overheating - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
I bought my galaxy s couple of months ago. My phone is getting overheated while charging. The temp goes over 56 C while charging. I recently did voodoo lagfix. Is my overheating issue due to this or is it normal for temp to reach this high?

It is completely normal. All HTC and Samsung Android devices get hot under the collar when they are getting charged. As far as I am aware, all electronic devices with long life battery get hot when they get charged.

Download SGS Tools from the market, click apply script, then click clean_thumb_db.txt
Also, download setCPU, set your lowest clock speed to 100 with a conservative setting.
That may help a bit.

Dont charge ur through usb . It get unbelievably hot

@OP,
Don't worry, there is a built in safety mechanism that will stop charging when it reached the limit. The limit is 60 deg Celsius, btw.

I have voodoo lagfix and now I'm charging via USB my temp is just 38 C with wifi/sync on.

Ya I did lagfix n now temp never goes over 50.

I've seen that advice many places, including when i just installed HC's Speedmod Kernel, but when i download SGS tools (SGS Toolbox, i had SGS tools some time ago, but now it's gone, but Toolbox have the same icon, så i THINK it's the same) there's no "Apply Script" option, can i download it from some site?.. :O

I downloaded my firmware from romkitchen.org. There u can get sgs toolbox. U could also make ur own custom from there.

Zio Overclocking Question

Well iv had my Zio for a few months now and even with the 2.2 Update sometimes it seems to slow down and stutter.
I have been doing some research on Rooting my phone to get wifi tethering and the ability overclock my phone for better performance.
Now so far the Zio community on here seems to be very small so i dont expect an answer very fast so here is my question.
Has anyone with a Zio Managed to root there phone and overclock it? im not talking about some CRAZY overclock. im thinking in the 50-100MHz range. if so how has the performance increased? or has the performance Decreased? how is the battery life?
I have attempted such by manually editing some CPU files. I was able to successfully adjust the governor and changed from the stock 95% to 100% CPU threashold.

So far I would say its a little faster. I definitely see a difference when opening apps and especially with the 2.3 launcher from the market.

Could you list where the CPU files are located m8?

If your phone is rooted you can use a number of overclock apps, but they use parameters based on te phone the zip is 122.88 to 600 mhz

@matrix
What were your exact editing lines? I forgot which thread it was where you answered this question before.
I basically changed the governor to performance and threashold too 100. Actually overclocking the ZIO is giving me trouble when I try to go higher than 600000
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Correction. Governor must be set to on demand to edit the threashold.

You wont be able to get true over clocking until theres been kernel source released. Has that happened yet? New to this device.
If so, and someone is willing to do something with adb, I can work on getting an overclock kernel for you guys, but I wont be able to test it myself so it could be a bit dangerous.
As long as it isn't clocked any faster than 6.5 or 7... 7 would be risky.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
You cannot over clock the Zio at the moment. The Kernel does not support it. You can use an app to set it to 600mhz all the time. It usually stays at 600mhz on its on.

which is why I said if we had kernel source, I would work on it for you guys. Keep an eye out for it.
Once we ave source, if one of you can pull your current config for me, which i'll explain once its available, it shouldn't be too hard to clock up a little.

Of course. Wouldn't let that go by unnoticed.
There is a overclock widget available that works great. When screen is locked it downclocks to what ever you set it too. Once unlocked it goes to 600 MHz.

but im gonna try and bump that 600 number up a little bit. Just need source code.
Tried to overclock witb droid. Fixed some permissions with clockwork it opened and ran just like setcpu. The app said the overclock module couldn't be opened because my device wasn't listed. Obviously.
Kyo M6000 Rooted with NoAds or Bloatware.
yeah the module is gonna be device specific.
I can't wait to see what this phone can do overclocked!
I had the Droid Incredible, iPhone 3G and neither could play the videos that I encoded for the ZIO without stuttering. The ZIO is playing the video files without stuttering with default player!
MP4/H.264/AVC/AAC LC
Video
800x480/4:3/29.97/1536
Audio
48100/2/160
I was just testing these settings on full movies just to see how bad the ZIO would stutter, to my surprise it played those as if it wanted more!
I will not keep those settings, as a full movie is over 1.5GB!
I might keep the video settings and use different audio settings, because the quality of the videos kick major butt!
I will be the beta tester for your Overclocking kernel option94!
I think it would do 750Mhz no problems, which would make this phone a beast! I wonder what the video sub system is in this unit?

[Q] Battery life - my sisters I9000

Guys, my sister has had her I9000 for a good few months now and everything was fine until recently.
She phoned me (knowing I like my phones) saying her battery life had become really poor over a couple days.
So I took the phone off her and updated it with Kies, so now it's running the latest Kies Gingerbread for that phone. I should point out it is not rooted, completely stock.
I noticed some crummy looking app's like Android Anti-Virus and Task Killer so removed them hoping one of them was acting the goat.......everything seemed to be going good until yesterday and she charged the phone all night until 8am and when it came to around 2pm the phone was flashing up with low battery alert. She said she had used twitter a little and browsed on the internet a while.
I have told her to get CPU Spy and look if the phone is going into deep sleep, yesterday it had 0% deep sleep and today it is saying 70% deep sleep even though the battery only lasted 6 hours before low battery warning...
Any ideas what I can do to track down where the problem is? Would she see better battery with ICS or a custom GB ROM?
Mine did this on stock ROM luckily mine lagged when I went into battery use it was Samsung app push update service or something like that but thanks to the lag it showed sleep lock before it shower that service I uninstalled then it could go back into deep sleep

it will root your device and install clockwork mod, should fix the battery issues though. Try flashing the CF root kernel via odin. Theres a tutorial in the thread.
After the odin flash, you can use titanium app for remove apps or system apps unnecessary

battery draining drastically

I have been using TheMyth Basic rom and getting very low battery backup. even with data mode off and underclocked at min122-max480 mhz, the phone gives just 3 hours of music playback. Is the battery faulty or poorly calibrated? Help!!
Screenshot is when i used Whatsapp for almost 2 hours...n it was almost low :/

Check using CPU Spy to see if you even have deep sleep when idle (not doing anything of course)

Try this...
1. Reduce your Screen Brightness.
2. Wipe battery status through CWM.
3. Uninstall any bloatware.
4. Use 2G (GSM Only) networks.
5. Flash another rom(at last...).
Then your average batterylife will increase.

[Q] THE SOLUTION to poor battery life

This is getting really annoying... battery gets charged to 100%, drops slowly then after <50% the phone starts to get hot and just start dying rather quick. I have changed batteries, actually bought a new one - still having the prob. I think i know the culprit but not sure how to attack it. Unfortunately because of my post count, i can't upload a link to the screenshot
!!! HELP !!! :crying:
Well...tell us what u think the culprit is, plz.
And more info from ya would help.
What Rom are u running, Overclocking, Undervolting, etc. Thx.

I'm running ParanoidAndroid v.2.50 | Devil Kernel 3.0.31 | Modem I9000ZSJPG (which is rumored to give excellent battery life)
No overclocking or undervolting - don't really mess with those things.
Anyway, when i check battery usage "Media" always use the most when i notice the phone start loosing battery life n running hot. There is a time when i saw Media at 88% while everything incl. screen was less than 20%.
...maybe a rogue app or something syncing constantly ??

highly doubt it... even after flashing and letting the phone sit idle wit no apps install - i get the same prob :/
You probably have com.Android.Media process running all the time..
I had the same with all recent kernels until I have reformatted my both SD cards internal and external.
Media scanner should be out of running processes after five minutes after boot.
I check them via terminal from :
top -m 10
command
Or
busybox top
In five minutes after boot I have almost zero CPU usage from top statistics
Hope it could help you

are you running on power save mode or apps like juice defender ?
if not.. are you rooted? if yes try set cpu app or no frills cpu and change the governer to performance

Our phones are designed in such a way that the our phone's processor will run at more speed only when it is necessary..there are many reasons main reasons being
1) More speed=more battery consumption
2) More speed=more heat generated..continuosly if the processor is running @ max speed, more heat will b generated & it may harm your phone.
So, it is always good if the phone is running at low speeds for smaller processes & if it goes to deep sleep when u lock ur phone's screen..
200 is good. I even want my note to automatically go into to deep sleep everytime I press the power key.
