Help, please participate. Do I have a bad hot CPU? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok guys I need some help from the community to see if my phone is really defective or not. My issue is, my phone is throttling almost immediately, reguardless of temp (55-63c) range in benchmarks and stress tests, now when I go and force off throttling through intellitemp, when I stress test at above 1.4Ghz, the phone will reboot in a matter of 10 or so seconds. This is after flashing dori kernel 4.4, and I've tried clearing cache/dalvik, reflashing, going back to stock kernel then flashing again, etc...
This is all stock values, with exception of forcing off throttling.
Temps max out around 67c and throttle down at 65c
And it hovers around 45-55c with normal usage. Which seems high to me. But I'm new to high powered cell phones.
So I want everyone who's willing to participate to get the app CpuTemp from play store, it overlays cpu temp while you're doing whatever, enable only the top two options, enable overlay and start on boot.
Then get stability test app and run the first option at top, classic test.
Then report back here with your temp after you do the stress test for about 27 seconds. I hit 66c after 27 seconds.
Curious to see what everyone else hits.
This will at least give us an idea if our phones are operating to spec temp wise and see if I have a faulty hot phone! Please help prevent me from dealing with T-Mo warranty replacement if I don't need to

I tried it out with my d800 stock and after first few seconds it doesn't go any higher than around 1.7 and remains on lower speeds so I think that's the way the app does it's computing

Cool, im going to test out antutus stress test now to see if the same thing happens.

Antutu was bust, didn't really show me a thing. If incan just get a couple more people to try this, then I'll at least be able to chalk it up to not being my hardware.

Same here it's the throttling and it reboots if the max temparatuere comes.

Your voltages are probably to low. I had same problem adjusted up my voltages at the high end 1512 and up and it fixed it. Also could be kernel issue

No they aren't to low because 2.8 GHz works fine.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

My temps don't go over 83c while stress testing, max shut down temp should be 120c from what I've read. So I assumed its not a thermal issue. Am I correct?
Hopefully some more people come through and help me figure this out.
Sent from my LG-D801

I've tried both Dori and dr87's kernels. Both show the same issue.
Sent from my LG-D801

Something isn't right for sure, I just set the core voltage for 2.2 to the voltage that 2.8 has and ran a stress test locked on that frequency only and it rebooted still. I'm seriously starting to think I have a bad chip.
It can't possibly need that much voltage.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I have been having issues with this phone since I got it. Should have picked up the Note 3 instead. This phone has serious thermal design issues. The instant all four cores come online at 2.3 GHz temp starts rising above 60. Slowly the phone throttles to about 1.3 GHz. It is very noticeable in games, even playing for 5 minutes and the game starts to feel sluggish due to throttling.

Maybe if you try undervolting a litlle, really helps get the temp down.
2265MHs @ 965 mV
oc: 2496MHs @ 1000mV (Stable)

check whats using cpu, enable development settings, then in development settings there is an option that shows whats utilizimg cpu. Could be a process that has gone astray.
usually clean install without recovering apps data does the trick. Dont ever recover system stuff.

From the testing I've been doing this is correct. Its more as if it was designed for the max clocks to be a turbo mode. For quickly taking on small procedures, while sustaining 1.7-1.9ghz for major tasks.

I've been experimenting as well with UV.. It does make a difference. But sadly it still hits the throttling threshold.

Overclocking >806?

Okay, so i was browsing through the results of the Antutu benchmarking application, and I saw this guy, he had a CPU freq of 844 freq. Is that even possible? Just wondering
for reference, hes number is 887243
It is possible, within 5 or 10 minutes. As soon as the run game, the phone goes to restart (((

Overclocking the phone to even 787Mhz makes it quite unstable. That's why clock speeds above 806Mhz are not included in most kernels...but even if you do somehow overclock to 844Mhz I don't think the phone would survive for more than 15- 30 mins not to mention lots of heating up. In short-such speeds are not feasible for daily usage

If he's really hardcore, maybe he opened it up and used a fan or something.
Like the other ones written bevor me. Overclocking the O1 above 786 Mhz are like Gambling. Every CPU are a litle bit Unique, so nobody knows what kind of Frequency youre once are able to handle.
For Exemple iam running myone stable @ 320/787. But every Step Higher will be results in FCs and Reboots.
So the only way to go is to OC youre Phone step by step to find out what kind of Frequency youre CPU can handle
I once accidentally left my phone on 787mhz performance after benchmarking, and after a few days my phone crashed and would not boot into android, scared the **** out of me, but after about 10 mins it was fine, i quickly found out why this happened after. Overclocking your phone to 787mhz adds a lot of extra heat to your phone, and unless you live in a freezer or Antarctica and never keep your phone in your pockets I would not recommend over-clocking it that high.
If your new to the whole overclocking things, youtube extreme overclockers and you will realise would needs to be done to cpus to overcome the excessive heat.

[Q] Slow quadrant score?

Hi everyone!
Last night I was sitting with a friend of mine and tried to tell him that the Nexus 4 was faster than his Galaxy S3. He wanted to test it out and we both downloaded Quadrant Standard and ran the test...
Let's just say that I had to eat my words. I had a fresh install of CM10.1's latest nightly installed. The strange thing was that I was expecting the CPU to max out at 1500~MHz but it still stated 1100~ whilst the S3 was around 1400Mhz.
I went into the Performance menu and set it to PERFORMANCE but still the score was lower. My friend's S3 also had a custom ROM so was thinking that maybe the extra 1GB of RAM in the N4 may give a higher score.
What happened?
so because the s3 scores higher in quadrant, youre thinking that its a faster phone?
Quadrant scores literally mean nothing. You can't compare scores from different hardware on different versions of android running different rooms.
The s3 is a great all around performer that scores above average in all categories. The Nexus 4 scores higher in some categories (mostly hardware and software) but scores lower in others (camera, speaker)

The Nexus 4 has got some heavy thermal throttling problems, search for this term on these forums and you'll find plenty of info about it. Basically, the Nexus 4 is the only phone that is unable to keep running at the stated max clock frequenzy for more than ~5-10 minutes, because it would overheat. After a few minutes, it will throttle the performance. This is also the reason it sucks so hard on benchmarks, compared to other phones with exactly the same hardware.

check out the benchmarks here when anandtech put the N4 in a freezer. It tops every android phone on almost every test(and it still suffered from thermal throttling ). Any benchmark done for the browser will be slow bc chrome sucks for mobile phones. The AOSP browser will have higher results

No it isn't .. It doesn't use all the cores all the time for everything..
even if I fire up GTA 3 , straight away it isn't using all the cores, and in fact doesn't use cores 3 and 4 at any time in GTA3 , it isnt throttling here,
The only benchmark iv seen the Nexus 4 throttle on is glbenchmark when ALL the tests are ticked, which is like a 15-20 min test at full load
Dsmboost was correct in the previous post as well , hence why not all the cores are being used when in games.
Can pretty much bet anything that its not throttling in 1 run of quadrant ...

Nexus 7 overheating when playing 3d games

Am I the only one having this issue? I'm not really much of a gamer, but I noticed playing zen bound 2 that it started to get really hot and Trinity kernel toolbox have me a temp alert. Eventually the thing just either reboots or freezes playing any game with decent graphics. Normally I have my nexus at 1.7 w/on demand governor but it still does the same thing at 1.2 GHz. I tried the omega kernel to see if that was an issue but still had the same result. I'm pretty sure this didn't happen until I updated to 4.2.2 but maybe I just didn't notice because as I said, I'm not much of a gamer.
Any suggestions? Am I the only one? It stays at normal temperatures otherwise.
Sent from my ViperDNA using Tapatalk 2
No, I would say that's pretty normal.
Seriously? Interesting. Well, I have plenty of other things to play games on. Oh well.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Well think about it, it's not like the N7 has fans inside it pumping air. It's only a tablet. Extensive or graphic heavy gaming on any tablet will cause it to overheat.
Mine once overheated so much playing NFS that the glass actually separated from the bezel a little bit. The adhesive holding it down pretty much melted. I had to reheat it, clamp it down, and kinda melt it back into place.
No that's not normal. I've played games such as dead trigger, NFS most wanted, shadow gun deadzone, for literally up to 3 hours straight and don't have overheating issues. Sure the tablet warms up a little bit, but has never actually gotten hot to the touch.
I use stock kernel, but I've also used faux, omega 3 and Trinity. Didn't overheat on any of them. I also don't overclock as it's never made a difference I could see on any game.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Mine gets super hot, just below too hot to touch occasionally. :l
Hmm I don't know why I'm having problems when you guys aren't then. I've tried it several times on 1.2 ghz (trinity and omega) but it still does it. It heats up the quickest playing zen bound it seems. What's the stock gpu clock? I just realized the GPU was set to 446 instead of 416 though, maybe that's the issue... Perhaps I'll try the faux kernel if it does it again. But basically after about 10-20 mins of zen bound it gets up to like 88 degrees or something (maybe hotter, I can't see the temp in game) and then freezes and shuts down.
Update: froze at stock gpu and cpu frequencies... Trying faux and then possibly another kernel. BTW this is with no case or anything.

No it isn't really normal. It usually may heat up a bit above room temperature. How hot would you say it is? I am a big gamer so I play games quite a lot on my nexus 7. I have updated to 4.2.2 as well but it doesn't heat up that much. I haven't really played massive games since I updated though. If it is burning hot it isn't right and could be a fault. Hope I helped.
It gets to 88 degrees, maybe more, and then freezes and/or shuts down.

Does it heat up if you run a benchmark?
If it's only Zen Bound than you know where the problem is but I would be surprised if that is where the problem is.
My advice would be to flash leankernel while you try to figure out the problem. Run it at defaults. Don't even open a cpu tweak program.
Are you running any kind of boot scripts/tweaks?

It may just be zen bound. I flashed the franco kernel and it didn't seem to have as many problems as far as overheating goes, but now it will just freeze at normal temperatures when doing something simple like web browsing. It did that twice today. However, I have Trinity Kernel Toolbox because it shows my cpu temp in the status bar. I'll uninstall that and try the lean kernel.
I forgot to add, no boot scripts or tweaks. It gets semi hot if I run a full benchmark in quadrant, but not anything serious. I've turned the gpu to 700 and cpu to 1700 before without any issues benchmarking in quadrant or geekbench.
It sounds pretty normal at 88 degrees and the whole reboot thing is a known fault, well I know that happens to my Nexus 7. To me it sounds like there is nothing to worry about. I did play zen bound and it was about 80-88 degrees.

[Q] Improve Benchmark Results

Just did a benchmark test on my LG G2 and the results are a bit disappointing. I found a post with tips on improving the Galaxy Ace [GT-5830]AnTuTu Benchmark results discuss here how to improve our devices .
Lest make this a post to improve our LG G2 devices.
I will let my phone be the ginny pig since I see my phone as such a disappointment.
Whatever tips you post. I will do on my phone and then post an update of the results after I done the update.
This way, others can see where the phone improves most and can decide for themselves what changes they should make on theirs to have the results they want.

Make sure you reboot to clear all background processes and let the phone sit truly idle for half an hour or so to make sure it's not going to throttle from heat. Unplug, too. Charging generates heat.

Ok, first I'll let it charge to 100% then I'll reboot it and erase all notifactions. Then let it sit for an hour while I eat dinner. And come back to run the benchmark and update the post. We'll see how much of a difference that makes.
Don't be afraid to run it a couple times back to back. Not sure how true it is anymore, but years ago when 2.0(?) debuted JIT and dalvik cache, people were saying that results improved as the cache and kernel "learned" or improved pre-fetch or some-such. I'm not that deep into it to confirm or deny but I just ran AnTuTu four times back to back and each run improved over the previous. 28k, 30k, 32k, and finally 34k...so the same still seems to hold true.
I let it charge to full capacity through the Battery Doctor app by KS Mobile. I like that app for 2 reasons. 1, cause it tells you how much time til it finishes charging. And 2 cause it has easy access to the battery saving options.
So anyway... after I charged it. I restarted it. Then let it sit for an hour. I ate dinner and started watching a movie.
I restarted it again. Acknowledged and deleted all notifications. Restarted again. And then ran the Antutu Benchmark app again. Then I got the results in this picture.
SEE FIRST ATTATCHMENT
and as I'm typing, I'm running it again.. and the RESULTS BECAME LOWER
SEE SECOND ATTATCHMENT
now... my question is.. how do we keep the G2 running at max performance at all times? not just right after a restart? cause logically after a restart other apps will start running in the background.. even without being in the notifications tray.. is there an app that blocks other apps from running in the background, and only lets them run if you open the app yourself? or is that an idea for someone to create an app like that.. instead of a simple task killer app.. an app that prevents other apps from starting up in the background.. get it ?
Are you unhappy with the subjective performance of the device? Chasing benchmark numbers never ends...

the performance is fine. I just want to get the benchmark numbers better than the Note 3.
android forums dot com /lg-g2/786696-improve-benchmark-results.html#post6221784
I posted exactly the same thing as I have here.. and already two other people are showing better stats than the Note 3.
So I figure there has to be a way to push my phone to its max potential.. I want to know how to do it.
Its only logical to want to get the most out of a phone no matter which one it is.. we all pay a substantial price for them, right?
Gotcha. Wait until the developer kernels start popping up. Combine with AOSP and profit. I have no doubt that all the LG overhear, even without the obvious bloatware, is holding us back significantly.
I'm benching above the N3 and just running Malladus one.one.seven...
I dont get it.. I just woke up.. tossed aside the notifications.. and ran the benchmark.. to my surprise its showing over 34k..

I ran the Antutu Benchmark again today.. just now.. and the numbers just keep on getting higher and higher..

Chess benchmark

Hi all
Can you perform chess benchmark as done on other devices- just install droidfish chess app, set Threads to 6 (in app settings). Then, on initial board position press M->Analysis Mode. See knps number as shown at the bottom of screen. Can it pass and sustain 1000knps?

Does it reach 1150k immediately or after few minutes? Snap 810 on lg flex performed 1069k....
Can you post screenshot after 1 minute?

1104 peak after 2.30 mins at 6 it sat at 1028 hovered there for most of it but did drop down to 980ish for a sec about half way thru

BTW, during test, does board responsive or does it lag when trying to move the pieces?

There was some lag just after taking screenshots but non otherwise btw i took a ss just often enough to keep the phone awake

Just to be sure: Without taking screenshots, under Analysis mode on 6 cores when you try to move pieces, there is no lag at all? If so, that is awesome.
(I observe significant lag on my note 3 in such case..)

I didnt notice a big enough delay to call it lag more like the cpu thinking while it performs over 1000 other moves a second in the background its less than half a second on mine

Seeing a peak around 1045. Interesting benchmark.

I actually meant does it "playable" or responsive enough to move pieces when it under analysis mode...

You couldnt play a proper game that would get frustrating but itwas showing a response within half a second

This was after 1 minute. Didn't feel any lag when playing with the analysis mode on and 6 cores.
Out of my own curiosity i tried this on my note 1 and no matter how many threads i use it is rendered catatonic and about 4 secs later it reboots

Aldo on my Note 3 its bad...when trying to move pieces / press on bottoms - it lags severly..not responsive. When i use komodo engine it freezes and i also need to reboot...

Since it seems like this is a heavy test I assume it gets hot and throttles a bit like any phone. But overall I noticed the G4 doesn't get burning hot, even when playing high end games at 100% brightness.
According to ampere after 30mins real racing 3 my battery is about 48c but the phone doesnt feel hot maybe call it fairly warm

If this is what you want..I'm a chess master and this is the highest that I've ever come across..and no this is nor an LG device.
