never measure by numbers..So I don't know about that
Phone used to get hot on stock roms but thats it
Mine runs very cool with my Anker battery. Never gets hot.
hello there
i have my xperia s for a while following my old x10
i use most of my phones for development purposes some people might know my modded cm7
well up to the question
when i start running games such as minecraft-templerun-shadowgun
after like 5-10 mins it starts to get hot i mean HOT! i return to check the temp it after 10 mins it was 42C and the back was flaming hot and it was not even on the charger!
could someone explain why sometimes i get 46-50C?
maybe it is beacause of the thin back cover or maybe the cpu-gpu uses more power of the battery idk?
any ideas?

Same here. I played about 10 minutes of dead space and the phone was real hot. Will this be fixed in ICS or it's a hardware problem?

but why does it do this maybe beacause of the built in battery?
just like the one x it almost burns my legs
okay people i am going to do some tests
as following
i will play the game that makes the phone the hottest 49C
every test gets 30 mins after 30 mins of testing i check the temp and post
first test is game on full brightness
second is lowest brightness
third is half brightness
fourth will be a test with lowest brightness and airplane mode enabled
i will post the results soon
first test is game on full brightness=46-47C
second is lowest brightness=41C
third is half brightness=42C
fourth will be a test with lowest brightness and airplane mode enabled=38C
Maybe Try a test with cpu freq at 1.2ghz?

My phone gets really hot when using the data connection on the phone. When i surf the web, video chat, or do anything that uses the data connection the phone becomes hot. it also happens when i play games too. it gets hot around the lower part of the phone around the area where the home buttons located. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else before i get it exchanged. The highest temp i got was 104 Degrees F.
i cant say for sure what temps are safe. i haven't done the research. but my wife and i both will notice the bottom getting pretty hot when pushing the phone. surfing & gaming. not so hot you cant touch it, but much warmer than any of my other droids iv used in the past.

i just played dead trigger for 10-15 minutes and now the phone is at 95 degrees lol. Idk if thats normal.
My phone gets hot at the bottom, as well.
Hopefully Samsung will make some firmware changes to better regulate clock speed according to temperature.
My phone gets really hot also towards the bottom when just using it for anything. Then again it doesn't help I'm in +100 degree weather and outside all day and night.

Yeah, just like in desktop computers, ambient temperature plays a big part.
Mine gets very hot as well. I'm on the 2nd one too. Its just because it is a very slim design, coupled with a strong processor = hot.
Gets a bit scary when playing a game for 20 minutes though..

You can change the clock speeds with SetCPU, because they're set pretty high on stock, 1.5 Ghz max and 1 Ghz min.
Mine gets hotter with regular use to heavy use.
Been noticing that while using it the back gets really warm. Almost certain this was not an issue before. Exchange needed?

Your phone comes with built in protection to throtle down the CPU when it gets too hot in order to avoid frying it. With that mod what you did was to tell the phone to forget about throtling down and to simply run as fast as it needs to no matter the temp. This makes it a lot harder for the phone to cool down on its own (since the CPU is still producing a lot of heat) and I guess I don't have to tell you how bad heat can be for electronics...

If it gets very very hot, I am sad to inform you, that your unit is faulty.
I had the same problem with my first unit. Also noticed that the benchmark results were quite lower as they should be.
Exchanged it for another one, this one gets only mildly hot and benchmark result are what they should be!
this is the first phone I've had in a while that doesn't actually get super hot.. like my s4 and dna did. how hot are we talking? hottest I've gotten up to was probably 38 degrees Celsius for battery temp, and like 65 for cpu

You got it!
I feel sorry for all the Sprint employees and LG for the users that blindly turn off thermal throttling, having no clue what it does, and then blame the phone for being defective.
Recently some of my games for updated and now running a lot cooler. I think most game still ramped up the gpu way too high than why needed to run the game smoothly.

Even when I punish this phone it just gets slower, never really hot at all. I used to be afraid of burning my hands on my SGS II, but this never gets hot enough for me to worry at all.
So if my G2's cpu gets to 70 degrees and battery about 43 degrees in 10 minutes of playing gtasa, is that bad enough for service?

You know my phone got really hot with my 3 to old playing Angry Birds Go the other day and I was pretty sure this had something to do with it. The only thing is that the way this is worded is confusing as heck. Do I need to have this switch in the on or off position? High temperature property off? Seems like the ON position is correct so it will throttle down the CPU accordingly.
