I am currently running the PureNexus rom with ElementalX kernel while also underclocking the CPU but I still seem to run into throttling issues. What are you guys doing to help keep your 810 cool enough not to throttle but still maintaining buttery smooth performance?
Thanks
Not doing anything on mine. I haven't gone and focused on benchmarks or anything that has caused me to notice throttling on my device. Seems to work quite well and performance always seems buttery smooth while I'm using it.

Nothing, I've seen no reports of thermal throttling and no issues myself
If you are using Ex Kernel Manager, under the CPU section, you can adjust the Thermal Throttling temperature in Celsius. I have no experience with adjusting it though.

can you share your underclocking settings? there's no discussion about it in the exkernel thread.
also, did you figure out anything that helps with the heat? it's really well documented that this phone does throttle like crazy, so not sure what everyone saying it's just fine is talking about.
"it’s required to throttle to about 50% of its peak performance for most of the duration of the test to maintain reasonable skin temperatures" http://www.anandtech.com/show/9820/the-google-nexus-6p-review/6
Delete thermal.conf file in system>etc I believe. Disable msm_thermal and core_control in the elementx app. No more throttling. My phone has gotten hot time to time but nothing to where I have reboots.

i don't have a thermal.conf file in that directory, but there is a thermal-engine.conf. What does deleting it do?
Also, I've found that if msm_thermal is on and core_control is off, then I get reboots while using android auto (phone call+maps+waze+charging for about 20 - 50 minutes). If I keep core_control on, then it doesn't overheat. Also, with just msm_thermal on, and core_control off, I've found that gaming performance degrades, while with core_control on, it doesn't.
So I appreciate the advice, but I need some more discussion/explanation of what exactly that would do. Like if I turned both msm_thermal and core_control off, is there something that would prevent the phone from over heating?

The nexus 4 is definitely a great phone for a low price.But people are not buying this phone because of this THERMAL THROTTLING.so,people listen nexus 4 even runs smooth with thermal throttling going on.so, this fix is for people who just dont want thermal throttling.Before we start,this fix requires ROOT and a custom recovery.And a custom kernel needs to be flashed.so if you do any damage to your phone by doing this,I'm NOT RESPONSIBLE.
So first download the faux kernel for nexus 4(codename mako. if you see mako on faux website its for nexus 4) from here: Faux's website which i cannot post because im new to XDA. you can find it by googling for faux kernel website.I recommend the TBM kernels such as mako-jb-kernel 016 tbm which lets you overclock CPU to 1.83 Ghz.But theres also TBU kernels which support overclocking to 1.94 GHz.
Step 1 now download a faux kernel of your choice.
Step 2 paste the kernel to your mobile
Step 3 Boot into recovery mode
Step 4 Wipe cache
Step 5 Wipe dalvik cache
Step 6 Install .zip kernel
Step 7 Reboot your phone
Step 8 Now you have to buy the faux123 kernel enhancement program from play store(this app is from faux and this has intelli-thermal built in it)
Have fun.the faux app lets you select CPU frequencies also
What.

With his enhancement app yes you can control throttling but the problem is that because the phones CPU is getting way too hot, so increasing the throttle threshold or limit basically makes it so when your gaming, it makes things smoother however your CPU is burning faster.

No it has a thermal manager which controls the heat.if it heats up it automatically turns off 1 or 2 cores so that means 2 cores wil still run normally but the other 2 cores will shutdown.

i always turn off throttling, on every device i own(ed). they all live long lives, and are the best performers around(for their model). they never ever got damaged because of it, and im an extrely heavy user. my n4 has had all throttling disabled since jan 14th, and its still going strong. the difference is that i never complain that my phone turns down cpu speed, or does my phones performance get slowed down.

The nexus 4 throttling is caused by the battery reaching a certain temperature not the CPU. It's poor design/cooling system causes heat to build up which raises the temperature of the battery. Once it reaches a low 37 degrees the cpu/gpu are downclocked even if they are well within their limits.

the n4 has a battery temp throttle AND a cpu temp throttle.
i generally disable both the battery and cpu temp throttles, but leave both safety temps as is. for those that say "oh, the extra heat will eventually ruin the phone".. the temp doesnt get any hotter than it does when you normally use your phone, the difference is that you dont get throttled. and even if there was extra heat because of, im not planning on having my phone for the amount of time that the extra heat will take to ruin the phone(years).
Hi guys,
I have the 855 version of this phone, and I have noticed that, even if Antutu scores are spot on (44k), in games such as GT racing 2 or similar I get a lot of lag.
Now, everyone will think "there are 1000 threads about lag, stick to those". Unfortunately, tricks such as getting rid of the thermal protection are really not good options, as the phone temperature will start to skyrocket.
There's a much easier and safer solution: root the phone and change the governor from interactive to conservative.
With interactive gov and CPU temp open in the background, I have noticed the CPU frequency bounces continuously up and down between 300mhz and 2400, even if the CPU temp is only 55c or so. This is causing the lag! Interactive governor is severely bugged, and this happens with any rom (I have tried both the stock 20h and the ChupaChups 4.2) and kernel (non AOSP at least).
Then, I switched to conservative, launched the game again, and guess what....now the frequency is nicely stable at 2457mhz throughout the entire gameplay and lag is gone completely. Temperatures? Totally fine: max 60c while playing and usually between 35 and 40 while whatsapping.
I literally tried everything to get rid of this damn lag, and the only thing that worked before this solution was to use a different kernel (chupa chups 2.1) and changing the governor...but I was getting crazy high temperatures, that sometimes touched 80c, and this was with a very heavy undervolt too! So I recommend to use the stock kernel, because it's the only one - for me at least - that grants good performances (and by that I mean no lag in games whatsoever and constant 2450mhz while playing) with good temperatures.
Any other option, including undervolting and trying different kernels didn't work for me, because either the CPU frequency kept shifting up and down every second causing lag, or - when I managed to keep it stable using different kernels and undervolting - the CPU temperature while playing got way too high (70c+, touching 80c sometimes).
To sum it up
1) Stick to stock rom and stock kernel (because of temperature issues)
2) Root
3) Change governor from interactive to conservative with Trickstermod (busybox required)
4) Enjoy smooth gaming experience and very good temperatures, with no significant throttle whatsoever!
Hope this helps!
as far as i know, conservative puts the cpu speed into the lowest possible, thus i thought won't be good for gaming performance.
nevertheless, i'd try for a few days and see if there's any noticeable difference.
thanks for sharing the knowledge, OP!

Theoretically you are right. But...interactive is bugged. Ondemand doesn't work (it will make your phone freeze) and performance will drain too much battery. So we are pretty much left with conservative.
Give it a try, and when you do, make sure you have CPU temp open to monitor both temperature and cpu frequency!
Let me know
Thank you! It really did the trick, gaming became MUCH better.
I tried RR3 - it became a lot better. On interactive it lags even in menu, on conservative it's rendering at 23-30 fps with slight not-game-breaking lags.
Battery
And about the battery? Will drain more in conservative than interactive? And will speed up the phone in all app or only in heavy games, when cpu is more active?

I wouldn't worry about battery life..
It seems that this working generally, phone is much snappier and smooth for me than on interactive.
Yeah...the reason is that LG did an awful job with the interactive governor, and what's even worse is that it's actually using it as the default one.
Pretty incredible how bugged this is.
Yes but I think it's possible to make script in init.d folder to run conservative on boot as default. Maybe someone make one.
I Will try this ☺only for curiosity! I need busybox installed too or trickstermod only?
I've been doing the same thing for a long time now. I use SetCPU to automatically switch to the performance governor whenever the screen is on, and interactive whenever the screen is off.
You may also want to consider disabling mpdecision and thermald also. One of the two (probably mpdecision) will regularly change the governor back to interactive if you don't.

That works to get rid of the lag...but my phone was reaching easily 80c.
Now, with everything stock, the frequency stays nicely at 2457mhz with no throttle at all and the in-game temperature only maxes out at 63/64c.
Thanks for sharing this brother...just switched to conservative in trickster and I'll see how it goes.
I'm on crash Rom stock kernel with thermal mod activated...
Don't have any temperature issues till now expert while playing heavy games for some time.

41k with conservative here, and latest v20i. Everything stock.
As above.
Daily use is very good, everything is responsive and fast.
However, benchmarks are roughly 50-70% of what they are supposed to be.
I tried to post a screenshot of CPU Spy, previously reseted timers and then ran BasemarkOS and Geekbench. (can't because less of 10 posts )
I see in CPU Spy that Max CPU state is 1555 Mhz? That's the A53 cores, right?
Is this behaviour normal?

Kernel Adiutor is a free kernel manager. I prefer using ElementalX Kernel Manager (paid app). Both work perfectly fine on Marshmallow, support HMP, and receive frequent updates.
If the phone is hot, then benchmarks will suffer. The big cluster gets throttled and goes offline whenever the temperature reaches a certain point. If it is running cool and you see low scores then idk cuz I don't do benchmarks.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
If the phone is responsive and fast as you say why do benchmarks scores matter? Benchmarks are pointless, they give you a pretty useless set of numbers that don't equate to real world usage. If your real world usage is good (as you pointed out) then you're wasting time and energy worrying about something that doesn't matter.

I've had eight of these and none of them have performed well in benchmarks. Take from that what you will but I believe it's a problem that's common to the SD810, not necessarily that you have a defective unit.

The phone is thermal throttling because the 810 Is overheating and the cores are being turned off. You can thank Qualcomm for their faulty overheating 810 design.

My AT&T one was, too. I went back to stock. Faster and cooler (temp). Just gonna wait for a fix.
Yeah it doesn't matter what you set it too, it will overheat more then the stock.
my phone doesn't overheat at all. stock kernel uses interactive governor not ondemand. and you need to use an app that supports big.little CPU cores like kernel toolkit or ex kernel manager. set your big CPU cores to 2.1GHz and your little cores to 1.6k GHz. if you don't know about all this you guys probably shouldn't be rooting in the first place.
I was overheating also on pb6 firmware. Flashed pb8 and re-rooted, used kernel toolkit to set interactive and cpu cores to there min 300 something and 1500 for small and 2100 for large. Then flashed tekx. All is good now. Battery life is nowhere close to stock still.

If you use your phone for gaming you will see how much the phone heats up. If your using it from normal non heavy things it will be fine.
Well after switching to ex kernel, using TekX ROM, greenify, and L Speed, my phone is running almost perfect with great battery life.

Phone: VS995 Rooted running WETA rom + Werewolf Kernel.
Issue: Phone heavy CPU throttling when charging, gaming or even just booting. The CPU throttles to 652mhz on the small cluster and 1036mhz on the big cluster whenever I do something cpu intensive for a couple minutes. Obviously this causes a lot of stuttering and lag. I have to let it sit untouched and it will go back to normal.
I've monitored the temps and CPU doesn't go above 50c when playing games and my battery temp is below 25c. Even if the cpu temps go back down to 35c, it takes a while for the frequencies to ramp back up to max.
I'm using EX kernal manager and have disabled core_control and msm_thermal but doesn't help.
I've tried the stock WETA kernel and Werewolf kernel but they both don't seem to affect the heavy throttling at all.
Wondering if there is a kernel or a fix for this, kinda like the lg g3 thermal mitigation setting, or the CTTMOD found on other devices? Or maybe my device needs to replace thermal paste?
Thanks!

I've noticed this as well on WETA but only when charging. For some reason on WETA on stock kernel this phone slows down dramatically when plugged in. I just thought it was LGs method of thermal control but on MEGAROM V4 it doesn't slow down at all for me when plugged in so idk but would like to know how to fix cause I have it plugged in during driving a lot and switching back and forth between music and navigation becomes frustrating because of how laggy it gets

Yes! That's exactly what I'm experiencing too.
Having it plugged in throttles the cpu immediately. Doesn't matter if it's a quick charger or a slow charger. The battery and CPU temps are both low so that's not an issue. Even when it reaches 100% battery and just trickle charging, it still throttles randomly.
I'll start a different rom and see if it helps.

Yeah I recommend MEGAROM V4 although I'm on the T-Mobile H918 variant and not sure if there are any discrepancies to be accounted for but give it a shot and see
Having the same issue
My phone always stay Cool even when charging but cpu frequencies keep changing.
Even when i set the cpu max to 2105mhz it automatically slow down to 1036mhz , which makes the device super laggy and shuttering.
I've tried stock rom,weta,and some other roms and also tried some kernels nothing seems to be fixing the issue but Resurrection remix rom fixed it, no frequencies changing no lag no shuttering but i also has a problem that second screen doesn't work at all :/
yep same issues stock here.. just made a topic and realized you made this lol. stock rooted fwiw. I can't stand it. this phone has become such a lag fest that the galaxy s6 I was given for work seems faster, and that's two years old.
