How hot does the OG Pro get? What is the maximum brightness you can set it to when the phone is at its hottest?
I've seen a Youtube video wherein a guy was playing a game for just 1 minute or so when brightness dropped significantly. That was for the Korean version though.
It drops to 76% at its "hottest" which is really just lukewarm heh. The only time it happens to me is when I'm outside in the sun (I live in orlando fl mind u). But honestly I leave it on auto at 50% and even in the fl sun I can see the screen perfectly...

LG PRO go or NO!!!!!
I would be very cautious of purchasing a phone with overheat issues, such as the LG G Pro. I had the privilege of owning and I have extensively tested the Galaxy 4, HTC one, and LG PRO. The LG model was the only phone that had overheated warnings and disabled brightness. I was in a well vented air conditioned building while testing. I am not stating all LG models will be the same. I will say look closely at how many people have had the device shut down or give warnings and it even happened during a CNET review. The LG phone is a great phone, just dont feel like you have to buy a device just because. I am pretty sure better models that don't over heat as often will soon be released.
Since the SGS4, HTC One and OG Pro all use Snapdragon 600, if OG Pro is the only one that "overheated", maybe it's safe to assume that a software update can fix this.
I chalk up any overheating issues to a bad phone. There have been reports of the S4 overheating and while I had mine it never did that and my OG Pro hasn't either so far. Its a mini computer so anything can happen.
I just played with a display model in the AT&T store. The phone was shut off and I used it heavily for about 30 mins running a combination of GLBench, Youtube video, Google+ browsing... The screen dimmed to 92% after running GLBench Egypt 4 times in a row and that wasnt such a big deal.. The worst offender was Youtube while watching video. I watched a video for just a couple mins and the display dropped to 84% and at that point I was really noticing how dark certain colors were looking, like greens and blues. The G Pro is such a gorgeous phone and I really want to pick this up but im worried about this display issue. A 16% display brightness drop while in an air conditioned building after a few mins of watching a video is a problem!
I can only hope for a software update to help this... Otherwise I may join the GN2 bandwagon.

No it is not. It's not a problem of the phone.
Would you mind watching this video?
How many models of top '13year smartphones do you know which allow you keep 100% brightness over prolonged period of time been well under heavy load (gaming, benching) at the same time?
The HTC One has autobrightness feature which silently lowers brightness w/o even notifying you about it. The SGS4 as you've seen, notifies you about the brightness level has been decreased and cannot be raised to full

Of course it won't
Well like I said I keep mine at 50% and can use it in full daylight. Ive gotten it to warm up a little but that was stressing it by playing dungeon hunter 4 over 4g and in the 90 degree florida sun. And even after like 2 hrs it only dropped to 76%. That just what I experienced...

The only time my phone gets anywhere near "hot" is when I play GTA: Vice City with everything maxed out. It runs that game like a dream, BTW.

Would you know exactly how hot it gets in C? And the max level of brightness the phone is limited to at that point?

There's reports on the sg4 and the one getting very hot this is a issue with all three phones wonder if its the 600 processor chip.

You can go to the hidden menu and disable the temp throtle. And the screen will be at 100% regardless of temp. But do it under your own risk. I actually got a higher score in antutu by doing it. But for normal use i keep it on. Only for games i disable the temp throtle. Theres a thread on how to do it somewhere in here.
If you don't find then: Open system menu by dialing 3845#*980#, go down the list, find items "High temperature property OFF" and "Thermal mitigation daemon OFF", check them both to Enabled ON & presto...with thermal mitigation daemon disabled you can achieve as high as 24700 in Antutu and the screen would not dim in hot conditions anymore.
Under your own risk. There's a reason why LG make this.

there aren't "overheating" issues. phones are computers and computers get hot, and phones can get hotter than most think is normal when they are actually just at normal operating temperatures. i have a nexus 4 and i have read about others getting their phone up to 90 degrees Celsius before it shut itself down because of the possible battery damage at this high of temps (this was when they were testing to see how hot it can get). even though my nexus feels hot the most mine has gotten to is about 50 degrees celsius which is well within the normal cpu range. now, hot batteries are a different issue, but the plastic in the ogpro is able to distribute the heat away from the battery, so the phone getting pretty hot is not an issue. i mean, obviously if your phone is getting up to 90 C then that could be overheating, but it doesnt sound like anyone has really gotten above 55 C which is perfectly normal and wont damage your phone even though it feels hot. if your worried about your phone getting hot then you can download "CPU+Temp V2" from the play store (its a widget) to see how hot your phone actually is. if you dont like the dimming screen then you can always disable it, but i dont think it is a big deal that it does it because i keep my phone brightness below 75 anyway.
stop worrying about your phone getting warm and just use it!

How do you disable it?
Mine gets E980 get mildly hot just like the Note II but the S4 gets so hot that it starts to lag trust met thats why i switched it for this one
I was having some high heat issues but did a soft reset and it seams to have fixed it... not to mention I have more free RAM and battery life improved a little...
The soft reset consists of removing the battery while the device is on and leaving it out four about 2 minutes. Then reinstall battery and turn on & presto problem solved at least for me.:thumbup:
OG PRO
The thermal throttling/shut off starts at 50C (122F) while the phones are able to go up to 55C (132F). Editing the thermald.conf fixes the throttling / shutdowns.

My phone gets quite hot when just browsing and also when it reboots is this normal?

read me!
A genuine unbiased reply, cuz I have G Pro, S4 and 808!
G Pro is a beautiful butterfly!
Though It has some heating issues. The maximum brightness you can set at the "hottest" is 76%, while is 24% less than the max, anything above 30% would be excellent for indoors, believe me!(you will get habitual to it soon, its good for eyes and affects battery performance too!)
I have GT Racing 2 and Asphalt Airborne. While playing with brightness under ~60, phone doesn't heats up!
It does so only when the load is much, and the screen is above ~75!
(save for 60-75, its a no mans land.. lol )
In a (very)bright sunny day, you will have to use 100%, else 50% will do!
ONE REAL BATTERY KILLER IS IR-EMITTER!
Newbies usually blame huge 1080p screen for eating battery, but in this phone, the IR-remote(app/hardware, idc) is the real problem!
To save battery, avoid using remote, and disable Quickset SetUp and Quickset SDK in Setting>Apps>Inbuilt!
Else everything is fine!
FOR NEWBIES,
As far as 3rd party software support is concerned, I haven't seen any proper ROM other than CM 10.2!
For me, LG UI is better than TouchWiz!
Its Lite(Technically)
it has got themes(icons+widgets), animation effects for home screen, lock screen effects, dual-layout icon set launcher(these are main things most people need a custom launcher for)
Its fast(faster than S4-S600 and equivalent to Note 3-S800 for me!)
I love this phone!
Literally, NOT BIASED!
I MAINTAIN MY PHONE MEMORY(RAM) AND KEEP PURGING MY EXTRA TEMPORARY FILES
MAY BE THATS WHY MINE IS FASTER THAN YOURS!
NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE

Any more ques about this phone?
PM me!
Press thanks if this helps! :angel:
For those running the phone at automatic brightness, do you still experience the lags / heating issue as those running at 100%? I'v always run my phone at Automatic as 100% always hurt my eyes (I want good eyes when I get older lol).
Do you still enjoy the screen as much, after all that is the selling point for the lg g3...battery life?

The phone is bound to be cooler if you use automatic brightness, and when its cooler it means that the thermal throttle on the CPU doesn't kick in so theoretically the lags will not be as bad either.
As for the final point, I was not aware the LG was being marketed as a phone with immense battery life? I would say the camera, thin bezel and 2K screen are the selling points, battery would not even come close to the top.

Battery may not be a selling point but will still be nice to know hows the battery with out all that lag / thermal throbbing fighting with the device ^.^ I am fairly satisfy with 4 hour battery life, I am not out to get the 6-7 hour battery life I have been getting on the note 3 3200 battery, so as you can see my standards have dropped.
I read many other android device users android device on 4.4.2 was overheating. Maybe thats the cause of it?

No,its not. Its because the CPU and GPU are having to work harder to render the QHD display,therefore there more heat.
There is no such thing as over heating. People are just crying about stuff.
I wouldn't say over heating, more like generating heat, every LG phone I've had got hot, I had the LG g pro when using gps it reach 120 degrees, that's why I returned this phone gave me sweaty hands
This def doesn't get as hot as the S4, Note 3, or S5 that I've recently had. It even stays cooler than the G2 I had also.

How long were you using the GPS, when it got 120 degree?
I see 170* plus sometimes. I use a Xposed add in to display CPU temp in status bar. GPS makes it hot because screen is always on. Lowering the brightness helps, but when using the GPS on a longer trip I try and aim some AC at it and then it cools down to 120-130*. My previous phone Note 3 did the same thing although I think the LG G3 gets a little hotter. Sure I worry about heat damaging components that's why I monitor CPU temp through Xposed.

I use GPS mapping apps all the time and don't keep the screen on. Google maps won't query location when the screen is off unless you run something else like Locus in the background to keep the tracking active. Never have any issues with heat.

I'm American also but I've gotten in the habit of using metric for phone temps since being on XDA lol.
I think you're ok. I use the same module and every G3 I tested so far (4) have shown up to 80 C (176 F) right after a reboot. It cools down quickly tho.

Hey, I underclocked the cpu with setcpu to 1267mhz, but it still heats like it normally do. do you think it could be battery problem?
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.
Hi all. Recently days my G4 H815 601xxxxx decreases brightness(about 10%) itself while i play games or run many apps. Also i have a problem which when i play high demanding games, cpu reaches about 50-55 degree and it restarts itself. It is my second G4 (first died) and hadn't have these 2 problems. Are these alarm of ILAPO?
Brightness decreases to cool the phone and the CPU throttles to do the same. Keep in mind that the 2 big cores are always throttled to 960Mhz to avoid ILAPO which is not legal ?. Unfortunately the phone is not good at all on handling heat!

Send it to warranty as soon as is starts to restart, that is all. They will replace the motherboard and you are safe and sound for some time. Best to do it before the warranty time runs out for you.
Moreover, I also suffer from the display brightness decrease, but my problem is not due to heat - it happens even at night with phone completely cooled down. Anyone with the same issue?
