Hello,
first I would like to apologize, if this has been already discussed or asked or if posting in a wrong section.
Just I'm very worried and I don't have much time to browse and search for a solution now, so I decided to ask.
I bought my SGS2 in June. So far everything has been more than fine.
Usually I'm charging the phone during the night. 2 days ago, when plugging it off the charger, I noticed that the
phone was really hot.
A little bit earlier I had installed the GoPower app. It had showed a warning, that the battery is over 50'C.
Now I'm thinking if that might be caused by this app... ? Or just earlier there was nothing that would show me
the warning. But on the other side I think that I must have felt the phone getting hot...
Please help me!!
it maybe because of app, when i install swype and plug in charger it goes to 48C
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I have swype installed in my ROM. Never used it though Now I have uninstalled GoPower and we'll see how it will behave on the next charging...
Any other ideas please ?
It's not the Swype keyboard. I use it all the time without any over heating even when charging. You must have apps running in the back ground.
Anything 3D intensive can cause overheating.

I think it also depends on the room temperature.
48 degree Happens on my S2 either..nerver bothered about it...whats d reason behind it?
Darkman,you should try GB for eg-and see if its any better.My wife was running 4.0.4 stock and hers would heat up like yours.Sent it to Samsung and they just reloaded 4.0.4-which meant nothing fixed.
We then sent it back to our retailer,and they sent it to Samsung,who sent it back to us-still overheating.
Our retailer then credited our account for what she paid(£450) and told her to destroy the phone.
I have loaded rootbox/dreamkernel onto it and its running perfectly okay temperature wise.
So if I was you Id try a couple of things and if its still too hot then Id brick it so you get a new mobo for free.
Dear theunderling,
what is GB for eg please ?
You are pretty lucky as per your story. Just there is no way for this to happen in my country.
A friend of mine bought a Galaxy SIII, which wasn't ringing, after let some time unattended.
He sent it 3 times back for service and he requested his money back and after staying more
than 2 months (!!) without phone, they finally repaired it. What a scam !!!
Yes I was lucky.My wife bought it from a "catalogue" company(you pay like £10 a week).It was a woman from there that credited the account and told my wife to destroy the phone.
I wasnt going to bother paying for it if I didnt get satisfaction.
The phone didnt seem to be working properly(like yours) on 4.0.4,but not a problem since I put on rootbox.....so theoretically its a farce.
And every time she sent it back and forth she had to wipe then reinstall everything.
Samsung only seem to give a good service to total muppets that brick their phones.
They seem to penalise normal people who have genuine warranty claims through no fault of their own.
And I once had a motorola phone that was faulty.Van driver came to my door,took it away,then took it back repaired within 2 days.
And I only think its funny about my wifes phone because when I said in one of my threads(the motherboard one) that I was paying £450 for a s2,a guy was meaning I was a mug.
And Ive ended up getting a perfect s2 for free......lol
Good luck and GB means gingerbread.

Hi everyone Im sorry if im not in the right place to discuss this problem. About 6 months ago I bought a new Samsung galaxy s2 And now im facing some problems With Processor And the other problem is in those 2 pic that i put In that area When I plug my phone in charging And i need to make a call or to check something while the phone is on charging That area gets hot And When i want to play a game Before i start it yet The processor gets hot a lot

hey endritkanani,
I have the same issue, As in my Galaxy S2 will get hot at the same portions you have marked in the photograph. A battery monitoring app also shows the temp to be around 48 celsius for the battery. I assume its hardware related as the temperature increases even if I charge when the phone is switched off.
Have you been able to find any solution for your issues?
PS: the problem started for me after I sent the phone for repairs related to the proximity sensor. However the service place said that it had nothing to do with them though I doubt that.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

If anyone reads this my d710 got hot as well while it was on stock ROM. Apparently if it;s the battery itself getting hot from normal use or when charging, it might a sign of a battery going bad, and purchasing a replacement would be a good idea.

I'm having an issue with my phone battery level detection.
It won't charge past 97%. I noticed it lately within the last few days, i would charge my phone, but when i would grab my phone for the day and take it off the charger, it instantly dropped down to as low as 95%. But, when i plug in the AC cable, it says 100% charged.
Anyone have any info about this? Also, i powered the phone down and charged it fully with the AC adapter, and the highest level i got was 97%.
Also, i have seen the phone has a lag issue, gps issue, no word about froyo, and no notification led. Most of those were fine for me, but since i've had the phone, most of the battery has been used for cell stand by even though i've been in areas with excellent reception. And now with this battery level discretion, i'm a little worried about my decision. I only have tomorrow to return the phone and now that idea is gaining more and more weight for me.

1.) I would say exchange your battery (I have never heard on that issue)
2.) There is something called a lag fix.. So search next time..
3.) There is also a GPS fix.. So once, again.. search
Defiantly keep the phone.. Download a ROM called Bionix 1.3 With Lagfix& OC/UV (1.4 will be released tomorrow)
Download a program called SetCPU and OV it to 1.2 (It will make the phone much faster)
Tada, you have what you should of had
download and install rom manager.. install clockworkmod, boot into recovery, wipe battery log..
I know there's a lag fix but why should we need that in the first place? I personally haven't needed a lag fix, but I haven't heard anything from Samsung about fixing it.
Also for the gps, flashing patches is still pretty hit or moss for a lot of people and even then, I've seen a lot of people that have their compassion still messed up. My question is not along the lines of "why isn't Samsung doing more to fix this issue across theory US galaxy s line?"
I mean, I've seen probably 3 official updates to "fix" the gps/compass issue, and the only one I haven't heard about the results is the fascinate. And I haven't heard ANYTHING from T-Mobile about fixing ANY is the issues that the vibrant has, on than "they're working on it".
It's word, if it wast for me reading the new engadget post today polling about people's epic and listing the problems it's facing (which most seem to echo across the galaxy s line) coupled with this battery issue, I wouldn't have second guessed my phone decision. But when o saw this, and my battery, it gave me a bad taste similar to what I faced in the slide community.
I love this phone, don't get me wrong. I'm just worried about Samsung and T-Mobile management calls.

I already have that installed. Would it get rid of my phone rating battery in cell standby or fix the part where I only can charge to 98%?
I'm going to try charging from a computer use to see if it's a charger problem or phone problem.
Edit: I am running JAC's kernel for the past 2 days, I wonder if that has anything to do with the charging discrepancy? Also, I'm not running it overclocked.

If you have such a problem with it then just take it back & quit whining.
All we are trying to do here is make the phone better, Your right you SHOULDNT need a lag fix in the first place.. but apparently YOU do
Like I said about the not charging all the way thing, just take it to your tmobile store & get a new battery.. Not to mention that they actually did say that froyo would be released after G2 witch is going to be sometime next month I beleive
I haven't seen the need for a lag fix myself and sorry is this entire thread sound like a rant/whine-fest. I do love what's been done for the phone in the face of it's adversity. And for the most part, I am pretty optimistic about Samsung/T-Mobile fixing the issues this has. I more just writing it all down at once to get it out if my system.

i see that. i also see that tmobile twittered about an OTA soon and not to flash the JI5. that's really more than i've seen from them about the phone lately, albeit still extremely ambiguous.
Also, i just unplugged my phone from USB computer charging. It charged to 100% but when i unplugged my phone it went back down to 97%. So it's not charger related. I'll be going into tmobile tomorrow and seeing if i can say whether it's the battery or the phone by testing out a different vibrant and charging my battery in there.
Also, i am getting kinda pissed that my phone "appears" to get extremely poor reception. It goes from strong signal to nothing, but still saying tmobile in the same place.

I'm talking about JI6 not JI5...
My vibrant has done the same thing once. I thought it was weird. Hasn't done it since though. I really don't care about one or two ticks on the battery guage. I use battery indicator pro though because the built in battery meter sucks.
i use a flashed version of the battery status reader as well as battery indicator. And it doesn't go up to 100% unless i'm using the charger. but once it's off the charger, it drops to 97%.

I went to my local tmobile store, they swapped batteries. They also told me they couldn't do anything since i was out of the 14 day exchange period. The thing is though, i bought the phone outright, and when you do that you have a 30 day return period.
But they also didn't have any vibrants in stock so i had to go to the nearest corporate store. I got there, and they were puzzled as to why i was having an issue, saying that "it lasts for the stated amount of time, so i'll most likely have to charge you a $10 restocking fee" crap. They ended up doing a 1 time courtesy exchange. I'll see how this vibrant goes. I also checked to make sure it wasn't hardware locked (it go into recovery with the volume keys).
I don't think it's a battery issue, as I've seen it quite often. Mine does this sometimes as well but it doesn't really bother me. Someone posted that there was a fix you could do using ADB from the computer, but it was a month or so ago and I'm too lazy to look for it.

well after swapping my battery for a new one and experiencing the same issue, i know it's not battery related. it's phone related. I want my phone to charge fully, not almost fully.
So a friend of mine could possibly be selling me his x10 for a ridiculously low price, which I found out from another friend to be because of (possible) overheating issues because he tried overclocking the phone; and after trying to bring it back down to the original speed it still is overheating.
Before I get into something that would completely waste my money, is there a way for me to be able to fix it so it works normally or would this be something that I should completely avoid all together. Basically, I'd like for some tutorials provided that can help me rectify this problem.
Thanks for any help provided.
its not possible to over clock the phone right now... so idk what your friend did. Also what kind of overheating issue is it? Getting really hot? or shutting down a lot?
Well thats was how I understood it as. And from the sounds of things it seems like it is just getting overly hot.

It's possible it's just his battery that's shorted. Maybe another battery? That or the GPS chip runs constantly... I know mine heats up when the GPS runs at full. I also say try and flash the firmware back to a regular ROM (Without mods).
Those are my ideas. Otherwise toss it in the freezer! haha
Sounds like new need some Arctic Silver, Heat Sink and a 200CFM SUNON!
Its a hardware fault. It will eventualy start rebooting, and after that it wil start shutting itself down or locking... i think its something with the pmu but not sure. If it has warranty send it to repair...

My Xperia started overheating and now its having very frequent restart cycles from several days. Is it a hardware fault in the Xperia X10?
At least on my first x10, it started like that, then only went worse. the first sign was when doing generous amount of traffic (heavy browsing, downloading some apps at the same time...) it started rebooting. After that it started doing it whenever it got network, during calls... even when reflashing.
So I would flash back to stock, then take it a day for a ride with.a backup phone. If it reboots even once, send it to repair...
I'm also experiencing the frequent reboot problem. It seems the best solution I've found was to send it back to SE for repair/replacement. That solution is unacceptable for me, as I spent $600+ for an imported x10a when it first was released, and as such, SE has deemed my phone "gray market" and I would need to pay for repairs.
I love my x10, but $800 for a phone that's still severely outdated and lacking some high-end functions is just not worth it.
I am convinced that the problem stems from a faulty temperature sensor in the motherboard. My phone is definitely not hot to touch, and it seems that just placing it in front of a fan alleviates the rebooting problem.
Do any devs know of a way to disable the temperature sensor either through an app or via adb?
Its doesnt look like bad sensor, but a bad ic on the board or a bad solder point.
For me it ended up getting stucked even on the bootloader, where everything is 'out of order'. The only way i got to reflash it was using my car's air conditioner at 16 degrees... didnt have warranty either, so the board now resides half dead on my desk...
Ouch. Sad to hear. Did you order a new mb or a brand new phone? If just the mb, mind sharing where you got it from and the price?
I bought a second x10 and left the other one for testing and parts... though this x10 is starting to get a little warm too, lets hope this doesnt die too...
The display ous on max, turn it down...that's why it's hot as hell

My girlfriend's ACE has randomly developed issues in the last 12-14months, shes had it since release date (we walked in to THREE and said do you have the Galaxy ACE, the woman said yes but its not on display so its on sale, The manager disagreed with her and was like "WE'll sell it!". I got £200 out and said I want one, the woman didnt know were to look)
anyhow after 3months she started getting issues where the signal would drop no a non-existent level and return only after 3-4 reboots. I flashed/updated via kies and all was well for 2 months ish and the issue returned so I rooted once again (I rooted as-soon as the update.zip was available) then the issue subsided but has returned randomly but now the phone is begining to what I can only describe as "short-out" no drops, bangs or water damage but the battery and whole phone have begun to get about 37/38*c+ its ridiculous.
at first I thought she was making a big deal out of the average overheating most phones get but NO I gave her my home R800i and said use that for today and ill use the ace (Eurgh the screen is tiny!) and I realised that its getting stupidly hot even when just basicly texting, no 3G on or Wifi, screen was turned low until I wanted to use it etc blah blah
WTF is going on?!
Anyone help with the loss of signal too? It has become frequent with over heating like... everytime it over heats the signal goes until I remove the back cover to leave it to cool.
the heat is like my R800i when I clock to 1.9GHz..
I think i got that overheat issue with stock rom with stock kernel when i first got this phone.
Now with custom rom and custom kernel all is good. Still heating when charging but i can really say never while actually using, even with heavy use of wifi for 3-4 hours.

Hey XDA!
I'm having an issue with my Galaxy S2 I9100. Basically the problem started a while ago when I dropped it and the screen shattered. I wasn't willing to get the screen replaced so I bought a replacement screen off of eBay and replaced it myself. At first it seemed to be in complete working order and everything was going great. However, over time I got an issue of the phone turning off and me having to restart it. It would come at the most random times too, I would be going about my business and the phone just randomly turned off. The problem progressed and got worse and worse and the shut downs would be more frequent. I remedied the problem by keeping the phone plugged into the A/C adapter and it wouldn't shut down while it was charging. It got worse however, and I could barely turn on the phone without it completely shutting down after a few seconds, and even when it was charging it would still turn off. So basically my question is how can I fix this? Is it a hardware problem and something that I shouldn't try to fix because its not worth it? I tried even resetting the phone to factory settings and everything I had in my knowledge to fix it but nothing would work. Would it be just worth it to sell it as spares? Thanks for helping me out!
That sound like the battery is dying, not the device.

Allright, the battery seems to have expanded a bit as well I should note, so that may be causing the problem. I have a friend with the same phone so I'll try his battery to see if it makes a difference.
Swap it & share the outcome with us.
Sent from the little guy
Battery expansion is a sure sign that the battery needs replacing, and the other symptoms you describe are common to a failed battery too........
If the battery has expanded, that is an indication of a build up of gasses within the cell.....the battery is now pressurised....it could physically fail at any time....best to take it out and throw it away before it leaks fluid all over the inside of your phone. Further charging will only serve to increase the risk of failure.

Oh god I feel so stupid now lol. Yeah I tried it with another battery and the phone works completely fine nothing wrong with it. I guess I'm gonna order a replacement battery off of eBay tonight and sell my phone once it arrives. Thanks so much guys! :good:
Just for future reference however, how is the battery expansion caused and what are some ways to prevent it? Thanks again.
'Old age'. You can't. When the battery begins to expand & feel 'squishy', it's time for a new one.
Hello, just wanted to post here and see if anyone else was having similar experiences with their phone.
So I have the ATT Mega, and it has been working fine for a little over a month now from when I first got it, love the phone. Last week or so, I noticed the battery would seem to drain much faster then usual and the back top part of the phone, where the camera lens is, would heat up very badly even when not using it.
I tried killing apps, restarting, nothing seemed to work. I checked the app manager and the battery stats, nothing out of the ordinary but the drain was there and the heat was so bad you really didnt want to hold it.
I contacted ATT and they sent me a replacement which I received last night. I turned it on and was trying it out and within minutes that phone started heating up in the same spot too.
They didnt send me a new battery because oddly enough the battery or that entire area in the back would not get hot at all, only the top half.
I contact them again today and they said they would send me a battery to try but I am scared it will not work again.
I also have a 64gb SD card that I use, but it is the same one I have used in my Note 2 and now this phone with no problem. I am currently using a Note 3 with the same SD and have no issues.
I would love to go back to my Mega though, I actually prefer it to my Note 3 but I am worried about this issue reoccuring or not getting fixed in the first place. Anyone else have anything similar to this with their Mega??
Mike
I have noticed it gets warm, but only when streaming videos. Just browsing the web or listening to music/iheartradio, nothing gets uncomfortable. I just notice the warmth after many minutes of streaming. Not uncomfortable either. Now I do have a case on it, so maybe that's why it doesn't seem as bad.
I have an i9205, but it's basically identical hardware. I've never had any overheating issues of any kind. Recently I've been running the "performance" CPU governor too, which locks the CPU at 1.7ghz constantly and yet I've never been able to make the phone throttle itself back.
Thanks for the responses! I am having ATT ship me a replacement battery to try that, hopefully it arrives today. I just dont understand why it would heat up so badly on both my original phone and their replacement one for me. I would think it has to be the battery or the SD card, but the card has no issues in my Note 3 and it didnt have problems in my original Mega for a month.
Crossing my fingers that it is just the battery so I can go back to using my Mega, I miss it -.-
I noticed my Mega getting warm in the same location last night, but didn't have battery drain. This is a replacement Mega since I bricked my pervious one, but never had that problem with that phone. Today, after being fully charged and not used while at work, I checked my phone and it was 15% and warm. So I turned off WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth and plugged it in a 1 amp charger, 13% and still warm after a few minutes. Airplane mode, 12% and still warm after a few minutes. Turned the phone off and charging for an hour, phone is cool and 37% (makes since). Phone has been on, charging, and WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth turned off for 43 minutes, phone is cool and 56%. Now I'm turning WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth on individually to see if it repeats. I'll keep you posted on my results.
Thanks! I will wait to see your results!
Ive no issue with mine...
Well, sorry to say, it's been almost a month of me playing with this phone trying to duplicate my one time overheating with no luck. I've WiFi streamed for hours, transfered huge files over BT, viewed videos, and anything else I can think of with nothing. Maybe it was a fluke...who knows.

Hello, just wanted to post here and see if anyone else was having similar experiences with their phone.
So I have the ATT Mega, and it has been working fine for a little over a month now from when I first got it, love the phone. Last week or so, I noticed the battery would seem to drain much faster then usual and the back top part of the phone, where the camera lens is, would heat up very badly even when not using it.
I tried killing apps, restarting, nothing seemed to work. I checked the app manager and the battery stats, nothing out of the ordinary but the drain was there and the heat was so bad you really didnt want to hold it.
I contacted ATT and they sent me a replacement which I received last night. I turned it on and was trying it out and within minutes that phone started heating up in the same spot too.
They didnt send me a new battery because oddly enough the battery or that entire area in the back would not get hot at all, only the top half.
I contact them again today and they said they would send me a battery to try but I am scared it will not work again.
I also have a 64gb SD card that I use, but it is the same one I have used in my Note 2 and now this phone with no problem. I am currently using a Note 3 with the same SD and have no issues.
I would love to go back to my Mega though, I actually prefer it to my Note 3 but I am worried about this issue reoccuring or not getting fixed in the first place. Anyone else have anything similar to this with their Mega??

My friend kind of had the similar situation... in his case he changed the phone
My Samsung Galaxy 6.3 is getting hot on the ear piece and the back of the phone where the camera lense is. What's the problem? I need to know if I need a new battery or if it's the Motherboard I need to replace and will the phone blow up in my face till I fix this problem?
