Hello!
I'm using Z3+ with latest firmware on it (downloaded it with wi-fi). I've mentioned terrible thing, as i suppose. When I browse internet, and watch youtube while charging the phone, the average processor temperature is 55-60, but it sometimes rises to 76 and than drops down.
Tell me please, is that normal temperature for the phone processor? Won't it harm the processor or another phone components?
Thanks!
The heat is wasted energy, most CPU are inefficient and generate heat.
I have a Z2 and a Z3+ (and previously iPhones for 5 years) - the Zs are definitely "hot" compared to the iPhones but the melting point of silicon and solder is quite high (maybe 150C or more).
Remember the days when laptops were too hot to put on your lap? Those machines still work fine today.
So I don't think the device will be harmed from internal heat (aside from more quickly revealing dry joints perhaps) but it may feel warm in your hand compared to other phones. The way I hold mine, I barely notice, all the heat is in an area above my hand. I only notice if the phone was working hard and then I put it straight in my pocket.
FWIW both the Z2 and Z3+ shutdown the camera app after about 30 minutes continuous 1080P recording, however using alternate apps (Better Camera, Google Camera) I have been able to record 1080P for an hour before I got bored and stopped it.
My Z2 records 4K for about 5 minutes, my Z3+ records 4K for about 15 minutes.
It's only the native camera app shuts down to cool off, I guess the image processing works the SoC harder than alternate apps/api.
tl;dr - yes I think it's normal and things won't hurt the silicon and solder until 150 celsius or more - the phone would become unstable first anyway as the CPU mis-computes due to heat.
I think it doesen't matter because it may be occur but if it dont hamper your device then no need to worry about this .Some device like
modem ,laptop and other smart device become heat for a long time use .Thats why dont worry .
i heard that the huawei p9 has their unique overheat protection feature which if the phone gets hot the phone will lower its performance level. is there any way to disable this, my phone gets slow even if its not that hot. i cant play games for too long because it lags after a few mins of playing. i hope huawei makes this feature optional

Its not a unique feature of the P9, all the CPUs (meaning Desktops computers, Laptops computers, Phones, Tablets, etc.) and also all GPUs (Nvidia cards, AMD cards, MALI, Rouge, etc.), but in general all electronic components will lower their performance if they get too hot. This is called "Thermal Throttling". All components have a maximum working temperature, if you get close to that temperature you might experience glitches or artifacts, nothing permanent, but if you get past the Maximum temperature, you will experience heavy glitching and artifacting, crashes and heavy instability of the system, causing permanent damage too.
So to answer your question, no, you cannot disable the overheating safety feature, and there will also won't be an implementation of a switch for this feature, simply because it would kill your device.
The only solution is to better cool the phone, or reduce the heat, the first is not really a great solution, the second one would require downvolting/downclocking both the CPU and GPU, both of which require a Custom Kernel. As of right now, there are none, so you are stuck the way you are.

thank you for your response, but my p9 antutu benchmark score is 99k to 65k real quick when performing the 2nd try. isnt that too much? btw when i downclock my phone does it reduce the overheating but still give the same performance?

Yes, that is a huge drop, but mine behaves similarly. When you downclock your phone you reduce the clock of the processor, which means it needs less electricity to work, which also means that it generates less heat. But reducing the clock of the processor means reducing its performance too, so no, it wouldn't keep the same performance.

i havent seen any phone that lowers its brightness when overheating, but the p9 does this and then lowers its performance sometimes even if my phone isnt that hot, it looks like a feature to me but im not sure, i hope that this is really a feature cuz if it is, theres a chance to fix it
Hello all
I've got an idea. Since I didn't find any kind of thread about this subject, I was thinking to create one where you all can share your temperatures and what are you doing or using when you measure your oneplus 5 temps.
You can install CPU-Z or Aida64. There are a lot of parameters but I think the most important is the battery and a sort of average of the others.
For instance, I'm using XDA app to write this post and have Instagram and Facebook messenger opened in background.
My temps are:
-> battery 31.8°
-> average of the rest: 36°/37°
After this moment I kept those apps opened and started to watch an Anime stream on kissanime with chrome.
->battery 34°
-> average of the rest 39°/40°
Have fun
And what is the point of this? BTW without ambient temperature all collected data are unusable.
I dont see the point either. Anything below 50°C is to be considered low anyway.
I understand your points.
The idea was to have something where people can share their temps a see if there is or not a possibility for their phone to overheating.
I might be a little apprehensive about my temps, sometimes I think that my phone is a little hotter than it should be.
However, if you think that this thread is bad, I kindly ask to somebody with permissions to delete it.
Ahh my ambient temperature when I measure those values was about 22°/23°
There are so many variables, that you can't say what is normal temperature and what temperature it should have. Do you hold it in your hand? You will get higher temp. Is sun shining on your phone? Higher temp. Do you often use camera? Higher temp.... Unless you encounter extremes, you can't decide what temperature is normal. If you think, that something is wrong, it's better to start with collecting better stats of battery consumption, because excesive heat is consequence of another problem.
I've been slacking a bit playing around with other things. It can be hard fully putting the watch thru it's paces inside the BB 14-day return window!
For AOD I will say I was disappointed initially. But I found with lower OPR% (~25% or less) if you crank the brightness above 6 or 7 it's decent. For OPR% in the high 30's and above (lighter & brighter faces, orange/white/silver/etc), I posted a workaround that I'm satisfied with or I'd be returning (otherwise such faces are barely visible in dim mode).
How are people finding the accuracy of GPS, and distance on runs?
What about heart rate accuracy when walking/jogging/lifting or other exercise? I tested vs. a BPM cuff and finger PulseOx, and it seems very accurate when sitting still.
What about BPM accuracy? Do you have to have your arm elevated the same as your heart (as you do with a BPM cuff measurement)? What kind of variability are you seeing vs. a cuff reading?
What about the SPo2 accuracy? How is it when sleeping? I forget the reason, but some fingertip monitors have fits of inaccuracy when sleeping because of signal strength drops.
Any issues with music storage and bluetooth playback?
Smartphone hardware these days are close to perfection. The performance is overkill. The only bottleneck is the software. Crappy software prevents the users from getting the full potential of the device. I am not certain if these issues are just software related alone, if it is, then I hope Xiaomi could fix this. Flashing the latest EU ROM didn't help, so there must be an issue within MIUI's core.
1.) The phone heats up really fast
- Is this because of Samsung 5nm? I could not believe that a 5nm could heat up so easily. I am not claiming that the phone is overheating.
I have not faced any fps drops in game. I have to remove my case when playing games. Running a background app like Bittorent/Utorrent or any other downloading service will surely heat your phone quite fast, to the point where it is no longer comfortable to hold. I hope custom rom and custom kernel development will rise, so we can manually adjust the CPU frequency.
2.) 120hz is not smooth. There are noticeable micro-stutters.
I tried using the force 120hz adb command, but still I am getting micro-stutters when scrolling through apps and multi-tasking. This could be probably mean that the app itself is not optimized for 120hz phones, but Facebook, Instagram and Chrome are still having stutters and these are mainstream apps.
I could not fully enjoy the 1440p + 120hz HDR display. I already tried going down to 1080p and turning off battery saving mode. The phone would just hop between 60hz and 90hz without reason, and you have manually go to the display settings to turn on 120hz because it would just set to 60hz by itself!
