[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3xophen:
Hi all,

My SGSII heat up alot while charging. (for exactly i charge when phone have only 8%). The heat is not normal. It's more heat than while playing game.

And also it got high temp while using wifi and internet browsing between these days. Do you guys face the same problem?

SGSII is really great . But it heat up alot while playing game and turn on wifi.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allanon+:
Mine is a bit warm in the battery area when I begin charging the phone. But I wouldn't call it "extremely hot".

Another case is when I browse the web (that has flash) it feels a bit warm near the camera area (should be the CPU). Have not played games though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feicher:
There has been a discussion going on about that. It seems that some apps (eg Robo Defense) are not properly coded for the dual core. In addition some members also hinted, that the kernel is not yet optimized to compensate for that. The whole discussion started after a guy has "fried" his SG2 (beyond repair) while playing a game and charging at the same time. The phone still worked on AC power but no longer and battery and was unable to charge battery.

My recommendation would be,

- not to play games to long to heat up the device to much before new firmware is out.

- ...or use cet CPU to downthrottle to 500-800 MHZ

If the device heats up while charging I would try rebooting it (to get rid of processes which may still are open) or preferably charging while switched off
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MorRoquen:
Which firmware are you using? I was on KF2, and experienced the phone heating up while playing games.

Updated to KF3 (stock, using Kies) rooted and all was well again. Even with excessive gaming, constant wifi on etc the phone just gets mildly warm.

There's no need to underclock etc. The heating issues just went away with KF3. If that firmware is not yet available in your area on Kies, then just put a newer custom ROM (Darky/Lite'ning/Villian etc) and try it out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
I remember whatsapping with some friends and I noticed my pocket felt really really hot. I checked and saw Whatsapp crashed. Also my battery sucked up about 30%. The phone was too hot to touch. I instantly took out the battery too let it cool down.

I never had that since. I expect it's resolved too, because I have KG1 now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3xophen:
my firmware is KF2. now i decided to upgrade to KG1. is it stable now? any recommend rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
As long as it stays below 50°C it is perfectly NORMAL.

And besides there is NO heat up issues with this phone.

Regards.

Hello

My s2 heated up alot too

so much so that it melted my simcard whilst it was on charge

also got led burn marks,

sent it to samsung lets see what they do 4 me

:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3xophen:
I already upgraded to XXKG1 and still heat up alot while playing pottery game.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android53:
This is why from the factory apple underclock their cpu's.

Samsung got the crazy idea of overclocking an already power hungry cpu.

A phone that gets too hot to touch under normal use is not fit for purpose
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicBarbecue:
Is it impossible to get roms from phones that are similar to the epic such as vibrant roms
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flimsy888:
If it is properly ported...yes but you just can't flash a zip from the vibrant forums there are still major differences in the phones..from a developing point of view.

So long story short NO!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicBarbecue:
I see... is it hard to port roms? And i know you cant just flash one cause i did it just to see what would happen and all it did was bootloop lol..no biggie though..i always see people asking to port...i wanna learn lol
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] SilverHedgehog:
So I ordered an HD2 from Ebay, with WP7 installed and activated, however the seller said that he doesn't have the code anymore.

I have 2 questions:

Is the code generated for a Live account, or for a single device?

Is it stored somewhere after activation? If so, how do you get it?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jinge:
Just call MS support, they will give you one without too many questions (for me it was only phone n° + email). Just say you bought a windows phone, which is asking for an activation code.

I don't think you can get a number back, you have to store it somewhere to be able to use it again. I think it is linked to a live account, which can have more than 1, but not 100% sure about it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] SilverHedgehog:
WP7 phones aren't officially sold in Russia, so I don't think I can get the code..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
Using Skype, call MS in The United States ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] SilverHedgehog:
Hey guys, I called Russian MS support, and they gave me the activation code!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] matrixnhd2:
activating in India

Could you please tell me the toll free number for activating in India?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jinge:
Go to MS website, look for contact at the bottom, then by phone.

You will get a number, maybe not free but cheap

Call them, try to get somebody as fast as you can (usually I press many times '*') and ask for the number of the activation service, which should be a local or free call..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrygooch:
ok, so webtop is a great concept I think it will be quite useful if.. I can run other apps.. I've done the webtop2sd and it seems I cant get the webtop configurator to work. from my understanding thats how we get the ubuntu repos added. My ultimate goal is to have my guilty pleasure (minecraft running on it) I hope its possible but it needs java. can someone please clarify the issue? I'm by no means dumb when it comes to this stuff. but android and linux and scripts are so-so in my knowledge. thanks!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaitana:
Dear God I am going to scream.

I am having this exact problem, yet no solution was listed. I have rooted the phone, I have loaded webtop2sd. Yet when I click on the configurator icon it glows for a second then nothing happens. I have gone over where busybox is installed. The diagnostics screen say I have both mmcblk0p13 and mmcblk1p2 mounted with the webtop configurator version 33.

I am not a linux noob but I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong on the install. All the icons are there, and all the files were copied, I have rebooted a million times, yet the icons just glow and then do nothing. Please help?

Using Atrix4G with real lapdock. AT&T US version with valid SIM and a 8GB Microsd card partitioned to the default 1gb/7gb split. I have the stock AT&T gingerbread rom and the original webtop was stock.

All,

Is this assuming that the phone is still pre-gingerbread OTA?

There's no mention of locked bootloaders, android version and the article was posted today July 11th...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eNdblu:
I'm just wondering if anyone's been experiencing the horrible battery life that I've been dealing with since installing the Google+ app?

My battery went from being able to go nearly 2 days with minimal use, to being under 20% after 8 hours of sitting beside me on my desk during the work day without barely even touching it (maybe sending a text or 2 during the day).

Android OS has now become the main reason for battery drain on my phone where as in the past, it's always been the Display.

Anyone else noticing this with their phone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] endersdestiny:
I've noticed it to on my Captivate. It seems like data is constantly going in and out and battery life is non-existent. Going to uninstall the app for now and hope that an update is released for it soon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eNdblu:
Ok...

So I wasn't just imagining things then.... I've been contemplating removing it as well, which is too bad since I've found it to be a bit useful
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] endersdestiny:
If you do remove it make sure to reboot the phone. I was still getting drain issues before rebooting. I'm watching it now to see if it still is draining or if it's been resolved. I'll let you know in about 30 minutes one way or the other.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Memnoch30:
I'm having the same thing on my G2x running CM7 nightlies. I'm about to uninstall this to test. Did uninstalling work for you OP?

edit: I just thought it could be related to instant upload? My wife has Google+ installed and no issues, but she's running a stock G2x. I'll disable it and test.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sentrix27:
Stock Thunderbolt here. Don't seem to have any issues with the Google+ app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr_Ownage:
I am also having this issue. lost over 20% over night. I have a nexus s and can normally get 3+days out of my phone. Since installing Google+ battery has not even lasted a day!!!! i have killed the service and already i am seeing massive improvements with battery.

I dont believe it is to do with instant upload as i have turned it off with no luck.

I hope google fixes this issue soon!!!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jsn:
I've got a Desire using the Leedroid 3.0.8 rom,

but it doesn't seem to show the mentioned issues.

I do have the instant-upload enabled and

about 70 people divided in circles with not

much activity in the updates-stream yet.

(I'm guessing it's based on push technlogy)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eNdblu:
I uninstalled and rebooted my phone yesterday...

Curious to see if I get the battery life that I had prior to installing...

On a Captivate running CM7 Nightlies #54

Wasn't sure if the battery performance was related to CM7 or the app... So we'll see! I was getting some great battery performance when I was on #34, but did the Google+ install and the update on the same day... Haha
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starskyrob:
same here on epic 4g. uninstalled g+... problem went away. Go figure.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dan53:
It's because G+ app has push notifications - any app that has that automatically starts up if closed and starts on boot.

Push notifications are a good thing, but only if you have a spare battery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chad_Petree:
OMg could i have found the cause for my POOR battery life, i cant even get a single day out the battery with my inspire 4g
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htccraze:
I have a htc hd2 running RAFDROID HD and i been using the app for about a week now. I can say i haven't seen an increase in my battery usage while using the app. not sure what to suggest, have you tried to disable push notifications? settings/sync/google/uncheck sync google+ notifications. its set to unchecked as default.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Da Big D:
I've noticed that Google+ is trying to instant upload all my photos for no apparent reason. They show up in G+ in Photos->Photos from your phone section, but I'd rather not have all my photos uploaded - eats out of my very limited (100mb) internet and lowers battery life. I'm not exactly sure if its only photos and videos either - need to look into it more.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eNdblu:
Well....

I uninstalled G+ the other day to see if battery life would increase... And it did.

So I decided to do another test..

I reinstalled G+ last night, and after I took my phone off the charger this AM, I gave it a reboot. My phone's sitting at 72% right now with 8 hours of light usage... So I dunno what to say...

Maybe Google updated it? Maybe installing a different kernel helped me out? No clue...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appfactory:
How do you guys uninstal G+ the safest way?

Its not possible to remove without Roooting it says...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gammagogeta:
I was using Bamf 3.0 RC4 for like 3 days. I installed the HTC theme from their HTC hub, it restarted and all of the sudden my 3G was gone. I've tried flashing to MR2.5 (was using the new radio that just came out a few days ago). I've tried to install the rom clean again and then flash to the newer radio, but nothing. I do not know what is wrong. My texting and calling still work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razgueado:
Check your preferred network setting. Settings->Wireless & networks->Set Preferred Network. Scroll down to "Set preferred network type:" Make sure it's set for CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto. This should be the default setting.

If it's already set for that, try setting it to CDMA auto (PRL). This switches your phone to 3g only (no 4g). If that works, try setting it back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto. If it still works, you're golden, at least for the time being.

If neither of these works, you have a deeper problem. But start here.

If you don't find the preferred network setting where I guided you, open the DasBAMF Toolkit and choose LTE Settings. I'm on RC5pre and don't recall if the preferred network type setting was where I first guided you on RC4.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gammagogeta:
I have tried all of those before I posted, just didn't write it down. I'll try to install a different ROM tonight when I get home to see if that work.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
i got interest in:

p_brew.readfileresponse

if brew lets you load things. i can do test like i did with mtp, through raw USB.
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
I wondered the same thing about the listing of "brew" there. Can't wait to see if John finds anything.

Using BitPim, which (I believe, from my google searches) references QPST content, the .efs_private folder seems to be specific to QPST. If we're seeing an error trying to list that area, it's probably because bitpim is designed to look for some standard folders, which the Kin does not have.
[KIN Two Software Development] X-15D9W8491:
if we had a worthwhile alternative to BitPim, we may be able to see what's in there. And when you said QPST, does that have anything to do with Qualcomm? I was also looking at the configuration settings for the phone's modem, and i think it mentioned that. So this file could contain hardware, storage, and other files that we could use to break through the restrictions on the phone.
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
Yes, many phones use Qualcomm hardware or functionality, including Verizon ones. Bitpim simply takes advantage of some common functionality between these phones.

Which file did you mean?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sandwiches:
what did I do wrong?

I followed this http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/get_the_mango_update_now._without_being_a_developer.-06-30-11

it backed up fine. updated fine, restarted phone, then it said it found a new update (mango) then it froze at update 7 of 9 for about 20 mins so i canceled it.

now it wont boot. what can i do?

ive tried running restore.bat but it says no device found
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sandwiches:
ok managed to get mango working, but now zune wont sync? it cannot see the device when connected.

mango seems a lot snappier!! loving bing nav too,.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
You need the beta 4.8 zune software if you don't have it already..
[Windows Phone 7 General] brondum:
Did you notice the white bar at stage 7? that's the progress, mine was over 40min before completing that step. Did you really read the instructions, because it says that you need to install the beta Zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
if you use the non dev tool to update you need 4.7

after you updated the phone you need to change to 4.8 .
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sandwiches:
Thanks guys. I did read the instructions but had no idea it'd take up to 40 mins. I guess i'm lucky the update continued after I canceled it!

Can I re-apply the update just to make sure it's ok? The phone does say 'no updates available'.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sandwiches:
One thing to note though - when I tried to revert to nodo before it said no restore points found. This is going to cause problems when mango is released obviously...

Can I get a nodo restore from elsewhere? Will there definitely be no mango beta > mango final upgrade path?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
under settings you can see what build you have if it is 7661 then you have the mango beta 2
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Yea, the install took a while. No, you can't reinstall it. The only way to remove it is to uninstall it completely, then reinstall it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
You will have to flash your phone with Optimus 7 ROM if you cannot restore as there's no way to upgrade from Mango beta to Mango release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sandwiches:
Cool. When I do that i'll flash with v10h (feb 11) as mine is v10g (oct 10)
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
OK ...after all this why you dont change the title m8 ????

Really ?????? Mango killed your LG ????

Change it m8....change it...its a lie
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sandwiches:
why do people say you cant go from mango beta to mango release and go on about it being really important to back up your phone when you can just reflash the original firmware which will put nodo back on?

thread title changed as requested:p
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I assume because lots of people - including many developers - simply don't know how to flash a device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
people go on about this because it came with the mango b2 instructions from the MS.

also, reflashing with original firmware is not a simple process of connecting your phone to the PC and let Zune do the rest. There are several steps, beyond even getting the firmware in the first place.

what is said: Mango b2 ≠≠> Mango release

your solution: Mango b2 ==> NoDo firmware ==> Mango release

that is pretty much the same as saying you can't go directly from Mango b2 to Mango release, which is what people are going on about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Titus_Andronicus:
OhOh, my update said

Should I not finish the Mango Beta update, and start over?
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
It is absurd to me that I cannot easily find a 1x1 widget that displays unread exchange emails, similar to the one that HTC provides for sense. I know of "Android 1×1 Ultimate Unread Widget", but that requires root, which obviously I don't have.

Does anyone know if this exists? I want to try an alternative launcher, but this one issue alone is preventing me from doing so. I must be able to quickly see at a glance how much unread work emails I have.
[HTC EVO 3D] st0921:
You can just use a regular application icon. It will show the unread count.
[HTC EVO 3D] parousia15:
I don't think so. I'm using launcherpro and the icon does not show the unread count. Is there something I am missing?
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
Adw ex I think will... Maybe adw with adw notifier installed as well
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
But what if I don't want to use ADW?

EDIT: ADW notifier only works for K-9 mail. I don't use K-9, and in fact cannot because I'm on Exchange 2010.

I've been having this problem for a few days now. All of this has happened over a cell connection.

Occasionally, when surfing the net, searching, or clicking a link, I will get a page not found error. It will happen clicking links from pages, trying to launch google.com, or using the search key on the phone.

During the times the net isn't working, the phone reports full connectivity. Also, some apps like Facebook will still work. Some bookmarks will still work.

I was initially getting this on a stock rooted rom, but switched to CM7 and it still happens.

I've tried to force roaming, it still happens.

I also tried to do a profile update when on the stock rom, but I have NEVER, on any of the 3 Shifts I've owned, been able to get it to work

Is anyone else on sprint getting this? My girlfriend (stock rooted evo) has had the same issue, but not nearly as bad.
