So yeah, I'm still new for G2 and I found thermal throttling issues to be very bad. I enabled temperature property but it throttles on 70c and does it fast. I'm not a huge gamer but still would like to fix this. Is it possible to increase the limit or something? Talking about stock LG ROM.
Thanks.

Hello Guys, i registered to XDA developers to ask this question so please reply. i heard many say GPU of Nexus 4 is very bad because after 20 mins of gameplay the phone gets heated and the GPU performance is Dramatically Reduced to cooldown. I am going to buy Nexus 4 thats y im asking, i didnt hear this from my neighbours..., i saw someone say this in youtube comments. Anyone Experiencing this Issue? or its a defective product?.
This is a good thread to read about Thermal Throttling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144652
I am not sure about the GPU actually reducing it's power when the nexus is getting hot. I know the CPU will clock lower when it has reached 70 degrees so it can cool down. Most kernel's have the ability to up this to about 100 degrees so you won't have the thermal throttling as fast. You are also able to remove the throttling completely with a commando.
I've played alot of Dungeon Hunter 4/GTA Vice City/Real Racing 3 and I have never experienced severe FPS drops because of it getting hotter. The only thing you will experience is a battery that will be empty within 2 hours.
PS: This is based on what i've read on the forums, I do not have my nexus 4 for that long and I am not a developer, someone might be able to give you more accurate information.
The thermald.conf sets the battery threshold to about 40-41C before it begins to underclock aggressively (hence why it feels sluggish). I forget the exact number. It starts reading "Overheating" status when it reaches about 46C. Max rated temperature for the battery is 60C.
At that battery temperature ~41C, the CPU is no more than about 50C, so it's not the CPU overheating.
If you feel so inclined, you can modify the thermald.conf with root to modify how aggressive the thermal throttling acts, within reason. Otherwise you'll cook your phone.

or you can run a custom kernel(like trinity) that disables the battery thermal throttle and not worry about it.

YMMV with that. My nominal binned SoC overheats really easily. With the way I use my phone, it'd be overheating way too often.
I modified my thermald.conf so it's less aggressive. It's not that hard to figure out.
The phone throttles its clock speed like a PC. It's not a big deal.
Why every kernel with overclocking support, lowers the frequency on its on mostly when is overheated?If I remove mdtermal or something forgot the name is it gonna fix this issue? Thanks.

because thats how google had lg make it. you can always disable thermal throttle if you want, itll still keep the 100C safety temp though. mdthermal is for battery temp throttle, and there is a seperate cpu thermal throttle. trinity kernel disables the battery temp throttle, but you have to disable cpu thermal throttle on your own.
I know on LG phones you can disable thermal throttling from the dialer, is there a similar way with Samsung devices?

Yeah I would live to turn this off, it is really annoying
I am on my third device but this is a inbuilt feature

i hope someone give a solution on this. It is very bad thing the dim bug.
Bump - hoping someone knows *fingers crossed*

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but the thermal throttling table should be in a similar location to where it was on the nexus 4.
Disabling it would be a very bad idea, with this kinda power a small phone like this would Cook without throttling.
You may want to up the threshold temp a little bit as that wouldn't guaranteed ruin your phone. (Some people bumped the N4 all the way from 60C to 80C)
This is really apparent to me... Just use Antutu benchmark a few times, you'll notice it drop about 20%.

How do you access it on the N4? Wondering if the method could be slightly tweaked for the GN3
Really hoping someone implements this soon

Couldn't fin d the one from the N4 seems like no one wants to do it themselves. They all just want it baked into whatever kernel they use...

Heres one from the HTE One
**edit
The basic concept:
Every few miliseconds poll the cpu temp, battery temp, LCD temp, and any other temperature sensors you have.
If any of them are nearing a dangerous temperature, decrease the amount of heat going into that component.
You decrease the heat by reducing things like CPU voltage and frequency, GPU voltage and frequency, and LCD backlight intensity.
So basically, I'm on PA 4.0 LS980 and I noticed that Riptide GP2 was lagging pretty badly last night. I checked the temps and it was near 67c. I know that's perfectly safe for the device, but I think it exceeded the limit, as it was throttling down to 300MHz or so. Also my Antutu was 28K, then 20K right after, so there is clearly massive throttling. I've seen talk of a fix in the custom kernel thread, but I was wondering if this had ever been figured out? Thanks!
So I got G6 yesterday and I liked it. but, after about 30-60 mins of gaming, the device starts to slow down
For example, I was playing PUBG at high settings at ~45 fps, but after some time , it drops to ~20 fps, extremely unplayable
Is there anyway to fix it??
I've heard that CPU Throttling is the problem, but I didnt find a way to disable it
I am using the LG H870DS Model
Then cool your Phone with something down, like playing under Water.
Of course its throttling down, cause of the Heat, LOL.
You were able to find XDA Forum and to login, so you cannot be stupid like that, not to know what thermal throttling means -.-

I am aware that thermal throttling was caused by excessive heat
If I am not mistaken, Thermal throttling is basically CPU and GPU underclocking automatically when reaching high temperature (50 celcius most of the time) to avoid potential hardware failure
But the problem is the throttling was so bad. compared to my other phone. But yeah I am aware that thermal throttling exist for a good reason
You play too much mobile Games, take a Computer and become Masterrace ?
