As we can see in many forums, people like to overclock their phone to increase It's performance although overclock can increase battery live and may broke their phone. I think the increased performance can only be felt through benchmark software. The effect on the apps is almost negligible specially on high end phone (like our Note). Why do you overclock your phone and use overclock on daily usage (I understand if the reason of overclocking phone is for satisfaction) ?
Never saw the slightest reason to overclock my phone.
Emulators and because I cannot resist getting extra performance. My captivate was a beast OCed.
Some people don't get it others do...like everything in life. Some don't get how we can live with a phone this big but we do...

On GB (LC2) I overclocked to 1.6gHz and it made everything run smoother (screen transitions, opening and closing apps etc.
On ICS I haven't felt the need to OC. It runs super smooth and fast as it is.
But maybe I'll get bored some time in the future and do it just for something to do...
I'm on stock GB LC1 CF rooted and I OC to 1.55.
Differences when I open apps. They open faster. And not that huge battery life drain because cpu stays at 1.55 a little time and for me the faster app opening matters
*only 2% at 1.55 (not even 1h from 40) - with CpuSpy

Its not bout whether its "important" or not... Its more like, If you can...then why not!? I did overclock my sgnote till 1.6ghz at 1.7 it would reboot.
Its like gettin more for less
Just as Overclock with your desktop, some take a step further by changing heatsink, better ventilation, water cooling, etc.
Exactly, its just free power and if you are not dumb, you are not going to kill anything. This is not the dark ages of overclocking and those fears people seem to still carry from those times.
Take for example on GB running 1.6Ghz Nenamark2 scores me about 34fps or so..Damn close to my record with the Captivate which is 33.5! Then I ran 400Mhz on the GPU and boom..53fps...that is some kick ass gains there. While I will probably run 300Mhz mostly, if I find a game that needs the extra performance, I know I have it there so why not use it.

Very true.
On my desktop I have an Intel i5 2500k (original 3300 MHz) OC to 4500 for daily use and when needed 5 GHz.
From 1 year and a half the CPU runs like this and never had any stability issue. And my PC kinda stays on A LOT.
So yes, we don't live in the dark ages of overclocking. Why people STILL HAVE FEAR OF OC!?
These days OC is very easy. Most of the times you can't broke a device / component from OC, because the "drivers" of some microcontrollers from your motherboard won't let you (a lot of protection these days )
Indeed. Plus if you are too afraid then dont push higher voltage, just OC with stock voltage as much as your CPU can do.
Hello,
I have a peculiar problem with my OnePlus Two
The faster A57 cores don't get activated, I have tried using Antutu, played Asphalt 8 And NFS NL for hours.
But the cores just won't get triggered
I'm using A1 CPU tool to monitor the same.
Even CPU Z wouldn't show me any activity on the other 4 cores while Antutu was running.
Any ideas? It's brand new can be returned

I just installed A1 CPU to verify your issue.
It shows cores 0,1,2,3,4 are used at 1344ghz for me as well.
When i check with synapse (i'm on AK kernel) it shows all cores are used.
I guess it's a limitation with A1 CPU tool. Try with other tool that supports such architecure.
I was sceptical on the same but, out of the box I remembered seeing 1777 MHz frequencies.
Thanks a lot
I shall try more tools and get back.
Though I think if you're on a different kernel and had the A1 CPU tool been correct it would be redundant, Because core allocation would be done on kernel level (in my knowledge).

I know that it was already discussed but maybe someone has found a solution.
The problem is that performance of device gradually decreases proportionally to the level of the battery.
For example:
- battery is 90%, Real Racing 3 runs perfectly,
- battery is 45%, some lags appear during gameplay
- battery is 10%, heavily FPS drop, almost impossible to play
Battery saver is turned off, device is cold in all tests.
If I would like to save my battery level - I will turn on battery saver manually,
but I WANT to have good game experience not depending on battery level
This is really crazy.
Tested on stock OOS 2.1.1, with stock kernel, with Boeffla an AK, tested on Exodus ROM - everywhere I can see this weird behaviour.
May be some system files must be edited to overcame this issue?

Hi Jemcik, hi Denhot!
I'm facing the same issues on my new device and it's definately not normal!
With a battery level of 19% I was not able to get the 4 A57 cores online, which results in lower system performance. Have you found a solution?
@Denhot!
Maybe we should rename the thread into: IS OPT PERFORMANCE REALLY DEPENDENT ON BATTERY STATUS AND IS IT A ROM FEATURE OR AN ISSUE!?
I think, one of the kernel devs should be able to answer this question.

It looks like some system configuration files with kernels activation policy have to be edited,
but I haven't found yet which files exactly.

I've never experienced such a function!
CPU power depending on battery voltage!? 62k with full battery, 49k with 20% battery both with same CPU temps!
Hopefully not a general problem on our side with the motherboard Voltage Regulator or something.
Have you been to a kernel thread and asked this question? If not, I will ask this in AK's kernel thread. Maybe he knows more about it!
The 4 high performance cores will only be activated when needed. What app are you using to check the core usage? Every now and then you should see 2 of the high performance cores sometimes coming to life every now and then, with the other 4 power efficent cores being more busy. Use CPU-Z to check.
Due to the way Oxygen OS's stock kernel works, only 2 of the high performance cores will ever be active, alternating between the 4 cores in an attempt to keep the phone cool and not throttle as often. If you want all 4 high performance cores to be active as well as overclocking it back to its original speeds, you'll need to flash a custom kernel.

Hi,
would like to share I don't have a similar experience, with NFS NL or Asphalt, phone was consistent with no lags even when it got unbearable to hold.
I as playing and simultaneously screen mirroring over to a TV.
Going from 65 to 25% over a long course.
I normally won't let my battery fall below 20%.
So the thing about Li-ion/pro is that as you go lower voltage decreases so to provide same power draw current increases.
Basically it would heat up faster.
That can be a reason combined with that their might be inbuilt measures to save battery like you said, nor as an engineer I would recommend you to stress your phone at those levels.
I can't explain the lag at 45%, didn't find it might try real racing 3 later to check.

This is consistent with what I've noticed. The time It didn't, a simple reboot helped solve it and it hasn't occurred since.
Also these tools can't monitor the other cores, if you're rooted why not try synapse as helkat suggested

Thanks man!
I know how the S810 should work!
But I thought the performance issues have only to do with the temps. But now it seems it have also to do with the battery level.
It would be good if someone tries to reproduce the following to verify it:
1. One run Antutu benchmark with fully charged battery and room cool temps.
To be sure the conditions are the same, shut the display off for one or two minutes, than start display again, kill all recent apps and run Antutu test and note the results.
2. Than wait or do something until your battery is down to 20%, shut the display off for the same time, kill recent apps and start Antutu test run again and compare the results.
I've also tried the same after a reboot, with always the same results.
With 100% I get scores between 60 and 66k and with lower capacity (20%) I get only 48 till 50k!
I am not interested about the benchmark results, but I need to know if this only occurs on my side.

So, guys!
I have tested it the last few weeks and it is a fact that the performance in benchmarks is dependent by the battery level.
We have tested it with 3 devices and it is always the same.
But thank God, it seems on the devices perfomance themselves (in apps/ui) this has no effect!
But each one can replicate this behavior very easy!

I have the same issue! When battery level goes lower than 20%, my A57 kernels become offline. I checked this with CPU-Z and PerfMon. And this is the same on stock or custom kernel. Now I am using Boeffla kernel. The most frustrating is that my UI suffer from this. I have lot of lags in simple apps, such as calculator or some messengers.
Same issue here, there are threads in one plus forums.
I think the threashold level is at 40 % ?? They made this to keep the battery up. You can also see faster battery drop till the 40-30% mark then it is harder to kill the battery.
I am also dissapointed in this, maybe we can search the kernel sources ? Or is there a daemon app that triggers this?
I received the phone with 20%-30% battery, started an antutu knowing how powerfull 810 chip is, then boom 45k same as the previos phone i had with 801 chipset...i was like what the fxck....runing antutu again with full battery - 66k.
well i have run benchmark in back ground with few game and apps .. and checked with cpuz max that i have notice was around 50-60% cpu load still 2 off those a57 cores were off using this device for 2-3 days it always turns off 2 cores for me rest 6 is working most of the time :/ Even in battery saver mode .. i am not sure if this is a cpuz issue as i have not rooted my device yet so cant say properly ..
Also i face some freq. benchmark issue like in benchmark it scores around single core - 690 multicore - 2.6K .. and if i restarts device it scores normal - 1.1K and 4.5K .. i have no idea whats wrong with this :/
20% Battery Mark
The drop in performance at 20% Battery is standard behavior of the Rom and Stock Kernel. The Big Cluster (A57) is completly shut down to save Battery. If you dont want this you have to use a custom Kernel which is able to switch this Battery saving strategy off. Boeffla Kernel for example can do that.
Read http://www.anandtech.com/show/9828/the-oneplus-2-review/2.
They "optimized" the soc.....
No they just turned off some cores so there is no heat problem.
So I think this is my first and latest oneplus.
they've hit the mark! What the hell, i think they must be sued for false marketing. Its just like buying a car with 400 hp and those hp are only there when i'm parked or listen to music, if i'm on the highway or on the ridge the car has 100 hp...wtf :|

Calm down lol it's actually good on their part. Shutting down A57 cores on low battery is a good thing because the A53 cores use much lesser battery. If you're out on a trip and have 10% battery, with the A57 cores this will probably drain off within an hour of intermittent usage. When only the A53 cores are active, the battery life will increase greatly.
Companies design phones for average users, not just gamers. If you don't want this feature, root your phone, flash boeffla's kernel and disable the BCL Battery Driver. It's as simple as that
Is it safe to change my CPU governor to "performance" to force max clock speed?
I don't want to overclock my Note 4, don't worry, not talking about that. But I am talking about MAX clocking it - forcing it to run at maximum rated speed. I've already tested out SetCPU and used it to change my governor to performance which forces the clock to max, and it nearly doubled my framerate in many games, especially the ones that struggled to play on this device like Xcom:EW.
But I quickly turned it off because I wasn't sure it was safe to do in the new era of smartphones, what with their DVFS and all. I'm worried that I'm going to overheat the CPU, and it's not going to be able to downclock because of temperature anymore. I'm only modifying the governor, but what if I actually used SetCPU to just change the CPU clock to max, without even touching the governor?
Can I hurt my phone by doing this? Can I safely start forcing my CPU to run faster while playing games, knowing that the only thing I risk is my battery draining faster, or am I actually risking damaging components by doing this?
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
your CPU will not be damaged, but the battery life time will be shorted.

I personally have used Performance governor on Moto X 2013 for almost the whole 8 months I had it, 24x7 I mean. Never had a problem, yeah maybe battery life was little less than normal but I never did really care about it. Then I ran the same governor for a good period of time on my Note 3 too, same, no problem at all. Like you said, in games the frame rate difference is massive, but I don't play much games, I simply used that governor because it gets rid off all those micro lags and jitters which are Android's trademark, I simply can't them, with default Interactive the micro lags are very apparent.
However with Note 4 I am pretty happy with the BluActive governor, it makes most of the micro lags to go away, so sticking with it.
In any case unless you plan to use a mobile phone for maybe 5 years or so, I don't see any problem at all with it, other than a slightly increased heat, and maybe a little less battery backup, but you will find so many comments which might scare you, that chip burns off if you run it and all that, but those mainly are BS.
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Xiaomi Poco F1 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

The phone substantially remains cooler than other smartphones even flagship phones like the one plus 6. A pubg gameplay comparison for an hour with the one plus 6 showed that the Poco f1 was 2°C cooler than the one plus 6. This is because of the liquid cooling inside Poco f1 which helps reducing heat improving performance, which definitely doesn't come in any other budget range smartphones.
I'd say it does get warm but gets cool faster
After running benchmark tests, it got to the temperature of 43 degrees as per battery stats but got cooler within 2-3 minutes.
I don't know if this temperature is substantial but it felt substantial to my hands!

I have installed CPU MONITOR app from playstore, so I could see while installing all the playstore apps (moving from old device to Poco) the CPU temp was running between 45-50c. Now while no installations happening CPU shows 35-40c and unit feels pretty cold, not warm as before, so its good. I guess intense of apps installations indeed can cause a heat, oneplus 5t also had certain heat but i think it was less heat than poco during such case of intense playstore apps installations. But, perhaps could be SD845 gets more warm then SD835 in such cases.
Another thing which isnt clear, when you plug the charger it doesnt say if its quick charge mode or regular charge, I really expect Poco devs to get this one fixed, should be an easy fix.
Hi there, what are the normal high temperatures for the CPU under load? Mine is adleing around 40c but on the 15 min Antutu stress-test it was peaking above 90 and it was really hot around the back camera. It is with the latest 9.6.18. Is it normal or I got an defect unit. Thanks.

Try some heavy games which uses Wi-Fi like PUBG Mobile or any alike. If you are getting temps above 45 (given that you have ambient temp 25-35), then you should be worried
My phone is also running hot, even at rest the temperature is high, liquid is just a marketing tactic i guess as it's doing nothing. Oneplus at the same ambient temperature is running a lot cooler. Problem is now i can't return it.

Camera fire
the phone gets quite hot during the use of the camera. 10 minutes of using the camera for a photo with the AI turned off causes it to heat up to 50 degrees Celsius. It also consumes a lot of battery power. For the first time I see that the use of the camera was on a load comparable to the game in Pubg

You're really gonna want to check that out. Even laptop's processors are considered hot when it hits 80. It's definitely you don't want to keep around since it will damage other components like the battery.
With intensive gaming for 2hour or so mine only gets as high as 42c
it heats up to concern levels even on various custom roms , speciall when screen brightness is to max
Hi All, I got the POCO F1 today. CPUZ shows core temps beyond 53 degrees Centigrade. Quite warm! Battery temp 43 deg C. I am on Android 10 stock.

Phone still gets too hot if playing game in a long hours; PUBG (Max Setting) plus live streaming using Omlet Arcade apps, and i also encounter frame drop once temperature reach 47 degree C, using Tencent Version 12GB-Ram (China ROM). Armoury Crate for China ROM doesnt have "Temperature Control" option at "Scenario Profiles" , soo maybe this is the problem? Not sure.
The rest of the user(s), please share ur thoughts and experience over here!
Pubg at hdr/extreme is the only time temps crossed 44°C. Didn't notice any throttling still. When comparing side by side with my friend's OnePlus 7T, the heat & frame drops are almost similar in everygame. Using the back cover, I could feel the warmth, but not at all uncomfortable.
Weirdly Dota Underloads at max settings was the most taxing with the highest battery drain & most frame drops, but still didn't touch 47°C. It's the Indian variant and ambient temperature was 30°C throughout.
area around the vent heats up easily during gaming. prone to game* crash due to overheating when running max gpu for extended periods of time with no ventilation(was also testing game genie livestream function tho). recommend putting some kind of case that covers the frame adjacent to the vent area for minimum discomfort.
3/10 when gpu maxed. 6~7ish when moderate load
*game is honkai impact 3 if you want to know. late-game content burns the gpu at max graphics

Try playing pubg max setting and stream (using live stream app) or screen recording, u'll notice phone will get hot and temperature will hit 47 degree C.
Are u on WW ROM or CN ROM? Cause CN ROM doesn't have any temperature control at armoury crate

WW. Yes, it heats up quickly while streaming at hdr/extreme. Touches 46°C after 35mins. Pretty sure I'll feel the heat if I remove the back cover. I'm not surprised though, since my acer nitro 7 heats up while recording pubgM at hdr, let alone streaming. Streamers might have to turn on the air-conditioner.

Guys, ROG2 is design for heavy user gaming WITH AeroActive COOLER fan !, this parts is not include with 8GB Tencent version (Which why come with cheaper price).
For you have HEAT problem and don't have AeroActive COOLER fan,should consider buying this parts.
I am able to stream vainglory at full settings and aerocooler on and it stays at 41°c or so. The heat is never unbearable and have yet to have any game ever really drop frames to the point it was noticed. I mean 115 frames or 120 is not a big deal. I am using the worldwide version with 12gb ram and played vainglory while streaming for ~2 hours. The note 10+ was noticable in frame drops as it went from 60 to ~40 with the same setup. The heat dissipation is done quite well as far as I can see. Also the aero active cooler at max setting for the game profiles help a lot. Also charging it while doing the same thing will however make it much worse with the heat but still not hard enough on the cpu/gpu to cause concern .
I can confirm that Armoury Crate (Temperature Option) for CN & WW ROM does make the different for gameplay; Once i played PUBG with max setting and applied the temperature setting from WW armoury crate, i never encounter any frame drop once temperature hit 47 degree C.
I mean the armoury crate is not a gimmick and note that i didnt put on my active cooler when playing PUBG
