My phone is heating too much. - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have c6603(as written in "about phone") / c6602 (as written on the box) running 4.4.4 kitkat (stock) build no. .283, rooted, UB with Zombie Kernel (for fast charging), no other modifications. I have a feeling that my phone is heating too much especially while playing games like Clash Of Clans, CPU temp. rises to above 80 degrees and sometimes close to 90. I know overheating is a common issue in xperia Z. But is above 80 degrees even safe? The phone itself become uncomfortable to handle with a bare hand. I previously owned Galaxy S3, HTC Desire 820 etc. I played CoC on all of them but they never heat this much. Can anyone give me some tips please? I can't even charge while playing. Thank you.

Congratulations, you should be able to cook an egg on your phone.. I can't even imagine how hot it is, as I had previously reached only 72 degrees, and it was freaking hot!
I suggest you to try a different ROM or just to check your kernel and cpu settings in any app, which you can find in google play, for example, trickster's mod (check your governor and etc.,), maybe your processor is clocked at 1.7ghz.?
Personlly, I would change the ROM you're using now to the different one

Q.Q .. I was actually underclocked at 1.3 Ghz, let me search for a good ROM :fingers-crossed: I'm pretty new to this phone, thanks for the suggestion.

Well, if you were using any build until 20, then it may be buggy, but in the newest build (I mean, in the "test" folder) 09-20 works without any problems, futhermore, I haven't noticed any bugs.
Eitherway, if you'll be flashing this build, I suggest you to do a Clean flash.,

Any apps that use to run a bit slow just fly! Notably the new 1.3.1 facebook and layar.

I just listen to the MP3 player for 8.5hrs a day all that speed & power & I do squat with it, but its nice to have a fluid phone with zero lag.
I just enjoy a lag free phone.
I put stuff on my home pages, and scroll left and right a lot.
Anybody know any more pretty widgets I can add?
im getting around 2700, with the new lagfix and overclocking cpu
This question really reminds me of computer overclocking community when we had high-scores of benchmark programs and people asked us what we do with our pc.
I just do email-check, surf, watch video clips while I'm outside, Remote Desktop, SSH, keep sliding my homescreens & app drawer(lol), play games and a lot more of things.
And sure, now I'm happy that I picked the right smartphone from mobile store. Feel like it's getting better and better and I think it's not I9000's limit yet, let's think about Froyo with this kind of fix and there maybe another fix or something that would make us more happy. It's worth every penny thanks to people who made these things happen.
All this even before Froyo 2.2 is out. Simply Amazing.
I'm just having a grand old time flying by screens and giggling like a little girl
WTF i only scored 877
not even a 1000!
The lag fix is great...I can only really get up to 1800, but hey...I'm not about to complain now, am I?

dont get it i get a 3173 on quadrant check, how the hell did i get that high without overclocking?

what build are you using, 10h or earlier, or 20a? with 20a, my phone seems to be warming up more than it did on ICS on medium use, i.e. wireless with videos or web surfing.

if in doubt blame bad /badly configured apps.
so i guess tour previous install had app issues keeping the cpu active and therefore keeping the temp up.
theres no logical reason why the phone would stay cooler otherwise.
well, it cant be lower than the room temperature
i guess the app is just buggy.

in rare cases it can.
say you lay it on a glas table that has a gentle wind going past it this could cool the glass which could cool the phone
my pc cpu on idle is also lower then the room temp.
just barely 1 degree but its lower

I welcome heat when im gaming, it means tegra is working. I never got any overheat during normal use on any rom. I think the protection sucks because the only change I see is games run worse than in 10d where values are less restricted, i would happily see it removed

[Q] Xperia Z and CM 11 - Am missing "Stamina"

Heya,
Im a total phone n00b, but was sick of Sony's bloated updates so did some googling and successfully installed CM11 on my Xperia Z (went from Sony's official 4.3 build)
Im greatly prefering the nightly CM11 builds, they are more stable than Sony's 4.3 update :laugh: Before someone says, I do realise this isnt released as stable software, but Im fine with that, it works really well. Im just looking for ways work around some of the issues :fingers-crossed:
I am having a couple of problems, I would ask in the development forum but dont have the permission to do so, so hopefully someone can help me here.
#1 Im getting Music stuttering/artifacts when playing MP3's. It seems to be a common thing on the Z at the moment.. I did some playing and the only fix I have found is running Android Tuner with the CPU setting at performance, which plays smoothly without any issue. None of the other less power hungry settings seem to be able to play MP3's smoothly.
#2 Battery life sucks. I get about 6 hours of average use now. On the official 4.2 software Id get an easy 10 hours with the same use.
Im guessing my issues are very much one and the same thing. The sony builds come with "Stamina" the app that controls clock speeds etc and greatly increases battery life.
Ive downloaded Android Tuner, and DU Battery saver, in an effort to try and reproduce what Stamina was doing, but I cant find the combination of settings that work.
Does anyone have any ideas on what settings to run? A single app that does what Stamina does? Any other ideas on how to get my phone fast enough to play MP3s, without requiring a diesel generator towed behind it for the hourly recharge would be great
Thanks!
Not to diss cyanogenmod or anything but currently nightlies are a bit iffy, may work well for you but may I suggest for the time being you switch to beanstalk ROM you will get superior battery life, performance and a a lot more features it should also fix audio as I've experienced excellent audio quality with the ROM.

A very got alternative to Stamina is Greenify. It hibernates apps when you don't use them. It is basically the same thing Stamina does. The only thing you won't have is that internet connection won't turn off when you switch off your screen. But with Tasker or Llama you can create a profile to change to 2G when turning off screen and switch back to 3G or even Lte when turning screen on.

Because Xperia Z's CyanogenMod11 default CPU voltage is higher than the Sony official system, only to be saving by reducing the CPU voltage. But CyanogenMod11 kernel does not support CPU voltage drop, third-party kernel "MEOW-kernel.v1.12.17-kitkat" currently does not support the CPU voltage drop. To power saving can only wait "MEOW-kernel" support a voltage drop.
This is my Xperia Z with CM 11.0
Use the Snapdragon Battery Guru app. It's specially designed for Snapdragon processors by Qualcomm. It's does a pretty similar job to what Stamina Mode does.

Cheers people,
Have been running Beanstalk for a few days, its definetly less greedy than the Nightly CM11 and is playing music fine with no tweaking needed. Just installed snapdragon battery guru too.

[Q] Massive performance drop from 4.2.2 .290 to 4.4 .757 - help?

Hey guys,
So... I was running NUT's stock rooted .290 (Android 4.2.2) and used to get Antutu scores around 35K.
Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to .757 -- again, NUT's stock release, just rooted. Upgrade went fine (I've done this before), phone is stable and I am enjoying KitKat, BUT performance is downright terrible. I get 22,000 Antutu now!
At first I thought it was because the phone was hot after the upgrade and throttled back, so I repeated the test again several hours later when it was cool. Yes, that improved things -- to 25,000! Still a drop of 10,000 from what I used to get before. And it's not just the number -- the phone feels slower in use, too. Got a massive drop in Anomaly Benchmark too, so it's not just Antutu.
Again, both times are on NUT's stock rooted builds, no tweaks or weird things done on my part to "improve" the device. Attaching screenshots.
http://imgur.com/a/0Ri2z
Can anyone running KK .757 do an Antutu and tell me what they get? Any idea why this is, and what to do about it?
EDIT: Sorry, title should say "from 4.2.2 .290", not "from 4.3"
The tests with Antuntu or others are just irrelevant and I will not considerate them as a proof of low performance.
Anyway if you feel your phone have problems then you can start execute a Factory Reset which will clean a bit the Rom after upgrade, always recommended.
Then leave the phone for few days to set up. It should be better.

Thanks. Antutu actually does mean something - I wouldn't say it is "irrelevant." But as I said, the phone also actually feels slow. I cleared cache + dalvik and will see how it goes... I really don't feel like doing a factory reset as I have the phone set up just perfect right now.
After clearing cache and dalvik I scored 33,303. So... better.

It's still not that good tbh. Was expecting an improvement.

Anyone?

Wondering if anyone is working on a new rom now the sources have been released.
It does not seem like it. I have been looking a lot around the net. I am considering selling mine.
I already built some ROMs for other phones and tablets but you guys need to understand that this is not something that is done in a day !
With my ******* connection I am not even done with the download of the sources ! Then you need to make some adjustments, sync, gather all the sources and finally build which is a really heavy process and right now since I need my computer to work, I can't let him build and compile.
I'll definitely build some ROM for this device since I want to try new ROMs but I need more time
That sounds encouraging. Even if the performance were increased (less battery drain) on the existing Mokee and CM 12.1 Roms, we would be in a better place. I am currently on Mokee 14/03 and the battery drain makes it very difficult to use out and about.

Hi ectoplasma22, I hope you could build a nice rom for this phone, because the smartphone deserves it! Can you say me if you have found some bugs on the Mokee one? Is all working on it? I'm now on miui europe stable and the rom is good but I see some limitation of the Miui rom wich are a little annoying like errors converting user app in system app system and many, but however I found how to switch the 2k dispay resolution to 1080 and the battery life increased +30%, also if I'm getting error writing screenshots on sdcard and some apps see only a small area to work, and the cursor for those apps is blocked in a small space, like the app Nice Eyes which can't be placed on the eyes. Do you know a secure way to change resolution without get anu bugs?

Lots of comments in the Mokee thread here on battery drain. http://en.miui.com/thread-228046-1-1.html
Great that it's working for you, but mine is way worse than miui for drain. Seems to be related to min cpu frequency being high during idle.
I also notice that the cm 12.1 thread has a known issue on needing to have two sims inserted and using the second for lte if you want to use lte. http://en.miui.com/thread-234339-1-1.html. I'm not sure if this impacts Mokee too or if related to battery drain (I have one sim only in sim 2). But my drain is a lot better when aeroplane mode is on.
Android 6 coming from nian, only sound is bugged..

I'm glad I asked now, things seem to happening slowly, Mokee is ok battery no great but passable, I needed to enter APN manually as some of the fields were missing causing crazy issues.
