Hey guys, I have sensation XE and the device often gets very hot. Right now I'm using ViperS rom and bricked kernel, but that's happened with many different roms and kernels.
It's usually happens when I'm playing 3D games and it's very annoying to play games like subway surfers or temple run because after playing a while the device gets hot and the game become laggy.
Anyway to solve it?
My settings are: bricked kernel, ondemand governor, min freq 190 max freq 1500. No UV or anything.

Not sure if there is a solution for this. I also experience this when playing games. Although lately it hasn't been as hot on the Rom I'm running now.. wish I knew of a solution but I don't. I think this happens with all sensations.

I wouldn't mind if it wasn't causing lags while playing games.

It could be a hardware issue or a ROM issue or a kernel issue.
It's always going to get warm when playing a gam ethat's heavy on the system resources like that. But it shouldn't get 'hot'.
Are you over clocking the CPU? If so, that'll do it. Try scalign the CPU down a bit to like 1.2 and see if that gives an improvement. It might also cause decreased gaming performance, but it would help diagnose the cause of the heat buildup.
You can calso try alternate kernels (I'm not amiliar enough with Viper to suggest one) to see if they process the GPU more efficiently.
I don't think that's a ROM or kernel issue, because it happened with several different roms and kernels.
I tried to underclock to 1400mhz but it didn't made a real difference.

1400 isn't such a big difference, I keep mine at 1Ghz and it's still smooth, and moderately warm. You could also see it as a good thing, at least the heat doesn't stay trapped inside the device, which would be deadly for it.
The solution is Undervolting or Underclocking or both.
The device became laggy because of thermald, which limits the max freq to a lower value if the cpu temp is more than a value.
I try all kernel the only way to keep cool our phone is to use nitrogen. The best for now is Sebastian FM KERNEL

I know that if you OC/UV incorrectly, it can cause stability issues. But I was wondering does it cause any damage to the phones hardware like battery, etc? And like how can you tell when SETCPU is causing problems?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well if you OC to high numbers your just stressing the cpu more.Knowing when you have issues is simple getting random reboots,phone getting too hot etcc.
It differs for every phone but undervolting -25 for each voltages works well.
Personally I really don't see the point overclocking to high levels like 1.4 ghz etc,Is up to individual I guess.

Yeah I have been wondering what's the point of OC to 1.4? Does it make that big of a difference in the 4g speed? And cpu speed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Honestly, there really is no point other than for benchmarks. I, like mt3g, actually underclock the phone to something like 750-760mhz; it runs beautifully smooth.
Other than that, if you game a lot and want to maximize FPS, then overclocking would do that for you.
Doesn't have anything to do with 4g speed afaik. That's entirely reception.
Yeah 4g is about reception and tmobile simply.
I mean I had single core devices like MT4g ,SGS 4g for the most part on a day to day basis transitions to transitions theres not much diffirence in terms of speed. Now for FPS and a few other games you need that dual core.Point is there"s no need to OC a dual core phone!

I have had mine OC'd to 1.1 ghz with some undervolts. It is very stable , 10-12 hr battery with medium to heavy use , and ofcourse fast. Took a while to find the best settings.
When I have SetCPU set to 1015 megahertz, that's the same as stock voltage, isn't it?

Changes you might see are battery life but not that much unless you so how mess with voltage. Like other have said you know it effecting stability when its overheating, shutting down randomly, exiting program randomly.
My Sensation is running OrDroid 9.0.0 Sense 4.0 Rom. It gets warm/hot when using simple apps like facebook, messaging, Youtube, etc... I had this problem since last year too. I got my Sensation since August of last year.

Don't do gpu over clock then.. That will cool down your device a bit.. Also.. Try some under volting the kernel (there is a uv mod.. You can use that) .. It prevents heating a bit too

I'm not overclocked though. I'm on the standard frequency, 1.2Ghz. I'm also on bricked kernal if that helps. What does decreasing the voltage do, or what voltage should I have?

You should try that for yourself because not every device can handle every voltage decreasing the voltage makes that there is not so much electricity going trough the CPU you save battery and your battery is not overheating so fast

Mine did too with both stock and ARHD roms. Thought its the battery getting getting warm for the longest time but it turned out to be CPU/GPU. I'm using Viper S now and do not overclock CPU/GPU. Works well and heat is down significantly. Still gets warm occasionally (GPS, Browser, Google Now) but not as much and battery last longer.
I tried Vipers S Rom but everything ran VERY choppy and what govner do you recommend to get that cold GPU/CPu effect?

When you try different ROMs and have query ask in the right ROM forum. You'll have a better chance for a right answer.
There isn't a tremendous amount of things you can do to bring down the temperature significantly. As everyone said, under volting, and under clocking can do a little bit.
It isn't a big problem, because it shouldn't pass, from what I remember, 43-46 degrees Celsius. Of course it will vary with what your doing, playing games will make it hotter, especially if you are in a hot environment.
Don't worry too much about it.

Well, what I'm saying is that when I use facebook, it gets really hot.
Hey guys, just wondering what everyone's thoughts on the variety of kernels for the new viperS rom. What are you all using and what is your performance, fluidity and battery life like? What kernel or rom mods are you using and why? What effects are you achieving?
I'm curious to see what our sensations can do!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
The first one one the kernels download list in venom hub.
ondemandX 192-1188
undervolt of 100
gpu2d/3d by default..no oc
disabled location, gmail, and other htc apps/services
no facebook, twitter or any similiar active programs.
I'm running the same kernel with no over clock or under volt of any kind. Location on, Facebook on, what's app and viber and 4hr poll on exchange mail. Wifi on and 2g data when Wifi not available, 83 per cent after 4 hours and 20 minutes standby.

I use faux atm. Phone runs much smoother, but my battery life was hit hard by this...
Think the next kernel I'll try is the forbidden one.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I must agree, faux is definitely the smoothest and snappiest kernel, at least on my phone, but same as you, battery is hit hardest, but I find hardest hit on standby, but reasonable on active usage.
SebastianFm is, on my device, definitely the most stable, but less modded. A nice simple kernel. Coupled with the flashable aroma mod from iba21, it's extremely battery friendly, yet still satisfactory in performance.
Bricked with its flashable mod is also very battery friendly in idle, but I find it hits hardest on active usage.
Pyd kernel, although I've read good things about this kernel, I don't really fancy flashing boot images and the like, so I can't comment on it personally. I would like to hear more on this kernel though, from active users

i am using Faux10b7. At 192 min 1566max cpu
gpu over clocked to 300, no zram, -100ma underclock.
Everything is smooth. Phone gets heated only when playing games.
i agree using faux is the best for performance, no lags and delays, everything is smooth... been using the forbidden one just moments ago, so far it is good, but remember to nandroid backup before you install and try different kernels esp. the forbidden one.

Hello,everyone....recently I overclock my desire s and thanks to many of you I received many useful information so I want to share impression how overclocking has improved performance and battery to help other like us to know what and how to use overclocking and governor....
So I start ....
I use Viper saga with tweaked kernel 3.x/ondemand with deadline/cpu min.245-max.1410
I noticed that my graphic is very good and everything works like a charm....for example in FIFA12 I noticed that even the shadow of all player are so intense and everything is so clear,it seems that improves my graphic and my phone is faster..I hope that overclocking to 1410 to not damaged my phone.So what configuration do you have ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Set the governor to performance. Battery eater though. But u only can choose better battery life or smoother graphics, so make up ur mind and choose one :thumbup:
When playing with overclocking unstick 'set on boot'. So that it goes back to normal once reboot in case of any freeze. Overclock it based on ur desired value, experiment with it, slowly. increase the value step by step. Leave it for a day then increase again. If it freezes then u know ur phone's limit.

i have read that people say it's stable up to 1.5 GHz.
I have set mine to 1.3GHz to be on the safe side.
And set it to,on demand,so it only takes up more when it needs to.
setting it up to high speeds can result in a melt down,draining batteries and will shorten out the life of your phone even when stable for a couple of days so be aware of what your doing...
there is no best value for everyone, some say 1ghz is enough, some say 1.5 ghz is not enough.
so it depends on what you need, its a trial and error thing
u will get a fast response phone but battery life is sucs ... cant complain though

Never a good idea to overclock CPU more than 1.5 GHZ . That is the maximum stable frequency for our processor.

If you want separate screen on/screen off profiles, I would recommend daemon controller app (with andrev_oc installed through the app).
If you want more profiles for different situations, setcpu is probably the only real option.
Setting to 1.3 GHz depends on the kernel you're using, not on the app.

Hi,
Playing games=more cpu=more battery=more heat.
This is quite normal.
50 degrees is not unusual.
80 degrees , and the phone should cut out before frying.
Play around with different kernels and different governors,until you find a reasonable balance.
Your phone is not a games machine.
Please allow for that.
Install ARHD 7 Rom with stock or custom kernel n it b good ya it vll heat a bit but that's natural
HIT THANKS IF I HVE HELPED YOU
Thanks guys, but i stick with bruces rom, i thrust his rom the most. I've overclocked it just to 1200 with governor lagfree, no underclocks anymore
