Quadrant Scores

Hey I have the sprint version and normally can achieve a score around 4200. Ive seen as high as 5034, after closing all apps and clearing RAM. What are you guys averaging?

Anywhere from 4500 to 5000

I've noticed heat plays a large factor in this phone. Try this for an experiment. Take your phone and use it normally for about 5 minutes (Texting, Phone Call, Whatever) and then run Quadrant see what you get. Then take your phone and set it by your A/C vent for a few minutes and let it chill. Run Quadrant again and I'll bet your score is significantly better. I was having problems with my T-Mobile S3 not reaching 5000+ in Quadrant. I use the phone heavily but could only manage to get like 3500 - 4000. I let my phone sit above the A/C for 5 minutes and ran the test again to get 5100!

Yeah phone performs flawlessly and when I need to I can hit those benchmark scores now. Just can't run one after the phone has been being used heavily beforehand.

CPU - 13274 WOW! Now imagine if they put 2GB of ram in the International Version now that would be THE ultimate phone.

yea ive definitely noticed that heat is a factor in the quadrant scores. Ive been turning my phone off for about 30mins to a hour, either once a day or every other day, to let it cool down. The AC cooling idea is cool but im a little nervous putting the phone through two different extremes like that too often

I don't think you have to switch off the phone to cool it down. Just letting it sit idle seems to do the trick. I too confirm three effect of heat on quadrant score. It was on the 4100 range when hot, but after some idle time it hit 5100. Never switched the phone off in between.

Yea I keep my s3 in a cooler iced down properly, I'm getting 9000 quadrant score consistently after it thaws a bit.

yeah the only reason the U.S. version score above the htc one x is because of the ram. the cpu is like half the speed.

Well that was the idea of the extra G of ram... I still don't see the need for quad cores in phones just yet.

[Q] Nexus 4 Heating and Battery Issues

Hello so I bought my N4 on the Dec 3 batch and got it around Feb, the works fine and all but I have 2 main questions
1. The phone gets hot doing simple tasks like browsing the web or watching a youtube video. I am running the CM 10.1 Nightlies and Franco's Kernel r110. Sometimes the phone can get really hot which I then stop using it to prevent any damage. Does this have anything to do with the Custom ROM or kernel because my friend's N4 is stock and unrooted and hes doesn't have any heat issues.
2. The battery on the phone is not what I expected. I hear people who get 4-5 hours on screen time, but I get around 2-2.5. Also I am on a Canadian provider which is Mobilicity if that has anything to do with it. I leave 3G on mostly and just surf the web when the screen is on.
Thanks for any input you guys leave.

If you can take it back to stock and don't root because that is why your friend's N4 is normal besides what more do you want that the N4 doesn't have?

I like the root features and also cm 10.1 if its the ROM that's making it overheat then I know to change or find a better one

Hi,
As always "overheating" is very subjective, it depends on how you feel the heat.
CPU / battery temperature?
In any case there is a protection, a thermal throttling. At certain CPU / battery temperatures the CPU frequence is automatically lowered to help reduce the temperature. In extreme temperature the phone shutdown to avoid damages so no worries.
In 3G the phone heated a little more, no problem here that the phone heats up when you re browsing or you're watching a video on Youtube.
You can try to undervolt a little to see if that helps.
As for battery life it depends on too many factors... CPU settings, screen brightness, signal quality, etc...
Search about your questions in this section or in the General section, there are lots of threads about it.

What temperature does your phone actually get? When running stock it would be impossible to see my phone get other 43c and that was only under very heavy gaming but would usually be at 32-36c ive noticed my phone does get hotter when using mobile data instead of wifi. Now running rasbean with franco m1 and temps abit lower gaming has improved greatly but i dont think there is any difference in battery life compared to stock but your 2-2.5 screen time does seem abit low as i get with just web browsing maybe few youtube vids and few minutes of games around 4 hours screen time but i also envy those who are getting 5+ hours
---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------
Forgot to mention thats 4 hours on wifi on mobile internet i should be able 2 get over 3 hours

The phone gets hot very easily in my opinion idk the exact temp but I have the ringke slim on it and its definitely noticeable from the top of the phone to the bottom. Also does my carrier have anything to do with it because brightness on my phone is pretty low and simple stuff tends to drain my battery.

When i was using a case on my phone it was getting hot from top to bottom but now i don't use case it doesn't get as hot and usually stays cooler at bottom half. I have found most accurate way to check your battery temp is by going on call and dialling *#*#4636#*#* and a hidden menu will come up and tap battery information you will see temp, there was an app that had same info but cant remember name so when you think its hot dial that code and let me know what temp it shows. Also are you using mobile internet or wifi when its getting hot?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I think it usually gets hot when using 3G so I'm assuming mobilicity isn't that good for this phone? Also I can clearly tell its the top part that is hot when the case is on
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Yep mine also gets noticeably hotter on 3g and yeah it gets hot at the top but after a while will spread to bottom to thats normal. I am currently running rasbean rom with franco milestone 1 and also downloaded pimp my rom from play it has various tweaks and mods so i just flashed battery saving which supposed to help with battery not sure what it does though lol but i managed to get 3 hours 40 mins screen time half of time it was on minimum brightness and other half on 40% was just internet browsing and im sure you will agree that is very good considering i was using 3g the whole time
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Just an update you should try undervolting on franco as i have now done it and it definitely helps with heating and i am pretty sure it has vastly improved my battery life if your interested i will post the values i have used which seems to be perfectly stable so far
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Yes please, do I need any app for this or can I just do it in the settings?

do you have the franco app? As that was what i used to change my setting if yes just go on frequencies/voltages go down to voltages and change from there i have attached screenshot of my setting and make you do not set voltages on boot as if it is unstable your phone is not going to boot up if that is ticked, you will have to change that everytime you reboot until you are sure its stable then u can set on boot
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Do you have a bad signal? Because if so then that will drain your battery a lot more quickly and also possibly make the phone heat up more.

Hi guys,
Would like to check up if any one of you faced issues with samsung galaxy s4, heating up after usage of gaming, downloads, browsing, talking on the fone, etc
if yes, then post your issues here and we all can work together to resolve this or atleast know whts causing it...

Blame it on the Snapdragon 600 or the Cortex-A15 cores, whichever you use. These babies burn like hell when you push them to the max. I suggest you to quickly root your phone and downclock via SetCPU . My SD600 is butter-smooth still at 1.35GHz and runs much cooler.

Of course any powerful processor on this earth will get hot when you use it fully. You can't put HSF in there

No offense but news flash the energy in the battery is converted into heat when you use the phone.
I feel like many people complaining about heating or overheating have units that are working correctly. It's a quad core with a big battery it's gonna make some heat when you put it to work.
Overheating specifically means heating to point where it no longer functions, not the point where you simply believe it is too hot (assuming it's not burning you) or even worse you think some temp readout is too high.
Tl;dr if your phone isn't shutting down or burning you it doesn't have a heating problem. If it's warm at idle your battery is draining you have a software idle drain problem not a heating problem.
Charging also generates heat. My phone will get pretty warm gaming but only really gets heated up on the back when charging. It's all fine. My S1 got toasty and never failed, one time I left it in a hot car it was so hot I could barely touch it and it was still working fine. Just chill.

[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?

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

Phone overheating issue

My G2 tends to get worryfyingly warm when im using a bit more cpu intensive tasks. The cpu managed to get to 67°C when playing 3 races in NFS Most Wanted and managed to get 76° when doing Antutu benchmarks twice and it started throttling. And battery temp stayed around 40~45°. Idk, if this is supposed to be normal(please bear in mind my previous phone was HTC Evo 3D, which barely got hot ). When idling, the phone is just a bit warm. I'm running OptimusRs Pro V4.1 Stock kernel. Is this supposed to be normal for quad core phones or should I get it to service?

Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Is it really normal? I mean after 10 mins of browsing even the screen gets really hot..

see if you can check your kernel's cpu profile settings. could be that it's not allowing the cpu to idle when it should be. alot of times there are various profiles you can set it to 'on demand/powersaver/ect...' and this will change the behavior of the cpu's throttling.

Well now we're in the summer and the phone will naturally get hotter since the only thing that cools it down is the environment. If you're browsing under hot sunlight with 100 percent brightness then yes, it is going to get really hot.

its not normal bro. i have the same issue on all aosp roms and cloudyflex roms. my phone becomes really hot. if you give a shot at cloudystock 2.2, your phone wont heat up at all. try it out and be sure to make a nandroid before. just incase if you change ur mind and want to get back to this rom. i wouldnt recommend it though, anthing above 25*C for the battery is bad for its health since its a lithium battery.while the cpu heating up to 70*C is fine i actually use custom throttling to reduce my phone heating that much, i keep the throttling at 60*C

No it gets hot even at 60 percent brigthness while browsing. NFC, BT, 3G are off, i am using only 2 widgets, The top of the phone gets really hot... my sis has S3 and it never ever gets that hot, so do my old Huawei phone..
