I have been using this since the last 2-3 months, rather its a 2nd hand phone (1yr old) . I have used most of the custom roms, as much as i can find and r rated good, but in all of it even the stock its getting highly heated . I tried greenifying all the background apps ( approx 130-150 apps are installed ). Is there any solution to this or its normal for this handset ? Plz let me know if it can be solved its so much frustrating sometimes especially when its hot and someone calls ?? .

Hey there friend, I have the same issue with KE2 European version. It heats up to 50 degrees when used if charging. I wonder why do they mock us with such unfinished products?? Anyway, I posted here just to see if anyone has an idea. Thanks.
This is not a problem , this a new feature of the phone .
Now with you phone you can boil an egg , make a coffee , warm your self and so many other things.

Maybe this is a rom problem , i will suggest you to try the stock rom to check if you are facing the same problem again
My record temp is 55 degrees while charging and using wifi to stream videos..i have tried all kind of roms..stock and others...i know for a fact my device is defective due to some other issues..just waiting for my usb jig to arrive and hope for a replacement..
Cheers.

In the 3 days I have had the device, the back part has gone really really hot once. It happened when I was using the stock web browser to to go to endgadget website, using the 2G, EDGE connection. My browser got stuck and the back part became very hot. I forced the browser to exit, and let my device cool down itself. Afterwards I tried it again, going to endgadget, but using wifi this time. On wifi no such heating issues.
Also from what I have read in the forums, sometimes some apps force the device to use both the processors at 100. So just keep monitoring the CPU usage of the apps, and it a few days you will get to know, which apps to avoid.
My first sgs2 got to 46c + when running kaspersky virus scan before i cancelled it, and that is before i had a skin on my mobile so i sent it back.
I just ran kaspersky again on my new sgs2 with a skin on it, and the temp only got to 34c ,so i wonder if some sgs2 get hotter than others?
EDIT : sorry UK version
Facing the exact same issue with my device dont know the temp bur it gets very very hot , anyone from samsung listening

LoL. That was really funny.
I have the same problem too. With supercurio sound fix in captivate i was overwhelmed by the music but now sound is so awful.
Use Juice Defender. I get around 35 hours of battery life with moderate usage with it!

I'd get an O2X, I've heard great things about it.
Battery life is very dependant on usage, aka the more the screen is on the less time it will last.
I get 14-16hours on a charge, but I do lots of reading via google reader and web browsing, and some gaming.
The SGS2 has some of the best hardware out, an unlocked bootloader, CM hopefully coming so its got a bright future on the community side, and it even seems like samsung might push out a 2.3.4 rom soonish.
Tegra has some small advantages, eg in games, but with Chainfire 3D you can play any tegra games.
YMMV etc.
ive had the gs2 for five days now..and ive gotta say...i LOVE it. right out the gate, the screen smacked me in the face like a flying dildo..simply stunning. the os too is buttery smooth. i have updated through kies once to kf3. my handset is sim free. all stock widgets etc remain. one problem i have is 'software update' and the hubs appear randomly...so i close them, they reappear...i have been.thinking about rooting it, but ive been conditioning the battery. . if i root i can't update through kies..
anyhow, i'm getting roughly 22 hours use, with moderate usage. which is ok. i recommend this phone wholeheartedly...its simply awesome.

Despite the less than stellar battery life, thisis my favorite gadget bar none .
The battery issue is said to be fixed with the new gb 2.3.4 .some also say that modded firmware helps solve this issue.
I'm still in unrooted stock fw and I have force stopped a wifi process . This seems to have stabilized battery usage somewhat. Still too early to tell.
But with battery issue or not, I can't see myself ever using another phone.
When I carry the sgs2 with me I feel like I'm carrying a part of the future- this is what mobile computing is.
If I didn't play around with my phone so much. ( and play so many gameloft games ) My SGS would last at least 2 days. At the end of a day, where I have sent some texts and called some friends, while playing almost an hour of games. I still have 40-50 battery left.
I can recommend this to anyone. (My mom just got the sensation... It's laggy, and bad battery. Standard HTC)
Hello all
1. i am a galaxy note 3 (N900,Dec 2013 model) user from India. I had bought this phone from my cousin post 5 months of usage. As a whole the phone is great and I am happy with it. my problem is that I am getting very poor battery backup. with full charge and moderate use , I am getting a backup of 16-17 hours average with a screen time of 4 to 5 hours. Please note that I use the phone mainly for browsing the net ,whatsapp and calls for less than an hour daily. As 3G or WDMA drains my battery swiftly i have put it on GSM only. Guys ,do everyone get the same backup ? Especially those who are having phones 8 months or more old ?? And its worth mentioning that i put my screen on auto brightness (mostly in low mode ), has disabled gestures and wifi ,gps are always off.i have tried the power saving mode and there is no much difference.i clear the background applications regularly, but still more than 2 GB of my ram will always be in use. sometimes i feel my phone is getting heated,especially when i keep it on my ears when making calls. I still have 4 months of warranty remaining , is there really any problem with my phone or is it the battery who is the villain?? Please help me. your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
2. I also hear a mild noise running in the background when making calls , is this a problem with the phone or network ?
Should i ROOT my phone ? will it do any good regarding the battery life ?? what all are the pros and cons of rooting
cheers
Dr Heart
PS: i opted for note 3 for its battery and its the thing that i am getting the least now
Below are the screenshots of my battery usage. please go through it

Is this Phone worth for 60$ , used but without a scratch on the screen , i want to get it to try out new rooms since i can use them in my old exhibit 4G , im also thinking of rooting this , is the battery bad as i think it is ??
Worth $60 if in perfect working order. need check all buttons especially volume & Radio/Wifi reception
If digitizer been replaced/device opened (broken void sticker on screw head) then needs good looking at.
Also need check no rebooting issues when cpu gets warm (BGA issues)
These devices are old & many been worked hard & flashed close to death so generally hard buy a worthwhile one but hopefully you have ...

The phone was never rooted nor flashed with a rom so it is 100% stock , i checked everything and it works fine , im only worried about battery , if i flash android (and i know android battery sucks) with better battery management would i be able to get 1 day with medium usage ???
If choose ROM & kernal wisely I would of thought so, power management in the Android custom rom's improved hugely.
May also be worth getting quality new battery as if original battery it maybe well below its best capacity ...
My original battery is starting show signs of age now & after 4 years I would expect capacity to be well below 1,000mAh.
my phone have several issues but this heating problem worries me the most..
when im not touching the phone (placed on the table with display on but on lock screen) it is 35C to 38C
when i take it in hand nd unlock and even if i do nothing it rises and reaches 42-45C
when i use apps like gmail, maps, or sms the temprature is around 45-48C
when i play small games it goes between 50-60C
but the most worrying part is when i play heavy games.. the temprature goes above 60C and stabilizes at 65C.. aont once in a while it reaches 68C but comes down sooner
when i run benchmarking apps. the temprature went 70C and even reached 72C twice... will the device can handle such temprtures?
i know most of the processors are made to handle not more than 70C.. so im doubting this heat might burn my phone internals..
is it like this for all snapdragon 615 phones? or will it b fixed if they update to lollipop which is best suited for 64 bit processors?
or should i return the phone ( i have 6 days ) coz its defective??
please give me a reasonable reply some1.. i tried all forums and no reply.. please help me... i dont wanna regret buying this phone in the mean time i dont wanna regret returning this phone either so kindly help me
just went through this video.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoODiio7qFw same case for me to oso i guess its comon for every1
yes i m also facing this issue and this issue is really big to worry about. I don't think it will be fixed, its seems hardware problem....... Recording videos increase my phones temp. a lot, to 70-75°c. I m really disappointed to have yureka!:banghead:

hey yes the phone overheats but dont worry...it seems to b kinda like a software bug...its cyanogens second company cmon...march 26 is the date for lollipop upgrage for it...so i guess the update will make the fone reach it full functionality...n i saw videos of the fones glass break test and bending test...its got really tough hardware...so it can mostly handle it,...bt i sujjest you not to usee it too heavily till the next upgrade...HOPE THIS HELPED..plz click like if it helped
Over heating in yureka is a software issue and hope it will be solved in future updates. Till then you can try to keep your memory usage low and clear the background processes frequently to keep a check on the temp. Try to stop all the unnecessary process and services that are running in background. It will help a lot.
Just change performance mode to balance mode and heating problem is gone
