Title says it all. is there anything I can do to get better battery life besides the basic turn radios off and brightness down? Thanks.
You could try HoloMusic. It's supposed to be the most energy efficient music app.

I use Franco Kernel, and just change the CPU frequencies. I use min 192, and max 500 - great battery life with it!
just connect the phone to charger while listing to music and you wont lose any battery

Lol.... do you have like a energy cell to recharge the phone inside your backpack wherever you go no? Thats cool.

Minimum set that low is begging for a sleep of death lvl 99.

Actually, i used 192 as lowest step, 1200mhz as max step for a long time, never seen a sod.
The issue lies in maximum freq for screen off, and the time cpu takes to execute stuff in the background.
Min freq can be 192, np. Just control voltage at that freq.

HoloMusic is definitely the way to go, along with custom voltage and cpu settings.
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 state. PROFIT! I don't know maybe the reboot is needed or not. But with thermal mitigation daemon disabled you can achieve as high as 24700 in Antutu and the screen would not dim in hot conditions anymore
And of course don't forget that if you damage your phone somehow by overheating it or shorten you battery capacity its not us to blame. Be a reasonable guy with your hardware
Of course tweak can be applied to any LG Phone, say to E970, for example

So this doesn't increase the cpu speed from 1700 to 1900? How fast will the cpu run to achieve 24000+ score on Antutu?

Now, it won't automatically go higher than 1700, it merely will not drop to 1100 or whatever speed stated in thermal.conf in case of matching thermal threshold and just will continue to work on 1700. In fact I don't think it will somehow "damage" SoC, it's just meant to save your hand from holding 50°C device while gameplaying

No, can not, I use on 50% brightness so it never get hot and therefor never dim on me

Thanks for this! Always wondered why this phone stayed so cool. Benchmarks are higher, games run smoother and so far it looks like the occasional but horrible home screen lag I get while using live wallpaper (any launcher) seems to be gone so far.
I'm cautiously optimistic that this will fix the lag, but I'm sure you're right, it seems like the phone randomly idles some cores causing the lag. Hopefully we see some custom kernels for this device soon.
Thanks again.

Notice in the last screen shot how Antutu usually warms the phone up to the point where it only runs at 1.1 ghz. Also in quadrant, I'd get anywhere between 11000 and 8000 in testing, now it is consistently in the 12000 range. Awesome!

Working great so far thanks for the tip.

Thank you much!!!! how come it still says off when I check the hidden menu again? but when I try to enable it, it's shows on I did do the benchmark again and it gets 24000

Because the setting is to turn off the thermal control. So by checking the box to on you are turning it off. It will always say off, as long as the box is set to on then it is working.

Thanks...I wonder if this will drastically reduce battery life??

Just got done playing about an hour and a half straight on Chopper Mike and phone feels perfectly fine. Not nearly as hot as the gs4 gets.

Here's battery so far. Trending to get about 5.5 to 6 hours screen time with throttling turned off. Not bad.

Do you get more screen time with throttling turned on? Or is it just about the same?
I noticed it got pretty warm after only playing pinball arcade for 15 minutes I have used it for hours before without it getting warm. I might have to turn the throttling back on just to be on the safe side. Call me a wuss

Wuss. The gs4 and many of other Android device and iphones practically melt your hands while gaming. That said, my phone has remained quite cool unless charging and even still it stays under 100 degree.

I just got 24779 on Antutu on first run with this change. Pretty sweet and temp was sitting at 40 right after I did the test. Quadrant is giving me 11774. The temp never goes above 40c. Please post your results to compare.

Does the moto 360 come with its own app or any way to continuously monitor heart rate? Or does it just give you a single reading which is entirely useless?
Haven't quite figured out how it polls, but it has a tracker for minutes of activity that seems to register if I do something strenuous. Not sure about heart rate...
I think it measures heart rate every 5 minutes or so. There is another app mentioned on android police that constantly monitors it but I haven't tried it.

I've been using it often because I think I am experiencing the early stages of high blood pressure so I'm keeping track of my heart rate. It appears to monitor it when you run it but it seems to poll every 5-10 seconds until you close the app.

Is there a way to keep the watch on when monitoring HR. I know it will kill the battery but its just for my workout, and when the screen times out you have to restart the HR app.
Also anyone find an app to see HR on the phone that's measured on the watch? its nice to have the phone sitting on the magazine rack of the treadmill.
On Sunday, I hit my activity goal about 8 hours in to an epic couch sitting football watching session, and most of the time I am halfway to my goal after driving to work. All of that with my resting heart rate sitting between 50 and 60.
I am hoping in a future update we can edit the thresholds for the goal to make this app meaningful, because now it is just a battery drain. I can't seem to find any way to disable it either...
Agree 100% this app is just a battery drainer

I changed my default heart rate app to the Google one in my Android Wear settings, but I don't think that disables it
All setup. Now to go through some testing.
My biggest fear are all the heating videos on YouTube. I see in settings that auto screen refresh rate has the phone constantly refresh at 120hz!. So you basically have 120, 60 or 144hz, each staying constantly at those refresh rates. I'm not happy about that. 60 it is then. No wonder it got so warm during setup but now at 60 it seems OK.
It's lighter than I expected. Tired of heavy phones. I have a toolkit and sealant on the way. If heating is an issue I'm gonna open up the thing and give it some liquid metal thermal paste treatment. Lol what not. The phone was fairly cheap at £500
I read auto changes in some rates. 48,60,96 and 120.
And screen have a good quality?

No. Auto is a constantl 120hz. That's not good. No wonder YouTube is reporting bad battery life.
I blame android 12. My pixel 6 pro had terrible refresh rate control too
