I'm on the vs985 that's the Verizon variant and was wondering if anyone knew where is the thermal control settings are found I like to adjust them so they don't throttle down the cpu so fast I've found that on the g3 all you have to be is on the phone for a few minutes and it throttles the cpu down to 1.95 then to 1.49 I think the temps to throttle it down could be adjusted a little without the chance of frying anything
Because the phone isn't even warm and it throttles the CPU down so basically I'm looking for the file that controls the thermal throttling any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank Rob
Inputting the VZW dialer codes brings up a limited menu. I'm pretty sure nothing for us so far.

I had an LG Nexus 4 and while it was spec'd nicely for the time, when the phone got hot it was very bad, and LG set the thermal throttle way too low on that phone. Have they since fixed that in this phone?
I think it has been set too low on this one too, it throttles like crazy.
My S4 does a lot better than my GPro *in the heat*
Edit the thermald.conf in /system/etc. I think thermal throttling was what kept resetting my frequencies back to 1728GHz with the OC'd kernel. As soon as I bumped the last 4 settings from 1728000 (1.7GHz) to 2106000 (2.1GHz) the problem was gone as far as I know. I also removed mpdecision so that may also be the culprit.

Okay, so I have had 3 android devices so far, and as I upgrade, each phone gets more advanced and there are things that are new to me. I've dealt with kernels in the past on the OG RAZR, but not to the extent of this phone. Now I understood what clock speeds were fine on the RAZR, but not one the One. Can someone explain to me the limitations on this phone? This includes clock speeds for this phone, GPU overclocking, which I've never done, and voltage settings, which I don't understand at all. I've never tried going this advanced into a phone because I've never had a phone this advanced really. I am currently running EclipticROM, which uses the Lunar Kernel. Any explanation or help is appreciated! Thanks!

Check your bin and PVS. The higher the PVS, the higher you can clock the cpu. Keep in mind, overclocking will drain battery faster when it hits those higher frequencies. Like my bin is 1 (normal) and PVS is 2 (not good for OC, but a tad better in battery savings) PVS also determines how low you can UV, but you will only see very little difference in UV (maybe squeeze a few extra minutes on a full discharge at the cost of possible instability just for -50)

Hi,
i've got an international D855 here. i've tweaked it a lot.
it's overclocked to 2.8ghz (777jon's kernel), and running ressurection remix rom.
i also increased thermal throttling not to act up until 80 degrees celcius.
i use synapse to change kernel settings and core clocks.
i use "cpu temperature" app to monitor everything about my cpu. including clock speed.
when i go ahead and set the minimum speed to 2.8 and the maximum to 2.8, and enable all cores and enable all cores to have boost at the same time. it works for everything.
but when i start antutu, and do a benchmark. "cpu temperature" tells me that while the benchmark was active, the clock speed ramps down for a short moment of the benchmark. but the temperature never got above 65 degrees celcius.
i cannot acces the 3845#*855# code for some reason. if i try to dial that in, and press call. nothing happens. so i cannot deactivate thermal throttling that way.
so my problem here is. i've locked the cpu clock to the maximum. i've also locked the gpu clock to maximum. it all works outside antutu. but when i start an antutu benchmark, halfway through it, the clock speed decreases. and that's weird because i've locked the clock speed, and thermal throttling shouldn't already act up.
can anyone help me with the issue of the clock speed going down?
if i need to give more information, ask please. this is my first post. so i'm also sorry if this is in the wrong forum
edit: i just noticed there's a q&a forum. i'll post my post there. but i don't know how to delete this one. i'm sorry.
Why would you want to fry your phone anyways?
i'm not trying to fry it. i'm a pc overclocker. on pc's i try to get the highest possible benchmark score. and i'm going to do that with phones too. i know the limits of a chip. and i want to push the chip to it's limit to get the highest score.
so far i'm at 50.3k on antutu. but my goal is to beat the galaxy note pro, or maybe the htc one m9.
so yeah, i do know the limits. i know my way around overclocking and cpu configurations. i'm coming from pc overclocking.
but i just can't figure out why it clocks down at a certain point while it's at decent temperatures.
So you want your LG G3 to become the strongest G3 in the universe? Super Prince G3.
Quit the Dragon Ball talk.
You will end up messing up CPU so it will stutter all over the system.
This isn't PC.
why are you making fun of me. i just like to do this stuff.
i bought this lg g3 just for overclocking. and if it breaks, i'm done.
it's not my daily driver or anything.
i'm just doing what i love doing. and that you're making fun of me, doesn't help.
edit: to add to that. i've broken enough pc cpu's. but because of that, i've learned my way around. and now i'm doing the same with phones.
im not saying i'm trying to break the phone. but i'm going as far as it can. and if it happens to break, i've learned from it.
Hi, i have a Oneplus 2 with snapdragon 810 and im doing some research, i edited the thermal-engine.conf to have good performance for a long period of time with heavy tasks.
I would be greatefull if someone pm me the thermal-engine.conf located on system/etc (on op2, probabbly the same for m9) or tell me at what temperature it throttle and how much.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you.
Hi again, I already tested a lot and I have my profile for gaming and no throttle in normal usage.
For gaming I have a profile that turns on only 2 little cores at 1,3ghz and 2min and 4max big cores at 1,4ghz. GPU at 450mhz or 510mhz (as you want) I have 450mhz. Interactive governor. And stock for normal usage, 4 little cores online at 1,5ghz and 2min 4max at 1,8ghz, GPU at 630mhz. The reason I throttle it more for gaming is to have better performance as time goes by, so it will get hot later and it takes a lot of time to throttle.
Throttle file has almost no LCD throttle so you have to do it manually, if gets too hot (its not gonna happen) it throttles automatically.
At 53,6c° of skin temp it throttle both clusters to 1,2ghz and gpu to 390mhz. Games still running smoothly and it doesn't get hotter, it mainten the temperature.
Remember this file is done for oneplus 2 by @i9100g user , I tested it for games and tweak it a little. I guess it wont work on droid turbo 2 because of the names of the sensor that are differents, and maybe frequencies too but I don't think so. You will need someone to "port it" Later I will test to add a sooner throttle at 1,3ghz both clusters and raise the max freqs for cpu on gaming profile.
English is not my native language, I'm sorry if I made some mistakes.
Thats it,cheers.
Can someone run a long CPU throttling test on this phone to see how heavily it scales as heat builds? The only test I've found online is https://3dnews.ru/assets/external/illustrations/2019/05/27/988154/sm.throttle_1.400.jpg, and it's pretty bad. I've seem comments about how this is one of the hottest 855 devices, and I dunno if you can use some software workarond like on some Xiaomi phones.
The test above was done using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=skynet.cputhrottlingtest.
I've been looking for a strong phone to run emulators and my picks where either this or the Xiaomi 9T/K20 series. Screen, camera and development edged me towards this phone, but if it can barely sustain a gaming session then it's no good.
When I got mine I used it as a hotspot for 4 days while waiting for the flipcase I had ordered.
I was running both the 2.4G and 5G wifi hotspots at the same time, with a laptop and several other devices using it, and I also used it normally at the same time and even ran some benchmarks like Antutu, and it only got lukewarm at most.
Of course I have the E30 model with 12GB ram, which probably helps keep it cooler.
I'm still on Android 9 if that matters.

I found various results on Antutu and similar apps, but that only says about burst usage. If that image I linked is correct, after a few minutes the processor clock falls drastically.
If you don't mind please run the app I linked and print the result here. The default time is 15 minutes, but if you can manage a longer test I would appreciate. Of course you'll need to leave the phone resting during that time, so keep that in mind.
An example of a good result, ran on a Mi 9: https://i.redd.it/sh23onvimmq31.png. The phone can be used at full power without downclocking for a long time.
Here are the result. It depends on the temp on the sensor. It hit 90c when ran at full clock speed and it dropped to dynamic clock speed when it was hot on prime core. When it was cold enough it can boost to full speed again.
The environment temp was around 25c. Probably worse if the env temp was high

Thanks a lot! Finally more data on this.
The clean step is similar to the first slowdown on the test I linked, maybe from some governor setting on the kernel. There should be a way to either remove or relax the thermal profile if needed, but while a tiered throttle might be too overzealous at least it makes for less performance flutuation.
Anyway, overall it's far from what I've seem before, and pretty good on my book. Good to know. Are you on Android 10 already?

Yes, I'm on Android 10 right now. Every day use is fine but actually warmer than I expected. Especially when I do a lot of opening apps, switch between apps that ramp up the prime core.

I found thermal config file in /vendor/etc
It use virtual-threm to set cpu clock speed in this snapdragon 855 platform based on current temperature.
This is the stock setting that I got from here
