lag when playing "Contre Jour"

Hello,
has someone else performance Problems when playing "Contre Jour"?
After 5-10 Minutes it begins to lag.

Yup...

Me too. Maybe it isn't updated to work well on 4.2

Hi, thanks for the answers. I was a little disappointed with the gaming perfomance, hope it gets better in the future.

When it occurs after 5-10 minutes, its likely to be caused by the thermal throttling.

Yes, but it happens in other games not so strongly .
And this game should not need so much power.

Nexus 4 4.3 not charging when overheated

As the title says. It stops charging.
If I press *#*#4636#*#* it shows ac connected but not charging.
This started on 4.3. Never saw this on 4.2.2

It's probably a safety net feature. To avoid complete meltdown. Charging heats up the phone too.

Yes it might be but it is really weird cause when it stops charging, it doesn't resume once the phone has cooled down. You have to unplug and replug.
Which isn't very helpful.
Btw totally stock.

That's happened to me when play in summer and just use the fan. Checking the cpu temp shouldn't clock past 50 degrees or it gets pretty bad. I usually just place it in the fan, then on the air conditioner for a minute or two and usually keep the cpu status app open to watch the drop in temperature. Atleast Nexus keeps this safety throttle, S4 would probably give you a nice bacon house.

I think is not CUP related but battery related. I am trying to upload 2 pics but for some reason upload is not working.

Well if the cpu heats up so will the battery both are working hand in hand. It's like your engine is hot and so will your spark plug be. For the safety of the parts and since lithium ion batteries are dangerous when overheated, it's a safety net.

Haha. Thanks I am Greek not Russian
The two screenshots just show how the one in the higher temp is still charging and a few minutes later it stopped and the other one with the low temp says that battery is overheated, AC connected but not charging.
The guru app I think it helps a bit as about 5%, but no more than that.

Make sure there is no rough app holds the cpu continously. May be files are being indexed. If you have external sdcard take backup of the content, format and the transfer only what is required.

Nope. Hottest mine got for me was when running the 3DMark benchmark. In regular use it stays cool.

Gets warm after couple hours of use, but very very very little, I kinda have to look for it to touch it, a little below the camera can barely sense it.

For me, It doesn't get hot at all during normal use (browsing, downloading, chat apps etc)
However, it gets really warm durinng gaming and benchmark testing near the camera.
Mine is the Exynos one though

I bought Note 3 a week back and having the same heating problem near the camera.....when I play Can Knockdown or candy crush (I am sure they are not high end games) ...I cancelled my plan to download Asphalt.
Did you get any resolution ?

I don't play candy crush but since bard's tale was on sale I've spent 5 hours on it already and again it just gets warm. No real heating issues, but again some games differ i guess

I face the heat u mention but.. only sometime when charging while playing game.
But I think it's normal as the processor having high frequency when the hot happen.

Heating is totally normal at this devices due to cpu consumption and no cooling system. So no need to worry about it.

[Q] Does overheating kill my S4 (I9500)

Does the overheating eventually kill my S4? I have CM 11 (Android 4.4.2) and the problem still persist. I can't update via OTA since its rooted. I also don't want to lose any apps because they are large apps and dont want to bother to download them again. So will it actually gonna kill my S4 someday?

The Android 4.4.2 for S4 is leaked version. It is not published Officially by samsung and it may has many bugs. (eg. overheating, ...)

Overheating can eventually cause some serious problems. The board is able to adjust slightly with flexing caused by heat, but eventually soldered connections will give in and break if your device is getting extremely hot. When or what is causing it to get so hot?

 @megamanDJ It overheats when browsing, playing games. Does this eventually break the LCD screen ( not the gorilla glass 3 ) ?

No it won't break the HD Super Amoled screen.
Overheating will eventually cause logic board failures and shorten the batteries' life span

So if my phone is a little hot can this still happen?

Not a little bit hot but perheps if it reaches 85 degrees+ all the time. But even in doing so it will still (from my experience) last longer that you'd ever keep this phone for.

Oh the is there any apps out there that tells you the temp if my phone. Something that is easy to set up?

They have quite a few apps out there for monitoring temps and whatnot. I personally use Android Tuner for everything I monitor. As a huge plus, this app is one of the most versatile apps (especially if rooted) I've come across and have had for a long time. Its good for adjusting or tuning down anything that may cause overheating as well as view summaries of the culprits

I agree. You don't hear too often about someone's phone overheating to the point of failure. I've seen one phone that would get so hot you almost couldn't hold it in your hand, and had a habit of doing that but was ultimately broken months later by a shopping cart.:silly:
Still a decent monitoring app (among dozens on the market) can help you monitor temps and pinpoint when, where, and what is causing problems.

Thank you the app works. Is there anyway to drop the temperature as low as you can? Like 26 C? I disabled my Google account stuff and sync and removed the sim card because I use this phone as a gaming device. When I play a few rounds of subway surfers it already gets to medium warm and for 3D games it gets warmer more faster.

I would say you are safe in that temp range. Its when you get 80 C and above that that's causing damage. Also are these temps from the battery or the CPU? The CPU can and will get to 60 C temps at times which is normal.

CPU I played the game six guns for almost an hour and it didn't go over 65 C and I think I totally screwed up my ext SDcard

If you are having heating problems while playing 3D games alone then you might want to try experimenting with using different GPU settings. You can try tuning down the frequency. It may or may not help with temp being its only a frequency setting. Try also using the app "Greenify" to put as many of the remaining apps that you don't absolutely need running into hibernation. Greenify is a lot more efficient when it comes to keeping apps from using resources.

How to adjust the GPU frequency settings? Does this affect the quality of the game after its adjusted? But I do not think adjusting the GPU frequency settings will work. The overheating problem is caused by the CPU. May try Greenify app.

If your GPU is capable of adjusting the frequency then it will show you in the Android Tuner app next to the CPU settings, but you're right it wont help with overheating. You can set your CPU governor to "powersaver" and underclock by sliding the max frequency setting down one step at a time until you notice a difference in temp. Greenify is a huge help mainly with battery saving which in turn stops a lot of unnecessary CPU draw.

Does under clocking CPU will cause large 3S games crash? Hope it doesnt

Bad idea. When I change it to power save it makes every sluggish and laggy even I turn one step down the CPU thing its sluggish

I have also noticed that when I activate Power Saving Mode with the CPU Underclock, it's not getting hot very quick, just warm...

OK I've tried that game, front line 2, for about 10 minutes. Got bored with it tbh. So moved onto playing asphalt 8 then pvz2 for a good half hour.
Now the screen does get warm/hot but not so that I can't touch it. I noticed zero lag.
It is possible that as I'm using a custom kernel that has had the governor settings altered that this has under clocked/volted my phone so it's less noticeable than yours. Of course this is a balancing act if you under clock it too much it could lag. If you over it it'll heat up too much.
