I'm running Slimbean 4.3.1 ROM with Iodak 9.95 kernel. I have played Modern Combat 4 for like 10 minutes and the phone felt like it was about to catch fire. Any idea on how I could solve this?

underclocking and/or and undervolting is really all you can do, the are plenty of protections in the kernel for individual components from overheating, the phone will begin to throttle (automatically underclock) around 75c generally and shut down in the mid 80c. So other than the battery drain, theres not really anything to be concerned with.
....I have a question.. Where is Iodak kernel 9.95? Sorry..

How hot is the phone allowed to be? I wouldnt say that my 4XHD catches fire, but when I do something like play a game it is so hot that I cant touch the back of the phone for ~10 seconds because its too hot. Is this bad for the phone? I did no overclocking oder such things. Stock kernel and Vanir 4.3.

Well theoretically the SoC will start to deteriorate rapidly around mid 90c+ but it has built in protections, independent of kernel/ android to prevent that, still you would have to go out of your way to disable/ remove all protections in the kernel source before that become a problem.
The kernel will shutdown around mid 80s (this number is usually tweaked in custom kernels) but before that the cpu will start throttling mid 70s (and usually temps wont go past this)

yes it does, but only the place where the cpu is placed gets really hot, and I can hold the phone without touching the exact cpu position :victory:

Modern circuits start to degrade at about 70 degrees but below that they will do just fine, 70 degrees will burn your skin to blisters.

I am very disappointed with this device. Since I bought this phone always had problems.
Starting from overheating when I'm playing something.
Then the side of the device begins to peel.
Then mold spots appear on the screen.
Then this whole bootloader, rom buggy, etc.
If this device was really good, I do not feel the need to change rom and make the machine go through so many updates. The handset comes with manufacturing a critical bug in the camera. Among other problems. Now I finally got my braces bad time. If I can not fix it I have to leave for Samsung.
I'm no novice user. I've had three devices of Lg.
Lg Optimus One Phone = Bug Phone.
Lg Optimus 2x = Bug Phone.
And now the Lg Optimus 4x = Hd Bug Phone.
I am seriously evaluating getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Visit the forum of this device in Xda. Hardly find complaints about it.
Lg P880 I bought this because it is cheaper, but now I find that cheap actually ends up costing too high.

Mold spots? If that's true you can't really blame the phone 'cause moisture = mold.
Also, try playing games on any phone and it will get hot. This goes for literally any device on the planet.

Yep same here the "quad core+1" tegra 3 "blazing fast" cpu is one real bad cpu to start with, it sucks for real tasks and overheats for that matter. the screen isn't like the other hd ips screens it has a yellow temperature tint unlike the others the blues look desaturated the most out of all the colors and it feels cheaply made.

please define your "overheating"
overheating is when your device powers off, due to 90°C processor temperature...
the tegra 3 default throttle temp is 85°C, LG's is 71°C... i changed the value in my custom kernel to 80°C, so we can get a better performance also with high temps...
and have you ever been thinking what's working in your device? you've got 4 CPU cores and 1 GPU core... now think of a normal PC, what does a normal PC have, what a phone doesn't? right, a fan. or cooling in general. so the higher temps are completely normal...

Somewhere is problem. I have same phone, only problem is with the bubbles under screen but chrome line still like new, no overheating (max temp about 50° when playing games) and the screen for me much better then samoled (yes, i have s3 and change it - hate design and display absolutly unreadable outside).
And stock rom? Buggy? I havent any stopped aplication since i have this phone, lg launcher is really good.
For me, only bad is camera and sound output with stock player (so im using poweramp )

If you have any problems like bubbles under the screen or excessive-myfingersareburning-overheating you should probably use your warranty and get this device checked by authorized personel. Personally, I had none of these problems you mentioned. Phone is rooted, bootloader is unlocked, CyanogenMod is happily running "under the hood". Stock ROM was pretty good for me, but CM is CM. You can't say 'no' to CM. If you don't like this phone, then sell it. Note 2 is indeed a powerful device, I'm sure that you'll be happy with it. But! This phone has yet to show its true power through custom ROMs and kernels. My old 2010 flagship - HTC Desire - got ROM with JB and Touchwiz5 powered by awesome custom kernel, so I really have no doubts that our O4X, which is 10 times stronger than Desire, will get some sick modifications sooner or later (starting with EternityProject kernel and CM 10.1). Cheers! :highfive:

I can't speak much of comparing the 4X to other phones as my last phone was some crappy chinese knock-off of a htc sensation. But my 4X is built very well (id like to see what you guys mention as 'bubbles' under your screen, was it like that since you brought it?) the phone does get ridiculously hot (you might have seen my thread about my screen suffering major distortion for a few hours, due to overheating while on ac charge ), but again well within tegra 3 specs (this this is stock clocked at 1.5ghz which is 200mhz higher than my tf300t tablet which has much more room to dissipate heat)
Im in love with the design of the phone, only issue i have is i feel the back button is on the wrong side but i use LMT launcher anyway(if you don't know what it is i suggest you look it up). The stock firmware was fine(no issues) other than feeling bloated, stock jellybean was slightly smoother and a bit lighter, CM10.1 is absolutely amazing and in my opinion increases the value of the phone drastically.
Just my take on it.....

depends what the surrounding temps are and what you are doing. if its going over 80C and youre not doing anything(idling), thats beyond normal. if you are hitting 70C and are playing a cpu intensive game for a bit, thats still normal. if your phone does actually overheat, itll hit the cpu safety temp and turn itself off, to cool down. i believe its 95 or 100C. ive actually hit 100C(trying to get it that hot), and it shut itself down. then i just booted it back up(was around 40C when it booted). depending on the air temp around you, and what you were just doing with the device, idling temps in the mid 40C to 50C are still normal.

im not that experienced. but since 3 days that i was reading all threads around , i figured that werewolf kernel has the top cpu + gpu overclocking. though by default is set at some medium values or you could use the phone to keep u warm in the winter.
---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------
also because im an overclocking maniac and my pc is already 50% overclocked with liquid cpu cooler and more 6 air coolers, keep in mind that u cant overclock any machine more than 20% which is stable. so the max stable overclocking for our optimus cpu is to go to 1700. but thats the MAXIMUM stable. maximum means that it will get high temperature which is bad. but its ok. the optimus has functions that lower the cpu automatically so it cool again. If u connect the phone to charge it and play a game with 1700 cpu frequency it will get to max temperature in some minutes. so u wont be able to get any better perfomance from that. RESULTING: To overclock any machine u need to find a way to keep it cold. if the machine is cold then u can overclock as much u want. the phone doesnt have a way to keep cold, except if u hug an air-condition.
Thankyou verymuch for explaining but is there a possible way to make our phone cooler just like a pc fan cools the pc?

only 2. one is to be always next to an air-condition and the other is underclocking not overclocking. its impossible to overclock a phone to play smoother games and also keep it cool. its not like you can open it and put a fan inside all this overclocking thing is useful only if u wanna have some live wallpaper + many widgets running smoothly.

You can always play inside a refrigerator...

I use wolfs 008b kernel on latest stable cyanogenmod with very good results for gamming.
I even play games underclocked @1200 and all games run smooth.
You can always tweak a lot of settings using trickster mod. I use a combo of weathley / row @1200 all the rest at default settings
Please don't open "best kernel/ROM/mod/...." threads. There is no best kernel, ROM,...
Every kernel/ROM has it's good and bad sides. Decide yourself

There are none currently.
Not sure the device really needs it either. It's very fast as it and would only generate more heat and worse battery on an already hot device.
Tweaking the kernel and rom are much better options (CROMi-X )

I essentially wanted to use SetCPU in order to dramatically underclock the processor during sleep and slightly underclock it while its screen is on (because who needs all this processing power really?). This could possibly stretch out my battery life by another day. Do you think that will be possible to do when I install a different ROM on the tablet? (like yours for example)
Ah ok - download trickster mod and set the min and max freq there. SetCPU is years old and won't work with our device

Nope - it just sets the min and max.
I wonder why it gets hot though. I thought these are SoC's and aren't supposed to get hot. The tf101 didnt get hot at all. But if you overclocked it to 1.6 it started to get warm.
Does anyone know if this happens as regularly on cm11 or another aosp ROM? Also, what's a good max level to clock it at so I don't constantly worry about the heat issue?

What exactly are you worried about? You can't clock it past 1.9GHz anyway which while it might get toasty it won't fry an egg or anything.

CPU temperature is not so important, it will always be that "hot" while being on use. Battery temperature is the thing that should be important to you.
I think these values are ok, as long as your phone does not shutdown unexpectedely (with the aproppriate "Shutting down" mesaage box) - that usualy means that the temperature of both CPU and the battery is way too high and any other operations may result in their permanent damage. If you don't experience such situations then I think you shouldn't be worried about anything
Anyway I have to tell you that IMHO this phone has, in fact, some "problems" with overheating or at least with pretty high temperature than it should be normally. But I don't care, after two years of really heavy usage - it still works and it never disappointed me, I hope you won't be too
Thermal throttling will start at around 65-70C, at 80 the phone will shutdown.
These functions are hard coded in kernel, so dont worry.

Battery temperature hasn't gone beyond 40C if I remember. Only started to monitor recently. I've been using this just over two years too and never felt any heat when using it for normal usage on 4.0 and 4.1 stock roms.
Only felt it on 4.3 and downgrading after trying 4.3 uk rom 2nd time, even 4.1 now produces noticeable heat which is what's bugging me. Really regret for upgrading to 4.3 for a 2nd time :'(
The initial downgrade was done through SEUS as 4.3 wasn't released for UK then and had the blue triangle icon on some bootups but no other issue or heat.
Which rom do you use now on your device?
40C is really low value for the battery. Trust me, you really shouldn't be worried about the temperature
I was using the newest build of OmniROM until yesterday. I flashed the newest release of CM11 and I'm not disappointed.
ok, thanks. I am trying the Omega v2 rom since yesterday, but it seems to make it much warmer so might head back to 4.1
What helped me on my Xperia V is rooting, downloading No-Frills Cpu Controp and changing governor to ondemand (it was interactive by default).

thanks, just installed the app. It seems to be 'ondemand' by default. :/
Just finished setting up 4.1 stock rom, and a little bit of usage heats it up very quickly. With the heat, battery level goes down very quickly too

Well it happens on my Xperia V too no matter what I do, but since I've been using a silicone case I don't notice it anymore and it doesn't burn my fingers like it used to. Maybe try changing governor to interactive...I'm using it now and the phone seems pretty cold

I've been using a TPU gel case since I bought the phone... and never felt any heat (apart from when trying out 4.3 but yet less than present level of heat). So seems it took 2 years for the phone to start this 'heating up' mode. I am trying to understand if it is a software issue or something to do with hardware.

I've read that almost all Sony phones heat up so it's probably a hardware issue...but since rooting and uninstalling all bloatware and disabling some of the google's services, I noticed my phone doesn't really heat up that much anymore.

Even I have rooted and disabled almost all the bloatware including some google apps (actually removed them from the system/app folder itself). This was how it was prior to 4.3 testing and had no issues. Only heated slightly for a YouTube video or so. Removed the same list of items this time around as well, but for even apps like whatsapp it heats..so something is definitely wrong... it remains cool on idle, hence not a background service that causes it.

Then it might be a hardware issue :/
My phone used to overheat on 4.3, but on 4.1 it's pretty cool.

that's exactly how mine was
wondering if there is some clash in the internal memory area.. (which happened when using flashtool to downgrade... from 4.3 this time). Before used SUS as 4.3 wasn't released for UK and it repaired to 4.1
When i play CoC with data mobile the temperature become very high...this can damage any hardware components?
Because i changed the battery two times for random reboots and i think that some components are broken
its WINTER
ITS WInter DUDE NO WORRIIES!!
