Hello all,
I've been experimenting with custom roms lately. First I tried resurrection since it got lotsa attention and then I tried sensation, all causing the same problem.
I was lucky to have a NAND backup so I quickly went back to my stock rom. But now I am wondering why are these roms causing heating problems but not the stock rom? Interestingly, many people are using them without any complaints.
I thought this might be a problem with my phone. I contacted amazon and asked for a replacement, they were nice to replace the product even after 3 months! (kudos to them).
But now I'm wondering if this will solve my problem. Moreover, I sometimes had heating while charging the phone, bolstering my thesis that the phone is faulty. Any ideas anyone?
you returned your phone for no reason!
If it works fine on stock, phone is fine.
Learn how to use custom roms, read how to flash each Rom in their thread.
Basically, modem and kernel are related to heat. Plus one needs to wipe his/her phone completely at least once before going to custom.

Lol calm down! I've not returned it, I am going to replace it. I've had heating problems with stock rom as well, especially while charging. I've changed the battery, thinking the problem was the battery but it didn't help at all. Also today, after being back to stock rom, it still heats up even with simple tasks. So I assume there is some kind of fault.
It's normal for your phone to heat up. If it heats up its perfectly normal because the cores are working fine. If u got battery heating warnings or any other phone heating warning thats the problem and you should investigate =D
Hi guys,
Not sure what could be the issue. I'm quite a veteran when it comes to troubleshooting these phones and flashing, etc. I've been a power user since the S1 and S2.
I flashed CM9 a few weeks ago, one of the stables and it was all running fine. One day I picked up the phone after charging overnight and it was really hot, the battery drained in about an hour or so, the whole time it was extremely hot.
I flashed a few other CM roms, which didn't fix much, tried full wipes and everything.
I've now gone back to an original samsung rom which I flashed via odin. This seems to have fixed the overheating issue, however, my battery barely lasts more than 3 hours on full charge and this is with absolutely minimal use (few phone calls).
WiFI is also extremely unstable. It takes a while to connect to any network, and when it does, it'll drop after a few minutes. I've tried different networks.
Scanning for WIFI networks works fine, so does this rule out a faulty WIFI chip?
I'm thinking the battery drain may be related to the WIFI card.
I've also tried a new battery.
Any suggestions, or is the phone fried?
A number of posts saying the same .

No, to get up your hopes, the phone isn't dead, yet.
Try flahsing a ROM, other than CM. I have the same problem, with AOSP, that's why I stick to sammy based ROMs, AOSP is made for the device, but Google only tunes it up to their standards, when it has something to do with their Nexus devices.
I'd say: Try a different ROM, don't overclock it. If that doesn't work, flash stock and then try it. One of the two should work, though!
I've gone back to a stock Samsung 4.0.1 rom. Flahed using odin, yet still the same issue with battery life and WIFI.
I've heard somewhere that flashing CM9 can cause WIFI issues, and there's a specific flash procedure to get it working normal again?

There is no 4.0.1 for the S3. I'm just sayin'.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
My bad, I mean whichever came with the phone.
Hi. I'm having a big problem with my Galaxy SII GT-I9100. It works normally till the battery percentage gets 40%. After that the phone starts to slow down, screen starts blinking, signal gets lost and at last it turns off. All these happen in a few seconds' time. These are what I did:
1.Changed battery 2 times
2.Calibrated battery with 3-4 apps from play market
3.Wiped everything that's possible. Tried using NeatROM, Revolution , Carbon roms.
4.Took phone to master and realized that he knows less than me.
After all these procedures anything has changed. Please help me solving this problem.
Back to stock to test, still problems ? Replace USB board/port; KeithRoss39 has a guide in General that has all the info you need in order to easily do this yourself (it's not stickied, search for 'replace USB charger board' or similar).
My battery was like that, but I did not have any other problem except battery drain when battery reaches %35, %40. It was draining very fast compared to %80 or %70. First, I bought a fake oem battery, but I thought it was original, seller deceived me, it was worse than dead original battery. Than I bought a real original one and problem is solved. Be careful about those oem ones.

Hello,
In order to exactly help you, I advise you to post your currently used firmware (stock Samsung Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellybean), or if you're using custom OS (CyanogenMod, SlimRom, CyanFox, OmniRom... etc) but anyway, I'll try and help as much as possible. When I had my phone upgraded to stock 4.1.2, I had smooth performance and good battery life. However, after a while, the OS becomes laggy and I get a lot of overheating when the phone should simply go to deepsleep. Simply, I realized that the battery wasn't the problem, but rather, Samsung's TouchWiz was causing the problem. Having owned my phone for a year and 6 months, I get terrific battery life yet through using DorimanX Kernel which can customize your hardware settings to match your kind of usage. Using official SlimKat 3.0 Stable on Dorimanx 10.43v88, I can ger up to 4 days of battery with slight usage even when using Android Run-time. I would rather change the phone's OS instead of buying batteries in your case since changing the stock battery is only optimal in case the battery is bloated (becomes swelled/thickens in the middle). Good luck

I'm currently using Revolution ROM UX 2014 Build 2 Android 4.1.2. It has touchwiz interface, but I've also used Carbon Android 4.3 ROM which had this problem too. I don't believe Dorimanx kernel will fix this problem, but if you're sure about it, I can try.

It took me 5 months to realize that. After 3 months battery was not performing well at all and I understood that something is wrong with the battery. I looked very close to it, but it was still seeming like a original one. I put the original one and the fake one side to side, and I saw the difference. There are some small differences. You have to realize by yourself, because there are a lot of fake batteries.

If you're not sure on how to configure your CPU settings in STweaks, you wouldn't realize any difference, but I can help you with that. One day, I was an ordinary Android user on stock 4.0.4 and rooted my device just to get a game work better using a custom kernel (Siyah btw), and when I realized I could tweak CPU clock speeds and edit some values, I realized that Sammy ROMs are too crappy. At the end, that's what power saving option does,limits your CPU clock speed but still not too cool Anyway, no harm in grabbing a kernel and flashing but after reading your post again, it seems your battery is "hard-luck" one, better buy a new one if you really are facing issues unrelated to software
Hi! I've been reading this forum on and off for few years, but never actually posted. Hope someone here can help me sort out my issue, thanks in advance!
Basically, I've flashed a cm13 via custom recovery on my second phone - Xiaomi Mi4, and I'm having all sorts of issues with it. I bought the phone in China, and for a while
used the stock MIUI interface, but I hated all the bloated apps and weird pop-up advertising, so decided to flash. it was the first time i've attempted it, so it took some
time to figure it out
My two main issues with cm13:
1. It crashes and restarts two/three times daily for me. I mean, I've cleared cache, I basically have no apps on the phone (apart from few messaging apps and facebook).
Is it just because it's an early cm13 build, or it's a nature of custom roms? I'm wondering if switching to a snapshot cm12 build would be better? I don't really care for
android 6 features on this phone that much, I just want a stable experience.
2. The charging became uber slow, painfully so. On MIUI it'd charge to 100% in about 3 hours or so. On cm13 it takes 3-4 hours to get to 30-40%! Never seen anything like
this. Also, if the battery depletes to 0%, the phone wouldn't turn on, even plugged in for charging. It'd turn on after an hour or two into the charging process. Seems weird,
as every other android phone I've owned previously would turn on even with 0% battery if I'm plugged in.
Anyone else experience any of the listed issues? Is it just an early build, or I've done something wrong in the flashing process? I really just want a stable simple os, no advanced
features or whatever, just need it to work
Thanks!
I have been using latest nightly.. No issues no reboot.. Charging time is 3hr

Thanks for reply! Would you mind telling me which gaps you've used for your build? I remember I had some sort of an issue with few gaps
I tried, I think only the smallest package worked for me. Maybe that's the issue and something in the gaps i've installed freezing/rebooting my os?
Thanks
Hi All knowledgeable folks / @linusdan
Ok, so I've tried to re-build my dad's S2 (i9100P) which he has had for a couple of years. All appeared ok at first, although suffering battery drain recently... He tried a couple of batteries, as he has about 2 or 3 batteries lying around (as they are so cheap). Neither seemed to make much difference, so I said I would wipe the phone and start again. Whilst switching in and out of Recoveries, I noticed the battery go from like 93% to 80% to 60% to 20% to 13% in a very very short time. Equally strange when it was at its lowest, 13% and leaving it charging for a few minutes... say around 15 minutes, it then jumps up to like 70%.
So I switch the battery over for another one. I have a little play around with the phone, thought I'd try a new Android 9 / PIE rom and use Emulated Storage. However I thought this rom, as amazing as it is... would not be for my dad. I tried a couple of others out, and dropped him down to a Android 6 / Marshmallow rom. Purely based on speed, lean and fairly decent battery usage. I took the phone to the pub, played around and all seemed good. Stable, no crashing, but due to playing around... Thought I'd flash it again, and start a fresh.
However now...
Straight after flashing the rom, it will constantly reboot at the login screen. If I unlock the phone, then things like the default Launcher will crash, as will Google Music, Settings and File Manager. So I tried another rom, Nougat and Lollipop, and they both randomly crash too...
So I hooked it up to Odin, and used the STOCK partition (PIT) file and STOCK rom (Orange UK 4.1.2) and returned it back to FACTORY settings. Now all seems good again, battery seems to last a long time and had ZERO crashing since back to stock. However, so that he can use a Smartwatch I got him, he needs a minimum of KitKat on the phone....
However, why do you think the phone will be constantly crashing now ?? Has something died inside, and what could of died?? Why is it stable on stock and not on custom roms?? It used to be fine on customs before hand...?? Any idea's??
Model: i9100P
ROM: Resurrection Remix LP, MM, N, O... and Pixel PIE. Currently back to Resurrection Remix MM.
Partition: RePit, 2GB System, 6GB Data, rest to SDCard
Batteries: Tried a couple of batteries, still got a couple more could tried... all supposedly genuine...
Cheers, Lister
