Hi all,
My SGSII heat up alot while charging. (for exactly i charge when phone have only 8%). The heat is not normal. It's more heat than while playing game.
And also it got high temp while using wifi and internet browsing between these days. Do you guys face the same problem?
SGSII is really great . But it heat up alot while playing game and turn on wifi.
Mine is a bit warm in the battery area when I begin charging the phone. But I wouldn't call it "extremely hot".
Another case is when I browse the web (that has flash) it feels a bit warm near the camera area (should be the CPU). Have not played games though.
There has been a discussion going on about that. It seems that some apps (eg Robo Defense) are not properly coded for the dual core. In addition some members also hinted, that the kernel is not yet optimized to compensate for that. The whole discussion started after a guy has "fried" his SG2 (beyond repair) while playing a game and charging at the same time. The phone still worked on AC power but no longer and battery and was unable to charge battery.
My recommendation would be,
- not to play games to long to heat up the device to much before new firmware is out.
- ...or use cet CPU to downthrottle to 500-800 MHZ
If the device heats up while charging I would try rebooting it (to get rid of processes which may still are open) or preferably charging while switched off

Which firmware are you using? I was on KF2, and experienced the phone heating up while playing games.
Updated to KF3 (stock, using Kies) rooted and all was well again. Even with excessive gaming, constant wifi on etc the phone just gets mildly warm.
There's no need to underclock etc. The heating issues just went away with KF3. If that firmware is not yet available in your area on Kies, then just put a newer custom ROM (Darky/Lite'ning/Villian etc) and try it out.
I remember whatsapping with some friends and I noticed my pocket felt really really hot. I checked and saw Whatsapp crashed. Also my battery sucked up about 30%. The phone was too hot to touch. I instantly took out the battery too let it cool down.
I never had that since. I expect it's resolved too, because I have KG1 now.
my firmware is KF2. now i decided to upgrade to KG1. is it stable now? any recommend rom?
As long as it stays below 50°C it is perfectly NORMAL.
And besides there is NO heat up issues with this phone.
Regards.
Hello
My s2 heated up alot too
so much so that it melted my simcard whilst it was on charge
also got led burn marks,
sent it to samsung lets see what they do 4 me
I already upgraded to XXKG1 and still heat up alot while playing pottery game.
This is why from the factory apple underclock their cpu's.
Samsung got the crazy idea of overclocking an already power hungry cpu.
A phone that gets too hot to touch under normal use is not fit for purpose

hi,
i have SE x10i and i downloaded some apps in the market and my phone suddenly restarts... and i flash it on SE PC companion and its now ok
the problem is that when ever i charge the phone the battery heats up and then my phone also heats up and shuts down... i get the battery out for some few minutes to cool down and then it gets ok.. but because i want to charge the battery but still same problem..
what should i do??
regards,

Are you heavily using the phone (gaming, watching videos, streaming, surfing the net) while charging?
Install setcpu and use a temperature trigger of 50C (or what you want) to limit the cpu.
Mine is set for 768Mhz.
And if you are using it while its charging try not to cup the back of the phone, you trap the heat.
If it keeps shutdown when you charge, you should bring it to SE service. Maybe this is hardware problems.

i already did that sir..
i also update the rom to GB but still the problem is the same..
when the cp heats up its restart automatically..
@all
where can i DL such apps that can normalize the cpu's temperature..
i cant charge normally because as what i have said
it heats up and shutsdown thee phone..
Aw man that sucks, keep in mind your battery life will get worse if its heated too much.
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
yeah really really sucks.. i cant normally charge with my charger
coz when the temperature rises it will stop charging ang the phone restarts or automatically off...
thats why i need your opinions! please..
i dont think this is a hardware problem because
this is brand new... and i dont use it agressively...

Not all brand new devices are in perfect shape. There's always a factory defective one..
Try consulting your problem at any service center of S.E. or ask for a replacement. As you said its a brand new device it has warranty.

Hi Nucleus55,
Although i'm relatively new to xda, i'm also relatively "old" to h/w related problems, so here's is one piece of advise if you like.
As stated also from other member's previously "-- X10B --", if the phone's temp rises to a degree where it auto-reboots and stops charging, and if this occurs every single time, then you should probably replace it from your nearest SE shop. Especially if it is new and under warranty. As stated from "-- X10B --" there is always the possibility of a h/w error or in construction and/or design flaw in that specific model. You never know.
Personally, i got this "batterylife" widget (from market) which shows battery status and temp, and for me, when i charge my phone, it has never gone above 40 degrees Celsius while idle (charging only) and up to (MAX) 48 while under heavy stress during charging, like games, videos, etc.
I have never seen it gone to 50 degrees.
You could also do as previously stated by "kindred7", that is, install an application and set the max degree to 50 degrees, although i strongly recommend (this is always my personal opinion), when it comes to ALL electronics, to always keep them as cool as possible. If this is not possible, because you tend to stress it all the time either from games or videos, then you could find a better cooling solution, like maybe removing its cover while charging.
I have just tried it myself about a half an hour ago to see if there is any change in temp, and i have noticed that in my work space where the ambient temp is around 25 degrees, the phone while charging and uncovered, was stable at 38 degrees Celsius.
Also, if you a lot of functions ON like Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, then it is obvious that the phone temp will rise to its max. If so, then try to disable any things you don't need, not only while charging but always.
That's all that i can think of right now
this has happened to me after i updated my x10i to 2.3.3 .. the battery life has just got worse and sometimes while heavy use the battery temp rises very much.
Any Solution will be helpful.

From the symptoms you've listed I'm pretty sure you need a new battery due to the heat exposure.
When you are charging your phone make sure you have your screen off. I know this sounds stupid but I found it stopped my phone from overheating while charging
my battery is heating aswell
i upgraded and did not use my phone for 5 hrs ish and it was just on my table and then i smell smoke frome my phone and it was like my battery was a bbq

yes i think this is the problem that i forgot.
i expose it to sunlight while we are drinking some beer with friends outside of our house . and
because i have some sms i grab my phone and damn it was so hot.
so i put my phone inside the house and after that it started to resart whenever the temp rises, or even i use a short period of time...

sir,
even when i shut down my phone and try to charge
when my phone starts to heat up
and suddenly it stops from charging
and the phone is very hot as well as the battery
ill try to replace battery, if still the same
maybe i will forcely go to the store that i bought my phone.
I have the same problem
maybe SE company should read all the negative feedbacks on there Phones...
and make some upgrades of this ****.
It's actually ridiculous. It has got hot when playing games for too long before, but when I woke up this morning, my phone was so hot I could barely even hold it. I thought it was gonna explode. I'd just left it charging all night, that's all. Why does it do this and is there any way to stop it?
Overcharge possible as it should be 0- 100% in four hours .
jje
I always charge it during the night and it never got hot for me... (usually around 8 hours on charge/day this way). The only cause I can think of is that you have some process that prevents the phone from sleeping and so the CPU is running + charge results in overheating.
Mine used to get really hot on a custom ROM. I found clearing cache/data, formatting system, and Dalvik cache, then reinstalling the rom did the trick for me. Like the previous post I can leave it on charge all night and it never gets hot anymore..

Thanks, I think I'll try that. I need to charge it first cos it doesn't seem to be charging properly :/
If it's not charging properly might be a damaged charging circuit, backup and think about sending it for warenty repairs, make sure to flash to stock and remove flash counter with usb jig

This is a known issue with quite a number of phones, my first 2 phones didnt even heat up when playing dungeon defenders WHILE charging, no heat difference between that and angry birds.. my 3rd phone runs significantly hotter even when charing.. have it replaced.
Don't have this problem on my SGS2.
It is impossible to overcharge the batteries because battery has a BMS. Once the voltage hits what is considered close to 100% it stops charging. The BMS also detects temperature, once above 51C it stops charging as well.
Your problem with heat is probably CPU based, use something like OS Monitor and check what is having high CPU load. Are you overclocking or using a kernel with CPU tweaks?
There was one time I got a "battery too hot" message when I had my GS2 charging over night.. It's never happened again, I have no idea why it happend but it was over 50degrees...
Just so you know, I flashed the new update for MIUI and ever since then things have been fine, so far. Charging fine, no excessive overheating but I'll see how it goes.
When summer was here I was speaking with my friend in NYC and said it's 40°C here, then he said, oh! it's hot. But if I said, it's hot here, then he would have asked for the temperature.
Did you get my point?
Regards.

I've been noticing a good amount of heat up by the camera during moderate use. I thought this was a CM7 problem since I had been on it since day 1, but I am now on UnNamed and the problem persists. After some googling it does seem that many other people are having this problem. Not on WIFI, and not in a poor signal area either. Just wanted to see if anyone had any leads as to the cause. What is a good app for monitoring CPU usage by app?
Yes, it may get a little hot but it isn't something to worry about as far as I know. I've gamed for three hours straight and not had any problems except for a low battery life!
yeah mine gets hot near the camera during use but i dont think its a problem
I use a battery monitor.
From what I've read, it will shut off for protection. I've heard that as long as it doesn't ever get too much above 130 F, you should be OK.
Now if it constantly stays high, there may be a problem. Mine stays around 80 F most of the time and the highest I've ever seen is 99 F but i don't game much or use my camera. One thing you don't wanna do is charge it while hd gaming or charge it in a hot car. My infuse reached 146 F one time doing that.

Somehow 'Words with Friends' caused my phone to really warm up a lot. More so than I've seen with any other situation and on numerous occasions. Luckily I suck at that game and uninstalled it...

When I first got CM7 running on this thing, I tore through the market installing the apps I'm used to. When I was finished, I noticed that it was indeed a bit warm in the area you described. It wasn't hot enough to cause discomfort, just warm enough to note.
I notice when my phone gets hot in that area when it is around 30% remaining and I charge it. I also notice that when it is charging, it really isn't charging but battery is draining. When I got home and charged it at 30%, I left it sitting there for about 30 minutes and when I checked the phone again, it was at 25%. GPS and wifi was turned off. I decided to power down the phone and remove the battery for 5 minutes. I started working fine after that. I noticed it getting hot again today when I plugged it in to charge at 40% but this time it actually was charging. I am running stock rom but rooted. Should this be a concern?
Seems as though a lot of people are having a variation of this problem. Hopefully it is addressed soon.
The CPU will always get a bit warm if it's running.
If it's getting very hot when the screen is off, you've probably got some background task wakelocking the phone.
My phone's screen gets pretty hot when I run web videos/flash videos on HSPA.
Runs a tiny bit warm when i'm running pristine 3D Tegra games on it...otherwise no.

Hello,
I got a battery issue on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime for at least more than a year.
The problem is: almost everytime, my phone crash when arround 40% battery level. It's not an informatic crash but... I'm not sure. The phone just suddenly shut down, not as it ran out of battery, displaying the shutdown logo and going to sleep, it behave like I pulled off the battery.
This is not a battery misplacement problem because the shutdown doesn't happen a totally random way: it never triggered over 50% for now.
Moreover, the battery level goes wrong after such crash. Even after waiting some time with battery out of phone I got randomly a new battery percentage that will be either lower, same or even higher than when it crashed. So maybe the whole problem is due to a shift between real battery percentage and what phone determined.
I also noticed that when rebooting after the crash the phone speakers make a weird sound, a kind of "shhhhhhhh" even with silent mode enabled and no system sound, and when it happens phone recrash on booting (system) logo.
I personally don't think it's system's fault, because between the first time it happened and now I may have flashed at least 6 times my ROM and made various wipes. Also somebody getting the same phone model than me never got such problem, even tough he is not rooted and has recent firmware. In the end the problem getting worse and worse again (=more frequent) so I'm almost sure it's a material problem.
But which one? Is this directly battery's fault or is it captor's fault? Actually I threatened the battery very badly, it's true. But everything I did — overcharging, emptying battery at the time I thought that was a good thing because of a suppoesed memory effect like nickel batteries, using charger block from an older device with a bit different configuration — should have shortened the battery's life, however it's just like the battery is now discharging a bit faster but got a kind of danger zone where you're not sure that it will keep behaving normally, so much that some measurements and developing apps determined that my battery have a good health, that is maybe absolutely FALSE.
Talking about this danger zone, I also noticed something even stranger over all.
Depending of what I do, I got higher or lower chance to have my phone crashing under 40% level:
- If Wifi is enabled, the phone got arround a half more chance to shut down unexpectedly.
- This is worse when using data consuming app (i.e. Youtube)
- Using more hardware also increase this phenomenon (when using camera) and enabling flash instantaneously and almost everytime crash the phone.
Here are what I reported.
What do you think?
It has happened to me many times. So i normally keep it charging all the time to be safe.

All the time for real? Be careful, that's not a good practice. Unless you removed the battery first, this will get worse if you do that.
I have a similar but possibly unrelated problem.
If i charge upto 100%, the battery goes directly to 0 after around 50%.
If i charge upto 50%, then the battery drains rapidly after around 20%.
I don't think its a battery problem because its the same with two replacement batteries and a stock battery. (Or maybe I have a bad luck and bought ****ty batteries)
Will post a screenshot soon...
I have the Same problem i changed the battery twice but i still have the issue

My device goes at 60%, 40%, etc. and then it starts repedeatly pressing the right side of my screen and not letting me tap the screen, so I lock it and unlock it very fast and I can use the touchscreen for a few moments, before it shuts down without the shutdown screen and makes a *tick* sound, almost like there was an electrical shock inside the battery. I have a PRF and TWRP 2.8.7.0.

Got exactly the same problem. You can try to change the battery but in my opinion the only good solution would be to buy another phone. This is personally what I did, as this model gets old really early.

I have this same exact problem and the only fixes according to me is to buy a new phone or replace the battery. Also I noticed that the battery of my device has bulged.
RIP, I have the SM-G360T1, stock based custom ROM with TWRP 3.0.1 and this thing's started to give up. Same issues as the people above encountered. The phantom touches are getting wayyy more repetitive, the battery all of a sudden goes down to an extremely low percentage, even at medium to high percentages (such as 50-60%) and even shuts off without any notification. I also had cases where the phone would completely turn off with no shutdown animation AT ALL, plus a spontaneous but audible *TICK* that follows it. Device performance in general also started to horribly depreciate.
Well, to be fair, I had this device for 3 years and I guess it had its day. Time to upgrade.
My device has started to shut off at 80% battery levels and even worse the device gives just about 25-30 min of SOT. Also stressing the device in any way.. games, YouTube et al just causes it to shut down. I now permanently have a battery pack connected to it at all times. But even after all this, the gives good standby time. Notably the device stand for 3+hrs on 3% battery.
Still my phone is in a pathetic condition. ?
Edit - I just got a new battery (aftermarket brand though) and the ghost touches along with sudden shutdown has gone. Also the OG battery was never touching the connectors properly or the battery placement design was not proper, cause the new aftermarket battery was not connected to the connectors properly.
Peace ?
i also got this problem on my sm-g360HU , try chaging different roms and buying a new battery pack, but still this sudden drain battery still exist, it seems like it's the hardware problem already.
