No there is no way to prevent it from getting hot especially when you're using it to its highest capabilities. Mine sometimes even gets hot when I use wifi for a very long period. So all what you can do is stop playing for sometime to cool it down and there should be no danger of ruining your phone unless you're not overclocking..

No. I think im not overclocking. actually i dont know if i have the overclocking module or not. Im running on GingerDX v24 Stock kernel. i think that about all of what i have in my phone.

You could check if you have overclock module in cyanogenmod settings/performance/CPU and see if there is option to overclock or not.

yes you may prevent it upto a long extent by using chainfire 3d.
and if you want to cool down your phone in a fast way then after it becomes hot
remove the back cover for 5-6 mins then it will cool down fast....
press thanks if I tried to help

Try undervolt! But your games may lag!

GingerDX accelerometer(and compass) problem

I have a problem with a sensors refresh rate (compass and accelerometer).
I can not play games such as Doodle Jump, Asphalt, and other games that use accelerometer, because it responding too slow, the compass also reacts very slowly

Reboot your phone and play the game without opening other apps... Clearing cache doesn't work all the time.

cm10 lock freeze

i installed mini cm 10 on my x8 and facing long term freeze after locking the screen.any solution?gonna roll back to cm7 if there is no cure
Thats a bug in minicm9 and minicm10..
If your phone does not wakes up then press the power button once again and then press the home button 3-4 times. It should wake up..
Presently i am not using that ROM so cant help you much..

thnks,it helped man.which rom r u usin now?
A temporary solution is to use smartassv2 and set the minimum CPU frequency to 245MHz. It works for me (I rarely have this issue) and I hope it works for you.

Stupid Q: won't that affect battery consumption? And if it does, by how much?

I prefer the second choice..

An X8 that is half-dead, or one that uses the battery a bit more?

Lol. I rarely experience that bug. Maybe once every other day. So my phone is definitely not half dead. Not even close. Just wanted to know if it affects battery consumption significantly since getting rid of that bug altogether would be nice.

Nope it doesnt affects the battery conumption too much...
Just will alter it to about 3-5%...

[Q] Xperia TX Problem

I have been using Xperia TX for over 4 months now. I bought it with the Android 4.0.4. Everything was working perfectly well until I updated it to 4.1.2. After the update, the problems started appearing. I'm facing problems specially while playing games. When I play Temple Run 1 or 2, the games keep on pausing in between so very frequently. I tried repairing the mobile and the games worked well a couple of days and the problems came back. Could anyone help me out? Any suggestions guys???
you mean by pausing like going back to Menu of the game? or a delay like a lag?
Not only that, anyone notice that sometime the phone is lock, but the screen backlight still on and battery drain extremely fast.
Which way did you update?
Ftf, zip or Sony pc companion?

I used PC Companion for updating. By Pausing I mean that as if I had pressed the pause button. At times the game does lag too... And that's right sometimes when I press the power button to lock the screen, the screen does not lock instead the back light remains on which does cause the battery to drain fast...
I won't upgrade to JB until the problem is solve.
yeah experienced it with global, unbranded, russian and my original one. Its been a week now trying to get some time reading the forums for any solution before I will update to jb again, cause jb is a lot faster but not design for gaming .:crying:
SOLVED
first the reason of the games lag that THe CPU DROPS FROM 1512 To 380+ the corespeed i`m talking about here <<<
so i had to root and install SET CPU and made 2 profiles for games like temple run i just set the minnum and maximum frequency and its very smooth now so no problems with games..
just relock the phone and and backlit will go ..
Have you tried playing dead trigger and deadzone? Do you have any trouble?

Can you help me out in rooting the TX running Jelly Bean?
Hey guys. I try to flash back to ICS 7.0.A.3.212 and update with PC Companion again. I don't know why now my battery usage are same as ICS, not drain that fast like last time I just updated to JB. I root with Easyrootingkit and I deleted all the useless apps but not Google Now. I realize that after deleted the Google Now and restart my phone, the battery will drain faster, just leave your Google Now there and is better don't turn it on. And don't try to make any changes from the CPU especially using SetCPU, I realize if I change any setting there, when I close the apps, the CPU frequency will change to lower. I know nothing more else, but just trying to share with those who have the same problem like me last time. This method works for me but I don't know others. Now I can used JB normally without and problem.

[Q] Real racing 3 crashes on xperia sp after playing for a while!

I recently installed Real racing on xperia sp but after playing it for sometime it just crashes without any warning and the device is usually a little bit hotter at that particular moment.. this doesnt happens to any other game btw... I am only .257 and currently rooted through doomlord's rooting kit..
graphics are splendid.. i dont know what seems to be the problem.. would love to get feedback on this problem!
I think it is because of overheat. If you make some pauses between races or during a long race for the device to get colder you'll be able to play more time. Any thing you do to keep the phone from overheating will let the game last longer without crashing

I play Real Racing 3 all day and I have never experiences crashes (except when trying to use FPS Meter while playing).
Try clearing all your RAM before playing (killing tasks, etc etc), that's what I do, or you can install RAM Manager and set to Hard Gaming.

Actually I don't play other heavy games so I don't know. It was also crashing on my device but since I blow some fresh air on the back of my device between each race to get it colder, I haven't had crashes anymore. That's why I thought of overheat. Also I found once an app called "prevent overheat" in the running apps just after I played Real Racing 3. Still it may just be a lack of RAM. Or maybe next winter when it's not as hot as now it'll work better
Edit :
I just remembered I also changed ROM to one with other memory management. Maybe that made the difference.
I am also having same issues. Earlier I thought it is due to overheat as I used to play CSR Racing for few minutes & then play RR3. But for last 2 days it crashes as soon as the 1st race, that too when RR3 is the 1st game I play after picking up my phone.
Thanks for the replies guys.. Sorry for the late reply.. I was searching for the solution on my own.. First of all I installed game booster from play.. It gave me a head start of above 10-15 races.. I thought this might do it.. What game booster does is it only frees more ram and shut down processes on its own.. But after 10-15 races.. It crashed so I came to the conclusion that it was a combined problem of ram and overheating.. There should be a solution for overhearing.. I tried removing the back cover while playing and blowing some air.. Lol.. But it isn't that effective.. It just prolongs the crash..

@sonyxperiaplayer...Dude.. How... I am curious.. Everyone else is having trouble in gaming.. Btw the things you do.. I usually take it to the next level.. I kill tasks.. Freeze tasks through titanium.. In developers option.. Check no background activities.. A dn check on don't keep activities.. After all these things I play this game.. But still crash on the first race..
Btw I will try ram management and come back to you on this..

Uh? I've never had any problems with any game. Maybe NFS:MW closing randomly about 2 times but I played that game a lot
I guess you should try and backup your data (and you internal SD Card), reset your phone and see if that helps.
Maybe 1 app is hogging the CPU and RAM...
Good luck

I am having same problem. Only with RR3. I played dead trigger and real boxing for hours and do not crash. My phone heats above the normal, but no too much, but it heats more than in other games.
I noticed that sometimes it crashes when I get some notification, if it can help in your investigation...
By the way....where you go when you want to clear RAM?. I cannot found it in my XSP

BTW the graphic level and detail improve in the latest firmware, now u almost can see the same level graphic and detail as in iPad 4 and iPhone 5...
It crashes because u have bad intrnet connection..not bcause ram or what...

So after play half of hours and my cars is repairing , it doesn't crash anymore
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
I have updated my SP to 2.245 build version & now I can play RR3 for about 30 mins before the game crashes. I just restart the game & can now play for another 15-20 mins before 2nd crash. Occasional stuttering is also there.
On older versions like 1.257, it used to crash after 15 mins maximum at first. After that, it used to last for one race maximum before crashing again.
So I can say that 2.245 update has solved the issue to a large extent.
