Charging issues with hot battery - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With this hot weather, my battery temp got to 53C. Even plugged in and saying charging, the battery still drained to 0. When home, the battery down to 34 it resumed charging. Any insight into this?

I live in a fairly cool place and mine gets up to 45 when charging. I suggest take all cases off and charge the phone near a fan or AC. If you cant leave it on a cool metal ssurface screen down and it should help also avoid using the phone while charging as it gets even hotter, maybe charge it overnight. its not your phones problem its just u live in a hot place.

Sounds like you have a process running in the background that is using up a lot of CPU cycles, causing the battery to drain at the same rate as it is charging. Then after doing this long enough, the battery gets hot and the overtemperature protection kicks in. I recommend checking which process is chewing up CPU cycles. You can use OS monitor to check in real time when it happens again.

I never had the.problem with my htc desire in similar heat. This has been the hottest day in 20 years so I'll see what happens tomorrow. Thanks all for your input.

I don't think the issue is caused by environment temperature. It is more of a charge/discharge issue where heat is generated from the inside of the phone from being overworked.

It can usually be solved by restarting the phone. Those running process would generally get killed. Then, start to charge your phone as usual.

Kinda rabdom but my batter just went to 67 C!!! It didnt let me charge!

Hi. I searched the forum for this problem. Experienced exactly the same thing. Just got an GSII three days ago. Experienced this a problem few minutes ago. Started charging my phone when I got home. It was at 36% at 46deg c. Then I talked to my friend on the phone. Checked back 30 mins later and it was at 33% at 53 deg c. It was the hottest the phone was ever. I panicked and unplugged it and shut the phone down. Turned it on 5 mins later and I just plugged it now.
Is my unit faulty?

BMS (Battery Management System) will not allow you to damage the battery by stopping you from recharging the battery at around 51 degree Celsius.
Are you using a ROM that uses Ninphetamine kernel?

I had this problem with one of ours (I bought 2 on the same day). Everyone told me it was apps etc., but they were identically configured and only one had the problem. After the 3rd time in 4 days when it did it (twice on charge and once when it wasn't on charge) I returned the phone, Samsung tested it and gave me a new one which is just fine. I believe it is a known but not well advertised fault - I've seen a few people with the problem posting on forums. In every case Samsung has given them a new phone and this has fixed the problem.
The phone runs red hot (too hot to hold for more than a few seconds) and sucks the life out of the battery even if it is charging - can drop from 75-80% to 15% in a few minutes.

90% battery after 12.5hrs!
I keep all the radios on (4G, 3G, wifi, bluetooth, gps) and brightness set to auto.
...
I couldn't do a screen shot from the phone cuz no root yet
Manl, that's insane how efficient the new dual cores are!
Only if you dont use the phone. Hence your display percentage so low. Mine went about 12.5 hours on battery with the display on for 3h total
That is one thing that I don't understand about this phone. Sometimes, i'll pull it off the charger and not touch it for 12 hours and the battery will still be in the 90's like you see above. Other times, i'll pull it off the charger and not touch it and it will just slowly drain and be into the 60's or 70's after 12 hours (and it's still sleeping). Don't get it. Signal is always good here too.
I get about 3 hours of battery, and I don't even use it for calls really.

After 7 or 8 hours I hit about 20-25%. With Juice Defender Ultimate I get about an hour more of battery. But thats still not enough for me hah.

I know why my battery life sucks. I use it way too much... Lol... Underclocking to 685mhz works pretty well and the phone isn't all that laggy. It is definitely bearable.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
The only days I get battery life anywhere close to that are the days that I am super busy and just don't touch my phone, except to answer a call or text. Days where I have too much time, I'll constantly be on my phone playing games, researching things, youtubing stuff, listening to music, and on those days I'll get 9-12 hours, which is still good in my book. It'll easily go over a day with very light usage. I can leave it off the charger at 100% over night, and it'll be at 97% or so when I wake up, but as soon as I get on that XDA app for 20 minutes I'll be down to 75%, lol. It's ironic that the XDA app is such a major battery drain, and that is one of the apps that I use the most.

If you get '3 hours of battery and don't use it for calls' then you either have a defective phone or lying. I do vallet and play Video's all day work 5PM-4AM and I never have to charge my phone although close to dead by the time I leave. 3 hours? I don't think so.
Fact 1: 9 times out of 10, if you don't use your phone at all, the battery will barely drain.
Fact 2: If you were to actually pick up and use the phone, you wouldn't get nearly as long out of the battery.
That's something that baffles me about people and keeping track of battery usage. They leave their phone sitting there over night and all day without touching it, and then have kittens when the battery percentage barely goes down. Well.. newsflash, that will happen if you don't use the phone at all. I guarantee that if you were to use the phone for any length of time the battery would drain a lot faster than that. So that isn't an accurate indicator of the phone's battery life.

Extended battery arrived 2600mah True Cell

So my extended battery and case arrived. I bought the only one on EBay advertised for the AT&T version. Today is my first day of use. When it arrived it was charged to 67%. One thing I will say is the phone feels 3 times as heavy as it used to but the case fits snugly. The battery reads for the I9100 Samsung galaxy s2. I will upload a pic as soon as I figure out how to do it from my phone.

nice, keep us posted...
Oh wow! How much was it? What does the outside of the back cover look like? Does it have the same texture/feel as the standard cover?
Definitely interested in how this turns out
Hello guys well so far so good. I am at 54% and the last time the battery was connected was exactly 8 he's ago. I have sent and recieved 74 data messages using group me. I have read a 102 page ebook today. And streamed 4 utube videos each about 10 min in length. I also streamed about 10 movie previews using flixster. I am almost certain that if I were using the oem battery the phone would be close to dead right about now. I am very very pleased with the battery life that I got today. I probably did more today with my phone then I have since I purchased it and to still have over 50 percent of battery life after 8 hours pleases me. What I did notice though is that the phone off of the charger it dropped down to 93 percent within an hour. And the reason why I noticed it is because I took it off of the charger to go to a meeting and when I came back I was like whoa. I have to wonder if it was truly charged to 100 percent because it has taken me some time to write this post and my screen has been on the entire time 10 min and I have only lost 1%. The case itself is plastic but it does not have the same texture as the original it is smooth but it is not slippery I am currently holding the phone with 2 fingers tilted at almost a 90 degree handle and its sticking. In any case it's easier to hold the phone now probably due to the added bulk. Once my Captivate charges I will take better pics of the case itself. I will also post a link to the item on ebay shortly. I believe I paid $24 or $26. Now of course my test is not scientific but again I consider myself am a heavy user and I am happy!!

There was one other I found on Ebay advertised as compatible with the I777. However, it was removed shortly after I sent a question asking if the battery was NFC capable and not cause the phone to boot loop with the USB cable plugged in. I guess it wasn't compatible after all...
So your new battery charges as normal? No issues with the cable plugged in?
I will do some research later to see if this battery has the nfc chip not sure how to detect that. I have not experienced any problems using my phone while plugged into the charger. Actually I play tank hero last night for about 15 minutes and the phone did run warm not extremely hot but it was definitely noticeable.

One thing that I failed to mention last night because I just realized it this morning. I am running Juice Defender Plus but I have been using it from day one with this one because I used it with the Captivate. My excitement got the better of me but again I used this app and the exact same settings when the OEM was installed in the my phone. My settings are for it to check the network every 5 minutes and stay awake for 2 minutes after checking then cut data network again for 5 minutes. Not that comfortable with playing with the rest of the settings because there are a lot more things you can do but that is probably helping me achieve greater than normal battery life. Right now it says that JD has increased my battery life by 1.53 times since it has been running. Over the weekend I will have to test the battery without JD so that those that don't use any of these kind of apps will get a true idea of what battery performance you should expect.

What setting do you use for this? I've turned off "Background Data" and have seen a huge increase in battery life so far. If I could get JD+ to automate this process on some kind of schedule, it would be great!
Wow the extended battery doubles the thickness of the phone... i've been getting good battery life after putting in CM7 and re-calibrating the battery..
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Are regular cases compatible with the extended battery?
Nevermind.
Love the idea of a bigger battery but I can't justify the bulk when I went 15 hour and only lost 40%... Granted it was light use, like checking XDA texting and small internet usage, but then again, that's with no jd with 1.4 mhz oc and full sync and everything. Cyanogen mod gave me the battery life I want without the bulk

Wow I wish I had the guts to install Cyanogen on my phone. I will try it on my captivate first. And you are right it nearly triples

JD Plus actually gives u the ability to change how often your phone turns off the data. 5,15,30,60 minute increments. Today I have not used my phone much at all. Unplugged 5 hours and 14 minutes ago and it has 94% remaining.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I was all set to buy an extended battery but no need now. 36 hours off charger with light use and 76% battery life remaining. JD+ and bloatware frozen did the trick. This is with background data on and syncing..

Battery is at 105.8 F

4.136V as well
What do I do, shut my phone off for a few mins? How do I prevent this and why does it get so high?
UnNamed ROM
During CPU use and/or charging, heat from the CPU also heats up the battery, however at those temps the battery is still safe to use, its not until 120F+ that I would be worried.
Also...a fully charged 3.7V cell phone batter should read 4.2V, so you are still with in the safe limits for that too.

105.8 is not high at all - not even remotely.
4.136v is not high either. Voltage goes up to 4.2 volts near the end of a charge cycle.
105.8ºF is 41ºC. Lithium batteries become damaged at temperatures in the 70ºC range. 158ºF. As stated, charging heats the battery some, and discharging heats the battery some. Provided the battery voltage is less than 4.2V and greater than about 3.1V, this kind of temperature is not a problem.
I noticed mine doing something similar a couple times over the past few days. I would use it for a few minutes to play a game or watch a video, then close that app. The phone would remain extremely hot to the touch and eat through my battery like crazy. After about 15 minutes of it still hot the first time, I went in and killed the entire process for the app I had been using. Then waited for another 30-45 minutes for it to cool off, but it stayed hot as hell. I had to power off the phone completely and it cooled off very quickly.
The second time it happened, I don't remember doing or playing anything graphic/cpu intensive. Just went and plugged in the phone to charge while I slept. I woke up and it was doing the same thing where it was insanely hot to the touch. I left it unplugged for about 30 minutes and it stayed hot. I went in an powered off again and it was cool in under a minute.
So far this has only happened twice in the entire month I have had/used the phone. I remember someone else reporting similar issues before in a different thread as well, but couldn't find it again. I didn't know I could pull the battery's temp so I don't have that info from when it happened. Where did you find that temp? I'll post it the next time it happens. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this other than charging heating up the battery?
*#0228# in your dialer.
Is your phone stock?
Thanks for the code. I'm running UnNamed 1.2.0 at the moment. I might try upgrading to the latest 1.3.1 of it to see if that helps.
I had 44% left on my battery, ran the battery stats code you provided, hit back button, and now the battery shows 16% left. Not sure how that happened in the 10 seconds it took to read the temp.
I'll post the temp when it starts acting screwy again though.
What is your voltage and can you post a screenshot of your battery stats graph? Also if you use setCPU, what profiles do you use.
Current voltage is 3950mV and temp is 36*C. This is under normal operation while charging. I don't use setCPU or do any OC/UV. I am trying to upload a SS of the graph through the app on my phone, but it just keeps saying "Receiving from server" every time I hit submit and then staying at the reply screen. I'll try again once I get home from work.
SS is below.

Do a full charge, at 4.2v of charge pull the battery and let the phone sit there for a few minutes, then plug the phone back in, use BetterBatteryStats to register partial wakelocks and fix things as necessary.
Hi, I'm getting the same issue with my battery! It just gets drained and my phone gets too hot! Im lookin at the temperature and it says 39C°… please advice

39 celcius is not too hot. Feel free to freak out at 50° and up.
Though DANG your battery went down fast. What were you doing?

I just had mine drop from 38% to 16% after this as well. This is really screwy. I don't know what's going on but my battery %'s are all over the place when I reboot.
[EDIT] I forgot to come back and mention that after the battery dropped to 16%, it slowly climbed up to around 22% before coming back down again. No reboots or anything, just after waking it up a few times from sleep.

4.1.2 and S3 battery life is getting worse

I don't know what's going on with this phone now. Look at how low the use is!?

Is this NetworkLocationLocator?
Same

My phone lost 21% battery over night in 9 hours. Network location locator kept the phone awake for nearly 2 hours. I'm guessing its something to do with Google now.
Yes Google now eats my battery juice like a boss.

just disable Google Now feature and u'll see the difference .. it eats about 50% of the battery with the real time update coupons or what's so called ...

Viber is known to keeping phone awake by invoking mediaserver to keep scanning for files in phone, not just that, it will keep wifi on all the time. You need to go to the setting inside the viber app to turn it off and remember to log out of the app after using it. My recommend is remove viber completely.

Viber has only been on a day. It's a temp app for 2 weeks while my friends are away in Thailand.
I think Google now is the battery killer. Since I turned that on my battery has been awful.

When it reaches to 100%, in reality it's not 100% charged, you have to leave it charging a few more minutes

3G networks are a major battery drain in every phone out there...
Don't understand why they don't make more 3G efficient chips

This is not about 4.1.2 but about my phone in general. i put the software on there just so people know.
Also it wont charge to 100% no matter what i do both my batteries only charge now to 96% and 93% i think they are both deteriorating.
i think my battery drain has to do with Google now. i have turned it off to see the difference
I have fast dormacy on, wifi set to static and network to gsm for best results
Some networks don't have fast dormacy though so download the fast dormacy app and an app called network signal info and try different settings.
Bad signal and wrong settings is cause of most battery loss
When charging it's best to kill tasks with task killer

why blaming on 4.1.2 LEAK JellyBean when it self haven't officially announce.. can't wait to complain until it finalize?
online apps + 3G/mobile data = battery drain, because most online required apps have permission to use mobile data anytime, anywhere, unless we switch of the mobile data..

Battery draining excessively fast

Yesterday I received my new LG G2 model D802 and the battery didn't last more than 6 hours:

It's normal? No root and stock ROM.
Any solution?
No not normal, but give it a week and see how it does then

Yeah, give it a few cycle of charges & see.

Install GSAM to narrow down what is causing the drain. What do you have synced?
That's not normal. After i bought mine it gone over 2hrs of screen time and 10hrs stand by. So clearly something is wrong here....

your image link is broken, and i can almost say its normal as my phone didnt last more than 8 ours on the first charge with about 4 hours screen on time. but just yesterday after about 11 days! i got about 30 hours of uptime on a single charge with 3.5 hours of screen on time on the battery, it takes some time to settle down the device ! and also note that i charged my phone from 15% to 80% (as some said not to fully charge or discharge the battery ) and just dayb4 i charged it to 100 % (waited for like 15 more minutes after thefull charge notification was shown) and then took it off charge and got this battery backup! so its better to keep it charging in such a way hope this is helpful to you
Thanks for the replies! Today I charged the phone 2 times. First charge, after 2 hours of screen, my phone was at 50%, then I have charged it again to 100% and now, this is the result:
It's better than yesterday but not enough in my opinion. With only 5 hours of usage, battery dropped down less of the 50%.
Are you on wifi all day? If so, what type of wireless network are you connected to? At home my battery lasts all day and is still at 75% at the end of the day, however at work with a different wireless network I'm at 50% by lunch. Looking at the battery stats at work my phone is almost always awake and is due to wlan_awake.
Get a replacement that is really bad

Hope this screenshots helps:
My router is an ovislink evo w300ar 11n. What I noticed is that when the phone is fully charged takes a lot to down from 100% to 99%, but after 99%, downs 1% every ~6-8 minutes.
Something is definitely not right with your phone. Unless you are a heavy phone user, the battery should not be draining this fast.
Try uninstalling any recent apps & see. Also disable sync & see if it improves.

Install greenify and hibernate Dropbox (can be done without root). I also have the power manager service which is really annoying and I haven't figured it out yet

You can go into task manager press the menu button and go to stop services. From here stop everything you don't regularly use especially Facebook I believe it has over 30 services attached to it. This just tells the phone not to update what you haven't opened.

Try disabling fast dormancy, that helped my battery life a lot.
