i got the same problem, but with some more usage. I still use my DHD and I think its better than this oven.
omg
this problem need to be solved
i can use it like this
my DHD was much more better
if any one see this please help SOS
What rom are you using... what kernel etc..
On maximus with stock kernel I barely get heat...
Based on the VERY DETAILLED information in your comment
I can only recomend you install a CPU FAN and hardwire it to
the battery...

Your comparing a DHD to a One X.... It's a quad core device *facepalm*...
So before you give up and call the One X a terrible phone (like the 500 rants this forum has) . We need much more information about your device.
1. Have you unlocked the bootloader?
2. Are you running a custom rom/kernel?
3. What base are you on?
4. How long have you had this phone? And how long have you had this problem?

Have you actually read his post? The one you are quoting?
1. As he has ARHD, yes he has
2. Yes he did ARHD
3. Lets say ARHD just for the fun
4. Irrelevant?
If the screen becomes yellow due to the heat, I would say this is hw problem as he tested different roms. UV might help, but the device should not become like this.
What I would be interested in, if he is not using it in direct sunlight on a beach with 40 degrees in the shadow. Even though I saw ppl say their devices survived that.
I am now in Egypt myself and even at night. With -125 UV. And the device still gets hot, red/green blinking on charge.
BUT I never got yellow spots coming out of the screen. And just cuz of that I would says something is wrong on hw level there.

try faux kernel and undervolt it and underclock it using system tuner or setcpu that will solve all your heat issues
I have exactly the same problem. Whenever i use my One X for navigation in the car (using Navigon) the battery drains more than the Kidigi Car Holder can charge. I already checked all advices that there are like:
- Kidigi Car Holder is charging with AC
- disabled 2 Cores
- UV all frequencies by -125mV
- running the phone in airplane mode
- disabling autobrightness
At the moment i´m running ARHD 9.3.2 with Faux 007m Kernel.
Could someone please help?

If it's happening on 2 roms other ones won't help you.
For sure not customized sense ones.
You could compare sense vs cyanogenmod.
But still, the CPU is kernel controlled.
And remember always when you download a Rom it takes like a day to settle, syncing set ups and etc. So to test a Rom you need few days.
Just stick to a Rom for now. And try the advices we already gave you. Undervolting with lets say faux kernel etc.

Install Hidden settings app from play store and in the newly created Power saver settings in the app drawer, disable "Reduce CPU cores" or something like this,(its the second option on the list, thats for sure )because basically your HOX runs on 1 core with 1 Ghz, but if you turn this power saver setting off, you will have a full 4 core perfomance, as it should be. This has solved me the heating problem a long time ago when i SEARCHED THIS FORUM, which option i gladly reccomend now to you!!!

with faux kernal and hidden setting my hox doesn't heat up like before
only once heat up when i force close some apps
but still much better the before :good:
i still want the value that i must change in system tuner
also i notice in system tuner the CPU didn't change at all
waiting for the values
try other roms
Before I face the same problem but after I change the ROM to rd miui, I think the heat still natural for me..
My advice try rd miui for ICS or jelly bean and try cm10 from trip droid ROM with new kernel 3.1.10 for jelly bean.
Now I am still try using trip droid ROM..so far so good about the heat..
Best regards

just a poll to know what is the most common rom and kernel ...
the poll is going to be about kernels as there is alot of roms so a i will leave it to discussion
i don't want it to be which is best but more of which is popular and may be a couple words about it's adv. disadv.
i am using Perseus kernel .... dunno just felt its good .. other kernel distort my speaker
stock deodex sammy rom .. (couple visual mods and full screan caller + extended power menu )
Perseus kernel... Crash rom.. Simplistic framework.. Xposed framework.. Twrp recovery.. Overclock at 1800 Mhz.. But sometimes auto restart and and the whole system not responding .. Still don't know why, may be due to Overclocking..Is it due to Kernel fault?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I usually use Perseus. Had my note for 5-6 weeks, tried 6 ROMs so far. Most impressed WITH (and still using) X-Note 3.2. Total ROM size is 350 MB so its stripped down with the good Samsung apps left in. S Note is offered as seperate 100 MB zip to flash if you choose.
Subtly and elegantly themed, not jazzy or flashy - more like understated black and grey tones. Includes xposed plus some nice mods e.g. transparent status bar etc and boots at 260 DPI which is so much better than stock 320.
ROM comes bundled with Wanam Adam kernel
Well, there's my 2 cents
Well, Perseus kernel for me because of AMOLED color profile and Wolfson sound options in STweaks app.
Phoenix rom since it nicely integrates Xposed and 240dpi mod @ install time (along with a lot of mods in Aroma Installer) along with Internal / Externa SD switch. It was nice to clean everything then install system without any strange operations afterwards.
Now overclocked / undervolted (a lot) and customized with Xposed modules and very happy with it. Haven't had an error or reboot in 3 weeks despite 1.8Ghz CPU and 733 GPU OC.
Battery is great with Perseus, easily 7-8 hours of screen on time over 48-60 hours between charging.
after using antutu (for the first time) i got strange results
sammy rom with perseus oc to 1.8 and under volted a little ..i get about around 9500 ..
same rom with adam kernel 1.6 under volted i got 14680
flashed couple aosp roms .. got 17800 and 16900 ...
so what am doing wrong ?
I'm in Love with Redpill Kernel.. it gave me great antutu score and great experience
i want to know the best rom\kernel combo that make a good benchmark score ..??
anybody got an answer

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
tried saber recently and i got very good performance .. but i like Perseus controls more especially audio
Omega ROM v18 .NEAk kernal very li8 and no lagging. including Wolfson audio controle ...The best part MULTI CORE MANAGER for naormal usage and awsome for GAMING
Big fan of xnote and perseus combination. Now switched to assassins batterylife breathtakingly amazing and redpill... For better sound control and more undervolting compared to perseus.
For those of you running TouchWiz ROM and hasn't update FW since March, then TerraBuzz is the answer for your kernel. Only screen got above 30%, android os, android system, etc. is below 15% with this kernel.
is it possible to combine multiple options in one kernel .. that would be gr8 ..
for my personal preference ..
1- 100 mhz step in saber
2- screen mods in perseuse
3- audio controls in stweaks of red pill and perseus with the gui of trickster
4- the zzmoove governer of saber give me good battery life with light to normal usage ... which is gr8
wanna know your thoughts .. and if that's even possible
First and only custom kernel I installed: N.E.A.K.
Needed Wolfson chip control, it provides. Also, great battery life!
Using CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly with its kernel... No problems at all, even battery is very good for me.

Battery life is very subjective to your usage e.g. Rogue apps in back ground, Cellular signal. WiFi etc etc
Best thing to do if you don't mind restoring every now and then is to try different setups Roms/Kernels and see which works best for you

Open Beta I'd go with Dorimanx or Bluspark
Stock you can use Elemental X, Dorimanx, Franco, Boeffla, Bluspark.
All of them give better battery life than stock kernel its more of a problem of what mix of features you want, try them all and come up with your favorite. My usage will not be the same neither will my preferences, so test and decide.
Bluspark, eng.stk does an amazing job
But which kernel works with ambient display 2 of ob19/20?
I think none support the double tap to wake feature in notifications. I have to wait for the notification to go away and screen to switch off. Then double tap to wake works.
I like blu but dude get flashing like crazy, Franco is great also
Hello there guys, I've started to use this phone a week or so, and I tried a bunch of different ROMs and finally I have settled with Dot Os since is the one that worked flawlessly for me, but here's my question
How long does your battery last?
I've seen older posts complaining about this phone battery. But I wanted to check with you guys that have been using this phone with custom ROMs.
My battery last very poorly, most days I need to recharge from 2 to 3 times in the same day, I don't play games, but my screen time is long I suppose, I use it a lot to look up things in the browser or to read posts on reddit mostly.
Since this is a second hand phone I thought it could be that the battery had run its course and that it was time for a replacement, but even with a new battery the performance still far from desirable.
It's very hard to compare, because it depends a lot on your ROM, kernel, adjustments and usage !
On my side I bought the phone (a6020a46) more than a year ago, and I use it for my work with Bluetooth for the headset, but I don't use much games or browser, so it lasts around 24 hours...
Really the developers have stopped thinking about the battery life, custom roms are more focused on performance and smoothness now a days. I am watching temperature of my cpu its always above 42 C even on using whatsapp it gets heated. I was searching for Kernal with hotplug like stock kernel but didnt found. All CPU cores are working Tirelessly consuming tons of battery. I wonder whether no developer can develop a battery saving kernel with better management of cores like stock kernel developed in 2016.
It could be the ROM, but since I'm not sure what to expect from this phone in trying to first figure it out if my battery is in fact OK, so you guys recommend any app or method for that, I'm using Accubaterry and according to it my battery health is fine, but even though it can't last a whole day on the other hand I can't complain about performance, it really is fast and just works (DotOS)
Edit : yeah I think that the main source of battery drain might be the ROM itself, I've been lookin at kernel adiutor and by default all cores are always on with the minimum frequency of 960 MHz

Only kernel with hotplug turning the cores off by default I've found is the one that comes with AEX 5.7 by Harry.
See this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/rom-aospextended-v5-0-t3688595/post77036466
Also he added a core control to manage hotplug values.
You don't like (for whatever reason) cores being offlined all the time? Ok, go to core control and set the properly value to switch all the cores on as you like.
If you want low battery consumption, I would suggest to stay on Nougat, it's not a troll it's a fact

@shubhgoan, @ghst7 here's offlining hotplug working properly on Oreo AOKP, by using Dragon Elite v1.4 kernel.
As many others custom ROMs, no way to hotplug the cores without using a custom kernel wich support that feature.
I'll be testing how much the battery lasts now.
@walterfuster let me know how it's goes, BTW can you tell me where did you find DE kernel v1.4? On the Dev section I have found only version 1.2
In the meantime I'm using AOSPEX and although the hot plug behavior is not that aggressive, it works and I already have noticed an improvement in my battery life

STEPS:
flash DE kernel doing the cache/dalvick wipes previously.
install this app:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329056791
(similar to KA)
open it and goto CPU Hotplug->Hotplug Style and select "Per-Core-Hotplug".
That's it.
Now check with CPU info overlay cores automatically being turned on/off according to needing.
@shubhgoan I corrected the link. Sorry for that bro.

yes, it makes hotplug work, turning the cores off and on independently, depending on the cpu load.

You will have to flash ROMs and find the one that works for you, from my experience AOSPEx, Dot Os and AOKP are all pretty good, if you wish to improve your battery life you can also flash DE kernel

Hey @walterfuster sorry to bother you again, but can you answer one last question for me, are you using an external SD card? And if so is your SD card formatted in what extension, fat32 or exfat?
I'm asking because I'm using a 64gb SD card formated as Exfat, and every time after I flash DE kernel I lose access to it, I mean the system still recognize my SD card but when I navigate to it, it shows no files, they are still there I just can't access them, I just want to be sure before I have to make a huge backup to format my SD card as fat32, I'm on AEX 5.7 btw

Hi guy, oh, I don't use an external SD card, so, I can't check anything for you.
BTW, I've also tried PB2 kernel with AOKP (completely compatible), and no chance to hotplug. It's a shame, man. because it's a great kernel: no random reboots like DE 1.4, and also has overclocking!
So, only way to get hotplug on any custom Oreo is by flashing DE v1.4, AFAIK.
I also attempted a crazy thing wich was replacing AOKP boot, with the one from AOSPEX, in order to run AOKP with AOSPEX kernel, to finally get hotlugging, but, guess what: DIDN'T work. Just got an endless unicorn boot logo
Hi,
I flashed stock android 10 image after it was released a few days ago and the battery life is GARBAGE. Any ideas on how to fix this? I know adaptive means it should get better after a few days, but I don't really see this.
Battery life for me is pretty horrible, I can't get 2 hours of screen time doing simple things like taking photos, reading the news and email and some book reading. I don't even play games, I would say processing of HDR photos is the most intense thing I've done. I updated on Tuesday and battery life has not improved.
I had the same terrible battery experience with android 10 stock until I changed kernels. Assuming you are rooted, you can install Ex Kernel Manager, then go to the ElementalX tab and click to check for update and it will give you the option to download and flash Elemental X v. 5.05 for pixel xl android 10. It will flash the new kernel for you and then ask if you would like to reboot. Once you reboot you can change governors and many kernel settings. Currently I am at 54% with over 3hrs screen on time and average about 15 hours per charge with 6 or more hours screen on time. This is at least double what I was getting on the stock kernel.

Currently I am at 54% with over 3hrs screen on time and average about 15 hours per charge with 6 or more hours screen on time. This is at least double what I was getting on the stock kernel.

Is there a free alternative to ex kernel manager?
@H0wdy
Smart pack kernel manager available on xda here it is also frequently updated not my work just so you know

I installed it and changed cpu governor to power saving. No difference.

Actually, even if I do apply on boot, is resetting governor to sched. Hmm
I don't see a real battery difference switching to powersave, just a performance difference.
I didn't actually switch the kernel, though. That's with the included kernel.
The battery life really is awful. Any ideas?
Changed to Elemental.
Set governors to Elemental.
NO improvement in battery.

here are my settings on Elemental. *note under cpu, I have to manually disable perfd after every reboot as the setting doesn't stick but everything else where the apply on reboot is highlighted works automatically. Battery is noticibly better with perfd and core control disabled.

Battery life for me is pretty horrible, I can't get 2 hours of screen time doing simple things like taking photos, reading the news and email and some book reading. I don't even play games, I would say processing of HDR photos is the most intense thing I've done. I updated on Tuesday and battery life has not improved.

That's awesome! but, does it have significant impact on performance compared to stock kernel? I'd like to balance out performance and battery life.
I wiped the phone and installed 10.
No improvement with battery.
Also, now I have the problem of my messaging and email apps don't update unless I manually open them. and sensor seems to be messed up to where if you tap twice on phone, you don't see clock, and picking up phone doesn't show notifications, despite these options being turned on. I know there is a bug on this.
For what it's worth, I was on the Q betas, and battery life was similar to what I was getting on pie. Then once the official update installed, battery went to garbage even after several days. I ended up downgrading to Oreo leaving the bootloader unlocked, but installing elemental x kernel so that I'd still pass safety net. I had heard before that Oreo had better battery life than pie.
Things improved after that, but I know that a downgrade like this won't be an option for most people.
Edit: also should mention that I've underclocked the CPU using the installer for the ex kernel which has also given me a slight boost in battery life. Don't really notice any performance difference for my usage.

I used ex kernel manager to flash it and then rebooted but it's a paid app. for a free app you could try flashify which is an app that can flash kernels and recoveries. I haven't used it in a long time to flash a kernel so I make no guarantees but it has worked well for me in the past.
How much did you underclock? I went back to 8.1 and battery life is much improved.
Stock seems fine to me 6hr sot on lte off charger for 17 hr. But did replace battery a year ago

Hey, I assume you're asking me. I underclocked to 1440 for the small cores (down from 1593), and 1900 for the big cores (down from stock 2150). The aroma installer has a few values to choose from, so you can try experimenting a bit. The values I used represent about a 10% drop from stock speeds.

Yes I was asking you, sorry for some reason it didn't reply to your comment. Thank you, I'm going to experiment and see how it goes. Are you doing anything else to improve battery life?

The biggest battery drain I have is keeping WiFi on. So I created some tasker profiles to turn off WiFi 2 minutes after the screen goes off, and back on when the screen goes on. It also only turns off if it's not plugged in. Still not perfect, but works well enough for me.
