in your xda's custom kernels i can't disable cpu 1 completly. i need this because of battery drain. i got only one game on my phone and i buy my phone for my game. fruit ninja is the best game ever. it runs on earlier oc'ed kernels from ryrzy, coolexe and, anryl. it runs at one core at 1.2 ghz without any micro lag. it lags when more fruits was on the screen(not lag but little slow down).oc to 1,5 ghz resolve this problem. i was using earlier "dual core" app to disable cpu1 completly. and it was works. NOW IT WON'T WORK. when i use option to disable cpu 1 completly on "dual core" app second core switch on always when needed(browses,games,etc...). fruit ninja is not dual core game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now it's laggy. i must force both cores to minimize the lag but its laggy on FORCED DUAL CORE!!!. when it's not forced i got big lag every time when cpu1 go online in game(its turn on when need? and turn off when not needed???)(it's no needed at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). someone can say its not laggy but i am not a someone who got first android device. on neo v it runs much better. on galaxy s same. very much better! those phones got 1ghz cpu!. i got not f...... galaxy ace but dual core evo 3d and at my evo my game runs like on galaxy ace. this is just simple 2d game, not advenced 3d fireworks whitch my phone doesn't handles. can somebody tell me how to disable cpu1 COMPLETLY? before i crash my laggy baterry draining phone on wall
search for dualcore.apk which lets you disable cpu1 completely
echo'ing /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online doesn't work too. that command only force both cpu's online and disable cpu1 but not completly. maybe i could search "hotplug_on" and "second_core_on" but i don't know where are they on miui rom.
I have cleaned up this thread and I strongly warn you that any more flaming and trolling in here and I will infract every last one of you under zero tolerance. I dont care if you have 10 posts or 5000 posts. No cussing or name calling. That goes for everyone. As for the OP...I suggest when people are trying to help you that you actually take their help and suggestions and not get mad when you dont get the answers you want.
i found kernel on other site than xda. completly disabling cpu1 is not working but fruit ninja now run like crazy. other 3d games works better too and my phone is not hot!
echo "999" > /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/nwns_threshold_up
this command disables cpu1 completly

At first: sorry for just using Google Translate... I have not much time to write everything new!
Problem:
After some time, the ongoing CPU / GPU load overclocked the processor down and the maximum stroke is limited to 820MHz. Under Android 2.3 that was detected with the tool Stability Test, which but now with Android 4.0 makes the Xperia S problems and freezes the display after 2min.
clearly evident in the following games / applications:
- Asphalt 7: Heat - after 10 to 15 minutes
- Mass Effect - Infiltrator - after 10 to 15 minutes
- Shadow Gun - after 10 to 15 minutes
- N64 Emulator (FREE) on TV over HDMI HDMI after about 20 or 25 minutes
- Dungeon Hunter 3 (FREE) - on charger during the third mission
- Real Football (FREE) - after 20 or 30 minutes... Keep the half-time Screen on for 15 minutes should bring the effect faster
- Temple Run Brave - thx @ monivan
Should you it with other games or the best tools that can follow the show cpu speed permanently, please post here. the above StabilityTest works definitely NOT currently until an update from the developer Comes
Here a short example Video in german... if you move Forward to 3:20 you will see the effect clearly after 3:30
ATTENTION! Please only Xperia S users participate in the survey, as the results will be forwarded to the developer and not with "I certainly do not" click just because you did not want to test this.
Original German thread (hope that is not against the rules): http://www.pocketpc.ch/sony-xperia-s/169205-prozessordrosselung-wegen-uberhitzung-umfrage.html
I've reported the problem, but no one seem to care. Mine is clocked to 810mhz just every couple of minutes one the devices is overheated. I tried to remove overheat control, but still the problem exist. I hate playing it laggy, but i don't mind a hot phone if it still workibg properly!

It is very annoying. I'm playing games like 10 min and the phone works very slow... Any solution?
Hrm I tried many kernels. All with the same result even CM9 & 10. But i can decreased it by not using On demand govenor!

there is a solution from Bin4ry but it is a bit dangerous and we don't know if it has hardware-side-effects over a Long time...
I attached you a file... it is a config where the thermal throttling Trigger values are located at... it just sets the throttle value from 55 degrees to 70 degrees (CPU data sheet says Maximum temp is 80 degrees so it's inside his Limit) and the emergency shutdown from 70 degrees to 75 degrees....
there is also another emergency shutdown value for battery temp at 60 degrees because at more then 70 the battery may explode so: DON'T touch this values!!!
just unzip it and overwrite the existing one in /System/etc/
then reboot...
after that it will not throttle again but if you are charging and playing for a while (after 45 or 60 minutes) the phone get's damned hot!!!
so Bin4ry and I think, that the Xperia S has a massively failed Hardware design with this old CPU and bad heat Management!!!
EDIT: hmm who is the one without any Problems? a Statement what was tested would be nice you are the first one (out of 15 People voted in both Forums together) who has no problems
I'm on stock rom. Yesterday I played Virtua Tennis for 3 hours, and last night played Virtua Tennis with a friend, phone slightly heated, but not over heated also never had any problem !!! but my Arc is over heating
hmm ok but you should try with games listed above... the Problem is, that other games could have limited fps to save Hardware power... that's the reason why i listed These games
Maybe the best solution is to underclock the phone to 1-1,2 Ghz, so that it won't get this hot when playing games... I think a custom kernel is necessary for that but my BL is locked.... Is there anybody who can try this out and report?
lol...
i payed 600 EUROS for a phone with 1,5GHz dualcore CPU! i will NOT underclock it to make it run more stable
the best solution is to proove that the Xperia S has a Hardware issue that can't be fixed and forece sony to bring you an Exchange device with the same Price value like you have paid or you get your money back...

Is this problem only exist in custom rom/kernels? how about stock by sony 2.3.7 and 4.0.4?

no this is a HARDWARE Problem... so there are two possibilities... the device clocks down much tooo early and games start to lag (like on stock FW) or it throttles just at higher temps (some custom roms with other throttle values) but then the Xperia becomes extremely hot!

I see, I'm still using my arc, it does get hot too while playing HD games it reaches upto 39degrees
I was planning to get XS, playing games is my priority, but when i read this thread im having second thoughts now
I got my Xperia SL, i have yet to test this problem
If you want gaming go for a tegra handset like HTC one X I think it's the best deal
Sent from my LT22i using xda premium
Same here, after playing like 30 min NFSMW my XS is extremendly hot and lag (Lag in game and sometime after close this)
Games with lag:
Gta 3 full settings (30~ 40 min)
NFSMW (30 ~ 40)
N64oid (30-40)
100floor (Jesus IS A 2D game)
Im on full stock .55
I think we need to talk with sony about the minimun speed after overheating from 820 mhz to 1ghz
PS: mods, can you move to xs forum plz?:thumbup:
I noticed,that the count off active cores is most of the time only or max two cores.even in gaming or benchmarking...
Could this be the problem for the bad gaming performance since jb update?on playing vice city i recogniced that the framerate raises a lot when all four cores are active.this happens some time for a few seconds,then it returns back to one or two active cores and the game starts lagging....
Any solution so far?or is there anybody still on ics to test if it is the same activitie there?
I used cpu stats to tes cause it shows cores activities in statusbar.
No one?doesnt really anybody give a s**t bout this tablet???
Know how you feel, I have a htc desire phone which is running for 3years and still has (few) active developers.. Here's like nobody home.. Probably because bootloader is still locked.. I don't have time atm but I really want to try to root my xperia tablet.. We'll see what the future holds..
For the cores.. Probably bad tuning by Sony devs, this is likely how they managed battery to last longer, ok but not for gaming..
They upgraded to kernel 3 which is a good thing, but they kinda f***** it up..
Know you're not alone and don't forget anything is possible..!!

Seems you aren't to active yourself..
I kinda feel the same too. I have a Nexus One which is pretty old but with 4.2.2 on and a lot of roms to choose.
With this tablet I feel abandoned. It is a shame because it's a great tablet, nice design, good materials.
If only they let us unlock the bootloader...
Fix core count on Xperia tablet S after JB update.

Hi, since i finally can post here, Yes, the Xperia tablet S with the Tegra3 will only run on 2 cores.
I know how to fix this,
First off, factory reset (backup blabla) Why? Because when you update to jb and dont factory reset after the upgrade, it will be very laggy and buggy, dunno why, it try it. - could also just skip this if you dont want to back up and etc
Second, install an app calld tegra overclock.
Third, after that, open the app, go to core count, enable all cores, enable on boot, done, should run way way smoother and faster.
And last, thanks button if this worked
Note: App isnt free. but uhm, google :angel:
Hi guys. I have noticed that my Xperia Z Ultra has some performance problems. This problem is when gaming. It is something strange because sometimes games run very smooth but sometimes it is very laggy (more of the time). I dont know why it is happening. For me its like phone is not pushing feadback to cpu or gpu when its need it. My phone is c6833 it is stock 4.4.4 stock kernel stock rom. Can someone help me please??

Does the phone get hot while it's doing this?
Yes a little bit hot but not too much. Its something strange because today i was playing brothers in arms 3 and it was like 30-40 fps. And suddenly after killing me in a game , I ve restarted the same mission and i was shocked because there was like 60 fps all the time till i left game. I ve started game again and still 30-40 fps. Does anyone have the same issue? How is Your gaming experience "blueether"? Thank You very much for Your reply
I play rules of survival on memu right.. it's on direct X 4 ram and 2048 memory. It's good settings and intel graphics it runs smooth but like the next day doesn't I want to run good. It frame drops a lot one day, but like there's something causing this sometimes I try to fix it I feel like something. Is lowering my CPU? But it shows my ram is still high and everything is high. Maybe it's my memu settings and I play on ultra.. can anyone tell me how to fix it I don't want to lag I just want smooth gameplay on direct x...? Also, I have gtools maybe.. and what device should I put memu on? Galaxy edge S7?? Or something else. Thank you please please help!!
