Hi,
since i have rooted my phone with this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xper...weaks-t3298224) and help during some problems i now have another problem.
When using high graphic apps like navigation or games the phone is getting extremly warm! Which also causes the apps to slow down or even stop working (properly).
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Thank you,
That happens on my unrooted phone. Just the way it is
I didnt had this trouble before. The temperature is going above 65 ° C which is way to hot.
I get 50+ when playing Pokemon...

Hi everybody, hopefully my problem hasnt been posted yet.
I am from germany, so I am using Navigon Software for Navigation. Some users reported this problem too, but I dont know if its Software or hardware related.
When I use Navigon while charging the phone it takes about 15minutes, the Phone gets freaky hot around the camera and the status LED flashed red-green-red. The accu temperature is shown as 50 °C (i thinks thats the maximum before the phone trys to save itself by stopping the charge)
Has anyone similar problems? Would you suggest a software problem? My old Desire gets pretty warm too, but not so hot that it goes into save mode.
Todays the last day I can return the phone without amazon questioning anything (14th day). So what should I do?! Its not that I use navigation and charging all the time, but it just sucks.
It shouldn't get that hot no, I'd send it in.
I have that problem since i got this tsablet.
On stock ics,stock jb,cm10,cm10.1,all 4.x roms.
It happens when the tab is charging,and in weak use(did it only once),and generally when it is in use(very warm on top left of the tab).I manage to cool it down by using an laptop cooling dock,but it shouldnt be normal that it overheats,should it?
Thank you.
Me too...
Just same tab and it is always over +30 C° temperature and my tab isnt even 3 months old. And when i play it gets to 33-36. Even now writing this this feels warm. Try battery stats+ and check your temperature and compare to cloud. Its prettyweird what twmperatures others have. I have.too looked for solution and i hope someone helps us.
I have no problem at all with the temperature of my tablet. It's never overheated (except when I play games for a while) but then again, I do watch my apps. What could help is checking which apps start at boot. If you have to many apps starting at boot, it could cause your tablet to overheat due the programs running in the background.

I remove soo many apps every time I install a rom, and it kept heating up.
Other samsung device users report the same problem, and they conclude it is the software bug.
Galaxy s2 has a fix for that, but no fix for p5110 :/
I cant put my tab in a protective case because of this problem.Gonna wait for official 4.2(until september), it will probably feature the fix for this problem.
so my galaxy s7 phone did it recently
exactly after one year warranty just expired the phone became painfully slow
it was a brand new phone sent from samsung as a replacement for my broken phone replaced under warranty
had zero problems for a whole year and i mean zero like no issues with speed or freezing at all
never dropped or dipped in the water to test the water resistance
always in a case since day one. no crazy apps. actually same exact apps that i have on all my phones.
no new apps were installed before slowdown
i already deleted some apps. cleaned up app cache individually and reset cache from boot screen
tested in safe mode and still slow
im not sure if the update was installed recently or not but the slowdown happened about 2 months ago. was there a tmobile update at that time?
im not really sure.
but this is the third phone that did this.
galaxy s5 that i also bought brand new for a year was well maintained and had no problems
that phone actually started lagging really bad and shutting down multiple times a week or restarting....
before that galaxy s3 did same thing. after exactly a year it became ridiculously slow for absolutely no reason
i install all the apps i use right out of the box. change all the settings to what i want and dont really make any changes after and it usually very stable for about a year
is there an app that i can use to troubleshoot?
or an app that will show me what component is slowing down the system in real time?
obviously something is slowing down the OS, theres gotta be an app that can trace the faulty app or file or component
i cant be the only one who noticed that
is there really no way to pinpoint what is slowing down the phone?
why do i have to reset everything every time it gets slow
isnt there an app that can diagnose what is loading up the system?
this phone is painfully slow suddenly with no apparent reason
Have you been able to view the CPU activity and the RAM allocation?
I am not sure how to do this, but if possible, it might reveal what is happening.
I would try disabling some of the applications one by one. First suspects would be:
1. Facebook
2. Google Play Store.
3. Youtube.
Disable one, then try the phone. If still the same, disable second and try etc.

How is your device storage. Once you use more then 50% device storage android starts to lag. It's an issue with the OS.
device storage has always been about the same since brand new. which is about 80% on average.
doesnt safe mode disable all non stock apps? i tried safe mode with same result
windows has a resource monitor that helps alot but i dont know if android has any monitoring app that could help troubleshoot this
Samsung devices are known for getting laggy over time, try a different phone next time, in the meantime, do a factory reset and start fresh.

This is very suspect to me, but I am only a beginner.
Given zelendel's post about (re 50%), I would investigate further. Did you note his credentials?
What does all that data consist of?
What is the total storage capacity of the phone?
Perhaps some of that storage capacity is used as "swap" memory? Just guessing...........I am extrapolating Linux terminology here.
about 10-15 gigs of that is music/videos for airplane or when i have no internet. its been there since i got the phone
other things come and go like downloads documents videos images
im surprised theres no apps to troubleshoot the phone lagging when theres so many people having that problem and the best solution is to just reset the phone. which should be the last resort
if resetting the phone works most of the time then there should be an app that could look for conflicts as it runs in the background.

Depending on the amount of storage in your device that could be a lot.
Resetting the device wipes things. You really can't find an issue if the only issue is storage space. So here is a test. Remove stuff from your device. Give yourself a clean start and then go from there. Adding stuff slowly until it slows down.
I have had dozens of devices and the only time they ever got slow was due to getting low on phone storage.
This even encludes a 5 year old Samsung that I have that is as fast as the day I got it. Mind you there is nothing on it but some games for a kid. I even disabled all of Samsungs crap they install that slows a device down.
Could also be stuff acting up in the background
Run a log cat and see if anything is hanging.
cool thanks ill try that
got my internal memory to under 50%
reset cache again
deleted few apps and moved alot of them to SD card and cleared cache for those too
heres exactly whats happening
theres a delay for every action
2 wifi seems to drop in and out now since it got slow
3 facebook and browser wouldnt load anything on wifi
but as soon as i switch to data it works
i have to restart the phone alot now and close all apps multiple times a day to get them to work
also running safe mode had no effect on speed
i dont know when the last update was from tmobile but it might have been due to crappy update im not sure at this point
i got the phone last end of summer and it worked flawlessly every single day up until last 2 months exactly when warranty expired
how does samsung find faulty hardware when i send it in for service?
do they use an app?
ok this is getting ridiculous.
the phone wen to complete ****
facebook doesnt load posts unless i restert it by closing the app
phone just feels very slow overall.
constantly lags hangs. and in general just completely crappy performance slowly degrading.
i dont know why suddenly it started happening just like my last 3 phones
after about a year theres always a sudden decrease in performance and things start bugging and lagging etc
so theres no way to figure out why its slow?
isnt there some hardware tests or system scan or something that can help point to the problem?
Sorry to read that you are still having this problem Fuzzysig.
Did you try any of the suggestions in my post #4 and/or in Zelendel's post #10?
If so, which ones did you try and what resulted from those changes?

Hi, I was a Samsung user too and faced the same problem.
I went through various threads which gave me multiple solutions: rooting, removing bloatware, cpu monitoring and many more.
None of that worked. The phone was so slow that it was not usable.
Ultimately I had to throw it and buy another phone.
Then I noticed this is not just me, all Samsung users face the same problem even the flagship users.
I swear I'll never buy a Samsung phone and never let anyone buy one.
Hey everyone, just got my 4gb ram A51 not to long ago, and I'm definitely having a love hate relationship with the phone so far. I love the overall look, feel, and design of the phone, but its performance is becoming very frustrating to me.
I don't know if anyone else's Galaxy A51 phone is like this, but after I've had my phone on and have been using it long enough, the app animations (app switching, app opening and closing, etc) seem to suddenly become heavily reduced and extremely choppy, which lasts until I do a fresh restart, until it happens all over again. After I've restarted my phone, performance is good and more than acceptable in my experience. Occasionally an app might take a wee long to open, but its absolutely usable. I'm totally happy with my A51's performance before the choppiness seems to suddenly kick in.
So far, I'm on my second factory reset. This time I tried installing very few apps to try and limit the possibility that I might have some rogue app/process in the background ruining things, but this still happened.
Is anyone else having this issue/has had this issue before? I don't think it's a problem with how I'm using my phone. I feel like this could potentially be a firmware issue. I'm still stuck on the December update with the model that I have. If you have the January/February updates have you experienced this issue as well?
Thank you for your help. If I can't get this figured out on my phone I might return it.

Have you tried reducing windows animation in developer settings? Also in accessibility setting you can turn off window transitions effect

I just got the 4gb version and I'm not having those issues apart from when setting up the phone and google play downloading all my apps. Since then it's been fine. As a matter of course I always go into developer options and set window/transition and animator scale to 0.5, regardless of the phone I have and also set background process limit to 3 processes. I also disable certain apps I don't use too.
Try those and see how it works for you.
Hi,
I have been using my Xperia 5 III for a week now. Everything is well but the phone overheats when going about completely normal day to day tasks. Just the use of a slightly more intensive application like Uber heats the phone up.
When this happens, the screen automatically drops to 60Hz. I cannot seem to disable this 'feature'. While charging, needless to say, the phone pretty much stays in 60Hz for the first half of charging time due to overheating.
Is the above normal? I don't seem to see any background updates. I would not mind the overheating if the display would just remain at 120Hz. Will rooting or modding be able to overcome this?
Cheers!
not at my dayly use of the X5 III
just went hot at first day of many installations but after than not anymore.
Found a good solution to the overheating: rooted (Magisk) and used Franco Kernel Manager to disable the big core and a couple of the middle ones, thing still absolutely flies, and now never gets hot.

Wow great! Any side effects on incompatible apps, instability issues or bugs? And did you benchmark before and after?
i don't get it...my X5 III did't even gets warm
what ya doing with the device to get it hot.??

Nothing intensive. Just Uber, Teamviewer and Google Maps. Surprisingly, games do not get the phone hot. I have tried both the German and Hong Kong Xperia 5 IIIs. Same for both.

Sounds like typical Sony's quality control issue to me.
right right
trying to root my device since yesterday....restarted many times flashing FW switching from Fastboot to Flashmode back and force and my phone did't even gets worm

Can say the same. Many reboots, fastboot, flashmode and back and my Phone is "cold".
Had never a Problem with hot or warm device
And still, having to root and disable a core or something isn't a solution I'm content with. Especially because the 5 II didn't have those problems. I understand they do this to preserve the battery but honestly it didn't really matter with my old phone and I used it a lot when it was hot.
I recently upgraded my 5 II to a 5 III and although I still don't wanna believe it, it's getting pretty obvious that the phone throttles the FPS from 120 to 60 Hz. The Xperia 5 II only did this sometimes when you were charging and gaming simulatenously.
However with the 5 III it sometimes tends to throttle just when you are surfing through the net or using some apps. During gaming without charging it also throttles often.
mine got super hot in like 5 min of instagram or youtube vids. It also tends to get hot and throttle a bit on music playback, i'm starting to assume that is not normal
I haven't noticed any of those with my 5III. It has behaved like my 5II for the last 6 months. Only issue I've had with heat is if I'm shooting a lot of 4k video with the CinePro app in the direct sunlight in the Texas summer.
Only gets hot when streaming.
Besides that, Ive never seen the hot temps message pop up.
