I've recently purchased carcassonne from the market and while I love the game, it does seem to eat up the battery pretty quickly. So i'm wondering if its just me or are other folks experiencing this too?
Bit of background, i'm running Cognition 1.51 on an sgs2 and while playing the game it looks like it consumes around 58% (average) cpu. This to me seems excessively high. Carcassonne for those that are not aware of it is a tile based board game, which doesn't seem to me to be a candidate for a fast cpu. Yep, i could understand that the AI might require CPU but surely not for the rest of teh game.
So question is, does anybody else have the game and do you notice high cpu usage on it?
I didn't play that game but 58% consumption after how long playing? Do keep in mind that a playing a game is CPU intensive task, so CPU will be hot and battery will drain much faster than other stuffs.
Regards.
Ordinarily yes I'd agree about games and CPU usage. But for this type of game I'd expect it to have very minimal requirements.
Also I started up a fresh game and left it waiting for me to play my turn. Leaving it waiting for twenty mins and when i checked utilization it was still 30%. Given that there was no animations or screen activity that does seem excessively high.
Am trying out miui rom now to see if that makes any difference.

Please help..I am really getting hopless and disappointed at this phone..I am using lite'ning rom and before that the original rom i am still experiencing extreme overheating when playing games like Asphalt, What am I supposed to do what's wrong?
i'd really appreciate if someone could help.
Are you charging at the same time?
What is the surrounding air temp?
Are you overclocking?
Have you tried a different kernel?
Have you tried another battery?
I would expect it to get quite hot playing games like that for an extensive time,.....
How long?
What is your actual battery temp?

Where did you get ashphalt from? the reason i ask is because i think i saw it in the samsung apps store as S1 only.
And how hot is it actually getting?
Are you charging while playing?
Thank you all for your concern. I am not charging. Original battery with temp around 39'c. No change to the rom (lite'ning). Will changing the kernel resolve the problem? Games are all from Gameloft fir GS2. The phone gets really hot that I can not hold it!!!!
Isn't Asphalt just one of those games that doesnt fully support the dual-core cpu? I think it is the same problem with Gangstar:Miami Vacation. The game runs both cores at 100% which makes your SGS2 VERY hot.
I'd advice not to play any of those games, that are not updated for dual-core CPUs
I had the same problem mate with lite'ning/stock rom 2.3.3. Changed rom to Batista70 and heat issues deduced significantly, also changed kernel. Try changing both custom rom & kernel to find best combo for your phone use.

I had this issue while playing "Medieval Castle Defense", but not on "Asphalt".
Too much undervolting especially on the higher frequencies can cause overheating while running resource hungry app and games. [Says Tegrak himself! ]
If 39 degree is what you call too hot, my battery sometimes reaches that temp while surfing using hspa.
I experienced the same temps a while ago playing Asphalt 6 but i changed the settings SETCPU and from then on I have only top temps at about 40 maximum.

My current setup is as follows
-Weekly #3
-Faux's 1.0GHz 0.2.3 (no UV)
-N_-1.77.30P radio on AT&T
The battery often reaches temperatures in the 40s (Celsius) and the CPU in the 50s.
This happens when I do normal activities like web browsing or texting.
I don't experience battery drain when using my phone as a feature phone.
If I play games, even the simplest ones like Angry Birds or Dragon Fly, my battery hits 45+ C and my processor into the high 50s. The battery drains almost 1% every 2 minutes when doing this.
If I listen to music (through headphones with Google Music app from the market and offline music), I lose 1% every 6 minutes (almost exactly) even with the screen off and device unused for that period.
My idle battery life is perfectly fine, often only losing 1-2%/hr without use.
Is this normal?
its extremely normal... lots of threads like this(could have searched?) if you want to improve it underclock. Also your phone will shut off automatically if it gets too hot so don't worry
i'm running CM7 and underclocked to 608 mhz and runs everything with no problem even some games then i crank it up if its really necessary in those settings my phone barely gets hot and has good battery life
As a new owner of the Z5C (rly impressed so far ) I couldn't help but notice the heat, courtesy of the SD810 I assume.
So i've started monitoring the temps for the past few days with CPU-Z and Cpu Temperature.
For the most part while doing everyday tasks such as phone calls, news, music, Whatsapp and so on the temperature is around 30-40ish which seems reasonable and causes no concern.
Whilst doing something more intense such as running a game, installing/updating app, or recording video the temperature jumps to around 45-60 which again seems reasonable.
There are sudden momentary (2 second) spikes to 70's 80's usually while doing heavy R/W tasks such as installing an app.
Battery temps usually hover around high 20's to mid 30's whilst doing normal tasks and during more intense tasks can jump up to around 40ish.
I was wondering if other users here who also bothered to monitor their thermals are experiencing similar results or not?
Also am curious to know if someone knows what the msm_thresh threshold is for the Z5C i've noticed mine topping at around 41..
Thanks
I have been getting pretty much similar results, albeit a bit lower temps due to disabling a few cores. Those temps are perfectly fine, as long as the battery dosen't get to the high 40's. The throttling stats when the battery reaches 43°C and clears when it get down to 41°C, you can find the throttling thresholds in the file called thermal-engine.conf located in /system/etc/
This tablet is the same as the shield tablet how come it play games so badly if this can begin what’s the best custom rom and Kerman to play games on?
It overheats and throttles. The Tegra K1 in this tablet is not the same as the one in the Shield tablet. Same GPU, much different CPU. This one gets hotter. It really is too hot for a fanless tablet if you try to run it at full utilization for a long period of time, as a game will.
You can try underclocking the CPU. That will probably make it perform better for games because the GPU will run faster.
Actually it's not really "overheating" exactly. It has a temperature limit and once it hits that temp, it slows down the CPU and GPU to stay under that temp. It's a power limit. It uses too much power to run at full speed continuously for a long period of time in a tablet.
I'm using Slimrom with Fire Ice Kernel.
PUBG runs pretty well using gfxtools with low setting + 30fps.
But the game began to lag after 15min due to thermal throttle.
Will try the heatsink mod later and hopefully able to improve the performance...
Hi Guys. I play Black desert mobile on poco and when I have High graphics the gpu usage is around 30% while the cpu is 25%. Everything is ok, I can't say something about that. The point is that when I set the graphics to max settings, the usage of the graphics card goes between 35% - 60% and the processor is around 35%. For this reason, I would like you to tell me, how much the usage of gpu affects the overall 'health' and performance of the mobile, if it matters at all . What I mean is, whether it is 30% or 60%, will it affect the mobile in general? For example, I can use max graphics all the time without damaging the phone?

Ok thank you. Are you sure though ? I mean have you checked if there is any difference between the battery power after and before playing for many hours ? Or with the performance in general? Because I can play sometimes many hours a day.
