Yes, the remedy is: return it and get a different one because your chip is garbage. My phone stays cool.
Hope this helps.

No sadly not at the minute. The htc m9 is having the same issue but qualcomm have reportedly solved the issue which hopfully should be sorted in a software fix. I guess we just need to leep our fingers crossed for a software fix soon

Took my flex back because it was having issues with lag overheating and the screen died then came back on and wouldn't charge and battery died fast. The new phone is so fast it's hard to believe it's the same phone. It don't overheat and it last longer on battery. There's a bad batch of devices that are bad if i was you i would take it back . im glad i did because it's a night and day difference no lie i thought it was the software like people was saying it's not .
Just ordered mine and it would be shipped next week.
Did the 5.1.1 fix the thermal throttling and overheating?
with 5.1.1 the 810 don't go beyond 1.5GHz and still throttle but overheating is moderate, less hot than a Nexus 4 that have a S4 Pro but really hotter than a Honor 6 that have a HiSilicon Kirin SoC.

How much did killing the clock speed hurt performance though or was the performance worse with the higher clock and thermal issues?
Either I'd be little annoyed if i paid for a device with a certain chip and clock speed and an update reduced it.
They should be giving partial refunds or something along that line, you are not getting what you paid for.

There is already some discount on M9 and Flex2, I paid 400€, the price of a mid-range device and with reduced speed it perform like a good mid-range device with high-end finish.
You may have noticed that the rumored snapdragon 820 may have core named Kryo (like Cryo, icy cold in greek).

I disagree even with throttling gflex 2 is still a monster.Still high end.faster than m9. S6 is faster though. In price i agree . but even g4 s price is going down very fast.
The first leaked benchmarks of 820 show a very good single core performance and in multicore a little bit over exynos (s6).

That's why I'm considering the flex 2, I can get it for less then $500CAN. The only catch is its the H959 with only 2g ram.
current devices: Nexus 6, Note 4, 3, 2, S3, OneX+
My G Flex 2 ls996 still hits 2ghz... So not sure why that was posted. Also I have antutu benchmarks of 58000, which isn't bad. Lag has been cut down quite a bit. Every now an then there is a hiccup, but its seldom and only happens for about a second . Also haven noticed any heat issues either
This sucks if it really is so that no 2ghz after updating 5.1.1. Same if Ferrari only gives you 300hp from 600hp engine. This phone was not so good buy startin to realize it now. I downgrade it today but still 1,5ghz kernel is april dated. test antutu and serious drop, with 5.1.1 was 54000 and with 5.0.1 43500, not good.

I have frozen those apps but no thermal conf. I just use trickster mod and put row on... There was so many things better with 5.1.1 so hopefully we manage to get at least root for 5.1.1. Maybe I keep using this from now on, until and hopefully something happens. Im not satisfied my decision to buy this phone and now nexus 6 32gb 499e and with that phone we have root, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, you name it. 6" display size maybe a bit too large to carry but nexus is nexus...
If you miss the Nexus series but don't want the huge screen, deal with the Flex 2 until October (3 months) of this year and the new Nexus 5 will be out, that's what I'm doing. My old Nexus 5 runs much smoother and has zero issues. Wish I hadn't given it to my daughter.

For sure. I am also disappointed with taking this phone and can't afford a new one. The design is great, I love the curve, but the one I have now is the third one I've gotten as I handed in 2 others already that gave issues. I think LG majorly screwed up on this phone and does not want to admit it. My phone works pretty well now, and it is a definite improvement on my S4 which I had previously, though. I wouldn't mind the Nexus 6 though, or the Xiaomei Note Pro (though the development support on this one would probably zero). If I can get some cash and maybe sell this phone, I can get the Nexus 6. I'm not sure I'd be able to, unfortunately, but we'll see.
guys the phone is really overheating so much and 5 mins into games it starts to lag, i have android 5.1.1 lollipop
Hey everyonge and a happy new year! I'm looking for an upgrade for my good old RAZRi and the G Flex 2 is available for a really good price in Germany where I live.
Is the overheating still an issue with the G Flex 2? Is it a problem on both official and custom ROMs?

After playing with both phones for some time now, I decided to root my x and see which one comes out for daily use, not benchmarking. I have to say the 1 is much more enjoyable with CM10, and the battery life compared to the 1+ is much better. I do miss the dedicated headphone amp and 64GB of memory, but overall I'm much happier with the 1...who would have thought it!
I wanted the one x+, but I would've had to wait two weeks for it at my local att store... I'm happy I took the one x, and will hopefully root it once my 14 day return period with att is up

Apart from the few things like extra storage there's no way I would consider the X+ an upgrade from the X (XL in my case). The Tegra 3 is an inferior chip in my opinion even ramping up the clock speed, increasing the battery capacity was needed to handle the extra battery drain from an already inefficient chip.
I don't think quad-cores are ready for phones yet, you can see with the Nexus 4 that the quad-core version of the same chip we have in the XL also sucks down the juice like nobody's business. My wife has the international One X with the Tegra 3 and it gets real warm even in just normal use, likewise the Nexus 4 reportedly gets quite hot and benchmark scores come in low because of thermal throttling of the cpu.
The high clocked quad of the X+ is all marketing.
Always searching for the greener pasture.

I think the issue with the nexus 4 is Android 4.2. All devices running it are getting pretty ho hum battery life. Several others bugs as well.
But yeah S4 (even dual) beats Tegra 3.

OP so did you totally get rid of your One X+? I just picked it up and although I'm pretty satisfied with performance it's the battery life that kills me...
i'm hoping after removing some ATT bloatware with the recent root it improves but not sure...
hi guys so thought of opening this thread to see ur openions on reasons to get the new Note and if its worth buying for you
for me i would defently get it and my reasons are
Big screen
S-pen
Leather back and beautiful design
and i think the new battery will be a lot lot better than my S3's
I have only one reason, to give me as a christmas gift the Note 3-> i'am on a HOX now
my reason is simple "because my note1 is old and start to make problems"
I am very interested in the Note 3 if the battery shows it can get a full day's use in a single charge. My RAZR Maxx HD has spoiled me... I don't need 48 hours but I do need around 16 hours with heavy usage - 4 to 5+ hours of screen on time.

I think the extra four hours of video playback that Samsung quoted at the launch event are going to turn out to be true. Not because of some Samsung wizardry or a slightly larger battery but because of the efficiency of S-800. Here are some excerpts from Anandtech's battery review of the S-800 LG G2. Samsung's better with s/w than LG so I'd expect even better performance from the N3. Obviously comparing a LCD and AMOLED panel 1:1 isn't appropriate and typically AMOLED does better on dark colors (video) and LCD does better on light colors (web browsing). But the percentage gains Brian talks about in the review comparing the similar G1<>G2 should apply to the N2<>N3; maybe even more so because Exynos 4 is a far older design than the S4 Pro in the G1.
One of the things Qualcomm promised would come with Snapdragon 800 (8974) (and by extension the process improvement with 28nm HPM) was lower power consumption, especially versus Snapdragon 600 (8064). There are improvements throughout the overall Snapdragon 800 platform which help as well, newer PMIC (PM8941) and that newer modem block onboard as well, but overall platform power goes down in the lower performance states for Snapdragon 800. In addition the G2 has a few unique power saving features of its own, including display GRAM (Graphics RAM) which enables the equivalent of panel self refresh for the display. When the display is static, the G2 can run parts of the display subsystem and AP off and save power, which they purport increases the mixed use battery life case by 10 percent overall, and 26 percent compared to the actively refreshing display equivalent. In addition the G2 has a fairly sizable 3000 mAh 3.8V (11.4 watt-hour) battery which is stacked to get the most out of the rounded shape of the device, and utilizes LG's new SiO+ anode for increased energy density compared to the conventional graphite anode.
Our battery life test is unchanged, we calibrate the display to exactly 200 nits and run it through a controlled workload consisting of a dozen or so popular pages and articles with pauses in between until the device dies. This is repeated on cellular and WiFi, in this case since we have an international model of the G2 that lacks the LTE bands used in the USA, that's 3G WCDMA on AT&T's Band 2 network. I've tested 3G battery life on devices concurrently for a while now in addition to LTE though, so we still have some meaningful comparisons. The most interesting comparisons are to the Optimus G (APQ8064) and HTC One (APQ8064T) previous generation.
The G2 also charges very fast for its battery size. I've been profiling charging behavior and current for devices for a while now, since I strongly believe that battery life and charging speed are complimentary problems. You should always opportunistically charge your smartphone, being able to draw as much while you have access to a power outlet is critical. The G2 can negotiate a 2A charge rate on my downstream charge port controller and charges very fast in that mode. Of course the PM8941 PMIC also includes some new features that Qualcomm has given QuickCharge 2.0 branding.

In addition, Samsung's implemented Qualcomm's Envelope Tracker chip in the N3 which (supposedly) is good for a 25% overall battery life savings because of enhanced management of radio signals.
The Note contains a Qualcomm chip called an envelope tracker, which will dramatically reduce the amount of power needed to run its LTE radio. We’re going to see this technology in a lot more devices.http://gigaom.com/2013/09/05/thanks...xy-note-3s-huge-screen-wont-kill-its-battery/
It's true, it's not the battery. My Moto X with a 2100 battery can easily get 4-6 hours on screen time.

i hope that goes for the exynos version 2 because the 5210 was a fail so hoping the newer one will be better
my reason is because it can do everything the s4 can and even more on a larger screen,with a pen you can carry inside the phone!
My reasons to get N3-
1. Large Screen.
2. SoC - Preferring Snapdragon but i am afriad i will wind up getting the one Exynos.
3. RAM - Dude 3GB? The desktop i am using right now is having 2 GB RAM
4. Good Developer Support
5. I was fascinated by the leather touch given by sammy.
6. 13MP Camera is enough for me as i own Canon SX50 HS too.
7. Gonna pair the N3 with Gear.
Well this are my reasons, but to each his own..:angel:
N3 is gonna rule . \m/

1fantastic display
2)3gb ram
3)working big.LITTLE
4)multiwindow
5)Wacom pen and digitizer
6)battery life
7) Wolfson DAC on the 5420

I have been interested in the Note since the first one but was more a fan of HTC devices and was unsure with how large it was. When I switched to Sprint (bad idea) I went with the EVO 4G LTE which I like but its starting to show its age and now that pretty much all HTC devices are going the iPhone route and not allowing you to swap out the battery or add memory I started looking more at the Note 2 and Verizon. I like the large screen and like the overall feel of the phone. Doing a little research and holding out I am now very excited to go away from Sprint and their complete lie of LTE services in my area and to Verizon and a Note 3. HTC makes some nice phones but I am ready to try something else. Hope I will be able to root it the day I get it though.
I'm getting it because I want it and need it Upgrading my phone every yr is a must.
I was hoping for a 5,2 inch Nexus 6, but since that didn't happen I'm looking at a Nexus 5. Is it still a good phone? The 32gb version is about $480 from the playstore where I'm at. My HTC One Mini started to feel old 6 months ago.
I just asked that in the big thread. It seems so, but in the UK the 32GB version is out of stock on the play store so I might do an eBay job.
The store itself doesn't matter to me, but I want the 32gb and it's harder to get outside the playstore in Sweden.
I just got mine 3 days back. I had been using a Xperia Z, Galaxy S4 before. Though the S4 takes marginally better pictures than N5, the software and responsiveness and the developer support on the N5 is just incredible. This was one of the main reasons for me to get the N5.
Yeah it is still worth it, the camera is just fine as it is (still deliver high quality of picture) and i can do 4-5 hours SOT on battery.
You have to consider the fact that, nexus 5 is not only a 2013 phone but more like 2014 phone because most 2014 android flagships has the same snapdragon 801 cpu architecture as 800 cpu, other than just a mior changes added in 801.
Nexus 5 is a future proof phone, will last for many years to come

The thing I liked about my Nexus 4 was the feeling that someone actually cared about my experience, and really wanted to improve it for me. I've never had that with any other phone.
Just ordered a 32gb Nexus 5, looking forward to Android L-based PA. Oh, the sexiness.
Good choice.. I would suggest you unlock your boot loader, root your Nexus, flash the dalvic and bionic mods, camcorder fix and your good to go!
Rock solid if you prefer its spec's!
Of course its still a solid buy. It is off contract for $349 USD, you cannot beat that given hardware and software.
Hi, Black friday deals have started popping up in my country and I found a pretty good deal on the Oneplus one so I thought i'd buy one, but I have a few questions before I do:
1. I mostly do browsing, whatsapp and some gaming on my phone so I wanted to know if the experience on the oneplus One is buttery smooth in the things I listed. I currently have an Iphone 4s and I can't stand the little stutters, long loadings before opening apps and a lot of lags in internet browsing and in Whatsapp. My main reason for buying a new phone is a better general experience, so its really important for me that the OPO will be smooth.
I just saw reviews on the new Oneplus X which has the same processor as the oneplus One, and some of the reviews said that the Snapdragon 801 is really showing its age, so it got me a bit worried.
2. I saw that some people had issues with the touch on the Oneplus One. Are those issues resolved? And If not, should I worry about it?
3. For the people who play Hearthstone, does this phone handle Hearthstone well? I know that even phones with good processors have some troubles with Hearthstone so I want to know if the Oneplus one handles it well.
Thanks in advance!
I got mine in May this year and so far it has been running smoothly. Gaming and everyday tasks like the ones you listed posed no problems. The touchscreen issues have also been fixed over the last months. For the best experience you should try out some custom roms.
I hope I could help you

Thank you, happy to hear its been working smoothly for you. I heard there's a really good custom rom called Sultan CM12, but honestly im afraid to get into roms and stuff like that because I almost bricked my nexus 4 messing with roms, and I don't really wanna take risks with this one.
There are plenty of guides and tutorials online which explain step by step how to flash custom roms /recoveries. Even with the stock pre-installed CM you will surely get a great user experience

The iPhone 4S is ancient and massively slower than pretty much any new phone on the market for several years now. Get hold of an iPhone 5/5S and you see the huge difference.
As for Snapdragon 801 "showing its age", that's still a pretty much wrong statement. Snapdragon 801 performs on about the same level with the Intel Atom processors seen in the mid-range Asus Zenfone 2, while delivering massively better battery life. The 801 is also better than Qualcomm's current 64-bit midrange Snapdragon 615. Tests show that Qualcomm's top of the line Snapdragon 808 and 810 do beat the 801 in a number of tests anywhere from a non-significant factor up to a factor of two. But those new 64-bit SoCs also have issues with heat and battery life, and so the phones using those often throttle the performance after a minute or two to prevent overheating.
In my experience, the Oneplus One is an excellent and very responsive phone. In USA, it's still the best $300 phone for those who don't demand the compatibility with the LTE's band 12. Oneplus X should have been a fine phone too considering the price of only $250, but Oneplus has really messed up the usability of LTE on the American version.

According to phonearena a unkown source has leaked that the G Flex 3 will be unveiled at IFA at Berlin in September, because i'm a new member i can't provide a link but i have attached a printscreen showing the article from phonearena. (Turns out i can't upload the printscreen because i'm a new member if you just search on google phonearena g flex 3 it will show up.

Rumored Specs:-
5.5 QHD
Snapdragon 820
4 RAM
16MP Rear Camera
8MP Front Facing
Possible Modular Design
No Word On Self Healing Back.
(More To Be Revealed Hopefully)
Personally i'm hoping if this is true then LG may actually remember about our G Flex 2's and maybe push forward to provide updates and hopefully consider unlocking the bootloader. Whats your opinions?:fingers-crossed:
All those specs are fine, apart from the qHD screen. We don't need them on phones yet. I had a G3 and the reason I went to the flex 2 was because I was sick of it getting hot from driving a qHD display. Batteries haven't gotten larger in capacity in flagship phones for a while now, so I don't see the benefit of it for the everyday user. However if they give us a bootloader unlock I'm sure many people will be happy with their current Flex2 and see no need to upgrade to what will be pretty much just a curved G5.
Not many people want to change from the Flex2 as it is.

G flex 2 is an amazing phone but like u said unlocking the bootloader would then. Mean no need for flex 3 as the 2 is fine as it is besides overheating issues but the issues should get fuxed in MM update

Yeah the only reason this article excited me was because hopefully LG will pay more attention to the Flex 2 and push out more updates and have better support for the device, no one is going to want a Flex 3 if they see how much little development and lack of updates and attention the 2 got, espically being a flagship it was ridiculous how much LG forgot about our Flex 2's, regarding the overheating i dont belive any updates in the future will fix that as we all know we got the first version of the 810 which was flawed with overheating from the off. 4gb of ram and a 820 sounds perfect but that qhd is gonna eat the battery unless it has atleast a 4000mah battery also ive grown to like 5'2 inch screens, 5'5 is a bit of a damper aswell to me.

QHD is resolution so 4x HD, OLED is a type of display, i think i might wait to see reviews on the flex 3 if it comes out, but if they unlock the bootloader on the flex 2 i don't see a reason to upgrade apart from the 4gm of ram and 820 on the flex 3.

Ohh rite cause whenever companies release they always say qhd screen or 2k which led me to think only lcd can have qhd or 2k

I agree bougth this phone full price even after a lot of mods still the same overheating problems, and locked bootloader.
im never buying an LG device anymore
Not having any overheating issues here. Cpu sits on 35 degrees with general use and under email benchmark load for half an hour doesn't go above 60. Big difference to my G3 that used to hit 80 degrees at some points.
I also don't see a need to go to the 820/4gb ram for the everyday user. I struggle to use 2gb of RAM on my flex 2 as it is, and have never had any performance problems with my 810. I'm rooted, on the 5.1.1 rooted AT&T KDZ, with a few hundred apps installed, and consider myself a power user. As far as I'm concerned, current phone is perfect.

My CPU normally levels out at about 43 degrees with moderate use but I would love a custom kernel to have a mess around with the reason the 820 and 4gb appeal to me is because multi tasking and gaming doesnt mix aswell on my flex 2 as it does with my z2, also it kinda future proofs the phone for me if the g flex 3 has unlocked bootloader and better support i wouldnt have a reason to replace it, whereas the flex 2 got slow updates a somewhat buggy UI and locked bootloader or i would be keeping my flex 2 as my daily driver

Thanks for the reply but 9008 is not the same as 9003, I tried with lg mobile, and any program that can flash a flex 2 and nothing

Im going back to Samsung as soon as the new Note drops
Also i read that LG was dropping the flex series to continue on with the V series... Guess thats false...
Also the whole modular gimmick is a turn off

820 is more power efficient (14nm vs 20nm).

The thing you need to consider is that is it worth 400 pound just for that i truthfully dont see a issue with the flex 2
