Mortal Kombat X causing a lot of heat!

Does anyone play Mortal Kombat X on their OPO?
If so, does your device get very hot playing the game?
For me, back on Kitkat, the phone got pretty warm after about 10-15 mins of playing, it wasn't too bad. Now I'm on lollipop, after 10 mins of play, the phone was very hot, especially around the camera. (think that is where the CPU/GPU chipset is located) It was so hot I closed the game and turned off the phone for a few mins to cool down. I was scared I was going to fry my phone!
Anyone else having similar experiences with this game? Other games don't really heat the phone up, but MK does have very decent graphics!

More intense apps/games will obviously increase heat output. Though nowadays mobile chipsets much like desktop or laptop chipsets have thermal trips and controls that will throttle the component that is overheating. So I wouldn't actually worry too much about the possibility of frying your phone. (Unless you disabled the thermal trip on a kernel level)
Yeah, a game like MKX does a lot of CPU and GPU work and when you add the display, the device gets warm. It's nothing to worry over.
Buy game console mate..
Confirmed with the same game and any other resource-expensive game. After 10/15 minutes the logcat gets spammed with temperature warnings (over 80 °C) and reboots to prevent damage.
I play the **** out of it, and yes after 20mins or so, it's pretty hot.

to reduce heating u must sacrifice ur little performance
flash a custom kernel
open kernel app n underclock ur cpu to 1.5ghz (dont go beyond it <1497mhz>) and keep ur gpu frequency to max @330 mhz (i would suggest keep it to 200mhz).
optionals
1. also do reduce cpu voltage atleast -30mV.
2. change the governer to silm or zzmove or any thing u like but not performance.
device get warm but doesnt goes to extreme heating .... little lags and glitches can be seen but its acceptable.
love playing in oneplus one )
happy gamming ...
Well I'm glad I'm not alone in experiencing this. I guess ill just have to play in short bursts. I also play Marvel Contest of Champions and that is another 3D fighter but my phone can play that for half an hour without much heat up, MKX has much better graphics so it gets my phone toasty very quickly.
My device is very hot too and killing battery. When i play mk x i disable 2 cores from snayps.. It doesn't effect performance.

Just install ak put cpu speed to 1.3ghz max undervolt to 140 max for pvs 7(it may reboot at first but it will get stable for gaming with no heat) use build.prop and init.d tweak to keep it your One fast.
I play MKX and godfire with this settings with no lag at all.

I moved to the CM12.1 by SultanXDA and on his rom, the phone is underclocked to 2ghz and I've noticed the phone doesn't get as hot while playing games now which is great. Another added bonus of using that ROM, its very good!
I hear ya bro
Yes the device does get warm to hot depending upon your environment.
I have noticed that while playing the game in public(non-ac), it does get pretty heated.. whereas when you do play in an ac room or a room with adequate cool air circulation using fans, it doesnt heat up so much.
Also, the internet(cellular/wifi) being on plays a huge impact on if the device heats up or not.
Moreover, I noticed that it heats up more for graphically demanding games like MKX,NOVA3 and Modern Combat 5 and not so much while playing less demanding games like Golf Star,Asphalt,etc even though all these games are typical heavy games.
Like suggested by many above, try underclocking(powersaver mode) and undervolting. It works for me to some extent.
Had the same issue of lot of heat and huge battery drain, but kept playing for hours and then I gave up on it, because I love OPO's battery life and I don't want to ruin it
Yes... very hot

AOD for s6

Few days back i was using linage rom on my note 3 n900. AOD was working flawless . Battery time wss super good.
AOD SCREEN was not continuous. It was like breathing on amd off in r second intervals.
It showed notifications too.
My question is. Can vmwe get such AOD working on S6 with efficiency of battery?
This app seems to be doing a fine job: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doflamingo.alwaysondisplay.amoled
Battery consumption is less severe than other similar apps!

We talk about Always On Display, the original one.
The S7 APK is working on some ROMs with a kernel adjustement.
I think we'll be able to get a fine battery life, we just need to wait someone port the AOD kernel module to the stock kernel. The stock ROM (when finely optimized) is less battery eater than other custom ROMs)

Oh, don't worry then. It's a trick you can do through ADB. But then I don't see any reason why your phone would be lagging, my XZ Premium runs Bubble Witch Saga 3 just fine without any lags. Does your phone become hot whenever you try to play them? It might be worth clearing the cache of the Lagg apps.

It's not hot , so should I put in 4k? (it will drain more energy ?)
What I've attempt so far :
-Contact game support to ask
-clear cache
-uninstall & install still lagging

You could try to clear the phone's cache under the storage tab in settings. Forcing it to 4k would probably just cause more issues and lag as it would have to render more pixels. It also drains more energy. If you watch a 4k video it automatically switches to 4k mode, so I'd leave it. You could go into developer settings and check gpu and cpu usage to see how much they are being used, which might give you an idea where the problem lies.
Do you happen to have stamina modus on? That will make anything laggy to save your battery for days.
Settings - Battery - Stamina mode

I do believe I turned most of stamina option , there is only one left (the one that tell you when your battery going to be over)
might be best to not used stamina mode during gaming session since stanina mode decreased phone performance used only when critical hours like 20% or less to prolong phones usage. here check out erica griffin s8 gpu performance though its s8 review but she did compare xz premium gou performance with riptide game and it really is a great performance. heres the youtube title sorry really dont know to used youtube link lol "S8 & S8+ Review Part 2 || Performance After 2 Months [All You Need to Know]" erica griffin

I checked , everything I found about Stamina is turned off , maybe I have to wait an update since the only game that actually do lag is those saga game (I have to wait 1 to 5 sec to be able to move the arrow to aim)

Pubg Mobile gaming performance

Is anyone having choppy gameplay on the OnePlus 6 while playing Pubg?
I have kept the settings on default, HD and high frame rate
What graphic setting are you guys using ?
I use an iPhone X for my job and Pubg is smoother on it even at higher setting
If any one has any suggestions to improve performance I would really appreciate it
Performance is best on OP6 but there's some heating.

I did , I think it all does is disable network connections for other apps while playing
Going smooth here.. Mid graphics +max frame rate..
On hdr+max fps - it's just as good but, I wanted to conserve some battery..
Some website did a review, it's hitting 30fps 99% of the time
Waiting for update with 60fps support .. Don't know about iPhone
Edit - review is from xda ?
Pubg runs perfect on HDR+Ultra fps, although I prefer playing at smooth graphics+extreme fps (60fps). Buttery smooth gameplay, although for every 30 minute game played, the phone loses 15% battery
Just tried the game after reading this thread. Goodness this game runs smooth on highest settings possible. played a few matches this morning. Not one hiccup.
Previous experience with note 8, Nexus 6p, essential phone and mate 9. Better than all. We
Yeah just tried it for the first time too. Runs great, came in top 3 with around 10 kills first try, think I might retire and leave my PUBG career on a high
I haven't had any issues and I put mine on Max at full screen mode. Plays really well.

Ping on op6
Hi,
I have played ping on op6 over 10-15 30 min sections.. under different conditions like HD, ultra fps to smooth with ultra fps.. no performance issues... Heating is nominal just like any other phone.. not significantly alarming or something....
Only once I got choppy frame rate and that too for a couple of seconds.
Everything else is fine..
Btw I use 8gb ram model.

Best and most stable modern ROM with features working?

My ROM is causing my phone to be way too buggy so I need to reflash. The question, with 10 out, what ROM should I get?
Im currently on 7.1.2 so I want to go beyond that
I understand the outdated "test and see which is best" XDA mentality but my phone is for my job and I work all day so I can't be with a buggy phone and be testing, wiping, etc. every day/hours; I need a working phone and stable features. Switching phones is something on the table but honestly, there isnt a phone for me: S10+ gets its warrant voided if flashed and the Oneplus 7 Pro is missing a 3.5mm plus has no water rating. I really like the F(x)tec Pro1 but I need some more information before I jump the gun on a unknown maker.
Things I need is
* Bluetooth hands free MUST work.
* GPS must work
* Camera and its flashlight must work
* Data (4G/WiFi) must work
* I need battery life to maintain a stable level; I can't be carrying powerbanks or stuff like that.
* Responsive; The phone is showing its age but it must be able to keep doing simple tasks as fluid as it can
* Bluetooth hands free MUST work. (Yes, its that important)
What do you recommend?
Thanks
have you already tried LineageOs 16? It is very responsive and I have not encountered any major bug: This is why i am using it as my daily driver.
But I have no idea if Bluetooth hands free works to be honest, because I have no way to test it out.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/rom-lineageos-16-0-oneplus-one-t3906214
For battery life and responsiveness, I would keep sultan's 7.1.
Right now I'm using Tugapower (Android 9). Pretty stable and everything you mentioned works just fine. There's a random reboot occasionally, but it might be some APP (it's very rare so I didn't mind to track). Also, battery life isn't as good as sultan's 7.1, but my battery is already 5 years old and accubattery estimate it to be at 2300mah (74%).

I cant play around with battery life being upstable or unsure.
You will get huge screen off batery drain in 9.0 roms. I tried everything and no success. I am using sultanxda 7.1, lightning kernel new 57 and magisk. Magisk Modules are FDE.AI and dns switcher (keweon dns). I get 4 hour SOT in wifi and 3 in mobile data. Batery effectively around 70%. Performance its pretty good.
I use bluetooth headset to make calls since my mic is broken and i had bo problems.
