So, I was at school and my phone was fine, it was in my pocket. During the day I take it off to check what time it was, and half the screen was black with two green lines on the right side (check pic). There was no collision while it was in my pocket, nor I let it fall so I don't understand what happened :\
It's still on warranty so I'm lucky I guess, but it still sucks.
Anyone has any idea of might have happened?
Certainly looks like the screen was stressed to me. I always keep my phone with the screen facing my leg with nothing else in my pocket.

that looks bad. did you try pressing the screen a bit, not too firmly though. do you have a custom rom?
Do you use tight jeans? that may explain the stress if you somehow "flexed" too much

The overclock was high (806), but never had any FC or warnings, and I've had it like that for a month now, didn't have any overheat issues either. Problem is they probably won't replace it immediatly, they'll try to repair first, which means it'll take some time, so that's a bit lame but I'll just have to wait I guess.

Hello..I am thinking of retiring my sgs for sgs2..Until a few days earlier i had even planned, when to get it..i have played with the phone on stores and its more than amazing..its so much better than everything else out there, its almost alien..
BUT..For a few days i have browsed to reaserch before i spend that kind of money.And it turns out it has MANY issues..
yellow screens
short wifi ranges
pink photos
rf-flaky gps
battery drains
sudden reboots
and worst of all overheats..
I guess for the most part they "could" be software problems..But overheating is a real worry for me..I live in a country where summers , ambient temperatures easily climb to 40-45 degrees celsius..An overheat combined to that could litteraly melt the device..
So i ask of you , already owners..Is it really as bad as reading about it looks?or is it exxagerations?It is not a cheap device so i should proceed carefuly.Thank you..
Its a dual core so its going to get hot and as it has a thin case will appear more hot .
But its not what i term a HOT hot i would term it warm mostly .
The other problems you mention dont doubt that they exist on someone's phone but not on mine from day one .
jje
I am using my second sgs2 now. The first one I had had no issues except a pink spot on photos. (this was gone after firmware upgrade)
Then the phone got stolen....
Second sgs2 now and everything works fine, no overheating or anything, I would say my old sgs got even warmer at times especially when gaming on the charger.
I would say it depends a bit on your device, but overall it should be ok! Im extremely happy after upgrading to be honest (Hence I bought a second sgs2 after the first one got ripped)

Hello..I remember seeing you often on sgs subfora.I hope you are happy with your upgrade!
Would you say it is like 40 degrees warm?or 50 degrees warm?As i said if it escalades too much on an already high ambient temperature it could fry it..
Also..Do you use a case?I suspect that would make heat problems worse?
I'm planning to retire my 6 months old SGS and get an SGS II!
I know I can't go wrong with this choice ;-]
Hi,
-yellow screens
if my sgsII screen is yellow, than it should be So no problems there, all colors are like they should be. I really like the display
-short wifi ranges
I heard that from a friend, he tried with another friend and iPhone 4 had better range for wifi. Where the sgsII had no connection, the iPhone still could use wifi.
in my apartment I can use the phone everywhere. router is on the one side of the house, bed on the other side (~10m, 2 walls) and it works. It shows 2 of 3 for wifi. So its okay for me
-pink photos
none, I read the post here and tried it out with a white wall, flash and no flash. Bad light. But picture was still perfect.
-rf-flaky gps
GPS works fine for me
-battery drains
its a smartphone, so you need to recharge every day or every second day. Depending on how much you use it. Like any other high end android device.
-sudden reboots
No reboots yet
-and worst of all overheats..
it is getting hot.
but no problems for me.
It's gettin colder very fast if you stop to use it.
But even when I used it over an hour (plugged in) I had no problem with holding it.
Overall I like the phone. I dont want another one
buy it. i love this phone. Nothing to complain about. I came from a decent phone too!(atrix)
Please don't take the general section at face value. I have a sgs2 from first batch with no issues. After any device release, the section will be filled with false complaints.
Most complaint threads will have the most post versus positive threads. Most if not all complaint threads are bs with very few actual members having problems.
No phone is perfect but my device is running great.

Yes i did.And when entering new post title none comparable was found as well..i found clusters of others, asking about each of the issues separately,weeks apart..so i thought instead of asking in 7 archived topics , to ask in a new one..could have even been possible many of them to have been resolved by updates, since then.
Nah this phone is terrible. My nokia 3310 does everythong sooooo much better!
The screen is better
Battery lasts longer

Using a case now and it does make it a bit worse, but I havent seen the temperature going above 37 on the SGS2 yet. SGS1 got 42 sometimes. never saw 50 or something like this..
I do have a small problem now..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14537539&postcount=135
If I open the pictures fullscreen on this post, I can see some lines on my screen. On full brightness I dont see them, but with lower there are vague lines. I might check if other phones have this to, can some people here check it for me?
This is a minor problem, and I havent noticed it before someone pointed it out. The branding is also an issue if you make it an issue, this is software not hardware so can be fixed.

I've got to 50 before, using google maps and navigation beta simultaneously. It is a dual core phone though, and obviously is going to have a bit of sizzle behind it when pounding the processors.
I'd say go for it, it really is an amazing phone. The so called problems that have been raised are so superficial that they are near to non-existent. e.g. to see the yellow tint you have to turn down the brightness, use a certain coloured grey background, use a camera to take a picture of it, and then use photoshop to compare the colour of the two sides.
Come on folks, really.
I've used it heavily for a week and have had no overheating problems, you can always check the task manager if an application is misbehaving, it even blinks red if it's hitting the cpu hard.

thanks for the answer on overheating mate..your problem is nothing to worry about..its called banding and it exists on all amoled screens...it is more apparent on shades of grey colour..if you use winamp you can probably see it there on the main screen as well..nothing to worry about.i guess the new samoled+ will also have slower burn in time so it will not become worse soon..
i am not an expert in matters like this,but woulddn't it help if we could get replacement back covers made of thin aluminum?it would also ensure that if the phone dropped it would land on its back and not on the screen probably.
Well I just got a new GS2 from Vodafone in Australia, I havent really used it much since I got it a few days ago because it wasnt activated yet, but now it has and I put it on charger and it gets extremely hot, I downloaded battery monitor and the temperature was in the 50s (Celsius)!
I just put it down for a while and it cooled right off so maybe it only gets extremely hot while charging and being used?

It's normal that a phone gets warm, but it isn't normal that it gets really hot. Don't flash anything and bring it back for exchange or repair.

Mine has gotten pretty warm playing games while charging in the summer, although not too hot to hold comfortably. Now it's winter and it barely gets warm doing the same.
So unless yours gets too hot to hold I'd say it's within the norm, but just to clarify, does it get hot just from charging or are you using CPU intensive apps at the same time?

change the kernel
Use a kernel that supports Under Clocking (Siyah or DK)
and use Set Cpu to set Profiles
Set Profile Charging to 200:500
And Done no more Heat Issues
My GS2 never had hot problem other than when I used 3G alot, it is NDT MIUI GINGER 2.3.7.
Don't use it for intensive purposes such as gaming when charging. Browsing, e-mail and youtube should be fine.
It does get very hot when you charge and play a 3D-intensive game at the same time.
While charging and just basic use like Facebook and stuff it got up to 51 but as soon as I put it down within 5-10 minutes it was back under 40. Is the problem most likely the battery or phone?
Also I wanted to stay stock but I guess if this gets worst.ill have to root it.

Get Voltage control from the market and undervolt, it wells keep the phone temp down.
Hopefully you are rooted
Im not rooted, just on stock still.
Also with the update it seems to be getting a bit better, I was playing Minecraft while charging to see if it got hot, as well as some other games and it stayed at around 36 which isnt too bad is it?
Also dont know if it is just my new Sammy or all S2s but my screen isnt very bright at full brightness, and it is sort of dark like contrasted, again it might just be how its meant to look I'm not sure, just want to make sure theres nothing wrong while Its still new on warranty!

Dude people telling you that a boiling hot phone with stock are freaking nuts.No stock kernel should reach 50 DEG. ever althought 2.3.4 was well known for over heating problems and thats why with 2.3.5 you have noticed a drop to 36 which is quite acceptable but keep and eye on it cos the more apps you download the more it could rise cos the more apps there will be open in the back ground.As for the screen in my opinion,no its not normal.Ive flashed various kernels and when Ive flashed a bad one my screen has lost brightness and the whites have gone from white to almost a light brown or light grey and when I reflashed a new kernel to fix the problem my screen became bright and the whites glowed like super bright white.I beleive you have a kernel problem and if you can handle being without your phone a while then make use of your warranty and try to get it changed using this info to convince the service centre you have a faulty kernel.Its the best thing you can do if you want to stay on stock.

Thanks for that mate yeah I remember hearing about the awesome s2 screen and then i wasn't that impressed but i think it might be mine!
Problem is i don't know if i have enough evidence for warranty.
Maybe i should just go root, but then if the overheating gets worst is it easy to go back to stock for warranty?
One last thing, so you think its a kernel problem? Will changing kernels completely fix the issue if it is a kernel problem?

If you want to root and give it a try`Id recommend a CF-Root kernel as they are basically stock rooted kernels just pimped up a bit and very simple to install and easy on your phone and battery.If you want to unroot you just reflash the stock kernel.Always advisable to buy a USB jig from ebay if you are going to start flashing.They cost around 2 to 5 bucks depending on where you live and it will clear your bin counter which counts the number of times you flash your phone.If you send it of under warranty and the counter is not at zero then the warranty is void.Good trick to know.
EDIT:Then again you could say that your phone reboots itself once a day so you think it might have a problem.They will send it of and most probably reflash the firmware and therefore the kernel alsnly problem is its a long time without your phone when you could do it at home yourself.But then again thats what a warranty is for if you want to stay stock.
Max brightness, charging, and playing a stressful game like gta 3 would put the phone at its hottest; in fact the firmware inn running disallows max brightness whilst on charge. I'd check Kies for an update; if it continues, go straight back and replace.
Also a case can help dissipate heat, or opposite, depending on material.

Battery Drain is the same as my first phone, but runs a little bit cooler (gets to about 100-104 degrees). I only used it to surf xda(total of about 30min) and to make calls, so I don't understand why the phone should get past 95 degrees.
Even before I rooted and changed to new RUU on the second phone it ran a little warm just off a phone call (about 98 degrees and the convo was only 15min long).
Do you really need 3 threads for the same topic?
Battery issues. Should I try for 3rd exchange?
Heat and Battery
Going to exchange my Rezound
I think it would be as Apple says... "operating well within our thermal specifications"
It is not overheating until the notification led blinks orange and green...
I must admit I did overdo it with the threads, but I paid 200 bucks for a phone not to just "deal" with the heat issues.

That's the way the phone runs. 105 isn't that hot anyway. Stop making new threads about the same thing, and either pick a different phone, or get over it. I don't really know what else to say.

105 is hot when only running for 30 min
Trying to find one that is perfect is like a needle in a haystack apparently...
You are going to have to use your exchange duration until you find that magical one. Nothing we can tell you will fix heat issues out of the box.
I am not just trying to pick on you... the rezound does seem to run warmer than other smartphones and the screen sucks alot of juice when on.
If you are not hitting 120 you don't have a problem.

I understand, but I wasn't asking for a fix. I know the heat issue is more of a hardware issue then software. I just don't want to have to run into problems later if I just try and stick it out, but anyways I got the replacement and the phone is steady at 88-95 A LOT better. I'm Satisfied

your car heats up really fast as well but doesn't overheat does it??? It gets to a temp and stablizes. For mine, on 4g, it will hit 115-120 if I'm streaming, about 105-110 just surfing the web. It's just the way these phones are. Either deal with it or move on.
Mine never goes over 110, and has only hit 115 once, knock on wood.

I didn't know my car heated up fast lol. Ur phone is not mine nor did it stabilize at a certain temp... And no I will not "deal" with it that is why I got another phone that does not have the issue my old phones did.

My phone never gets above like 85. The only time it is warm is when it first boots up. Give it five minutes and it is cold as ice. Even on 4g.

something must be running in the background to cause it to heat up..check whats running in the back ground. have you tried rebooting it? what about the battery stats? do you have the charger plugged in too?
All devices get hot pretty fast these day.
Every recent device I have owned has done so. Phones are more prone to this as there are no fans in them and they pack very powerful processors.
Running flash videos will heat them up even faster..

Well, that can't be help. HTC One's casing disperses the heat evenly to its entire body. That was also my impression when I first hands on, way too uncomfortable to hold in the hand.
Anyway, you should get a plastic case to deal with it
it's normal,every recent device like this,
my iphone 5, lumia 920,and nexus 4, all heats up really fast. maybe we can use it in icebox:laugh::laugh:
Mine got somewhat hot for the first 2 days, now it gets a little warm but thats normal.
Use power save....mine doeent heat up that much with it on

i bet it has a lot to do with the aluminum body - it makes a very good heat sink. plastic body devices retain the heat and insulate it from your touch. I bet the heat-sinking quality of the aluminum body will help with performance. just a thought.
