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.

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.

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 :/

strange right? i then unplugged the charger and put it back in, it was back to normal..
but heres the temps... temps are legit, the phone was cool to the touch (and i know what warm is! )
...
I've had this issue too. The other day my phone was at 52degrees whilst charging.
Someone suggested the cases may be to blame. I use a gel skin but have sent for the official case.

yeah, but the temperatures are cooler than normal? :S, it NEVER hits below 29.0C ...
Today is a hot day, and my phone is at 32 degrees whatsapping online for 20 minutes. But playing games it jumps to 40-45, really painful to receive a call after that. I hope they can lower the CPU speed when it gets hot, that way it won't create as much heat or something. I don't know.
I am having this same issue on my Galaxy Tab

Painful as in burning your ears or any other issues we should be aware of ? We should issue a warning: "Don't play games when you expect a call" or get yourself a personalized voicemail message: Hi, i'm playing games on my phone right now and my battery temp is >50C, there's no way in hell i will reply to any call
argh, i gotten this popup too when i tried to charge my phone. wasn't doing anything with the phone!
@OP Sorry, out of topic question. What is the widget that monitor your cpu speed+ temperature?
Setcpu I believe.

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.
Something really weird happens when playing Ingress the battery drains like a mofo which is expected and then when I stop even when I use the phone the battery stays flat for a while. Seems the power of Ingress is too much for the battery sensor on the phone. Makes it hard to know how much battery I really have though.
I hope they fix this. My SGS3 at least drains fast but normally not over a cliff like this.

My battery has this issue too, it just goes down 10% in a second
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
its using gps, Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, and all the cores to run so yeah its pretty resource heavy
My battery lasted a whole hour while playing Ingress last time. That's not too bad considering that the screen is on, with gps, etc etc.
I have seen this on any electronic devices, laptops, phones etc. I think it's just a software issue

is it using stock rom and kernel?

Happens on every kernel so I think its a battery controller issue rather than kernel. The funny thing is after I stop it flat lines for a while so it obviously didn't really drain what it shows. Yes it uses basically every part of the phone at once but should be a smooth drop not off a cliff. One time I tried it went from 100% to 10% in like 1.5-2hrs of Ingress.

how long can you play ingress on a battery charge and on what phone. I have SGS2, standar battery and I can reach 2,5 hours of screen on time.
2 hours on the phone did this to my battery. Screen time was 48 mins. Screen was off on call using BT. Phone was red hot after call

It is something you installed or something on your setting up the phone.
this phone battery is amazing , trust me it is.
I get screen on times , unthinkable to my previous phones with brightness way way higher
so.. just try to figure out what is eating your batt and why.
edit:
then again you didnt start your battery log with 100% batt
and your drain was due to a very phone cal (?) With screen off, but your network signal suck really bad, maybe is from there ? But even with low coverage I find it hard to imagine that drain.
But then again.. never had low coverage ..
Yeah I can assure you it's something in your settings that is giving you poor life. You didn't give much description of what they are so it's tough for me to help you with what to fix, or how much knowledge you already have. I recommend BetterBatteryStats and Battery Mix for starters.
Install BBS (Better Battery Stats) and find the rogue application that is causing battery drain.
Battery life for me is amazing. I get close to 28-30 hours with mid - heavy usage.

Your signal during this two hour call was awful. Keeping a connection while not using the phone is a battery sucker in these conditions. I imagine it is much more so when you are actually on the phone. I'd suspect that as the culprit, as the radio has to be pumped up to the max constantly, instead of every minute or so.
I had a note 2 on same network and never saw this kind of drain. I think this qualcomm chip is ****. In my settings my cpu was at 2.27ghz for 1 hour 43 mins! Why was my cpu maxed out while making a simple call.?
