[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acparker18:
I do not see a high temperature property setting anywhere in the build.prop or hidden menu. I am using the Verizon variant (vs985) though so there may be some differences there. I would assume the high temperature property regulates the temperature at which throttling occurs; that is, if it is an actual value and not a True or False setting. The thermal daemon mitigation build.prop value is what actually turns the throttling on or off. By definition, a daemon is a service or background process that runs independently of the user to monitor and maintain software or hardware aspects of a device. Mitigation literally means to reduce the severity of something. Your post got me curious so I decided to be brave and turn the Thermal Daemon Mitigation Off setting on in my hidden menu (the setting has the word Off in it so turning it on technically means you are disabling the mitigation). I used my phone for the entire day and I didn't seem to notice any adverse affects on temperature or battery life under normal circumstances. I did notice a substantial increase in performance under heavy load, however. On stock kernel settings, I went from an Antutu score of ~38000 to ~41000 consistently. My phone's temperature, however, did top out at about 92 degrees Celsius, which is almost the boiling point of water and is right on par with Qualcomm's safe temperature limit for the 801 SoC. Other than benchmarks though, my phone stays around 50 - 60 degrees Celsius which is fine by me. Just be warned that you may experience some excessive heat under strenuous load, but Qualcomm's own built-in thermal protection "should" keep your phone from melting itself. I emphasis "should." Just so long as your battery isn't getting too hot along with it your phone shouldn't burst into flames.
