Hello, on my Note 2 running official CM 10.1, there are always only 3 cores that are active and one is always offline no matter what governor I used. So how can I make all the cores active or this is the characteristic of the kernel? Thanks.

Cores setting

Your device doesn't necessarily need all four cores to run, the more cores that runs that means it'll need more power, hence the battery drain.
The phone sometimes only uses two cores or even one, depending on the task you're running or what tasks are you multitasking with.
It all really depends. I'm not a super tech guy, but I don't see it impossible to enable all four cores, but it just seems quite pointless.

Hey, I have the latest Nightly of CyanogenMod and I note that the minimum processor frequency is 1190 mhz maximum equal. Now try to change it, but always returns to that frequency, it affects the processor? Or that the device is hotter? Thanks for answering

Use No Frills CPU Control to set the Min processor frequency correctly and tick the set on boot option to ensure that the setting doesn't change.

I use performance control and I put set on boot and doesn't work

Hello
I have the Nexus 5 and I have problem of overheating.
I used a lot of roms (SlimKat, Official 4.4.4 with ART & Dalvik, Android L, etc.) and a lot of kernels (franco, x elemental, etc)
None of kernels nor roms fixed the overheating problem
I used CPU-Z to see the temp of my phone. It was 44C. I used the phone only for internet (10mins).
Any help here???
Who told you 44 Degrees Celsius is overheating?

Then it is not 44 degrees
44C is still cold, your body temp is 37C. and if your phone overheats, it will shut down. the overheat temp is 105C. anything lower than that isnt overheating. and feel doest tell you what temp it actually has, all its doing is comparing temps to your hand.
If you're really concerned, you can experiment with undervolting your CPU/GPU and underclocking the CPU/GPU. I don't own a Nexus 5, but I'm sure there is no need to do any of the above.

undervolting will lower cpu temps a little, but its not a huge difference.
Correct, but with the way he worded his concern, it seems as if he would be willing to take any step possible to prevent the device from "burning" his hand

if he doesnt like how the heat feels on his hand, id stop playing cpu intensive games :angel:
as it can get darn hot when doing so. i keep my throttle disabled and watch a live cpu temp notification, ive gotten as hot as 86C playing ridge racer for nearly an hour
Haha true.

Hi guys, so I recently bought a nexus 5 I just got it like 5 days ago. My problem is that I have some lag problems. My phone lags when I play games like Dead trigger 2. I also have this game called Kritika, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's from Gamevil, and it lags pretty bad. So why is this? It's a Nexus 5, I shouldn't have problems with the Snapdragon 800 processor. I also seem to have a little stutter in fruit ninja. Is it just me or do I have a defective device. Or is there nothing wrong with it? Can someone please tell me whether I should send it back or not? Thank you.
Is it on stock? If no reflash stock then factory reset the device. Then load nothing else but the game. If it lags it hardware.

It's probably overheating

Most likely or at least hitting the throttle temp limit.

Yup, and it'll cut back to 1100 mhz then i believe it'll step down again to around 6-700 if it's not getting cooler

Yeah but it's just that my nexus 4 ran dear trigger 2 just fine on high

That's why we suggested it could be a hardware issue

Yup, or perhaps (I'm unsure) the 5 throttles earlier than the 4?

no, but it heats up quicker than the n4.
Yeah but I just don't feel like sending it back. So I guess there's nothing I can do: (

Can anyone verify that dead trigger 2 and kritika lag on their nexus 5 too? Then I'll be happy, because I'll know that that they obviously lag on all nexus 5's

i have dead trigger 2, theres no lag. then again, i use a custom kernel for performance, and i disable thermal throttle.
Must be why then, did it lag before your custom kernel?

I would bet on thermal throttling like everyone else is saying. I noticed that although my Nexus 4 got absurdly hot with a raised thermal throttle, games ran better. That phone was a launch device and is used by my dad every day now without any lasting effects. I've done the same with my Nexus 5 with similar effect, although it doesn't seem to get as hot as my old phone. I would say that it's safe to do, and should get rid of the lag

Does your phone heat up while its lagging? If so, it would be because of thermal throttling like the other have mentioned (reducing CPU frequency so the phone can cool down)
You can flash a custom kernel and either remove thermal throttling or increase the amount of temperature of thermal throttling (so it will reduce CPU only at higher temperatures).

Yeah it does heat up while it's lagging, but the problem is that it doesn't take time to lag, it just starts lagging when I start the game up, not over time, so I was wondering if it was a hardware problem.

You know what guys I suspect it's just those two apps that lag, cuz other games run just fine

I played DT2 a lot on my N5.. Never had a problem. Back then my N5 was fully stock.
I observed none of the CPU Temperature apps is showing the real reading. Or is TouchWiz trying to fool them by showing low readings? because my phone is getting a lot warm for touch even in a low temp.(according to the apps available in Play store). Is there any way to see the real temp through software itself?
Use cpuz or aida64.

I took the highest value from the AIDA64 among the 'therm_zoneX' values as you can see from the attached pic. Also have attached my readings during a session of NFS No limits. Please have a look. Seems crazy!?
