[Q] Galaxy SII with stock 4.0.3 ICS ROM unusually hot

---

Hi Guys,

I installed the new ICS ROM (4.0.3) ROM with KIES a few days ago. What I have noticed, that certain tasks like taking photos, browsing photos and internet make the phone unusually hot, more like overheating especially around the camera part. I noticed the same thing when the phone plugged into the computer and the KIES is running. I never noticed any of this with the 2.3.5 ROM before. Has anyone noticed something like this with the new ICS ROM? It very annoying, and only restarting the phone solves the problem. Simply closing the programs with the task manager not.

Thanks and have a good day!

You should keep an eye on the task manager when it happens, in my case it was a app that was crashed in the background, but kept running, maxed out the Cpu usage, got really hot and drained the battery quickly.
Get your battery out for a few secs for a reset, and check task manager when it occurs again.

Hey there,

Thanks for the reply. I noticed, that it happens, anytime when I start browsing photos.It gets very hot. Even after restarting the phone. I never had this issue with the 2.3.5 stock rom. I'm thinking to put it back. I can't really see the advantages of using ICS, when I have more problems with it

try reflashing
try some other modem
try cyanogenmod 9 beta
go back to GB if all fails

The thing is that Samsung f*cked up the ICS release.
I have also encountered my phone getting very hot and draining massive battery.
This may be a kernel problem.
Try another custom Rom.

i noticed that too when i upgraded to ICS
so i installed this ROM : Resurection Remix v1.0

the problem went away, and phone is alot smoother now

try it.

The same thing with me. I asked a lot of questions in a lot of forums, i even tried diferent custom roms (omega etc) but i still have the problem. If somebody have tried the Ressurection remix rom must tell us if the problem insists
