anyone else has a bit of heat issue? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got tab s few days ago. Its pretty amazing. Its rooted now and i got a 128gb sd in it the only thing is that I notice after some walking dead game it heats up pretty good on the top side of the back.
Anyone else got this problem?

It's not problem. That's where the GPU sits. This tablet is the thinnest on the market next to the Sony Xperia Z. You're going to expect some heat when playing graphic intensive games.

Expect it to heat up. The CPU/GPU needs to power a bright 2560x1600 display anyway.

Ok. Thanks

Same here, I've been trying to stress test my tablet to make sure it's not defective and noticed the same thing with the same game. I'm not too worried but keeping an eye out for warping swelling. So far so good.

If it's warm to the touch, it's should be fine. If it's hot and uncomfortable to hold then there's something wrong. It's been reported that some of these are defective.
To be fair Apple iPad can get pretty warm over long usages. Not hot but much warmer then my Tab S.

Try and track down the culprit, it's usually samsung.index.service that gets stuck indexing files on the sdcard, and can peg the cpu for days.
Use Gsam battery monitor, or a cpu task manager to keep an eye on various processes. You can use the included process manager in developer options to see what process is using all the CPU.

For 20-30min and battery from 98%

Strange, I've played Hearthstone the other day for about an hour, and no problems, but I see you have the LTE version , we have different chipsets and GPUs

[Q] What the hell is this dip in my battery life?

So, at some point I turned off my phone and I -think- the sudden spike down in battery life is around that time.
Anyone got any explanations?

Mine has done that as well a couple of times. One time I had a charge of around 75%...rebooted my phone, and the battery was down to 15% percent.
Maybe it's just another bug we'll have to deal with until they come out with a fix.
thats strange mine doesnt have that much of a dip
every samsung product I have does this, gt 7, gt 10.1, droid charge, and this one. I don't recall my og droid, evo 4g or 3d doing this.
All phones show a dip when there is a battery pull while the phone is on....

Wasn't a pull, just a shutdown and reboot.

well if your phone was rebooted then that bald would have been reset because it displays monitors since last power-on.
there seems to be a bug where the cpu fails to underclock after a certain amount of usage and/or load. rebooting after intensive apps and/or before leaving the phone idle for extended periods of time seems to solve the problem for me. yes i get that too.

just press on top after you press battery usage on the screen that shows you the battery usage.

7+ hours of battery watching video

So, I got my a100 yesterday and wanted to see how much I could squeeze out of it. I manage to get 11+ out of my a500 on a plane trip, so I figured I could be effective here as well. Before I go any further let me say, I tweaked mine for watching movies on long plane rides. Meaning low light, no wifi type scenarios.
Using setcpu I down clocked to 6xx (whatever the preset clock is) and a conservative governor. Then, I set the brightness to about 10%. Then, I used moboplayer and set the in-app brightness to about 15% as well. This is still quite view-able in dark areas, like on a plane with the lights out. I ran the same movie over and over until I reached about 10%. I used a calculator to guess the remaining time left, as I needed the remaining 10% to finish up a few other things. Assuming the last 10% falls at the same rate as the rest, I would be at 7.1 hours of battery life purely watching video. Pretty good if you ask me. Hope this can help somebody in a similar scenario.
This is on par with what I get while reading and playing back music. I use poweramp to playback music off my sdcard, while reading ebooks with Aldiko.
Airplane mode turned on and no wireless on, backlight set to the lowest possible, setcpu set to 312 max, apps zipaligned for lower memory usage, tons of apps frozen from autostart and I get roughly 7 hrs (depending on if I've let it sit around for a bit).
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I actually ended up getting 8 the other day with the same settings, pretty happy with that.
I have the brightness turned down to the minimum, no underclocking or anything & this was my result with just general Facebook & Twitter checking as well as this and some ebook reading. Had just plugged it in when I took the screenshot.

How hot can the htc one x be?

Hello guys.
I'v rooted my Phone and switching between rom sens 4.1.2 and cm10. But that's not the case.
I know that the hox can be hot some times. But i want to know how hot it can be?
Was playing a game and my Phone got to 46c°
Is it too hot?
Reagards zardox!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
The only hotter thing than the HOX is my girlfriend, bro.
Normally 46° is nothing for a piece of hardware, on its camera side there is a bit of overheat while using in games etc, but normally it won't get hot, just a bit warm.
Did you use a stock kernel for sense 4.1.2 and cm10? If yes, you shouln't worry about your smartphone getting to hot.
I've gotten my HoX over 55 degrees C, without problems. Though.. When I reach that heat, I often stop playing games, since my fingers will get hurt quickly by then.
It wont matter that much, just make sure it won't happen 24/7
will changing ROM or maybe flashing Custom ROm fix heating ? mine spiked up to 48-50c earlier while playing dragon slayer
I had my htc one x go upto 49c. If u are using a case for ur hox I would suggest u to remove it when u feel ur phones getting too hot, this might help.
Prolonged high temperature might not damage ur phone but will reduce ur battery life cycle.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
At 48 c is when the "overheat" green/red notification while charging starts, however most phone batteries are rated for ~60 c.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
you guys do know that 50~55c is actually the temperature of the battery right? The actual temperature of the processor can go beyond 75c. System Tuner can detect the CPU temperature.

The widget with the android logo is System Tuner showing CPU temp while the one next to it is Battery Monitor Widget showing battery temp. This was taken after 10 minutes of Glowball

Super Hexagon, one of the best games I've played.

Hey guys I just downloaded this game and its BRILLIANT, absolutely amazingly addicting. The price is just right as well ( as of now )

Hurry up becouse I think its cheaper than normal.
I downloaded it - the controls are a bit lagging just like Terry Cavanagh had said! After a few days of playing, I opened it up and the screen resolution is too big and cut off for my screen. Weird. I cleared app data yet that bug remained - even on the update. Luckily, I had a backup of the .apk and I manually installed it - back to normal!
Really? I gave it about 2 minutes and I'm not sure if I can tolerate any more. Its like stabbing myself in the eyes with a spike.

I watched the video, and if I had that app it would make me break something.
Grabbed it a week or two ago. Just recently beat the first level. I lasted like 1:16.
Too frustrating for me. I own an N7 and the developer said there were issues with it so I tried it and got my refund. That's one reason the Play Store rocks.

So freakin hard, yet so addictive! The controls are a bit choppy, but it's not bad though.

What's normal battery Temp?

Hey Everyone was wondering what's the normal temperature for the battery? Here's a screenshot I took, I use the app called Devcheck great app by the way, great for getting all the Info you need about your phone.

that temp is good, nothing to worry, everything up to 37/38 without gaming is quite normal. it depends whether you use mobile network and a lot of browsing or so or not.everything starting from 38 and above should be only reached with gaming
No need to worry about temperatures on the phone. It's not like a desktop with variable cooling systems. If battery or CPU is getting hot, it'll throttle to lower temps and will turn off in extreme conditions. Having Android phones since the D1, I've never seen anyone fry their phone from excessive temperature.
IMO, monitoring temperature on phones is as useless as ram cleaners. Let the software do it's job.

What's the normal Temperature of the Battery?
Room temperature obviously!
Everything else i abnormal. Like when you activate the screen and use your phone. This uses energy and causes the battery to become warmer.
Using a LOT of energy like Recording 4k or playing a Game which uses up to 8W will increase battery temperature.
1. the 8W Electrical energy get turned into 99.9% thermal energy, the SoC is between battery and Display, facing the battery IIRC.
2. The Battery being used causes itself to heat up.
So what is the Limit? Around 45°C The phone starts throttling CPU clocks and GPU clocks way earlier. Around 38°C is the first one and around 41-42° he next one. But depending on your surround temperature (Jep, Texas Sun at noon and 35°C Outside temperature do not help....) your phonebattery will not get hotter than 48°C
Is this safe? Jup easily, the battery iself should be specced about 50-60°C Maximum usage temperature. Didn't really take a look at the details in the battery in the disassembly video^^
But as Richii already mentioned, your phone does this all on its own. Don't have to care at all
It's note a Note 7 ^^
