Yes, this will be good. High W/m2 is good. And I can assure you that the whole process seems more complicated than it really is. You just undo all the screws (best to keep them in the same order as you took them off), take out the board, measure and cut the pad if needed, put paste on chip and metal frame stick pad onto it and put it all back together. Job done, no overheating even with long 4K recording.
[G3 General] derekoh:
Thanks.

I've just updated to the latest CM nightly (0114), and my temperature has dropped dramatically - idling at <40C - so I might just wait a while and see how the device behaves before doing this.

XSPC Thermal Pad Results on D855

I've used the 1mm XSPC Thermal Pad on my D855 and observed a 10ºC temperature drop! Even after several runs of Geekbench, temps are only around 45º. Idle temps are around 37º.

I believe the XSPC is rated at 6W/mK. I wonder how much of a difference will a 17 W/mK pad have, such as the Fujipoly SARCON XR-m?

If anyone's planning to buy a thermal pad, please buy the Fujipoly and let us know your results! :)
[G3 General] Mietas2:
Looking at your temps I wouldn't expect much difference. The temperature is low already.

Gonna be using my G3 with a homido VR headset to get an oculus/Vive lite setup. Thinking I'll do this mod but so curious about running with back off and battery taken out (don't mind being hardwired). Anyone mind running a heat bench without battery present and back off then seeing if screen gets hot at all?
[G3 General] tidaboy9:
Just an update, its been a year used artic silver and a copper shim. No problems.
[G3 General] Mugatu485:
Hey there,

I just tried out a 0.5mm thick self-adhesive thermal pad. To make sure there is full contact I also added some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut between the metal housing and the pad.

System temperatures dropped from about 80°C to 70°C max. when under load, while charging the battery. So far, so good!

But the bad news is that my screen is feeling much hotter after the mod. There is really a lot of heat at the top where the SoC is positioned. I am not quite sure how long the display will resist under those conditions. I plan to use this phone for at least two additional years (one year old so far). Would you say there is a foreseeable risk of the display to bleedout (even if only partially) over this time?

I am just curious because I own an old Galaxy Nexus which I used for several years, got very hot and suffered from a uneven illumination in some spots.

I am currently thinking about removing the pad / paste because of that :mad:

There may be a (technical?) reason why LG did not connect the SoC with the metal housing...
[G3 General] Mietas2:
I wouldn't worry about that too much. If you leave the pad, phone will run better. Maybe in months to come screen will fail or maybe not. If you remove the pad, than you might burn the CPU anyways. And G3 is cheap these days so that is not a big worry. Keep the pad and enjoy the phone! :)
[G3 General] Mugatu485:
May be...

I am just unsure because I am more of a long-time user. Used my Galaxy Nexus for about four years.

Throwaway society etc, you know :cool:

PS: Does somebody know which sensor of the G3 aligns to which part of the hardware?

There are "tsens_tz_sensor0" (up to "10"), "pm8841_tz" and "pm8941_tz" and "pa_therm0". Could not find anything specific for the G3 so far :(

Edit:

According to some posts on the net 7-10 are usually the four cores. They should to be fixed to the shutdown action in the thermal config.

I can also find the thermal-engine.conf on my phone (system/vendor/bin) but it appears to be crypted...

The only thing I can find and read is the thermal-engine-8974.conf (system/etc):

[CPU_LCD_management]
sensor: xo_therm_pu2

[GPU_management]
sensor: xo_therm_pu2

[battery_monitor]
sensor: xo_batt

[CPU0_MONITOR]
sensor: cpu0

[CPU1_MONITOR]
sensor: cpu1
...

Any idea which sensors (listed above) match with those?

Just asking because I want to monitor the temps on my homescreen and therefore need the IDs for those sensors.
[G3 General] ezantera:
Somebody tried with thermal pad on the other side of soc. Where is metal cap. I am considering removing metal cap and putting thermal pad on that chip also. It will release heat on metal power button. I see nobody here considering this. It should help, but how much...
[G3 General] DeLoVaN:
I know this is an old thread but I wanted to share my result.

I modded my G3 with 2 layers of 0.5mm thick thermal pad (only 1 seems insufficient IMHO). 1 layer of 1mm should do.

In the Antutu stress test, I went from 80 degrees max to 60 degrees max, at the cost of having the upper part of the screen very (very) hot.

In standard ops (browsing...) it went from 55-60 to 45-50.

[G3 General] xilverhawk:
Hello people...this is my first post after being a lurker for many a year :). Lots of great info and knowledge in this forum...it's my go to.

Just want to add that I tried this mod today partly as a training scenario and partly hoping to restore a junker with instant black screen fade I got off eBay a couple of days ago.

The oven procedure went well after disassembling the handset and I applied a thermal pad after it cooled down. Upon reassembly, it turned on and the screen displayed which it didn't before (yay).

Time to TWRP and ROM up to Oreo, then switch the kernel to something that has excellent thermal management. Any ideas?
[G3 General] xilverhawk:
Just a quick update, after FINALLY getting the phone flashed to Lollipop and then TWRP put on, I've managed to flash Liquid Remix and the phone has been fine so far. Extra bonus....I got the 3 & 32GB version! Didn't expect that ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] IdiotSavante:
Lately my S5 has been turning on the WiFi all by itself, and it seems to happen when the signal gets low. I'm assuming it's trying to stay connected.

I've turned off all the usual culprits, and haven't found anything that's "on", but it's still doing it.

Anyone experience this that can shed a light?

Thanks.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fermon:
Hi everyone, i just want to know if there are a software to convert img kernels to ftf kernels or if ftf kernels for Xperia mini pro exist, this question is because if so then we could flash any rom regardless bootloader status on our device and everyone with locked bootloader would enjoy benefits of O.C and Cool Custom ROMS just like xperia play does with its ftf kernels.

Thank you in advance.:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheScriptKitty:
You got it all wrong. The only way to Flash a Custom Kernel is to Unlock your Bootloader first. The reason I converted .img files into .ftf files is so that people that unlocked their Bootloader via the Test Point Method and had "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No" would be able to flash Custom Kernels, because in this scenario they would not get access to Fast boot Mode but will be able to flash Unofficial Firmware via FlashTool.

I do not have the Xperia Mini Pro, so if anyone wants to test a FTF kernel for it here it is:

[SK17][Kernel][FTF]nAa-3.4.45-V03[JB]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fermon:
did you convert it or did you find it somewhere, if you convert it would you tell me how you did it?, and thank you for your work converting img to ftf for xperia because thanks to you i'm using Xperia Play Z by Mark, i tried to convert his kernel but it does not work to me (it gave me bootloop) but with his kernel converted by you i finally did it.:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheScriptKitty:
I Converted it. I used the same method that's for the Xperia Play. That is why i want some one to test if it works.

EDIT:

I'll just reply here and not your PM
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fermon:
I tried it today and it does not work, :crying: for one moment i thought it will flash but no, i was excited with the idea to have custom kernel in locked BL :( sk17.

Thankyou anyway. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheScriptKitty:
[MENTION=5839747]fermon[/MENTION]

I don't think you understand the purpose of Kernels converted to FTF files. First of all Unlocking the Bootloader on any phone isn't exactlly the ability to use Fast Boot Mode but the ability to flash Unofficial Kernels(Custom Kernels),independently of being it done either with Fast Boot Mode or Flash Mode. So by Unlocking the Bootloader of a Xperia Play(Using the Test Point Method) with "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No" you get the ability to Flash Unofficial Kernels(Custom Kernel) but not the ability to use Fast Boot Mode, and so the need of Flashing a Custom Kernel via another method arises and that's where Converting Kernels into FTF files and Flashing them via Flash Mode comes into place.

Now, I am not a Developer nor an Expert in hardware, but in theory this method should at list work on all 2011 Xperia Phones. If you would be willing to try this on your Xperia Mini Pro and it ended up working. This could help a lot of people(with "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No") not only the Xperia Mini Pro but all the 2011 Xperia Phones.

So if you want to help, try Unlocking your Bootloader using the Test Point Method. I also want to say that this could be risky since it only has been tested on the Xperia Play.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fermon:
I tried it doing test point before flash it in flashmode with flashtool, you know, first test point->patch semcboot->flash ftf with flashtool in flashmode. I saw in a post a method to "be able to use" fastboot on sk17, since is my mother in law's phone this method is not suitable, so i'll try with your ftf but not in near future, maybe when i get one sk17 just for me. Talvez en las chacharas.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Risley1:
Has anyone got a fix for this? It's driving me crazy. At first I thought it was caused by a specific keyboard like Swype or Swiftkey or Google Keyboard. However after trying about every keyboard available in many different situations the screen pulsing brightness is very intermittent and I can't figure it out. What does amaze me is that a tiny little blinking cursor can cause the whole screen to pulse bright/dim in timing with the cursor.

A fix for this would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks

On CM11 snapshot M7, wife was getting crappy signal...

So I flashed XXMS4 - it is mostly working, apart from the Wifi settings menu...

If wifi is turned on - from within settings menu the following pops up 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped'.

Weird thing is wifi still connects to home network... but, if wifi settings menu cannot launch - how will better half connect to new networks!?

Any one point to a newer modem than XXMS4?

Perhaps a link to CM11 modem (can I restore modem through recovery via advanced?? I have a full nandroid, minus gapps etc.

T.I.A

Just thought perhaps it's CM11 SSM7 bug...

as I only connected to wifi via setup after flashing rom... never went through wifi settings menu...

might explain why the 3 alternate modems I've tried keep returning with same issue ^^

Might backup current, then restore nandroid -if same issue present - will update to M9 :fingers-crossed:
[Moto X Themes and Apps] PiousInquisitor:
They say a PICTURE is worth a thousand words...

WORKS WITH:

Unlocked bootloders only. If you are locked pray Dan releases an unlock tool or look for the china mddleman thread.

This should work on any Moto X, running stock or a stock based ROM. It may work on an AOSP ROM as well. To verify this simply check to make sure Keygurad.apk is located in /system/priv-app/. If its there flash away.

ZIP TYPE;

The flashable zip file is vrTheme zip. Flashing it doesn't overwrite the whole Keyguard.apk, only the images ive modified.

UNDO:

Reverting back to stock should be easy peasy. Look in /storage/emulated/0/vrtheme-backup/system/priv-app and you should find your original Keyguard.apk. Simply overwrite the one in /system/priv-app change permissions and reboot.

TUTORIAL:

If anyone would like to know how to make their own lockscreen theme let me know and ill post a mini writeup.

DOWNLOADS:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44601870/Moto_X_Mods/colors_keyguard_1.1.zip

INSTALL:

Flash in TWRP

CHANGELOG:

8-11-14 - Colors_keyguard.zip - Initial Release

8-12-14 - Colors_keyguard_1.zip - added better support for AOSP ROMs. Larger unlocked activated button.

8-12-14 - Colors_keyguard_1.1.zip - Fixed the unlock normal image to fit with AOSP ROMs better.

DISCLAIMER:

While this modification shouldn't cause any problems, things go wrong sometimes. Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone.

I picked one up for my daughter without much thought. I can't imagine buying a phone that doesn't have expandable storage or replacabe battery. She's really happy with it, coming from a hand-me-down iPhone 4and has already had fun laughing at small iPhone screens with me.

It's got a good enough proc and memory to run touchwiz I guess, but I'd LOVE to run some AOSP on the for her so she can see what android is really about.

[General Questions and Answers] hiryusama:
So glad this phone is finally getting some attention. I switched from my galaxy s2 skyrocket to this one. Although it runs touchwiz its pretty stable with rare hiccups. Its a speedy slick phone. The only drawbacks so far for me have been the camera, 5mp is too low for a new phone. Skyrocket had 8mp. And the screen. Coming from a super amoled to this one the colors are kinda washed out and the white looks kind of blueish. Aside from that root on this phone will get rid of all the bloat and samsung crap and speed it up nicely. So far so good. Must note that this phone is lacking some pretty basic stuff like auto brightness, a dedicated button to turn off data on notification bar, multi window support, the volume is low. On the other hand the minimized call screen widget that appears when pressing home button during a call is a jice addition, along with the ability to quick reply messages similar to how AOSP does it. Hope we get root soon!

I did the same. I bought it for my son he loves it i had bought the Galaxy Light for him unfortunately 4gb of internal storage is not enough. The problem he had was even with an external 32gb not all the apps can be moved but with the Galaxy Avant has enought space and is big enough for him to enjoy so he is happy so am i. btw you can install the Google launcher from the store makes it alittle better with Google now everywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] spaniolo:
I am also a big fan of the Galaxy S2 from T mobile, awesome custom Roms I have enjoyed that phone until the sim card reader gave up, but I felt it needed a bit more Ram...

About the camera on the Avant, we cannot expect a top end camera in a super budget phone that already has other great specs and quite honestly, after I took a few pics with the camera already and I have nothing to complain; sure not as great as the higher end phones but the pics I took today at a restaurant of my girlfriend with the beauty face mode came out perfect!! I got tons of likes in Facebook.

The screen... it is not as bright and over exposed as the AMOLED ones but... I put it side by side with the galaxy S5 at T-mobile store, opened the exact same web page.. and it blew my mind the fact that the background on this phone's screen had a nicer white/ blue tone rather than the yellowish tone of the S5 and there was a difference in detail but not that huge...

Today I have been all day under the sun in Houston and I was amazed that I had no problem seeing the screen when set at almost full brightness and... the battery... after 22 hours with still 34% left... not bad at all.

So... back to the topic, for me this is like a Galaxy S2 minus camera and screen but with more Ram (1.5 Gb) and more processor Power (quadcore 400 snapdragon 1.2 Ghz), 16 Gb internal memory and up to 64 gb with micro SD, Kit Kat 4.4.2, great size for one hand use, super light; once they get some great roms for this phone optimizing battery, processor and Ram, this phone will be a beast and at the best price in the market!! $216 dollars it is a steal. So this should be candy for the developers to create all kinds of awesome Roms.

I don't think you can expect more for the money... the perfect back up phone if you have a higher end phone as well... Let's hope more people get excited about The Avant...
