Try to do factory reset

And wipe cache and dalvik

And take ur battery off for 4 minuets

Then recharge it fully then take it off for 4 minuets

Then lets it drains see if it helps

Press thanks if this helped u :)
[Galaxy S II General] manubar:
Hey man, thanks, i'll press the button just for trying ;)

I haven't tried it yet cuz I've been away from the computer lately. Once I'll try it i'll post the results.

Addicional info...battery is draining like an old lady with incontinence. It goes from 100% to 40% in just 6 hours with very little use.

So I'm still open to suggestions! Thanks guys

Two instances where I got my S2 to more than 60°C. First time, I inadvertently left the flash on, and it was charging. About 20 minutes later, found that the temp was 64°C! Another time I just left it charging, but hid the phone under my pillow. 20 minutes later, the phone shoot up to 60°C!

So, try to keep your phone in the open when charging, the environment should be able to cool to a respectable temp. Btw, my phone is still working as it should be.

Just sharing my experiences.

[Galaxy S II General] EH15:
I had my phone since August and was pretty much on 2.3.4 KH3 all the way till now. Recently my phone has gotten warm/hot very easily. It idles at around 27-29C and spikes up to 36C within minutes of having the screen on. It doesn't matter what applications I'm in, it'll always jump to 36C. More intensive applications make the phone rise to the 40Cs. I've had the phone for 10 months now so I can definitely tell something's off. I tried restoring the phone to a backup I made a month ago (when I did not have these issues) and it did not fix anything.

It's the area right under the camera that's heating up. The metal casing that holds the sim card gets especially hot. The screen gets warm as well and it's one reason why it's been so noticeable. My screen never got warm unless I had it on for at least 20+ minutes or I was in a long call. Another thing of note: the area near the bottom left corner of the camera (above the SD card slot) creaks when I apply any pressure. This also never happened before.

Does this sound more like a hardware issue? I just flashed LPF and the issue is still happening. By the time it was done flashing and the phone booted up, it was already hot. I quickly check the temperature and it was already 37C.
[Galaxy S II General] ayhamx360:
Same here man

I tried so manny roms

All the same

My phone in idle 27-29

When i use it for 3 min it goes up to 31-36

Always like that in normal usage

I really hate the over heat on galaxy s2 alot ! I think im going to swich for galaxy s3 after three months if users didnt experience over heating
[Galaxy S II General] EH15:
Have you always had it like this though? For me, it was never like this until this month. That leads me to believe my situation might be a hardware issue.
[Galaxy S II General] bahman123:
also run into this problem when I play games - phone gets very hot

besides draining battery much quicker (and in effect killing the battery faster) - is this bad for the phone?

Otherwise means, you can't play games for long periods on this phone!
[Galaxy S II General] ayhamx360:
Man ur phone is this the same as 10 months ago

But 10 months ago i guess the weather was cold thats why u didnt feel the over heat

But now its summer so ur feeling the device over heating

For me 4 months ago i didnt feel any thing cuz the weather was winter and its cold so my device didnt over heat

The last month i started feeling overheating cuz the weather got hot

I guess its the same for u ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Waza.:
have you tried a different modem on your rom, i was getting overheating problems til i changed modems.
[Galaxy S II General] ayhamx360:
Iv tried two modems

The same thing

But i think kh3 modem was little less

What modem did u try ?
[Galaxy S II General] EH15:
I highly doubt it cause in my case, the difference is significant. I got the phone in August last year, where it's the hottest time of the year and I never noticed this. And besides, I have my AC on right now so it's not like my house is warmer. I'm still under warranty at least.
[Galaxy S II General] manubar:
Please people, don't fool yourselves trying to blame it on the temperature outside... What's happening to these phones is not normal and there should be massive complaints at samsung for this!

Idle - 28ºc

in use - 36ºc

in games - 46ºc

charging on - 55ºc

battery time in regular use - drains in 8 hours

this isn't normal.

it's not the weather.

If anyone has a really good idea on how it can be a software problem, please, please let us know what you've tried and done. Step by step, if it's not asking much.

If anyone thinks it's an hardware issue and it should be sent back to samsung, please tell us so, too.
[Galaxy S II General] catalin_wolf3d:
10 months ago it was summer... just sayn

Have you charged it with an aftermarket charger or a car charger.
[Galaxy S II General] ayhamx360:
No i didnt
[Galaxy S II General] 1nvicta:
When i play a lot of games mine get hot too, and sometimes when i charging it
[Galaxy S II General] gavinch:
Its really a burning issue Samsung should really look into it ;)
[Galaxy S II General] manubar:
back to normal

Hello guys

I did a hard reset on it (wipe cache, wipe dalvik, reset to factory whatever you wnat to call it) and the battery draining problem stopped. It's lasting as long as it ever did again, no problem at all. It's still warming up in heavy work with wi-fi, video streamig, full brightness all together but nothing to significant.

So, if you had the same problem that i had, it's probably software related and not hardware.

Thank you all for your help
[Galaxy S II General] americoz:
This is completely normal.;)

First of all, have to check if it is software problem. Doing a backup and then a full wiping could answer the first question.

regards
[Galaxy S II General] simtacts:
Normal,

or you can change to other ROM :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] ayhamx360:
Even changing the rom doesnt help

I changed my rom like 18 times

It does not help maybe helps a little

But still the device on normal usage gets from 30-36

And on idle 27

Gamimg 40+
[Galaxy S II General] americoz:
What kernel are you using?
[Galaxy S II General] _Zabuza_:
Overheating happen mostly when u flash something. I have this issues too. The cpu is usally at max freq and causes overheating. What i do after flashing is always check if cpu is functioning good i. e. min and max feq. with cpu spy. If not usally a simple reboot fixes the issue.
[Galaxy S II General] :
It's not only a samsung thing, if you go through e.g. HTC One S, Xperia S general sections you'll find exactly the same issues.

Anyway, after last update (XWLPG) my battery lasts 2 days( and 3h 8 min screen on).

idle - 21-22 centigrades (no deep sleep issues at all)

Last time my phone got really hot (temp over 50 degrees) was after flashing last CM7 nigtly. I was restoring apps via WiFi and charging battery att the same time. Damn it was hot. It's been always warm but never that hot. Another time, I was restoring backup (from recovery menu, which means no automatic reboot :) ) and just left device with charger plugged in. You can imagine my surprise when I came back after 20 minutes ;)
[Galaxy S II General] One1Two2:
Hot for no reason

My wife's phone is cooking after just charging overnight. No gaming no GPS. Seems way to hot for no use and just sitting on the desk. Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S II General] :
I would try different roms, kernels. If no difference (and i'm afraid it will be the case here) then service.
[Galaxy S II General] illmatic24:
"Angry Birth"?! What kind of twisted game is that??

Regarding the original topic, yes mine gets hot right under the camera sensor sometimes too, I believe that's where the processor is located but usually only happens when I'm doing something processor intensive such as gaming.
[Galaxy S II General] happymonk:
My suggestion is to flash custom kernel and lower the maximum CPU frequency. I flashed Siyah kernel 3.3.2 to my stock ICS ROM 4.0.3 LP9 (rooted) and lower my maximum frequency to 800MHz and set my minimum frequency to 100MHz. It does decrease the heat generated while maintaining the usability of the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Nick Fury:
My phone gets way too hot for my liking to be honest. I mean i only need to be on the internet or fb or emails for just 5 mins and its burning my hand lo. Weird thing thiugh is when i pull the battery out it isnt hot and nir is my sid card or card holder. But only in the screen and the camera.

I heard there was a fix for the international version of s2 phone but mine in the uk doesnt seem to have one.

Was wondering if there is anything to help this lol.

I never use screen at full brightness. Never have gps running or wifi either.

Never leave apps running in background also clear from task manager.
[Galaxy S II General] ArmorD:
Flash modem KH3. It makes a huge difference.

Sent from my wallet
[Galaxy S II General] fluidz:
I wish i could agree with you. Flashing that modem made no difference to my temps whatsoever using 4.03 neat lite rom.
[Galaxy S II General] mightyillidan:
^ exactly at using neat rom and almost whetever i flash there is no way it gets allot hot and i think its an ics bug

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

no change also
[Galaxy S II General] usandthem1973:
Maybe it's something normal. All the android devices that I've used get hot, some more than others, mostly when you overclock.

But the design of the processor itself also matters, I've read that Qualcomm cpu's are better at keeping the temperature safe.
[Galaxy S II General] paulfrankie:
Has anyone done any permanent damage to their phone due to overheating?
[Galaxy S II General] r3vo:
Nope, no damage (got up to 57°c). It's just annoying...
[Galaxy S II General] Bayangan:
My phone using ICS stock is working fine.

But now I got those "burning" experience after I use CM10 JB.

The only time it was hot is during the first 30 mins after boot up. After that it goes back to cool (normal temp), but during the burning time it drains the battery like 15-20% even its just doing nothing (I'm not using the phone at all). And the heat makes it quite impossible to use the phone because too hot for the ear.

I have tried multiple ROM (Slim, CM10, Ressurection) all giving the same heat on boot up.

I'm using the Baseband DXLP7 and gonna try flash to LQ6 soon.

I hope this can fix... But according to the battery history usage, OS is eating like 47% of the usage instead the GSM radio... (makes me think more before flashing to LQ6)...
[Galaxy S II General] Kyuuba:
Mine gets very, very hot when playing games, specially Dead Trigger from Madfinger games.

I don't know if this Siyah-Dorimanx kernel ver. 8.14 throttles the cpu when it gets hot as i can't ask for that info in the Dev thread but aparently, the phone runs fine at that high temp.

Sometimes, my fingers on my left hand hurts when it happens and i wonder why it gets that hot since i set the Max OC frequency on the Stweak app to 1.6 Ghz.
[Galaxy S II General] Mcjim113:
I think the heat up and battery drain you're experiencing is more to do with the media scanner, the more you have on the SD card the longer it takes to run on boot up. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. :)
[Galaxy S II General] genesis0403:
heating is normal. sometimes changing kernel can make it a bit better
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j0an:
I Have a wifi at work, and i was able to connect to it but in order to surf the web the IE is set using an automatic configuration script, is there a way to configure my android to connect to this network.:confused::confused::confused::confused:

I have a nexus one with rodriguez MIUI installed.:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] doktornotor:
With MIUI, should be already included, probably you need to dig deeper into network configuration. Or just use something like TransProxy.

(Note: either way, you need to set the proxy address and port manually, the WPAD javascript autoconfiguration thing certainly will not work.)

Thanks man. Is there a way of getting the proxy address and port knowing the ac script

[General Questions and Answers] xXVaLiiXx:
I would still need an answer!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Staticpunk84:
Ok if anyone can help me out on this. I would like to put a list of things you Need to do AFTER rooting your Inspire. Long story short I looked around countless of thread and find bits of pieces of things to do after your root.

Just would like to start something where this is a list to what you need to do after your done. So if ANYONE can help me out and may help others out with just the same ?s. This would be awesome. I know there are somethings like Titanium back up, ROM Manager, ClockWork. But if anyone can help put this together. Thank you.

Also if you have any videos that you can share that shows how to install something(because who does not like a Tut Video lol) rather it be a ROM or making a NANDOID(if thats right) backup if you need or not maybe just some how To's because I had to Root back to stock and this [ROM] AT&T Stock ROM - Sense [Unroot] and the user helped me out, thanks again friend, very informative.

thanks again for any help hints and walk throughs.

I for got to add this in once your done rooting you can check it with super user to see if everything is good. Also I found these guys to become very helpful major Props to them.. ANDROID Applications (How-To Backup & Restore) Titanium Backup just look that up on youtube or something
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Not trying to be mean, but did you even take a look at the guide? I could be wrong, but I vaguely remember there being a video posted there.

As for what you do after you root your phone, you can flash a rom if you want... I mean its really a subjective question..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Staticpunk84:
yes I looked just any video dealing with the inspire I hoping that this thread could kind of be one place for some ?s I see all over the place but its worth a shot to see if it turns out that way but for others that see the title of this thread could get some help with out ppl being "mean" for a ?s thats been asked and yes there is a search bar but...hey not everyone use it as much as we reply with "There is a search bar you know" or any other remark..

So Im hoping with that said that this thread could help other out with some Very common ?s. Because other user dont see a thread that looks like what they are looking for so others make a thread asking ?s that has been asked many times so with in time maybe this could help a lot of others.. Idk we will see..

Also after seeing a lot of videos about this there is so many different things that are said to do or to get and its get confusing and I can see how it could throw some user off..Because what through me off is the Making of a Nanadoid back up.. I kind of still dont know how lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
That would be why the guide is stickied at the top its meant to be a one stop shop for "new rooters". There is about 20 pages of questions and answers, and many of the members will stop by and answer including devs.

And there a four videos posted in the opening post, one for the hack kit (outdated) and one for bubbys root method. There are also two other videos one that shows you how to recover from a soft brick, and how to flash a rom (including a nandroid back up).

The main reason for the guide to be stickied was to elevate the general forum, from getting a lot of redundant questions, which it has helped.

To answer your question, after you root you really don't have to do anything. As I said before you can flash a rom and make a nandroid backup, which is covered in the guide. You can flash a radio, which there is also a link to the thread for this. You can flash a theme for a rom, which is generally the same as flashing a rom. You can install market apps that require root access.

The only thing that "would/should be" required after rooting would be flashing a recovery ie. clock work mod recovery, which is covered in both rooting processes.

As I said before I am not trying to be mean or rude, but that is kind of why the guide was stickied.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Staticpunk84:
I got you chief.. And I dont take it anything personal its the internet LOL! but If you dont mind can you past the link about making that nanadoid back up. and btw your not the only one with videos more then four. But yeah I hear about the same ?s being asked and yea your thread is like 300+ with a lot lol.. but Idk was hoping that this could be more organized I see that you have a lot of fixes and radios..etc..good stuff though.

I hope Im not steeling you thunder for post..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
A nandoid back up is as simple as this...

Assuming you're rooted, and haven't flashed cwr yet...

Download ROM manager

Open it and choose flash clockwork recovery.

Once that's done, choose backup current rom

Provide a name for your backup

Let it reboot and do the backup.

If you already have clockwork recovery flashed, you can reboot into recovery and select the appropriate menu choice, though if you initiate the backup directly from cwr, I don't think it let's you choose the name.

Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
That's correct, but the backups are stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/$datecode$ It's very easy to rename them after the fact.... so long as you do it within a reasonable time period.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
you can also do it from rom manager and name the backup.

So I've been using my g2x with my tpu case for a couple weeks now and just realized that while I enjoy the extra protection, the phone is getting really warm in my pocket. Does anyone else have that issue? I'm using it without now and it feels normal again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
I've had mine for close to a month now and I haven't noticed it heating up.

Of course, my phone isn't in my pocket that much, even when I'm in my car, my phone is in it's designated seat [cup holder]. So, I may not be the best as far as an answer goes considering.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c00lkatz:
Mine is overclocked to 1300MHz/1.1V and while it does get warm when I use it for a long while, it is usually cool to the touch while idling (400MHz 770mV) using a Speck case. I usually keep it in my pocket and haven't really noticed it get warm. Even when it does, I wouldn't call it hot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] twism50:
I've noticed excessive heat on a few occasions with the tpu case in pocket. Never though about it being a problem though. It seems to happen when I use the music player while doing yard work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TKP1:
Although I don't keep it in the pocket much (More in the use mode) I have noticed it getting rather warm. BUt then again, before I got the case it warmed up pretty nicely. As another member said here on the forum "Due to the dual cores and poor ventilation these things can get warm". Also, the less activity you have going on in the sync department and general settings (power users) the less workout the phone has to conduct.

Hi there,

does anyone know a way how to hide apps from the drawer?

Google says i could use a different drawer (i don't want that) or i could disable them with tools like Titanium Backup (which needs root).

So any ideas? And why are there even TWO apps for Facebook and TWO Apps for Twitter?
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
I don't think you can hide drawer icons in Sense. You need to use a launcher like AWDLauncher.EX or Launcher Pro to be able to do that.

HTC has its own Facebook and Twitter apps/widgets, and the others are the official apps from the Android Market.
