[Q] Overheating 🔥?

I just got my Samsung Galaxy s6 edge white 32gb last night and I noticed that is over heating than it should be. I'm using it for Web browser and texting nothing that should cause to heat up. I also updated to the latest version.

Actually if it was overheating then the phone would automatically shut down to prevent damage, but yes the phone does get hot rather quickly. But I've had glass and aluminum phones before and they always get hot fast since metal retains heat.

Mine ran a lot hotter than a normal glass and metal phone, and it was laggy/jerky. I flashed the stock firmware to it, and now it's smooth and cool.
Here's How:

yes it does get hot once in every 3-4 days & when I say it means really hot..

Smart switch is not working for everyone. Hit or a miss thing.

My phone heats up to 44 C
What is the Warning Level is it safe till 45 or 50 Celsius ?
It happens when
1) On use of Google Maps while driving
2) Charging
3) When i use Sandisk OTG, to the extent that it stop the Transfer & freezes
4) Even if i Record Videos sometimes
5) While wireless charging
This is really bad Never had such a Issue

I agree with some of the sentiments here that the device can seemingly get pretty warm - especially when I tweaking things or using apps that use a lot of CPU or using the camera for too long. But I do believe a lot of it is related to the aluminum/glass case - I believe Samsung is basically taking advantage of the case as a though it were a heatsink - releasing all the heat into your hand/pocket/air.

This is truly the first phone i've had that manages to stay under 100° F even when cpu frequency is locked to the maximum and I'm playing very gpu-intensive games, provided that i'm not charging the battery and the phone is not in an unusually warm environmnt like a hot car. I should mention that i'm rooted and lots of preloaded software has been removed. I would download some sort of process monitor and check it to see if there's a misbehaving app to blame if this is happening regularly.

Hey,
I saw that you posted a solution when someone had problems with his S6 edge overheating. I've an S6 and I think I might have the same problem.
I was wondering if you could spare some time to help me. I posted my problem here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/help-s6-cpu-getting-hot-t3180011
I used Antatu benchmark and CPU temperature to test my phone and it got to 84.0 C twice, once when it was testing my CPU to it's fullest and once when it was testing game performance.
So I was wondering if you could run the test as well and tell me what temperature you got so I can compare. Thanks
I haven't tried your method yet but I will tomorrow.

For the record, mine just hit 85C while running AnTuTu. As far as daily use, it made a world of difference on my phone when I flashed the stock firmware the first time. The phone was terribly hot in my pocket when I was not doing anything, and it was SUPER laggy when I was. Not something I expected from this phone. After the flash, it was a Beast and ran MUCH cooler. It would get warm still when doing intensive tasks, but that would be expected from an Octa-core phone in my opinion. It does not get uncomfortably hot anymore, like it used to though. I would imagine it went WAY above 85C when it got hot before, because it was actually hard to hold at times.
If you have not flashed it since new, I would highly recommend it. I know it's a pain, but it's a one time thing that you never have to do again, and the benefit MIGHT be large. No guarantees, as you may not have the same issue, but I've received a lot of reports from people who have done it and they say it breathed new life into their phones. For me personally, it was DEFINITELY not a placebo affect. It was night and day.
With all that said, I've got my S6 Edge up for sale right now as I've moved to Apple for a little while. I continually jump around, and T-Mobile offered the iPhone 6 for $15/mo and I can trade it in 3 times in the next 18 months for free and keep paying $15/mo for the newest phone. I'm looking forward to seeing the difference in the iPhone 6s. If it sucks, I'll be trading it in shortly for another Android phone.
PS: AnTuTu final score: 69314!!!! Wow!!!
One more thing. To eliminate ALL lag and slowdown, I replaced the Samsung Launcher with the Google Launcher. What a difference that alone makes! Seriously, try that one thing. It's huge. The Samsung Launcher has some issue somewhere that they still need to address.

I did not buy my S6 edge on contract with any service provider. I have all the same problems though. Will this solution work for me?

It should. As long as Smart Switch can recognize your phone model and download the Correct Firmware, the Flash WILL help the Heating and Lagging problem. If your phone is not recognized, then Smart Switch will not do anything. It's worth a try.

For me it happens especially when im playing arround with that samsung theme store build in app. I don't know why that app needs so much power to have that effect on the phone but for sure its something samsung needs to look at.
For sure they need to re-design that app from the scratch. Its like the "my first homepage" of theme apps.

Performance of Nexus 5X

Hi guys, I ordered Nexus 5X but I'm really worried about it's performance.. I heard so much about lag that I'm seriously thinking about cancelling my order and getting Nexus 6P instead.. Are issues like laggy Chrome, laggy google keyboard, throttling.. real? Thank you

Laggy keyboard (and touch screen lag in general)- a problem for some devices when fast-charging with the OEM charger. Sol'n - buy or hassle google into giving you a playstore 3amp generic charger (which has a proper ground).
Throttling - will throttle is put through multiple benchmarks. Sol'n - just use your device. There may be some throttling when gaming etc. You won't notice or care except to be pleasantly surprised at how little heat it produced under stress.
Never had a problem with lag in chrome except on pages with multiple adds and that's just an internets problem.

Hmm, thank you.. But then, why are so many people complaining about lag? In every review they are complaining about lag..

Mayy i ask what reviews you are talking about? I have yet to say one that says that from a semi-credible source. Note! There are many many android specific websites but only a small amount of them would i consider to be trustworthy in general.

I cant recall names of them all, but Verge for example. And they are many people having lag and complaining in a forums too: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/VDpAhli9X3c;context-place=topicsearch/5x$20lag . So you guys seriously have 0 lag and it running buttery smooth all the time?

I feel performance is basically identical to my Nexus 5 for everyday use. I can't comment much on gaming or heavy 3D applications as I have only played a few minor games.

so far my phones runs completely smooth. the fast-charging lag is present, but the phone thankfully doesn't have to spend to much time on the cord. lag related to ad-loaded websites is easily dealt with via adblockers, and has nothing to do with the device.
now most importantly consider that the complainers more often than not will make the most noise. there are a lot of devices out there, especially those with successful predecessors, that in general are perfectly fine, but for example didn't meet the expectations of people who tend to be vocal about that.

I know that there have been some reports/complaints of lag here and on reddit, but I can't reconcile them with my experience. I think they must be attributable to poorly coded apps or bad hardware. My 5X has not given me any problems at all and is entirely lag free (I am bone stock by the way). Note that I am not a big gamer, so I can't really speak to that use case.
Now, there is no doubt that the 6P has higher specs. If you wan the highest specs available, you should get the 6P. But, in terms of real-world usability the 5X is great. I would suggest taking a look at the performance charts in the Anandtech review of the 6P -- you will see that in most (not all) respects the 5X is actually quite close to the 6P in terms of performance.
Lastly, the 2 GB of RAM was a worry for me when I purchased the 5X but it has absolutely not been an issue. Right now, my 5X is on its 10th day of uptime. 38 apps have used memory in the last 24 hours, and I currently have 483 MB free. Outside of android processes and Chrome (which is a hog), the next highest memory use for an app is sitting at 66 MB. In other words, I still have plenty of overhead RAM-wise.

Hey there. I've got my Nexus 5X two weeks ago, and I have been experiencing issues with it, however, I believe they are entirely software related.
Just a little while ago, my phone got in a terrible state. Something was using the Location constantly, and the CPU was at 100% at all times. The phone slowed down to a crawl, and I had to eventually reboot it.
All that has led me here to the forum, to see if fellow XDA members have found the culprit. And, judging from the other posts, I seem to be right, and this seems to be entirely software related, and related to some app that I have installed - though I'm not letting Android off the hook yet. I'm in a bit of a problematic situation, as I have no means of connecting my phone to my computer (I haven't bought an USB type C to type A cable yet), so, I can't root and investigate further right now.
All in all - I don't really worry. I'm sure all of this can get fixed. I'll try a new kernel and a process monitor as soon as I find a way to root my phone, get a custom recovery on it, etc. But yes, as of right now, there seems to be something misconfigured with the Nexus 5X, as I hear no complaints from my friend who has a Nexus 5 running Marshmallow, and as far as I have read - no complaints from Nexus 6P users, either.
Will try to update you if I find any data!

Thank you guys, but I'm not getting Nexus 5X. I can't risk anything.. I need smooth and fast phone from day 1.. So I'm getting Nexus 6P instead..

This phone is fast and snappy. My friend's 6p is the same.
CPU performance of the 808 and 810 are very similar.
Performance issues any might be experiencing would be software related. My 5x is smooth and snappy at all times, especially the camera: it's lightning fast compared to my N5 which was no slouch. Gaming performance is also a huge step up from my N5, it actually runs cooler and longer while pumping out higher sustained FPS.
I'd even say there's no faster device you can buy new for $379.

Pixel SD821 is essentially a SD820

Does it tick anyone off that Google put a 'SD821' in your phone, downclocked it to exact SD820 speeds, then sells it as a SD821? The difference between the two is that Qualcomm essentially overclocked the SD820 and called it the SD821 as the two have the same architecture. Then Google apparently downclocks them back down to stock speed and still calls them the Pro chip? Sounds like false advertising that they got around by advertising the downclocked speeds. They knew most customers just care that 821 is bigger than 820, as they don't pay attention the the real tech specs. The SD821 does offer better power consumption efficiency and downclocking will make that actually show, but when the battery easily lasts more than all day, I would rather have the performance increase, but maybe that is just me.

Most customers are checking the chip model? I think not!

Google didn't "downclock" the 821. There are 2 versions of the 821. One that is clocked higher and one that is more battery efficient.
http://www.xda-developers.com/a-loo...he-snapdragon-821-in-the-google-pixel-phones/
It's not false advertising. Its an ill informed consumer.

+1 to dbrohers comment.
Further.....this is the smoothest performing phone and great battery life. I would rather keep it as is with a lower clock speed.
I don't think Google was concerned with drag racing against other phones in benchmarks. They went for popular vote of a smooth experience with great battery life.

This was known before the phone was even released. It's a non-issue. Are you having performance issues with the phone?

Most likely both versions of the 821's are just high binned 820's. When they fab chips on a wafer the ones closest to the middle generally can hit higher clocks with lower power. So they probably have been holding back the best ones since the beginning and waiting until the fall to release them as the 821.

Okay so Google opted for a 5% battery gain instead of a 10% performance gain? I'm glad I chose the latter.

I don't have the phone, just wondering about perspective from the owners of the phone. I have the Zenfone 3 Special Edition and love everything about it. The Pixel XL had me strongly considering it because of the software update benefits, however it just fell short in too many areas hardware wise.

They went for battery life over smoothest performance. Granted that at these speeds general performance differences will be almost indistinguishable, but when they choose to go with the slower version, they are not choosing smoothest performance. I do not doubt the performance is butter smooth, especially on Nougat, but 'smoothest' performance would've come from the faster clocked SD821.

Gotcha. Well, the phone is absolutely buttery smooth. The camera is epic. The battery life is incredible. The only thing I miss really is the water proof thing I had with the note 7. And the S pen. I miss my pen.

The user experience is perfect for me. They got the speed and efficiency balance spot on.

Wait....so you decided to start a thread in the Pixel forums challenging the performance characteristics of the phone that you don't even own one? lol
The difference in clock speed relative to it scrolling through the app drawer, or between home screens might make a .01 millisecond difference?
You could also buy an unlocked version and I am sure there is someone who will modify the kernal for the higher clock speed.

I wasn't challenging anything. I was asking what people thought of it as it was my runner up phone. I simply wanted to know how it panned out and what people thought of the thing that turned me away from it. The pixel section isn't exclusively for Pixel owners bud.
I wasn't even worried about the speed of doing menial tasks such as scrolling through the app drawer, I was wondering about app launch speed and performance of the most demanding games down the road. Home launcher performance is a pretty weak measuring stick for performance. Having said that, as much as I love this ZenUI3.0, I wonder if the Pixel Launcher is somehow better, if that is even possible, simply because Google coded the OS and the app which gives them a huge advantage. I will have to reserve judgement until I get a chance to play with a Pixel though. On the flip side, ZENUI3.0 might be better as it is a perfect experience and this is Google's first go at a custom launcher (though I doubt that kept them from making something exquisite). Regardless, I'm not asking about opinions on the Launcher as it is subjective and it won't tell me anything. I wanted to know if people would've rather seen the higher performance or the battery. I have the higher performance version and my phone has a smaller battery than the Pixel's but my battery lasts a lot more than the day long expectation I have. So I wonder why Google felt they needed better battery life because if my battery lasts a crazy long time, the Pixels would naturally last longer. It just feels like you didn't need more battery life but every phone could always use more performance. I presume your phone keeps charge for two full days. Do you really feel your phone benefits from that 5% battery life boost when you could've had 10% performance boost instead? (Performance that would come in handy, especially when driving that QHD display on High end VR Games down the road). The choice just doesn't make sense to me from Google's standpoint, so I figured I would find out how the owners of the phone felt about it.
Btw, I don't put custom ROMs on my devices anymore unless it is absolutely necessary. I've rarely seen a good one and still not as smooth as stock android.

All i know is my Pixel user experience is much better than my Note7. Speed feels on a whole different level. And battery seems much better.
But alot of that i think is samsungs junkware. It was always running like 20% cpu just being idle. Where i catch my pixel chillin at 0% alot of times

Yeah waterproofing would've been awesome. The SPen is cool but I personally never used it. My finger works just fine and it would take me longer to pull the pen out and I don't do any note taking. I didn't have the note 7 though so I am ignorant on some of the SPen features it had. I really want to get my hands on a Pixel XL and see how Google did first hand. I personally hate Apple as a company and was hoping the Pixel would get some of the ignorant iPhone users to switch to Android. Most will just keep blindly buying Apple though. I think Daydream VR could possibly be flashy enough for them to consider switching though.

To me personally this phone does miss a beat. If you're worried about performance don't be. I haven't had a single moment where my phone slows down or freezes or anything. Ive had it down to 475mb of ram once. And this thing never slowed down. The speed stayed the same. But that's just from personal experience. So those are my 2 cents. ????

Obviously you meant to say, "To me personally this phone does NOT miss a beat."
Not worried about general performance, I knew that would be fantastic regardless of the SD821 they chose. I mean Google coded the Pixel end to end and regardless of which version of the CPU they decided to use, it was going to run butter no matter what. Just to me, when your battery is already leaving you wonder if you will ever need to charge it again, then 10% performance gain is more valuable to me than 5% battery. To some, that 5% battery might be better if they will never game. For me, I want to put VR games on it that will push it to its limits. I just wish they would've come out with two versions and given the consumer the choice. I really wanted to be first in line for updates, but it's okay I love my phone.
Have any of you tried out Daydream VR yet?

Eh....phone is butter....battery is butter...don't give a hoot about 0.1 of a clock speed difference....don't care about benchmarks...don't care if the phone does happen to jank on a game because more than likely it'll be a poorly coded one. Remember, not all stuttering is because of a phone's specs. Sometimes people just suck at coding.

Trust me that 10% difference will never be noticeable in real life usage.
If you never used a custom ROM that performs better then stock? PureNexus everrytime performs better on the Nexus phones. The developer will also release a Pixel rom, PurePixel?
You can always get that extra performance with a little modding.
No reason not to use the custom rom. More features then stock, performs better in speed, battery life and is updated with security updates.
Only reason I have not bought the Pixel yet is because first thing I will do is unlock bootloader. Install TWRP and custom rom. That's not available yet.

Tab S 8.4( SM-T700 ) is very slow

Hi guys,
I've been having this tablet since almost 5 years, at the beginning it was very fast. Fast forward a few years I noticed it has slowed down a lot ( very laggy when playing game like it was lack of ram), it's very hard to navigate on chrome on certain websites, it's so slow that I just stop using it sometimes. I was looking forward for the Tab S3 but it's out of my budget right now. I've tried to format the tablet twice with no success at all. I have developer mode enabled. I've tried to put the animation time down to 0.5x, it hasn't change anything at all. I was wondering if there's anything I could do before it joins the graveyard. I love Samsung products, I'm using a S9 right now and I have the galaxy gear S3 as well but this tablet is killing me.
Thanks

Have you tried a factory reset? deleting all cache? removing unneeded apps? check to see how much ram is being used directly after reboot to see if some apps that are loading can be removed and loaded only when needed?
There are a lot of things that can cause this. I'm running los Nougat on mine and it's perfectly fine, no issues, very responsive.
One thing I'd suggest is don't use Chrome. It uses a ton of memory. I'd suggest switching to los Jelly browser, it's very bare bones, as a browser on a tablet should be.

Hi,
I did try a factory reset along with deleting the caches, I have to take a look into my apps though, I have maybe 800-1gb of ram free when rebooting. I use Nova Launcher hence I pretty much have the same setup than on my cellphone. By slow I mean by example when playing 8 pool, when I hit the ball it move slowly exactly like the tablet would ram. I recl seeing that on my old PC back in the time when I was lack of ram, lol.

I have the same tablet as well, perhaps I shall try a factor reset one day.
It's hard to believe newer tablets will run faster, while the specs aren't that significantly higher. Not much more ram, processor not much faster.
It's almost as if they've deliberately slow down the device as it gets old (like that Apple scandal a while back), but I'm sure that's not the case here, as XDA guys would have dug out that dirt pretty quickly.
I shall try out a reset, and see if it's any better. My last resort will be to replace the battery, I've ebayed one a while back, but never gotten to use it yet.
I will try out a different browser too. I do agree Chrome has gotten quite fat lately. Looking at the Chrome task manager on the desktop reveals some scary amounts of memory used.

Removing the sd card helped me a lot

Removing SD? Wth? If that's the solution, it can go as well to the garbage.

Same here, I just getting this second hand Tablet 2 weeks ago. The Tab is in 99% perfect condition. All running good. It was running stock 6.0.1 MM. Then when i'm trying to swipe the home screen, it's lag and the lag is very noticeable. Then, I'm thinking "Why is this device very slow even they have a high spec?". This is the first time i use this tablet. The reason why i bought a second hand is because, i can't afford Galaxy Tab S2 or Tab S3 and i'm such a poor guy so the Tab S 8.4 is enough for me ?. But, i know how to tweak it better so it makes the CPU awake like before they come. That day i downgraded the Tab to Stock Kitkat 4.4.2 and i never forget to root it. After that, installing eRobot rom v.3.1 Stock Kitkat and also flashed Skyhigh Kernel which is gives you a powerful control of device CPU/GPU. After finishing the setup. and setting up the Skyhigh Kernel(Overclocking CPU/GPU) then reboot. After rebooting, my Tablet come to fresh again and it fresh like new ?. The CPU comes awake and performance always on. But, the powersaving can't really do anything and the battery may drain faster if you're a heavy user. Thank goodness there is still people developing the Kernel. I feel better now. I'm using this Tablet mostly for editing pictures, search information, and listening to music

Then when i'm trying to swipe the home screen, it's lag and the lag is very noticeable. Then, I'm thinking "Why is this device very slow even they have a high spec?". This is the first time i use this tablet. The reason why i bought a second hand is because, i can't afford Galaxy Tab S2 or Tab S3 and i'm such a poor guy so the Tab S 8.4 is enough for me ?. But, i know how to tweak it better so it makes the CPU awake like before they come. That day i downgraded the Tab to Stock Kitkat 4.4.2 and i never forget to root it. After that, installing eRobot rom v.3.1 Stock Kitkat and also flashed Skyhigh Kernel which is gives you a powerful control of device CPU/GPU. After finishing the setup. and setting up the Skyhigh Kernel(Overclocking CPU/GPU) then reboot. After rebooting, my Tablet come to fresh again and it fresh like new ?. The CPU comes awake and performance always on. But, the powersaving can't really do anything and the battery may drain faster if you're a heavy user. Thank goodness there is still people developing the Kernel. I feel better now. I'm using this Tablet mostly for editing pictures, search information, and listening to music

I also bought it second hand but in my case it is to watch Netflix series on hd with that magnificent amoled and the truth is that I am very happy once I have changed the battery. I'm on android 6 official. The only solution for the tablet to run well in official marshmallow is using the disable package that makes it very usable, a real improvement but for my use the battery lasts 20% more without freezing anything from Samsung, this costs to understand for me but it is like this. For multimedia this tablet is spectacular and that is my use, especially thanks to the 16 10 format, it is ideal. The S4 I do not like, it's very big and very expensive. Long life tab S of 8.4 hahaha ???

Overall speed

Would you say that the Samsung Galaxy S10+ is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Samsung Galaxy S10+ exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

This phone is blazingly fast. Everything I do is in a snap. And it's not just the processor and gpu speed. It's also the way they have setup the One UI. This phone is heads and shoulders above anything I've ever used. I got an Antutu score of 348112 right out of the box. That's seriously impressive.

Exynos or SD?

No lag here, the phone flys.

Me too coming from iPhone X
This is the fastest and best phone I ever used :good:
Exynos version

fast as .... any faster phones the performance will only really be noticed in benchmarks. Gaming wise I wouldn't even bother thinking about it on a phone so I wouldn't compare that aspect.

I can’t remember the last phone that wasn’t fast. They are all fast.

It actually is more responsive than the iPhone, even the XS. I'm coming from the XS and the S10+ is faster and most of the time as fluid.

But not all of them are fluid
It is the first android for me to be as fluid as the iPhone X or better in some cases

Yeah, after n8, and s9. This phone is very fluid. I 've put all animations to 0.5x, installed nova, because stock is laggy, and it is very fast.

After iPhone 6s plus its the heaven lol. But for real I love this phone. Fluid, stable etc

That phone can get as fast as I need. But it may become way too hot.

It definately feels snappier and nicer to use than my iphone max, but for intensive tasks like if you're a gamer the iphone trumps it, the frame rate drops and pauses are annoying on the S10+ but for everything else the S10 +seems faster.

The Exynos9820 is Bloody Fast
But not as fast as the SD Variant, as per usual, the way OneUI is setup to work with both variants really takes advantage of the SoC's and does not ever feel like the days of old Touchwiz, cause lets be honest, the more they distance themselves from Touchwiz, the better their phones have gotten.

Blazing fast phone. My 3 year old LG was getting waay too sluggish, apps were slow, keyboard was slow, everything was just tired. This phone flies. Very, very happy with my purchase.

The processing speed is fine, but what good is that when it takes so long to get the phone open using the fingerprint reader that doesn't work most of the time?

Hallow

Very spped

I hope the speed will remain the same after half a year
