I'm getting ready to pack in my M8, and I want to go the same size or smaller for under $450 (tops). The Z5c seems to be the only Android phone that really fits that bill while keeping respectable performance, but there are two issues that have me thinking twice: overheating and the "self-cracking glass".
I know nothing can be done about the screen (unless a tempered glass protector helps to keep it intact), but the overheating, if fixed, could sway me away from the Honor 8 or LG G5. I've read that the firmware update that came along with Marshmallow has largely fixed the problem, and combined with a patch available here that throttles the phone a little more aggressively, heat is no longer a big problem. That said, I'm concerned about gimping the performance of the phone in order to keep it from char-broiling my hands. How noticeable is the throttling and, if thermals are still an issue with the phone, how big of one are they?
If you wouldn't recommend the Z5c, the thermal issues remain or the throttling hurts performance in a noticeable way, I'd be curious if there are any other phones (with a micro SD slot) that you think are worth looking at.
Thanks!
Hey , i have my phone from March
this year, 3-4 updates still overheating..
battery top 46C, and cpu 60C MAX so far and stays there,
but! when battery reached 40C+ and CPU 60C+, device become 50% slow (i guess to prevent overheating)
on some games\apps you feel it, some not,
even on anutu cold device is about 90K hot device is about 50K score
after 5 -15 minutes of gaming already from 28 to 43, (depend room temp and game\app) sometimes i can shoot 4K videos for 10 minutes sometimes 1 hour
i think self cracked glass happening because two reasons
1 mainly reason: moving fast from cold when the glass is pretty hot by much (heat cause expanded)
2.sitting on device without notice
ps
sorry if my english is bad

Thank you! Do you know if the X Compact will run any cooler? The lower power chipset can only help, but I'm concerned about paying $500 for a phone that might not be as powerful as its older brother, which now retails for $100+ less, especially if the overheating and cracked glass issues aren't solved.
If only the Honor 8 wasn't riddled with iOS disease...
you're welcome
As far as iknow for the X compact does not have 4K, slower GPU,(CPU speed is about the same) not water resistant \proof
but he run abit cooler and got more RAM 3 for multitasking
i own only Z5 Compact
X compact base on youtube reviews and reading online
one of many

maybe hardware defective on some line, i remember every 3 months came new line ver 1 2 and 3 ( i think i have revision 1 or 2) 3 was available but didnt sold here
you can check your temp history somehow? like C3 widget?
or real time small app (shows cpu and batt temp)
maybe you dont play heavy games?
try run antutu 3-4 times see how much score is changing each run ,mine is from 90K to 50K more annoying then overheating himself
I run a few time antutu and i comback with results

Played 10 min`s of strategy game: Cpu temp: 41c Battery temp 35c
then : 1st antutu 70.432 Cpu temp 42c Battery temp 38c
2nd antutu 62.831 Cpu temp 41 c Battery temp 38c
3rd antutu 62.148 Cpu temp 41c Battery temp 39c
anyway , your antutu score is much higher than mine in the first time (i think depends what rom, kernel do you use..) , but like u see, mine didn`t drop at 50.000 in 3 attempts .anyway my max cpu temp was 42c when i run for first time antutu,
Hope i helpt you

Any S810 device will overheat, it's inherently badly designed. Sony's hardware thermal solution is probably the best any OEM have done with the S810. It's also possible that Sony has optimized under-the-hood settings to further reduce load on the SoC and keep the temperature down.
Other software tweaks are mostly just a balance game of performance and throttling threshold.
Stock Sony firmware goes the more conservative route, so usually you won't experience noticeable heat when using it lightly.
It will still get pretty hot if you use it for intensive tasks that utilizes the full capacity of the hardware, such as playing demanding games, record in 4K for a long period of time, or watch videos that need a lot of complex decoding... etc.
If you're looking for performance without "unnecessary" throttling, just avoid all S810 devices.
Personally, most of the time I had no problems with the temp and perf of my Z5C, but there has been a few cases where I did experience slowdowns due to the throttling.
Got mine from December 2015. After few weeks of usage, it really overheats a lot. After several updates through the months, Device still overheats until now, still uncomfortable to the touch when it overheats. Tried reformatting yesterday, performance seems better with less bloatware stuff and on regular usage. But when cpu is under heavy load, device heats up and performance is reduced a lot to the point that it lags. But overall, still love my Z5C~ <3
It overheats uncomfortably. I tried xpower 4.0 ROM, smarttemperaturex mod, etc although it does reduce heat but not enough to be comfortable and im not talking about heavy tasks I'm talking about Firefox browser, WhatsApp and tapatalk.
The phone is almost never room temperature when using its either warm or hot which gets annoying after some time, don't even let me mention how hot it can get with few minutes of phone calls.

I'd say go for X Compact. Zero overheating issues. This heat actually gets on your nerves at one point. While the gpu of X Compact is inferior, in long periods of gaming there won't be any throttling on XC but Z5c will give half the performance so at the end of the day, the X Compact will feel a lot snappier

It overheats like crazy. I'm flashing 5.1 in hope that it will help.
When running Antutu i put my phone in refrigerator so that I can get a better score! :silly:
Any new cpu is hotter than quad-core of sd800/801 bcoz it's now much faster, even sd820 gets hot during heavy loading though better than sd810.
I've flashed SmartTemperatureX v1.61(no charging bug) and found temp is acceptable and battery life improved a bit.

I have a sony xperia s , and when playing graphic hungry games the phone heats up .
now i understand that the game demands resources from the Gpu and cpu ..
but is it healthy to play a lot of games on the phone ?
what will become damaged ? ( if its not healty )
Thanks a lot any help is appreciated .
Devices will sometimes heat up in normal use but excessive heat for prolonged periods of time can be damaging. Depending on how warm it gets though, you are probably fine.

Hi, I find the same problem sometimes. Heat is to be expected as there is no active cooling like for example on a desktop CPU or GPU. If you're worried about it just quit the app after playing for so long and let it cool down as I find the heat makes it hard to use the phone anyway. One suggestion that may help is switch off your WiFi and 3g when gaming. Honestly if your phone isnt over clocked I wouldn't worry as it should be able to cope with how Sony has configured it.
yeah mine isn't over clocked , i fear overclocking it .. i feel its like cooking your own cpu , logically it might damage it right ?
there's this one game called : "bombshells" the phone really heats up on it .
I didn't download it from the playstore because its not available for my device/country so i got the apk , could it be compatibility issues ? although im dead sure my device can handle it smoothly .
I used to notice significant heat from my HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S2 when gaming. I didn't overclock either but they both got really very hot to touch. My Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn't for some reason (even when overclocked) and my Nexus 7 does get very hot when gaming. I think there isn't anything to worry about. If you've not overclocked it surely can't affect your warranty either.
heat
heat can be a problem yes, there was an app i think that tells you the temp.
Obvious thing to do is to exit the app and shut the phone down till it cools down ,it is normal for any phone to become like that if games ,apps etc are cpu hungry etc
The first thing to break will be the battery, and that'll happen around 45 Celsius. Just stay below that and you'll be fine.
Keeping a low brightness and play without the protection case. I know that my AMOLED screen is the main cause of heat.. Heats up the battery, CPU and screen radiate heat too... phones are too small and too powerful for an optimal temperature. Brightness at minimum is a must I think.

Some games require high end devices to run smoothly and not cause any problems.. In your case, SGS3 didn't cause any since its a Quad Core device and is capable of handling high graphics games..

I have an SXS too.. But you will have to understand that our phone uses Snapdragon S3 processor which is normal to get hot since its the way it was built.. It gets hot soon and makes the phone slow.. U can google about it and read everything related to it.. And its alright to play games on your phone.. But on any Android phone, i suggest u play for around 15-30mins max when u r playing high end games with lots of graphics.. And then give a 30 min break and then continue to play.. Use kernel tuner and check your CPU and Battery temperature.. If they are above 45 degrees, let it cool down.. And i have to say, the latest .96 fw has no issue of heating.. I have played NFS MW and Asphalt 8.. Although Asphalt 8 causes some heat, other high end games never made my phone heat up.. U can try the ROM with a clean install..
devices normall heat up while running apps that use hardware acceleration.
if no app is running, the device ideally shouldnt heat
up.
Thanks for your reply. i got my Nexus 5 now,same thing about heat in games or while on HDMI - thats normal so
got xperia s too, custom rom, cpu overclocked to 1916mhz, play alot on it over longer periods of time too (2 hours) nothing bad happened to it for a year i got it so... working as intended?
Galaxy Note I717 here, heats up after around 5 songs on Cytus while playing in an air conditioned room. Prolonged use (i.e. 15 to 30 minutes non-stop) also causes it to heat up to around the same temperature. OEMs should really make it a point to put cooling systems on all their devices.
Hi guys
I just bought my Z3TC this week. Overall I'm super happy to have it. However, I notice each time, after playing around with it for 15 ~20 minutes (Surfing, photo taking, gaming), the tablet gets really hot near the home button area.
I installed a temperature app and found that the CPU was at 66'C consistently and the Battery was at 45'C. It was hot to the touch, not to the point where I can't use the tablet, but when my palm rests near the home button area, the heat is noticeable. It's not just warm. The app (CPU temperature) didn't show any throttling of the CPU either.
I'm worried that the heat will cause damage to the tablet's battery and CPU lifespan.
Does anyone else have similar issues?
THanks
What games are you playing ? I haven't noticed any elevated temperatures in my device but then again I don't typically game.

It was MMX racing.. just a simple 3d based game.
But I notice, the heat generated isn't just from gaming. It seems it's happening when I'm using any apps. Is it possible to throttle the CPU? Or do I have a defective version?

From my understanding CPU throttling it controlled by the kernel and would therefore require root access.
Out of interest I downloaded and played dead trigger 2 after reading your post. My device certainly got warmer but it wasn't hot to touch. With the polymer backing I would be concerned of warping if you have excessive over heating, similar to the issues with the Galaxy Tab S.
If I can get some time I will monitor my temps over the next day or two and see what happens.

I've never heard anyone say the tablet heats up. I, myself, play games on the Z3 tablet compact, 3D / 2D / whatever D, sometimes even while downloading, the thing doesn't even know how to heat up, it's always like "nope bro, no heating up from me, u want heating up? Go get something with the Tegra K1 inside". Jokes aside, the thing seriously never heats up. Possibly a defective unit? I suppose you could ask the service center to take a look.

hi guys, i have just got the phone, but i think is overheating too early. What is the idle temperature of yours? mine is approx 39-40, but for example, if i download 2 or 3 apps, then it goes 50+.
Is it normal?
I don't have any problem of heat on mine, just when it's on charge yes but it because of quick charge so... I didn't check the temperature but everything seems alright even in game ?

Hi,
I took this phone to be able to compare it to the OP3. They offer more or less the same specs for about the same price, with some pros (slightly bigger screen, 2k display) and cons (no jack, lack of support in Europe, battery ?).
The LeEco doesn't really go hot. Even under heavy load, it goes only mildly warm. But it is in fact much warmer than the OP3 used in the same conditions (same apps, same TPU cover). But in every circumstance, it is much cooler than, i.e. my Nexus 5.
Regards.

Hi skoulikios13,
Can't really tell... but those kinds of value do not seem out of range for me.
Then again, I'm more used to Dual Xeon CPU in my computer... and those go slightly hotter when I am compiling my own ROM
Of course, I think you do not need to worry...
If your device goes too hot, it'll throttle at first, and in worst case force itself to shut down.
Regards.

Hi people, just wanted to ask if anyone had the same experience of your device getting quite warm on the bottom portion where the pins are (seems warmer on the front though). I know that's where the motherboard and all the computing power is at, but it's strange that it can get warm even when all you do is browsing the web using chrome, taking a look at CPU-Z, it shows some things can get as warm as 50-55 degree Celsius, and if I'm not the only one, then is there anything that can be done about it, I mean, it probably shouldn't be like that, right?
That does seem a bit warm for web browsing, I just did a quick test on mine (4K video recording for a few mins) and CPU Z showed temperature just reaching 50C.
Under normal use it seems to range from 45-50, also warm to touch near the bottom. Mine does have a skin and battery mod on so I'd expect higher if anything, but I am using the Turbo Z kernel rather than stock so maybe unfair to compare. 55 is still safe, it seems fairly normal for this phone to reach these temperatures.
Turning off half the pixels when you don't need them may help: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=screen.dimmer.pixelfilter beyond that I'm not sure besides using a custom kernel to help.
Are you using the international variant, clocked at 1.8GHz? If it's hitting 55C web browsing on that I'd be surprised but it seems similar to mine with the Turbo Z kernel clocked at 2.15GHz.
Edit: Just noticed mine hit 60C on some thermal sensors in CPU Z after prolonged use in chrome, dropping quickly to 45C after opening CPU Z. I really wouldn't worry about the temperature, it does seem normal.

Thank you for your reply, I have the international variant (UK), fully stock, I just wasn't sure if going for a custom kernel or a ROM (the one made by janjan seems to be the way to go) would help this or make it worse. It's strange how I would rather go for custom software made by an enthusiast instead of updating to nougat in fear of bugs, but it is what it is, huh.
Edit: is it just me, or some of these phones cameras are not in the middle of the circle that they are mounted it (dont know how to explain it better), for example my front camera sensor is shifted to the right upper part of the circle, doesn't seem to affect its performance though.
No problem I'm running stock with Turbo Z kernel at the moment to up our phone from its underclock of 1.8GHz (UK here too), set up a few profiles in kernel adiutor and I'm very impressed with performance. Agreed, I'm likely going over to N to try Daydream VR soon but so happy with this using Pixel Launcher, animated Nav Bar and G assistant etc. All very stable and smooth at the moment so it's a tough call.
Not sure about the camera thing, perhaps noticeable on my front one but depending on the angle of light hitting it it's hard to tell. Not seen any issues with it either :good: , maybe just a bit of manufacturing inconsistency.
I was just noticing last night how well mine stayed cool after prolonged use actually. I believe that even if this thing gets hot it has a great cooling sync body and dissipates quickly. JerryRigEverything's screen flame test on moto z lasted 3.5x longer without damage than almost any other phone, not this issue, but perhaps promising on heat durability.

It sure does, mine can get warm but the second I stopped using chrome for example it cooled right down again. Durability of this phone from that video was really impressive.
Hi guys, this is something that keeps me up at night. The recent software update was supposed to make performance of the Moto Z better, and in actual daily usage I find nothing to complain about, but when it comes to benchmarks it's a whole different story, I have the uk version by the way. To be frank, I used to get about 129 000 in antutu, which is pretty low to start with, and now it's down to 126 000, geekbench is lower than you would expect from this phone too, at about 1350 single core and 3810 multicore. So basically I started this thread as a place where we could share our benchmark results and discuss them, because I have a feeling I just got an unlucky unit, because it also gets real hot real fast (up to 60 degrees celcium), and I can't make it last for more that 4 hours of screen on time, and I'm really not a heavy user. I just feel strange about this phone, because I love everything else about it, and it’s good that I do, because resale value on these things is beyond awful, tried to sell it for 500 bucks for months with no success.
Benchmarks mean abso-farking-lutly nothing. If they are keeping you up any night, you have a mental issue. I suggest you see a shrink.

Well, there is no reason to be so toxic my friend, my main concern is that I may be the only one here with such a low score, and since the score got even lower after some time that could mean I may have a defective device, and that would be a real problem to keep me up at night.
I don't think there's a problem with your unit, 4 hours screen on time sounds normal without the battery mod on. That drop in benchmark score isn't very significant unless it continues to drop dramatically. I have the UK model too, and it is underclocked by default to 1.8GHz. You could try the Turbo Z kernel to improve it
Also mine gets really hot fast when using Daydream VR or anything intensive but 60 °C isn't dangerous for the SD820. (You could check battery use in settings incase something is keeping your phone awake.)
Geekbench 4:
Single core 1369
Multi core 3779
Seems benchmarks are pretty similar. I'm on rooted Android N but stock kernel so same as yours.

Seems benchmarks are pretty similar. I'm on rooted Android N but stock kernel so same as yours.

Thank you for your comforting and friendly reply, in battery settings Android OS, Android system, and phone idle are on top when I'm not using the phone actively, I've had laughable results sometimes, like yesterday I had 30 percent battery left with only about an hour of screen on time, again no gaming involved, but this usually happens when I'm moving around, if I stay at home and nothing happens to the phone it usually won't drain battery like that. I think the reason the phone gets hot easily is obviously because of how thin it is, for example, when I keep it in the pocket it's just as hot as my body tempreture, since it just absorbs heat that easily, but has a hard time getting rid of it.

You're welcome. If you click on the graph you can see the awake time too, lately something has been keeping mine awake and draining the battery too. Not sure what it is yet, but if yours is getting really bad screen on time it could be similar. Likely an app running in the background keeping the phone awake which would heat it up more and drain the battery. There are wake lock detection apps that claim to be able to tell you which is causing this.
As you can see it's awake for long periods of time when the screen is off, and it really shouldn't be. Hope this helps :good:
