So warm up check is something you can do the moment you get the phone (or at least it was like this with the Sensation).
Can someone that has already received the phone comment if the phone has a warm up problem while playing games or web-browsing etc?
(I know most of the phones warm up, the question is if it's fine or if it's becoming an oven like the early versions of the Sensation)
Been toying with it for about an hour now, battery just about to die so I can charge properly. No heating issues what so ever. It is as cool as ice tbh. I've played Glowball a bit and the screen has obviously been on for an hour now, 6% battery left, started with 27. Wifi on, data on, heavy game on. It does NOT heat up and Glowball runs perfectly smooth for me. I will be doing more tests in a day or 2.

Hey y'all, I've been seeing a strange thing on my SGS2 recently with Words With Friends: It totally kills the battery.
I just recently wiped my phone and put in VillainRom 1.1 with CF-Root kernel and charged up my phone. I then randomly checked words with friends and played a few words.
Results:

In 4 minutes and a half, it pulled 43% total battery use from a total uptime of just under 40 minutes.
Anyone else seen this happening with WwF ?
I've noticed Words with Friends taking up a lot of battery whenever I use it, so your not alone on this.
Yes i've noticed it too. it uses 100% cpu in one of the 2 cores while the game is open.

You're definitely not alone and I tried the application on both of my phones (Captivate and S II) and all I can tell you is that words with friends drains the battery like mad.
Furthermore, the app hasn't been optimized for dual core processor handsets yet (as it is the case with most apps). When developers start optimizing their apps for dual core processors we should definitely see an increase in battery life as optimized apps can utilize the two cores more efficiently.
Any fix for this yet? It's killing both mine and my wife's SgSII's, but my desire Z is fine.
Biggest priority for the wife is WwF so she's not happy about the battery usage! Lol
lol it's funny i played this with the gf yesterday and it killed my battery as well. i knew immediately it was the culprit
Is it normal for the back of the phone (around camera) and the screen to get warm when using the phone?
Nothing strange in battery stats, I guess.

see the same under load, so yup sounds normal.
I've not had an android phone that didn't get warm while I was using it and I'm on my 4th one now.

Mine was a bit warm as well last night but I was downloading over 4G, texting, browsing and navigation..
But after I stopped it cooled down in like a minute or so.
My Nexus One got RIDICULOUSLY hot during navigation ALONE. Then the touchscreen would go haywire.
Any phones will tend to get warm during use. And looking at your screenshot, that's a normal load. Nothing to worry about.
I did a Google search for the same problem and got to this thread. I just got my Nexus yesterday and the top right hand side of the phone (I'm assuming that's where the Wi-Fi antenna is) got quite hot about 20 minutes into activating my device.
My phone downloaded about 600mb worth data over that period (downloading apps from the Market) so I assume that was the issue and didn't know if the phone was supposed to get this hot. I've been using the wi-fi sparingly since (no heavy data download) and it is not that hot now. Just wanted to share.
Mine also gets warm there, I assume it has alot to do with the modem as even if my screen is off and the phone is just acting as a hotspot, that area gets fairly warm.
I remember my Nexus S get warm sometimes, but very rarely and there was always a good reason for that (heavy downloading, buggy ROM, buggy app in some loop).
Thanks for the replies!
What the heck killed my battery? This is with the extended battery and I started from a full charge after flashing a new rom and clearing battery stats..
I turned off all connections, and turned off sync.. Sat the phone down and went to bed after about an hour of web surfing.. I went to bed with 70% left and woke up 6 hours later with 37%...

Its all in the last screenshot. Keep awake time is huge. That's the bug if I had to guess.

That keep awake time is normal, nothing strange there...
Your story of browseing for an hour then going to sleep for 6 hours doesnt match your batteries' graph.
According to your story, there should have been a sharp decline from browsing web since the screen would be sucking the power, then a very slight decline from being idle, something was either running in the background (facebook maybe, it has a high % of usage) who knows?
Yeah idk.. If you look at when wifi was on that was when I was browsing.. Then after that there is a steep decline which doesn't make sense to me.. I don't think it was Facebook or anything because all data/sync was off...
I know it takes a day or two for a new rom to settle in but I certainly wouldn't think it would have that large of an impact

I read somewhere that there is/was a bug where after a reboot Google talk or maybe google+ launches the camera in the background which keeps running until you manually open the camera app and close it. I believe I read it some where on Franco's kernel post. Not sure if the bug is still there and if it's the culprit here, but might be worth investigating.
So I charge my phone all night, take it off the charger to go to work at 6am by 3pm my battery is at about 8 percent. Here is where it gets funny, if I turn the phone off then back on I have about 59%. How does that happen

Sorcery. That's how.
I'm guessing the reason your battery gets drained so quickly is because of the poor network coverage.
Could you also provide a screenshot of the apps/programs/hardware that have drained your battery? By that I mean the screen you see after hitting battery under settings.
The fact that it goes up so much after a reboot is very weird indeed. It usually happens the other way around with mine, the battery level drops about 15% for me after a reboot, which I also find weird.
I have had the same expierence with my phone as well. Dont understand it either.
I suggest you use a battery calibration app or s-off/root and install Clockwork Mod recovery to clear your battery stats and run a few cycles. Your phone doesn't know where full is and can't detect it as well as we'd like.

I think you need a battery calibration. Before i calibrated mine would drop 10-15% sometimes but now it is good. I would also add expect a small margin of error if you were using your phone heavily and it is warm/hot and you reboot. Some people report, myself included, that you might see a slight spike after your phone cools down.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
I dont know if its normal or not but my touch's battery is always around 35 degree celsius when idle and when i am using the phone it goes up to 40-42 degrees. Is it normal?
had a bad batt

I brought my phone into sprint because the back of the phone was super hot and found out that some of the stock battle do heat up so they replacse it for me and no problems since. I now have an extended Matt and have no problems at all stays nice and cool, i'll try to post a screen shot of the Matt I'm using .

A lot of people have reported this - usually rebooting and keeping it out of the sun (that REALLY heats it up!) will help keep it cool. I've also found that turning off the 3G/4G radios when I'm not using it helps - but that's just my personal experience.
THe sun heats it up a lot. I have seen that/. Sometimes when I reboot the battery jumps down about 15-20% at times. so prefer not to reboot
hot batt
Agreed. When I turn off 3G, it tends to help a lot. Also, keeping it out of the sun.
Well, The problem finished after i flashed a custom rom. Now it never goes above 36 degrees.
The mods can close this thread now.
Thanx
