Very strong heating issue - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

Hello. So I'm currently at MIUIPro 9.1.1.0 and my phone version is 2\16 china. First of all, it heats too much on mobile net. Outside when it's around 25 degrees celsius battery goes up to 40-41 even though I'm just browsing. In games it heats to a temperature when I can boil water. Around 1 hour ago I was playing PUBG on low, air temp was around 25 and battery gone up to 47 (!!!) degrees, and the cpu (tsens_tz_sensor 0-10) was 70-75 degrees! I am just afraid of my phone blowing up in my hands. Is this a bad firmware or a hardware defect?

Flash a custom ROM. It is not a hardware issue. MIUI is the problem. It also heats like hell when charging, right? I am using Lineage OS for months and temp hardly rises above 25-30. even when gaming for 2-3hrs.

Considering your given information it doesn't seems to be hardware issue to me.
Things cause heating while when using mobile data are Buggy software or low network.
You are using MIUI Pro which is based on MIUI China ROM, check if there's any MIUI Pro update available if so then try updating it.
Temperature around 40° Celsius is pretty normal when you are playing PUBG Mobile with Mobile data.
You'll also see quick battery drain than usual and may will see little lag.
Try using Xiaomi Eu ROM if you don't like original MIUI or you may try either of any custom ROM,MIUI China or global stable/beta ROM to check if you face same issue.

"Custom ROM" is another MIUI modded rom (MIUIPro, xiaomi.eu) or aosp, lineage etc.? And It's heating to around 38 when charging and browsing

Buggy/laggy in-game sounds on oreo roms

Is there any way to fix the buggy/laggy sounds inside games? Are there workarounds or roms not affected by that problem?
Which game you are playing? Currently I just now switched to DOT OS 2.5 Oreo 8.1.
If you wish I can try particular game that you are having issue with because I did not have in game sound issue except for pubg mobile.
If you are having issue with pubg mobile then you are not alone it happens with me too.
I think It's a bug from their end and I hope they fix it soon in future update if it so.
Sometime the I can't even able to hear sound unless and until I restart the game.

Is it true that DOT OS has great battery back up? I've been wanting to use Dot OS, but i really haven't tried it because i've been spoiled to the customization that Havoc OS has.

DOT OS has good battery backup i get around 8 hours of SOT on my Redmi 4X.
on Mobile data( 4G ) it down to 4 or 5 hours of SOT which is quite normal.
while playing PUBG mobile device with WIFI do get warm but does not lags(or at least i have not yet experienced) with mobile data heat increases.
i don't know but i haven't got any rom that doesn't heat or give at least moderate warm except for MIUI 9 and 10 Global beta builds which i no longer use.
DOT OS has good customizations but HAVOC OS has taken that to next level. there are some features you'll find in HAVOC OS but not in DOT OS.
nevertheless both are great ROMs out there for Redmi 4X i've chosen DOT OS for one important reason that while on DOT OS my Redmi 4X heat up so much than regular, i did like the HAVOC OS and want to use it but both OREO and PIE builds giving same issue which keeping me away from it.

Ahh, the heating issue while charging device.
The device gets heat up even battery area too which is concerning for me.
I haven't rooted with DOT OS 2.5 currently because there's no need of root for now for me.
It should have work on DOT OS 2.5. Maybe try downloading latest stable or beta build again and flash again.

Heat fix or anything for redmi 4x?

I live in hot city in india. I have been experiencing alot of heat lately in back where CPU is located. It's always 40c battery as well as CPU both stays on 40c. Please let me know if there is some tweak to reduce heat. I dont do much gaming. I use it for chatting and watching videos mostly surfing YT or surfing internet. it makes me paranoid whenever it gets heat up i m always forced to keep it aside till it gets cool down. I am requesting to any developers here to make a tweak or make a kernel for users like me as it will be soo helpful for many people who dont like to feel heat while surfing on net. Please do look into it.
Also do tell me if there is a good rom. I dont care about latest android version or latest security patch all i want is i should be able to chat or surf without feeling that heat in my hand because it just ruins everything for me.
I am using official LOS 15.1 and am satisfied with it from a heat perspective.
The only time I maybe encounter unusual heating is when the NSA is hacking my phone to spy on me. *joke* What I then usually do is just to shut down my phone and leave it off for a couple of minutes.
You should look to update your firmware to the latest available Global version.
It is otherwise a good idea to reinstall your phone. You never know if you picked up some malware through dodgy apps that is causing the problem or if some apps are just rubbish.
I Use Xiaomi EU
No issues of heating except if you Play games.

Use kernel adiutor to tweak settings. Or use a custom thermal mod
Hey. Peeps! Thanks for kind response. I read all your suggestions! I m using Lineage OS latest official build. I dont do gaming its battery efficient also it has quick charge support, on ampere app readings says 1800ma. I m thinking of using MIUI now, i have used EU rom and trust me Lineage OS is better in terms of battery backup. Crdroid, umm, thanks @mcjohn, i will try this.

Read my last post ?
I do not recommend CrDroid.
It's an unstable ROM.
Wait for an update.
Yesterday I installed "COSP".
I do not know how behave !?

I actually tried it.. Not bad , not good. Lineage OS is the best currently. I m thinking of trying out pixel experience rom, i have seen people claiming it has good battery backup.
Btw, dont ever use miui official rom. It sucks the battery so quickly. -_- I m currently on stable miui global rom and trust me it has worst battery backup.

I installed several ROMs.
Everywhere, I posted my opinion on settings or battery!
"Somebody" criticized me because I was too subjective !
Try some software, then stop at the one you like.

I used the MIUI ROM when I bought the phone until I unlocked the boot charger. . . Then I install another ROM every month.
Or, maybe 2-3 ROMs per week !
Look at my pictures and see how the battery is consumed, how the phone heats up, or the settings that are missing from the menu.

Device heating up pretty fast

I got my k20 pro today finally and i can feel that my device gets warm pretty warm and that too pretty fast even in normal usage scenario, The top Portion only feels really warm not the lower side even screen feels warm.
Is it common for all k20 pro's or i just might return it to flipkart.
I felt that on miui 12,10 as well as 11 on which i am currently.Also weirdly the temps keeps dropping as i keep using it but for a sudden it becomes quite warm.
So is it a kernel issue then i will change the kernel and then see if it is.
gets warm for first 3 days after a update then settles to a heavenly smotheness then afterwards
MIUI optimizations going on in background
i have been using this since jan
am on miui eu beta so update every week first couple of hours and then it settles specially after a big update
i remember it being warm for 3 days when i got it new in jan then when upgraded to miui 12 or any major updates or even after complete factory wipe

Question Xiaomi Mi11 Heats up

Hi Team anyone else also facing Heat issues with Mi11 even with simple tasks?
Auto brightness is On.
[email protected]
Disabled 5G (heats up too much with it)
Bluetooth is On but even off it's Heats up..
GPS Off.
Welcome to the Snapdragon 888 family lol
Blame Samsung. TSMC should be the one working on SD888.
Mine has no issues when using normally. I use mine only for mail, telegram, light games, web browsing and YouTube.
No heats for me, everything full or on.

For sure if you don't play games like Unreal games... Try to play 20/30mn on a Unreal Games, Phone is Hot quickly, and if you play under the sun, Phone has heat issues (it's the summer in France, temperatures are at ~30°+)
The Snapdragon is knowed for have Heat issue, you can't do a complete Benchmark like Antutu without Heat Issue / Throttle.
You have the TRUTH

Hmmmm, the pointless and sarcastic answer. It's a forum, not a fight. Explain your experiences, your feedback, instead of answer that just because someone don't agree with you.
I'm just explaining that the Snapdragon is known to heat up, especially in games & benchmarks.
If yours doesn't heat up, either you don't have a Snapdragon 888 or you don't play with it. nothing else.
TSMC bailed Qualcomm out of a jam earlier this year when the Snapdragon 888 produced by Samsung caused overheating issues
Xiaomi users are facing issue of burnt motherboards on the Mi 11
I think everybody knows that mi11 is really hot phone . Lol
My phone only heats while charging.
If u only do stress benchmarks and hard playing (20-30 minutes with top games) it's normal that any phone heats.
I used to have this issue with the China rom as I have the Chinese version of the phone... Once I switched over to the Xiaomi.Eu rom it all went away and everything is smooth sailing .. I'm currently on the 12.5.9 rom

Question Temperature

Hai,
Recently bought the Mi 11 ultra chinese version.
Now installed eu stable latest rom.
Everything was fine for like 5-6 days.
Then it started to get heated without any reasons. Sometimes it will be fine, sometime for the basic browsing & YouTube watching, cos heats up to 50-52 degree. Just the browsing also feels the heat.
Tried flashing the rom from the scratch again, tried the underclock module from xda, still the same. Normal cpu heat itself is 43 - 45 degree sometimes.
And in 8k video & pubg gaming sessions cause the cpu to reach 55+ degree.
Is it normal? During no hard use also feeling warm is normal in Mi 11 ultra?
Should I try for a service or replacement?

You made yourself a problem. The Chinese and European versions have different support for the radio bands, which may be related to the difference in hardware.

Nop. EU rom is completely based on the Chinese roms.
EU stable version is chinese stable modified. & eu weekly is chinese weekly rom.
Just more optimized, bloatware & Spyware free roms.

Just a suggestion, since it would seem that your issue started only recently after the rom update.
I was on 13.0.12 CN , then changed to 13.0.2.0 global . The phone seems to be running cooler , and doesn't get warm at all when on idle.

Sorry, I think I didn't explained it properly.
I bought the phone and same day flashed the EU rom. And it was working all fine in eu rom for like 5-6 days. Then the issue started. Now it's 15 days of using this device.
This is a Chinese version phone and was on global rom when I bought, so was already bootloader unlocked. I simply formated everything & flashed eu stable.
By the way.
Can you help me with the temperature you are seeing.
On normal use, did u ever faced warm screen & back?
What temperatures you are seeing in normal use & moderate use.
Ever faced phone heating in standby mode?
