[Q] Does the Nexus 5 CPU throttle down while charging?

Been experiencing slight lagging when running some light to medium intensive apps, like Flipboard, Newsstand or PvZ 2. Is it due to the Snapdragon throttling down to prevent temperature spike? Anyone ezperiencing this?

It throttles down when "hot"

Charging the battery causes the phone to heat up. The more the phone is doing during that time the hotter it will get (above average usage) and more likely for CPU throttling to occur.
Try disabling as many background apps and processes as you can to reduce the phone's current draw while charging. You can also have it charge faster and cooler in Airplane mode but of course many apps would not be usable then.

[Completed] [Q] Galaxy Nexus toro overclocking cant go over 1.0+

I have a galaxy nexus toro I first used setcpu a week ago my cpu was set on 1222Mhz
I overclocked it to at least 1724Mhz everything was going smoothly until my phone shut off with no sign.
Now I have to boot my phone with a charger Because it cant without it.
So when it boot I took it off my charger My cpu was at 1222Mhz and it cuts off again.
So I tested it I cant go over 1000Mhz without a charger.
I keep the cpu on 537Mhz to keep it on without the charger needed.
So is this fixable or is my battery not giving enough voltage to my phone (do I have to buy a new battery)?

Performance Question.

I game a lot on my phone. Anyone know if I will get better gaming performance having MSM MPDecision Hotplug and Temperature Throttle off? Will it be safe?

I don't know about hotplug but if you like gaming then disabling Temperature Throttle would probably result in harming the device after continued use, it is designed to reduce the power drawn by the processor, without that it can overheat.

A6 2018 vs J7 2017 wich one should i chose for battery ?

Hello guys, I need some help from you to choose a model betwen the 2.
I did own a J5 2017 wich was a great phone for me, battery last 2-3 days with regular use wifi/data all the time, i use the phone for work, i am not intersted in playing games with it, or watch videos.
I bought an S8 and i can't even get 1 day (4h sot)of use with all the tricks and battery save tips, i do same things like on J5.
Wich 1 should i choose ? I am worried of A6 have same oreo like the S8 and eats battery.I looked on many sites about battery performance but they have different benchmarks.The only things i like on A6 is the display and the missing home button.I didn't find any info of A6 sot....

Samsung A6 2018 has "Non-removable Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery".
Samsung J7 2017 has "Non-removable Li-Ion 3600 mAh battery"... (Talk time - Up to 24 h (3G) and Music play - Up to 91 h)
I think J7 has a good battery backup as comparable to A6...

Redmi Note 4 MTK Nikel Hot and auto reboot after Change thermal to 120deg C

Hello xda. i need your help.
as you all know that the redmi note 4 mediatek version is lagging alot when you play even only mid game processing aplication. when i play games for like 5 minute it starts lagging allready. what i know is that when this device temperature gets 45 degrees, the CPU hotplug will lower the CPU frequency or turn off the other CPU cluster to prevent the device gets overheating and drains too much battery. but this will cost out our gaming performance and cause lagging issue.
so i've modified the thermal policy to bypass the CPU hotpug to get maximum performance out of this device but it only last for 10 minutes and it auto reboots when it gets overheating, but i dont care if this device gets hot because it is common for a mediatek chipset
You can do it by editing the build.prop and change the line ro.build.type=user to ro.build.type=eng and then go to mtk engineering mode and change the thermal policy setting.
for me this device is like not capable of doing anything more than being just like an old device except for whatsapp and other social media. it's like the device has a powerfull processor but only for decoration.
The only problem now is that the device will auto reboot everytime it gets overheating and needs to cool down in order to be used again. and my only question is how to prevent the the device auto reboot when we use the 120deg C thermal ?.
