Well...phone's been working great. Got Nero 5 and the DoW 1.4ghz kernal on it and I love it. The past 3-4 days days, it's been freezing periodically...but maybe only 2-3 times a day, if that.
Today, when I woke up, it froze on me. I pulled the battery and turned it back on and it just hangs at the DoW screen...
...wtf...
It won't go to recovery, it won't boot, it just sits at the DoW screen...that's it.
Anyone else had this happen before?
Lol maybe you fried some hardware. Overclocking to unstable speeds is such a good idea! The freezing should have been your first indication that it was time to go back to a stock kernel.

umm can you get into download mode?
and yeah OC'ing IS dangerous specially 1.4... if your going to OC do it at 1.2 its fast and stable.
if you can get into downoadmode, then you can fix it. but if not, you probably did fry your hardware.
just flash differenbt kernel
go in to recovery and wipe cache partitiion it will vipe any overclocking you have done and will reset it to default
It actually did come back on...took about an hr though. If it does any more weirdness, back to a 1.2 kernel I go...
you should downloadS ETCPU and lower frequency of the cpu to 1ghz or w.e is stable if it freeze again go wipe cache partiton or factory reset ether one will help .

I have SetCPU and, honestly, I think the problem wasn't that I was running it too high. I used to run it at 800 mhz to try to save battery since DoW DESTROYS the battery at 1.4ghz (DoB maybe?...lol) and I'm not doing that any more. I'm running it 1ghz - 1.4ghz now. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks all!!
lol it will freeze again , take my word for it
YOU ARE BETTER OFF DOWNLOADING DRAGON KERENEL 3.2.1 AND IT ACTUALLY WILL SAVE YOUR BATTERY ONE THING DIFFERENT IS DOW KERNEL OVVERCLOCKS YOUR GPU ALSO , helped ?
Hey zuse, just use the stock kernel. I'm glad to hear it is working again, but just play it safe from now on.

I am/was running evil fascinate 3.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035420) and touchwiz otb realoaded 1.6 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011626)
i wasn't overclocking too high or doing anything weird whatsoever. out from no where my phone froze, so i did three button method to get it to reboot, and then it got stuck on the SAMSUNG screen. after battery pull, nothing. What do i need to do to fix this?
[EDIT] nvm for now. i odin'd the cmw recovery and it's working for now.

Go here and follow the directions to a tee..all the links you will need are in the first post..it may be overkill but if your phone truly is borked this will get it working but back to stock and you will have to reinstall your rom again.
my phone freezes when I overclock too much and I just pull the batt instead of three finger booting but I have never had a problem with it not booting after a freeze..that's how I find out how much overclock I can handle!
I keep clocking higher and higher and running
Quadrant, using the camera and a few other things to really load the cpu and I do this until it freezes
Then I turn it down one setting and retry to load the cpu to get it to freeze until it stops.
Anyways the link below may be overkill but it will get your phone back and, if you try to over clock again and it freezes you should be able to just pull the batt and re insert..good luck! I hope you get your phone back.

Mine is 28 C and I'm using phone for more than 2 hours, internet browser. If you tried differents rom and kernel and still nothing, I suggest you to clear up you phone. Reboot in recovery, mount and storage and format system, data, cache, factory reset, boot in download mode, flash stock ics rom, then root with cf root kernel. Then install again rom which you're using at the moment.
I9100 has the highest heat emission (my brothers 35 degrees)
I9100T is better (mines 28 degrees)
I9100G has the best i hear but i cant confirm that
The best you can do is find a good modem, as i noticed ever since i switched from LPQ to LP6 i've heated up a lot less
i also use siyah so i think that doesn't cause huge amounts of heating, as mentioned before always close apps
Hope this helped and good luck

Thank u for ur replay will try to change the modem
But what does the modem have to do with hesting up ?
As i know hesting up does not have to do with modem only kernel ?
Am i wrong :S
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Oh no your not wrong, both kernel, and modem have to do with heating up, but the Siyah kernel hasnt had any complaints with heating, so that's what makes me think your modem is the problem
I dunno which modem will be best for your device sry
you will have to figure out, use instructions here
My SGS2 is going back for repairs due to overheating. It started by draining a full battery in an hour. Battery temp was 64C and now it heats up just by inserting the battery and not even turning on the phone. Not possible to charge it either. Tried flashing stock rom, factory resets but no go so my belief is that this is a hardware issue and not a software problem. Needless to say it has never been close to water or any other fluids. I got the phone about two months ago so hopefully this will be, and should be IMO, covered by warranty.
Will be interesting to see what the repair center says...
Do you check for any wakelock?
Or try change you sim telco

Hi,
My Wife's GS2 had a problem overheating recently too - it was stock ROM, not even rooted, so it wasn't overclocked. I pulled it apart, racking my brains trying to find the problem. I tried updating the the latest official ROM, updating the Modem, but nothing...
It turned out that her Internal SD Card was full, which must have been causing IO issues, and the the CPU to overwork or something, because as soon as I transferred all the photos etc. from the card, and cleared caches, it resumed running at a reasonable temperature.
Sometimes the answer is simpler than the one we're looking for - or it certainly was in my case.
Hope that helps.
Hi...mine was heating up like hell too, and its 3 days old...
for me it was the facebook mobile application on samsung galaxy sII i9100 (ICS). Installed KH3 modem , no change .. but task manager showed 30-66 cpu usage...the top 10% surface of the face of the phone and the back of the phone near the camera was searing hot, somewhere up to 50-55 degrees Celsius, making a phonecall in those conditions was very uncomfortable, and i was afraid of hardware damage if that went on. So, If i shut it down and used facebook from browser, it cooled off back to 30-35 degrees in a matter of minutes. only mobile data was turned on, gps, bluetooth, wifi was always off.
So im guessing for these kinda heat-ups (top of the phone and upper back) it is app which drains the CPU...
Note : i had no problems with battery life, meaning it resisted 12h moderate/heavy usage even with facebook mobile app...but i always try to exit all apps when im not using the phone ( bad(?) symbian habit)
you should change the modem :good:

Hey guys!
I know some thread has been created about the hot Galaxy S II issues, but I have a different experience.
The first time I flashed my phone to ICS, my phone was really hot, and that was really unusual when I used GB before. I was sick of my battery was draining, and my phone was hot, I switched back to GB Checkrom, and guess what? The phone was still hot.
First I thought I could be the rom, but I tried different kernel to see how it is going on when I had ICS, thereafter I switched back to Checkrom GB, and I used NEAK kernel, which I had good experiement, but my phone was still to damn hot, and I reflashed second try, which was Siyah Kernel. Still to hot, now I'm using SLIM ICS, and my phone is hot! What is going on??? Have I been flashing to much, and damaged my hardware or something?
When I'm taking a phone call, or browsing a bit on the net, or even listening to music, charging or standby, still too hot! Any ideas how to reduce the temperature of my phone?
Thanks!
Did you allow the phone to have a few complete battery recharging cycles after each time you flashed another rom? Mine gets hotter right after a new Rom is flashed, after few cycles goes back to normal.

1: hope you wiped when you went from GB to ICS and again when ICS to GB
2: change your modem, or better do a full wipe and flash a stock GB ROM.

Yup I was like u asking questions here about HEATING effect of SGS2.. But let me explain u wy i got back... When I bought my phone last month 13th I couldn tolerate unrooted phone.. So rooted and installed a custom ROM... U wont believe me while calling i couldnt hold it on EAR! It was that hot... Even if my young bro plays a game or watches a movie it used to get burn like hell..
1. I tried Siyah Kernel My phone was HOT!!(NO hard feelings for Siyah )
2. I tried Fluxi Kernel viola heating effect gone!! But still the phone used to heat up after 20 minutes of continous usage. I mean heavy usage like 3G...
3. Finally tried KI4 modem now the real action started no heat even after heavy usage!!
Dont know whether these things might work on ur phone(In theory must work ) But keep trying different kernel and modems till u come to know this heat is tolearable before that

first u should prevent bumping posts ma8, u want to add some thing then just edit ur OP,do not add a post again for that alltogether
for ur issue, change ur kernel and see
Change kernel or try lowering max Cpu frequency in Extweaks or Rom control in Settings.

well my mother bought 3 phones from the a shop.. all of them heats up while playing games.. booth rooted and no root and flashed phones.
maybe i should try the custom roms kernel instead of flashing siyah over it ^^
but i will try that with lower max frequenzy and that xD
Send back to Samsung
Send back to Samsung
Well we had 2xs2's and mines never heated up to within 15c of hers.
This is why I think your phone is as faulty as hers was.
Its up to you if you want to try different combos.
