Nexus 4 running over 100oC safe?? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was messing arround with overclocking and undervolting. after f*****g up my app data with a "bad" undervolt I had a look at overclocking and I get over 100oC and still rising running at 1.7GHz is this normal? I have a fast binned chip

Also getting over 80oC on stock!

Well the bar only goes up to 100
What does that tell you.
Bring down your oc dude.
The CPU safety threshold is 110.
Meaning if it gets to 110 your phone will shut itself down to prevent damage

Thats all I wanted to know ... But 80+oC is insane for stock!
After undervolting its 75-78oC but that 3x more than my gaming PC!!! (And 2x the GPU temp)

Well what are you doing to cause this heat. On both screenshots you are showing Max load. Max CPU freq at quad core. Of course your CPU is going to be overheating.

I'd prefer it if my phone was fatter with a heat sink........

if you wanna go mental with O/C, you should go for watercooling or liquid N2

haha, although I did apply thermal compound to my galaxy 5 and it was a lot cooler (it has a metal thing that is conveniently over the CPU

While gaming (or what ever you are doing to get it that high) have someone stand behind the phone with an upside down can of compressed air blowing on the back of the phone. This should help.

Overclock

If anyone out there has overclocked there phone, does it still run well after a few months etc.
I plan on rooting and overclocking to 1.5ghz (on demand) and just want to know if it will wreck the phone after months of use. I am aware overclocking is not recommended for long periods but just want to see if people have had hardware issues after prolonged overclocking..
Thanks in advance

Its not the clockspeed you need to worry about. It's voltages that can damage the H/W.

So using SetCPU to 1.5GHz changes the voltage?

Well the higher the clockspeed the higher the voltage. Kernels like doomlords allow you to undervolt though. Keep in mind if you reduce voltage too much though, device will become unstable and reboot alot
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Im currently running at 1.5GHz and have IncrediControl running undervolt at 1200 (tested for few hours seems OK so far)
Does this mean I am correctly undervolted and are these settings ok for battery life/temp etc

If it has been running well so far, I don't think you need to worry.
Just wanted to make sure undervolting doesnt cause damage to the cpu and battery

Undervolting wont damage the CPU. As long as it's stable, the less voltage the better

I don't think he's talking about cpu voltages, none are that high.
What are you talking about op, clarification please.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
He's talking about battery voltages, which are normal on a charged phone without load.
On android assitant is reading on battery 4150 -4250 mv. my temps r normal. has going down 3700-3850 mv.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
im getting around 4328 mv with full charge. may be you can go a bit higher.
wot temps do u get on charge im getting up to 46 on charge. thats with the offical charger.

Is 70 degrees to hot for an N7?

Is it?

TricksterMod always shows that even after gaming for 30 mins or so CPU temperature does not go beyond 60'c
Stock kernel or rooted??

I personally have not seen the temperature hitting 70 till date..i have been using it since last december...
Any specific game in particular???
Have you tried the lean kernel??
Any ZRam tweaks??
After playing does the temperature stay around 70 or it drops??
Cheers
Grouper
Vanir
I never used tweaks or the lean kernel and games like mc4 and dead trigger make it get to 70 degrees or even 72 or 73 but when in watch YouTube it doesnt. Do you know any good Oc settings?

I personally prefer the lean kernel and OC at 1500 and change the Read Ahead buffer size to 1667 .... Min at 102000 interactive governor even running benchmarks using Antutu and quadrant temp does not go beyond early 60
I do play a few racing games but not the ones you mentioned but have not seen it go beyond 60'c

5529 is decent with this kernel.
How about the battery temperature???
What is the total up time for your grouper?
While holding the nexus do you feel the back rubber getting hot??
I did notice it at times but after flashing to lean kernel it was no longer there..

Not a big fan of OC myself. That range is definitely what i see on my grouper too.
Just wondering any changes under developer options with regards to GPU force rendering??

I normally switch that on for playing asphalt or EA racing and while flashing ROMs and checking benchmarks (more of a placebo than anything else )
While browsing or tweeting i switch it off

best rom/settings for gaming

Now before I catch heat for asking which ROM is best I don't want any developer on here to think I'm against their work.
Now, I'm trying to find the quickest ROM on here for gaming. I'm using the ktmana kernel and I know that speed comes from that but I've read that using the PA ROM actually hurts gaming performance. So I'm trying to figure out which ROM and kernal settings are best for gaming like nfs

I've found CM10.2 and Flaming Monkey to get great framerates in NFS, RR3, and Asphalt 8 with KTManta, 1300MHz CPU, and overclocked GPU.
PAC, Rootbox, and PA all didn't do too well. I may try Vanir shortly.
I use rasbeanjelly or purity with trinity for performance. Highest fps for me personally
