[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] soilentgreen:
Once I read on XDA that "free ram is wasted ram" (or something like that).

every time we closing apps we clear the ram, and every time we re-opened apps the phone use more CPU and battery. So should we add all apps to "Unmonitored apps"? Should we not adding any app to "Always sleepping apps"? Shouls we never "Clear now" to clear the ram?

Hopping someone could explain it.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Making an app sleep is not the same thing as keeping/clearing it from ram. You are right though that free ram doesn't generally do you a lot of good, and constantly clearing it will just make your phone work more the next time you load that particular app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kloony11:
A 'Sleeping App' is useful for conserving battery. Apps like Email or Facebook are always awake and connected to the internet checking for new messages, notifications, comments, etc. and this consumes more battery. The downside to putting an app to sleep however, is that it won't show notifications and alert you of new messages, comments, likes, etc. until you manually open the app itself and all notifications will come flooding in at once.

An App kept in RAM simply allows it to be opened and resumed from the last point it was used. This saves a little CPU and Battery but not much difference in our modern and high powered devices.

If you have maximum amount of Apps in RAM, than the phone automatically closes the oldest opened app to make room for the new one. So this option is simply a personal preference without much impact on CPU and Battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] soilentgreen:
Does Device maintenance app close automatic the apps that added to "Always slepping apps" after a while?

If so, the apps need re-open every time. If it dosn't the app need to be close so it "enter" to sleeping mode. In both cases the app will close and it'll need to re-open.

If android knows to manage the apps, why in the first plase need to add apps to sleep?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Yes, but sleep also involves restricting background processes which could otherwise be running and draining battery. That's a different consideration compared to whether an app is stored in ram or not, which is why I said they are not quite the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cgrimm9:
Well I close apps cause some apps draw a lot more power then others. I installed a audio recorder on my pixel o wanted to record audio at a concert. It drained the battery on my phone which had a full charge before I had a chance to use it so less apps the better. I guess it's all the matter what app are runnonf
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] soilentgreen:
Thank you all for the answers :)

What about greenify? What the difference between hibernation mode and sleep mode?

If app greenify it should add to "Unmonitored apps" in Device maintenance?

My Kenzo is not booting

its not a bricked or anything I think because it was good till today

I was facing issues with my battery from last 15 days my charger was not charging my device properly so I used to connect my friend's Moto fast charger(g4 plus) to charge it

After some days whenever I plug the cable it was charging and disconnecting after 20 30 secs then I have to reboot the device to charge it properly

also it was showing wrong % of battery after rebooting but after 2 3 reboots it fixes

I trried everything changed kernel too once

I was on pixel experience Rom(latest build) updated via system updates(OTA) and one thing I had flashed the 16-02-2018 built before that by downloading it from their website but at that time my kernel information was updated but the built number have not changed it changed after that OTA update few days back

Im unable to understand the issue but now I searched on google at this maybe a bootloop but my device was ok till yesterday with few issues I have not done anything before this to happen(yesterday I full charged my device with Moto G4 plus charger then rebooted device and now its not booting)

when i connect charger while phone is switched off it keeps rebooting( this is happening from last 15 days)

today it stopped booting(not actually booting problem it boots but when the boot animation finishes it switch off again)

did factory reset today but no help from it also flashed the OTA downloaded ROM but nothing changed

cleared cache and dalvik cache so may times still its not booting

it is going in fastboot mode and recovery but system is not loading it switch offs after the complition of the boot animation

when connect other charger it keeps rebooting and my MI charger is useless now it does not charge any device

Please help I'm unable to understand the issue

I think moto fast charger damaged my battery

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
I changed the thermal paste in my H910 and OMG it makes a crazy huge difference and you can immediately notice a difference. The LG V20 clearly throttles because of the heat.

Before I changed my thermal paste I did some benchmarks using the Performance I/O. Here are the results:

BEFORE

Antutu: Run 1: 123000 Run 2: 119000.

Geekbench 4 Pro: Run 1: 1656/3918 Run 2: 1657/3997

AFTER changing my thermal paste to Arctic MX-4 here is what I got:

It seems like Geekbench score doesn't change much. I suspect that it doesn't push the device hard enough to make it throttle.

Antutu on the other hand... 152000pts on the first run and 143000pts on the second run! HOLY CRAP!

EDIT: Here are some proof of the difference it makes: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/8ffn4b/lets_collect_facts_on_cpu_throttling_report_in
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] popwar:
Anymore freeze/ lag or slowdown?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
There is still some occasional slowdowns but I think it's because of poorly designed apps like Facebook. Overall it does feel snappier.

It also feels less hot when doing more intensive stuff and multitasking. For the trouble I say it was worth it.

It was pretty easy to do. It's almost like changing thermal paste in a laptop. It took about 20 minutes to do and that was because I was being careful.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Migush:
Wow, tried this yesterday with good results. I still haven't noticed big slowdowns like I did before, and the temperatures don't even get close to the original. Smooth as hell :highfive:. I put thermal paste on a bigger surface than the original stuff was; I completely covered the copper piece and a bit around it with thermal paste.

Edit 2021: The device does run fairly hot after all, slowdowns is less of an issue but still applicable. A bit of an underclock helps a lot, like for example the Lighthouse rom does.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MathewCNichols:
Just picked up a V20 on Swappa. This is the first mod I plan on doing. Quick question though, is that a copper looking thermal pad or an actual copper shim?

If that's a thermal pad, I've always been told not to combine a pad and paste. Use either or, but not both together since it is a thermally conductive bridge. Wouldn't it be better to remove that pad entirely, then apply an actual copper shim with paste on both sides?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XsaucerX:
[/COLOR]

That's an actual copper shim, the thermal compound its the pink thing over(and below touching the plate touching the actual chip) you can just use thermal paste over it and also replace the thermal paste that goes on top of the chip(just as bad as the one outside of the plate) inside the metal plate(it has the name of the soc on top)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MathewCNichols:
How do you get behind the heat spreader plate that's connected to the PCB, to see the 820 die?

I'm betting it's soldered or permanently clipped to the motherboard.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MathewCNichols:
Thanks [MENTION=8047754]XsaucerX[/MENTION]. You've been a great help!

I didn't see anyone mention pulling off the heatspreader of the mobo on XDA or Reddit. This has got to help. Most laptops I've pulled apart had access to apply paste directly on the CPU die.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XsaucerX:
Its not really necessary to put it there, but if you are going to replace the bad quality paste they use on the outside, might as well replace the one from the inside
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
There is no paste on the inside. They use a piece of copper "tape" (not sure what to call it) that covers the soc, and the edge of the shielding covering that section of the MB.

Maybe they do it that way to make the soc better shielded. It is maybe 1mm thick. Don't think it would be wise to remove it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BAFLGV20:
So under the shielding inside the V20 there's a copper shim. Also would some arctic silver 5 work well with this.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dark_prince:
The place where the blob is, actually there is hynix memory module beneath it (ram or ufs I do not know as I do not have v20 board plans). I ended up applying thermal paste all over the metal covering (carefully though so that it didn't seep underneath into uncovered electronics). I am gonna report back the improvement. Mine thermal paste was absent.

Irony: my H910PR turned out to be a VS995 board with F800L's power button connectors. Friggin refurbished spaghetti. I'm glad I have full dump of the working stock rom though. Running lineage 15.1 atm with no issues.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
The hynix ram is a bga package that is soldered directly on top of the SoC (This is partly the reason LG had problems with bootloops previously. They used inappropriate solder which didn't perform well in that application).

I think most of the boards, if not all, have a VS995 designation. It's just how LG internally have managed this particular production line.

Thanks for the tip. I just changed mine yesterday on my H918 and so far its definitely running a bit cooler overall. I don't game all that much and I didn't do any comparison tests before I applied it but I live in a very hot and humid area so every little bit helps. The 3nd screen is the antutu stress test. No clue how to read most of this stuff as I usually don't bother with benchmarks and the like but it was mainly out of curiosity this time and I figured I'd chime in since this thread helped me out ?

After changing the thermal paste on my Acer laptop, I decided to also change the thermal paste on my V20

I've bought a quite crappy thermal paste though(from Cooler Master, it makes my Acer laptop slightly hotter than using stock thermal paste)

HOWEVER, the thermal paste used on the V20 seems even worse that after replacing the thermal paste, my V20 is slightly more responsive(the benchmark doesn't change though)

The biggest surprise comes from battery life, my V20 can last at least 1-2 hours longer than my normal usage(not 1-2 hours more SOC though)

It's quite creepy to disassemble a smartphone as a newbie though, but the outcome definitely worth it.

Yeah I used to much the 1st time as well and just had a bad feeling so I opened it back up and it was all over the place around the copper pad thing. I used Artic Silver 5 and it was runny but very sticky at the same time so I got ended up making a mess getting it in places it shouldn't have been.

I was a lot more careful the 2nd time and the phone is definitely better meow. 1st time I did it was fine at first but after a couple days it was getting extremely hot especially on the screen so I figured I screwed up lol

After watching some of the videos on how to breakdown our phone, many mention being extra careful not to break this or that, or not to damage this or that. That scares me. Is it really that scary and that delicate? Or are the videos erring on the side of caution? Have any of you had any issues replacing the thermal paste?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
It's super easy. Small stuff is delicate so you just have to be careful. I've had mine open 3 times so far and the only thing you might have to worry about are some of the thin plastic tabs that hold the screws. One broke on the top piece that pops out but there are enough screws that it doesn't affect anything though

can you make a youtube video ? i need lg v20 tutorial about putting thermal paste on it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] henrylar:
If you follow the videos of how to tear down the phone, you cannot miss the copper foil. I have not done it before, it took me a little more than half an hour. Take care of noticing where the screws belong, there are two different sizes.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] therealrayzzor:
Real quick question. Does it have to be Arctic brand paste? I don't know much about this type of stuff, but I see that Best Buy has this Insignia thermal compound and if that's good enough I can get that today instead of waiting for another brand of paste to ship over the weekend. Changing the kcal settings have worked so far but I've noticed today that the screen retention on my V20 has started to show again regardless of the settings and I'm kinda impatient with this so I rather change it sooner than later. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] henrylar:
I would just try what you have - if it is a decent paste. It is not difficult to do it one more time if you are dissatisfied with the result.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansiv:
So this method apparently fixes the throttling and heating issue and also the screen retention issue?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
it doesn't help with screen retention only a custom kernel and color calibration can help their.

it also depends on the device... if your phone is throttling bad it's worth doing
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike The Menace:
Greetings,

I'm wondering if my issue could be related to needing to change the stock thermal paste. I replaced the screen in my LG V20 yesterday and was able to boot the phone up back to how it was before the screen went out. I was able to power off and on the phone and/or restart it and it booted back up eventually after soft-bootlooping a few times (LG Logo appeared, "Device Software Cannot Be Checked for Corruption", splash screen and then a reboot). Everything seemed to work from the swap except for the phones built in receiver speaker which I was able to reseat properly in the correct spot and power the phone back up and test it and every other setting to make sure everything was functional. I powered the phone down to let it fully charge and every since I've been stuck in a bootloop (LG Screen, "Device Software Cannot Be Checked for Corruption", Splash Screen, restart and repeat). I can boot into recovery fine and wipe cache/dalvik and perform any other options, however I did need to retrieve some settings/info from my old rom which is why I haven't just tried flashing a new rom. I'm wondering if the paste or something else on the motherboard may be causing this bootloop? Thank you for any suggestions and/or tips.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vemoxy:
Replaced the thermal paste with Arctic MX-4 yesterday. Phone's working like a charm now, no slowdowns so far. Highly recommend everyone to try it out.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BAFLGV20:
(https://xdaforums.com/v20/themes/mod-fix-cpu-throttling-charging-gaming-t3650705)

LG phones have been long notorious for having thermal throtting issues and though changing the thermal paste will help, it will only help to an extent. To get sustainable performance without a clock frequency drop, I've found that changing the temp threshold and temp/MHz within the thermalengine8996conf file changes this phone performance profile to amazing. You can play long game sessions or charge the phone with no lag or any slowdown. For 1 little file to cause such a great phone to be so laggy is a shame. But thankfully this can all be fixed and let the SD820 and Adreno 530 shine. the link to the file above explains all you need to know. Of course ROOT is required.
