Here is what i found out.

Guide to fix the Active battery drain

Root the phone

install TB

Remember to have USB debug enable.

Freeze the Wifi sharing and Wifi sharing manager

else it also helped to disable GPS Wifi location and reboot

For batterydrain when the phone is inactive, try to remove some of the widgets. some can have geolocation or poll info often. From my old SGS1 i remember Beautyful widgets had problems with Geo location and drained all the battery in standby. Don´t rely on the battery info you see from the OS. There can be other programs draing the battery without it appears from the list.
[Galaxy S II General] Crysis21:
ON my SGS1, if I let it to charging, it gets hot like hell. with not doing anything else. Just charging and burning... and It's not the battery it gets hot, is the top part of the phone. This happened since day 1 so I got used to...
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
With/without charger, gps/no gps, phone gets sometimes VERY hot (around the camera section) for no "good" reason.

Quitting all apps and starting stuff again seems to fix it (and even heavy games don't make it get so hot anymore, for a few hours at least)

Not sure what causes that, it's a slight annoyance, because it does get that hot that you will get worried (for a good reason)
[Galaxy S II General] jianvi:

+3500 km in France

Hi

Just arrived from vacation in France driving +3500 km.

I used Copilot Live Premiere, IGO My Way, Google Navigator and a standard Sammy charger.

Here are my experience:

IGO My Way and Google Navigator didn't drain more than charger could keep up charging, and phone didn't get seriously hot if I keept screen brightness low.

Copilot Live Premiere used a LOT of battery and charger couldn't keep up. On one long trip phone died after 8 hours and I had to shut it down. Always VERY hot so I had lead cold air from my cars air condition in direction of the phone!

This kind of battery usage (generating heat) is unacceptable!

I had one shut down during drive using Copilot and it,s VERY buggy during initialization and when setting a new route (often hanging or minimizing).

Sometimes Copilot Contact list was empty and I had to reboot phone in order to Navigate using Copilot Contacts.

Listening to music during drive is impossible because Copilot take ownership over the sound system (?).

When all this is said ... Copilot Live Premiere was a pleasant experience and stable when driving. I think Copilot Live Premiere have potential to be a very good GPS application but it needs some serious bug fixes before I will give it 5 stars.
[Galaxy S II General] RavenY2K3:
Just thought i'd add my findings, I've been searching to see if other people had the same issue as me, where my SGS2 wouldn't charge when using it for navigation with CoPilot, it never really got hot as such, just the battery level never increased despite the amount of time it was on charge for.

I had a charger for the car that I had used with nearly all my other phones I have owned in the past (and you can see them in my sig). It had an output of 5v and 1amp, but just to rule out that this wasn't providing enough ampage, I bought a branded charger rated at 5v and 2.1 amps which is what is needed to charge an iPad, which it does sucessfully.

But even though the new charger has MORE than enough ponies to charge my SGS2, the result was still the same. So after some tinkering, the only way I could get this to charge whilst using it for navigation, was to set the maximum clock speed in SetCPU to 500MHz.

In this configuration, it charges whilst being used for navigation, as you would expect a device of this calibre should do in the first place.

I haven't tested CoPilot's (or Sygic's for that matter) performance with the CPU set to anything lower, but at this setting I cannot see any visible side affect, no slow response in routing, no lag when going through menu's etc, it works as you would expect and charges at a really decent rate too, probably the same as the normal wall charger.

This for me, is really important, as my job involves being on the road a lot and having a device that charges in sat nav use, is more important to me than having it run at full pelt.

Hopefully someone else will find this info handy.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
I had been thinking that lowering CPU would solve this charge problem, but as fare as I know phone have to be rooted in order to do so :(
[Galaxy S II General] cybern:
Mooock is right about its conclusions and besides that lowering the brightness will help.

On the other hand, it would seem that Samsung has some faulty units. Those should always be exchanged in the 15 days period for another one.

All that sayed its also true like others have pointed that a 1.2 dual core processor in a slick phone with proper venting can sometimes become very hot.

At last for the times the phone is charging, i can only think that Samsung was somewhat rushed to finish things up (due to the possible loss of market) without giving proper concern to that issue. They even admit in the manual that it can get hot...
[Galaxy S II General] mooock:
I now heard that one of my friends have the issue. And the weird part is we both have updated to Darky Rom KG6. but i don´t have the problem. but he has. And i think we almost have the same apps installed. But with this upgrade i made a Factory default, and clear of cache and battery.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
was the phone mounted?

I used it on a road trip few weeks ago as mentioned in the below thread. It didn't get hot not once but as mentioned it was sitting the cup holder most of the time

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1175528
[Galaxy S II General] mesmerizer:
me too

Those people who say the problem is with a USB might not be your issue. See, I am having the same effect on my GS2. And I am not running on USB power, just battery. After 30 minutes, it is hot to the extent that placing the back of the phone on that place on arm right behind the wrist on the underside, almost causes a 1st degree burn. Or at least it seems like it. And even on standby, in my pocket at the store, I felt it burn and then recollected I had failed to turn off my GPS receiver. So, I wonder if my unit is broken, and I should be telling my 3rd party retailer (go4computers).
[Galaxy S II General] MrPhilo:
For people who are having heat problem while just doing basic surfing or even gaming should change there modem.

I have noticed while I was on KH3 Modem everything was quite cold, I played Dungeon Defenders on 1Ghz and it wasn't hot but warm (for over a hour). After flashing KI1 modem, dam the phone gets hot by just normal browsing, after flashing all the K1's Modem it didn't make a difference.

Download KH3 and KG5. Battery life is also superb on both and you'll see less heat. Trust me, it doesn't hurt to try.

Theres a modem thread on Android Dev (not Original) with CWM flashable, so its easy to change back if it doesn't work for you, but its alot more colder on KH3..
[Galaxy S II General] landwomble:
Interesting. I've justvflashed back from KI3 to KH3 as my battery life is better, but it doesn't appear to get red hot anymore either..
[Galaxy S II General] MrPhilo:
All the KI's Modem for some reason brings in more heat.

For my experience KH3 and KG5 is the best (I tested pretty much all KG,KH and KI's).

[Off-topic] Simon_WM:
it might be a PS2/PS3 controller, but i have to say it looks kinda cool,
[Off-topic] OmegaRED^:
LOL.

thanx.

It was cheap to make.

Go look what a gamepad and a WiiController costs.

If you have a glue gun and a soldering iron.

you have 90% of what you need.

:)

The one in the guide i am making will have dual analogue.

Look around 2nd hand shops and bargain bins.
[Off-topic] Terrold:
I wolff like to see a guide as well
[Off-topic] OmegaRED^:
It's not hard to do.

Basic guide for now.

1. Make sure you get a gamepad with a pc board inside that you can easily solder onto.

2. Then cut the tracks a few mm after the connection point for the buttons.

3. lightly scrape the track to reveal the copper so you can clean solder on it.

4. solder wires in place from each 2 button tracks "make sure the don't obstruct the buttons"

"use thin resin core solder wire and a fine tip low wattage soldering iron"

5. solder the wires on the button connection points on the Wii mote.

6. remove the PC board from the nun chuck "cut the wires and make it just long enough to reach the holes for the analog stick.

fit it properly into the hole. "use a fair amount of hot glue to secure it in place"

Reassemble and secure everything with hot glue.

Good luck.

I have noticed recently that my battery reading has become very inaccurate. For example, it would be on 55% for a long time, which I would find strange and then I would restart the phone and it would be at 35%. I tried charging it last night to 100% and then going into the DAS Bamf Toolkit and resetting the battery indicator in Troubleshooting and while I am letting it drain, it still is giving inaccurate readings. I turned on and used my phone's GPS last night (which worked quite well, was very impressed), and I noticed it after that.

I have the extended battery with a rooted phone running on DAS Bamf Remix 1.6.3 ROM.

Other phone information that may prove useful:

The camera on the phone is making a noise as if it is opening and shutting, and the picture on the phone is blinking on and off. To top it off, the apps start to freeze when this happens, which makes me think that the app is having problems initializing the camera, and it may not be just an app issue. It also has the same problem with the front camera, so both back and front are doing the same thing.

I have never testet ADB. But if it will let me replace the files without having to wipe my phone I will take a look at it.

So if my phone is in debugging mode before I replace the system files I can connect using odin and flash the original stock rom again and everything will be back to normal? Not sure, but I think I read somewhere that by flashing with stock rom it wont affect the files in the system folder. I guess thats wrong since there are many files in the system folder that are changed during an update.

If I choose to re-flash, will my phone be wiped then, or will my programs and settings till be in place?
