More overheating tweaks!

I been trying to further lower the temperature of my Ecoo E04 last weeks and it turns out quite well, sharing what I did and hope it benefits your phone also.

First - I stick some aluminum foil to the overheating areas (below the flash light), inspired by this thread, not the same phone but the concept is the same.

The aluminum foil will act as a heatsink, it will quickly dissipate the heat generate at the overheating areas. Unfortunately I do not have other camera to take a shot of how I did the aluminum foil on Ecoo E04 but just cover the overheating area and don't cover the antenna on the both side.

After 1 days of testing, the temperature did not improve much but can feel the heat spread to the cover more faster (maybe just me). But I did not remove the aluminum foil and leave it on, reason you will find out below.

-----------------

Second - Next, I proceed to download the tweak that many xda users are talking about, L SPEED v2.2 REVOLUTION

http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138

After few days of testing, the results is very good to control the heating issue and also improved the battery a little (will talk more about L Speed and battery in next post). I would say this L Speed is an amazing piece of software, not only it reduce the heat of the phone but also speed up your phone and reduce lags. If you want to know how to install this tweak visit the link above.

Once you installed L Speed, this is setting you need to reduce heating issue, go into cpu tuner (option no.6) and On the Multicore energy saver:

Temperature with no app except 3ctoolbox running, it can go as low as 31 degree Celsius in idle state:

Temperature with playstore downloading files, floating window playing video, Titanium backup to backup all apps, music playing song. My notification icons are a little distorted (still trying to fix that) because I reduced the screen dpi from 480 to 403, so I have more screen space and things looks smaller. I have reduce the frequency to 936Mhz and governor to Interactive, I found that interactive react faster than powersave and also it control heat well. Phone temperature hardly go over 50 degree Celsius.

-----------------

Third - I purchased a Graphite Ice Pad, this ice pad claim to -5 degree Celsius from the heat and can dissipate heat quickly and is only 0.1mm thick, I tested a few days and truly it can reduce like 2-3 degree Celsius, it will not dramatically reduce your phone heat but it helps a little. Minus few degree Celsius may not be very helpful but can feel the phone cool down more faster. I paste the pad directly below the flash light, this is the area that overheat and is long enough to cover some part of the battery and helps to cool it down too. The reason I did not remove the aluminum foil that I stick earlier on is because the aluminum foil also helps to dissipate heat and that will transfer heat faster to the Graphite Ice Pad.

Fourth - I also bought a flip cover for my phone, it also make a hell lots of different because when you are holding the phone you do not directly hold on to the phone back cover, the flip cover isolate some heat from the phone and your hand, so is a good buy for this.

-----------------

Please also note I have init.d and 3ctoolbox installed.

I know I have gone a little over extreme about reducing the heat of this phone but overall the experience is good :), hope it helps your phone also.
