I used a 9cmX4cm heatsink from Amazon and some thermal paste/epoxy, fit perfectly, and it hasn't overheated yet, just gamed for about 45 min, and the heatsink was barely warm.

http://www.amazon.com/20mm-Aluminiu...50MR8CG/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_i/179-5237737-1717433

Have a replacement back and second battery/external charger coming, will trim the back to fit the heatsink and have a back/battery for day to day use of the Note 4, will swap them out for VR use. I can trim the fins a bit and get the transparent cover on it, I think it'll work fine with a bit less surface area with the trimmed fins.

Am still pretty impressed with what Samsung has done, but it's not ready for general consumer use yet till they get the heat management sorted out.

I'm sure someone will come out with a little clip on "fan " back that runs off a triple A battery.
[Samsung Gear VR] ciscostud:
I put an ice pack between the phone and visor.
[Samsung Gear VR] mitchellvii:
Any condensation or fogging issues? If your face is warmer than the lenses you will fog.
[Samsung Gear VR] ciscostud:
I was just messing around, however there may be a way that I've been thinking about that might work for everyone!

I used to have a IcePack collar for my dogs neck. It may fit perfectly around the removable plastic visor and they also come in all sizes.

[Samsung Gear VR] schulrog:
I created a solution that utilizes a 50x50x10 fan with an on/off switch and made a circuit board with 3 USB ports in various locations, which powers the fan and the phone. no more overheating and no more swapping batteries or any of that nonsense. lol
[Samsung Gear VR] Rushmore69:
I only use the Gear VR for movies. I have tried games though and they run hot and suck the battery quickly as others report. Hence why I use mine just for movies now. Still a worthy purchase IMO just for movies :)
[Samsung Gear VR] Nickoz:
Fan.

I needed the most modular setup to attach/detach Note quickly. To keep heat under control, you only need minimal amount of airflow, best directed at warmest spot, right below the camera.

In my experience, even 40x40x10mm will do. I was able to demo Gear VR for 4 people in a room with ambient temperature over 72 deg, with constant videos and 3D.

Anything that involves removing back plate sucks. Your default back plate will wear out the little tabs, start creaking if done often. My wireless charring back is harder to put on (and expensive to monkey around with). I ended up with small piece of black velcro on the back, and the 40mm fan is quick to put on/remove (connecting velcro piece placed on its hub), it doesn't need to be aligned carefully, you don't need to worry about sticking fingers in it etc. I have it rigged to USB, fed by USB port on MOGA controller or a small battery pack.

The only time when I was able to overwhelm that fan was when my buddy played Anshar Wars while we were casting the screen to Chromecast - but this is extreme. 50 mm would probably keep up just fine.
[Samsung Gear VR] kwmikos:
Any other solution to get over this direct problem please?

Can anyone post images of slim moded solution ;) ?
[Samsung Gear VR] rushless:
Jeepers. If channeling that much heat through the battery to need this, that is bad for the battery and the device overall. Another reason why I just watch movies, since seems too much for the current chipset design. That, or poor power management firmware........
[Samsung Gear VR] yomiguy:
I'm avoiding this problem for a long time by selecting saving mode in note 4, don't disturb mode and confortable mode in gear vr. Last day I could watch the entire 3 chapter of game of thrones, and after that 30 minutes playing hero of bounds, and no heating message showed up, I just stopped to go to bed ;)

Keep pushing

[Samsung Gear VR] nynativ:
Dumb question but can you use the Gear VR without the battery in the phone and just power it via the USB cable? Would that help with the overheating?
[Samsung Gear VR] MartiniGM:
I went "the heat sink route" as well today.. I bought this 60x150x25mm aluminum heat sink. Since the heat sink was so large i drilled a hole for the camera so or else the heat sink wouldn't be tight enough to the phone to work properly. But the after the hole was done and I was going to try it for a fit... the heat sink was actually too wide to fit between the clips that keep the phone in place. :eek:

So I had to cut of a couple of centimeters. Of course my previous camera hole had to be cut away. But after a while I got the whole thing pretty right. Now I fitted the heat sink to the external cover. There it sits quite tight so I can press the the heat sink against the phone before use.

Often I sit with one hand one the touch pad and the other hand on the left side.

But what was so awesome was that I could play for like... forever... before I've always ended up with overheating . But now the there was no heat problems, no lagging or any smoothness problems. Btw I have Note 4 Snapdragon. A new experience.. I've tried all the gfx and cpu intense stuff.. and it was smooth like butter..

And the moment the mod is pretty rough.. just a proof of concept.. . maybe I Dremmel the sharp edges at least.

On first pic I covered the contact points and the lens.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tonochito:
So i got my second HTC One Sprint for the gsm as i live in Panama i can use it without problems, my first one i sold it but i love it and i get not so long a black one on 80 bucks and the seller was selling it as for parts or non working, just because it was with cyanogenmod 11 and it was untested "as is" so i took the risk to buy it knowing i could restore it with the ruu. However i am with a pain in the ass that i can't get it back to stock, i have tried with two differents ruu and both of them get stuck at the phase of cheacking header at 4% in a loop i have change it with bad boyz room and cyanogenmod, but honestly i don't like custom roms i prefer a stock rom rooted without bloatware and crapware and as Sprint is not so intrusive as Verizon ( almost all past phone i had have been Verizon) i wanted to put it stock cuz i'm waiting Lollipop. I have already unlocked the gsm for use here and i didn't have problem but with the bad boyz rom i have the loop of hands free something that i didn't had with the other one. I don't know if i have screwed up in the process of unlocking the gsm and that's the reason that i can't get it back to stock.

When i get it it was S-On and hboot and it's on 1.55, previously one was on 1.57 that was way harder to get the S-off and even with that one i got the no OS installed and i could recover it through the ruu that i have in my laptop, but with this one i don't know what i am doing wrong that i can't get it to stock. I tried with my laptop and desktop but also i don't know if windows have to do something with it because with the other one i was running windows 8.1 but now i am on 7.

Hope somebody can't help me to get it to stock, i don't want to give up but i am having 2 days trying to put it stock

Hi , on my HTC one max when I try to edit build.prop it gets saved but when I reset my device for applying changes it returns to stocked any one that can help me .

I am root, S-OFF.
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Make sure you are mounting /system as RW first. By default it is RO. If you have root explorer it's just easy as clicking the RW button but if not there is always terminal and a command you enter.
[HTC One Max] sonu42197:
My system is RW and I have used each file manager but can you tell how to do this with terminal?

Please.
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Terminal I mentioned to mount your system as RW. Why not edit your build.prop on computer and push it to your device in recovery mode.
[HTC One Max] sonu42197:
Tried to do it with adb but it comes back to original one.
[HTC One Max] ASCIIker:
i was able to successfully change the build.prop file by using the file manager in twrp recovery.

i kept the modified file on my sd card, went into recovery, fired up the file manager, browsed to my sd card, selected the modded file, chose the copy option, then chose the /system folder as the destination. rebooted and the changed file stayed changed! :)

my device is rooted, bootloader unlocked, and s-on.

root explorer with r/w mounting didnt work for me...file would revert after reboot.

also tried "cp" command in terminal in recovery...didnt seem to copy successfully.

hope this helps!

This thread is solely dedicated to discussing battery life on the Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) running android 5.0 (either Vietnam or Russia release).

After upgrading to 5.0, many SM-N900 users have complained about poor battery as compared to KK or even JB.

I will post screenshots of my batt usage.

However, it is important to note that battery usage varies from person to person depending on how much they use their phone, network coverage among many other issues.

Lets get this started :)

Note the battery usage when the phone is idle and when it is in use.

Had SafeStrap, went to install a new ROM tonight and didn't notice it was not for NC5. It loaded up a fancy boot animation and wouldn't load, so I wiped it. Put a NC5 rom on my sd card, put it into the phone and now no matter what I can't get past the logo. I can boot into recovery, but when I flash a ROM, same thing it just gets stuck on the logo when booting. What is the next step to unbrick? I see nothing for NC5 around.

Sprint HTC One on 1.57 HBOOT having very serious issues, cannot boot properly (reboots after booting to lockscreen), can boot into fastboot and have flashed TWRP recovery. Tried to install several ROMs, only CM11 boots past lockscreen but still random hanging and rebooting. My question is if it is p[ossible to S-OFF so I can flash firmware to see if it can fix the issues I'm having with the phone? If Sunshine is the only way then I'm stuck because I can't operate the phone past lockscreen without the phone rebooting. If there is any other way, please can anyone kindly point me in the right direction? Thanks.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jdjohn:
Which version of TWRP are you running? I would say you need at least a 2.7 version, if not 2.8. Then I would download a stock, rooted ROM like this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50561404&postcount=2 Note that is NOT an RUU (which will try to change your firmware), but just a stock rooted ROM. You are rooted, right? Of course do a factory reset in TWRP before flashing; it will not erase your sd card storage. Assuming you get the ROM installed, then you can download Sunshine and run it. Sunshine requires a stock (or VERY close) anyway, so you'll be in perfect shape for that. Once you get s-off, you can run amuck :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireWire22:
Okay, so this is a strange question, but I think that it is worth asking. Are there such things as "fake" Nexus 5's out there? I've heard of all the fake Galaxys out there, but I've never heard of a fake Nexus yet. I'm asking because I am set to buy a white one off of Craigslist tomorrow for $200 and due to my inexperience with this device I figured I'd ask my peers here at XDA. And if you have any hints or tips of what to look for before I buy it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!

If you think it would help I can post or PM a link.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I've never heard of a fake nexus 5, and I doubt what you're about to buy is a fake. That said, even the fake devices (iPhone, Galaxy, etc...) out there are obviously fake, and if you've seen a real one in person, you'll be able to tell. If you're that concerned, just download a system/hardware info app and it'll tell you exactly what hardware you have. I just looked in the play store and found this one- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dama.hardwareinfo

Anyway, I seriously doubt you have anything to sorry about. Post the link.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireWire22:
Thanks!

Cool, like I said I'm kind of foreign to this device so I didn't know if it was even a possibility so I thought that I had better ask before I "waste" 200 bucks on this thing. I've actually never seen a Nexus 5 in person lol but I like the idea of owning a straight up Google device for many reasons. Anyways thanks a ton for getting back to me on this subject... I was at a loss. The other thing I thought of doing is running the IMEI through a site I found www.IMEI.info. I tested it on my Atrix HD a little while ago and it seemed pretty accurate.

Also here is the CL link: http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/mob/4876474220.html
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Yeah, it looks legit. Honestly man, you have nothing to worry about. I actually find the concept of a kirf nexus to be pretty humerous. The only real concern is if it's stolen or not but since the ad says it was purchased from the play store, ask them to bring a proof of purchase. I've done that for people before. And ALWAYS put your SIM card in and test it before letting them walk away with your money.

All that said, you're buying an amazing device and you're going to love it. I buy a new phone every few months, and even though I have a 2014 Moto X and an iPhone 6, I still use my N5 regularly. I don't think I've ever kept/used a smartphone past the year mark before, but the N5 is really something special. So yeah, you're gonna be real happy with it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireWire22:
That's awesome man and thanks again for all of your help. Its really assuring since it seems you're like me with these android devices lol. None of mine have ever lasted more than 6 months before I'm ready to sell one and start rooting and flashing away on something new. And I've always lurked all the forums on here so I knew where to come for such an off key question. Plus it gave me a good reason to look in the N5 development section :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Hey no prob bud, happy to help. I think we have a problem lol, I don't know how people can keep a smartphone for 2 years, seems crazy to me. I just got the Moto X and iPhone a couple months ago and I'm already planning on buying the Saygus V2. I will say this though, when the N5 does finally retire, I absolutely will not sell it. It's gonna go in the museum. There's just something about it that makes me want to hang on to it forever. I feel like this is most "nexus" of all the nexus phones. Does that make any sense??? Lol

Crack flashin'!

Haha, I wouldn't say we have a problem, but my ex certainly would and has said that. And I definitely don't know how someone could make it 2 yrs, I always do prepaid monthly stuff (atm, Cricket) so it makes it really easy to "flip phones" on Craigslist and keep things interesting for myself. I honestly change so much that I always forget to change what devices I'm using until well after they are gone lol. And WOW, that was the first I've heard of that Saygus so I looked it up and yeah.. I'm speechless. Anyways, this Nexus 5 does seem like the most Googlesque Nexus so far but I've only tinkered with its predecessors. The closest I've come to owning one otherwise was last Winter when I bought an AT&T Optimus G and I LOVED it so I now I really can't wait to swoop up my N5 in a few hours. Anyways... I'm sure I'll see ya around in the forums and if you have any advice on some fun stable ROMS plz PM with me the info.

Ha, battery life is not as bad as I expected to be honest. I read a lot about the device before I even thought about buying one and from the reviews I read on multiple sites I was kind of worried that it would be TERRIBLE. But actually not too bad considering that I haven't let the screen turn off much since I picked it up earlier. I also expected worse battery life from the sheer performance of this phone.. it is LIGHTNING fast compared to my old G2 and especially my Atrix HD.
