My gs2 keeps getting really hot. Even while just browsing the web my CPU hits like 120 degrees ferenheight. I don't know why but I'm on the latest shostock rom. Any ideas?

Let's take a stroll. Through the useful information garden. And over the obvious bridge. Look! Its a butterfly! Let's name it What kernel u running? So beautiful. It'd also be helpful to know if yer overclocking, messing with voltage settings, if u were charging the phone, and....anything else that could help someone actually solve the problem.

Dip the phone into the bucket full of cold water and see if it actually drops a few degrees.

Rule one of messing with electronics is to keep track of what you did so if something like an overheat or reboot issue suddenly arises, you know what the probable culprits are. without knowing what you were running before the heat issue and now, the only real advise is to compare your setups and see what is different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] slayaman22232:
I'm not overclocking. I haven't touched the voltages and I'm running the latest shostock with the kernel it comes with. I'm posting this because all I'm doing is browsing the web or just sending a text and my phone is literally way too hot to even hold

(As a note, the temps quoted in the above link are conservatively low. But better safe than sorry in ruining your phone)

Your phone will likely be fine. Most of the components that get hot in electronic devices (cpu, gpu, ect) can handle well over 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Obviously it is still a very bad idea to let any electronics get overly hot -and hard to hang onto because of heat is overly hot.

The first thing to be affected by heat will be the battery life. Batteries "can" (not guaranteed) be irreparably damaged by +160 fahrenheit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ashhong:
Could lowering voltages cause a phone to run even hotter? I would think it's the other way around...

My phone gets very hot from time to time. Only when it's on the charger though.

I noticed the same problem when on the lastest version shostock a week ago. It would only happen when the phone would lock-up. I can't remember exactly what programs I had running. I believe I was just sending or reading a text at the time. And I don't use the FB app that much. Maybe once a week. Happened 3 times during one day and it would good from nothing to hot in a matter of seconds. Almost too hot to touch. Took the battery out one time and place it under a fan to cool it down. Kind of scared me so I was checking the phone all day long to make sure it was not doing it again.

I honestly just thought it was a bad rom install so I downgraded back to GB after those events. Hasn't happened since. I had no OC or UV going on just stock settings.

I hope there is software and hardware fail-safes in place if the temp gets too high.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] snipe2nite:
I noticed the XDA app after I closed it was still pulling 10-15 cpu power after I killed it my temp went down quick. See if that might be doing it....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Molon Labe:
Heat

Ok.... The more you have going on...the hotter the phone will be. The cpu's under loads will definatly create temps. So kill apps. Check how your cpu package handle and read up on cup settings. In on smartaz 2 with ioa .

SetCPU is a great idea to get. You can setup a profile so that when it gets over a certain temp a notification goes off and can lower the processor speed. Mine is set to go down too 500mhz if it gets to warm.

I wanted to give a warning to anyone who may be experiencing overheating on their phones. Its most likely due to this.

If u simply change wallpapers and reboot, should be good to go.

If your overheating problems are when using WiFi then it's kernel related and try changing your kernel to the latest version of either Fluxi (recommended), Siyah, CM9 or Dark Knight.

Heat is caused by the proccessor being used. Modem deals with service, In theory a bad modem could give bad service and cause your phone to constantly be working to find better. But thats just theory.

Watchdog is a useful tool to check background CPU usage. It has to update every 10 minutes at least, if you leave it running on a schedule (never noticed a significant impact on battery though). You can, however, just use its "real-time" monitor; just make sure to disable it when you're done.

I looked at my notification bar and had full 4G bars. I couldn't believe it!

Edit: And full bars which I never got on regular 4G. I'm in San Antonio btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
Wow, things are looking up for Sprint. I left them months ago back when I had my EVO 3D. I could not stand terrible 3G and coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
That's a lot faster than some of the other Sprint LTE Tests I've seen. Probably not "live" yet, but testing. Enjoy it while it lasts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Hope I can lte here in marble falls... its a little bit away from Austin. :D:D at least a taste I don't need 33mbs at least 5 or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well Sprint's LTE markets won't even be in the double digits until 2013. And a couple years after that to be "nationwide coverage". The vast majority of Sprint's customers will be on 3G for the foreseeable future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Epix4G:
Sprint it's supposed to be done with lte by the end of2013 where U get your info...that is every tower with 3g will have lte

It's not just Sprint doing the roll out it was broken into like 5 areas and Samsung ericsson lucent are working on it too....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milan03:
You don't know what you're talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derekwilkinson:
Not getting any LTE in Houston yet :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Good speeds, but the ping is about 3 times what I see with LTE on VZW
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slopra:
I haven't seen anyone else talking about the Sprint LTE. Have they just been testing it in different areas or have you seen official Sprint tests? I googled, but couldn't find anyone else talking about it. I'd be interested to see what other people's experience with it was, i.e. if it has been improving, signal strength, etc.

And sadly it lasted less than an hour. Luckily I caught it. But everything was extremely fast. It was awesome. If LTE gets full bars in my house I might consider getting rid of my internet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
And why don't I? Show me their national WiMax coverage that they rolled out in the last 2 years.... right, it doesn't exist. Same will be for LTE. Sorry, but just because Sprint says they're going to roll it out by the end of 2013 doesn't mean anything to me or any other slightly skeptical person.

Believe me, I'm pulling for them. I'd love to see Sprint step it up big time and challenge AT&T and Verizon's LTE efforts, but I find it hard to believe that Sprint will ever be able to catch up. Even if they

completely

covered their 3G network with LTE in that time (which they just can't physically/monetarily do), they won't be catching Verizon or even AT&T by that point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Lol right sprint won't do it everyone forgets clear was the primary doing the rollouts and yeah. The BOD wants this to happen I am sure they will make sure it happens by the deadline or before and then once that is done they can hopefully jump it down to the 800mhz band as well. I think it will and if not 24 months from now I will move on but there are more posts of LTE then I saw of WiMAX when that started.

Not to mention other cell companies that work with sprint well one anyways atm is also helping.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
When Sprint saw the writing on the wall for WiMax, they did the smart thing and stopped investing in it.

Good for them. They instead began their LTE preparations along with beginning their Network Vision deployment. They accelerated their 800mhz refarm.

Sprint has never been able to compete on coverage - 4g or otherwise. Hell, their native CDMA network is smaller than T-Mobile's network. That said, Sprint has a big ol boatload of spectrum, which means they can continue to provide unlimited data (or eventually, faster speeds) far longer than their competition can.

Now, I'm a T-Mobile customer as well as a Sprint customer, and was about to drop my Sprint line for a prepaid line, but Sprint (and T-Mobile) are on the upswing and I very much like the progress they're making.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
I think Sprint could potentially do better than AT&T with their LTE rollout as AT&T seems to be going pretty slowly about it. However, VZW is lighting up more and more areas every few weeks, so I don't think anyone will catch them until VZW has started moving to another network standard. I have read that Sprint's LTE plans are very aggressive, so it could just be they are installing and testing the network in several large markets right now to turn on several cities all at once rather than just a small handful like AT&T did at the start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Interesting theory, but Verizon and even ATT will complete their rollout before Sprint does. So by the time Sprint gets to enjoying LTE across the network, Verizon and ATT will be looking at deploying VoLTE.

They can have buttloads of spectrum, but they don't have the resources to compete with rollouts or to to advance in a timely manner. They will always be playing third base.

Heck, MetroPCS rolled out LTE before them (Verizon too, for that matter).

andddddd nothing in arlington (dallas) yet either
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Going to be the same as WiMax basically. Its on the same frequency (~2.5ghz) right now. But there are fewer live LTE towers (and only in testing) so its gonna be even worse at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Wrong LTE is not on the same freq it is on the 1900 band so it should be as good as 3g signal wise
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I wouldn't assume that. Typically lower frequencies have better building penetration, yet 3G on Verizon has better penetration than LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
That's weird but it still won't be as bad as WiMAX and is deff not on the 2.5 band lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
I believe Verizon LTE is on 700 and sprints 1900 ouch but once they get rid off Nextel completely they will have the 800 one which will help. 4G suck IMO cause I was able to download 3-5 mbps but it sucks inside buildings and battery will drain really fast I hope LTE is better then my current 3G cause that's one of the reason my battery doesn't last 3G got really bad in the last year :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Sprint LTE should be live "this summer" in the obvious areas. (CA, TX, NY).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Well it should the concept behind their network vision is it will expand coverage and reduce towers needed. As well as a hunch of.other stuff. Go check out s4gru.com I think it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Sorry yes. Forgot they've started at 1900mhz, not 2.5ghz. They have definitely not moved to 800mhz yet.

There are a number of Houston towers already online, I've heard reports of it working around the Hermann Park area.

This is the map of LTE towers for Houston. I personally haven't seen any online with my phone, but then I probably live too close to a non 4G tower to pick it up.

Houston is too large to effectively roll out to everyone all at once I guess.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
Verizon and ATT won't be deploying VoLTE for another couple years. And at that, I'm not sure what your point is. Rolling out LTE and deploying VoLTE aren't mutually exclusive in the least, and rolling out LTE isn't hampered by deploying VoLTE, and VoLTE can be deployed before the network is "finished" being deployed.

As for "completing" their rollouts - Verizon says that want to have their entire network covered with Rel8 LTE by 2013. They won't even begin deploying VoLTE until they upgrade to Rel10 LTE. Sprint (and T-Mobile, for that matter) are/will be deploying Release10-ready LTE from the onset. And both CDMA operators are still reliant on CDMA-LTE soft handoffs working flawlessly on the data side for VoLTE to deploy properly. ATT has the advantage of running on already compatible 3gpp technologies which LTE was designed to work with on the ground up - VoLTE will be easier to deploy for them, but again their rollout plan is significantly longer than Verizon's (and more closely resembles T-Mobile's) and they're not in as big of a rush to deploy LTE because they have HSPA+.

We'll see. While time is not on their side, they are better positioned in the long term. Additionally, their spectrum holdings on the only truly international band (2.6ghz) even give them an advantage down the road for simple roaming once LTE gets deployed in Europe. As for MetroPCS - you're joking, right? MetroPCS rolled out LTE without making any back-end network upgrades. The day it came out the speed tests were in the range of 3-6mbps peaks. In other words, they slapped up some LTE radios and then bolted it onto their small, crappy existing network. No backhaul upgrades in sight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigjim1488:
I won't hold my breath on sprint until I see them go fully live with LTE. I need to know that their network can handle it. So far only one phone has lte I believe. Wait till multiple phones go lte and give the network a real test
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Verizon isn't going to deploy VoLTE until their LTE network is in place. Why would they? By the way, I haven't read that they are waiting until LTE-A to deploy VoLTE (not that I am doubting you), but I know they have been testing it for over a year and made a call on rel8 LTE. There are even some VoLTE ready handsets on Verizon.

http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2011/02/pr2011-02-09f.html

As for the rest of what you said, you are right, time will tell. So far, Sprint hasn't been a winner at much of anything. They were the first to winmax...we all see how well that went. I am glad that you think that Sprint has some upper advantage over Verizon and ATT, but both ATT and Verizon have a lot of what Sprint is short on---money.

As for rel10 LTE being deployed right off the bat...are you really buying that? I really, really doubt that, regardless of what Sprint is saying.

Edit: According to Sprint, they are deploying rel9, not rel10. rel9 still has to be upgraded to 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This. It is one thing to claim LTE-A rollout by 2013, and then quite another when we are halfway through 2012, and there is almost no rofficial rollout.
