I have had my Verizon S6 for a little over two weeks now. In general I like it, but I've noticed it seems to overheat easily. A repeatable scenario is while playing Olaf's Adventures (Don't judge me!) for about 10 minutes I'll get the "Cooling Down" warning. I won't have anything else running in the background. I tends to happen the fastest when I'm playing that and doing multiple things in the game at the same time (have Olaf run around & interact with his world at the same time).
To those of you who have a S6 could you download this free game and see if your phones overheat as well? I'm wondering if it's just my phone, or if all the S6s are that way.
Thanks!
I personally never had the overheat issue while playing graphic intensive games, such as WoT and Modern Combat 5. I think it's the issue with the app, not the phone itself.
Yes it gets really hot after playing for 7-8 minutes . But didn't show any warning . I think it's just an app issue.
I'll check out Modern Combat 5 and WoT and see what happens there. I also noticed it happened with Google Cardboard.
I downloaded and tried Modern Combat 5 and watched the temps with CPUz. It didn't seem to get above 61c, so either it isn't as demanding, or like you said Olaf's Adventures is poorly written. It worries me that Google Cardboard also caused overheating though. Does anyone else have heating issues with Google Cardboard? Again it could be the apps fault. I believe it was some VR theater that caused the overheating.

While playing a game(it could be any demanding game) suddenly the screen stops responding to touch and neither do the capacitive buttons. After several seconds you are able to do anything and then even after you exit the game everything remains a stutter mess until you restart the phone. Does it happen with anyone? Really disappointing when it happens.
no. I played Asphalt 6 and it is ok. But I just play small games now.
It doesnt happen every time for me but "sometimes" and it never happens while playing light games like angry birds.
I only got that twice because the phone probably was out of memory. Don't play high demanding games and you are fine
Ya I suppose heavy games should be avoided now, nexus S does provide a totally smooth smartphone experience otherwise. I dont restart my phone for days now and it all works smoothly, just gaming which can really bring it to it's knees.
Hello everyone,
I have had my HTC One S since december 2013 and it's really an upgrade to my old Galaxy S Advance, though there is one thing that's bothering me. The lag. Yes. I really don't know why, but my HTC One S lags in the simplest games. When in Flappy Bird, the event where Flappy heads down again creates a slight stuttering resulting in me hitting pipes. My HTC outstands my S Advance in all aspects, though on my Samsung, this lag is not happening.
In Monkey Flight, also a very simple 2D game, lag is occurring as well. I recently installed "Bouncing Slime", which also suffers from the same kind of "falling lag" (when you jump and you start falling down again). I have absolutely no clue why this is happening, because my HTC handles games like Injustice or Riptide GP2 just fine.
I suspected some time the lag was created by the ads in a game when the game is loaded, though it occurs also when my phone is offline. I really don't have a clue. Also, my Beats audio is turned off as I never play with headphones (I read somewhere Beats Audio causes lag).
Technical information:
HTC One S: 4.1.2 | European radio
Everything is as closed as it can be. Not rooted and no bootloader stuff. I'm fully stock.
If anyone knows what's wrong, please let me know. This truly affects my experience with this phone.
(I am fine with rooting the phone btw, as long as I don't touch my bootloader)
Thanks in advance,
Anthe
I case of Flappy Bird everbody on every device have a lag. Even on Galaxy S4 there is a lag. It's not you device it's your system. I'm on cm11 and it work's great. Even with high end game.
warning: block of text coming but I would really, really, really appreciate the help
Hello everyone. I got the Samsung Galaxy S6 with a subscription with KPN Provider. This was almost 3 weeks ago. I received my new S6 within days but the phone was getting too hot too quickly for my taste. For simple things such as updating, browsing. Also when I played the game One Piece Treasure Cruise and used Mobizen to capture the screen so I could broadcast my gameplay through Twitch the phone would reboot automatically very quickly. This happened multiple times and I never even got a warning that the phone was getting too hot. I used to do the same thing on my S4 and it worked almost perfect. The phone would get somewhat warmer and it would lag just a little but it never just turned itself off or became hot to the touch
After checking on this forum and other websites I thought my phone was defect so I sent it back and waited for a new one. The phone they sent me after a week was exactly the same one I sent them. It was apparently a "technical mistake" and I had to send it back again so I could get a new one this time. The new phone arrived this last Thursday and immediately it became obvious that this phone suffered from the same "defect". Now though I'm not too sure if it's defect or if every Samsung Galaxy S6 is like this. So I've been keeping track
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did some tests.
I ran Antatu Benchmark. The phone got up to 84.0 C twice once during the CPU test and once during the game test. So now im just wondering what you guys are getting during this test? Could a couple of other people do it as well and tell me what temperature their phone was? I thought this phone was working correctly.
I watched a youtube video for 23 minutes and the temperature stayed around 39.0 C - 43.0 C.
Browsing/general multitasking. So I tested having 6 apps on and Chrome having 5 tabs on. If I switch really fast between the apps the temperature gets up to 61.0 C but only stays like that for seconds and immediately goes back to 40-45.0 C. That's also the temperature the phone runs when I browse on Chrome, Facebook while having the other apps on as well.
I've been testing some more by playing the game and streaming it and the CPU stays almost exclusively under 70.0 C, around 65.0 C with some spikes to 73.0 C.
I transferred 10 screenshots from one map to another using the native folder app a couple of times. It got up to 67.0 C one time and the rest of the time it got up to 60.0 C.
It spikes to over 71.0 C for a second when it installs a new app. and sometimes when I'm playing the game, streaming and then take a screenshot.
So at first I was planning on bringing it back because I thought like the last phone that it would just reboot itself when it got really hot, over 80.0 C easily but this one is staying pretty normal I think.
I also saw this other post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/galaxy-s6-86c-normal-t3180483 and so I performed the same test.
I downloaded 3c Toolbox free version for my phone because I wasn't sure the monitor apps I had were showing the correct Temp but Toolbox shows the exact same temperatures as CPU Z.
The battery has been consistent and always around the 32-33 C temp. So I don't have any worries there. I'm still planning on going to the stores tomorrow to test the show phones. I mean if the phones that have been lying there for months and being abused by every customer have normal temps then I'm definitely trading my in. Also going to the samsung repair point to see what they have to say.
I'm using this btw as guideline for the temperature of the CPU. Don't remember where i got it from.
Normal use: 32° C - 45° C (86F – 113F) Play games or graphics applications: 50° C - 75° C (122F – 167F) CPU power is automatically reduced by a temperature over 80° C (176F)
My last phone went way over this limit I set for it with normal use being always above 50 C. This one went it's not being used is already around the 40 C.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just played the OPTC Global version for an hour straight. The only background apps were the monitor apps. All 3 of them were active and I was very surprised.
I made sure to have my hands all over the phone so I could always be aware of the heat. It was just warm to the touch. At the end I checked the monitor apps and they CPU Z and Toolbox gave around 57-61 C and Cool Master around 33.5 C.
I don't know why it was normal this time. I will now let it sit there for a half hour and then test it while having mobizen on and streaming to twitch through my laptop.
Btw the reason why I'm so dead set on making sure the phone can handle the game and streaming is because I actually bought the phone with the intention of being able to play this game and then be able to stream it. I managed it on S4 with some lag and I thought the S6 could easily do it as well. I know the Iphone can do it easily without even having to turn SFX off which i have to do to play it without LAG. I think that's because the Samsung Galaxy has too high of a resolution/DPI.
Ok, so I just spent an 1,5 hour playing the game and broadcasting the gameplay. I am again surprised. I mean I'm also happy but it's really strange that suddenly now it's working pretty good.
The phone got warm but I wouldn't say hot or annoying to touch really. The hottest part of the phone was right above the Power button.
The phone stayed around 68.0 C this time with some spikes to 74 but only 3 times. I took a screenshot but I can't post the link.
The game lagged a couple of times but this might have also been because of Wifi and it wasn't really that noticeable.
As soon as I stopped the phone got really cool again within 5 - 10 min.
I'm off to test the japanese version of the game. I'm really happy right now guys!
Return your S6 back to your seller for warranty replacement.

Hey, thanks for answering.
I'm wondering what temperature your phone runs when it's downloading and installing an app? or some other activity, that way i can compare.
I watched a youtube video for 23 minutes and the temperature stayed around 39.0 C - 43.0 C. I don't know how to test the web browsing or at least what would affect the CPU enough to show me good results.
I've been testing some more by playing the game and streaming it and the CPU stays almost exclusively under 70.0 C, around 65.0 C with some spikes.
It spikes to over 70 for a second when it installs a new app. and sometimes when I'm playing the game, streaming and then take a screenshot.

Got a brand new Galaxy S7 from AT&T a few days ago - everything is very fast as expected except one thing... games.
Noticed it first in Candy Crush Jelly - sometimes things will "freeze" like a lag spike hits them. When I move something in the game, the screen animation doesn't do anything at first then will catch up a second later.
Verified it by testing a few other games (Sonic Dash, Rayman Adventures) - there are definite hiccups among animations from time to time. It isn't TOO obvious but it's there.
I have tried disabling all the Samsung Game services and Game Launcher - doesn't solve it. Also tried using Google Now launcher but there is quite a bit of free RAM no matter the launcher in use so not sure that's it either.
I switched from iPhone where this wasn't an issue so it's fairly noticeable - is it normal or is this something I can fix?
iphone in general superior than android in gaming, and S7 is the worst gaming device i ever seen, sammy screwed up with 6.0.1 in that regard, Note 5 is light years faster than s7 with android 5.1.1, but with 6.0.1 it suffers the same freezes.
There is no solution atm, not all games effected but a lot, at least all i tested.
Hi everyone.
Someone else experiencing problems while gaming?
I'm playing Dragon Ball Legends and sometimes the game becomes very very slow.
Tried deleting the game from Game Space, and it seemed worked at first but happened again...
I've set 120hz and 60hz manually also, and the problem persists.
Sometimes going to the home screen and back to the game works but I play online, it's annoying.
I think it's inadmissible for an expensive phone like this to have such issues. It's my first Chinese smartphone, and I'm not so happy with it
i find the GPU is set a little to passive. (slow to ramp up). Works well for battery though not so much for gaming. You can use "Game Space" an pre-installed app to make it run full power all the time. Games run great. Though phone gets hot and battery suffers.
IV been trying to use my PS4 controller via Bluetooth to play COD but it's just really bad lag and after touch movement, it's like after you stop moving or ADS it's like it keeps moving for about half a second very unplayable anyone else come across this?

Dragon Ball Legends works great on mine in any settings. I don't play online matches though. Maybe you just have poor connection?

Hi.
I fixed it turning off the battery saver option at the game settings!
That sh*t was bugging the game performance somehow, instead of helping me lol

Of course battery saving would decrease game performance. I'm glad you found the solution.

Well, I had a S7 edge and the Xperia xz2 before, always playing with the battery saver ON and had no big issues...
Yes the fps was far away from now, but I could play without any problems.
With the Oppo it's impossible to play.
My gaming experience has been less optimal lately, Fortnite is laggy even if I lower the graphics. Maybe the game is not well optimised? I'm on C57. Have you noticed anything like that?
