[Q] Phone is overheating - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was browsing the Forums and didn't find any answer related to my problem.
When i bought my Samsung Galaxy S2, there was no problem with overheating. After a half year of usage, it started with some overheating problems.
The overheating is located at the camera level. I'm not using any Wi-Fi or Mobile data either, so what could possibly be wrong?
Also, this overheating is draining a lot of battery. So help would be appreciated.

Which kernel you're using?

CM kernel

No, I recently flashed the SuperNexus rom for Samsung Galaxy S2. I don't have anything running.
This overheating thing happened a lot on the HTC Sense 4.0 rom as well.

I solved it!
This is kind of strange, but i flashed the Resurrection Remix Jelly Bean rom. By the looks of it, the overheating is gone,
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

[Q] [q] which rom to use?

Hi I am 15 years old and i have a samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100 with stock ics 4.0.3 (exactly I9100XXLPS). It have some issues with (not opening some times) wifi and several battery drain when im playing games ( need for speed, asphalt, etc). I want to play games and surfing but my phone does not keep its battery until night. So I want a rom and a kernel which have no much battery drain, fix wifi issue and if its possible to extend the wifi signal...
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i'm also 15 yr old, btw i'm from Serbia(if u know where is it...), if u using cf kernel it has a wifi bug so i suggest u to install siyah or dorimanx kernel... And, i think themes like this(whats best rom, which to use, ...) are forbidden, sorry btw try SuperNexus rom, for me that's best rom for begginers, wish u a luck !
I have to say that ROMs are all about personal preference. Imo you should test out various ROMS to see what's best for you...
That being said, I'm currently using Cm7 on my I777 and it has great battery life (although I suspect it has something to do with turning the second core off and using Siyah GB.)
For Jellybean my preferred ROM is Super Nexus... I got pretty good battery on that one too!

I'm using PA 2.54 with Dorimanx 7.17 kernel with moderate UV and battery save settings from STweaks. I deactivate auto-running non-useful apps and location services, use lower brightness, uninstalled some system apps and frozen others, etc. Search forum for more info

Sorry, but i am not a begginer and i know where is serbia... Anyway i am using stock kernel too now. Also i was using latest jelly bean resurection remix with latest siyah a week ago, but latest resurrection remix version had a very big issue with severe battery drain, so i decided to return to stock unbranded 4.0.3 and then try an other rom. Thats why i create this threat, for not trying all s2 roms.....

How many battery cycles did you let the battery settle for? You should give your battery at least 3 cycles before you judge the life of the battery after you flash something. You can also try CPU spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping. Also try better battery stats to see if you have any wakelocks.

I use RR 3.1.2 and I don't think there is a severe battery drain. Use better battery statsto know what caused it, at the first place.

I give the battery 10+ battety cycles in each rom i try before i report... I will try battery stats and set cpu but i think (because i have tried them in rr) they will not give me the exact reason about my problem. I will try again and post here the results.
Anyway, thank you.

In rr 3.0.1 jelly bean (the latest i have tried in rr) i didnt install the fixes which released one day after (was for rom fonts, etc, nothing for battery), because i have updated via update me app, which didnt download the fixes... Yesterday i found these fixes on internet... Do you think that this was a cause of my battery drain problem? But why the problem remained (not like in rr, but ramained) after i installed the official stock 4.0.3?

[Q] S2 Freeze problem

Hi all, I'm not sure whether this is the right place to deliver my problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.
My S2 is freezing frequently and I am having difficulty to trace down what is the actual cause.
My current running ROM is CM10 official nightlies.
I try to track down the obsessive running processes using WatchDog.
And, it turn out to be android.media.processing is running at high CPU (>50%) always.
So, I tried to disable the media scanner using Rescan Media. However, the freezing problem is still occured.
The freezing problem could be happened at any time(internet browse surfing, incoming call, sending a message, plugging charger into phone) and even during idling!
I am really out of idea, so I would like to seek any help from all of you. Thanks in advance.
Happened to me despite whatever kernel i tried on JB. Tried stock cm, stock aokp(the same aa stock cm), changmin's, dorimanx and siyah.
I didnt even undervolt plus i even tried to increase thw stock voltage values given in case JB requires more lower. But i cant get past 2days of usage without any freeze issues.
Im a heavy user of this phone and i charge more than 3x daily or just leave it charge or use while charge.
Will be testing leaked 4.1.2 today to see if it still persists. If it still does, im thinking of a worn out mobo or processor might be the case. If its fine, maybe those AOSP isnt much stable for some processors/mobos.
Was suprised btw seeing not many complaints over the issue across s2 section. Hardwarw issue or aosp stuffs?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Currently still trying to debug for the issue.
The phone works fine so far after I re-flash the CM10 without flashing the Gapps.
Now just trying to run the phone with some daily running apps like (Gmail, Facebook, Whatsapp, Line) to see if the freezing problem occured again.
I was worrying it could be due to faulty hardware since I accidentally drop it twice before.
I had lots of freezes, but on JellyBam it's working smooth...
My S2 freeze again while I am surfing the net. Anyone has any solution to this?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Im testing Leaked JB now. Survived yesterday without freezes. Imma report on today and tomorrow. If it continues to success full day withour freezes, im guess my phone cant handle aospJB stuffs

They run the same base which was CM10's main kernel n base stuffs. Tried all kernels and freezing happens on all of em (AOSP JB roms).

Absolutely no freezes after two days running Sammy JB Leak. Imma give it one more day till i go back to AOSPJB.
Notw that the uptime pic attached dosent show two days since i had to manually reboot the device after having some 'insufficient storage' errors n the reboot solved the issue. That is why it isnt showing an uptime of full two days

Well, I am now to change to AOKP, specifically RevoltJB.
However, I get stucked at the bootscreen.
I do exactly what had been told in the thread in order to flash the ROM, but still ended up in the boot loop.
I tried to flash with the recommended options but nothing change better.
Now I am trying to download another clean zip file to make sure the file is not void. :silly:

Try AoKP official or Rootbox Release /Nightlies. Plain good and reliable. Im avoiding those non-controlled environment, super experimental and not much tested commits done in those other ROMs. Not to say that they arent good, its just that the devs trackrecord and status is a bonus imho.

Try another rom
If you guys got stuck in either CM10 or AOKP (I'm also stuck), try another rom.
I'm currently using ParaniodAndroid 4.1.2 jelly bean, and flashed a Siyah v5.0.1 kernel, which are cool.
I never get freezing problems ever after.

Paranoid are based off CM10 while AOKP and RootBox aokpJB are using GalaxyS2 specific stuffs from CM10 too. Most of our AOSPJB stuffs are similar to one another since hacksung are the pioneer who ported and built the base and improved over time with devs submitting patches to em.
But an issue caused by specific apps or framework is a diff case since those arent drivers/modules related and those are rom specific. Its hard to determine the root of the cause anyway -_-

So after few days using the official Sammy JB version, my phone did not freeze at all
Just the stock ROM is still so laggy as always. :crying:
Definitely going to wait for the CM team to come out with a stable CM10 and flash again.

Major Lag

Hey xda!
I just got this tablet yesterday.
Ever since it first booted, there's been terrible lag. Im planning on rooting and slapping on CM, but I'm just wondering. Is this lag normal? I mean even as I'm typing this message, the keyboard is lagging terribly.
And on a side note, is the cm nighties available in the development thread stable? Including the kernel?

No. It shouldn't be that bad. Root it and run stock deodexed. Works like a charm. Weird... Try a reset on it aswell. Just in case first boot when writing things to memory it may have got interrupted

Not real.
My P7510 is rooted but it hangs after I had booted it.
Maybe is the system problem, or some hack may cause the device to hang.

May i... You have to enable wallpaper quick render in your launcher settings to eleminate the lagg in cm
Settings > launcher > wallpaper quick render > enable.
Oc your tablet to 1400 Mhz in performance settings.
Performance settings are hidden, you can unhide them if you go to 'about tablet' settings and tap 7 times.. I think... On the build number,
But from my experience is that you don't need so much power so i stay on 1000-1200 Mhz unless i watch video's
The lagg should be pretty much over.

1. Yes, that's already been enabled by default.
2. I'm over clocked to 1.2. I guess I'll try OCing to 1.4.
The lag is not in the homscreen per se, it's more throughout the OS. Lockscreen, notifications, apps etc.

The galaxy tab is way older than the google nexus, remember that this was one of the first decent tablets on the market 2 and a half years back, comparing a nexus with a gtab is like comparing a mouse with an elephant i think the 'lagg' what you mean is the 'lagg' what everyone has, ofcourse the gtab is slower than a nexus, but the gtab is terrible on a stock ROM, since CM, the tab has never been so fast, it can't compete to a nexus, but it can with alot of new devices out there with cm or cm based ROMs out there. And it's not like the tab hangs every 5 seconds like in stock

I've experienced the same thing. Mine is rooted on CM 10.1 nightly from a few weeks back. Even when I was religiously updating on the nightlies it is still very laggy. 2-3 seconds for the soft keyboard to come on or go away, 2-3 seconds for apps to even think about loading, choppy transitions. It is extremely noticeable and frustrating.

I use adrenaline boost when my tab gets laggy. It drops the caches so you can get more ram when needed(very useful for gamers like me ). But in these few days of weird lag, nothing helps, even installing tweaks and mods.

Anyone else having freezing problems with leaked 4.2.2

Since I flashed 4.2.2 wanamlite and I'm having freezing problems.The phone doesn't completely freeze but it just lags badly that it looks like a freeze.It can last for a whole minute.I understand that this is a leak and may have problems but I just want to know if anyone else experienced a similar thing on 4.2.2 and if going back to 4.1.2 fixed the problem as I'm worried it might be SDS related.

Use other ROM based tw. Its better than stock. Smooth
Battery friendly.?
In my experience 4.1.2 as mg4 was the most stable and fast stock version. After that including 4.1.2 and 4.3 stocks all were laggy and had less battery performance. However, I couldn't find any aosp based custom rom work flawless or at least stable. Each one has its own bugs. Slimkat doesn't support exfat, liquidsmooth was very very laggy and cm has some fc issues etc. As a consequence at least stock one is the stable one.

okay thanks
I was on 4.1.2 since i bought my s3, i decided to try 4.3 and i switched to Android Revolution HD 51 in combination with Boeffla kernel, and i must say performance is way much better and also the battery life, with 4.1 i got somewhere around 4h of screen on time, and with 4.3 i get close to 5h of screen on time, also to mention over the night battery drops only 1% if wifi on and 0% with airplane mode on, preety impressive, you just have to find your way to customize it for daily use

Sadly I couldn't find a kernel that helped me in my battery life. Brightness is always on 0... And I don't have that many apps.. I seriously don't know what's going on

Do u have alot of wakelocks? Dun set brightness to auto. They tend to make the brightness more than wat u nid. Manually control the brightness.

No my wake locks seem normal though there was a suspicious one, I don't remember it's name exactly, but I'll tell when I find it out, only thing I know that it's audio related but I don't think that's it... Other than that battery just melts leaving me with 1-2 hours screen time (on stock 4.1.2) I'll try flash a different rom and I'll tell you what changed
