Please post questions in the Q&A section.​

its just normal.

your phone will get hot as the cores process heafty info. As said above its quite normal and nothing to worry about. Unless of course you actually mean 'overheating' like you are getting reboots and FC all the time?? If not then its not OVER heating its just getting hot.

Try to change your kernel. I see that you are still using stock kernel.
The best kernel for my device last time I tried to reduce the heat is speedmod. Though you may choose other kernels which suit your device more.
But if you decide to flash any kernel, read the thread you are visiting first carefully before proceeding. All the OP has stated very clear on how to flash the kernel.
Good luck!
edit :
but once again, as what others say... heating in android when you are using for heavy games, is normal.
but when surfing, should not be as hot as playing heavy games.

I'm on CM9, I just underclock to 1000Mhz and set it to performance so it's at 1000Mhz all the time while playing. Works fine for the games I play. Don't try playing while charging, it gets insanely hot.

You can install any app that would monitor your motherboard temp (or battery temp actually? I notice that they are always the same temp)
Anyways, I use Cool Tool from the android market..
I just noticed that my note reaches ~54-55 degrees celcius when I play GTA III + charger plugged in.. normal operating temp of my note is ~38 degrees..
I know its kinda hot to the touch but I'm confident because I know from my background in electronics that the components are designed to withstand temps higher than that.. :highfive:

it is normal for the phone to get heated up when playing games that uses the full power of the CPU/GPU. Only if you have your phone heating up under normal use, you need to worry. I guess all phones get heated up when playing MC3 or Asphalt. Correct me if I'm wrong.

yes i agree that while playing games note,s area near camera becomes hot and i think it is normal ! but what about the screen my notes screen also becomes extreme hot and it is very hard to play on a hot screen ! Which kernel will fix this problem ? if i flashed a speed mod kernel then how can i come back again on my stock kernel ?

I would agree with the previous posts. If your Note is overheating playing Angry Birds or Chess then there is a problem, but not if you are playing more data intensive games. it's dual core running at 1.4 so it should deal with most things you throw at it.
If you are using seriously data intensive games / apps, you could try a kernel which can be overclocked to 1.6 (Hydracore Extreme is an example). You will find it on Chasmodo's EXCELLENT Kernel Repository. Download the kernel, reboot to Recovery and flash the zip file.
Download the No Frills CPU app from Play Store and you can set the CPU to 1.6. Personally, I cant think of many reasons why you would need that but the option is there.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "best kernel", it's really a matter of personal choice. Speedmod, Franco, Chainfire and Hydracore are all excellent on Stock based ROMs, depending on your personal preference. I would recommend flashing each one, see how it suits your own requirements and then try another. Hydracore is accepted by many as the "Universal Kernel" so why not try that one first then gauge the others? You will have a wider selection of Governors and Schedulers to "tweak" the kernel according to yur preference. Personally, Hydracore underclocked to 1000, on Wheatley Governor gives me the best performance and battery for my needs. Ultimately each person will have different uses and therefore different preferences.

yes i was just reading the thread and i saw that" The OC/UV kernel is undervolted, and in some circumstances can offer significant performance improvements. However, it *may* use more battery and you phone will get a little warmer." this was written in the thread . how is the abyss note kernel ?

i was reading the hydracore thread

Abyss is a Gingerbread kernel so not compatible with ICS or JB ROMS. I don't believe there is such a thing as a "one size fits all" solution. I haven't found any kernels to be "battery killer". Screen, GPS, 3G and WiFi kill the battery.
The joy of 'droid is the customization.

Please read the Kernel Repository to make sure you are comfortable with what you are doing. Hyrdracore is a Safe kernel, I would recommend trying the Standard version first (not the Extreme version). As always, you flash at your own risk. Please read before you flash.

is undervolting safe and does it save battery? worth it?

and most importantly how is it done?
84 veiws but nor responses? I thought this would be a hot topic seeing as its supposed to do wonders for battery life
Undervolting saves me battery life. And, more importantly, all you have to do is change your kernel - not that difficult.

I wouldn't go lower than 925mV kernels for the Nexus One.
Use a good kernel and a good ROM, and just by doing that, you're got better battery life. Oh, and never, ever, EVER, use a task killer. They're completely pointless.

Most ROM's have at least the stock kernel built in, but it's usually safe to flash any kernel on any ROM, so long as the OS matches.
Make a backup before you do anything. If you've got a working ROM, back a nandroid backup, then flash to your heart's content. If the phone decides not to boot, just yank the battery and then boot into recovery (hold trackball + power button) and restore your backup.
thanks for the help

Try the 925mV CFS 1113 Mhz kernel from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693375
If you don't install setcpu it will stay at the stock 998 Mhz, so don't worry about overclocking if you don't want that.

GALAXIAN kernel for battery life
Galaxian kernel is very popular with the i9000 users. There is two versions gt and EE. Gt is for a faster phone and EE is for better battery life, would recommend it, it also supports lag fix, voodoo and its very stable.
hope i helped
try it and tell me if its better than your current kernel

You can always go back to stock...

stock kernel does't have much features like overclocking and other features.
ROTFL.... what stops you from TRYING each of it? Flashing kernel is 5 minutes long...
Here is a link by krarvind for CM7/MIUI kernels
Alternatively , You may try this Rom - MIUI 1.10.8: Nothing Fancy DIY I get around 30-40% remaining after above medium use every day, Oced at 1.3Ghz. No FCs ever and very smooth. Its a non wipe, just format system, wipe cache & Dalvik cache and flash this, you will not lose any data or apps. But do a nandroid backup beforehand, just to be safe . Also its got Voodoo color.
PS : Try this ThunderBolt! v1.3 CWM script with this rom. It markedly improved my phones performance.
Try it and let me know

[Q] Random Clicks on EVERY OC kernels

Hey there, after awhile finally I made an effort making my first post on xda.
I have flashed many kernels, starts from cf-root b82, b83, b84, blackhawk oc kernel, zimagemod.
I faced this problem: a random clicks when I clicked somewhere on the screen, it's always clicked itself randomly around the halfway down the screen on the left side. It only happens when I use OC kernel like b83, b84, blackhawk oc with >480MHz frequency. Please help me I don't know wether it's a repost or not but I can't find similar problems/fixes. Currently I'm in Gingerbread DXKPB, random ROM, but it happens with any rom with OC kernel.

[Q] Best Kernel for ICS Based Incredible S

Hi. If the same thread is already exists, please forgive me. Been trying to find similar thread for about 3-4 pages here, but none found.
If no, well, can anyone here suggest the best kernel for ICS based ROM for our IncS in term of performance and battery life. Thanks in advance.
XS-ICS.
What's the benefit of this kernel over another? I am sorry I am also new to this. If you can just provide some high level overview

Hi. From my point of view, each kernel has it's own advantages and disadvantages in terms of performance, battery life and etc. For custom kernel like X2 ICS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851121), you can overclock your IncS to higher CPU speed but PLEASE bare in mind, even though our device is the same, but that doesn't mean the optimized value to overclock is the same. My suggestion, please look carefully for pro n cons for each kernel in the forum because some kernel is not supported for certain ROMs. For me, I just flashed ICS Sense G11 v2.0.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887379) and it went smoothly with my Android Revolution HD 3.01 ROM.
I have used a couple of custom ICS ROMs (Nik's and IceCold) and I find that the following gives the best choice of governors, clocking variability and battery life.
Choosing the right governor and clock speed will of course impact on your performance.
Also recommend XS ICS 2.2... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851121

what about it? what's your real question? stock is however stock is set up, custom kernels change the CPU setup, in many differing ways. there is no one correct answer as there are many different custom kernels and setups.

if you have issues with the stock kernel, yes. if you want root, yes. should you learn how to set up your cpu properly before changing kernels? yes. learn about the governor/scheduler, how changing them changes your cpu performance. besides that, some kernels add a few minor features as well.
Rooted but as close to stock as possible. I've always had issues with heavily tweaked custom kernels.
They have their place, but not if you wan't a solid rooted daily driver IMHO.

im a well known custom kernel user, and yet I NEVER use any custom kernel as they are set up by the developer. I ALWAYS use my own CPU setups, always. as far as I can tell, my setup is as solid for me as any stock kernel that google provides. but not only solid, my phones performance is kicked up a notch as well as its battery life. and my devices turn out much more responsive too.
Wow you must be very skilled and talented!
Sometimes messing with stuff like that can create bootloops and random freezes.
I also love how you have contributed to this thread by saying how you ALWAYS use your own CPU setups.
It was very informational an helpful.

and that's why its very important to know about governors and schedulers.
here's one of my examples.. for a long time, I was the only one using all 4 cores on , no hotplugging. and many people laughed at me about it, claiming my battery life must suck. but, for android 5.1 google changed the CPU settings for the nexus 6. and many people really noticed about how reactive the n6 became. what did google change? they set the cpu to be always on, no hotplugging :angel:
BTW, I use the ondemand governor with the deadline scheduler. with the sampling rate for ondemand set at 15000 and the sampling rate at 98.
