[Q] My S2 Heats Up Alot... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, just a quick question Anyone know why my S2 heats up alot when i do a lot of texting? im using NeatRom Lite 4.4 and the default kernel that comes with it, if im not mistaken its Philz, it doesnt bother me much but would be nice to know why maybe i can resolve it somehow, i noticed it heats up mostly near the camera.
Thanks

near the camera , it our dual core processor
texting won't heat it up , see what other processes u have on and terminate them

Check which app heating the phone by Battery Stats Plus.
I had the same problem few weeks ago, and it was Facebook Messenger heating my phone, I just re-installed and it's ok right now.

[Q] My SGS2 heats up when I play game and BLN doesn't work... :(

Hi experts and mates,
First of all, happy new year to all of yous...
Straight to the point, I have Omega ROM v10 now, but since I bought S2 and play any games or listen to music or so, the phone heats up... Like near camera and speaker areas it gets hot and I can feel it if I touch the fone...
Is it normal or do I have to take it to service centre??? What can be the reason???
And one more thing, BLN Control is not working too...
Any suggestions or help would be highly appreciated...
Try Phenomenal kernal 2.0 medium or extreme its makes a big difference in running graphic intensive games at cooler tempretures. It's based on speedmod so there's no bln

Me too ......
Thanks and appreciation for the prompt response Milan... I will try Phenomenal kernal and give my feedback here...
By the way, there is one more problem in my S2:
Backlight doesn't work perfectly... For example, I start playing any game like angry bird, the backlight doesn't light up at all for a minute or two, then suddenly backlight is up and then suddenly screen becomes dark again...
Why it is like that??? What should I do for this issue??? Screen is suppose to lit whenever we touch it, ryt???
If its service centre you have no waranty.You will need to revert to stock.

Reverting back to stock will sort out all my above issues??? Sure???
Any other option???
It's normal.
Period.
So there's this thing called electricity and there's this thing called a processor. When the process asks for Mr. Wire to bring it some more Mrs. Electricity it gets really excited. The more electricity it asks for the more excited it gets. One of the bi-products of excitement is heat, when Mr. Processor is chugging along at 1200 MHz its really really excited. But when Mr. Processor is only going at 200 MHz its not so excited, so it doesn't produce so much heat. The only way that your phone can work is when Mr. Processor and Mrs. Electricity get together, and because Mr. Processor is quite a horny blighter it's always going to produce heat. As for your "problem" pertaining to BLN not working, Mr. Process is quite a clever little thing and has made the conscious decision for you to stop BLN from working because its a massive waste of battery and phone resources. There, isn't Mr. Processor just wonderful. You should go and over-clock him to 1600MHz right now to reward him.
Thanks for your help and guidance guys... By the way, I installed Siyah Kernel v2.6.4 and the heating issue is resolved... Also BLN is working now with this kernel...
Thanks once again for your suggestions...

[Q] Phone Will Lag After Continuous Up Time...

Hey guys... I feel like I cannot keep the phone on for more that 72 hours continuously.
I'm using Galaxy SII, G version (I9100G). Currently everything original (no custom rom/kernel)
I believe that most of Android phones have the same problem.
After 50 hours++ of up time of the phone (I mean the phone keeps on for 50 hours), The phone will become noticeable lag, but just a bit, not too much. One of the best evidence is in the game Fruit Ninja. I will feel the lag everytime I slash the fruit.
I'm sure that most apps is closed (except background apps like samsung keypad) and my battery usage graph is in straight horizontal line (without any optimize software, only with BetterBatteryStats). Only 500 - 600MB of RAM is used and I think this is normal.
After I restart the phone, the phone will become smooth and the RAM will be 300 - 400MB used only. Others do not show any difference.
And sure, the phone will repeat the same problem after some hours.
I wish I can keep the phone on continuously and no need to restart it frequently just like normal phones.
Can someone share some experience about this?
Is there any solution for this?
Or this is the nature of Android?
Can Custom ROM solve this?
Your best bet is to use an app killer program so you can close anything and everything running in the background.
Holy... If you mean task killers, I can tell you that it will not work, but will make the situation far worse for Android 2.3 and up...
I use one that's built in to the ROM that I use and my phone runs great for days on end.
I'm using Memory Booster (RAM Optimizer) as my first experiment to solve this problem...

Why samsung galaxy s 2 i9100?

Basically, i got this phone(GS2 i9100M) a week ago and found way too many problems that i cannot fix. So, why exactly does so many people like about this phone compared to other variant, e.g. GS2 T989 with snapdragon processor? I mean, my brother has the T989 and i also had it before too until i sold it to get this. It seems like i've been experiencing a lot of problem from this phone that does not really occur on the T989. The default music player is faulty which causes auto reboot, and the phone constantly heats up; even when viewing photos from the gallery! What attracted me to get this phone was people's opinion about the CPU and GPU also the gorilla glass, but i dont really notice a big differences in speed between the two phones. The T989 also doesn't heat up this much or this often. Feel free to share your experience people, and would appreciate if someone can offer me some advices on how to fix the heating up issues.
First, its better to talk n read at 9100 forum section but since im a 9100 user, ill share it here
Yes, on day one i got my 9100, it gets really warm even when not charging and got a lot worse when on charge. Its mostly the media scanning process which seems unstoppable on the earlier build when the SGS2 was released
I first noticed that its solved when using XXKG3 firmware and above. And also, undervolting to around 50mv reduces the heat too. A normal 9100 is capable of undervolting up to 175-200mv but it depends on phones are some silicones are made better and its not a constant result. What samsung made is setting the voltage at all the same safe level to avoid reboots. U have the option to undervolt it to reduce heat or even underclock to 1Ghz since 1.2ghz is quite overpowered and u want to conserve the battery and make it last longer.
Try Siyah kernel and learn to tweak using voltage controller and extweaks. There r guides given in SGS2 section here on XDA and it is well compiled.
Cheers

Thanks for your reply. I've posted in the wrong section by mistake. Someday I'd consider rooting the phone, but at the moment I don't want to take the risk because I'm still kind of new to smartphones and don't know much about it. What's your opinions on ICS? Do you think ICS OS release will solve most of these problems?

[Q] does the galaxy s3 have lag ?

Hello, this is my first post in the Samsung section, i just sold my xperia sp, because it gave me a lot of head ache, always freezing and lagging, scrolling is laggy too, not always, but 70% of the time, specially when multitasking, and what i mean by multitasking is just every day usage stuff,
switching between messenger and facebook is really pain in the ass, very slow and laggy, scrolling on Facebook is very laggy most of the time and i have to re-install the app every few days to prevent it from being laggy again
when i first enable wifi or mobile date, the phone will freeze for 5 seconds, because it couldn't handle all the received notifications at the same time and i have to wait at least 15 seconds for the phone to settle
apps force closing on me, home icons disappearing, and sometimes i get a blank empty app drawer ... and many other horrible things this phone did to torture me
so my question is, will i face the same fate if i get a galaxy s3 ? i am mainly interested in the lte variant with 2gb of ram !! because i already know that the international variant is as slow as my sp , perhaps a little better .

I think you should go for a newer device, even the lte variant is almost 3 years old.Check the htc one or LG g2, never ever ever Samsung again, but this is my opinion.

Xperia sp is not a bad phone, it has 1.7ghz dual core krait by qualcomm. I'm wondering for a user who can make a thread on xda, why can't you handle your lag problem? Maybe with installing an aosp rom, or add some tweaks, or etc

you will not understand what i mean only after you use one , xperia sp is the slowest phone ever made, it's kernel and software are not optimized at all, the phone on paper is very nice, but in real life, it's a nightmare to use.
it tends to freeze and lag on the slightest tasks, like getting notifications and message from facebook, scrolling in messenger and facebook gets very very sluggish because of very bad software and very bad ram management, almost every time you use youtube , or facebook, when you press the home button, the home icons disappear for few seconds, also, in the morning, or after few hours with data/wifi off, when you turn one of them on, the phone will freeze for 10 seconds, and keep acting slow for other 10 seconds, bcuz it couldn'tt handle one messagee and two facebook or update norification..
the only thing that works nice on this phone is video games( adreno 320+720p) but it's useless most of the time in heavy games, asphalt 8 and modern combat5, rr3 always start to lag then crash to home beceause ram gets very low ( bad ram management ?)
tried all official available roms, trie all available custum roms, the phone still slow, but sightley better with lilttle more free ram
the only occasion where the phone is smooth is when wifi/data off, n o background apps, and exploring the menu , also after factory reset, but gets bogged down as soon as you install few social apps that always like to stay in background...
i hope you don't get xperia sp
i tried all tweaks, they don't help much..

Wew i don't know if it was that bad. I've tried Xperia L and i'm pretty satisfied with it's performance, but unfortunately it has a very bad screen quality. You can't use 2 fingers at the same time on it, nice phone but destroyed by ****ty screen LOL
Btw, how if xsp was compared to xl? I only can imagine xsp's performance with that way
i tried xperia s, sp, ion, and all of lag very bad after few weeks from a fresh install , even after fresh install, you can see it freeze when installing apps specially, or receiving notifications. all are the same ****. only sony phone i used that doesn't lag is xperia z1
no matter what it won't bog down, but it has ghost screen that sony won't fix, replaced the phone 3 times, and always i end up with the same ghost typing my screen when the phone heats up, so i sold it yesterday. now i think it's not worth paying much money for expensive phone, samsung s3 has nice screen, i am interrested in the i9305, my brother had the 9300 it was laggy too
so if you have 9305,, i ask if it lag or no, very simple question

Ive owned both, and I have to say the lte variant is a cracking phone! Best hardware in its time. Vs the moto g 2014 which can be picked up for around the same priced (although s3 lte will be used or refurbished to be as cheap) its great. The extra ram is the key here, thats why the sp (which I also have owned) sucks hard, as does the standard s3 on stock, although it was pretty good on cm11

It's a good idea to remove the bloatware, but it won't help you with lag. Temperatures get high and the phone automatically lowers the perfomance, because the phone would otherwise have problems with overheating.
May be out of line: but
Seem to conform same reaction.It is my impression that (lag ! Never had overheating) Is caused by proximity of other sensor or fingers to nearby to thé borders of thé screen.

As i already wrote somewhere on the thread. There is a difference between, "my phone is overheating" and "my phone gets hot while playing games, etc...". I have the same lags. You can test the speed of cpu, etc.. while you play games, and you will understand whats the problem. Phone is turning of cores, and underclocks the cpu to prevent overheating. That's why games start to lag after some time playing.

Even ten minutes is enough for a 10 core procesor, with two A72 clocked to 2.0ghz+. I'm not sure about the rom. I tried it on china stable which is much better than global stable except the bloatware, and it's the same. Maybe some optimization for the processor would be good. I had Xperia M4 Aqua, which has SD procesor, and had a lot of heating problems. But there, i could tweak by myself the cpu temp settings, and i would achive better and more perfomance on games with the price of more temperature of course, and yes i'm aware of the temperature affect on cpu life span. On MTK, unfortunately, i couldn't find such a files for tweaking the cpu temp, etc...
I use epic ROM..I don't have lag issues with this...I can play smoother such as asphalt 8 , nova, NBA etc...
I came from many Roms China stable and dev...global dev and stable and I knew how it was. Those stock roms were buggy....

Notice any difference regarding battery life? compared with stock china/global stable ROM.
I have the latest Global Beta and my phone is always stable and doesn't really heat up that much, i just spent like an hour and a half playing fifa mobile, talking via facebook messenger and listening to music on spoyify and everything was just fine !!

There is no difference between China and global regarding battery performance. Both consumed much battery even in deep sleep with at least 2% per hour.
I'm using Redmi Note 4 MTK 4GB+64GB with MIUI 8.2.1.0.
Please do not charge and play Mobile Legends at the same time.
That's based on my experience for the last 3 days using Redmi Note 4 MTK and MIUI 8.2.1.0 and playing Mobile Legends.
Phone will gets hot (too hot in my opinion), and the battery charge won't lasts, ends up it will decrease the battery even though you're charging it.
I'm using 2.1A Samsung charger.
With my S5 Cosmic OS ROM, I still can charge (increase in percentage), while playing Mobile Legends.
What I do is, charge my phone to a desirable level, maybe 80-90% (where the charging tends to get slower), then plug out and play Mobile Legends.
Your phone will get warm, but not hot, and performance would not deteriorated.
hi guyz regarding this problem... MTK chip suck so much it give me nightmare.. so i decided to sell the phone and buy xiomi mi max.. best solution ever..i even buy two mimax... its that good.. thank you all
