Help Serious overheating issue

[pcbms]

Over the last day my phone has started to get very hot when connected to the internet - the heat seems to start in the top left hand corner of the phone and then spread - I'm running kf3 which i've been running for weeks without problems - anyone any ideas to help here?

All I can suggest is a firmware flash. Kg5 is what I use and only heats up for gps use

A firmware update might be your only option I'm afraid. I had heat issues with my SGS2 and flashed it to KG6 the first time that pretty much solved the problem for me. The firmware you are running is old, there is a newer official firmware KG5. If you think flashing to a newer firmware might be an option then head over to "All things root" at the top of the SGS2 forum, there you will find all the info you need. Post back and let us know how you get on either way.

strange, my phone only heated up on KE1.. ithink even by KE7 it was fixed.. but definitely by KF2 it was fixed.. i guess u could try KG5, i hope that works

First stop should be to check for an official update via Kies, surely?

Yes you are right Slug I should have pointed you to Kies first to see if they have a newer update. Thanks for putting me right I shouldn

Have checked on kies - no update available yet - uk unbranded

Install the free watchdog app, it will check for any apps that are stressing your cpu and causing your S2 to overheat and sound an alarm, by default it does not scan system apps but you can change this in the settings.
