Having a serious problem with mini 2.22.30 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having some issues with the current ron on my phone.. some time ago I loaded miui.us 2.22.17 to my phone followed by siyah 2.3 and all was great in the world.
updated both rom and kernel and now my phone is a nightmare!
In on 2.22.30 miui.us with siyah 2.13 and my phone freezes constantly and gets really really hot.after a battery pull and reboot - the battery looses 900mah and all my Google services force close.. have made no changes beyond updating the ron and the kernel..
Additionally, Im wondering if something is wrong with the ron as battery consumption while on standby with Wi-Fi is on triples even when display is dimmed and background data as well as auto sync are turned off and the phone is in airplane mode. I thought battery calibration would solve this but hasn't changed a thing.. even while the phone is plugged in to charge the battery's draining (not charging) as long as Wi-Fi is on! Tested with 3 different chargers..
can anyone tell me what I can do to get these problems solved? Is flashing back to a Sammy based rom the only thing I can do?

Phone suddenly shut down

Hi,
I have a big problem with my phone. Sometimes it simply shutdowns just after booting. And sometimes it shutdowns if I use it in a normal way (like listening to music or browsing on Facebook) And the battery is not at 0%. It happens at each percentage. This afternoon it even happened at 85%.
The only I thing I noticed that this is not happening if the phone is connected with the power supply.
Have someone of you the same problem? Can someone help me?
Greetings
Hey there!
i also have had this issue a few times, i hear its a motherboard issue i cant tell if that is the main problem tho..
anyways try reinstalling android, i havent has any problems on my phone since i did that
Good luck

Thanks. I already changed my ROM. From CM7 I went back to Wolfbreak. But there is the same problem.
Perhaps it is a battery problem? Should I buy a new battery?
Hi,man i have that problem too,
So,i see that if i plug my charger with no battery and pull the back button then the green light appear like in flash mode.so if you pull the battery when you have this led on,your battery indicates wrong values,in another way if your battery have 5% and you pull it with this strange flashmode then it indicate 88%.
Another symptom is that you not have the long vibration when you pull
out the battery and re pull on
Another one is if you remove sim and sdcard and boot the phone then you have the right battery values and no suck on your batttery for exemple,
in this mode my battery stay at 98% 4 hour O_O
The major problem is that your phone is in flash mode all the time and eat buttery and give wrong values and give WLOD at boot,normaly one before lock and one after.
I don't know what do that but give massive battery drain,massive network usage,and
Constant reboot.
I suspect virus or something like that.
Don't lose your time to try to reflash firmware or different rom cause that not solve the problem,
I reflash 1.6 2.1 2.3 and many custom rom with no success
Tell me if you have the green led when no battery and charger pluged and pull back key repetitively for appear this led
to ensure that you have the same problem.
If I find a way a post here for sure but I think that my phone is dead :-(
I know this is a bit old but I'm necro'ing it just in case it helps someone.
I had the same issue with my stock Optimus One, I installed AOKP and it worked like a charm.
Now i've had my Xperia Neo V for a while now with a custom version of AOKP and had no problem until recently, haven't installed anything new just a couple of updates, filled a new sdcard with music and it shut down out of the blue.
if you have shutdown problemes, it can be motherboard issue, ROM or kernel. Try reinstall android OS, and if you still got shutdowns try different kernel or ROM. I tested many combination and I didnt get any shutdown with Zmod ROM + Doomkernel ( I dont want to promote this rom or kernel, just writing my personal experience) . After changing kernel and ROM you could have batery drain, or it can looks like that. Wipe battery stats and recalibrate the battery. System need some time to create good new battery stats. 2 charging cycles and is good in most cases. Battery drain depends on that how you using phone so charging every day ( once per day) is normal.
It sounds like the 'Old Battery' issue! LiPol/LiIon batteries only have a life span of about 2 years. X10 is older than that now!

[Q] SGS2 battery drain

Latest SiyahKernel with stock rooted ICS 4.0.3.
Now, this has happened twice in the last week. I unplug the phone from my charger and place it under my pillow for the alarm to wake me up, and go to sleep. I disable both data and wifi so that twitter won't update and wake me up prematurely. Then, I oversleep about two hours, and what wakes me up is the phone that's EXTREMELY hot. The alarm doesn't go off and the battery is completely drained.
I have no idea what drained the battery and why the phone was that hot (I couldn't hold the phone for more than two seconds before I started experiencing pain). I've tried searching, but there were no topics like this one. So does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks for the answer, but even after doing everything there I have the same problem.
A few days ago, I was able to "intercept" the process.
I had just used the phone, and put it away. Then after no more than ten minutes, I noticed it getting extremely hot. When I tried unlocking the screen, the phone had frozen, so I had to pull out the battery to turn it off. When I put the battery back in again and turned it on, the battery level was down from around 80% to around 60%. The battery graph showed like vertical drop, so it was clear that it had happened within those 10 minutes.
Is there really noone who has had this problem before?

Try N.E.A.K ICS kernel. I had some really good results with aokp rom. It's compatible with Samsung rom as well I think. Check it out
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
I'd be more worried about it setting my pillow alight
Steps.you could try:
- Wipe all data (Optional maybe an app conflicting with something)
- Update kernel or change rom to CM9 or any other stock
- If none of those work try an different battery
*I believe its an well wakelock had this when i was using siyah 3.1 Rc 1-5*
~Blizz™;
I had roughly the same problem. I did a full wipe and installed a custom from and changed the kernel... everything works perfect then. One of my friends finds taking his battery out every few days works best. Try both and see what results you get.

I would have to guess that it's either the kernel or the battery calibration. Are you using a third party battery? I think with the original samsung batteries, this must not be as much of a problem (I have never owned an original samsung battery for my S2, sadly). I know that with my fake Chinese super-cheap "2150mah" battery, which somehow is small enough to fit in the original cover which makes me think it's more like 1350mah, I have gotten horrible battery drain problems for basically no reason. But, after following the thread where it was explained to charge to 100% and then take the battery out, wait three minutes, and put it back in, I've had the phone stay at 100% for over four hours, with wifi, syncing, and all that turned on.
I should mention that I sometimes also have had this problem where it seems to be charged, then for some reason it drops to 20%.
If your battery is third party, make sure you calibrate it. I've also noticed that the more roms I flash, the worse my battery life is, so I'm trying to resist the temptation of flashing something new every twenty minutes.
Good luck.
/proc/last_kmsg
Use it.
You could try downloading Better Battery Stats and hope to identify the wakelock or app that's draining the battery. If it's not either of those and you haven't always had an issue with it under your pillow, I'd say it's time to try a wipe and new rom and if the problem persists even after that...hardware problem.
Have you been able to leave it under the pillow previously? Part of me is wondering if the overheating itself is affecting the battery and causing it to degrade though I doubt it should happen so quickly and in such an odd fashion as you're experiencing.
After a bit more tinkering and testing, I'm almost 100% certain that it's the kernel, as it was the only thing "constant" in my testing. I reflashed over and over. I also think it has something to do with the wifi, since when wifi's off, my phone is fine and doesn't get touched by the described bug. So right now, I'm waiting for SiyahKernel 3.1 to be released while keeping wifi off.
On the changelog for RC6, it says that the "battery drain issue" is fixed, and on the changelog for 3.1, it says "new wifi drivers", so I'm assuming it'll be ok once the 3.1 is released. Thanks for all your replies and help.

[Q] Xperia turning off... and off... and off

Hi, I got a very annoying problem.
Since a few weeks ago, flashed a ROM and when I've tried to use the phone, it keeps turning off randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. So, I tried to take it back to the clean original 2.3.3 ROM, but it keeps happening. ¿Any idea? ¿Any solution? Please, help me.
Oh, something else, it only happens when the phone's used with the battery, when it's attached to my laptop and used as modem, the problem doesn't appear.
I had the same problem, it said android system shutting down. I just bought new battery and it works.

I think, it's the most logical option, but I was trying to get some feedback first. Thanks.
Maybe calibrating the battery.
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda premium
go back to stock and see if it helps! try to troubleshoot the problem! Also, don't install any apps!
There are instructions on how to calibrate your battery in the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489214&highlight=calibrate+battery
If the problem is the battery, you might find that after calibration that the battery drains faster than expected, and still shuts down, only this time it warns you that it's gonna shut down. This would then be the true battery drain. If that is the case, you might just need to buy a new one anaway.
Otherwise, I don't know what else could be causing those symptoms. (Other than an electrical fault, from accumulated damp or something)

thanks so much..............
What happens it's that the phone shuts down suddenly, the message appears for a seconds and it's off. Wait for a few seconds, try to turning on again and sometimes works for some minutes, and sometimes it's keeping turning off, and off, and off. But, the battery level seems to be correct, I mean, when I turn on the phone after one of these sudden shutdowns, only drains the logical ammount of battery for starting use the phone.
I think... if the problem never appears when it's attached to the laptop and charging constantly, and magically appears when I used the phone with the battery, it's probably just a battery issue, right?
I have a similar problem to this, my phone randomly shuts down after showing the 'Android System shutting down' message but sometimes loses ALOT of battery. Last night it went from 78% to 8% after shutting down :/ I noticed it happened more often when im playing games or taking a video, things that take up more battery. When i keep it plugged in it keeps awake so the problem stops but i cant keep it in all day every day. I dont really want to buy a new battery until i really really have to, but I have had the phone and battery since the x10 first came out about 2 years ago, so anyone any other ideas? Thanks

could it be hardware problem like broke battery or bad connection on motherboard?
Could be pal are u within your warranty (sony (Ericsson) it has a 2 year global warranty but u need to ring ur network provider and ask them to put u through to se
Sent from my X10S using XDA
Yeah this happened to me before about 6 months ago, so i went to my provider (3) and they sent it away to Sony Ericsson and they sent me a whole new phone but I didnt want to do that again really, but i may have to. When im not using WiFi or 3G then it works fine, and when its plugged in to the charger it works so i guess its a case of not usuing the internet when im not near a charger
I have the same problem.
My X10 reboot random when using 3G (Wifi is still OK) and Gaming. Now i'm on Stock 2.3 and stock kernel and....wait. (Flash some ROM and change the new battery....but not solved )
Anyone help us !!! Plizzzzzzzzzzz
Maybe your solution
I had the same problem sometimes with original kernel after 1 year of using my phone.
Then i tried to install a new rom, and i was thinking the problem was solved. But it was not...
I finished by trying the X10S (v7) rom with DoomLord kernel (1113mhz) and this problem was solved...
I tried some kernels and this one was stable with a good battery life and no shutdown problem. With some other kernels i had this problem back.
So I think that kernel could be the problem.
Infortunately, with the rom X10S v8, Doomlord kernel cause issues with wifi (unable to get ip adress). So now i use kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1 and no shutdown problem anymore.
*Maybe the solution is*
Try to change your kernel with one of thoose :
- kCernel here (in "2. kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1")
- DoomLord (search fo x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-1113_wifi.zip)
Note :
- With this two kernels, you'll have to download appropriate wifi patch and install it from SDcard via xRecovery
- don't try to install X10S v8 if your bootloader is locked
So, try to flash your X10 using flashtool with Doomlord kernel
Tell us if it worked, i hope it solved your problem as it do it for me.
voltage
Hi,
I have had this issue too, for the last few months. No matter what ROM/Kernel, batt stats cleared, etc, still the same. Can idle all day, but as soon as I use 3G, GPS, or use any intensive app, she shuts down.
As an experiment I installed a battery monitor that plots graphs of % charge, temp, voltage, etc over time.
I had a close look at my logged graphs and have noticed that just before each reboot, the voltage seems to dip drastically. Battery charge is fine, does not seem to matter. but a sharp drop in voltage occurs. Increased draw for the more complex tasks (3G, GPS, etc) seems to be tripping it up.
As the Battery is now 2 years old, I figured it is just starting to fail? And iv noticed lots of people are suddenly coming out and complaining about this issue.
I just ordered a few new Batteries from 'Ebay', will see how we go!...
peace.
[INFO / SOLUTION] Suddenly shuts off with red LED.
Good to know:
The X10i/a have now reached an age, where battery failures is very common nowadays. Specially if one got the device early on or just after the launch.
Symptoms of a failing battery:
* Device suddenly shuts off, even when the battery have several percent remaining.
* Device drains fast, even when not used.
* Device might just shut off for no whatsoever reason when doing something that draws a lot of power, and will restart just fine.
* Device has a surprisingly fast charge time from empty to full.
When the device shuts off all of a sudden, it's followed by the indicator LED blinking red, rapidly three times, and might repeat this at restart attempts.
Sometimes it takes several tries before the device starts up again. Battery just needed a few minutes/an hour of "rest".
There's nothing wrong with the device.
Just get a fresh replacement battery and it'll work just fine again.
But beware:
There are many fake batteries out on the market, claiming that they have higher capacity, yet very slim in size.
There's a simple rule when it comes to battery capacity:
More capacity = larger in size, which might need a special back-cover. There's no escape from that.
If one would happen to find a such incredible slim battery with super capacity, the battery security circuits and/or chemical makeup probably have been circumvented/changed, and have a high risk of catching fire and/or explode when charging/discharging.
Yeah thanks for all the advice and sharing your problems. My phone does reboot alot when im using 3G or taking a video. Recently my battery would reboot, drop alot of percentage and then increase percentage without charging...magic I dont really want to buy a new battery because my new contract starts in june i think, but maybe il have to. Good luck for everyone else dolving there problems
Also, [email protected], i am on doom kernel and i still get reboots :/

[Q] [HELP] Battery Drain, probably hardware issue

Hi guys, this is not an usual battery drain problem. I am more or less an advanced user of android but I´m writing here because I tried all my ideas and none of then worked.
I have 2 Neo V, stock. One day one of them started to have battery drain. Im talking about 6-7%/hour with no usage, the other one is around 1-2%. So with any use my phone don´t last more than 14h.
I started to check the usual(wifi policy, services running..), and don´t found anything, I switched the batteries between both to see if that was the problem but drain was still in the same phone.
I rooted the phone, tried BetterBatteryStats and CPUspy and all is OK, most of the time DeepSleeep etc.
After all I unlocked the bootloader with the S1tool testpoint etc and flashed some Cyanogen 9 rom + kernel, and the problem still persists.
I think there is nothing I can do and my phone is useless because I suppose I don't have warranty anymore.
Any ideas about what could be? Even if its hardware, what kind of hardware problem can make this high battery drain if the CPU is not working ?
Thx in advance
edit: In HTC we can also flash different RIL´s (radio interface layer) to improve signal db, avoid high battery consumes etc. There is something similar in NEO V? Because I didn´t find anything.
There are a couple things you can do:
1) Did you check that you had mobile signal all the time??, because losing mobile signal is THE biggest battery drain possible
2) Post some BetterBatteryStats screenshots so we can see what's happening under the hood
3) Try a different ROM/Kernel combination, that sometimes helps
And no, there's no RIL flashing here, just different ROMs/Kernel/Baseband combinations
I HAD the same problem
Even I faced a similar problem on my Neo V after getting FXP CM9. FXP 122 was fine. But FXP 123 and 124 drained the battery very badly(No considerable Deep Sleep in CM 9). So I switched to AOSP Polish blood. Battery life was excellent but it lacked customization, so I switched to AOKP v38+ AOSP kernel. Superb ROM but again not so good on battery (but better than CM 9). Yesterday I flashed the FXP 125 kernel. More than 5-6 hrs of WiFi, 15-20 calls and texting and some instagram and I still have 20%. I'm charging my phone now!!
I´ve uploaded some screens of bbs, cpuspy and batterydrain with wifi on and after switching it off.
Hope it reveals something, what really annoy me is the deep sleep activated most of the time, so I don´t really know what to search.
Just as I thought, what's happening to you is what happened to me a year ago and I thought changing phones would help.
Your problem is basically, bad signal, as you can see in screens 4,5 and 7,8 "No Data Connection" and "No or Unknown Signal" are preventing your phone from going into Deep Sleep, the problem comes from bad 3G signal (or just bad network signal if you don't have 3G) and that is known to basically eat up all your battery.
How is the network signal where you are???, because it looks like it's realllllyyyyy bad.

Are you sure? Take a better look.
Or at least deep sleep graph. And those graphs "No Data Connection" and "No or Unknown Signal", are also ok(ven though the name is confusing a bit), I have the same.
I'm not COMPLETELY sure but this is exactly what happened to me a year ago with a Samsung Galaxy Mini, also if you look at graphs 4 and 7 Deep Sleep doesn't have as much time as the data and signal bars, to me that seems like those two are keeping the phone in wakelock state more than it is spending on Deep Sleep.
I´ve been experiencing this problem for weeks. About signal I tried everything because:
- Phone worked perfect with SIM and all bars (I live in the downtown of a big city)
- When the problem started to happen I switched to another phone and this one was working without SIMcard so there was no signal at all.
- Some days ago I used another SIM which also have all bars.
I Don´t think there is a problem of the signal . Also in my other phone, and as you can see, Deep sleep is working fine.
I reread your first post and the only hardware problem that I could think of is a faulty battery, did you use to leave it charging all night??, because that tends to burn the battery and it does hold a lot less charge.
According to what I've read, everything seems to be fine software side, my only idea would be that you reflashed stock ROM and check if the problem persists, reflash but don't restore any data, the problem could be a misbehaving app.
I have 2 Neo V (my father´s and mine) I switched batteries, and the problem persist in the same telephone. Also both of them have less than 2 months, so batteries are new.
Also revised the voltage in the CPU and it is alright.
Well, the only thing left to check (IMHO) is a misbehaving app or service, maybe check for task killers or battery savers in the "broken" phone, those are known to eat up the battery like it's ice cream!!
I believe I have the same problem. I can't remeber when it started since I tried lots of roms,
but I flashed latest ICS from pccompanion with no other tweaks for some days and it
continued the same.
I also thought about bad signal, but at night in flight mode it also spent 40% of the battery.
With a good kernel, undervolting, 2G... I can get to 15% 20% at night.
I've also switched batteries with other neo's and no difference.
Phone is 5 months old.
Not sure if it might come from the rooting process. If I understand right, the 0% issue
that some were having was more of hardware issue (or I'm completely wrong?) Then maybe
there is also something related?

0% was a software related error (flashing GB 2.3.3 after having 2.3.4 broke the battery gauge firmware), however that problem doesn't exist on ICS, I find it reallt strange that both your phones have that problem, I've had my Neo for 8 months and the most battery I've lost overnight has been 10% (with CM9 and really bad signal).
Maybe the best thing you guys can do is send your phone to service.
I have a similar problem with my mt15:
when I buy my phone battery was ok. about two days with intensive social use, no gaming.
5 months later, battery drain begins: deep sleep and 8% per hour , airplane mode 8% per hour
tried almost every popular rom in development forum ICS stock, codename, tweaked, cm7.2, cm9, jjhybrid, KA, ...
tried every popular kernel: stock gb, stock ics, alliance, suave, super, nightelf, cm kernels...
battery drain happens while phone ON, happens with airplane mode, AND happens with PHONE TURNED OFF.
I thinked about battery fault. replaced my battery with a new genuine one. Same results.
If I remove the battery from phone, IT does not drain. 24h later battery is still 100%
So my neo has a hardware problem I think. And there are many people with same problem. look for "neo battery drain while off"
Neo is a buggy phone. you can be lucky, or not. but many people has these issues or 0%batt.
I give up!
After sony abandoned x10 mini pro (random reboots, eclair), I had given another chance to sony with neo. I like sony designs, but Im really tired.
sorry about my creepy english
Try freezing "Calendar" with Titanium Backup and see if battery lasts longer. It helped for me.

about battery drain when phone is off
its not consuming your battery while its off
when you are turning the phone on
cpu usage will be on 100% to run all necessary sevices and apps and most use goes to get signal
that's normal
i suppose its aroumd 3-5% of battery consume
im not gonna be at the same side with you
actually neo is a wonderful phone
i beated the score of sensation xe in antutu benchmark with it
just google it around the internet
there will be some fix mate..
Neo is not buggy at all maybe yours but not mine
this might work for you
i just found it
1-flash build 42 official rom on your device
2-root the rom (there are plenty of ways around internet)
3-flash this kernel via flashtool forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=780407&d=1321113977
4-now turn on the phone its gonna show 85% of battery
5-install this forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=897721&d=1329003275
6-plug the charger into your phone
7-from the menu of app select start full charge
its gonna take 3-3:30 to be full
may be you've seen it around web
i translated it from a persian forum
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU
In my opinion, a phone broken by a software update/downgrade is buggy.
About battery draining while off, not all neo have this issue, but mine is not the only one.
On the other hand, about power consumption while booting, if i remove battery while off, wait some hours, and replace, after boot battery is 100%
Sent from my JJ's Hybrid MT15i
I had this problem too, even when the mobile was off, the battery was drained...
I sent my phone to after sales service and now it's normal drain 2 - 3% per hour when idle. (I was on stock rom and kernel, never changed).
There is maybe a bad hardware series

[Q] Huge battery drain on use has started last week. [Kinda Solved]

Hello everyone, I'm using Motorola Atrix with Epinter CM10 4.1 ROM for last 2 months, I was very happy with battery life. Phone wasn't getting hot and with normal usage, even with 3G on (in my country only options are 2G and 3G), I could get %40 of battery end of the day. But for no reason, phone has started to get hot (only 2G on) and drains battery really quickly for last 1 week. I can't even get %5 battery left from morning to evening now. I didn't change anything, only installed Adobe Flash 11.1, then I deleted it but nothing has changed. Phone gets into deep sleep no problem with that, no background apps. I did a virus scan both on phone and from computer, both came out clean. I reinstalled rom. Nothing. I'm gonna crash my phone against wall it's really annoying. I think I'm gonna do factory wipe and reinstall rom again.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Do you leave wifi switched on at all times?
I use MIUI on my Atrix (partially based on epinter's work, I believe? Correct me if I'm wrong), but I have found that the phone suddenly starts staying awake for no apparent reason a while (often a couple of days) after I've left wifi switched on. This obviously causes bad battery drain. I can usually get the phone to sleep again by rebooting with wifi switched off (I think) and a battery pull is invariably required.
I now just switch on wifi when I have large files to download then turn it off straight afterwards.
Not sure if it is the same issue or not, but Better Battery Stats (which can be downloaded on xda) indicated the Rilj process was stopping the phone from sleeping when this problem occurred. It is worth trying this app to see if it gives any indication what is causing your battery drain.

No I switch between mobile data and wifi. Thank you for your suggestions and opinions but I really don't think my problem is about sleep. It started to get hot and drain when I actually use the phone. For example, I was checking Twitter for 10 min. with 3G and battery was dropping %1. Now it drops %5 with 2G on and gets really hot like 35-37 Celsius degree. I'm using Watchdog to oversee processes and nothing is working without my knowledge on background.
Hi,
I have the same problem on the nottachtrix roms since the last 2 weeks, I tried switching to epinter cm10 with no luck. Ordered a new battery to check if the battery is dead or if the atrix is faulty
if you find a fix, please post it here

install gsam battery monitor to see your phone's awake time. this drain happens to me also when i listen to music or take a photo. something with mediaserver keeps the phone awake and then only thing to do is kill mediaserver or a reboot.
Regardless of which other apps you are using to monitor app and process usage, I'd recommend trying Better Battery Stats as this is much more detailed and low-level than other apps I've encountered.
It's a free download for xda members:

Little update.
I turned back to factory settings, then did a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe. I was so annoyed I even did system wipe manually from advanced options in recovery. I reinstalled Epinter CM10 rom, got my apps back thanks to Titanium Backup. Installed GSAM (thanks to saldirai), downloaded SetCpu and chose Nvidia Tegra 2 T20/AP20H, underclocked to 912 mhz. Couldn't done any undervolting sadly, says something about governor.
Now I'm checking battery stats and temperature by GSAM, so far no complaints and better from yesterday BUT I haven't use my phone heavily yet. Temperature changes between 26-31 Celsius degrees, battery drops %1-2 percent on use -also it needs calibration- with only wifi use which is always on. I'll update this post if anything changes.
Update: I think I've found the problem. When I choose The Weather Channel widget to "use my location" phone immediately starts to get warm. Weird point is, this wasn't an issue before. Apart from that I'm playing New Star Soccer and Carmageddon for 3-4 hours with wi-fi full time on and battery drops to %30. I'm really happy about that. Normal battery temperature is about 25-32 during the day and different from before it quickly gets cold after I stop playing games. Just like before.
