[Q] heating up

Guys... i jus bought a new note 8... this is my frst tab n the devise starts heating up on jusnreadin a few e books... or downloading an app or 2... i was wondering wthrer this was normal... the heating isconfined to the left side of the device... could someone gimme an advice as to whthr dis is normal or not... n also i d taken dis bac to the service center on the 4th day of purchase n they wer willing to replace the device... unfortunately it was not avaliable in the market... the service engineers sed dat this was the normal heating for the device... but agan im a bit skepticalcz i dnt trust dese guys... for al iknw dey might be misleadig me... i was wondering whtr i should go for a reimbursement... the device starts warming up on jus a few mins of photo browsing... i cant measure the exact temp also,.. wud b grateful if somone adviced me as to hw to measure the temp... ( ps: its not the battery temp i want... the battery is more towrds the center of the device... while the heating is confined to the left most region which i gus is wer the quad core processor is located... n btw no much performance issues with it though...battery life is normal too...
Thankyou.

If performance seems good and battery is about 10% drain per hour... then I assume you are noticing normal feel when the CPUs are running hard for a moment or two. Your hand or case cover will keep the heat up when that occurs.
There are a few threads in the Q&A section about battery drain, you may find them useful. If you have a good sized media library, the system will thumb nail cache and index media if using Google apps like, Music and Gallery. The latest Play Music will fix the issue with indexing. But I had to use xposed with Winam module to disable thumb nail cache and DVFS for both better battery charge indication and free up memory from thumbnails being created. For me I had over 300+ MB of cached images that would grow depending on how much media I would store.

Good advice. I personally have not noticed one area getting hotter than another, but I also have a cover.
It is normal to have a little heat, just not excesive.

Redmi 1s low performance?

I just got my xiaomi redmi 1s from my local Lazada store. What i noticed first is that it gets really hot even from normal multi tasking usage. I downloaded the update and now the heat is more tolerable so i decided to let it pass . problem now is that the phone is running slugishly for a quadcore device. Animations are not fluid and multi tasking is quite slow. So i decided to check with cpuz and antutu and below are my screenshots.
With antutu i got only 11000 when i expected to get arnd 18-20k as per the reviews. And in tue cpuz it says that cores 2 and 3 has stopped. Although there was a time when all 4 were running at their own clockspeeds l, and once i saw that everything is marked stopped except for cpu 0 rendering the device to be a single core phone. Any thoughts?

Do a factory reset and reboot. It will work again at full speed.

Install a custom ROM if you want to. My R1S is smoother on custom ROM than stock ROM.

I tried to factory reset inside the phone. My antut gone up to 14000+. I will now try to reset from recovery see of its any different.

I woulds definitely do that after i sort this out. Im just curious why !many people (including in reviews) get 21k antutu out of the box. I started to think thay my unit is a fake.lol
Thanks for your suggestiona, please keep them comming.

Your phone is not fake, you must wait for kernel and install a kernel, you kernel have some problemes

I tried to factory reset in the recovery and turn off the phone and placed it in front of an electric fan to cool it down. (It was running hot at 50c or more already according to CPU temperature app.) Also I unplugged it from charger because I read that charging the phone usually slows it down to a crawl. And true enough, I got 20000 antutu score
However a while ago I got 17000 antutu while temp is at 40-50C. Is it because of the temps? Also is cpu temperature app from google play accurate in recording temps?

Haha ok. Im just curious why my device is not consistently getting 20000+ antutu as described by many users through the net.
I just installed custom mokee rom. Its more fluid than before but the antutu is still 17000. temps are at arnd 45-55 upon testing compared to the 30-45 range when i got 20000. Is it relevant? Its the only variable i can think of. Also again temps are recorded thru cpu temperature from play.

Yes, it's relevant. My phone also lags sometimes when I use it while plugged in charger for a long time (because of which it gets heated up).

Try mi flasher, your antutu will up to 19000 nearly and cm11 is the best rom, so install cm11 because it's better.. Install init.d support with init. D toogle on play store and after install broodparts, then set cpu min to 300 and max to 1593

Ok will search for that mi flasher. As for cm11, im afraid that dl links have been removed for some roms for the redmi, i dont know why. I will still check today tho.
Update: this noon my temp reached 60C. I was outdoors then and i live in a tropical-climate Philippines so that must be the reason also for high temps. The phone became too hot it might fry an egg, so dsturbing in my pocket so i turned it off, removed the back cover and allowed it cool down.
Update 2: im also suffering with battery issues. I already charge twice today. In My first charge the batt went down by 20% in just 2 hrs. For 2nd charge, in 7hrs and 30mins the batt level is down by 70%(30% LEFT). I was only playing COC and D-day for 5-7mins tops.
Is this normal for our devices? Or is mine deffective?

Just an update: i tried to charge the phone while its turned off (straight frm 0-100% no interruption) and i noticed a slight improvement. I will continue to do this as people say you'd have to do this a couple of times.
Edit: i have flashed the thermal config file in this thread: (not the one posted in this thread, YET.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2977910
Heating issues also reduced. Max is now arnd 55-57 but this only happens when im outdoors (extremely hot) and playng heavy games. I even play d-day w.o issues. I used trickster mod to freq lock between 300mhz to 1344mhz.

I dunno what to belive about your phone. Even with MIUI 5 v37 my phone not heating so much and now, with mokee temperature raise to 50 grd on the small spot near the camera whet I've play heavy games. I don't use thermal config but some tweaks inside governor and I use full range of frequencies.

Hmm. Could there be inconsistency with the manufacturing process of xiaomi? I swear at one point the device reaches temps that i would be forced to turn it off cause im afraid i might fry the innards.
Also i havent mentioned this but when i was running the unoffical mokee, the device went too hot that i can hear some slight sharp buzzing sound around the camera area (i think) when i place it near my ear. Kind of similar to the buzzing sound of my samsung galaxy charger that came with my moms s3 (if anybody experienced it with the samsung chargers) i dont know if this is a characteristic of electronics when it overheats as im no electronics major. One thing im sure of is that they dont have to produce that sound at all!

No not that i am aware of.... i also have the same specs as urs... So maybe there is sumthin on ur phone which is eating a lot of ram... First check the ram usage by apps... try freezing the bloatware... If this doesn't work try clearing cache via adb... If nothing of this works we will have to dig deeper

First try to contact the store and ask them about lagging issues and all...if u dont feel satisfied with their answers try to get it replaced as warranty is for both hardware and software... Btw rooting ur phone will void ur warranty but if u flash the stock rom back u get ur warranty back... But my suggestion is first try to solve it by calling the store from where u purchased it and of still not satisfied call Asus and get ur device replaced under warranty....

Not at all. CPU is clocked at 500MHz for most of the time anyway and rarely needs to clock too high during usage except for gaming.
In fact, I've even capped my CPU max frequency at 1.8GHz even though I own the 2.3GHz version.

The recent update made my 2GB variant even faster from my initial impressions. Battery seems to be draining less too.

4 GB 1.8GHz here and absolutely no lag. Running smooth at any time.

I have not faced anything of such concern cuz i haven't played any high end game like asphalt , nova all i have played is hitman sniper which runs perfectly and gives me better performance than note 3 also in terms of battery . U might have not disabled apps in auto start manager

Absolutely no lags..even after last OTA update battery isnt draining with same rate as earlier and phone "speeded" up more..about that heating issue, its cuz of fast charging. Use a normal charger and there would be not that much heating it will just warm up little like any device

I will lag a bit just after charging, but mostly when I charge for 30 minutes and the phone is still warm. For those who are having lag or stutter....is your battery life bad? I bet you have an app or game that is constantly drawing on the cpu/gpu....

Mine is laggy but only when Here Maps or Waze are open, and a little while after I close them. During normal use it's a bit laggy, but I have several things running in the background... that's probably it (Facebook, Twitter, Google Now, Swarm, etc.)

I am also facing a bit of frame drops, not lags though. But stutters for sure. Its been only 4 days that i have bought this phone. My phone is on latest firmware. Asphalt 8 shows great amount of stutters and overkill 3 is full of lag. Should i be concerned. I keep almost all my back ground apps closed and have more than 2gb of ram free.

G3 Normal Temps, throtlling?

Hello guys. i am Kia as you can see.I bought g3 beacuse i want to record some rom reviews and tutorials for it. I previously had lg g2 and i had no any issues and then i bought xperia z3 and i didnt like it much. After that i bought lg g3. Ye, awesome phone but i experience sometimes throttling (sorry if i misspelled) (cant use 100 percent of brightness etc. .). Also today i was watching some videos and multitasking (for about 30-45 mins) and then i downloaded antutu benchmark just to see what score i will have. Then i runned test and i got just 25k?! I was like wtf.... (temp was about 66 ,maybe a bit more, celsius, it wasnt bad) and i putted away phone and after 30 mins i runned test again, i got 40k (is that normal score for g3, im bored of searching....) and temp there was like my idle 57-60 (at 60% brightness). I just dont know was that some kind of error or that was some hardware throttling or what? (due to overheat or what?)
Should i worry about my temperatures? What are yours idle and full load temps?
Thanks for any answer

Hi Kia,
Yes youre right when the device gets too hot,it throttles to save the core components from further damage. Also dont worry about benchmarks too much. In the words of Chainfire, they arent that vital. What matters is th performance of the phone on day to day tasks.
Can you do me a favor? Install the app for specs called Hardware Info https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dama.hardwareinfo&hl=en
and post a screeenshot of the Display,Processor,Back Camera and Sensors.
Thanx

Guys, what are normal (idle) g3 temperatures? And what are full load, I think I should send my phone on warranty? I get 55-60 idle and 70 full load? (CPU temps)

Overclocking of LG G4

Hi everybody,
I want to know if we can overclock our Snapdragon 808 to 2GHz (ARM A72 cores) with a modified kernel.
Also, If somebody is going to work on this challenge.

A57 cluster, probably yes. I'm also working on a kernel, but I intensely dislike Overclocking because it isn't all that useful. The key to performance is with optimisation, not with raw power. So I'm most likely not going to include it, sorry.

What about underclocking and/or undervolting?
I think performance is good enough as it is, but would like to get better battery life.

I would like to be able to undervolt in order to relieve the bugging high temp warning. This phone rarely uses max performance. So, overclocking is not really a priority. Maybe a custom hotplug.

Crappy cpu. No point messing with it.

Hotplugging has been dropped not long ago. You'd basically need to reinvent it. Plus it costs more power than it would save

And what about undervolting to prevent excessive heat, @mythos234?

yea i guess undervolting is the only benefit here coz 2 ghz wont be hard to achieve but getting that overheating msg sooner aint worth it...
next thing u know is accessory back plates with mini fans to keep the phone cool...
seriously tho what good is the extra power for ? the phone is already fast with the correct setup (not that i saw any lag when it was stock)

anyone knows how to see the cpu binning in this phone?

And what about undervolting to prevent excessive heat, @mythos234?

A number of people have gotten over-temperature messages, sometimes with the phones even shutting down.
This has been reported with using navigation, I believe, and I know people have reported it when shooting video. High screen brightness is likely a contributor. But there are examples of the phones running too warm.
Personally, I'd be more interested in cooler running, and longer battery life, rather than increased peak performance. So underclocking, if anything.

Well, the overclocking is not necessary, but is an opportunity to know the limits of the chipset. Moreover, with it we could know if we can make undervolting to our phones and make it more battery efficient with an underclocking kernel, when we need it.

Happens to me too when gaming. The problem I observe is that Indeed, it is not excessive heat. But LG thinks otherwise.
You can actually underclock using Kernel Auditor and disable cores. Unless you meant Undervolting.

Wanna check out periscope and comment back ? Atleast I know that app will push the phone to its limits.

Currently using Kernel Adiutor to disable both A57 cores and the phone screen does not heat up like before... Battery life has improved from what i saw yersterday. Continuing testing today. Only problem i have is the damn phone will enable one of the A57 cores after a while which i dont like. I need my settings to stick.
Any Kernel Dev know which files are causing this? Tab 3 had something like this but a couple of files changed solved the non sticking settings on cpu.
Overclocking/underclocking sure but just disabling cores would work for most.

I haven't had any popups or heat related reboots, so I was wondering what the matter is here.
On every phone I see complaints over heat so I wondered if something is to it here or if it's the usual. And if there are overheating warnings and shutdowns, then there might be indeed something in the bush.

Try charging your phone in the car whilst using google maps to get to an important meeting, and then take a call just for good measure............and boom, there you have your own little meltdown.

That happens on every phone I ever had though. It's advised to not use a device while charging at all, so if you stress it to 120% while charging, of course it heats up..

@mythos234 is a pleasure to have you here (speaking as xiaomi mi2s owner too xD)
What Temps do you reach using cpu intensive apps?
