Reduced GPU when battery 20% or lower - Honor Play Questions & Answers

Hi. Probably not only me having that issue. When battery goes to 20% or lower smarthphone reduces it's GPU power and battery usage. Games became inplayable. I tried to find right settings and fix it but without a result.
I tried to switch off that Battery Optimilization (google-> "How to turn off battery optimization on Huawei devices" (I'm a new user and cannot post links) but with no improvement.
Is there any way to fix it? Must be some fabric setting.

Strange battery isue with CM7.2

I'm using temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD 130 + temasek default kernel. Every time then my battery percentage reaches 20-30 % phone shuts down. with battery monitor tool i see huge battery percentage drop. then i turn on phone, battery percentage gets back to where it should be (screenshot attached).
is there anyone having same issue and knows how to fix it?
Boot into the recovery menu and wipe the battery stats. Or download the battery calibration app, let your phone charge to 100% and then calibrate it.

Wiping battery stats has no effect on the battery life. Diane Hackborn, an Android Developer, has elaborated on this matter on Google+.
I guess you have "Pimp My CPU" running and it is set up to save battery when reached 30% or 20%. It would do so by clocking down CPU, undervolting or both. Your Device seems not to like low Voltage, slow clockspeeds or both and shuts down.
If you have not set up Pimp My CPU yourself, your kernel is maybe set up to do just that.
Set Pimp My CPU up manually to not go to the lowest possible clockspeeds and to not UV.

[Q] Which Governor/s to deal with heat

Hello,
A friend of mine is using the phone for facebook/whatsapp only and he really hates the heat from the phone
I guess those apps don't need the CPU to be at max freq so my question is:
Which Governor / Cpuquiet Governor to provide the least heat and an a reasonable performance for those apps?
Interactive or ondemand governor and lowering max frequency to 860 MHz should extend battery life and reduce heating while keeping the phone running smooth in those apps. For gaming turn back to original frequency.
Alternatively, min frequency to 860 MHz and powersave governor, but the first option is better, I think.
Thanks for your reply I set the max CPU to 910 but I don't know what to use out of the three governors:"abssplug , interactive , ondemand"
I set the max CPU to 910 but I don't know what to use from those three governors: "abyssplug, interactive, ondemand"
I don't know the first. Interactive and ondemand are working similarly - they reduce frequency when max isn't needed, to extend battery. I recommend you to use one of them.
Hi Community
I have installed last stable (3.1 from 3.07.2014) version of LiquidSmooth and Mourty's kernel 3.1.10. I would be extremely happy, because I have never seen this phone working so smooth and fast, however I have two major problems:
- can't change preferred network option, there is only 3G to choose, I actually need 2G. May that be operator's (O2 in UK) fault?
- second problem is even bigger. It takes 9 hours to discharge 100% battery to 0 when I'm not using the phone at all (0 calls, 0 texts, 0 wifi, no gps... just laying on the table with everything switched off). On the CM or stock ROM I had completely normal battery life.
My settings:
CPU speed: 51000 - 1150000
Governor abyssplug
Cpuquiet Governor balanced

Please I really need your help as at the moment phone disconnected from the charger becomes useless...
Ondemand- when in idle the phone is on the lowest frequency. When in use, it is at the max frequency.
Interactive- is a scaling governor that scales the CPU frequency based on the load. Its possible that this will allow the CPU to stay at lower frequency with screen on thereby saving a little battery.
Abyssplug- is a hotplugging governor that scales the CPU frequency AND number of cores active based on the load.
I suggest using abyssplug with the "balanced" CPU_Quiet governor (CPU_Quiet determines how many cores are active at any given time) to save battery.
To reduce heat, you can underclock your CPU to 1.3ghz and undervolt your CPU based on your CPU variant. Also I've noticed that replacing the crappy lg battery also reduced heat since the lg battery is covered in plastic and does not dissipate heat very well
Also what kernel are you on?

Thanks for answers mates. Right now battery draining when phone should be in deep sleep is 10% per hour. over 70% of that is used by kernel, however I have reinstalled kernel yesterday and it didn't help at all. The strange thing is that when the phone is switch to plane mode it doesn't drain energy at all, 1% per few hours. I would understand that if the draining would be described as searching for GSM singal, but it's not, that's another 28% of battery usage. So there is definitely something wrong with gsm signal.

ok look ;; 1 format system-data -cache
2 wipe dalvik cache
3 instal rom
4 wipe data/factory reset
5 wipe cache partition
6 instal gaps
7 instal kernel
8 reboot
when the phone open ggo and download Uucleaner and tik almost everything ... .do it and come back to report . i loose 2% all night

hi
I have also that phone and i am not happy. Why is very hot. And also the battery is crap. Is logic for battery do not take long time, because the heat it means energy . Its caloric energy you lose. I want to try to lower the frecvency of cpu to 1000 . But ... Its like i have an MERCEDES car and the engine is not good( low power and higher consumption on 100 km). I am not recomand that phone. The chinesse phone for ex with mtk cpu is more good. It is a fix for this? I see here in the forum a guy who put siliconic vasseline on cpu. Maybe a cooler , like on the pc . Shame of you lg. My friend have the same phone and like mine have the same problem with heat and also the left corner of display is unglue i think because of heat. If you put the phone in light and look not straight , in upper corner its like on samsung s3 phones for ex , when the special gel between display and touch is damage. You have a problem like this with the display?

That's what I felt about it before I undervolted CPU by -135 mV and LP cores by -75 mV, underclocked to 1300 mhz.
The technology this chipset uses is the problem here.LG did a fine job with keeping phone cool in stock kernel, though stock performance is not compareable with custom ROM/kernels as customized ones have better performance.1300 mhz is fine though, unless you play heavy games such as real racing 3 with many bots around, you won't feel the difference between 1300 mhz and 1500 mhz.
re
I see what is the problem with my phone with temperature. First i want to tell you about someone on forum who open the phone and see how the producer (LG) make the cooling. On the motherboard in the cpu zone it is a metalic sponge who make the transfer of the temperature with the metalic plate inside the phone. It is the same plate you see on the back when you take the battery. So, in his case and mine the problem is this sponge dont make very good connections with the metallic plate. WHy? Because ( in my case) , the lcd in the top is not glue very good, the tape double adesive is open. I think in time because of heating , the tape is opened. What do you must to do? If you can not make , put someone who repair the phone .So, you must to put some termal paste like pc cpu , or put a small aluminium plate, between cpu and the big plate inside the phone. That it. Ony if you have problem with the temperature like me. For ex . yesterday , without termal paste my cputemp it was max 60 degrese. Now , after modification i have i game and cpu stress app max 39 degrese. I am very happy now, but i must to rezolve also the problem with the bettery drainage. Maibe i must to change the battery. If you want to speak and put answers you found me on facebook cgamberea , or [email protected]. Sorry for my english, i am from Romania.

[Q] CPU running at high clock most of the time

Updated section:
After clearing cache through recovery and doing a hard reset, the uAh has gone back to 3142000. Standby time seems good with the battery losing 7% overnight. It does charge quite quickly from 0-100 in about 2h. The previous heating issue remains with cpu monitors showing that the cpu jumps to high clock when I touch the screen. I don't see any change in which apps use the most battery with the screen taking up the most as before the problem started.
The heat appears to be what is draining the battery but I can't find any single app that causes it to ramp to max.
Pictures:
No-frills is set to stock settings to see how the phone handles the actions
2nd picture is when phone is idle
3rd picture is immediately after swiping through a few tabs and scrolling through some pages in the app which causes cpu clock and load to increase
Old sectionFor when battery uAh was low)
I've had this Z1 for about 11 months. I can only get around 2.5h on screen time with regular usage. The battery uAh was only 1848000 Recently it fell to the 1700s. Calibration appears to reduce the value further. The phone seems to heat up in about a minute or two no matter what app is running.
The phone is rooted on stock 4.4.2
I have tried updating to Lollipop before but received an error due to rooting, so I don't think anything changed.

sounds like it's time for you to replace your battery.
You may try to disable the "input boost frequency"
By default when you toch the screen, cpu frequency of two cores instantly jumps to around 1400 to preventing any lag but it seems to use more power and causing heat
I have disables this and since then I'm no longer have any heat issue and also the battery life is so much better now but you may exprience a little lag while scrolling on heavy web pages but thats all
Btw i'm on .157 and using Kernel Adiutor for cpu tweaks
You may disable this by the app mentioned above or by editing sys.somc.touch_perf_kick=1 from 1 to 0 in buid.prop or adding this line

Lag,audio bug, reset

Using simple system monitor, I've figured out that my phone starts turning off big cores most of the time and only uses small cores when it has less than 66% battery, and becomes more agresive at less battery, and also it reduces the voltage to the cores, this Is the main cause of the lag and also audio bug and big consumption apps will reset the phone because of this, some people here say that changing battery fixes this problem, could anyone confirm?

Not removing thermal throttle, but increasing thereshold? (PerfZ bug)

A month ago or so, i had this random period of time where perfZ started to show "-" for temperature ( i assume its gpu temperature because it doesnt match with battery or cpu temp from another app) and my phone was heating up much more in games but so was the performance was way better.
Normally after thermal throttling kicks in and device reaches heat equilibrium, my battery would sit around 38-39C, cpu at 42-43C. But in that time period where it showed "-", my equilibrium was battery sitting at 44C, cpu at 47-48C. Phone was considerably hotter to touch but you could still game on it. And performance was way better, it would fall to 50fps min instead of 40fps, which is very noticable. (Dont have exact numbers maybe a bit better)
Idk how this happened as it randomly happened one day but does anyone know how to make this work? My device isnt rooted. (s10+ exy)
(Small note: Using game plugins at max performance or custom doesnt help, maybe they arent optimised for dead by daylight, because thats the only game i play)
