[Q] Dead Space - Big battery drain and hot device - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
Yesterday i started playing dead space and after 45 i quit and saw that game had drained the battery for about 40%. also the device got really hot on the backside.
i never experienced this before. normally 1 hour gaming = 20% battery and device never got hot (asphalt 6, modern combat 3, battlefield 2, shadowgun)
is this normal with dead space?

I'm pretty sure it is as Dead Space makes your phones brightness to increase to 100%. I had the same experience with the phone getting really hot and battery life getting eaten up really quick.

When i played dead space i didnt see any problem.
Sometimes after playing Asphalt 6 for 2 hours my play was just little warm.
Ps, its bad company 2, not battlefield 2.
Battlefield 2 would be so amazing with 16 player online mode (like on the PC)

Well to be honest with you when playing HD games it eats the battery up a lot.
I play GTA 3 for about a 25 mins and I lose about 14%
How high was your brightness and does this happen when you play games like Shadowgun, GTA 3, Nova 2 and Modern Combat 3 ? cause all of those are graphically intense games.
What Android version are you on ? I'm on Android 2.3.4 and my Build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42

[Q]Best games for One X regarding battery drain

Soo, I only have one game currently in my One X which is Angry Birds Space but there is just a minor issue with that one..... It drains the battery at the rate of 1% per 1min. For me this seems pretty high.. With my iPad 2 I can play Angry Birds 30min and only lose 3-4% battery, yes it has bigger battery but still.
One X is my first proper fast phone so I really don't have anything to compare it with but it just does not seem right. Is Angry Birds Space somehow using more resources than it should or is the drivers for Tegra just so messed up that it uses all CPU even when not needed?
To the topic then.. Can you guys recommend some games that do not drain battery like hell? Or is it like this with every game?
Yes, HOX CPU consumes alot of power, but i only notice that when running Tegra HD games. Tried Andry bird space one, didn't like it seems like its not optimised for larger screens.
Games i currently have on my phone, Temple Run, Soulcraft THD, Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave. Had others, but can't remember...
I'm running on GSM version with Quad Core, it does drain quicker with Tegra games. I find that turning off auto brightness, and setting screen brightness to the lowest comfortable setting for you game does make the battery last slightly more...
I been playing dude perfect.
It's like angry birds but its basketball related. Shooting hoops with rebounds etc.
I played a good 3 hours and 20 mins before I got the 14% battery warning.

you battery was full? -.-
I drained the battery to 5% in 2 hours of playing Defense Zone HD. And yes the phone was almost at 100% before I started playing. So if you are outside and about to play few hours on your One X, better carry a portable charger with you...
Except the game I have Wifi on around the clock and auto brightness of the screen.

Does your screen get hot while gaming?

I'm currently running Jellybomb 11.0 and I'm not sure if it was like this when I was stock because I've only had the phone for a couple days and flashed this rom on the 2nd day I had it. But does anyone elses screen get hot when they play games? My entire screen doesn't get hot, only towards the top (where the front facing camera is) gets hot after only about 10-15 minutes of playing a game such as NFS and it cools down with in like 5 minutes of closing the game.

Old signature that I still have to change.
Yep my screen gets hot too. I guess its normal.
My screen actually gets colder when I am running graphics intensive games that press my cpu/gpu to its limits. How weird.
I'm running VeNuM ice(if that makes a difference) .. And my screen is actually stays the same while playing graphic intensive games.. Sometimes a little bit warm if I'm playing for a long period of time.. but nowhere near hot.. All normal to me
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
-Galaxy Note II Edition
Seems to only happens when I play NFS. If I play too long it makes the full back hot, but it starts at the "top" of the phone where the camera is.
Hm, well its seems like there's mixed experiences. Makes me a little concerned that my phone gets hot so fast in only a certain area of the screen.
Stock. Some make screen hot, some don't. NFS and spider-man do but the less intensive games don't

Nexus 7 2013 game battery Life question

Hey guys.. I have a question that bothers me.. when i do heavy gaming on my nexus 7 (2013) my battery drops about 8% every 15mins or so..this is with gps turned off.nfc off.location off.and google services .currents and so forth off.. and brightness on auto..but when i do leave my tablet in deepsleep overnight i only lose about 1% in about 10 hours of deep sleep but when i game my battery drops as fast as 8% in 15mins or so is this normal???
That's more drain than I've ever experienced. Have you tried a CPU monitor, and care to tell us the name of the game(s)?
Sometimes a game can unnecessarily run all CPU cores at full throttle. PBA Bowling is a big drain, though at the pace it uses up the battery, I can still get 6 hours of life.
frontline commando dday.deadtrigger2.dragon slayer. gta .games like that and im not running anything on background cause ive also did a backup to stock so everything got deleted and fresh and still around this rate but i heard its normal cause at this rate my battery would be dead at 3hours or so and i heard thats normal for heavy gaming on a tablet?

That's seems pretty low. While you can't expect 8-10 hours of actual usage with graphic intense games, I get about 5½ hours screen time over 2 days when I spend the majority time gaming. Even if I did nothing but game on my tablet I expect I'd still get close to 5 hours usage over the course of a day.

Gaming experience of Moto G

Hi guys, i want to ask some questions about this phone, mostly about its gaming experience. I know that this phone has great all-day battery life, and i also know that Moto G is a great gaming smartphone, if not the best, thanks to its Snapdragon 400 and Adreno 305 GPU. And i believe this phone is capable to handle most of graphically demanding games around Google Play Store. But my question is, what's about the battery life of this phone when playing games? I mean, how long can it survive when playing intense games without resting the screen, of course, from the full charge 100%? I'm actually quite interested to get this phone in the near future because it's affordable but amazingly good.

Well, you wont have to worry about the battery life I have played demanding games like mc4 and real racing 3, and the battery is just not going down fast at all. Like i could play mc4 for several hours, and still 30% left. Ofcourse not with the highest screen brightness. But this phone has just an incredible battery life overall. Like i could go with 30% battery in the morning, and in the evening there is still 10% left. So dont worry about the battery, in my opinion it does a great job.

It really depends on the game though. For example Badlands (a 2d game) is absolutely murdering my battery, while games from the Anomaly series that are 3d last longer. But all in all, you can expect to get a solid 3-5 hours of gaming without issue, plus the idle drain is minimal, under normal circumstances, so you can make it back to a charger an hour or two after you get your first low battery warnings.

Battery and heating problems?

Wellp, I just bought an HTC 10 a few weeks ago, it works fairly good, but I noticed that battery performance is so poor, in regular use it gives me around 3hrs of SOT, playing PUBG it gives something like 1.5hrs SOT, and that makes me to the following point, is it normal that the phone can reach somewhere like 47°c? When playing PUBG or Asphalt 9 it gets sooo hot, any suggestions for how to deal with these problems? My phone is running LOS14.1 with Cleanslate kernel.
Do you recommend replace the battery?
It's the metal frame that makes the phone "feel" hot. It is normal to that degree. I think 3 Hour SOT is normal. I had an Iphone 5s before 10 that i had to charge it 6 times a day, so 3 Hour is ok i guess.
