Big chip is doing nothing !! - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
recently I discovered brilliant app ( IntelĀ® Performance Viewer ) which can monitor cpu core usage and freqs in real-time. As I was always concerned about my Z4's underperforming 810 chip, I decided to test cpu in different apps. So heres one - M&B WARBAND which is emulated and requires a lot of horse power. I also spawned around 200 troops to harden the task. As you can see I got 5 FPS while Big Chip (A57) is literally sleeping. Naturally, A53 is struggling at getting playable framerate. Same thing happens in Antutu, GeekBench, PPSSPP, and in every power demanding apps( games, emulators and etc).
WTF is wrong with 810 CPU guys? or should I blame Sony for trash governors which can't figure out when they should activate all cores?

Just hope they fix this in marshmallow.

Can anyone test this again in MM? Would be greatly appreciated.

It's functioning much much better. There's another thread that shows benchmarks.

big.Little on this device runs HMP
The most powerful use model of big.LITTLE architecture is heterogeneous multi-processing (HMP), which enables the use of all physical cores at the same time. Threads with high priority or computational intensity can in this case be allocated to the "big" cores while threads with less priority or less computational intensity, such as background tasks, can be performed by the "LITTLE" cores.[10][11] source from Wikipedia.

[GAME] Chip Challenge Remake
Hi everyone, we are pleased to announce our new mobile game Chip Challenge for Android.
Trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=LQbmKZ0R0Tc
Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emsoftworks.chipschallenge
Logical and insights turn-based game that will test your brain and fast fingers
Logical and insights turn-based game inspired by classic Chip's Challenge. In 110 levels you will test your brain and your skills to complete each level in the smallest number of moves as quickly as possible. Levels are stacked by the difficulty from easiest to very tricky, which are a real challenge.
The task is to collect all the chips in the shortest time and minimize the number of moves to deliver chips to the processor (CPU). Your way will complicate obstacles, locked doors, moats, but also enemies and dangerous turrets. Each level is unique and your best results are recorded and compared with the results of other players when you are online. Every level shows the current top players both in terms of time and in terms of the shortest path to overcoming levels.
Levels 0-50 are completely free. Levels 51-110 are premium and are divided into two packages. After buying the premium package levels, these levels are playable offline and you don't have to be connected to the Internet.
Thank you

[Q] Is This Temperature Normal?

I just wanna ask if this is normal?
When I hold the screen for a while it can burn out my fingers.
Its freaky hot.
The temperature is 59 degrees celsius.

Nope, its too high. Normal should be 32-36 and some times the temp may go a little high during charging. But never this high.
The obvious reason is ur Overclocking. Some phones are not built for it. STOP Ocing to 1.6. Try a reasonable 1.3 or the best 1.2GHz
You're gonna burn your battery and your phone into the ground if you don't scale that back.
It is usually best to try and keep your phone under 40c whevever possible, and never above 45c for too long.
Can the phone still run - yes
Is it wise for long periods of time - absolutely not!...

Or simply use the 1GHz standard CPU frequency for which the device was designed.
Overclocking without really knowing what problems this may cause....
Thank You guys.
I will try to keep the temperature in normal levels.
Thanks for the support.

Problem with overclock to 2GHz

I have a problem that is >
when I overclock my incredible s to 2ghz it will hang and it will reboot or in some times I had remove battery .
I test it with all the roms and kernals that support 2ghz and not only 2ghz
also 1920 ghz will become hang too
does anybody have the same problem?
what can I do for it ?
I have a suggestion, if it hangs and rebooted at 2ghz... don't overclock that high.
Maximum recommended overclock is 1.5ghz
I know that but I wanna know that it is my phone problem or not?
Because if the others have the same problem the devs didn't set 2ghz to their kernal

no, it's not only your phone problem, but I higly recommend you to stop killing it, 1.5GHz would be enough at this moment.
It is possible to oc that high however stability is low. I believe the only rom that let me do it was discontinued a while ago it was developed by newtoroot and I could effectively clock to 2.1 using tiamat 1.12. It was quite unnecessary as higher benchmarks were achieved with lower settings.

Processors aren't exactly the same. Some can reach 2ghz, some can't. However, there is no obvious reason to do so. Yours is perfectly fine, just keep it under 1.5 ghz
thank you guys for your suggestion and helping .
you are killing your Incs... 2GHz!!!
1.5GHz would be enough for your using and running all the app.

Nexus 7 OC

does anyone know how much more the OC ads to performance on the nexus 7? I OC'd my hp touchpad but over time it turns out that i fried the processor and it was much slower after the processor got fried. Does OC'ing at 1.5 ghz help the performance a lot of not really?
I noticed an improvement in some games like batman and spiderman 1.6ghz

i'm using the motley build 109 for the gpu setting of 520.
gaming on my N7 a little while ago i had my setcpu at 1.5ghz. When i look at setcpu info tab "time in state" the cpu always reverts back to 1.3ghz while gaming. as i understand it the N7 has cpu protection from overheating even motley states this fact. so it doesn't matter where one has the cpu set because once the N7 warms up your dropped like a rock into 1.3ghz.
the only real positive to these kernels concerning gaming is the GPU overclocking. the 109 motley build with gpu oc 520 i was able to achieve a 62.4 on nenamark 2. cpu oc does make the system run faster as long as the cpu stays under temp.
is it worth it to flash the 109 build??? yes. but only for the GPU oc. graphic intensive games like spiderman, nova 3, dead trigger & modern combat 3 run smoother with the extra gpu juice. if your not playing the fancy & newest games your most likely not taxing the N7 enough to see a difference.
cheers

Are only 4 cores working?

Ok so i did some benchmark tests and a few hours run time and i found that I am only getting 1.5 ghz. Nowere do i see 2.1 ghz. Maybe my other 4 cores are not even kicking in. I am going to install faux clock or something to keep an eye on this. Please ley me know any finding you guys might have.
Ok I confirmed the 8 cores are working with trickstermod however they will not go past 1.5ghz. Not happy about this. Might have to return it. Any thoughts.

I'm guessing no one has proper support to read this new hardware properly
That's strange. My first 32 gb s6 showed the 2.1 step being used. My new 64 GB does not in 124 hours of continuous use

The exynos octa core has been around for years since the galaxy s4. If it is a suport issue, you would think all the apps would catch on in 2 years.
Mine is confirmed to read 1.5 also. Even though my AnTuTu score was 65k

I have the same problem on my rooted s6 edge. Very odd
