Anyone else get the error message "Unable to brighten due to temperature increase. Try again later." yet? I've noticed it once while browsing on my phone and attempting to increase the phones brightness, at which point it maxed out at around 66% while displaying this error. The phone did not seem HOT in my hands, just warm. Was able to reproduce this issue by running the Antutu benchmarks multiple times and then changing brightness.
Am running the stock Rogers E971 ROM. There is no case currently surrounding the phone (although I can assume a case would just further this issue). A factory wipe did not make a difference.
Anyone else able to reproduce this?
The max level depends on the battery temperature.
When im outside, battery shows 32~36C and im able to set the maximum brightness level.
But for indoor use, cant go above 63%. Current temperature is 40C
I think it doesn't feels hot cause of the back cover glass.
Galaxy S3 feels much hotter.

you think that would be 'normal' behavior though? its not an issue I had with my Galaxy S2 and it seems like bad engineering / design if a device that is running at its intended clock speeds in a normal environment is heating up. I guess ill try calling up LG when I get some free time to see what they have to say about this.
I think 40C is a normal temp, so i guess the reason of limitation is the battery itself.
LG said Optimus G got next-gen Li-Pol battery or something like that. Probably it doesn't run good on high temperatures.
Nope, thats an issue but im not affected cause my default bright level is 40%
Solved!
From today we have a permanent working solution to the problem ! Tweakers and Optimizers released a free app called LGBrightnessPatcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...3NwYXRjaGVyIl0. that surely and permanently solves the issue.
Many thanks and respect to the developers

So I've got the E970 (AT&T's model) and it apparently does not light staying cooled down.
When doing modest gaming, and even surfing the web I get this lovely message:
"Unable to brighten more due to high temperature. Try again later."
That seems rather depressing. Considering the phone is great. The screen, that is wonderful and I like being able to have my screen maxed while charging or whenever. If the screen is pretty, I want to exploit that, after all.
One thing I've noticed, This thing is constantly sucking a gig of RAM, even when idle.
Anywho, has anyone else experienced the heat issue? This is the second phone I've received with the same issues. I'm trying all methods possible to keep it and fix this issue rather than just taking this one back again and getting a One X+
Seriously, any advice or direction would be pretty awesome.

IMHO, Heat should be normal for quad-core mobile devices. My Tegra 3 tablet, although all plastic, heats up when using. My LGOG does heat up in heavy use. The reason of the screen brightness threshold is to reduce the increase in temp. If you're rooted, you can also notice the clockspeed of the CPU cores are also decreased to 1.18gHz when it reach a certain temperature (about 40-50 degrees).
On another note, this should be posted in the Q&A Section

Erm... Isn't 28nm s4 pro not supposed to heat up that much? My tegra 3 1.7ghz only scales max of 35C when browsing... Maybe getting optimus g for fun but battery life and temp is so horrible...

Nah actually its not like korean SGS3.
Didnt measure the temp on sgs3, but it feels much hotter for sure.
My phone gives me this message on a regular basis, even under relatively light use. I'm glad that there are features implemented to protect the CPU and other hardware from overheating, but good grief, this gets rather annoying - rather quickly. I haven't paid too much attention to my OS and software to notice if I'm also burning a gig of RAM at all times, but that wouldn't be terribly surprising. I'm running a lot of background stuff, ADW Launcher EX, system monitors that I never check, custom lock screen, so on and so forth...
I will say that I didn't have a single heat warning until I rooted and unlocked the phone however. Perhaps it's completely unrelated as Gabby is saying the CPU will throttle on it's own in rooted devices, but just something I noticed.
Yeah, the phone can't even be used while charging without it overheating. I would love to just be able to stop it from dimming the screen. Quite honestly, is the screen being dimmed even helping with the heat that much? If I could just take that error away and not have to worry about the heat, I'd be fine, honestly.
Someone got any ideas of before / after rooting for the temperature throttling? I don't know why it would change anything but - -

Hi all, I've had the T-mobile LG for couple weeks now and the phone heats pretty bad although I've never got the high temperature warning yet. However, I'm a little bit concerned about the battery temp.
My battery temp has gott up to 42C/108F when gaming ( I was playing Golf Star to be specific) and even up to 45C/113F when I tested the phone with UHD video recording (the CPU temp got over 80C/176F during that video test). On the back of the battery there's little icon showing >40C/104F with a cross. I was wondering if it's dangerous if the battery got over that temperature when the phone is being used?
Moreover, the battery even has some sort of burning smell when its temp over >38C/100F now. Is that something I should concern about? It smells fine when its temp is around 35C/95F or lower.
The battery temp while charging seems fine when it's only around 33C/91F. The CPU usually at 45-50C/113-122F when charging.
Ambient temp has been around 40F-50F when I notice the issues above fyi.
One more thing I'm concerned about is the CPU always gets over 70C/158F or even 80C/176F every time when it starts up.
I was also wondering if I should be concerned with those issues and whether your guys experience similar issues. My phone was running with everything STOCK when the above info is recorded
Thanks in advance for your inputs, guys.
Hi,
How much does your LG G4 heats up? is it constantly warm even with low-moderate use?
Please share your experiences so far!
Mine idles around 30C, hits maybe 35 under heavy CPU load, and gets up to 40-45 while charging (especially when using the fast charger). It's warm enough that I put a small fan in front of it while it charges (heat is bad for batteries) but otherwise I don't really notice. This is Canadian model (H812), rooted and XPosed, but no mods to thermal systems.
Mine (LG H815-AR) does not seem to overheat on idle or charging but when I play a game it heats a little bit. Specially on Smash Hit, that does not runs smoothly as it should (a slight frame by frame lag sometimes). That is incredible, on my LG G2 Smash Hit was a real Hit! No heat and no lag at all... Software update needed or Qualcomm problem?
mine gets to 42-45 when playing (pretty fast) , usual is 30-34 . living in a hot country though
Mine is @30-35 in idle, in games (Dungeon Keeper in particular) can get to 60-65 which is hot, but nothing to worry about...
I had same issue, so after trying all the available internet fixes including factory reset, I decided to mail to LG, PFB their reply (guess heating up is just fine unless you want to burn your skin )
-----------Reply to Customer Enquiry------------
Dear Customer,
Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation. Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate ventilation may result in discomfort. Therefore, use care when handling your phone during or immediately after operation.
If your phone sometimes heats up than usual, there isn’t cause for concern since the device is functioning normally. For example, your phone may get warm when you’re using on Wifi Or Unstable 3G network Connection.
The Reasons why your device may get warm are
(a)Playing videos, games, or other media apps.
(b)Tethering your device or using it as a Wi-Fi hotspot.
(c)Using the phone while it’s charging.
(d)Downloading or uploading a lot of data over 3G or Wi-Fi connection.
The Ways to prevent your device from heating up are
(A)Keep your phone away from direct heat or excessive sunlight.
(B)Avoid keeping your phone in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas where heat can easily build up.
(C)Don’t use a case or cover that isn’t made for device .
Or
(A)Try by Simply closing the applications that are running in background
(B)Pause resource-intensive features or apps until your phone cools down.
Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation.The actual reason for this concern is the extremely high resolution LCD used in this phone.
The Quad HD IPS display provides with four times the pixels of HD with a superior pixel density. You can see sharp, detailed imagery on screen with an advanced pixel structure that provides a near infinite contrast of deep blacks and bright whites as well as more accurate color reproduction.
Due to this Quad HD LCD, battery drainage will be more as compared to other models & hence battery backup will be lesser & due to high data processing , more heat will be generated.
Higher resolution results in increased data processing and speed of GPU, CPU, DDR memory and etc. All of these factor in power consumption increases the temperature of device also.
This heating is absolutely normal & will cause no damage to the phone.
Also The phone has a inbuilt thermal protection, which reduces the CPU usage, brightness etc when the temperature increases.
Do register on their site and ask them all the queries to be sure its not a defective piece. Mine seems to get fine with the day by day usage, not sure why though
Regards
SK
In Taiwan, someone used this way to preventing the heating:
link.
But I used closing 2 cpu core to prevent it, because the warranty...

I used to do that disabled 2 Big Core and or lower clock to 1.5Ghz.
But since I installed CTT Mod....I don't have to do that. Its Run Cool.
Hello everyone, this is my first post.
My phone is LG D855, bought from two years ago.
I know the S801 will running at 2.5ghz as its needed, which will increase the cpu temperature temporary in an acceptable range.
Therefore, I start thinking the problem about the CPU. Then I used the kernel auditor to force down the frequency and the voltage as low as possible.
But the situation still doesn't changed!! And the most weird part is that heating is not continuously but it will burn up suddenly for no reason and no any sign. The CPU temp has been reached around 62-70 degrees, and YES! You got that right, it is hot like I am using the laptop processor on my phone.
The things I had tried before :
Flashed many roms ( Including various stock roms )
Replaced a few new batteries ( Some of those was already dead )
Changing the CPU frequency and voltage ( Minimum 268MHz @650mv , Maximum 1497MHz @840mv)
Force to turn multi-cores off to 2-3 Cores
Apply some heat diffuser tape inside the phone ( Sorry, I don't know the name of that thing, it is black and the iPhone used it too)
After all these messing
Nothings has changed! Yeah! This phone is driving me crazy!
Imagine that something like a fireball burning in your pocket?
I had been suffering from LG G4's CPU issue enough. I was using the G3 before I had the G4
Because of the quality of the G4's camera, and in that time, my G3 just work very well. So I decided to buy G4 at that moment. But the result just told me I had made a wrong decision.
I just go back to G3 since my G4 was died, and now the G3 works very bad...
I am really disappointed on all LG's phones. I will never go there again.
Yeah first of all this is a messed up phone all over place. Heat and CPU throttling because of heat brings lag to phone. 62-70 Celsius us usually became normal for this phone, in summer it becomes worse. I know some people will say install this install that but there is no way. If you have enough money sell this and buy a new phone but if you don't have money try to apply thermal paste to your phone there is instructions in general section about that. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the heat are still there even if I apply some paste on the die, doesn't it?
There seems the problem is just not about the hot air flow won't get out from the device, it's the CPU draining my battery as well, which is mean the heating is just one of those problems. The battery problem is can't be ignored too. When I noticed the phone start burning, I will take it out from the pocket and observe its battery status. And the result is very incredible, it had lost 10% battery life in just 10 minutes!
I had enough money to buy a new one, but just don't want to waste any money on phones until this one die.
I am not a power user or even not a gamer anymore, just used my phone for web surfing or chatting with friends. Although s801 is just way too much performance for me to doing those ordinary tasks, I still keep it for the QHD screen. Those cheap phones, yes, they are already matched my requirement but not included the screen.

People say thermal paste help them to get down heat. The problem is that G3 doesn't have any thermal paste to make cpu cool down. Cpu heat directly goes to metal surface so the phone can't cool down itself and sometimes it's so hard to touch it. If you have some hand skill try to apply thermal paste there are enough instructions and discussion in that thread. Also about battery, G3 battery is awful, it gets broken easily phone keeps reboot itself when battery dies, because it has QHD screen battery goes down easily. Make sure some apps don't stuck in background and eat battery. Sometimes when phone in pocket and idle it gets hot because some apps keeps working in background so make phone hot and eats battery.

Hi, I did a research about the mod that applying the thermal compound on the CPU die.
Many of people say that is effective to reduce the temperature at least 10 to 20 degrees after they tried that on their G3. Since the thermal paste is not pricey, so I can give it a try. I will try to do anything I can to calm this baby down. And in the future, I will never fall into the LG's phones trap again. (by the way the G5 looks very nice, but it still not my cup of tea.)

G3 is the only LG phone I've heard with heat issues.
My old G2 (which is just as fast) never overheated and always remained cool to the touch.
With that said, I just did the thermal pad mod yesterday.
Used some fujipoly 11 W/mK 0.5mm and it worked wonders.
Idle is 35-40C
Normal temps are 45-55C
One day into it and the phone is cool to the touch no matter what I toss at it.
Do the mod bro. 15-20C cooler temps across the board also makes a noticable boost in performance and smoothness.
I really enjoy using the phone like this
D855 CTT mod
1. Thermal paste.
2. CTT Mod : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/wip-2-12-ctt-mod-marshmallow-testers-g3-t3313870.
I had the same problem. I found a youtube video, watched how to break the phone down, and applied the paste. It was important to use a generous (not an insane amount though) bead to ensure contact with the cpu and the frame. The phone temp at idle dropped ~15 to 20 degrees, and it never shuts down from overheating anymore. I can overclock the cpu with a custom kernel now, no heating issues at all.
