Try use custom kernel 1st, read before you flashing any custom kernel or you updated your phone or not?

Yup my phone updated, if I install custom Kernel, when I unroot it and stock ROM can I still get back to my official Kernel version? And can I still get my warranty?

+1, sometimes it gets quite hot, sometimes not. Either has something to do with rooting or stock kernel is bad. Reboot fixes it temporarily here...

Of course it gets warm when you're doing things with the phone, it's what processors (and pretty much everything else in the world) does when doing work.
It's not a bug, nor a problem, just a thing that happens to everything.

High temperature means the CPU is working.
If you're surfing the WEB, it's quite normal with todays heavy usage of Javascript and animations on webpages. Custom kernels can reduce it somewhat by not going to full CPU speed (1.4GHz) directly, but this will naturally reduce the phone's "instant" performance.

I wouldn't say it gets heating up or hot. Just feel warmer. That's all. Nothing to worry about.

Clockwork Power Off

I noticed that every time I select the power off option from CWM my phone turns back on in like 10 seconds. Anyone else got this?

Which CWM ?
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
I get that everytime, never minded. Happens to me with both cwm4 and cwm5 on stock KP3, ddqk8 and stock based roms. Never tried doing it on cm based roms.
yeah, happen to me too.
I'm using this version of CWM.

Umm... no. Its not. For it to happen to a lot of people on different roms and kernels? You really think its a kernel issue?
It's probably an issue with cwm and it's also probably related to the type of kernel. To say the truth, I don't think it's that big a deal. It has posed no real problems to me when flashing, and if anything, removing the battery will do the trick. A minor inconvenience in an otherwise perfect tool.
yes, i encountered this issue too. I wonder how to turn off phone from recovery without take out battery
But NOT big deal for me

Its not a big deal, but its annoying. You'll have to wait till your phone boots to be able to turn it off. Taking off the case, then taking off the battery cover and taking out the battery is a lot of work to just turn your phone off.

You are completely right. However, it's a free tool.
I mean, even the stock Samsung firmware gives Fc and issues every now and then and they do get paid by us users (both on acquisition and through Google adds, and free marketing data)

While you are new here, please follow forum rules as they are in place to ensure regularity for all users alike.
what ROM and Kernel are you using? checked OC settings? any additional apps running in the background without your knowledge? any recent apps you have installed?

Thanks for replying quick.
I'm using Stock ICS 4.0.4
I'm not sure what you mean by Kernel as I'm new to androids, was an iOS user ..
How to check if apps are running without my knowledge?
Yes there are many apps I recenly got!
Get better battery stats from the play store, and let it run for a charge cycle.
Also turn off all the silly Samsung stuff like face awake etc etc
Does a reboot help?

a sign that some hungry app is churning away in the background, that's why I suggested bbs to help find the cause.
This kind of thing is nearly always a rogue process, just a matter of getting to know your new os and learning its ins and outs

you need to leave the phone and let it log for a couple of hours , then see what is working away in the background

It's probably best to root and change the kernel, as my phone used to get too hot as well

I slept for 4 hours ..
Battery was 88%
Woke up too be shocked! Battery is 26%
What the hell!
This is a serious problem...
BBS says that gpsd is using a lot as a process, so I disabled that before I sleep.
OK so now I wiped data and cache and installed CM9 stable release.
I want to know what you mean by kernel and how to install custom kernel
Thanks again.

Hi.
I had the same problem with one SGS3 from two I bought.
The one worked fine, but the second restart twice and more a day. I changed it in the shop. But the problem was still there. The akku was hot and after 2 hours without any input the akku was 0%.
I changed the phone the second time in the shop.
But also this device had the problems, sometimes the phone doesn't see the akku.
Then I had the idea, I looked into the device pressed the akku with my thumbnail and the akku worked.
With a little paper I fix the akku and everything is fine until today.

Put a piece of paper somewhere in the battery slot to prevent phone from random rebooting?
Is this a good solution? I'd suggest to claim your warranty.

Rooting does not change you system it just provides you access to the root directory..
It does not change your kernel..
So there is no question of such a thing happening..
It is Ike asking if having the ability to pop open your car bonnet can cause your car to be slow or high heat.
It depends on what you did after you pop it open.

lol yea realized it was a lag of "after boot" which is normal
thanks for all your help here! made me some smile!

Laggy after a while....

After use for a while....the screen gets real unresponsive. To the point where if I try to scroll down on FB...it will actually register a click instead of a swipe and open up the picture I happen to swipe over.....anyone else???

This only happens to me when I'm trying to use my phone while it is plugged in and charging. It acts all crazy, but once I unplug it the thing works fine. I pretty much keep my phone in ECO mode and haven't switched that off to see if it makes a difference.
Same here. I keep my phone on ECO mode and have no issues with responsiveness, except for once in a while when it's plugged in and charging.

That's horse ****! Someone has to come up with a fix for this! Doesn't eco mode cap the processors at 1.1 or something?

Seems cycling the screen off and back on will get rid of the lag....until it happens again....lol

I DO have that problem with mine. I am unlocked, rooted and running nottach's Base ROM the problem has reoccurred with the stock ROM and versions 0.5, 0.6.5 and 0.7.3 .
It's probably a kernel-level memory or CPU issue because for most people it appears to be a specifically time-based problem. The longer your uptime is, the worse the problem gets. Reboot your phone and the problem goes away for awhile.

I've edited your post. This is a great example of the same phone, running a similar set up behaving completely different. The user you quoted wasn't doing anything other than stating that they don't have this problem so chill out a little and accept that each person can have a different experience and opinion. If you've got nothing useful to say, say nothing.

[Q]S2 Heating Problem?

Hey guys!So let me be short and precise:When I am on wifi/3g my phone heats up and gets to 41º C, but when I play something like Nova 3 or MC4 it gets around 50 ºC.These temperatures are shown in CPU-Z.Once I "managed" to get 56ºC while playing and while it was charging.
The question is, how can I fix this problem?I heard that the modem incompatibility may be the problem,but I am thinking that anything else can cause this heating problem.Oh, and I forgot to say, the battery is getting empty pretty fast.I am on custom rom with the last version of siyah kernel.
