I have had my device for 8 months without issues. Just 5 days ago it started overheating out of nowhere. Temperature can rise from 31 to 47°C between just a minute when I'm on a call. This comes with a huge battery drain during these spikes. Similar thing happens when I'm downloading or doing any network intensive activity. I used to get 7-8hrs SOT now I can barely get 3hrs.
When I switch to Wifi I don't experience this temperature spike and battery drain when I'm downloading stuff.
The heat is at topmost part, around the camera areas.
I have full LTE connectivity
Any help?
I'm on stock and I don't have any apps apart those downloaded from the playstore.
That means you can't help in any way.
Thanks
Never heard of this before. Try setting network mode to lte only. Go to dialpad and enter *#*#4636#*#*. Select phone information 1. Then under "set preferred network type" select lte only. Hope this solves it.
You can also change the sim to slot 2 and see if the issue persists.

I've done exactly that but still. The attached image shows the power draw when making a call.
I think it's a problem with the modem although I'm not sure. WiFi connection however is totally different, it doesn't spike up temps and battery drainage.
I have the exactly same problem.
What do you think might be the problem?
i have same issue
U have few options
1.root ur phone to a different os other than miui.
2.buy a phone fan cooler.
3.buy and expensive phone like Samsung s22ultra or the likes that have no overheating complains .
4. Wait for 5 years because a specific company is making ssd cooling technology and will implement that in phones in the near future . Then buy these phones.
Frustrated android user indeed .
Thanks for your suggestions
i found out that gallery is making these battery dragining and overheating problems.
SOLUTION: FORCE STOP gallery if your are non rooted user like me and use google photos instead.
BTW: they didnt fixed it with miui 14
I got my F3 ten months, and never experienced this issue.
I would suggest trying the following steps.
1: Go to Developer options.
2: Scroll down to Apps heading
3: Check background Process Limit. By default Standard will be selected.
4: Change it to either Atmost 1 Process at a time OR 2 process at a time.
I cant guarantee that the steps above will solve your problem but it fixed mine.
Try it and let us know if that helped.

While I own an international unlocked version of the S2, i assume the Sprint version must be very similar. After countless hours of trying to figure it out, this is what i discovered and solved my battery draining issue (it's been two months with no problems at all) i get 4 to 5 hrs display time and it lasts me all day. I was on stock 2.3.3 and recently upgraded to 2.3.4. with same results. The following tips are things i did prior to rooting, and they solved my battery drain issue.
1. Anything that tracks location is a battery drainer and i discovered that i was using wireless networks for location (it's also not that accurate) and it was the biggest culprit, so i disabled it and now i use gps (more accurate) as needed and turn it off when done. If you use Google maps with google latitude enabled, sign out of latitude when done using it.
2. App killers use more battery than saving it by closing apps and processes that run in backgroung that will automatically open right back again. Stay away from them.
3. Some apps if left in memory will constantly cause cpu spikes (suspend and events/0), in my case it was Facebook and Xfinity apps. So i close all active apps in task manager. Don't really clear ram, just close active apps.
4. Use Watchdog from Market to track any apps that might be using a lot of cpu.
5.Enabling Back up my data also drained my battery, so i disable it.
Hopes this helps...

While I can't state for certain that it's causing any extra battery drain, Carrier IQ is hooking into the location service, and every time your location changes, grokking your latitude, longitude, accuracy, and a timestamp. This is new to the Epic Touch.
I constantly have alerts for suspend and event/0 in watchdog. In the stock task manager there really isnt much running to kill. It's driving me nuts. haha My battery life isnt horrible but I think it could be better..

Hello, I've got a weird error that I don't even know how to begin tracking down. Not sure if this is an ICS issue, an app issue, or a device (hardware) issue.
Several times now, I get a problem were, after a reboot, all the text on my home screen - names for apps and text within widgets is mangled somehow. Like pixels inverted, or boxed over, etc. (see screenshot)

The first couple of times this happened, a single reboot made it go away. However with my latest occurrence, I've rebooted several times without a fix.
EDIT: It seems like my data connection may also require examination? Since on the 3rd or 4th reboot I was in my office with a solid WiFi connection (versus previous reboots I was in my car en-route), the problem has now gone away again.
My initial reboot this morning was as a quick-fix attempt at an absent data connection. Guess I'm off to research these "radios" everyone keeps on about...
EDIT 2: Ok, perhaps ignore the above. After a reboot made this go away, it has now come back spontaneously (i.e. just noticed it sitting in the cradle with the error again - no reboot this time.) CRUUUUD.
Are you using a custom Kernel? Some 'Overclock' the GPU to 512MHz, while Stock is 384MHz. Some devices can't handle the increase and cause screen artifacts. Post your Kernel details and I'm sure someone will point you in the direction of another Kernel if this is the case.
Not that I know of - should be all stock, since I haven't rooted or unlocked anything yet (just got the phone a couple of weeks ago).
Thanks for the help.
Stock launcher? Or using nova/apex etc?

Hi,
Another thread...:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646985
Nothing related to GPU overclock...just about this possibility...
Looking in different threads in Q&A/General.
If you are using the stock launcher...I think I saw a topic with this weird issue with the stock launcher...but I can not find it anymore
In any case clear data/cache of your current launcher,reboot and see...If you're on another launcher than stock,reinstall...
I speak only for the launcher issue.
Yep, stock launcher. Thanks for the other thread.
Seems to be at bay now. Will keep an eye on it.
Hey just thought I'd post this here and see if anyone else is having similar problems. I updated to the latest firmware a few weeks ago and ever since then my phone is dead after only 6ish hours with pretty average use in between. My battery stats are pointing towards the Google plus app as being the culprit so I force close it but it obviously keeps restarting.
Before the update I was able to go over a day before it would go completely flat.
Here's a screen grab of my battery stats, anyone have any ideas on what I can do to sort this out?

Oh and I forgot to mention, the phone is completely stock unrooted, locked boot loader etc.
Cheers.
Maybe try and uninstall updates to Google+ and reinstall. I had a problem after updating to 4.2.1 where Google+ kept syncing and it was solved this way.
Edit: Forgot to mention, my phone is stock with unlocked bootloader.
Cheers, I'll give that a go and see how it works out.
I just took my phone off the charger not long ago. Will post another screenshot when it's been on battery for a while, should give you a better idea of reasonable ratios.
Worst comes to worst, wipe everything (including SD) and start over. You could have some spooky ghost files and some cobwebs all up in your GNex!
My 4.2 Experience
i have been trying several 4.2 roms and with all of them i was getting the worst battery and also a very strange bug or at least i think it was a bug :silly: since i was using my phone normally and then all of the sudden the screen goes black but the phone still funtional it wasnt a SOD for example i was playing a game and then boom black and the sound vibration and everything all was keep on working i the end i decided to go back to CNA
Took another screenshot. I haven't used my phone so much today, but what you're seeing, OP, is definitely not normal.
I uninstalled Extended Controls. Battery stats for the app was ridiculous if the system app showed correctly. If I'm lucky I'll notice improved battery life now
While messing around with the hidden menus, I turned on PRX/DRX measurement display , under RF -> ANT Setting menu. There seems to be no way to turn the option off again.
Can this have any impact on battery life / performances? Is there a way to disable it? If i click again on the PRX/DRX ON button, it reboots the phone but the option stays ON.

I cant find a clear answer what this is for some say fm radio others say its how gear talks wi5h the fone. I hate to make an example here thought this is why we dont touch settings we dont know about. U hqve no clue what it does and for all u no u coulda wiped ure phone. This is a big no no but enough of that u way no matter how many times u click it stays on. Only other way would to restore ure backup or it may been on in the first place. Or a factory reset if no backups
you may look into ant+ its part of the system it may give you more of an idea ive never messed with it im pretty sure i got it debloated outa mine

ANT+ seems to be a communication protocol for data exchange between smartphons and various types of sensors.
On the other hand, "ANT settings", in the hidden menu context, seems to stand for ANTenna settings...
Did some research and I'm starting to figure it out a little bit.
PRX should be "primary data receive" while DRX is "diversity data receive" (it could also mean "Discontinuous reception" ....). Both have to do with LTE-WCDMA (?).
I'm not into telecom engineering, but I guess having both ON it's the way it's meant to be.
What is strange, is the menu behaviour : initially showing nothing, then apparently enabling both, and now allowing to turn off either one function or the other but not both at the same time.
For the time being, I see no anomalous behaviour or battery drain.
Bottom line : better not to tamper with it, I concur. But it would be nice to know what exactly PRX/DRX means , and if the menu is merely a tool for reading network performances ("lte ml1 serving cell measurement") or it actually enables/disables antenna features.
PRX is primary data receive signal.
DRX is diversity data receive signal.
You can guess the rest of it....

Got it too last night. Ran guardians, still 10 percent drain over night (with sleep mode on). Was hoping the first update would habe some serious improvement for the overall terrible energy management.
Edit: exynos Europe
Same here...

10 percent drain over night??? something is weird bro maybe you have to hard reset your phone or check the apps that running in the background!

No no, this is normal for Exynos, it's an issue with Wi-Fi deep sleep

Have the same issue. However the performance and battery life are better on the new update for me. The only issue is the battery drain with WiFi
So. The firmware on this is S22 rushed up.
Dont think I'll have a samsung after this mess.
Its a shame no android can run as long as an iphone in standby. Probably somebody is curious what we do and where we are all the time
Dont think there is anything wrong with the battery inside this phone.
1. Wifi wakelocks - connected or not (not deep sleep, like mentioned above)
2. Constant location from systemui/gms search every few minutes (huge drain)
Discovered this using appops-shizuku / battery historian / betterbatterystats.
Recently reset the phone to test there is nothing else from my side triggering this. Previous I tried to debloat. No dice
Wifi gps and AOD off, is the only usable way atm for me without root.
Remembering the days of android 5 in 2022
Anybody else figured out the second part? Which system app makes the gps requests.
My problem is LTE consumption in standby (Exynos)
