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.

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:

Hello again dear xda members
I've been using S II for over 2 weeks now! I get the following(which many of you do get also). When I turn on WiFi and start surfing, the phone starts to overheat and battery is drained like a juice.
Well, after a long study, I've found out that it's the stock browser's fault!
Yeah! I opened WiFi, surfed a little and it started to heat up! Well, I was trying to download something, and since stock sucks at downloading( except if you add to it an app from the market called Downloadfiles) I opened DolphinHD!!
What I saw, or felt-whatever-, was just
After 5 minutes, the phone cooled down, temperature became normal and of course battery was less consumed!
So, to all people who have heat issues, it turns out(at least in my humble opinion) that it's the stock browser's fault!!!
Any thoughts anyone? Similar experiences?
I've been using it for 10 days and experienced no such overheating, but battery time should be much better.

Really? It doesn't overheat never? even not when playing games?
I thought mine was faulty, but I went to couple of stores where they have it open for customers to play with, and I did the same as mine and it started to heat up!
Mine heats up a bit after playing a game or running a certain app for a while, but I never experience overheating with the stock browser. Though you should take in to consideration that the GS2 is a thin device, the CPU is close to your hands. Most phones also have to exessivly keep searching for connections because it is weak or something is blocking its way. The transmitting/receiving device is located at the top along with the CPU so it'll tend to get hot. Most smartphones do overall.
Also, the phone gets hotter while using it connected to a charger just because the battery is filling up the same time you are using it. Also, take in to consideration that no patch for true dualcore support has yet been released nor announced. Just some factors why the phone heats up.
thanks man!
Well, heating up is normal-as far as I read in here-... But when using Stock Browser, I'm talking about overheat! really! I believe it's a bug, since as said, nor Firefox, Dolphin and Skyfire(I use all of them) produce that issue! And I disabled flash content(thought that might make it better) but it was the same! Don't know!
Anyways, thanks for answering!
OVer wifi I have no problems. Over 3G is another story! and playing games is another story. It warms up every 5 minutes while playing games.
Yours too huh? well, mine does that on WiFi!
What is Overheating? How do you know it is overheating unless you know the temperature of the battery? Well OP and other posters who are saying the phone gets overheated please mention the temperature of it. The ambient temp of Europe/USA is 20-25°C Max, and if the device runs even cool then it will have temp around 30-32°C, that is much higher than the ambient temp and probably that's why you guys are feeling the phone is overheating but in fact it's not. Here in Calcutta, ambient is 32-33°C and the Phone temp in normal is the same, so we/I don't feel it's overheating, only when I surf net for an hour straight with charging then the temp rises up to 44-45°C, that's when it could be said that the phone is running on high temp, still for the hardware we are given 45°C is not hot.
So before saying the phone is overheating please check the battery temp.
Regards.
how do I measure battery temperature?
Ok, Battery life widget?
I'll measure then I'll let you know!
There is a reason stock browser uses more battery and heats more. It uses GPU to render pages more quickly! But for me even on stock it is not that hot, more than on other phones, but thats what you get for a thin phone.
Maybe somone will test battery life with stock+GPU and dolphin browser with no GPU. Maybe the difference is not that big at all, maybe just GPU heats more than CPU but uses same battery.
now let's not forget android doesn't have graphics acceleration, and without it the GPU has to work harder which generates more heat

Ok, I get 41 to 45 °C degrees!
So, no overheat just heat!
So, based on what you're saying, this is normal?

Your ambient is 27°C, right? So it's normal to me. Anything less than 50°C should be OK, imo.

My ambient is 34 to 30 °C
Ok, so my phone is fine? Wow! !! thanks
that really made me happy!

Summer in Greece and sub-30-degrees Celsius don't go together.That's why we're hot!
Anyway,****ty joking aside,inside a bus today,under the sun with an ambient temperature of about 35-36 degrees(dunno how you put the degrees symbol pal ) and with my GPU overclocked at 400MHz with 1100mV using tegrak overclock ultimate,I played some Angry Birds and,although the phone reported no more than 44 degrees,it was very hot at the top.
My opinion?If you(or me obviously) manage to somehow burn/fry something,make sure to do it so bad that it doesn't even respond to Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick! That way maybe Sammy won't notice...Shush!

Hello!
I have some concerns about the heat of my phone. I've read some threads, but everybody has different opinions and readings.
Basically, with room temperature at around 27-28, during browsing (especially with lots of scrolling through images) the phone will heat up to 40-41C (even to 42 with some encouraging) within 5 minutes, so the bottom front and back are very hot.
During other use, like writing a few messages in Whatsapp, going though settings in programs, menus etc it will, slowly, but will go up to ~36-37C.
Is it normal, or should I prepare for war with the shop I bought it from?
are you rinning a custom rom/kernel or stock? if so which?
I've found that different roms heat up more than others.
I'm using anaraxia rom 10.3 build and have no heat problems and the battery life is amazing!

Using a stock rom. I'm not experienced enough to flash custom roms yet, and I would also prefer to not void the warranty, at least since I'm not yet certain that my phone is not damaged in some way
I'm not that bothered by the heat, my only concern is whether this behavior is normal or not, and whether I should start the whole warranty war sooner.
Well I wouldn't be bothered tbh.. I've had 42°c while heavy usage and charging. If your phone overheats and burns out send it in then.. No point doing it now unless your warranty is out soon?

41.5, but how much did you strain the device? Today in a room where the temp was +-30-31C, while browsing XDA (which seemed to strain the device a bit) I got up to 44...
Also checked the idle tempretures, it's usually the same as the room temp at the moment, so it's not that it's always hot, just when used.
R: [Q] Regarding heat
Its weird that it should heat up while doing normal stuff...im on international version and last time it heated up was while i was playing modern combat 4 online after 2 hourse while connected to charger....so maybe youve got prpblems if it heats up like that only by viewing messages. I watch videos and browse the internet everyday, it never heats up. Im using stock rom and syiah ketnel...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
While doing regular stuff like messages etc it doesn't heat up much. The first test was done while browsing, but I kept it at 40% load and 1400mhz, so it can't not heat up. I think that room temperature matters, I live in a hot area, today was 31C.

I've had that "problem" (well it's not really a problem, only a minor annoyance during warm seasons) with stock rom too.
Didn't have that much experience with other roms and kernels (I'm very picky with features) but I never noticed it on Siyah with Wanamlite.
Stock kernel is far too happy to ramp up clock speeds to slightly improve response time (or so is the theory... practice is not noticeable) so it will heat up your device. More heat of course also means higher battery drain .
Note that a protection around your device usually keeps you from noticing this fact (while the phone gets even warmer due to worse cooling)

I've also noticed this heat problem, I'm also on a stock rom.
Using the "CPU power saving" in the Power Saving setting has helped, so I figured it was the kernel ramping itself up.
It's not that noticeable to run at a lower cpu frequency except that some games are sometimes choppy now
The fact that stock rom likes to ramp up the clock speeds is correct. Just by simply fast scrolling back and forth through pages on forums etc makes it go up to 1400mhz and keep it at 40% load, that's why I get the higher temps.
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.

Thanks for the input everyone.
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

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.
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the LG G6 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Basically non-existant even with heavy use. Most of the heater is at the top of the phone. LG put heat pipes that attach to the battery so it's likely this is what reduces the heat substantially.
I have never had a phone that would not get heat under extensive use, heck even my computers do that. People have to be realistic about such a measure and understand how much processing power is being used in a tiny compartment. If you run an engine in a sealed box with very little venting in comparison to running an engine in the open... it's GOING TO GET HOT. People need to understand this and be more realistic when looking for a phone that they think will be ice cold at all times.
The phone does stay cool. I have tried the samsung galaxy S7 Edge snapdragon and it just is terrible once it gets hot. That is important for performance.
It deals with heat much better than a lot of phones. The LG G3 was a much worse offender and overheating even caused some hardware problems for me with that phone. The G6 really isn't bad at all.
Battery died after 14 hours of of google maps, streaming music over bluetooth and recording videos. just before dieing, the Clean Master app showed the cpu tempurature at 42 degrees, with one of those clear otterbox cases on. With the Otterbox off the cpu sits about 32 degrees with med-heavy use
Well, of you try Antutu, the second time you will obtain 100k points and nor 150k as usual.
And the phone becaumes very hot.
Op3T with same processor didn't do it
Hi my CPU runs at 35-36 Deg at idle time when. do some simple tasks such as browsing our watching YouTube it hits 40 Deg and while playing games it goes to 43 Deg that's the max I've seen in the device. I monitor the temperature using the cpu temperature app. I also get a poor SOT of 4 hours max, IDLE Time and to draw too much power
A weird thing is happening with my mobile for the past 2 days. my phone never went beyond 36C even when I use it in direct sunlight sometimes. and my phone felt warm only when i used it in direct sunlight. otherwise no matter what the temperature, my phone stayed very lil warm. from Day before yestrday , during my travel, or when idle. the phone starts at 26-28C, and suddenly raises upto 33. and today it set a all time high going till 39C and the phone felt pretty much warm even when there was no sunlight and the ambient temperature throughout my travel stayed at 25C. i was just seeing youtube videos, for which my phonw never even got a bit warm, today it was high. and even unlocking and replying in fb messenger gets it to 36-37C. what suddenly happened to my Mobile. I'm pretty much mobile. for something which never crossed 36 suddnely going near 40 and feels pretty warm to touch.

Network reception problems / something running heavily in the background / an app was updated and now causing increased CPU usage / phone running too long without a reboot.
First of all, have you tried rebooting the phone?

Guess I did that yesterday and let's see. so you're suggesting the phone should be rebooted once in while? if so the frequency!
and network recetion, I travel through the same route everyday, so the network pretty much remains the same.. and I was usingFB Messenger, how can i know which app is running in the background. and updates, was configured to run only on Wifi, I was on mobile data, so no updates were going on thanks for the response though. Kindly help me, coz this is driving me crazy, this is one helluva awesome phone so I don't want it to go crazy too

Of course, phone should be rebooted sometimes, in order to cancel some cache files produced by Android. A frequency? My suggestion is what suits better for you. In any case at least once every 10/15 days or so, but even less if you prefer.
About network: the fact that you've travelled all day long is probably a reason of higher temperatures and higher stand-by drain, because when you travel you change your position frequently and the phone has to find mobile signal through constantly new antennas, causing it to work often even if the screen is off.
You can find apps running in background in developer options, under "active processes" or something like that. If you want to check if there's something eating your battery in background (and therefore heating the phone too) you can download GSam Battery Monitor and check after a day of usage what's under wakelocks.
Anyway, in my opinion you shouldn't worry about a temperature of 39°C. I think it's completely normal. However, we have a very good heat pipe, and that temperature is just warm, not even close to being called hot, so you don't have to worry about it. Under 65°C (and even more) there's no danger and there's not thermal throttling, this means that the phone runs perfectly fine and doesn't low CPU frequencies.

You're absolutely right! I should never worry about that at all. but the thing is for all the same scenarios my phone became a little warm and never crossed 36, provided that there is suficient airflow outside, if not I'm stable in traffic, my phone irrespective of temperature, it gets sufficiently warm. I cant imagine the same during summer as temp here would raise to even 42C, which eventually will make my mobile more hot. even for simple taks, my phone become, a bit warm, but not more than that. remaining the same. regardless of temperature, my phone is getting warm. the warmness is all I'm worried about. I know this is the coolest phone because, I used to have a OP3 which became way too hot!
the real reason I got worried is that, my mobile went to that reported temp of 39C, anf felt pretty warm, when I was just using Wynk Music App, and watching some pre-stored videos in my sd card through default LG video player and replying to Messages.
AND YES, while travelling today it began behaving even more wierder which i didn't experience in my Oneplus, travelling, pphone locked with only Wynk music player running, and the ambient is 25 and the phone got upto 34C without any usage, unlocking and replying to SMS will make phone bit warm.. and whereever my bus stops idle for a minute or so, the temperature increases inn my mobile.. Why is this happening to me

Gsam says, collective CPU apps, my phone is not rooted
Does anyone else's G6 warm up when using the cameras? It stays cool most of the time but once you switch on the camera and take 1-2 photos, it starts warming up. The battery also starts dropping faster. This isn't too bad with the LG app but it gets noticeably warm with the Google Camera app. Is this normal? Going to buy the Spigen case for it so not sure if it will help with the heat dissipation.
The battery dropping faster also worries me if the phone can be used as a main camera on a trip.

You can grant permissions with ADB commands and without root, check for "more stats" inside the app

I think it's pretty normal, since HDR+ processing takes a lot of resources

Bro sry to disturb you.. My device is connecting as unauthorized. Tried all possibilities. Still unauthorized and cant connect ?
Do you have ADB enabled in developer settings?

Android Services.
music streaming app.
both are the top consumption.. but still worried about this. I travel. noapps in background. heat automatically raises for nothing :crying:

"No thermal throttling" no there definitely is, sorry, I can feel it. Benchmarks get cut in half after about an hour of use. However I think it's rather excessive throttling. Perhaps it's to do with the bootloop issue...
