Galaxy s over heating?

Hi guys
While I was using my phone this morning my phone's temperature showed 54 degree Celsius..i checked it out by pressing "*#0228#". Is this normal? Or should I should I talk to samsung to replace it?

Normal, our temp reading is from the cpu, most other phones read from the battery

Thanks mate..And.. While my phone was on charge..i used about 5 mins.. Battery level dropped from 58% to 56% Instead of charging..i thought it was related to the over heat.. Now you said its normal.. It may be from some other problem then..

Display malfunction

Hi guys,
Maybe some of you have experienced this before, when I put my note away the screen of it gets lit up as if there was an app keeping it from sleep mode. But this happens even right after I have terminated all apps and processes. So technically barely anything runs. I think it might be a software issue? Any ideas please?

Install the CPU spy.apk (Play Market). This app will tell you if your phone is in deep sleep.
can u post the battery stats
open your battery, wait 10 seconds, reassemble and turn it back on... if you're still facing the problem, install and run CPU Spy from Play Store and see which app/service is keeping you phone from sleeping and uninstall that.
It's probably a kernel wakelock
Will try the CPU spy application now. Will post my findings.

How exactly is this app going to tell me which app is keeping my phone awake? Don't see such a list of them just frequencies.

Should I be looking at these processes that are possibly waking my phone up? So far I don't see how this app is solving my problem.
Thanks so much

this l2_hsic wkelock is mainly caused by unplugging the charger without unlocking the lock screen. or unplugging when the screen is black.
Its a known bug
shutdown ur phone., pull out battery, wait for 10 secs., reinsert and reboot. The wkelock should be gone. test again with betterbatterystats

Extreme battery drain

Battery doesn't last with me for a whole day with 3 hours and a half of screen usage
On cm7
Same with new jellybean rom unofficial CM10
What could be causing that??

none of these custom ROM are optimized for battery.. i have tried a couple of them..
you can give 'Easy battery saver' from google play a shot.. it is a good tool and can help you in optimizing the battery..
BTW what do you primarily use your phone for?

Not 5% for that short period of time.
Something is seriously wrong dude, download betterbatterystats and run it a bit and see what drains so much. Either your battery is bad or you have some app that drains a lot battery in background.
Can someone please guide me on how to use betterbatterystats?? I installed it but I don't know how to make it work :s

Go uninstall facebook.
it made my incredible S last like, 3 hours longer
and my nexus 7 battery life went from 3 days to 4 days
3.5 hours of screen on time is a lot, id say at almost lasting a whole day you're doing pretty well?

Battery problem.

My phone is consuming too much battery power.
I will give you picture and tell me if this consumption is normal if not tell me why am I getting this awkward battery problem.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
I think thats normal since you surf the net much or you can try read the thread at the galaxy SIII mini general forum about the latest kernel for better battery life.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Thanks but still.
I used to surf on my old xperia 2 hours and battery would be 90%

theres no real way of telling what is draining your battery unless you're rooted and have Better battery stats
Looks like I'm going to root my device. Can someone please give easy way to root it..

uhmmm, is there any other official good rom except cm?
Try benz rom. It has good battery life and performance.

You can give it a try to a new rom if you have rooted your device, if you haven't you can install juicedefender from google play to optimize your battery life and optimize your time while surfing the web with chrome.

I was having the same issue, but I tried an Homeversion that has battery saver http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487526, it is amazing I am getting 20 hrs aprox. you should give it a try!
Provide a prove before you tell such things

With omniswitch activated my battery stands at least 24h,,,but when i accidently put it off,,,my battery suddenly stands 48 h and the phone consumed only 45% in 24 hours.Is this convincing enough!!! And by the way,the using mode is the same in both cases.

And i'm speaking about omniswitch,, not about omnirom
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
In many cases that's pure coincidence.
I mean - do you see it appearing in battery stats?
It's pretty much impossible for an app that doesn't hold wakelocks to have any significant effect on battery life.
