Force Gpu Rendering - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Have you guys checked it? Any performance boost?
I've seen online that it speeds up the s6

I haven't.
Wouldn't it decrease battery life? Also, what performance boost do you think you may get by turning it on?
I ask because performance on my device is great, and my battery life is amazing as well.

For some, it's a minor increase but battery life decreases. Also, with it turned on, the s7 gets really hot

Battery Save app

For you What is best app for Battery saving? Sorry for my English
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Power saving mode of n2 with greenify. If you want best battery be on 4.1.2 rom with perseus kernel. Unmatched combo
greenify
Im using greenify too.. it works with 4.4.2 too..
It's worth trying xposed receiver stop and boot manager with greenify as well

Greenify is great

my theory is to don't use power saving apps, I use the built -in power saver, automatic screen brightness, when I exit an app or game I remove it from the recent list, if im in a place with no signal I turn airplane mode on. If I dont need internet I turn off the wifi/data.
power saving mode is great always.. give a try to DU battery saver if u are not rooted. It works pretty well for. Add the cleaner widgte to your screen which helps clearing the RAM with a tap..
Greenify Donation. Its worth it. I don't care what ROM it is battery life is great as long as I wipe internal SD before flash

Greenify, without a doubt a benchmark of battery saving applications.

Hey,
are there any proofs that Greenify increases battery life? Any benchamarks? Comparisions?
Or just illusion?
Like apps to increasing performance, they are ruining it. (i will reccomend here LagFix app

Why don't you try using it and see for yourself. There's nothing better than doing it for yourself rather than relying on somebody else, no?
Benchmark you are referring to is some what, stupid. I am pertaining to a benchmark which elevates the standard of battery saving or performance enhancing.

I did, and to be honest i did'nt noticed the difference, maybe it's just me.
It's not stupid, there's a way to do that.
Greenify should share theirs results to public, if they saying it will increase your battery then prove it! Show me the results. Im that kind of person.
Take care

You base performance and battery life with benchmark applications? LOL

Yeah, why not? It's giving you some reference point.
One option is to install a good kernel for your ROM and configures it to consume little energy (UV)

Undervolting is still controversial. I used to do the same but also tried stock settings and have even or better battery life.

greenify is the best battery saving app plus you need to remove unwanted apps cz they may be eating battery..mobile data eats battery no one can help you there it's always better to use wifi when it's available..
First of all I would recommend to change the kernel. If you're on version 4.3 or lower Pegasus Kernel provides the best ratio between performance and battery drain.
It's much better than using a task killer.
I tried both, but any task killer isn't quite comfortable, because it closes tasks you may need. And also white listing isn't always an option. Nevertheless you'll have performance lags as soon as the cache is cleaned. Any app has to reload its processes anew.

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?

Oh, and when phone is idle, the cpu is 42°C and battery is 32°
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This is normal the g2 is a very powerful phone without a fan eventually phones will have to have small fans and phones may be noisier than today's phones

I know that, but it tends to get hot very fast, a couple of minutes heavy tasking and its already throttling
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..

Best cpu settings for performance and battery span?

I attached picture of synapse below with my current cpu settings and my question is is it good enough for performance and battery saving and can I do it even better?
I have android l with unleashed kernel
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
only you know as we all use our devices differently. there is no such thing as best setting. since we all use our devices differently, best settings would depend on your usage. thats for performance and for battery.
I would recommend bumping up the screen off frequency one notch because with 500mhz, some music playing applications like tune in radio skip occasionally.

does fast charging decrease the life of a battery?

Will using fast charging decrease the life of my battery?
Will my battery life shorten compared to using regular charging?
I bet it will.

It's probably not a big effect. Fast charging backs off to normal when the battery is like half full to protect it.
Even if it did, just replace the battery.

Battery Drain?

I recently purchased the s7. I'm experiencing battery drain though.
I was a 100% in the morning and after light gaming, time checking, and Internet browsing (all of this for around 45 min added up) the phones at 45%.
Is this normal, or is it because the phone is still setting up, or what?
Sent from my SM-G930P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Could be. Although shouldn't drain that much. I streamed bt from Spotify for about 6 hours today and was only at 52% afterwards. Have u updated to newest version of software? Sammy says they optimised some battery draining processes. Try updating and clearing cache.
Sent from my SM-G930P using XDA-Developers mobile app
That's bad enough I would do a full reset before I updated then reset again after and see if that fixes it.
Same issue today. Will reset and check what happens
Sent from my SM-G930P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I didn't have HUGE battery drain, but it's certainly eye-opening on coming from a Droid MAXX. however, I did notice a lot of geegaws turned on by default, like the screen timer and the NFC and several sprint apps. I tweaked around, and switched to nova-launcher and that seems to have helped.
I just did a factory reset. After light gaming this morning for 15min, I'm at 95%. Before I would be at 85%.
And now, the phone doesn't overheat in my pocket.
