This problem just started today. My phone is currently charging and the left bottom part of him is very hot.I removed the battery for a couple a minutes,but it still overheats. I am using OlloSII without any OC/OV. What can i do?
EDIT: 33 degrees when it's not in charging,38 when charging.
Is this normal?

I am pretty sure he actually means room not rom, as in it wasn't a typo And the answer to that would be the radiation from the sun or a heater Like for me, I live in the UK and it is the middle of summer and it is 13 degrees C out side, so my phone doesn't get that hot, but if it was 30 degrees out side (not in the UK obviously) the phone would be a lot hotter before you start using it.

Is it a stock charge or aftermarket? If the latter, check the Output current. If your stock is 1A and you're plugged into a 1.5A charger, this could heat it up.

I installed wathdog..how can i find if there is any rogue app? I don't even know what that means..
When i installed the litening v3.2 on my phone i put it charge on the night and when i checked it in morning it was hot as the hell and showed like 50% of a battery. I dont know what is was but it was just in one night.
OK - I'm a Brit living in Saudi. Here, it is usually above 40C most of the year, with excess of 50C during some months. Everybody loves their mobile gadgets AND all the gadgets work - surprise surprise.
Recently, my wife left her SII on a wet table - nothing too drastic; i.e. water barely leaked into the battery compartment. Shock horror - now, it is unusable for more than 10 seconds at a time, due to the heat generated by the battery - not due to the USB charger.
I think all the SII units short themselves out quickly with dense water vapour, or a bit of rain. They continue to work, but overheat (due to the short circuit).
At least, this is my experience of the SII - otherwise, an excellent phone.

My phone seems to be getting warm in the lower left corner of the display when I'm using it and the charger is plugged in. If I don't use it and it's on the charger I do not get this warm spot. It has persisted though multiple ROMs/Kernels. The spot is just above the menu capacitive button and I can feel it on the front and side. Prob only about the size of a dime if it were wrapped around the side of the phone. When it's not plugged in I don't notice the warm spot. Is there a component for charging under that spot? Thought about warranty return but don't really want to get a refurb.
No one uses their phone when it's charging? Will usually take about 10 or so min of playing on the phone to get the spot to warm up.
my phone doesnt get hot there. During use, it'll get hot around the camera, where the battery connections are. Thats about it.

Hmm... Mine doesn't get warm there. I looked at the teardown of the international SGS2 on ifixit and it doesn't even look like there is much down there at all to get hot.
Mine gets very hot if used while charging. As hot as 128F on one occasion. It doesn't seem to matter how many apps are running. Its 105 right now with minimal use. I do keep the screen at its brightest though so I'm guessing that's the issue.

That's dangerously hot. You need to figure out what's causing that. Enough times above 125° and your battery can die or have noticeably shortened life.

Mine get the same way. Extremely hot to the point I can't hold it. Sometimes i play Zynga poker while charging and aftering 20/30 minutes my phone is burning hot and only recieved 1% battery. And sometimes i will wake up and the phone will be hot after not touching it for 6-7 hours and battery hardly charged.
I've noticed that this phone tends to heat up fairly easily..A lot of apps cause it..Not sure what to do about it though..
Mine only heats up noticeably if I play a game or something of that sort, but not really otherwise.

My phone really only sunstantially heats up when I am using any browser. Also fyi, there was another thread on this subject.
Yeah, I turned it off that time. But even if plugged in with the screen off I saw it today near 114. If I use while plugged in it jumps from the 90's to the low 100's. I'm just trying to figure out if everyone sees it that hot. I'm using battery indicator in my notifications bar to monitor.

Hey guys!
I have a problem.. whenever I use mobile data for half an hour or more, my battery temperature rises significantly. From 32 degrees centigrade to 50 degrees centigrade. The back side bottom part of my phone heats up! Is this normal? I have attached screen shots please help me out!
P.s. is my battery backup fine?
Scree on time is 3.5 hours
Mine warms up to that temp and even a little more whilst gaming or heavy use as well.
You can get a mesh vent case that should dissipate the heat better, but that high a temperature is still definitely unusual.
Does your phone heat up to 50 degrees centigrade after just half an hour of continuous use?

I found that disabling HSPDA and HSPDA+ while surfing prevents the phone from overheating a little.
Could it be you got a pretty weak signal? Maybe try to change modem, mine gets a bit warm at heavy gaming (about 40°), but not at basic things like the xda app.

It definitely will get hot, I remember watching my son at swimming lessons last week.
I am in Bangkok and was outside using the phone extensively on 3G data, ambient temp 35+ Celsius. Can't remember exactly how hot the battery got, but sure out read well into the 40s.
Didn't have any hardware or software issues though.
As far as exchange goes, you could try, but they may reject the claim as you most likely were operating the device outside it's design limits.
From the Pg 172 of the GT-I9300 User Manual: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201206/20120613110217963/GT-I9300_UM_EU_Icecream_Eng_Rev.1.0_120607_Screen.pdf
Do not store your device in very hot or very cold areas. Use your
device at temperatures from -20 °C to 50 °C
• Your device can explode if left inside a closed vehicle, as the internal
temperature can reach up to 80 °C.
• Do not expose your device to direct sunlight for extended periods of time
(on the dashboard of a car, for example).
• Store the battery at temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C.

All hardware is not exactly the same, so your device may be less torelant to excessive heat than others or vice versa.

Based on what you said, all seems back to normal.
To summarise;
It WILL heat up, depending on environmental conditions and also your using habits. CPU and GPU intensive apps and time spent on this state, and also general use whilst charging etc will heat it up.

+1 to the "It's fine"
Pull out the battery, there it'll list a safe operating temperature. The battery in my phone is "Safe" up to 60c, but it probably shuts itself off at around 55ish. 45 is nothing to a phone, so don't worry.
You're probably just being paranoid, paying super close attention to any kind of "Warm" after the overheating incident. It was probably reaching those same temps prior to leaving it in the car.
Hell, I left my Evo 3D (Super famous for overheating) on my black leather seats, in the summer, plugged in, and GPS running, for an hour or so. It shut itself off and wouldn't turn on for 45ish mins while I let it cool down... And it's running just fine now. Lol
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...

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.

Then buy an ICrap or old BlackBerry and get a swirl... live free with equally fast discharge...
Fast charge is disabled by default (on obvious reasons, google it), but hey... anyone is free to make it work if he can find a proper solution.
Said that, 3 hrs should be more like 2 hours or 2 hours and a a half... but seen OP never stated specs, it's all right.

ill never buy an iphone,s2 does charge really slowly and s3 too,but s4 no,so its a matter of samsungs technology which is slow,plus i agree that battery is good for 1650,i guess ill have to get used to it.Im going to send it to samsung to see if they can change something,like the usb port to handle more voltage,do u guys think its possible?

Use s4 charger. It has 1amp output current. .
But not recommended though.

Oh, you're very polite :/
In fact, the most other phones charge with ~1A+ and they don't have any big draing issues in common. It doesn't matter which OS they run.

Yes I am , thank you, cause the slow charge issue was elaborated and mentioned so many time around XDA but seems no one cares to search and read.
This phone with and with original charger, and AFTER teh update from Gingerbread to ICS/JB is charging as per specs. On Gingerbread there was a flaw that permitted to charge it upto 900-1000 mA but the phone was rather hot, I recall charging mine in an hour and a half or 15-20 minutes more, from 2-3% to 100% back when phone had GingerBread.

Nope, they won't do anything, but you can try all along if it's free service.

You can use 2.1A output chargers too, it is simply not going to draw all that but you might get the better on the go recharging while you're using the phone with heavy apps. Just think of the dual car chargers - they have both 1A (phone) and 2.1A (tablet) output. SatNav on 1A is zeroing or still draining your phone battery, while 2A can slowly charge it on the go.
You just give it a needed juice and if the discharge is so greater then recharge, there's not much you can do about it.
Call it a flaw, but Samsung did it cause of longevity of their batteries and li-ion technology.
That is why I indicated iCrap and BB - their fast charge is provoking rather fast discharge too cause the battery will not hold it. I have colleagues with BB who're charging in an hour but get their phones depleted in 3 hours of usage... I wouldn't want that from my S2 for sure. :good:

With stweaks you can let usb charge from 450 to 650mAh.

It doesn't matter what the output current of the charger is... the phone will only draw 650mA.
The charger I got with my S2 delivers 1A but my phone only draws 650mA. Actually the hardware doesn't support it.
IMO, 3hrs is pretty fast for a full charge.
Edit: Just noticed that Fevves already mentioned all that...
adressing sfafrorn
Some kernels have the Option to change the charge rate but even at 650mA the phone will get very hot if you are doing something on it while charging
Sandm4n is right :good:
