A few weeks back I flashed the TRR 1.5 (based on ICS).
I've noticed that when watching videos or playing games (i.e. any graphic intensive tasks) my Note gets up very quickly and my battery drains out very fast (all out within an hour)
I have checked all the processes and none of them seem out of line. So can't figure out the reason.
Could it be that the GPU does not kick in for graphics intensive tasks? Or is there another reason for it? Any ideas/pointers.

Hi all,
I've recently installed Rocket ROM v13 along with AbbyssNote 2.6, but I'm experiencing frequent phone freezes and a abnormal warm device.
I've tried setting the voltages back to standard values, but that hasn't fixed the problem.
The freezing happens the most when launching the browser and less frequently when playing games.
Is there a way to test what frequencies work with what ideal voltages? And getting rid of the heat would be nice too Thanks in advance
The heat is probably mostly from the Wifi problem. You may also have trouble with CPU being overactive.
Leave the voltage alone as it will cause stability problems. Its just a bandaid and not the real solution to your heat issue.
What is the room temp and battery temp of your phone?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
My battery ranges from 40-50C when on idle use. The room is around 20C.
The phone gets really hot on the top 20% whenever I use it for a decent amount of time.
I currently have the phone on default settings. From 200-1400 Mhz and the voltages found here.
This heat is something i am battling with also, tried many things even reducing volts does not seem to help.. i think it's just the way it behaves.
so i've been playing Injsutice: Gods Among Us with mobile data (for me to logged on and to access daily challenges), after 20-30 mins of playing, the game started to drop its framerate and i felt the phone is hot. I exited the game and i accidentally press the camera icon, to my surprise, the camera says something like, 'You can not use the Camera due to high temperatere...."
so i installed elixir and cpu-z for me to know the temperature, after several hours, i tried again to play Injustice with mobile data off, the phone became hot after 40minutes of game play and it has a fluid framerate and the camera works fine. the temperature was around 47C.
i cooled down the phone, and played with mobile data on, after 20mins the game drops it's framerate and the camera is not working again. it has a temperature of 49.6C
the question is:
- i know playing hd graphics keeps the phone hot, but is it normal to all z1 users especially when it's already forcing the CPU/GPU to lower its performance and prevent the camera from being used?
- do i have the right to get a replacement for the phone?
- have you also experienced this when gaming? especially online?
note:
- i'm running a rooted, locked bootloader, firmware .136
- underclocked at 1.75GHz

Try to record you problem and ask for a replacement, this is not a normal behavior....
tnx for your opinion, i think i need to read more about z1 overheating issues

QuadCore running for several minutes means heat generally.
But beside what phone exactly do to control heat the apps u use are important too.
for example famous angry birds make my phone hot! But Fifa-14 doesn't!
under-clocking doesn't mean certainly u won't get battery draining or heat issue
it needs also compatible kernel
anyway heat issue is not always because of hardware cause there s also heat-controller (or sth like this) inside firmware that can working not so good and u should repair ur phone by PCC
to be sure if it s hardware problem and ask for replacement, first completely restock it.

try underclocking your cpu to 900mhz you'll notice no slowdowns in game but the phone will still overheat, that is because the GPU is causing the overheat and is the one struggling in games, not the monstreous CPU in the z1. you can try flashing doom kernel or AOSP kernel by android.fr to underclock your GPU.
The phone will get hot anyway, doesn't take much, but playing a hd game will cook the bugger. Never play when plugged in if you are, put your apps on a diet and get rid of anything that you can do without, lightening your load will help a lot. Personally I wouldn't consider it a problem unless its affecting gameplay. The drop in frame rate is the CPU clocking down to protect it, which is a good thing and quite normal. So you have a case on your phone? Try it without If you do. If the phone begins to shut itself down then that's a worry and you should certainly look for a replacement.
Hope this helps.

Hello all!
When I use my Z3C and doing nothing, I mean... just having the phone in my hand, slide between homescreen pages juste for... you know... when you have this sexy lady in your hand... just for looking
But even if I do almost nothing with it, I feel the back hot and my battery apps tell me that the battery is more than 40 degrees. Just for better results I downloaded the app "CPU temp" or "CPU-Z" and it tells me that the CPU is at 45 degrees.
And when I play games the back is more hot!
I just want to know if it's normal? If your Z3C is hot too. I know if I play it's hot but if 40 degrees just for using it with normal apps (Twitter etc...) it's normal?
Can you make some quick test, download CPU-Z and check the "thermal" tab for example or what you want?
For more simplicity in the thread, if you want and if you can, download the app CPU-Z and post the result of "thermal" tab here (just the first line temp), thanks!
And I even see videos of AnTuTu benchmarks on YouTube and the Z3C is at 47xxx... but my Z3C is always between 43xxx - 44xxx ... I don't know if it's the same problem. What scores have you in AnTuTu?
thank you all!
(My phone is STOCK and completly clean, just hard reset before test temp)
my phone is always on 50+ celsius but i think it's normal. it happen on LG G3 too
After about 15 minutes of gaming, my sensor says 40.0 c., but I also have my CPU downclocked by a lot to extend battery life by huge margins. Stock setting puts the CPU frequency at 2.5ghz, and I have mine downclocked to 1.0ghz since I didn't see direct impact on performance with the games I'm playing (mostly emulators or GPU-dependent games).
tsens_tz_sensor0 is the highest at 40.0 c
msm_therm is the lowest at 32.0 c
At stock settings though, my phone runs at 50.0c on average, and it heats up about as much as my Galaxy Note 3 when they're playing the same games. For awhile, I thought the Z3c just heated up more than other phones, but after playing with both phones at relatively the same time, I realize that's pretty much just in my head.
Oh, forgot to mention. Also running on stock 5.1.1 that's rooted, debloated, xposed with greenify and amplify, and a custom Luxx profile to manage adaptive brightness.
I decided to download Asphalt 8 last night to see how the Note 5 handles it, initially it looked good but after 20 seconds or so the frame rate slowed down considerably - I would guess less than 10 frames a second. I uninstalled it, cleared the cache, reinstalled but still the same issue. This is on High settings which is the default setting. It's like the phone starts to throttle after a short amount of time racing?
Is anyone else playing Asphalt 8, have you seen anything similar?
I downloaded AnTuTu bench and was getting over 60,000 which seems in line with other Note 5's and 3D Mark also seems to match up so i'm not sure if this is just Asphalt 8 or a bigger problem.
I installed CPU-z so I could monitor temperature and if I check it when the game is running slow the Exynos reports around 60c which doesn't seem that high?
i've only tried it on my S6e without any noticeable issues. do you have Power Saving mode off?
(Sent from another Galaxy)
Yup both power saving modes are definitely off.
There are drops in some games after minutes of gameplay, that because of Samsung TW DVFS, which basically monitors and throttles the CPU way too fast.
If u have root, u can set cpu govenor to performance when playing, that will eliminate all the lag, that what i do.
Why is performance throttling so aggressive with the P9? I live in a tropical country where the weather is very hot right now and my P9 can't seem to take the heat. After a few minutes of using GPU intensive apps like the PS1 emulator ePSXe, the currently loaded game (FFIX) lags terribly and switching apps considerably slows down. I've also noticed this throttling starts to take effect whenever my phone gets below 50%. This also happens on other games like SimCity where panning the map is horrendously slow, gets smooth after a few minutes but then lags afterwards.
Is there some way to at least tone down the throttling, or are we stuck with this? My previous phone was a G4 but it did not lagged nor throttled aggressively like the P9.
...or is there a custom ROM for the P9 yet? Cyanogen? Lineage? Or is there a way to 'downgrade' to Marshmallow? I think performance was a bit better before upgrading to 7.0
Thanks!
I'm on the B381 Nougat build, EVA-L19 model.
There was a thread here that explained that there was a thermal limit set around 50 degrees celsius and could be altered to have a higher thermal limit. You will have to search for it.
