[Q] Heating problem with SG2... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello to everyone on this forum...I have problem with heating on my device,its geting hot(in chgarging area on motherboard) when I insert battery in my device,after booting battery is low on 3% and and temperature battery is 65 celsius but battery is cold its only hot in chgarging area and getting warning on screen that is battery to hot,yellow triangle with temperature scale...I cant charge even is device turned off also temperature warning...I try few diffrent ROM-s and kernels,always the same....thanks...

If you read deeper and further into this forum, you will learn more about the "heating" problem
It is a common problem in s2, perhaps a norm maybe?

Hi I read lot post with heat problem,but I newer found with this problem....that device is getting warm when is turned off with battery inserted....

65 Celsius for the battery is not normal. Not even close. Anything above mid 40's & you'll severely degrade the life of the battery (at best). CPU is a different story & we have no way to measure CPU temp on the SGS2 due to lack of sensor.
OP - A completely clean install (format everything, Odin install) of stock to see if the problem persists, if it does, try another battery. If it still persists, I'd be sending it to Samsung to look at/replace if it were mine.

I flash stock GB 2.3.6 and stock ICS 4.0.3 with odin and few custom JB roms always same...change another original battery and replacement battery...but battery is cold,motherboard getting hot in right low section.....where is connector what connect charging port with motherboard

You can do whatever you like from this point, but if it were my phone & still under warranty, you know what I'd do. There's obviously something going on component wise, I guess you could pull the phone apart & have a go at replacing parts yourself, but if you currently have warranty & stuff it up, you can kiss your warranty goodbye.
It's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

I have no warranty is expires in 08/12....that is sad part...

you can get it checked to some cellphone shops near you if you are unsure of what you will do when dismantling your phone

I would try loading rootbox rom and see if problem persists.If it does then its hardware.
Maybe its only the usb board you need-but when a lot of people change them,other things start going tits up.
You can download the service manual off samsungs site and look at disassembly videos.

Thanks.....I will try this today....

i highly doubt this is a software issue and more to do with the board itself because the warning appears when the battery charging rate is close to <10 % / h, check the board for something obvious. **im a noob i may be very wrong** hope i helped

problem Phone turning off when charging, URGENT

Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem with my X10i, it randomly turns off by it self, below are the times in which ive noticed this:
Phone is charging and i am texting at the same time or talking for like 5 mins and then turns off
phone charging and it gets too hot and it turns off
phone turns off when hot generally,
i play a racing game for 20 mins and it turns off.
When it turns off it tries to reboot, it boot it s then turns off again, i have to take the battery appart, wait for 10 mins plug it back in and turn it on.
This gets annoying as it shouldn't really do this and its not as if i put my phone on top of the radiator in order for it to get hot.
Please help
Ps. it did this on android 1.6 and 2.1 so that didnt fix it.
Regards
Well, this is definitely a hardware problem... you should return it to warranty or try and get it robbed to activate insurance if you have one... lol

Hey,
Thanks for the reply, i have also noticed that when the phone turns off it make a small clicking noise.
Thanks for the suggestions but im in greece and i have no insurance cover and the phone was given as a gift so i don't know what is up with the warranty.
Totally a Hardware problem... Just take it to the nearest SE Repair. It'll cost you though.. :\ They Charge really high if u dnt have wwarranty.
Any ideas on which hardware could be causing this? do you reckon it could be just the battery getting too hot? or something else?
You will still have warranty even if it's gifted (through imei )

Oh nice i hope that is the case, i 'm not sure if its been a year though, how long does the warranty cover?
One year. Warranty is for one year and two years on special contract basis if i'm not wrong.
If your phone keeps restarting, (Heating) another issue could be wrong (or high) OC settings (like setcpu to high values) or something. Which fw are you running atm?
Try reflashing to Stock and see if the same thing happens?
I had the similar issue , I flashed it to Wolfs 2.2 switched off the mobile, Removed battery and let it cool down. After sometime it fixed the issue by itself

Hey,
Thanks for your reply, i do not know what oc speed i have or how to overclock, as for my version i have the stock 2.1 android rom and build 2.1.A.0.435
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLASH, i have seen tutorials but everytime i set my phone to usb debugging mode it over heats and turns off
Have nearly same problems. Looks like you have fuel gauge ic problems, max17040, to be exact. Or Qualcomm PM7540 power distribution ic, which is much worthier. Does your battery level changes sometimes after that glitches, and returns to normal after battery re-installation?

yes that does happened sometimes, the battery is on red and the phone crashes, but then when i take the battery out and plug it back in after 10 mins i get a white bar in the battery so in theory it has more battery than when it crashed.

batttery problems...

So i looked through a bunch of the threads to see if i could find my problem or a related problem, im sure its out there so please lead me in the right direction rather then being a ****.
My phone is rooted and i am running viper rom. when i plug the phone in it will discharge about 20% of the batt. before it takes a charge, I.E. if the phone is at 60% it will drop to 40% before starting to charge. i do not think it is the rom or the kernel, iv flashed a few different roms and kernels so im sure its not that. any info would be greatly appreciated.

i know you're on custom software and that *could* be the issue but since you've switched to a few different versions, it definitely lowers the likelihood its the custom software.
the phone is still new and so are people's experiences, but i haven't seen any posts on this yet (doesn't mean there arent any). if this is a big issue, it should start popping up so keep reading/researching as i will do the same.
the easy solution, would be to swap batteries with a known good battery. either buy a new one or swap with a friend who has an EVO 3D w/o the same issue.
the more complex solution: as with all issues which could be hardware related, the best test environment is going to be on a completely stock ROM and kernel. if you still experience this significant battery discharge before recharge issue and you're on completely stock software, you are able to take it back to the original dealer/sprint and have them troubleshoot/replace. faulty hardware does happen, unfortunately.
i know its not the best news, but hope it helps!

it did it a few times before i was rooted and on a custom rom but it was only when i plugged it into the wall charger. i thought it was the battery at first but i swapped the batt. with my sisters evo 3d and it still continued to discharge the battery. i guess my best bet is to take it in and see if sprint can help me
thanks for the help, i hit the thank you button

Id take it in and swap for a new battery. A repair store is likely to give you one on spot dude! My repair store is really friendly and they swap batteries for free. Does your 3D have the hot battery issues when charging? After going through 4 3D's only 1 of them had the issue where charging would heat up the battery (really hot) and it took long as **** to charge; repair person said it was a hardware issue and they gave me another phone after testing. Others had no issues.

[Q] Ridiculously Hot, Now Nothing?

I'm having some issues with my phone today guys. I went to sleep with my phone on charge (like I have done every single night since I've had the phone), and when I woke up my phone was ridiculously hot. That hot that I couldn't even hold it in my hand. My old HD2 got hot, but nothing like this.
I'm afraid some of the internals have fried or something. I'm on an NDT MIUI ROM. I think it's version 4.X.X or something. But basically now, my phone will not charge a single bit. It'll go to the battery empty screen, then to the Galaxy S II screen, turn on, show my notifications then after every notification has shown, it goes back off. While plugged in.
What's the problem and what can I do to rectify it? A new battery?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Now it's just looping between the no battery (empty battery with circle) and the Galaxy S II screen.
I was getting to the lockscreen a while ago.
That was over the wall charger, I'm now trying to charge it off my laptop if that matters.
Bump. I don't really want to have an expensive plastic paperweight for very long.
Does the battery look fattened?..try changing batteries,if that didn't work then I'm afraid you have to take it to Samsung..

I don't quite understand what you mean by 'fattened'. If you mean bigger, then no it still fits quite comfortably into the phone. I'm going to try get a hold of another battery later and I'll give it a go. If I do end up having to send it to Samsung, what will they do knowing it has a custom ROM on it? My flash counter is only 2, but I wouldn't even be able to get into the bootloader, as I don't have enough battery to do so.
Luck of the draw basically if you can't reflash stock firmware/jig it.
Some people on here have reported Samsung/whomever has repaired it has played hardball & not repaired it under warranty (which they're entitled to do, which means you pay for it), and some people have reported they've had it fixed under warranty regardless.
At the end of the day, running non-stock firmware voids your warranty (regardless of whether some people on here think that's wrong, etc), and if you can't return the phone to stock firmware and you do get it fixed under warranty you can consider yourself lucky.

OK cheers for that. I unlocked it using some app also, will that have any effect?
I'm really hoping I don't have to go down that route and that a new battery will have it back up and running again. I just feel like it's struggling to keep power to it or something, when on the battery screen, the screen slightly flickers if you look closely, and on the boot anim. the capacitive buttons struggle for light while the screen is as good as it always was.
Also, it's just saying "LOW BATTERY !! CAN'T DOWNLOAD !!" when I try get into the bootloader/download mode w/e it's called so I guess there's hope it's only the battery?
Good news! I went to a phone shop, tried a cheap Chinese battery and it seemed to turn on and load everything just fine. Another shop I tried had an original OEM (well atleast an OEM sticker) battery and that wouldn't work. It's weird! Let's hope my battery can last a suitable amount of time on the Chinese battery. Any recommendations on where I could find an official battery? Looked on Amazon, and some of the reviews are claiming that it's actually just a cheap battery with a Samsung sticker.

Problem with charging and heat

The other day i noticed my phone had gone from around 80% battery to almost nothing in minutes. Now when I try and charge it it gets really hot, and shows a thermometer warning icon. This happens both when charging via the outlet and usb.
I haven't had the chance to try a different battery yet, but with the little battery time I get despise the heat, I've started the phone and it seems alright. Doesn't seem to heat up as much.
The phone is rooted, and flashed with a CM9 nightly.
Any help and feedback is appreciated!
how about trying the search butten as this topic has been posted many times before..

I have read numerous of XDA threads on heat issues and others on charging issues. I haven't seen one regarding this particular problem.
how about formating and flashing stock ROM and see what happens.... heating is not small issue if left it could damage the phone in few days. usually heating issues if not hardware are kernel/ modem / software related.

That was my first thought too, but I'm note sure how since I really can't get any battery time... I suppose would have to by an external charger, or a new battery. Maybe both.
Dont have much choice as warranty void .
Probably simple solution is to buy a new battery at least you then have a spare .

So you're saying I should buy a new battery to unroot and install stock firmware? So I can send it in?
new battery, battery from other phone.
but probably your phone will be alright after stock flash, otherwise yes send it

[Q] Multiple problems, unable to find answers.

Hi, I've searched around online and especially on here for two days looking for the answer so forgive me if the answer is here yet I've missed it.
My S2 is charging to 100%. Then when i disconnect the 100% Batt. icon is still showing in the top left of home screen.
After 10mins that will disappear and within an hour or so the battery level will have reduced to around 60-70% and the screen blinks, flashes and the phone turns off.
Once that has happened I'm unable to turn it on, it shows a battery sign with a thermometer image and yellow warning triangle (like the icon I chose to go with this thread) and refuses to start. Unless I plug it in OR it decides to turn itself on, which can take 5mins to 2hours to do itself.
When it does come back on the battery is low and it won't warn me before it turns off again.
It keeps saying it's connected to my pc when it isn't. And I constantly lose internet and signal for 20-30 second periods.
Hence why I said multiple problems, it's nothing I can clearly discern.
It's from o2 and is stuck on Gingerbread Android version 2.3.3
I just don't know if it's a battery problem, ROM problem or Connector problem.
My wife's S2 battery makes no difference to the problems I have, and her phone works fine.
Thank you in advance, I do realise I am a mere n00b and that you're helping me out of your goodwill.
Well, you may got a faulty chip, a battery fuel gauge and a loco-usb-flex.
Still in warranty? send it back with a "WTF" face.
Warranty voided? let the custom kernel flashing begin.

It is still under warranty, you're saying it's most likely a hardware problem so I can get everything fixed by sending it off to o2?
I'm on holiday from friday so shall send it off after I get back. I only wondered cause some say it's a software issue so I'll describe the issues and send it off.
Thank you very much.
np. Remember the WTF face when you go to the store.
Looks like the usb board to me.Just send it to Samsung and hope its not had any water damage....

If the USB board has had water damage what's the cost of repair usually do we know?
Thanks for both comments guys.
The board is only like £10,but Samsung can knock back warranty if they find its had contact with water.
Theres a few threads about people who have changed the board themselves and other problems have cropped up.
Just hope Samsung repair the phone under warranty as you dont know what theyll find.
