Hi Everyone,
Just wondering how your Nexus 7 runs under the new OS? I notice my device getting higher temperature than before, especially when playing some games. For example, with CPUTEMP and Smash Hit, CPU's temp was around 50-55C on Kitkat but now it is 65-75 on Lollipop.
Would be great if someone can run the same test and see if you get high temperature on this game.
Thanks
I can attest to this myself. I use the same app (on a N5 and N7) and I've noticed that the feel in the hand, while doing normal stuff with the same usage pattern, seemed hotter than normal. So I launch the CPUTEMP app and run the overlay, put the N7 to sleep for 15 minutes to idle. Temp starts around 36 C when first turning on the screen, then it ramps up to 44 - 50. Then while actually using the device, (e.g. surfing the web, email, basic stuff) the temps will go up to the 50s and 60s easily. If I leave it at rest on the homescreen after using the tablet, it idles around the low to mid 40s. While video chatting online with someone (hangouts / skype / etc) it will ramp up to 70s, then 80s, and finally cap out at 95 C. (5 degrees before S4Pro SoC maximum?) A video chat will last 2 - 2.5 hours on a fully charged battery, and the heavy SoC throttling affects the frame rate / responsiveness of both my front / back camera preview during vid chat and the entire OS. Downloading an app or two brings the temp 55 - 61, and then installing them (due to AoT compile) from 61 to 72.
The same goes for my N5 also on Lollipop, to a lesser degree, but nonetheless, it runs higher average temps than I noticed while running KitKat. Both devices appear to drain battery quicker on Lollipop, especially during use. That's not even considering LTE / mobile data use, since these days I'm here at home using WiFi all the time.

Yes. You are correct. Even i face the same issue. The device gets heated even on playing candy crush / angry birds which was not the case with kitkat 4.4.4.
Hello. I have noticed that my mi5s has some lag while playing asphalt 8 even at medium settings. After doing some benchmarks with 3DMark I realized that there is a drop in performance at relatively low temperature.
At "Ice storm unlimited" I have a score around 30,000 when the cpu is cool. However when I hit a 36 degrees of Celsius I am around 27,400. Furthermore, if the temperature increase at 39 Celsius , the performance drops even more and 23,500. This gets even worse when I hit 40+ Celsius where the score drops under 20,000 and if I semi-covered it with a cloth to reach higher temp it gets around 16,600 at 45 degrees of Celsius. After that it need to cool down to 33 degrees of Celcius to restore its performance
Needless to say that these temperatures are very easy to reach when you are playing a game. Has anyone noticed something similar? Any suggestions?
I have the 3/64 version with the 7.7.20 developers. Same issues were faced with the 7.7.6. . I have not tested in depth with the global rom but I think I had similar issues (it was only for a day). The room temperature is around 30 degrees of Celsius.

If you're okay with the high temperatures then you could disable all the CPU thermal throttles from any kernel manager app, though you need to be rooted.

I was thinking something similar but I do not want to disable it fully but just increasing the threshold by 2 or 3 degrees of Celcius. I am rooted but I am not sure how I can do the modification. From some quick search that I have done there should be a file named thermal-mplampla.conf (I do not remember the exact name) where you can modify it but I am not sure by how much should I change the respective lines for just a 2 or 3 degrees increase.
Anyone that have been playing around with thresholds and have any tips or guide before messing around?

First of all, that isn't the CPU temperature but the battery temperature. This phone actually has fantastic thermals due to its aluminum back and well placed SOC. No wonder you're getting throttling, you live in 30°C and you're playing games, what do you expect? Every phone on the face of the earth will throttle to that level. Just saying, your CPU is running probably around 70-80°C while playing intense games. So if you continue to play, it will eventually heat up the rest of the phone.
40°C destroys a batteries lifetime and 45°C everyday will reduce your battery within half a year which is why they throttle phones. Hell my One plus 3 in 30°C weather will throttle like crazy and that's the best phone in terms of throttling. Its normal. Stop playing crappy games like Asphalt 8 in 30°C and go enjoy the sunny weather instead.

Actually the truth is somewhere in the middle. I have used an app called "cpu temperature" but if I check the battery temperature it shows exactly the same degrees. So I guess it mistakenly shows the temperature of the battery. Do you have a more reliable app to check cpu temp?
On the other hand, 30 degrees of Celcius is not that high. In the winter usually we do not let the room temperature drop under 20 degrees since we use heating. Nevertheless, I will let it as it is for now and check again after 5 or 6 weeks where the temperature should be cooler.

You need a rooted phone to see actual CPU temperature. The best way to do this is get an app called simple system monitor (blue app icon) and go in temperature zones and you'll find a bunch of sensors there. There's a bunch of them that are for the CPU and you kinda have to figure it out yourself (I don't know exactly which one it is, one of the tz_sensor ones) by running a CPU benchmark and finding the ones that show the highest temperature. If you were to remove thermal throttling, and maxed out the CPU and GPU, you will see your CPU hit around 100-110°C and your phones gonna shut down for protection. And I'm in Canada so 30°C is extremely high haha.
Hi all,
I've been having this issue with the watch since day one.
The watch is connected to an iPhone.
The heart rate monitor is way too high in a lot of cases, for instance when I sit down and watch TV it's around 55-60 and then peaks to ~150 with no apparent reason as you can seen in the attached photo.
It's not my first smartwatch and I have never had this problem before.
I send it to huawei's labs for inspection and they said it's working fine and it might be issue with the over sensitive sensor and the fact it is connected to an iPhone and not their phone.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks,
Ishay
No such issues with my GT2 connected to Android phone.
It sometimes happens that when I put a watch on (it was off my hand for a while and I put it back on) it spikes to high bpm value (i.e. 110 or so), but quickly reduces to normal. During resting/sitting period, bpm remains constantly low, without spikes that you mention.

I've never had such issue on pair with mate 30 pro, but on high rates (over 186) suddenly drop to about 135 (1/3 less).
I have an opposite effect but only during training. The watch shows on average 20-30bpm less than my previous 2 smart bands. I've read there should be an improvement with the firmware version 1.0.3.62 but I'm stuck on 1.0.2.60.
I had exact same problems..this morning when I was doing elliptical,the hr went up suddenly 188 and said limit exceeded .once I stopped the tracking it came back to normal , insee this problem after I had set the Huawei mobile service region to China to buy few watch faces..
I finally got 1.0.3.62 update so I'll report back in a few days if the HR has improved.
Hi all,
"happy" to read that I'm not the only one with this issue:
Doing elliptical, raises to 160, LED on back is not flickering but steady on. Stop moving, drops down to 96 (fe). Real rate (according Samsung watch on other arm is 96. Moving again and up to 160..
Started with latest firmware update.. what **** is this...
Exact same problem, with last firmware update, when doing elliptical, heart rate is reportef between 20-40 bpm above what the machine is reading, tried with a camera app and it read the same value as the machine and to make sure trackef my pulse and all were the same but the gt2. My phone is a mate 20 lite. Definitely happenef with the latest firmware. Was ok with the two firmwares before.
I have 1.0.3.62.
the clock stuck to 109bpm. i took it out, i put it on again it showed 75bpm for a while then 109bpm again. To say that I sat for so long. i opened the app and as long as it was stuck there is a gap !!! Last clue at the app 109bpm. The clock shows "normally" that stuck for a while constantly.
With 1.0.2.68 i had no problem!!!
Drastic drop
Mine too. Is it hardware or software?
I have exactly the same issue. Driving along and it will suddenly spike up to 170+ occasionally. Same thing happened the other day walking to the shop peaked to 190+...
Although we could all just be really ill??
I did not experience that issue but the opposite - during workout, the highest HR is usually not as high as it should be, sometimes even 20bpm lower (compared to Polar OH1).
I am facing the same problems. Reading jumps from 55 to 120! When I check against another machine I can see I have 60 and the watch is showing 110! This started after I used it for indoor elliptical and sensor went nuts with wrong readings. Never had that problem before. I will try a factory reset and if not fixed send it back (I have had it for about 5 weeks 24-7)
My brand new HONOR MAGIC WATCH 2 doesn't track heart rate on my wrist, however on my Palm, its tracks properly. Shall I return or is it software issue or hardware?
I have a different problem. My GT2 elegant detects puls and stress levels while I'm not wearin it...Of course it happened after one of latest updates...
Don't know how to fix this and it annoys me alot
Yes I've had the same problem. It's connected to a Huawei phone so not sure why this is happening. Did you manage to solve the problem? I might return mine since it's less than 2 weeks since I received it.
I have similar issue... When starting a workout, even if I'm not walking or doing something the heart rate zones shows "extreme" with 70-80 bpm... Anyone knows a fix?
Hi guys! I don't have a GT2 but GT2e instead, with the latest 1.0.6.20 firmware, and might be a heart rate issue here too. When I bought it, I compared with my Honor Magic Watch (which were replaced because the battery draining very quickly, it lasts now for only 2 days), and the GT2e showed higher heart rate, +10-20 bpm. This weekend, the GT2e showed many times seriously high heart rate, example: during sleep, under2 minutes ramped up quickly to 136 bpm , and then back to 60-70. Today in 5 minutes ramped up from 93 to 149, then back to 121, and I immediately started to check my pulse by counting it manually, and it was between 80 and 90, but the watch still showed 110 bpm. I haven't even do any exercising during that time. I was at the doctor a week ago, ECG and heart rhythm checking, nothing unusual was found, later that day I bought the GT2e.
Could it be possible that those high heart rates measured by the watch are "false alarms"?
I watched video reviews from this watch before buying it, especially about the heart rate accuracy compared to expensive smart watches, and the previous gen. Watch GT, and everyone said that the sensors accuracy is very high, and I'm a bit scared now...

Try to set heart rate tracking to non-stop and not smart. When I did that it works ok. When it is set to smart it measures in 10 minutes interval. So it is written but I think the watch turns on also when you move and then measures your heart beat. When it does that you get high peaks which I think it is the problem in software because friend of mine has GT2 set to smart and there is no peaks.
Hello,
I am about to purchase the Mi 10T, have a final question. The only reason I am going for a 865 phone is that I am hoping it heats up WAY less than cheaper cpu phones. I want to be able to play a heavy game for, say, 2 hours straight and not have the phone overheating. Will the 10T be able to handle that?
Thanks
Well, playing genshin impact for over 4 hours continuously with my redmi k30 4g doesn't heat over 40 degree Celsius.
I'll tell you after a week of usage, mine will arrive on oct 23 if you can wait until tho

Literally bought it 5 minutes ago. I figured I would just return if it's not doing great temp and battery wise.
Had the OP8 which was 865. So far not that warm to touch. and before that I had the F2 Pro which was the same. so all good. the only device I had which was kinda warm was the MI 10 5G

I'm getting 60 celsius on cpu, 40 degrees on battery, after about 1 hour of gaming using 80%gpu 40%cpu, 18 celsius local temp.
I have no idea if the temps are good or not tho. What do you think?
Based on my experience i have stressed test the device using Antutu when the unit reached batt temp of 47 and up and goes back to homescreen when you're navigating fps will only be 60 or less automatic even though the screen refresh rate is set to 144hz in settings i dont know if this is a way to dissipate the heat or issue. It will go back to normal after 2-3 mins or when the batt temp goes down to 44 below based on my observation.
Been through the OnePlus device but did not encounter this kind of issue after playing a game
