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.
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.
Hey, was just wondering what settings you all have under Kernel Auditor in order to ensure 5 hours+ SOT. I personally have a dual core setup and have the other two cores kick in when the load gets to 90%, but this seems sort of sluggish now and I only get about 3.5-4 hours SOT and I don't play any games; just simple browsing and productivity. Others manage to get up to 5-6 hours SOT and I wonder how, I have NEVER been able to get this much. Standby is great though, 10 hours overnight and I lose only 3% battery. I am running on Pure Nexus Project ROM and latest Hells Core Kernel.
thats about the regular time I get outa mine. If I had to guess a lot of these 5+ hours are from watching videos or something that doesn't involve touching the screen. I've been using HC kernel with just zen decision on max performance settings and gpu on performance governor (since it idles 27mhz anyway might as well ramp up to full 600mhz for touches) for smoothness.
I have it setup that all my cores are on all the time, no hotplugging. ondemand/deadline, mpdecision disabled, fsync disabled. and I get 5+ hours sot every single day. no, I do not watch videos. but I do keep my brightness all the way down.
Hey, where do you go to disable fsync

it has to be an option in the kernel that youre using, at least the kernel has to expose it so that you can disable it. if its not xposed in general, then you cant disable it. im using despair kernel.
Try undervolting. Unless you severely under clock your cores you won't really see battery life improvement.
I keep my max CPU speed at 2803mhz. You might think "oh well if you're running higher frequencies then more battery drain". Not exactly. The difference between 2649mhz and 2803mhz will be negligible in terms of battery life so I'm seeing a slight performance increase with no significant battery loss. For example, on 2649mhz after a full day of normal usage I'd have about 49% battery life. On 2803mhz I'd have about 43%. I got a good performance increase and a more snappier device in terms of loading web pages, apps, opening documents etc so that extra 6% I lost doesn't matter to me, because its not significantly impacting me, I barely notice most of the time.
So yeah, the same goes for lowering CPU speeds to unless you significantly lower them. Putting max CPU speed to something like 2572mhz, you wouldn't even notice e the difference in battery. Now lowering it to like 1958mhz, or 2188mhz and you'll see a difference because at that point your severely under clocking.
You could also be draining your battery by hotplugging. That's why some people like Zen and MP Decision to keep all cores online when screen is on. If you use your device often, its better to have all cores running. If you don't and its kept in your pocket for hours at a time, hotplugging is the way to go.
Try under volting too. I do. Global Under Volt of -60.

undervolting doesnt really save you battery, but it does reduce heat. and hotplugging or having all your cores on doesnt really factor in when you dont use your device that much. as, if you have all your cores on or hotplugging, your phone should be in deep sleep anyways. it does make a difference when your phone is awake. i get much better battery life when all my cores are on all the time.
Should there be a sticky of suggested settings of differing requirements of speed, battery life, etc?

honestly, I don't think so. as the settings/setup used is always dependent on how you actually use the device. and many people have different opinions on how it should be set up.
A month ago or so, i had this random period of time where perfZ started to show "-" for temperature ( i assume its gpu temperature because it doesnt match with battery or cpu temp from another app) and my phone was heating up much more in games but so was the performance was way better.
Normally after thermal throttling kicks in and device reaches heat equilibrium, my battery would sit around 38-39C, cpu at 42-43C. But in that time period where it showed "-", my equilibrium was battery sitting at 44C, cpu at 47-48C. Phone was considerably hotter to touch but you could still game on it. And performance was way better, it would fall to 50fps min instead of 40fps, which is very noticable. (Dont have exact numbers maybe a bit better)
Idk how this happened as it randomly happened one day but does anyone know how to make this work? My device isnt rooted. (s10+ exy)
(Small note: Using game plugins at max performance or custom doesnt help, maybe they arent optimised for dead by daylight, because thats the only game i play)
So I disabled the game booster and game launcher, also currently trying to disable the game optimization service but can't.
The phone is experiencing a fps drop at least every 10 seconds or so when I am playing pubgm on the lowest graphic setting.omegle xender
Does anyone else have this issue? CPU usage was never 100%. (and gpu usage is always below 15%) In fact, it pretty much stays around 50% all the time, so I don't really have a clue why it is having a stutter/lag every now and then.
Also, there seems to be some sort of input lag. Not sure if that is related to the issue above.
