I usualy don't play t much graphic intense games but when i do my batteyr just goes all the way down. For ex i've been playing Dungen Hunter 4 and 30 min of gameplay is more or less 20%, thats insane, all the graphics at max.
At it happens with other games also, is there a way to undervolt or have less power so it doesn't onsume much?
Thanks in advance.
Got my phone refurb, no idea if this is a hardware issue. I have been tinkering with the phone a lot, rooted, installed custom rom, de-installed custom rom, then went back to stock rom with custom kernel googy-max. (All clocks are stock).
Just right now i was playing This War Of Mine and i realized that the game started getting extremely choppy after a few minutes of gameplay. I downloaded FPS meter and CPU Z to check for thermal throttling, but i still can hardly believe this is the case. In the span of 5 minutes my FPS dropped from an average of 40 to a 12. Right after this drop I checked my temps on CPU Z. Turns out battery temp was at 33.4c and Exynos-therm was at about 54c (I checked real quick before the temps drop)
Should i even throttle at those temps? I tried with other games, same thing, takes more or less time depending on the game, but always happens in the span 5 - 10 mins.
Try suemax kernel.
I have been doing some heavy gaming on my G5 while monitoring the temps, and to my utter amazement G5 never goes beyond 40C mark even after an hour of continuous gaming. Because of that it never throttles down and stays at max cores almost the whole time. Now, coming from G3 this is a HUGE improvement where normal temps would go beyond 80C and throttling would make gaming virtually unplayable (even after root and thermal tweaks)
Sample temps comparison after at least 30min of continuous gaming (room temp around 23C)
Lara Croft GO - Max settings
G3= 80C+ lag and throttling
G5=36C+ smooth
Xenowerk - Max settings
G3= 80C+ lag and throttling
G5=35C+ smooth
GTA San Andreas = Max settings
G3= UNPLAYABLE
G5=39C+ smooth (yes I cannot believe it finally runs like butter )
Dawn of Titans = Max settings
G3= 80C+ lag and throttling
G5=41C+ smooth
Real Racing 3 = Max Settings
G3= 75C+ smooth
G5=31C Lag
There you have it, overall a whole 45+ difference in temps while gaming !!! Not only do games run buttery smooth, the phone stay cool as a cucumber.
The only exception here is Real Racing 3, which I think needs to be patched to work properly on newer hardware (even S7 SD820 has similar performance issues)
This goes to show that Qualcomm have done a miracle with SD820 and kudos to LG as well for proper hardware implementation.
Let me know what you guys think and if you want me to do more comparisons like this
i hereby confirm the temps and add temple run 2 (both maps, runs like butter in the mines), asphalt 8 aswell as modern combat 4 and 5 to the list of low temp max settings games.
even antutu keeps it cool
I can use Autoguard dashcam software with GPS enabled, waze in the background, and charge my phone and it's only slightly warm.
I play GTA SA in high quality and in a few minutes it is slow, Temple Run 2 loses many FPS, GodFire falls from 60FPS to 30FPS or less, Asphalt 8 begins to have low FPS.
I analyzed the performance of the GPU and CPU:
The phone heats up, reaches an average temperature of 70 ° C (158º F) ~ 80 ° C (176º F) , gives peaks up to 90 ° C (194º F) on hot days.
The GPU performance drops a lot.
The GPU performance falls gradually from 578 MHz to 190.73 MHz and no longer increases until the temperature cools.
I live in Brazil and in recent days made a lot of heat - 32 ° C (89,6º F), is now doing 15 ° C (59º F) and the GPU performance drops to 305 MHz in less than 10 minutes.
I have the S5 makes a week! I received from the Samsung because of problems with the S5 Mini GPS.
This is normal? Or my S5 has problems?
Thanks in advance!
It is G900M - SnapDragon Version
It has no root
Version 5.0 Lolipop

Doesn't sound normal to me, RMA if you can.

Which version of the phone u have? G900f?
And what version of android are u running?
And are u rooted?
It will throttle if it overheats, playing GPU/CPU intensive games on a hot day is a good combination to overheat the phone
Find somewhere cool and try playing them again, see if it still throttles

Today is 18ºC (64,4ºF) and it heats up to 85ºC (176ºF) according to the CPU-Z and GPU reached drop to 190MHz, as well as on hot days.
The average temperature is 45 ° C (113ºF) today without using it. It is normal on hot days is higher than 50 ° C (122ºF).
The processor did not exceed 70ºC (158ºF)
I don't know how high it is acceptable. I mean, lose the GPU performance in a few minutes.

That's pretty high, have you done a reflash/factory reset? Some process must be making it run like that.

I've tried, I have almost nothing installed. If I do not use the S5 the processor is almost stopped.
Also this occurred in 3 Lolipop updates I have received beyond the first.
The first time I turn it on and I set it up, he came to be very hot, downloaded CPU-Z and marked up to over 80 ° C. (The day was hot)
(Sorry for my english)
Can someone help me? Share the experience?
thats hot,i live in malaysia where the temp as same as there and now the weather became more hotter than usual in here , but my s5 g900f just acting like normal,no fps drops , even when im playing with heavy games together with vpn apps.
maybe your phone hardware got somehing wrong wih it.
Thanks for all the answers. I took my device in technical assistance for analysis and see what happens ...
If anyone else has expriencia, please share.
Hello, so recently i just reset my phone, usually i play standoff 2 or pubg mobile, etc i
have 60 fps in standoff 2 and around 40 fps in pubg when using wifi, but when i use my mobile data i have 20-25 fps in pubg and 35-40 fps in standoff 2, any fix? Thanks
Are you on stock lollipop ROM?
