So we've all known that this overheating is caused by CPU. I tried this overclocking widget, setup maximum cpu frequency as 800MHZ and minimum 500MHZ and tried playing games again. battleheart 30 mins and didn't get heat up any more. besides the power draining problem seemed to be less noticeable.
I read the CPU is an overclocked 1ghz which would explain the high heat when playing games. I personally have mine clocked at 800mhz using SetCPU at all times and it no longer gets very hot.
will give this a go...fed up of burnt fingers lol
come back to report. just now played around 1 hour game, battleheart, with max cpu set 800MHZ, power went down from 65% to 41%, not too bad. guess I can play games at least 4 hours. most important thing is never feel the heat again.

How far have people got with over clocking their Visions?
Mines over clocked at 1GHz, i don't think id be increasing it any time soon think it would ruin my battery life
How far have all you all got to? Stable of course
That I know, we're at 1.8ghz so far. I keep mine at 806mhz all day since I barely use it throughout the day. Once I get home, I clock it up to 1.5ghz when I'm using it.
I've ran it once at 1.8ghz running a couple of benchmarks (linpack, neocore, quadrant)
It did very well, but, ran very hot (could be due to the fact I had it connected to the charger at the same time)
Either case, how much you get out of your battery depends on how you use it, how you set up your cpu profiles (dependant on which you use. I.e. cpu tuner, setcpu), and what frequency you're constantly letting your phone run on.
I run mine at 1.5ghz, see no need to push it further. Im getting all the performance I need at 1.5ghz. I use setcpu profiles, one to severely underclock when it reaches a certain temp and a charging profile that runs at stock clock to reduce heat when charging.
1.3ghz. Not like i feel it however. But 1.4ghz one they have posted wasnt 100% stable for me.
Was wondering if anyone might of experienced it (although it's kind of hard to tell if it's even happening).
I noticed earlier I was playing a game that my tablet was pretty warm, and then I immediately went to Rom Toolbox. My governor was set at Performance, and both sliders at 1.7GHz, but I noticed the clock speed going down in increments of 100MHz (1.7GHz to 1.6GHz to 1.5GHz to 1.4GHz) and then back up to max, and it did this a few times and then finally stuck at 1.7GHz, when the tablet was a little bit cooler (I think).
While running StabilityTest (the CPU+GPU Stability Test on Full Details), clock speeds are constantly changing between 1400MHz, 1500MHz, 1600MHz, and 1700MHz with the Performance governor in-use. The top-left of the tablet is also noticeably warm.
Edit: It drops to 1300MHz and even 1200MHz at times too as the test goes on. Might drop lower depending on how long it's ran.
Very interesting, that would explain some of the slowdowns I am seeing whilst playing Asphalt 7.
Please note that the Stability Test is not a "CPU Burner" test, it does other things as well (checking the RAM, testing the GPU, etc.). So it's to be expected that it doesn't run at full speed all the time.
I've done some intense gaming on mine, and while it does get a little warm in a small spot on the upper left side, it's nothing abnormal. Now if you want warm, try the Acer A700, that guy gets hot on the back due to a poor heat spreading solution.
I am getting bothered by the heat of my nexus 4 especially at the camera side..., when I play psx emulator it really gets hot and it gets hotter when it is charging... even if i am only watching or streaming the internet it gets noticeably hot, so i would like to know if this is ok or not.
what are apps that could monitor the temperature?
what is the normal temperature when gaming and idle?
I would like to know about this things so that if my unit is a lemon, i could return it to lg for the warranty.
thanks in advance.

you have a quad core device, its normal. when you stress the cpu, gaming, streaming, itll heat up. when you charge, your battery will heat up. the back o the phone is glass, so itll feel like it gets hot fast. when the device hits a certain cpu temperature, heat throttling kicks in. this will lower your cpu speed and cool down your device. when it goes over the cpu safety temperature(100C i believe), the cpu will shut down and the phone will power off. there are several apps that show the cpu and battery temperature. remember, battery temperature and cpu temperature are two completely different temperature readings.
System tuner gives you cpu temp. But you should get an app that tells you battery temp as well...

simms22 is right you can under clock it safely kernel tuner is free on play
Intel CPUs (i5, i7, etc.) can survive going over 100 degree Celsius, but the commonly quoted safe temperature limit for long term operation is 70 degree Celsius. I would assume that the same holds true for other silicon chips, and find it difficult to believe that the shut off temperature for the Nexus 4 is 100 degree Celsius - you will be getting serious burns on your fingers by then.
Wait..., I recently played a 3d game and my temperature is reaching
CPU: 67c
Battery: 50c
Is my phone a lemon or its a normal case scenario?
Hi all,
For "hardcore user" there is a thread with a solution to limit the heating :

Is this temperature normal??
That is a little worrying. Are you using a case? Also what is the room temperature where you were using the phone?

sorry for the late reply I thought no ones going to reply with my post, the room temperature is 31c. and I dont use a case
As we all know, the Snapdragon 810 processor in our OnePlus 2 phones is prone to overheat, especially during heavy tasks such as gaming. With the stock kernel (which probably most of you are using) this leads to the A57 cores being partially or fully shut down and the display - which generates additional heat - being dimmed in order for the phone to keep a healthy temperature (healthy for both its components and the hands that are holding it.) This, in turn, leads to lag when playing especially demanding games. Which in turn leads to a frustrated user.
With root access, it's possible to use custom kernels and/or custom thermal throttling profiles in order to (at least partially) circumvent these issues, by throttling the CPU frequency and/or limiting the number of active cores, using different schedulers and governors, and by applying thermal profiles that allow the phone to get hotter (in order to keep higher CPU frequencies for a longer duration).
Since I bought the OPT, I was playing a very power hungry game - Republique - which, at its highest graphics quality setting, pushes the phone to its limits. I quickly switched from the stock kernel to the Boeffla kernel and started experimenting with schedulers, governors, hotplugging settings, CPU/GPU frequencies and thermal profiles, but nothing I have done so far makes it possible to play the game for more than 15-20 minutes before some kind of throttling / heat control sets in and the game starts lagging.
I tried limiting both CPU clusters to only 2 cores while maintaining higher frequencies, I tried throttling the frequencies and keeping all 8 cores active, and I tried all kinds of solutions in-between with anything from 4-8 cores active and frequencies anywhere between 60% and 100%. I also tried the various thermal profiles that the kernel offers. But whatever I did, the game was either lagging right from the start, or running smoothly for about 15 minutes before the screen was dimmed and the CPU was throttled, leading to a laggy experience.
So my question is, what do you guys do to keep the OnePlus 2 from overheating during gaming, while at the same time maintaining a lag-free experience? I don't seem to get anywhere with anything I try, so I'd be extremely grateful for some useful input.

All the phones throttle while gaming. I use thermal extreme with boeffla kernel. And use 2 a53 at 1,3ghz and 2-4 a57 at 1,4ghz and I modified the throttle file and it underclock to 1,2ghz when it gets hot but it doesn't happen if you don't play longer than 30minutes and it doesn't lag either. You can leave stock settings but if course it will get hot quicker. Also with thermal hotplugged or something like that, I used it all cores online all the time at full speed and it doesn't throttle for a long time, so I don't know what overheating are you talking about. My nexus 5 throttle faster and disable 2 of 4 cores and leave the other 2 at half speed, and our processor overheats?. Oneplus throttle the device a lot because of the rumors, fortunately we can change that. Try what I said, cheers.

Thanks for the tip with thermal extreme! The implementation in the latest Boeffla kernel v1.1 beta1 seem to do a very good job of not letting the phone get too hot while at the same time not throttling the CPU too much. Today, the performance was stable for almost 30 minutes of gaming, and when I checked the CPU stats I saw that all cores were still active (2x A53 + 4x A57), and only throttled to 960 MHz. This still delivered enough performance. (I started the game with both CPU clusters at 1.2 GHz, so this also seemed to help with keeping the phone at an acceptable temperature. I'm sure it would've gotten much hotter much quicker at higher CPU frequencies.)
I have to admit though, I was playing inside in an unlit room and thus the screen wasn't at max. brightness. We'll see how it will perform during my next work break when I have to make the screen much brighter.

Does it throttle to 960mhz? for me never reach 1,2ghz. Playing real Racing for 30min it stays at 1,2ghz. And with thermal hotplugged (all cores enabled, all at stock freq gpu too) it doesnt throttle for 30 min, gpu only sometimes to 510mhz, i played 30 minutes and it didnt throttle, i dont know when it was going to throttle because i stop playing. But also, gaming with all cores and no throttling eats the battery.

I guess it throttled to 960 MHz because the game I'm currently playing (République) is pretty resource hungry.
NO LAG, CHOPPINES. PLAYING FOR FEW DAYS. APPLICABLE TO ALL SNAPDRAGON 810 DEVICES!
Update: Connect to charger if it lags. I've getting screen unresponsiveness after playing a few days without charging. Connecting to charger those lags are gone. Always try to play with mics and speakers off in game. Always cool your phone. It will feel burning otherwise.
Hi. I've seen lots of videos on YouTube, PUBG doesn't run properly and lags a lot on our device. Also its same on other snapdragon 810 devices. But its a high end chipset why should it lag? PUBG lags because of its throttling. But without throttling then burning heat.
Now do these:
I'm not responsible if anything bad happens.
1. Keep backup and delete thermal-config file, reboot.
2. Lower your CPU and GPU frequencies according to your game quality settings. Example: For Smooth and Medium FPS, set CPU to- big:960/633, little:1478mhz. or lower. GPU settings- 450/390 MHz. Check your settings and frequencies by yourself while playing.
You can disable CPU input boost if you feel.
3. Run A.C or Fan in your house, or play in much lower temperature.
4. Now run the game.
It won't lag, hang, and will run stable. But the device heats much. I tried even on HD at Ultra fps(GPU frequency didn't lower), the game ran perfectly and smoothly. though I lowered the CPU frequencies.
For HD and Ultra FPS:
1. CPU- big:1248(I tried and think enough, you may increase or decrease), little:1478.
2. GPU- I didn't lower GPU frequencies, it was running at 650, you may try 510 MHz.
3. Keep in mind to play in much lower temperature. Device will heat a lot. But won't lag a bit.
You can try. I'll update this thread sometimes.
Note: Always remind to paste thermal-config file in same directory and reboot, when you need. Also battery will drain faster in these. I tested it drains upto 27 percent per hour with throttled, and 29/30 percent without throttled on Smooth and Medium FPS with those settings.
*8*updated tested frequencies.
