[Q] S2 Overheating and loosing battery - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey.
I'm not sure what has caused this but lately my S2 overheats when I enable WiFi or 3g. It gets very hot, like super hot.
I'm not sure how to check the exact temperature but if somebody can tell me how to I can get back to you on it.
This leads to the battery draining insanely fast.
Just there I was charging my phone in safe mode and it was at 100%.
I reset the phone to get it into normal mode and it went from 100% to 33%.
Over the course of the next hour it went down to 4% and I wasn't even using it.
What could be wrong with it?
I'm using Cyanogen Mod 9 or 10 I think if that helps.

Try to flash another rom

You've flashed your phone but you don't even know what you've flashed? :what: I'm pretty sure, you've done something wrong
- experience7

It was a good while ago so I can't really remember, pretty sure its Cyanogen 9.
If I was to go to another ROM what one should I do?
I was just going to go onto Jellybean but I don't know if I should wait for the official release

I'm using JellyBam with Siyah kernel and it's great! Best ROM I've ever seen on my SGS2
- experience7

Is JellyBam basically Jellybean then? What does it miss from the official release

U have to flash another ROM and kernel, this happens on stock ROM, even when you talk more than 5-10 min . Also might be a modem problem, U can change it from a whole list from here http://veyka.co.uk/sgs2/radios/ ... there are winners or losers out there !

Okay I'm going to go out on a limb and just start over with the phone.
Could somebody tell me the best ROM for JellyBean? Also a good recommended modem because I have read that is what causes the overheating issues?

Do you mean randomly some time after plugging in the charger, but not the 100% notification?
Screen turns on when a charger is plugged in, and also at 100%. A custom ROM can fix the 100% notification.
randomly, comes on about 1-2 minutes after plugging in
i don't have the answer, but i think we're talking about powering the phone off then charging. it's supposed to just show a battery pic but is powering back on. it might be the kernel you're using. that's what people said it was when i tried Sprint's version. mine didn't power back on with this model, but i haven't tried it lately.
using Zedomax stock kernal,phone is off ,plug in to charge normall battery pic will appear after a minute or so it will boot up on it's own
Ghost in the Shell...
Can't help but sure sounds strange... Have you tried to reflash and see if the problem persists?

reflashed still there

Make sure that the rom you are using is one which is designed for the SGS i777 phone.
It might even be a good idea to re-download the rom just incase the first download
some how got corrupted during downloading.
Do a clean fresh "wipe data/factory reset" and re-flash the rom but don't flash any custom
kernels and don't install any apps at all until you have had enough time to see if the
problem still persists.
Flashing roms like any of the i9100 rom or any other rom which was not
intended for our phones can cause unexpected and random issues.
Good Luck!
I have the same problem. I turned off the phone to charge up, a min later, the phone automatically turns on by itself. I rooted it with Zedomax kernel (SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel) before. Could this be the cause? Any other users have the same problem?

Not true. There are minor differences between i777 ROMs and GT9100 ROMs. The main differences are the radio, kernel, and button mapping; which have all been fixed with Hellraiser and HapticFix.

My phone does the same thing. I don't consider it to be a problem because my phone is rarely ever turned off. I wouldn't be too concerned about it. If it bothers you enough, you could always do a warranty exchange. Personally, I'd rather live with a minor annoyance, than have AT&T send me a refurbished replacement.

You can try out nomoarpowah app. It replaces the battery charging 'off' screen with one that has reboot controls and shows the time.
It might be able to stop the phone from booting itself. Not to mention it's really cool and will only work on Samsung phones.

Try Entrophy's kernel to see if it does the same. Screen off charging is controlled by the kernel from what I'm told. When I was running MIUI it use to do that until they added the function in the kernel.
EDIT:
I just decided to try it since I never charge that way....lol and mine did it as well.
ah well.... I think this may be an issue.

Well if it's any consolation my phone is doing it too. I guess I never left it off long enough. Starts right up after a minute or so.
But once this issue gets figured out I'm sure you'll really like the app. It's good to turn off the phone every once and awhile. And with it you can set it to boot the phone when it's done charging or at a specific time.

I'm also having this problem. Is it hardware? I have the latest unnamed rom. Phone won't stay off no matter what...I've tried pulling the battery and everything.
I don't have this issue on miui if it helps...
IIRC, I also didn't have the issue with UnNamed, but its been a while since I ran that.

i am having the same issue, using a zedomax kernel, if anyone has a solution i would like to hear it, i like to be able to shut the phone off when charging it some times, it seems to charge faster when its off
This is a known issue with my kernel's 11/23 release, and ONLY that release for my kernel, it was a result of adding support for the Interactive governor.
I have no clue what the results might be for Zedo's kernel - he released one kernel, lots of people had problems with it, then he disappeared. He probably enabled Interactive governor too.
It could also affect CM7, I know for a while CM7 builds had issues with not supporting LPM at all - CM7 devices would go to the bootanimation and stay there.

[Q] Running Hot - Any suggestions?

My first time posting here, so please be gentle.
I've had my SGS2 for around 6 months now, its an unlocked ASIA (as I live in BKK). I noticed on the original stock firmware that the phone was running hot, as in the back panel around the camera would heat up to the point I could feel it in my pocket. This would normally happen if I was using a game like angry birds, or a psx emulator. But sometimes it would happen in the browser under normal conditions. I just thought this may be a issue with dual core phones, so I took this as a 'feature' and accepted it.
But now lots of people I work with have this phone, and it came up in conversation about heat. Everyone stated they do not have this issue, that the phone remains cool all the time.
I have moved between many different ROMs, and have finally stuck with Westcrips ICS ROM. Then a strange thing happened, the heat issue goes away with version 8.4. Phone is cool all the time, even playing my PSX emulator in software mode. Battery also increased from 12 hours to 16-18 hours.
But now I just moved up to 9.3, and its back again, the front screen is very hot to touch when using things like the MX video player, or surfin the web. And if I launch a game ... well, forget about it. The battery drain is immense to, be lucky if I pull an hour of use like that.
Anyone else suffer from this? Hardware fault? I can't take it back because my flash counter is probably in the 20's now, and I can't find a reset JIG in Bangkok.
Cheers.
FYI, I always do a clean wipe, dalvik / cache / permissions.
same issued here, phone bought from Thailand also. Phone getting hot when browser,downloading and playing some games( not all). And its really hot
Changing Rom and kernel sometimes solved it for awhile but eventually will come back.
Looking for solution also
Thanks
P/s: right now im using LA4 stock Rom and CF root LA4 kernel and still get hot

Thanks for getting back to me.
The one I know that fixes it is Resurrection 8.4. Its a dam good rom, and given me the best battery life (once I got 20 hours with normal use). But there is an issue with touch screen sensitivity that makes it annoying.
Maybe its something to do with the Kernel on the Asian models?
If I find a fix I'll pm you.
Hmmm mine only gets uncomfortably hot when playing some 3d games. Didn't experience the same level of heat when just browsing though... It just gets a little warm but far from gaming temps.
What i did was undervolt and underclock when playing. It did reduce the heat and extend the battery though i admit it's not the best solution / workaround.

What settings did u use for setcpu if u don't mind me asking? Will it work on ICS?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I use Tegrak Overclock so I can mess with clocks and voltages with the stock kernel. See below for my settings... 100% stable on my phone.

Well it looks like the ICS kernel is not supported right now under Tegrak. It is bleeding edge.
I tried setCPU to under clock but ended up with a lot of slow down and some full system freezes.
Guess its back to 8.4 until I find a more definitive answer.

Since you're using Westcrip's Resurrection Remix, you can get rid of the triangle by using Chainfire's TriangleAway app - I'm using Resurrection too and it got rid of the flash counter and the triangle.
TriangleAway should work on all ICS roms though.
Strange, installed triangle away yesterday evening. Work like a charm, so I guess if I need to return I can now.

Mine is 28 C and I'm using phone for more than 2 hours, internet browser. If you tried differents rom and kernel and still nothing, I suggest you to clear up you phone. Reboot in recovery, mount and storage and format system, data, cache, factory reset, boot in download mode, flash stock ics rom, then root with cf root kernel. Then install again rom which you're using at the moment.
I9100 has the highest heat emission (my brothers 35 degrees)
I9100T is better (mines 28 degrees)
I9100G has the best i hear but i cant confirm that
The best you can do is find a good modem, as i noticed ever since i switched from LPQ to LP6 i've heated up a lot less
i also use siyah so i think that doesn't cause huge amounts of heating, as mentioned before always close apps
Hope this helped and good luck

Oh no your not wrong, both kernel, and modem have to do with heating up, but the Siyah kernel hasnt had any complaints with heating, so that's what makes me think your modem is the problem
I dunno which modem will be best for your device sry
you will have to figure out, use instructions here
My SGS2 is going back for repairs due to overheating. It started by draining a full battery in an hour. Battery temp was 64C and now it heats up just by inserting the battery and not even turning on the phone. Not possible to charge it either. Tried flashing stock rom, factory resets but no go so my belief is that this is a hardware issue and not a software problem. Needless to say it has never been close to water or any other fluids. I got the phone about two months ago so hopefully this will be, and should be IMO, covered by warranty.
Will be interesting to see what the repair center says...

Hi,
My Wife's GS2 had a problem overheating recently too - it was stock ROM, not even rooted, so it wasn't overclocked. I pulled it apart, racking my brains trying to find the problem. I tried updating the the latest official ROM, updating the Modem, but nothing...
It turned out that her Internal SD Card was full, which must have been causing IO issues, and the the CPU to overwork or something, because as soon as I transferred all the photos etc. from the card, and cleared caches, it resumed running at a reasonable temperature.
Sometimes the answer is simpler than the one we're looking for - or it certainly was in my case.
Hope that helps.
Hi...mine was heating up like hell too, and its 3 days old...
for me it was the facebook mobile application on samsung galaxy sII i9100 (ICS). Installed KH3 modem , no change .. but task manager showed 30-66 cpu usage...the top 10% surface of the face of the phone and the back of the phone near the camera was searing hot, somewhere up to 50-55 degrees Celsius, making a phonecall in those conditions was very uncomfortable, and i was afraid of hardware damage if that went on. So, If i shut it down and used facebook from browser, it cooled off back to 30-35 degrees in a matter of minutes. only mobile data was turned on, gps, bluetooth, wifi was always off.
So im guessing for these kinda heat-ups (top of the phone and upper back) it is app which drains the CPU...
Note : i had no problems with battery life, meaning it resisted 12h moderate/heavy usage even with facebook mobile app...but i always try to exit all apps when im not using the phone ( bad(?) symbian habit)
you should change the modem :good:

Galaxy S II too hot

Hey guys!
I know some thread has been created about the hot Galaxy S II issues, but I have a different experience.
The first time I flashed my phone to ICS, my phone was really hot, and that was really unusual when I used GB before. I was sick of my battery was draining, and my phone was hot, I switched back to GB Checkrom, and guess what? The phone was still hot.
First I thought I could be the rom, but I tried different kernel to see how it is going on when I had ICS, thereafter I switched back to Checkrom GB, and I used NEAK kernel, which I had good experiement, but my phone was still to damn hot, and I reflashed second try, which was Siyah Kernel. Still to hot, now I'm using SLIM ICS, and my phone is hot! What is going on??? Have I been flashing to much, and damaged my hardware or something?
When I'm taking a phone call, or browsing a bit on the net, or even listening to music, charging or standby, still too hot! Any ideas how to reduce the temperature of my phone?
Thanks!
Did you allow the phone to have a few complete battery recharging cycles after each time you flashed another rom? Mine gets hotter right after a new Rom is flashed, after few cycles goes back to normal.

1: hope you wiped when you went from GB to ICS and again when ICS to GB
2: change your modem, or better do a full wipe and flash a stock GB ROM.

Yup I was like u asking questions here about HEATING effect of SGS2.. But let me explain u wy i got back... When I bought my phone last month 13th I couldn tolerate unrooted phone.. So rooted and installed a custom ROM... U wont believe me while calling i couldnt hold it on EAR! It was that hot... Even if my young bro plays a game or watches a movie it used to get burn like hell..
1. I tried Siyah Kernel My phone was HOT!!(NO hard feelings for Siyah )
2. I tried Fluxi Kernel viola heating effect gone!! But still the phone used to heat up after 20 minutes of continous usage. I mean heavy usage like 3G...
3. Finally tried KI4 modem now the real action started no heat even after heavy usage!!
Dont know whether these things might work on ur phone(In theory must work ) But keep trying different kernel and modems till u come to know this heat is tolearable before that

Kernal wake lock problem....

Hi all, I seem to have a problem with kernal wake locks running my battery down. I installed WXLPY NeatRom Lite about 3 weeks ago have tried flashing and reinstalling the kernal, even a different kernal but still running it down. I upgraded the kernal to 3.0.31-Siyah-v5.0.1+ but still the same if not worse. I charged my battery 100% about 15 minutes ago and it's already at 89%....could someone please recommend a more stable ROM or how I can get back to stock ROM as this doesn't seem to be doing my phone any favours. Plus keep losing use of my camera, lags to much and constantly having to restart to get signal or cause it's frozen.
Pretty new to this but good at following instructions.

You should find out what is causing this problem. Look here. If you find kernel wakelocks, search in xda why they occur and how to suppress them.
You can then decide to go for a new kernel or a stock rom.
Hi, thanks for that. I've tried better battery stats and that's how I found or about the wake locks, it didn't seen to do much, as in telling me what was actually causing them. I've tried a different kernal recommended by Neat ROM developer but that just seemed to make it worse. What's the easiest way to return to stock ROM. Only installed this cause I failed to update to 4.0.4 after unlocking phone. Plus, this battery is less then a month old.
