PS: just two question if I may...? - your screenshot does not shows "Kestrel.txt" only "Kestrel"... did you load the Kestrel.txt with ExKernel anyway...? - Did you turn ON the "apply on boot"...? Does it work...? Mine doesn't... Thanks again! EDIT: notice the different temperature...? The...

It is a hardware problem that a lot of people are trying to control with software. Look, my Samsung 1.2 dual core used to do much more, including gaming, without any heat issue. I left it because Samsung do not update ROMs to the middle and lower level devices. One day I wanted to install an app...

True, I noticed that with ExKernel. At least with the Kestrel profile. But it shows the tendence of the governor. I mean it makes sense, people need performance anyway. Thanks.

PS: "Interactive also makes the assumption that a user turning the screen on will shortly be followed by the user interacting with some application on their device. Because of this, screen on triggers a ramp to maximum clockspeed, followed by the timer behavior described above." - this might...

Governors: Interactive Vs. OnDemand explained to newbies like me. By rEcEivEr @ http://androidforums.com/threads/android-cpu-governors-explained.513426/ "Much like the OnDemand governor, the Interactive governor dynamically scales CPU clockspeed in response to the workload placed on the CPU by...

Yes, I understand that each script is intended to be used with a certain governor, sure. For now I am just trying to understand the pros & cons of each governor. I am using SMIUI 6.8.18. Didn't have a change to make it through a fire test yet though.

@Raventlov posted it earlier, page 1: it's the manual procedure to load the Kestrel script, and you'll need two apps, one in the phone and one in the computer for a ssh conection between them. Then it's easy - it's a great tutorial. Because I reboot the phone often, and the script will be lost...

Ok... in my list of experiments...! Thanks

I used to have a cover, by the time of Miui 7. With Miui 8 I don't use it anymore as I started to notice higher heating problems. Believe me I've been using the Kestrel profile loaded with the ExKernel app. Battery is fine, heat is not. Again, it is a well known processor issue, it's a design...

I will not enter into that right now, but I will follow closely...! Thanks for sharing...! EDIT: well I am ready... right after you...! (sorriso) I still need my phone to work and for personal purposes - I can't take the risk of ending up with a brick in my hands...!!!

Hi, regarding SMIUI I did not find any tweaks to tweak - I don't know what they mean by "thermal tweaks". I've been using a governor profile managed by an app which did improve battery life. I'am thinking about using both at the same time: SMIUI and the Kestrel profile... And we will see if the...

No problem! Actually we can use all the help we may have. I've been asking that same question from the start. No answer. But I guess we all do a very different use of the phone, and also the heat concept is subjective.

- just to remember you that this thread is under a Mi4C device forum. So you are wellcome but you will find that we are talking about a different processor. The Redmi 3 has a 1.2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor, which is very different from the one used in the Mi4C...!

Hi...! Thanks for sharing. This thread is to exchange information and try to find possible solutions. So, actually no one knows for sure what the problem is, and we are testing several suggestions from other users. Keep in touch and have a look to earlier posts...!

Hi, well the thing is that I don't even need a lot of power. Two days ago I used the GPS for 35 km in my car. The phone got so hot that if I had to answer a call I would have to wait it to cool down...! My dual core Samsung did much more than this without any significant heat. Surfing the...

That's the point: I think Mi4C is fading away in the market, and on the other hand if it's a processor design issue, I don't think it will worth the effort. I mean, for light users the battery is doing great, and the heat may be manageable. It's just for those who need horse power that it became...

I think too. But the thing is: Mi4c is around for almost one year, there are a lot of different governors with plenty scripts and apps to use them... why is it so hard to get one combination that keeps a good control of the CPU usage...? Is it really necessary to cut off some cores...??? Makes...

While dealing with Governors did improve battery life, my phone heating problem remains. My use of the phone along with the SnapDragon 808 processor, and Miui 8, became a pain...! So now I am trying SMIUI - plain rom without third party apps that mess with thermal issues, for now... Because...

It's the second time I hear about smiui... I really have to look at it. Can't help you in the technical part, sorry. Thanks for sharing...!

Absolutely true. Was easy after I got your tip. I love when those Linux guru stuff are simple to do - no permissions issues, no console mode, no scripts... But again, while the battery managing looks good, I was just surfing the net and the phone went up to 41. Many thanks again...!
