With pubg mobile and fortnite being released, I've found myself gaming more on the device than I thought. It gets fairly hot and to my understanding it doesn't have the GPU performance of a Galaxy 8, 9 or Razer phone. I still hit a pretty good frame rate most of the time and I have no idea if there's thermal throttling happening.
More of a "what if" than a serious inquiree.
Use an app to monitor temperatures?

im thinking of buying this or note 4 i have an s5 right now. does rooting debloat and fixing the thermal settings fix the lag and overheating?or is there anything else that will. im a heavy user play switch in between games alot and depend on a decent battery life and dont like lag.
Basically same question here, except i already bought it.
By the way, i got it rooted.
I just got my Flex 2 and after debloating and tuning the thermal configuration I'm really enjoying it! Performs great.

Debloat and thermal settings has turned my phone into a powerhouse. On an average day, I see no more battery drain on the Flex 2 than I did on the original Flex (with a bigger battery and a smaller number of cores). However, if you're heavily into gaming, the GPU will certainly be enough, but for 3D intensive games the battery drains rather quickly (as expected, really).
I have compiled a list of everything I've removed for debloating here.
So no issues with overheating? I switch between games like madden , clash of clans, boom beach, magic rampage, and outwitters constantly so I was worried about the heating issue for a heavy user such as myself

The thermal throttling settings are still enabled, just set to a higher temperature. I have mine set to 65°C (as per the thermal throttling thread), and I know processors can get much hotter than that without failing (Apparently the HTC flagship cores get up to 80°C, don't while me on this, it's just a passive memory).
Hey everyone,
I recently moved from an ROG Phone 2 to a OP7 Pro. While I like the phone for the most part, game performance is atrocious.
Especially in Archero. This is a game that would run at an almost flawless 60fps on the ROG Phone 2 but seems to drop to the ~20-30fps area on the OP7 Pro in CPU intensive sections.
Is there a way to set the clock speed to be locked higher rather than having it fluctuate dynamically?
First, if you play games on your phone why would you switch from ROG 2 to OP7P? If the former is literally a phone built for gaming lol. So, yeah.
To achieve what you are asking to do you need root and a custom kernel (I suggest SmurfKernel in your case). Then use a kernel manager to change the governor to one aimed at performance and change the min cpu frequencies to your liking.
I think it's only optimized to run at 60fps on certain phones. I tested this game on a Galaxy s9+ & OP7P and I get 30fps on both
I'm afraid if my phone is not enough to run heavy applications like Pubg because I faced lots of trouble while playing and running it. I noticed the phone heated during it. You can check my phone specs. It's Huawei Y9s 2019 model.
kirin 710f SoC is decent also battle royale games such as pubg are really cpu intensive sovexpect phone overheating but if i were you i would go atleast snapdragon 870

Your phone flawlessly can run heavy 3D HD games such as PUBG Mobile.
With regards to phone's high temperature: It's completely normal.
The high temperature is not caused by the CPU itself. Games generally do not put pressure on CPU, but on the GPU. The GPU usage for the 3D HD games are generally very high, and can cause such temperature increase. So yes, that kind of 'GPU' temperature is normal while gaming.
Hello everyone.
I bought Xperia 5 III about 3 days ago. While playing PUBG Mobile or other games, the device reduces the refresh rate to 60hz even though it hardly gets hot. Is there a setting we can do to prevent this? For example, when you delete the software called Battery & Performance on MIUI devices, such problems did not occur.
I don't really play games but I noticed the overall UI seems smoother with high refresh rate off. Scrolling long feeds even YouTube is stuttering.once it's on 60hz everything is smooth. Can't explain it.

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.

That's the second time I read about 60 Hz feeling smoother but for me it's just so much worse.

This could be an issue that will be fixed soon. Other than that, one of the best things to do if you're a gamer like me is to get a very good cooler.

Actually, this is a case of eye habit. If you used a device or monitor with a refresh rate above 60Hz before, when you use 60Hz again after a long time, it seems like it lags etc. But since you haven't used a panel above 60Hz so far, 60Hz seems very different to you.

It's because the 5mk3's Snapdragon 888 generates far more heat than the 5mk2's Snapdragon 865.
The Tensor G2 processor on the pixel 7 series has poor energy efficiency, which will cause the phone to heat up easily.
Therefore, I decided to limit the CPU clock frequency of the Tensor G2. By adjusting the overheating threshold, the CPU clock frequency limit can be achieved. Keep your Pixel 7 Pro super cool, not hot at all, and with longer battery life.
I made a Magisk module for your input, if you are also troubled by the heat of Pixel 7 Pro, then you can try this module.
Here is the download link.

My Pixel 7 Pro is already cool. Never ever even mildly warm. But i dont play games
With the case on, when charging it reaches 40 degrees. But otherwise it's... Ok I guess?
Summer is coming and he's going to be hot, using a Pixel in China.

Thank you!!!
Great, I had to test this. I have the Battery Guru, and I have set the temperature to 30 but it always prompts, even when I am using it for minimal work. Can you share some performance benchmarks, either with Battery Guru or Better Battery Stats? and the source on github?
Great i want to test
Not trying to be negative as I like this idea!
'The Tensor G2 processor on the pixel 7 series has poor energy efficiency'
Do you have data to proof that or are you guessing?
'which will cause the phone to heat up easily'
I have not really noticed that. in fact my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra gets much warmer than the p7p.
Curious what the actual performance gain and heat reduction will be (in numbers).

Data to prove that the efficiency of G2 is poor? Sure, sir.
This shows Tensor G1, and Tensor G2 introduced an additional X1 core (2x X1 cores) and didn't improve the efficiency much apart from being slightly more efficient since it's based on 4nm.
So, long story short, G2 is somewhere between Exynos 2100 and 888 when it comes to efficiency and neither of these two mentioned is really efficient.
Pixel 4's SD855 is more efficient than both Pixel 6 and 7. lol
There is plenty of power measurement data and how the SOC behaves under load, feel free to research.

mind posting the correction of values? at what temp it starts to throttle? is something else tweaked as well? im too lazy to look at the code myself lol
Whose using this? What are you seeing in terms of battery life gain and is the phone stuttering and stalling during usage?

Installed it several days ago. Noticed that charging fell to a crawl, to the point I thought my charger or cable was bad. Uninstalled immediately.

No lag, stuttering or freezing. No issues with charging. Temperature stays lower than normally, for example while using chrome or other browser temperature used to spike up to 60-65° within few minutes but now it's down to 50-55°. I didn't notice any change in battery life.

I'm also curious to know what performance gains or battery efficiencies Pixel phones have with their 'clean' software.

@fenibook , can you add any conditions to the module so it's inactive when the phone is charging either reorh cable or wirelessly?
For me camera works fine. Also, installed again on QPR3 and charging seems ok.

Yes my bad.. It was the one plus hide navigation bar module I used.. It was the only one that worked fine with android 13.. Does anyone know a proper one to hide that pill bar?!

AOSPmods, works fine for that. Some of the stuff is incompatible with 13 QPR3, but hiding the pill works fine.
