Hello all!
When I use my Z3C and doing nothing, I mean... just having the phone in my hand, slide between homescreen pages juste for... you know... when you have this sexy lady in your hand... just for looking
But even if I do almost nothing with it, I feel the back hot and my battery apps tell me that the battery is more than 40 degrees. Just for better results I downloaded the app "CPU temp" or "CPU-Z" and it tells me that the CPU is at 45 degrees.
And when I play games the back is more hot!
I just want to know if it's normal? If your Z3C is hot too. I know if I play it's hot but if 40 degrees just for using it with normal apps (Twitter etc...) it's normal?
Can you make some quick test, download CPU-Z and check the "thermal" tab for example or what you want?
For more simplicity in the thread, if you want and if you can, download the app CPU-Z and post the result of "thermal" tab here (just the first line temp), thanks!
And I even see videos of AnTuTu benchmarks on YouTube and the Z3C is at 47xxx... but my Z3C is always between 43xxx - 44xxx ... I don't know if it's the same problem. What scores have you in AnTuTu?
thank you all!
(My phone is STOCK and completly clean, just hard reset before test temp)
my phone is always on 50+ celsius but i think it's normal. it happen on LG G3 too
After about 15 minutes of gaming, my sensor says 40.0 c., but I also have my CPU downclocked by a lot to extend battery life by huge margins. Stock setting puts the CPU frequency at 2.5ghz, and I have mine downclocked to 1.0ghz since I didn't see direct impact on performance with the games I'm playing (mostly emulators or GPU-dependent games).
tsens_tz_sensor0 is the highest at 40.0 c
msm_therm is the lowest at 32.0 c
At stock settings though, my phone runs at 50.0c on average, and it heats up about as much as my Galaxy Note 3 when they're playing the same games. For awhile, I thought the Z3c just heated up more than other phones, but after playing with both phones at relatively the same time, I realize that's pretty much just in my head.
Oh, forgot to mention. Also running on stock 5.1.1 that's rooted, debloated, xposed with greenify and amplify, and a custom Luxx profile to manage adaptive brightness.
Why is performance throttling so aggressive with the P9? I live in a tropical country where the weather is very hot right now and my P9 can't seem to take the heat. After a few minutes of using GPU intensive apps like the PS1 emulator ePSXe, the currently loaded game (FFIX) lags terribly and switching apps considerably slows down. I've also noticed this throttling starts to take effect whenever my phone gets below 50%. This also happens on other games like SimCity where panning the map is horrendously slow, gets smooth after a few minutes but then lags afterwards.
Is there some way to at least tone down the throttling, or are we stuck with this? My previous phone was a G4 but it did not lagged nor throttled aggressively like the P9.
...or is there a custom ROM for the P9 yet? Cyanogen? Lineage? Or is there a way to 'downgrade' to Marshmallow? I think performance was a bit better before upgrading to 7.0
Thanks!
I'm on the B381 Nougat build, EVA-L19 model.
There was a thread here that explained that there was a thermal limit set around 50 degrees celsius and could be altered to have a higher thermal limit. You will have to search for it.
I can't be the only but has anybody noticed the phone overheating quickly with moderate gaming or even an antutu benchmark. This is without X mode. When I do the same with my K20 Pro, it doesn't overheat like the Rog Phone 2.
How are you defining overheating? The device throttling? Do you receive overheat warnings?
Just because a phone gets hot doesn't mean it's performing worse. If anything it could mean it has better heat dissipation due to better contact between cooling and cpu. I play dual screen 2 games at once for 3 hours straight and the cpu remained cool around 40C. I kept my cpu speed down because it was overkill anyway

Can feel the heat near the upper left of the back of the phone. Temps were in 40s.
40s is not overheating at all. ROG phone has higher surface temperature than some phones but it's because it's barely throttling even after 1 hour of gaming. No need to worry

Exactly, it's not overheating, it's doing its job. It's moving that heat away from the internal components and to the outside of the phone via the vapor chamber, external vent, and aluminum side body section near the vent. Throw a slim case on the phone if you don't like feeling it warm in your hands, or tweak the game mode profiles to underclock the CPU and GPU and/or lower the thermal limit during games that make it heat up too much in your hand.

Agreed. It makes perfect sense that the t6ip left is getting warm, that's where the vent is
Rog phone 2 tencent edition overheating and shutting down
My Phone overheats and shuts down when under heavy load, or while charging while im sleaping. it first happened while playing pubg mobile and streaming my game to youtube. I can feel it gets very hot and after a while it just switches off. i also tried the antutu stress test and when it reaches 5% it switches off, i opened the armory crate to check the temps while antutu was doing the stress test and saw that my cpu reaches 73°c and then again it switches off. this is with xmode off.

That's definitely abnormal. You should try to get a replacement or warranty repair.

any updates. i’m having the same issue.
Same here. When I play games like ML or any games my phone overheating fast then my screen will turn off ..and another issue when I charge my phone while overheat my phone will shutdown
does anyone knows how to fix this?:crying::
I'm having the same issue. Charging overnight - it gets really hot, and sometimes it'll randomly reset. Not gaming or running much in the background. It happened since the last update prior to the most recent
Keep in mind that Rog phone 2 has a SnapDragon 855+ and + means it's overclocked. While other normal phones out there runs on default speed settings. So that's probably why Rog phone 2 can get hot quickly due to it's overclocking.
Mine gets very hot along the edges. In fact it gets so hot along the edges that it burns my fingers. CPU temp doesn't ever go much above 45 but the sides become untouchable... Is this a feature designed to stop you playing and thus save the phone from melting in your hands? ??

I had this problem on Android 10, but the problem was reduced when downgrading back to Android 9.

Yep android is a dealbreaker. Extreme overheating cause of the software.
After long time and intensive research, I found the real problem which is cpu/gpu refusing to throttle while on load. Usually the system reduces the clock speed of the cpu to keep the temperature between acceptable working range (room temperature - max of 60°c)
If cpu doesn't throttle, the cpu temperature rises until it reaches the max (i.e 65°C which is critical temperature as per A10s updated thermal framework) and shuts down the device.
I found a workaround which involves reducing manually the clock speed as the temperature increases.
But it requires tasker app(paid) and root to work.
I've been slacking a bit playing around with other things. It can be hard fully putting the watch thru it's paces inside the BB 14-day return window!
For AOD I will say I was disappointed initially. But I found with lower OPR% (~25% or less) if you crank the brightness above 6 or 7 it's decent. For OPR% in the high 30's and above (lighter & brighter faces, orange/white/silver/etc), I posted a workaround that I'm satisfied with or I'd be returning (otherwise such faces are barely visible in dim mode).
How are people finding the accuracy of GPS, and distance on runs?
What about heart rate accuracy when walking/jogging/lifting or other exercise? I tested vs. a BPM cuff and finger PulseOx, and it seems very accurate when sitting still.
What about BPM accuracy? Do you have to have your arm elevated the same as your heart (as you do with a BPM cuff measurement)? What kind of variability are you seeing vs. a cuff reading?
What about the SPo2 accuracy? How is it when sleeping? I forget the reason, but some fingertip monitors have fits of inaccuracy when sleeping because of signal strength drops.
Any issues with music storage and bluetooth playback?
So I've been hearing that people are experiencing unexpected shutdowns to their ROG Phone 2. It happens to me when I'm gaming or doing something intensive like benchmarking. Weird thing is that I have the Tencent edition (8GB, 128GB), and it worked absolutely fine for the first year on Android 9 and 10. However around this start of this year, it unexpectedly shuts down on its own after gaming for the first 5 minutes. I thought it was some weird glitch/bug but it occurred frequently, so I reverted back to Android 9, or even threw a custom firmware, and it still shuts down on its own.
Turns out that Armory Crate says that the system temps are at a cool 34°C, GPU at 50°C, but the CPU is at a whopping 70°C!! Whenever it hits 70 or close, it just shuts the phone down entirely, and the device itself doesn't even feel like it's burning in my hands at all!
Could it be the hardware is being faulty? Or the thermals are incredibly bad? I don't even have the cooling fan, tho I ain't sure if that'll make a difference. Note that it was just working fine for the first year. I'm not entirely sure what's up, but generally it would thermal throttle and lower the clock speeds (I'm not even using X-mode!), but I just get a full shutdown. Does anybody else experience a similar problem or unexpected shutdowns in general?
(It is not always running at 2.96 GHz! It just happens to spike up to that when I took a screenshot haha)
Some people claim that the thermal paste might be old and the cooling is getting worse. I noticed it myself on my ROG 2. Play a lot of pubg, when the phone reached 43 degrees C, it would shut down.
What fixed it for me:
1. Use the standard armory crate profile on level 3 (It will shut down more often if I use the custom pubg profiles)
2. Buy a cooling fan, like black shark cooler. I have a wish cooler but it works, phone is around 37-38 degrees even in long gaming sessions.
No shut downs or problems since
