Is it possible to keep the screen powered for as long as am using the applications? Kinda troublesome that it keeps turning it self off in games or Google maps for example when am actively using them.
"Screen On" tool on Market.
Thanks i'll check it out. Though a question, is it normal for the Galaxy S2 to turn the screen of when running games and such? Had a Desire before, and am not 100% sure, but i got the feeling that when it played games and such the screen stayed on... Thought maybe that was an built in feature, it's okay for the screen to turn off when your doing some light usage, but when playing games those tend to take up a lot of resources, which should tell the phone that the screen needs to be on in some way?
Yep, it's normal. Use screen on

There's a permission that games/apps can use that keeps the screen on. I'd imagine that if they don't request this at install time that they're unable to do this as the phone won't allow it to stop battery drain.
Hi guys!
So this has happend to me twice now. Two days ago when I was surfing on Dolphin the phone just freezed. Nothing happend. It was vibrating when I pushed the touch buttons.
What I did then was to keep power button and volume-up at the same time. Then the phone shuts down (reboots) with a black screen with some colored stripes going down over the screen.
This is the only way to reboot when the phobe freezs.
This just happend to me now while playing game. Though the first time was just a one-time experience, but now, twice.. Im not sure.
What is wrong? Anyone els facing the same problem? :/

I have found that Dolphin tends to freeze when flash or plug in heavy pages are open. This seems to be an application issue rather than a phone issue.
Happened to me yesterday when playing the paper plane game. 1st time in 4 weeks iv had a problem.
Stock phone
Pretty annoying!
And now my phone just slowly went to darker colors on the screen and turned off! Was freezed for just 2-3 sec (alot shorter time as the prob in first post).

mine froze today while selecting a car in Asphalt 6 HD [Game]
Curious :/
Did not happen to me as of yet. Using Dolphin aswell.

sigh....I think its a bug in the software or something. Its not just dolphin hd my phone froze about 5 different times on 5 different apps
It happened to me 2 or 3 times..
Clock failure?
had my phone for 2 weeks, froze whilst on browser a few days ago and again today on the home screen :S i just left it until the battery died so i can recharge it, i didnt know you could reboot it, would rebooting delete any of my files?
Hello ppl!
Yesterday I was flying to Dubai, and desided to "kill" some of my spare time playing the "Mini Motor Racing" game.
Approximatelly after 20 minutes of playing, the screen suddently became unresponsive (no reaction whatsoever), although the game was running normally.
I tried to press the power button to switch off the screen, but it was not working either. Tried to press the cameta button, no result as well. NO command was functioning, not hardware, neither software buttons.
I left the phone to the side for 3-4 minutes (while the game was still running), and noticed that the phone temp had actually falled down a little. Tried the touchscreen, but it was still unresponsive. This time though, the power button worked, so I managed to switch of the game.
I left the device to cool down, and then tried to play the game again, but had the same results (only this time, the phone became responsive about 15+ minutes after I put it aside, and since I have been trying to switch it off without success, I intentionally tried many button combinations, and the only one that worked was vol+, vol-, power pressed simultaneously, which switched off the phone).
I thought that this was some kind of a software/compatibility problem with the game, so I tried to play "Reckless Racing 2". Guess what. THE SAME results...
Anyone else with the same problem, or is it just me?
I heard same with PLAY my friend has with playing her favourite game.. n she has now extra battery attached on back of PLAY which seems solved issue.. may be ICS update will rectify it.. wait for it n hold those games till then
same to me
I have the same problem with my xperia. I bought the phone on 25th of april and since the first day it freezes when i am playing games. First i thought it is overheating but then it started to freeze in the middle of play or when i start the game, everytime was different. Repairing with pc companion didn't solved the problem, factory reset didnt solved the problem, updatung the firmware to .73 didn't solved the problem. I found other people on the sony talkmobile forum with the same problem. After one month i gaved my phone to sony service center for repair. I will share the results wheh they give me back the phone.
I have videorecorded the freezing problem, you can see it on youtube.

Yeah, actually that's what did the trick, but didnt know it 'till then! I was just anxiously pressing buttons!
@globetrance: Does your phone do the same with ALL games? Even 2D ones? The only two actual 3D games that I have freeze the phone, but others, such as Stardunk (the game actually makes the phone boil, especially in online mode), Azkend, Machenarium have no problem!
It is a bit odd...
===EDIT===
I have already fully reset the phone and re-installed .73 from the begining, but the problem is here again!

Our phones freezing has nothing common with the temperature . Mine is freezing sometimes even @ 30 C. I think the problem is somewhere else, may be in the internal memory?!

weird.
my screen came unresponsive when phone get heated a lot during playing some HD game for a while...
anyone else ocured this problem or is just me, also take notice i have yellow tint isuse..i will send it in short time to service center...
@electrash:
Yeah, we seem to have the same problem. But this does not occur while playing 2D games (although the device heats up a lot).
Yep, I also have the yellow tint issue, which is getting worse every day.
It seems that ppl having this issue are "rare" to find, and that we are the lucky ones
I will take my SXS for service tomorrow to see what happens.
@globaltrance:
My friend, did you get your Xperia from service? Any news?
12 days have passed and i am still waiting for my phone. Tomorow i am going to check things out, but i think the phone won't be ready within next 20 days.
I think the freezing come cause dalvik vm is low in the build.prop
There is 2 value 32 and 48 Can someone set the 2 value to 64 and try again.

I am guessing that this procedure requires rooting, correct?
My SXS is not rooted, and I promised myself NOT to touch this baby, but if you believe that it will work, I'll give it a try!
gm007, do you have such issue with freezing games?

Yes the phone freeze sometimes when I exit a game. we need someone with rooted phone and who play games too much cause I play games not everyday.
I don't remember that the phone freeze after I changed the VM value to 64.

My phone is not repaired yet. I have to wait more...
Оk folks, i've got my phone now. I'll make some test to check if it's going to freeze again while gaming. I hope not.
Perfect!!!
Let me know how it went. If it worked OK for you, maybe it's time to take my SXS to service for the yellow tint as well!
(Let me know if you get the yellow tint after service)
Ok, the phone is working perfect now, it's stable in games, but i have another problem. I found 4 dead pixels... There's no yellow tint. Their answer about dead pixels was that the pixels must be at least four per square centimeter for any service support. Now i have to wait for more dead pixels, and i hope the next will appear close to each other. Damn i hate this phone... Buying this phone was my biggest mistake.
My screen is black and it doesnt showing anything but i can unlock it(i hear the unlock sound). I tried flashing a stock firmware and it didnt help.
Does someone know how to fix it?
hardware
So it looks as a hardware problem, mabe with backlight of the display.
What was the last thing that you were doing before that problem (phone fall down, get wet, modify some libs, reload firmware)?
HI

hi mate, Do you always play games while you charging your phone? I think that is the cause of the problem, i had a blank screen problem too, but its not really bad bcoz when i push the on/off button on the top then push it again it will display the screen like a normal.And i notice this problem happened to me since i addicted to play a virtual tennis, i play till the battery drain and connected the charger and keep playing the game, after couple of day, then i got this problem. And one more thing, while i playing any games, i always used the home button to reply sms i got then i push the home button again to get back to the game i played.
