Hello,
I have bought this phone a week ago. During the first charging itself I noticed a heating, but I thought it will be okay.. but still the issue persists. Can anyone share your battery temperature and thermals of the phone during normal 3g internet browsing and charging. I'm desperate because I have never heard anyone complaining about heating issue in this phone.
Please help.
Also please share your battery usage status with 3g internet.
I am attaching the temp info jus after using 3g for about 30 minutes.
Why wouldnt anyone reply ? Please share the temperature details of your phone during normal 3g internet surfing and gaming. Please help
Hey there. Are you still using this phone? I bought this phone 3 weeks ago, used it lightly, mostly for Whatsapp, internet browsing, Facebook & Games(only 2 times I played a racing game for around 20 minutes).
So far I have the heating problem issue. When I used whatsapp to chat for around 10 minutes, the temperature rises up from a normal 32 degrees to 36 degrees normally. And when I use browser for Facebook and reading forums, it goes up to 38 if 10 mins to 20 mins. It warms up fairly quickly and get heated up if so long. I use Ampere to measure my temperature.
Have you found the solution to this? I'm thinking of sending my phone to service by Huawei..
here are my temperature information right after charging. I'll add one soon during charging...
Thanks. I just downloaded the CPU-Z app, I checked my battery info, it's still 32 degrees when not really in used. I'll give an update when I'm browsing or playing with the phone. Can you check your battery temperature as well?

Hi guys!
Just got my SII yesterday. After couple of hours use I admit that the phone becomes hot even on normal usage, like downloading apps etc. The back of the screen as well as the screen itself slowly becomes hot. If i continue to use the phone it gets worse! I'm really confused n kind of scared. I've a iphone 3gs which rarely became hot. So, can u guys please tell me if its normal with SII or its just my unit that's got some problem?
Oh, sorry if its a duplicate thread. I've seen in different websites people saying it become hot when playing games. In my case since I had my phone I didn't even install a game yet! What I did is installed couple of apps, widgets and I use mspot to sync my music(446MB) over internet.
Any suggestions and advices appreciated!
It's normal that it gets hot when you use it
You have to remember that it's a dual core 1.2 ghz proc... and Yes it's normal..
Thanks for the replies. What concerns me most is the screen becoming hot and that I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this. How about u?

a part of the issue is it is a 1 GHz CPU overclocked to 1.2 GHz, so whenever your activity demands 100% of CPU, it gets sped up to 1.2GHz and gets hotter than needed.
But yes, excessive heating is not a defect, the phone is just too thin and tightly packed to dissipate heat effectively.
Actually, i dont think it's normal
The processor sometime get stuck at 1.2GHz in my device
whenever ur phone get too hot, go and check SetCPU, if the phone dosent get below 1.2 when idle, then reboot
My guess it's a kernal thing
Not normal. Mine doesn't get hot even when gaming. It used to get hot before I updated the firmware. Now it does not.

how can it be normal when the battery doesn't get warm at all while top screen and camera lens is hot like hell, and yes i mean hot like hell. so far no firmware has fixed this problem.

I had the same issue, it dissapeared after I flashed to KE7
Thanks for the replies.
Well, it seems yesterday my phone was warming up even in normal usage but now after using the phone for over 4hrs(after full charge) and a lot of usage(videos: 60-75mins, downloading apps, music: 40-50mins, little web browsing & checking fb & mail and sync & wifi always on.....) temperature is around 30 deg celsius.
Next thing giving me trouble is the capacitive menu button which wasn't working at all since yesterday(back button was ok). Last night, sometimes it worked for a few seconds and dead again. I was thinking I should call O2 for a replacement, suddenly its working again today! Guess its a software problem.
Another thing I'm concerned about is the battery life. After charging it to 100% and after the above mentioned usage the battery level is bellow 40% after only 4hrs. Well, brightness was 0% most of the time which is ok for indoor use. Its quite funny that the phone doesn't seem to discharge faster when playing videos(at youtube & vevo) compared to browsing web. In the review & battery tests at gsmarena they mentioned battery life is very good and can last almost a day with heavy usage. What u guys r experiencing? Is it similar to mine or mine has got a faulty battery.
which firmware are you running?
I'm on O2 as u r. So I guess its the same one. If not, mine's build number is ....XWKE2, baseband: I9100XXKDJ
NB: I'm using the stock firmware, didn't root and didn't use any optimisation app like juicedefender. And display brightness is on 0%, always on wifi.
KE2 is a little buggy, you try updating to latest firmware build KE7, might solve your problem.
you can do it if you connect your phone to your pc and run kies, or reading in the dev section of the forums there is a sticky there that informs you how to upgrade firmwares.
Thanks for the reply.
I use mac and the kies mac is in beta and won't let me upgrade(option disabled). I've tried the windows version of kies(downloaded directly from samsung portal) via paralles desktop for mac(lets u use windows app in mac) but it say mine is the latest version(ke2).
And the capacitive menu button is dead again! Is it possible that this is just a software problem? Or should I contact O2 for a replacement? Its my 3rd day with the phone so I've to report ASAP if i need a replacement.
The battery also feels faulty to me. It turned from 100%-1% with only 8hr of usage as follows:
videos: ~75mins(mostly HD),
downloading several apps apps,
music: 50+mins,
little web browsing,
checking fb, rss feed & mail,
sync & wifi always on,
brightness most of the time at 0%,
fring chat: 50-60 mins
And it took 3hrs to completely charge it up. Is it normal for you guys? Or should I request for a replacement? Any suggestions appreciated!
i have debranded my phone from O2 and upgraded to KE7 from kies, but if you cant do it that way you can try upgrading thru odin.

This thread has multiple firmware versions and instructions on how to flash your phone (please note, if you decide to flash your phone, you do so at your own risk, even thuo the risk is quite small).
As for battery usage, i have rooted my phone and frozen a lot of bloatware, if i leave the phone on standby with wifi off the battery drains lest than 1% each hour, with wifi on its about 2% each hour.
Also i find that when i play angry bird a lot i have to recharge after about 6-7 hours, when i watch videos my phone heats up a little, it heats up a lot if i watch videos while charging.
hope that helps you, if not talk to the ppl at O2 to see if you can get it swapped out, but i think if you can get your firmware upgraded your battery drain should reduce and the shouldn't heat up as much.
Thank u very much for the replies. It looks like battery draining is normal for all SGS II users. Its kinda funny that playing videos over internet eats less power that browsing web(27.19min of HD video playing at vevo over wifi drained only 5% of battery!).
So now everything seem ok except the capacitive touch keys which sometimes which doesn't work most of the time. I'm just scared to use custom roms as it might void my warranty. Well, I'll try the link u mentioned and see if the problem still exists.
Thanks again
Hello guys, I have a P768 L9 (JB, rooted and bootloader unlocked) about 3 months and in the last three weeks he presented a strange behavior. It all started after a day it overheated, the battery reached 0% and hung. After that I started to pay attention to battery consumption and realized I was different. Consumption was approximately 10% per hour with no use in standby and all connections closed. I made hard resets, I started testing with other roms, even tested with Pacman (yes, the camera did not work), yet consumption remained high. Configured the fastdormancy and changed nothing. After that I went back to the original rom and started testing, installed juice defender and the consumption decreased to about 6% per hour, which I still think is a lot of battery. The BBS does not indicate anything that may be the cause of it, and Battery Drain Analyzer says the culprit is IDLE and Radio. I can not understand because also tested in airplane mode.
I made some screenshots (link below) and hope someone can help me, please!

I've already tested with another battery and the problem persists, the battery indicator seems a countdown like as before...
and worst of all is that I have no warranty because I bought my L9 in another country... sad guy
no data connection
Hi ;D
Where do you live / how good is your data connection, because it seems, that in your area there is none... And searching for data connetion may drain battery fast...

Thanks for trying to help, I live in Brazil, in the southern region, and have a good connection all the time and most of the time I leave the connections closed ... as I said, I tested also in airplane mode and the problem persists = /
I have a Galaxy SIII mini and the battery lasts two days away from the charger with the same use during the day ..
I have no idea what can be, love my L9 and I'm losing hope
people, no one is going through this? nobody knows what to do?
browsing the internet i find many android phones with this problem, but the solutions are specific to each model and never work for me
Hello everyone!
My device is facing strange problem, I know it is normal behavior among smart devices to get hot by intense CPU load. But it normally happens when CPU usage is intense like graphic intense gaming and constant browsing/downloading.
I am using 2G/EDGE Telenor Network in Pakistan and even chatting with friends on different apps causing this problem after using the mobile more than 5 minutes it starts getting pretty hot and battery drain too very fast ( same as using graphic intense games for 5 minutes). On the other hand, when I use the same apps on wifi network mobile don't get hot that quick.
I have even changed different firmwares available to our region. But my problem is not getting solved. Can someone please tell me what can be causing this strange problem?
PS: Sorry for the bad English, I hope everyone understood my point. If not you can ask questions

Have you rooted and changed the governor? I know this is probably not the issue but I can relate somehow. My phone got very hot very quickly while on pegasusq for some reason. If not, I cant think why it would get hot. 2g/edge is supposed to be less cpu intensive than the alternatives.
Are you sure its the cpu? have you tested it by taking out the battery when the phone gets hot, and feeling if the battery is? if its not the battery, the bottom part of the phone will feel hot, then it is the cpu.

I don't think that battery is faulty. The phone gets hot only when I am on EDGE data connection. Other than that, the phone battery is doing pretty good when I am using wifi and it will go for more than a day or so.

No, I am not rooted, using pure stock firmware (I9300XXEMF6) and obviously using stock kernel. Yes, I am pretty sure its CPU because phone gets hot from bottom part (front and back) got hot when this happens. And if I constantly use EDGE for like half hour, the phone gets super hot then I have to put down the phone and lock the screen for 5 minutes then it starts doing well.
The problem only happens when data transfer is being in process when modem is receiving and sending signals. If I just enabled the EDGE data connection and don't use Internet then the phone don't get hot.
It looks more of a network problem, I have read the blog post about fast dormancy. I think this network problem has something to do with fast dormancy.

Thanks but with all due respect, I am not new to smart devices and my previous phones didn't get hot on EDGE connection that quick (in like 5 minutes) on same area and same geographic region. I am facing this problem specifically on S3. Network sim signals are also doing fine (full signals). Now, I have left with only this option to disable the fast dormancy.

Just bought my z2 yesterday my phone cpu temperature is always 55 some time go to 60
I think battery drain fast to i lost 4% in 10 min and battery temperature is 38 Dunno where is the problem i hope some one help and sry for my bad english
Phone running on lollipop and no apps running just screen and data on
My Z2 only starts overheating when I play Hitman Go, or while watching videos while the phone is charging.
Try leaving the phone on stamina mode. Also your phone could be struggling to find data towers hence the extra power Drain.
Try downloading watchdog lite and see what is abusing your cpu. In my case it was Facebook messenger. It got my phone to 67 degrees Celsius and used around 50% of cpu just by running in background
Sent from my D6503
the Z2 has been noted to have a hardware issue that causes overheating
it lacks a heat sink and a heat basin where as newer xperias have this
sony has improved the temperature throttling in lolipop

I kept managing to hit 65-70 by doing next to nothing. Quashed Google now wakelocks and turned some of its features off. Now hitting 55 max. Try that. I'm on KK by the way.

I also noticed that on 4.4.2 I got crazy overheating issues but the second I updated to 4.4.4 and higher they went away.
I'm not really sure if Android version changed anything for me... Basically, when traveling (brightness around 70%, listening to music and using LTE with poor signal I get ~43°C on battery). Another example... Streaming internet radio over LTE for longer periods of time = frying pan. So, when I don't really need LTE I use 3G and it's about half the usual temp. I would get... But as I said, it depends on signal strength... About CPU/GPU... Well, let's say that the recent discussions about 810 overheating make me smile
I recently charged my phone overnight and suddenly the battery has gotten worse. I thought it was an error with the ROM possibly so I updated it and to no avail. On Ampere the battery health is good but the actual speed of charging fluctuates from 10ma to 1830ma (but it also peaked at 4880 so take that with a grain of salt). The battery has also been lasting a lot less than before. I'm running the default Global ROM. Any help is appreciated as currently I'm charging it fully to try and calibrate it.

seemingly rooting & deleting battery data file is the only solution. I'm hoping to recalubrate it naturally by totally discharging & recharging it to 100 upon normal usage don't know if it'll harm my battery though :/

Did that work for you? After 8 hours of charging I'm finally at 100 and hopefully it'll be good when I fully empty it and then charge it again

It is giving a little progress. But don't go discharging your battery down to 0%. It might harm your battery.

Does your phone charge quickly again? I'm following a guide I found on Android Pit and I hope it helps.
yeah I've noticed bad battery on last 2 updates, 7.3.6 and 7.3.7 global rom. Looking in installed apps, runing, I can lots of processes stuck on restarting all the time.
My battery was actually charging normally but the max amount of usage was like 4 to 5 hours SOT and in normal use one day and a half... This happened to me after flashing CM13, though i don't charge the developer for this "Problem" as it might not be the dev's fault but mine...

well it's my wife's phone and she says charging was still fine, but i wouldn't completely trust that.
but anyway, i think i jumped the gun on saying the problem was in 7.3.7 as well, as today's testing seems to show is back to something like normal again.. but I'm still going to keep an eye on it over the next few days
