Hi! Sorry if this is not the right place to post this, But i cant find anywheres else to post a forum post about this problem. I've looked it up on google and everything, And i just can't find anything.
My main question is what is the safe temp for your LG G4 cpu?
My cpu runs around 30-35c on idle, I do have instagram and messenger, snapchat, and a few other games running so that would make sense.
When playing games on my phone i do reach up to around 40-45c max, I've never seen it go up past 45, It seemed to do quite well around then. The game didint lag and the phone was still snappy.
Is 40-45c safe for it? I dont have a case on it, I just bought it today and already had my lg g3 break on me because of overheating, It destoryed the cpu connections and so. Ya. Do i have to worry about my lg g4 doing the same? Battery temps are all okay, Not worried about them. Just cpu!
Thanks!
45 degrees is too low for multitasking. So it is normal, you don't have to worry about it

Hi Guys,
I've recently got my desire back from a warranty service. The CPU was overheating causing the phone to reboot frequently, usually when browsing or playing games for a while. In the end they replaced the whole main board.
My question is has anyone had a similar experience?
I want to avoid the same thing happening again.
Are there any good widgets out there that tell the temperature of the phone?
If so what is a safe temperature?

I use system info widget, it also has some other nice features.
Actually idk what a safe temperature is for a device of this kind...i've never gone above 42° on normal use, and that was while playing asphalt oced @1384 mhz. Other than this i remember that i once forgot the phone on a radiator (lol) and it was 54° when i picked it up again, but still it didn't feel sluggish/unstable, so i must say i'm pretty impressed
Anyway people use to set the failsafe profile in setcpu @50°, so i guess anything above that can be harmful.
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)
Hey guys!
If searched a lot for a threat regarding this problem, but I only found general overheating issue threads. So please don't be too harsh on me for opening a new one.
I have the LG G3 D855 (16 GB with 2 GB RAM). I'm on Fulmics 5.0, but it's basically on every ROM I've tried since Lollipop.
My G3 gets very hot (up to 75 C° or 167 F°) when I play games, even with "simple" ones like Crossy Road or Clash Royale. Yes, it warms up when I use Chrome or other apps, but never that much, it just gets a little warm. But games really make a small oven out of my G3. Funny thing is, I have Xposed installed and use the module "Performance profile" to throttle the CPU to about 1200 MHz and GPU to 300 MHz in games. It still gets hot, as if I havent changed anything. But I can see the toast notification that the profile kicks in as soon as I start the games.
I've already swapped out the battery (for a new, original LG one and a 6000 mAh extended battery - problem persists). I have Greenify installed and use it for Facebook etc. I have frozen all unneccessary apps like LG Health. I've (clean) flashed different ROMs, I've tried different kernels, it gets maybe a little bit better, but the problem still persists. I changed my DPI from 640 to 550 if that is of any interest.
Other than that, my G3 works like a charm!
Maybe you guys have any advice
Hello! i got my lg g4 as a present 6 months ago never played any games on it before, downloads pokemon go and all is see is 5 to 10 fps what is wrong with the lg g4? how can they even sell this crappy phone? anyway to my question you guys think i would be able to send it back and get a refund? the screen does get so hot that when using it in the sun and then calling someone it hurts your skin...
Same here

im about ready to just go out and buy the oneplus 3... while still paying for the lg g4 well my family member
Just tried it, mine runs the game super smooth. And I've had complains on some other games.

Which Rom you are using?? R u on stock?
the problem is the extreme heat that generates while playing pokemongo...
I've noticed that once the phone gets hot the game starts running slower.
My friend's HTC M9 gets twice as hot but everything still runs smooth.
You can turn off Home screen buttons (those triangle, circle and square shaped) and your fps will be better. Tried and it works.
I'm with T-Mobile USA, software 20i was horrible with the game, when upgraded to 20o version, game got smoother but not as smooth as CM based ROMS. reason why I'm not with CM baseds are because some of reason youtube will freeze on HD playback but audio continues.
If Pokemon is life, go with CM based roms, it'll run so smoothly.
well tbh dont want to root i should not have to if its the heat that is the problem then well LG is bad
to the guy who said something about using a oneplus 3, it also has problems running the game smoothly also the network and gps strength is really poor for some odd reason (software problem) pokemon go is optimized for ios and sammy phones because of the popularity they have
All I can say is that my g4 has dropped many frames and become so hot while playing that I got a temperature warning and 2 minutes later the phone shut itself off
this is my theory LOL i dont know much.. when phone gets hot thermal kicks in so it lowers cpu frequency so thats why you see frame drop.?? and as for heat .. theres no fan in there so heat has to go somewhere i think LG uses the screen to disipate heat...
Guys my G4 never gets noticeably hotter than all my other phones, even I think others are worse. That game I don't have the nervs to play it long time, but for 5min it runs just perfectly. 90% of the games I've tried do.
The games than don't I thing it's more of a compability issue than weak hardware. If that particular game runs normal when the phone is cold there's no chance to see a drop down to 5 or 10fps just because of the heat.
Hey!
So I've recently bought an S20 from T-Mobile. It's a Hungarian model (980F). I'm facing some weird behavior here.
The issue:
In every game I play, from simple 2D connect-three and idle games, to intense things like Asphalt 9, what happens is that for a random amount of time (i've seen everything from 1 second to 10 minutes) the framerate just tanks. And I'm not talking about the Exynos performance fiasco here. This happens regardless of how long I use the phone or how hot it gets.
Some concrete examples:
- So, the cold phone can achieve a relatively stable 60 fps in Asphalt 9. After prolonged gaming, when the phone reaches a temp equilibrium, framerates settle at around 45 fps. That's fine for me, not the topic of this thread. But, sometimes I play for hours, and I keep this steady 45-ish framerate, other times I just pick up the phone, completely cold, and the second I start up the game, even the menu lags, at precisely 20 fps (I measure this with PerfZ). After some time passes, everything is back to normal, 60 fps. Then, again, randomly 20, then back to 60 again.
- I play Adventure Communist a lot (a simple idle button clicker game, nothing graphically intensive) and well as you can imagine, it's fine at 60. But sometimes this game also drops to exactly 20 fps for some random time, then back to normal.
- Subway Surfers runs at 120 stable. This game does not drop to 20, it drops to more like 40ish something (I have not measured an exact number here, just going by feeling).
- As I've said, this all happens regardless of heat. What I've also found is that GPU usage drops down significantly when this happens, as if something artificially limited the game for the time being (like something put an FPS cap on it).
- Interestingly, some games are unaffacted: PUBG Mobile, for example, heats the phone up like hell. After a good 30-40 minutes the framerate drops to well below the cap, but I've never had the issue during any session. The phone just throttles normally, but that's it. Games originally limited to 30 fps also don't experience this (or at least I haven't noticed). Forza Street also stresses the hardware pretty well, that game also drops from 60 to 50 something fps, but never had this weird back and forth switch between 20 and 60 fps. Strange.
What I've tried:
- Changing brightness
- Changing volume
- Through game booster, changing the preferred performance levels
- Downloading game booster plus and messing with it
- Turning on high performance mode in device care
- Disabling adaptive battery, turning off battery optimizations
- Disabling everything network related
- Factory resetting
- I went to a Samsung store, told the technician everything, showed him a vid, he said they've never seen anything like this, if I wanted I could leave the phone there for a software checkup... well... I didn't
- there might have been more things i've tried i cant remember right now, i've tried a lot of things, believe me...
Online research results:
So obviously, where do people go with these problems, of course, Reddit. Now, I haven't found anything about this when I tried searching for gaming related issues, but I've found a thread where a dude complains about his Ultra scrolling at lowered framerates sometimes (which by the way also happens to me, I just chose to ignore it for some reason). In this thread, I've found another dude, who posted a video he made about games, with the exact same issue that I have! So at least 1 other guy has this in the world... And basically this is it. Haven't been able to find anything useful besides this, every other post is just about the Exynos chip being inferior and things like that. I have some videos of it, but my account is fresh so I can't post any links. Just google "S20 Ultra scroll stutter", and the first Reddit post with the same name is what I'm talking about. It's a short thread. You'll find the comment.
I'm pretty sure this is unrelated to the whole "Exynos is trash" topic, as it doesn't depend on temperatures. Also, the fact that this happens in a lot of games, but not in others leads me to believe there might be some system level/software issue here. Also, GPU usage drops when it happens (as I said, like something capped it), this suggests to me the same, some software-level limitation.
Has any of you heard of or encountered this before? Do you have any other ideas what might cause this, and how to fix it?
Thanks for your help.
Didnt experience any of these isuue tho... have you updated the game opt. Service via galaxy store?

Yes, everything is up to date.
Samsung ****ed every exynos user. It's simple as that. Also, no fix, EVER. If you can return it DO IT. No one is going to do anything about it. Everyday I see people starting threads on xda or reddit complaining but nothing is happening. We in Europe have laws that protect us against this kind of ****ery but again no one is ready to fight Samsung. If this continues 80% of forums post will end up like this one.

My issue is not related to temperature and most of the problems that come with the Exynos chip are due to it running hotter and throttling. I don't think this is it.
I have the exact same issue you described with my S20. Searched but haven't found any solution either. Any information on this would be nice.
I do not own an S20 Exynos, I have the Snapdragon variant, but with my S10+ Exynos, I swear that after the Android 10 update I had started to experience the same issue. Even Clash Royale dropped for no reason to 20fps, not to mention Asphalt 9. It would sometimes go away after a reboot, other times not. Guess all you can do is wait for the Android 11 update, unless samsung issues some game optimizing service update that fixes this issue.
