Guys i just want to ask if what is the maximum temperature that wont harm our Galaxy S?...
my phone before Galaxy S was LG Optimus One and when i play games or downloading using 3G.. i only get around 37-39 degree Celsius.. because 40 degree Celsius can harm Optimus One phone,.. but when i bought this SGS, i found out that my phone's temperature rises up to 55 degree Celsius and i was like OMG!! my phone will explode in a minute now !!!
by the way, im using Elixir statusbar widget to see the battery temperature..

OFC it gets a bit hotter when playing games which stress CPU and GPU since there is no fan built into this phone due to aesthetic reasons
Usually this isn't a problem, don't worry.
Im using both galaxy s and galaxy s2. both of them are heating when i play games or use data 3g. It seems normal as far as I know.

Whoa then I shouldn't have to worry now =)) thanks for replying... I am not really use to it yet... I've been using Optimus One and 40° Celsius is not a good temperature for it... That's why I worried xD

I noticed on my phone that it is set at the medium resolution settings instead of the highest one. I read in the preliminary reveiws that going to the highest will burn more battery and make things smaller. I am a 50 year old man that should use glasses but doesnt. Now that people have had the phone for a while what settings are people using for their resolutions and does it make the text smaller. I dont seem to notice but i cant check anymore as i returned it for a verizon model and will be waiting. It is a question i could never find a answer and this is the last place i could figure to look.
The highest resolution does not change the text size. If you look very, very carefully, you may notice a slight difference in sharpness compared to medium resolution, but it is, in my opinion, negligible. Take also into account that med res is also more battery friendly and you may reach the same conclusion as I, that med res is the way to go.

I keep mine at FHD+ (2220x1080), simply for the battery trade off. WQHD+ (2690x1440) uses a lot more power and not a lot of content is native in that resolution, and it does make things smaller. The only instance I could imagine there being a significant advantage of the latter resolution would be when one was using the Gear VR. When a display is that close to your eyes and viewed through the lenses of the headset, you'd want a higher resolution to avoid being able to see individual pixels.
As a near 50 year old man myself I recommend setting it to the medium setting, keeps battery happy and the old 4 eyes.
The battery difference in the middle and Max is minut. Here is mine at Max all day brightness at 80.
So put it on the Max if you want don't worry about the battery. Like I said I tested both resolutions and its not that big of a difference at all. We buy these phones for there great display use it.

Thank you for that - I may switch as well, the difference really seems negligible.

Yes this!!! I just got 24 hours on full res with 25% battery left, so no big hit on battery. Makes it look crisper and sharper when I have my cheaters on .

I tested out the highest setting when I first got it but found it to be negligible in difference. Based on that and the fact that I knew it would just burn down the battery, I switched back to medium.

I got over 6 1/2 hours of SOT yesterday with it on Max.
don't see the point in max setting for general use. Its only of use for VR. Should auto detect VR and whack it up too but it doesn't.

Good question. Battery life on my Note8 is very good. Today, with a SoT of 4h, 45 min of which was Waze, the phone was at 49%.
But - I don't use push notifications, no Whatsapp and I am vrey careful about which apps can send notifications at all.
BTW - screen on Auto, resolution at medium.
If you are doing all that, I would consider a factory reset...

So you don't see the point for having better resolution on your screen? If that's the case just get a 720p phone.

I got close to 7.5 on medium. It's just not necessary for what I do. If I'm going to use VR then I'll switch to it, but I don't so there's no need for me.

Nice
The 90 Hz refresh rate seems to be taking a toll on the batterylife of OnePlus 7 Pro even when equipped with a 4000 mAh battery.
As MKBHD reviews , 4 and half hr of SOT is definitely not great. (Skip to 06:37)
Just wait for more reviews.
the review of the verge stated completely the opposite. Battery life depends so much on the use.. Keep wifi on with mobile data, gps and everything and it drops way faster. Keep a bit of attention what to keep on, lower the brightness just 10% and you get easiliy a screen on time more.

How to well setup the phone to get good batterylife I'm well aware. , it's just that no one should be compelled to turn this phone into a dumbphone to get good batterylife as the refresh rate is not downgradable.
Let's hope more and more reviewers/users do not get similar results like Marques. :good:
*edit: Refresh rate is downgradable to 60Hz.

You can turn to 60 hz in the settings and also 1080p. So you can get better battery when needes.
Look at other reviews.. 7-8 hours SOT.. MKBHD always gets low SOT.. he uses max screen brightness, 10000 notifications a day...

My bad, I heard CAN as CAN'T :silly: in that video at 07.20, thanks for the correction. But then downgrading to 60Hz should not be considered as "the solution" as 90Hz is what separates the screen from others.

True that MKBHD always gets low due to his "usage".
We also see that, he gets more batterylife in phones like S10+, way more in P30 Pro etc..so OP7 Pro's endurance would mostly fall below those chart toppers - should suffice most users.

It is a solution though. It's eating the battery more so if you want better Battey life you have to downgrade.

That's a "workaround" at the cost of sacrificing the USP of the product itself- OnePlus has been so hyping and bragging about.
So you buy a 90hz phone but use it at 60hz to save battery haha. I remembered the old days when ppl buy a car they want a $2000 ac option but rarely use it because the car wont last long
In one review it was said that Oneplus is currently working on an adaptive refresh rate (and probably also resolution), which would lower it automatically when unnecessary: For example, if you watch a youtube video thats 20min long you don't need the 90Hz as you'll barely touch the screen and there is no 90Hz content. That would be the ideal solution.
It might, but I am sure the optimization of the OXYGEN system will handle that perfectly!

1. It's the "possibility" of a "Dynamic Refresh Rate" OnePlus is working on to push via software update and only FUTURE will tell.
2. "Dynamic Resolution" is the other measure in which, having the screen resolution at full resolution most of the time, it automatically scales down the resolution to 1080p while playing 1080p content.
*(Both points described on the OP, at 07:45).

Whoops, didn't see that youtube link in the OP
"OnePlus 7 Pro vs Samsung S10 Plus / iPhone XS Max / P30 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9 Battery Life DRAIN TEST" :
Just give the phone a few weeks after some updates im sure op7 pro will be better in terms of battery! the phone just released yesterday guys..calm down
No matter what phone I purchased since the good ole days, "5 years ago" when batteries were replaceable I have never been happy with battery life. Why does everybody who builds devices have to make batteries as thin as possible ? An extra 2 to 3 mm if they can give me an extra few hours before looking for a charge is better that a super slim device. Now even they worst case was true 4 hours screen on time, I rarely use my phone four hours a day, the battery life should be fine.

Adaptive battery somewhat works in my Galaxy S10 Plus I believe.
When it comes to OP, only time will tell about that "Dynamic refresh rate" ...these terms though ? reminded me of "Intelligent Pixel Technology" with the OP5T's secondary camera and it was anything but what it was meant for.
...Let's see. ?
I'm averaging about 6 hours SOT but I haven't done anything too intensive. I'll have to wait and see on battery but I haven't been disappointed at all.
Wonder if this is possible
Yes

how??
...and why?
There is most likely a way to do it once rooted and it is just like overclocking everything else every phone is different. So you may be able to get 90 hz and someone can't push past 75 hz. If you find a way on another phone to over clock it, it will most likely work with the s10
Someone needs to look into this. It is possible on the Xiaomi phones that also use Samsung AMOLED.

Can somebody test throtting and temperatures in GFXBench (battery test - Manhattan 3.1)?
Would like to know too. From what i've seen in video reviews, people say this phone gets hot.
Would be curious if someone could run the throttling test for 30 minutes
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=skynet.cputhrottlingtest&hl=en_CA
Agreed! I've seen YouTube vids that the Red Magic 3 doesn't really ever throttle at all no matter how long you run it or how hard you push it. Curious if the RG2 holds up to the same?
I had a red magic 3 12gb 256gb model.. and I found it cheap and poor quality speakers vibrate and not at same level as ROG 1. I would avoid in my opinion. You can order cooler from giztop for the 128gb model
I have not tested, but so far in everyday use I've only felt the phone get hot if I am BOTH playing a game and charging the phone back up at the same time. If the phone is at 100% when I'm playing a game, or if I charge the phone without playing a game, the phone doesn't feel warm.
Be careful if you leave it on your bed not to cover it with blanket/pillow while charging. It probably has thermal safeties, but even the pros like Apple and Samsung have exploding batteries these days, so better to play it safe.
my RoG Phone 2 throttled (Frame Drop) at 47 Degree C temperature playing PUBG for 1 game with HDR+Shadow On+Anti Aliasing On graphic setting.
Man, is there any custom kernel setting to removed this throttling :/

Did you already set a game profile for PUBG in the xmode app? You can increase the thermal limit before throttling kicks in by doing so.

I'm pretty sure it's the same on the CN ROM. Just open the Armory Crate app, select your PUBG game and click Game Profiles then scroll down on the right side and there is a section called Temperature Control. Change that from Default to High.

Hmm..it seems i dont have such options to control my temperature at my game profiles..u may refer to the pictures that i attached.
From my experience so far there has been no thermal throttling during the Manhattan test however while playing Vainglory at 120hz for ~2 hours I noticed a bit of temperature hike with no fan at 45°c.. but seems to stay around 118 fps. The fan added dropped me down to about 41°c and 120 fps stayed fairly constant. The "heat" of this phone is mostly due to the fact that the vent on the back pushes the hot air outside the phone so if your hand is near it.... It gets hot. But overall the phone is never unbearable and the face that it is hot outside the phone shows the heatsink/cooler is doing it's job by pushing the hot air out instead of keeping it internally.

There is no setting that removes throttling, since this is hardware related not software related.

That is because you got tencent version and that one does not have same features as the global/elite edition has got.
Of course it is going to get a little hot with all that POWER!!

That is because you got global ROM now. But again temperature setting won't completely remove throttling, it can throttle again anytime.
Cooling is needed to lower temps properly.
