What's at the bottom of the phone the cpu or radio? Whatever it is it is being taxed like crazy by something when the phone is idling with nothig running, including widgets.

Same here. After the recent update Im still getting the stuck at 90% indicator, and after I disconnect the phone's bottom will stay hot for the rest of the day... I'm worried it might blow in my pocket.
It's actually below the battery that gets the hottest, so I doubt the battery is in danger of blowing; can't be good for it's longevity though. At least for me it seems to be associated with charging, so actually doesn't seem bad while in pocket.
Seemed to be push exchange email doing it.

Can anyone get that to happen? Cuz I can't....
This happened to me last night after rooting my phone. The phone was hot and the battery died on me. I read on another forum someone posted that the exploid executable was still running in the background and you need to kill it manually from the shell or reboot. So that might be the cause of it.

I can't get it to do that either tried 10.

I took mine back on the first day after I bought it when it did that. It was also locking up requiring battery removal 5 times in the first day. The kiosk where I bought it tried to tell me it was the network being overloaded was causing that. I said 'BS', either give me a new phone or a loaner till you get me a replacement, so they gave me a new phone on the 16th.
Have not had any trouble with the new one. Battery lasts three times as long as my evo did.
Well after fully charging and draining my phone about 5 times, I'm seeing that it still didnt last more then 4-5 hours with minimal use. I just went to my closest Verizon store and got a new battery for free. It's only been 4 hours, but my phone isnt as hot on the bottom( by speaker) and its still at 78%, which is much better.
I thought the phone reported in 10% increments :/

Hey, I just want to share my battery experience.
Here in the forums we hear a lot about problems. I ordered my phone almost 1 month ago and it just arrived last Thursday. During this whole month I read a lot about battery issues and I was afraid of having it too.
For my surprise it's been wonderful.
So, I want to post this positive experience to calm anyone that's anxious about this problem, as I was three days ago.
I wrote what happened in the screen shot, but basically I'm always connected via wi-fi or 3G, a little bit of web, games, downloads, apps and messages, and only about 3 or 4 calls (it's the feature I use less)
Thanks

Thats pretty sweet. I experienced great battery life for the first 2 days i had it but after putting loads of widgets and etc on it, my battery life isnt so great :/. That damn android os taking up the majority of it.
yeah, the only push notification i use is whatsapp.
as I work with my gmail, facebook and twitter open all day, I don't need their push notification in my phone.
I think it helps too

well, I used as I will use in my real life.
I don't spend 6 hours looking to the screen.
as I said, I work in front of a laptop 12h/day...
My conclusion is that the battery responds my real life needs.
This was not a heavy performance test.
Check out my battery usage and I still have 8% left.....the d stand for day, just so you know.

the airplane mode really helped it. i'd love to see your results with just leaving it regular during the night.
Here is mine with a light usage. Large drops are reboot or GPS. Have I broken the record for the longest battery life?
hi guys..just got SGS2 and I have battery overheating problem, I saw a lot links on google with that problem but could not find solution...is there a soultion for this kinda big problem?
It's not the battery..it's the phone and processor overheating, working nonstop due to constant updates of apps, searching for signal and so on. It's like a car revved up on traffic.
Try to find out what's actually running on the phone, you can start by reading battery related threads.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
thank you for your quick tip...for example, all apps are down, i only use browser and after 10 min it is so hot...so there is no any custom rom here that reduces this heat a bit??? seems little bit to much
There has to be something running in the background..could be apps updating, or phone searching for signal(especially if you have wrong modem installed).
I personally check Every apps I installed, and make sure they don't do auto update. Quick check, try to turn off background data, and then auto sync (both in setting). See what happened.

To my experience
Using wifi with low signal can caused significant battery heat.

Are you using the phone while it's charging, that tends to heat it also

Relax, there is nothing wrong with your phone. If you play a game or browse flash powered sites, you can cook eggs on the back of your S2! Talk about multitasking phones, who else can cook you breakfast?
Personally, I reduced drastically the heat/power consumption by rooting the phone and removing over 60mb of crap. Now I run at 160mb of memory for services and my battery life easily doubled. It still heats when I charge it for a while... On my old Palm Pre2, after 2hrs of usage my battery was completely drained with similar heat issues.

That is a lot of wakelocks that maps is giving you there man!
Thanks, never thought about it... How do I fix this?
First: HOW HOT is Your hot ? (for an Eskimo 15 °C is already very hot)
Second: Leave it as it is. EVERY ELECTRICAL DEVICE gets hot when used. The more the hotter.
E.g. Laptop core i7 CPUs are designed for max. Heat of 105° C and my Vaio runs at 85°C when CPU is at 100%.

I'm gunna guess........ Latitude? Do you have this enabled? It depends on what you are trying to do, about 25% battery in 5 hours running time isn't too bad or anything, just all of those waking events add up. Also it could be that you are out and about and that your WiFi is constantly searching, that would be my other guess. But maps has already admitted to eating 21% of your charge on your third screenshot
Ya, latitude is on.
I noticed that the Android OS usage is pretty high, between 60-90% on xBTx's mostly stock rom with Nubecoders kernel v02.
Anyone seeing high Android OS usage on other ROMs?

What do you think makes your phone work? Take off your OS and see if you can load anything. Would you expect your PC to load a Program for Windows without Windows running? Percentage don't mean crap. It is how many seconds a program runs for. The OS and display will ALWAYS be the highest percentage.

I get your point, but usage was never this high with froyo. It was always around 6%. If you read any of the thread I posted, it's apparently a bug...
And on froyo, Android OS was always below 10%...
Its saying android os is using 90% of the battery power that's been used so far.
Remember how screen on used to be 80% and now since froyo its always single digits?
Ima blame better battery management

Going theory is that they changed which stat they measured the graphics processor under when GB came out. What used to be considered a display process may now be measured under Android System.
I woudn't worry about the percentages too much, but what I would worry about is why at about the half way mark it looks like your phone never goes into a deep sleep? Either you were using it for six hours straight, or you may have a wake lock there.

Right on.. it doesn't look like he was using it based on the slope of the battery drain, so I would be looking for an app triggering partial wake-lock. Odds are it's another case of Handcent killing innocent batteries.
Dont u feel gets overheated while playing games or charging or while hardcore using ur fone..Is der ny solution to this problem? I cant even make calls as the phone heats up my ear too much
It's normal that the phone gets warm when playing games or using it much...
Try find out what the temp of the phone is when it's hot...
/CK
51°C as told by elixir.is it normal?
It gets particularly hot when I browse the Internet nonstop for about 10 minutes.

I have been around 51°C, but normally around 47°C when my phone is working hard. So guess it's kinda normal...

yep, mine gets really hot when I run the WAZE app on it as well as if i'm listening to streaming music on it. Unless i hold it up to the A/C vents in the car, it will get too hot for me to put it up to my ear to make/receive a call.
I also have problems when I use it as a navigation tool on my motorbike. The waterproof sat nav case prevents circulation and after 20 mins I get a message that battery charging stopped because of to much heat. Figuring now out how to add some vent with a fan/vent.

And with current consumer Law Samsung will have an obligation to either repair or replace the device.
use your phone as normal.
Yes and the only solution it is undervolting the gpu and cpu with some app like tegrak, setcpu or cpu master
I swtiched from LR1 modem to LPT today and I swear my phone is running cooler. I've used it the same as I do everyday and I can really tell it is cooler. Although LPT is slower in speed test for me I think I will keep it for awhile.

If you press the menu (upper right) and uninstall updates, you might be able to disable it.

Don't see a way to uninstall updates for it. I just forced closed it and my battery seems to be hanging onto each % longer. Will be interesting to see with a full charge tomorrow.
Setup wizard is doing the same thing, what the hell.

Well that may be, but since I forced them shut I'm still at 97% battery today after almost 2 hours. Seems like it helped battery life so far. Still wish I could disable both of them.
Two words... 'Package Disabler'.
Ok, just installed that and disabled VR entirely. We'll see how that goes.
Any update?

Wtf, got my S7 Edge some days ago, i have high battery drain even when screen is off, just checked this out and i got 12% without having any vr at all. I went greenifying it
The best mobile hijacker to get robbed by today!
If you do not want to use the Gear VR and you own a Samsung SMART phone, Samsung will force you to install it. If you try to refuse, the install app will interrupt any other app running every couple of minutes. This results in constant interruptions and a fast drain of the battery. Search for Gear VR on the web and you will see this has been an ongoing issue for more than a year and Samsung is doing nothing.
I finally gave in and installed the software in order to get my phone back. All I got was access to their online store where I can buy their VR apps.
I paid $600 for the phone only to have it hijacked by Samsung and turned into their personal kiosk.
This feels so dishonest.
