Heating issue of OPX while gaming - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I play some games (like NFS most wanted or D-Day) my opx becomes too hot on both sides & believe me I really mean "too hot". I'm facing this problem during game-plays only,not while using any other apps.
And also when I installed Real Racing 3 it required some additional download whereas the same game with same cache file ran on my iBall Andi 5Li.
Can someone help me fix these problems of OPX ?

That's not a problem with the device. Its the heat output of the processor. Try blu sparkspark and lowering the thermal limits to 60C. If that hurts try an undervolt to 940mv. It helps a ton

I'll try that, but would I be able to restore my stock kernel back if i make a nandroid backup?

Backup your stock kernel using nandroid 1st then flash.

Okay....

take a nandroid backup. Whenver you want to go back to stock kernel, just restore the system part.

Okay, I'll try that.........
Thank you all.

Just one more question - how to lower the thermal limit after installing blu spark?

Install kernel auditor and access the thermal hotplug.

There is no heating issue..
The backside of the Oneplus X is made of glass.
All devices with aluminium body or glass will heat up while playing these kind of games.(glass and aliminium conducts faster than plastic)
Real Racing 3 is a game with awesome graphic.(for smartphones^^)
If you've turned on Wifi , the device is heating up more quickly.(Internet connection required if you want to play RR3 with your Google Account, and download additional content like tracks, cars ....).
Can you tell us your temperature while playing RR3?

It never ran on my opx, it shows some cache files are
missing & it seems like I'll have to download approximately 500 mb more.
And I don't have any resource to measure its temperature........... Sorry

Thanks for the help...

Issue acc to me may be that -
1. Gpu is not going to its 100%
While Playing asphalt it took only 25-30% which results in lag and heating issue.
2. Gpu is overclocked in stock i.e 578mhz.
Solution:
Flash blu spark n Change the governer to blu active n clock the gpu to 450mhz!
The heating issue is solved for me by doing dis n no lags
Thanks!

Yeah Roms can influence rapid heating as some roms may force most apps to use maximum resources (like all processors) and thereby causing rapid heating but in cm we are given several settings for managing.
Also heavy hd games will heat up the phone regardless of the Rom.

Well most high end phone's are designed to handle heating but working the phone too long like that will reduce it's life, because of the stress on the hardware.

using ExTweaks?

I've looked around and can't find any info at all,
I play Gangstar Rio City Of Saints on my sgs2 but I experiance a lot of lag issues.
I'm hoping over-clocking/ changing cpu/gpu settings could eradicate this only ExTweaks has no instructions whatsoever and I don't want to make any n00b mistakes.
Can someone tell me how to optimize my phone for high-end gaming please?

This high end gaming should be, if your device is supported, possible without any lags and without OC. You have a rom with Siyah at this moment?

Yes, I'm on DiLiDroiD UHLPS, 3.0.15-Siyah-s2-v4.1.5+
thanks for your reply
I'm sorry, wouldn't know any other suggestions than to try this game with another (newer) rom and a upgraded Siyah version, and see if the problem still exists. OC shouldn't be necessary in my opinion.
Why don't you make a Nandroid back up and flash another rom to try?

I'm limited to what Roms I can use because I use Jkay Deluxe Settings, this app is a must for me.... while your here, could you advise me how to overclock safely(ish)
It all looks foreign to me, GPU FREQ STEP1- 100Mhz.......??? ExTweaks really should have a guide of some sort, ANY SORT!

I had the same problem you have with the browser app, it was really lagging when I clicked on a link, always took at least a few seconds to load the page. So I went onto ExTweaks and OC'd my CPU to 1600mhz and my GPU to all the highest settings, it didn't make any difference to my browser but now if I'm ever stranded in the Arctic I can use my phone to melt ice into water, for about 15 minutes before the batter dies that is.
Gta gangstar rio city is a poorly optimized game..so it will lag no matter what
So dont bother about this game..
I have also been struggling with finding rom/kernel combo for best gaming performance..and none of the users actually help here as they just want to underclock their s2 and have long batterry life and flaunt their s2..thats it!!!
for getting better fps..i would suggest using ondemand governer..and use 500-1400 mhz scaling on CPU and set your gpu to like 200-267-400 and set low thresholds..But beware this is for serious gaming only lol and will drain your battery pretty good..but u will get a fps boost of about 6-7. A slightly pretty lower setting is : cpu scaling same and set gpu to 200-267..with ondemand governer..this is also gives you a good gaming performance
also..download nenamark 2 and let me know what fps u get with siyah 4 kernel and note the settings in extweak used..im also thinking of switching from siyah 3.5 to 4 but got no time to test lol

I play so many HD games including Ganstar, NFS MW, Modern Combat 3 without no lag what so ever. And I do not use OC because it causes the phone to overheat. I think somethings wrong with your current ROM. Do a backup and try another ROM just to check

From my experience in general, only a few apps tend to overheat my sg2 (overclocked to only 1.4 Ghz though).

Blu_spark kernel gaming performance

People are stating that the performance is much improved after flashing the kernel. So I want to ask how does GTA sanandreas run on the device is it comparable to the ONEPLUS ONE ? Could anyone maybe upload a short sample to youtube of the game running at max settings on the device with the Blu_spark kernel ?
Video I found of gta performance with stock kernel skip to 2:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCfUUhp_M54
With Blu spark it's exactly as one plus one performance.

Possible yes but not with Blu spark. Noone working on it as far as I know. Eng.stk could implement it in Blu spark but does not want to, which is the correct decision in my opinion.

Why wouldn't it be the correct decision ? it could be completely optional
Yeah. I wish that someone would even make a 2.5ghz possible as optional. People that tweak with kernels usually know what they are doing plus one setting that is above the normal values would not even bloat it. Also we have thermal limit that will kick in that there will be no damage. It would be nice to experiment just a little bit.
Ps. Still one helluva kernel. Thanks to eng.stk
Great kernel. I use it on CM 13 with an incredible undervolt. I'd bet I could hit even 2.8ghz easily and stay under stock voltages. Loving it for everything else though.

Been my daily driver for a week. 729mhz was unstable so I had to raise it to 730mv from 725, but its great. Hence why I'd like more options for frequencies haha. I think I have an insanely high binned chip even though its an AA model. Can't wait to see what frequencies I can hit though.

Im just testing right now my new voltage values.
Now it seems like 930mv is also working for me. Not crashed after 3dmark, asphalt 8 and stability test. Also lowered 1900mhz to 915mv.
I think i can crash this with gta san andreas though.
E: WTF??? On OOS i could not uv under 950mv, but now i can. No crash and no slowdowns. Actually got a score of 1080 with 3dmark cloudgate. O_O

925 actually works too, but I had a few bugs. Rule of thumb is generally 10mv above whatever works so I settled with 935. I will test 930 though. Had to raise 1900 to 910. 905 gave me issues in stability testing.
The Phone is stable at these settings.

excuse me for being a noob, but, what's the main advantage of undervolting the cpu? is it done to achieve a longer battery life? it does not limit performance right?
i'm a new opx user and just flashed this awesome kernel and i'm interested in boosting performances of this awesome device.
may i have your current cpu volt setup? thanks a lot, sir.

You dont want to use anyones voltage settings. Undervolting is random. Some people get amazing results while someone gets crashing.
Undervolting cpu makes the phone run cooler and will save a bit of battery also.
Less heat also means that the cpu will propably survive a bit longer. Same goes for battery because cpu temps affect the battery too.
You just need to test all the voltages yourself and see what works and what does not.
Always make a backup that if something goes wrong you can always restore the system.
Also if you undervolt dont go complaining to devs about crashing or system lockups.

i didn't know if it was going to be this difficult haha. i thought using the same settings should be okay since its a same chipset and all, but i think its worth a shot.
okay then i'll go straight to kernel adiutor and set my own voltages.
another question and sorry if its out of topic, im using twrp 2.8.7.0 at the moment, i can create backup but i can't restore the backup, the error mentions about locked systems or partitions, forgot the exact error code, any ideas?

Just install the latest bluspark TWRP. It is working fine for me.
You can chmod 755 or 775 the sd card in TWRP it could make things better????
Dont know for sure about that one though.
If i remember correctly you can use the chmod command in TWRP's fike manager.

Anyone play PUBG?

May I know what rom you use to play this game? I use RR ps version but it lag a little bit when the device is hot mostly when charging..
rom doesn't matter this game will make the phone hot always, specially when you're charging because of quickcharge, just play in front of a fan

When Im running and want to watch behind my back pressing the eye button will make the screen shaking. Only if I press the eye button.. But when I'm not charging, screen not shaking..

kinda late but MIUI 12.0 or 12.5 are pretty heavy. i have POCO F3 (snap 870) suppose to run the game perfectly fine but still lagging and unplayable. once i changed to Pixel Experience rom the gameplay is buttery smooth with no drop high settings. other games are fine like PUBG or CODM on MIUI but genshin no. as for not deleting game files is kinda impossible. the banking apps problem if you install rom without safetynet support. i reccomend pixel experience for your phone

Does your phone overheat or smth? If it heats maybe cpu throttling. While playing check if your cpus and gpu are running at higher clock and not capped at certain min values (eg. Max cpu clock 500mhz, running the game 450-500mhz. If not try to manually adjust or try another rom
I see. Well I'll try to cpu and gpu clock first. Any recommended app for that? Thnx btw
