[Q] Z1 overheating, should i get a replacement?

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.

Overheating question: is that normal?

Hello!
I'm using Z3+ with latest firmware on it (downloaded it with wi-fi). I've mentioned terrible thing, as i suppose. When I browse internet, and watch youtube while charging the phone, the average processor temperature is 55-60, but it sometimes rises to 76 and than drops down.
Tell me please, is that normal temperature for the phone processor? Won't it harm the processor or another phone components?
Thanks!

The heat is wasted energy, most CPU are inefficient and generate heat.
I have a Z2 and a Z3+ (and previously iPhones for 5 years) - the Zs are definitely "hot" compared to the iPhones but the melting point of silicon and solder is quite high (maybe 150C or more).
Remember the days when laptops were too hot to put on your lap? Those machines still work fine today.
So I don't think the device will be harmed from internal heat (aside from more quickly revealing dry joints perhaps) but it may feel warm in your hand compared to other phones. The way I hold mine, I barely notice, all the heat is in an area above my hand. I only notice if the phone was working hard and then I put it straight in my pocket.
FWIW both the Z2 and Z3+ shutdown the camera app after about 30 minutes continuous 1080P recording, however using alternate apps (Better Camera, Google Camera) I have been able to record 1080P for an hour before I got bored and stopped it.
My Z2 records 4K for about 5 minutes, my Z3+ records 4K for about 15 minutes.
It's only the native camera app shuts down to cool off, I guess the image processing works the SoC harder than alternate apps/api.
tl;dr - yes I think it's normal and things won't hurt the silicon and solder until 150 celsius or more - the phone would become unstable first anyway as the CPU mis-computes due to heat.

I think it doesen't matter because it may be occur but if it dont hamper your device then no need to worry about this .Some device like
modem ,laptop and other smart device become heat for a long time use .Thats why dont worry .

Gaming Frame Rate Drop (Asphalt 8)

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.

xperia z gaming making heavy lag each 5 minutes for about 1 minute

hello. i have a xperia z. in all games with medium graphic details, in first of game all things are right but after some minutes my phone goes to unbelivable lag and after aew mintes every things gets right again. my phone is too hot while playing about 68 degree celcius. can you please tell me how to fix lagging problem?
i have installed root booster and air frozen for better performance but no difference at all. im using 3g mobile data while playing. my phone is lte but drains more battery and gets warmer if i choose lte.

I Use Lspeed in LOS 15.1 with kernel auditor for change the gpu frecuences and when im play i use a fancooler for hot problem
I play Free Fire very smooth

i play mkx on 60 fps + pes 19 38fps pubg 28fps dead trigger 2 60fps and never lag

I have same problem, but not when Gaming my z1 lag for some second and they smooth again. after some minutes my device stuck again and i try some setting cpu in kernel auditor and my phone back normal again

Question S21 Ultra (SM-G998B/DS) freezes for 2-3 seconds while playing games

My S21 Ultra (SM-G998B/DS) freezes for 2-3 seconds every 5-10 mins while playing games (e.g Grim Soul, Last Day on Earth etc). I've disabled auto manage performance on Game Booster, set the phone to 1080P/60FPS but the issue persists. CPU temperature while playing games does not exceed 39 degrees Celsius and battery temperature 35 degrees Celsius. I am on the latest April 1st security patch, however this issue has persisted since I bought the phone 1,5 month ago.
Any suggestions?

Maybe you have some app that kicks in at some point while playing?
Are you only on stock or custom rom?

i got the same problem... (sm-g988B/ds)
on stock and custom rom its the same...
don't know why too

I don't know if we have the same problem. But the wild rift is the only game that has this issue for me. It will randomly freeze for 1 second.

Have you tried enabling enhanced processing from the battery settings? It does say that it wont affect gaming performance but try it anyway. And also, is your battery saver on?
It is a strange issue. I don't really play games on the phone so I can't say if i have the same thing.

I get 3 sec freeze when watching a YouTube video. It will freeze before video but keep playing audio

Yes tried enabling enhanced processing but it had no visible effect. No battery saver is off.
