What you see it's just a metal shield hold together with some clips, use your finger nail or the tip a knife to gently lift it up, it's reversible. It was probably intended to protect against electromagnetic interference but I'm pretty sure it's a preventive measure with no real benefits of having it on, the other three covers are still used and I believe no radio chips are on the section I removed.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] corvettezo7sp:
Got it! Used a artic thermal pad. When playing games I get a blue spot on the screen where the processor is it gets so hot so I know it working. Max temp is 58 degrees Celsius. Must have put something together incorrectly because my touch screen jitters a bit swiping like not all the digitizer sensors are seeing my figure. I do, thanks for the post. These phones are so cheap though. If I need another ill just buy one for 60$.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaggyjags:
Thanks, I used sand paper to make it the right thickness, if the metal plate is too thick you will see a purplish shadow on that area, it's just caused by too much pressure under the screen, try it several times without thermal paste until you see no shadow. The 0.6mm I said was my guess comparing it with some coins and their widths, it may be 0.5mm, don't have the right measurement equipment. Don't worry, the blue spot will go away completely.

It makes sense for the shadow to be worse with heat because metal expands slightly with it. The motherboard should lie nearly flat over the screen frame after you put all the screws.

I'm not sure about the touch screen responsiveness, had no issues on my test even with slightly thick metal plate, could go away without the screen stress under it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] corvettezo7sp:
Its actually perfectly responsive, just not smooth. May be an app I installed so I will try resetting first. Not sure how I would file down a thermal pad. Its like a gritty rubber. Here's the link to what I got: ARCTIC - Thermal Pad 50 x 50 x 1.0 mm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UYTTDO6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wvJBBbP1943TM Its super efficient. Maybe I could take it apaart again and press on the voard to flatten it a bit more.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaggyjags:
Oh, I misunderstood, probably 1mm thermal pad makes too much pressure on the screen when trying to flatten it to half of its thickness.

I found very cheap metal plates on ebay and aliexpress which is always better in terms of thermal conductivity compared to thermal pads. Or maybe thinner pads are also available.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] corvettezo7sp:
Reset and screen is smooth again. No idea what happened but something changed while it was apart. I will order one of those. I really appreciate it. Whats your max temp with your metal material?? Not sure if 58c is high but before my entire phone would get hot. Now its just the front display. I really appreciate your thread and insight.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaStErB_1984:
really interesting...I would choose the pad with 0,5 mm...think this would do the trick...just bought two G5s with an broken display and ordered a display. :) you get photos if everything is prepared.

perhaps this pad is more efficient:

https://www.amazon.de/Alphacool-Eis...1533978184&sr=1-9&keywords=thermal+pad+1&th=1 :cool:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] corvettezo7sp:
Definitely. Its 14w/mk. Much better than I got. Although I do beleive our cpus only need 1.5w/nk to be sufficient. Maybe ill get some of that and experiment with all the different materials. Ill post pictures myself if I dissasemble again. Since the reset though everyrhing has been smooth and cool. I'm in that dont touch but play harder mode. PUBG is flawless now and I havent lost a game since the mod. ? perfectly smooth through every game!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmaker:
Very interesting!

You must use thermally conductive pads? It is not enough to use a thermo-conductive paste only, like in pc cpu?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] corvettezo7sp:
Correct. The gap is too wide to use paste only. The thermal paste has a conductivity rating of 6 w/mk but only when its super thin. Like 1 1000ths of an inch thick. The thermal pads have the same heat conductivity even when they are thicker and are allot cleaner for the small space they are.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmaker:
You are amazing, Thank you for the explanation, I did not know that!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] corvettezo7sp:
Here's some more pictures to make it easier or if you have done it already for someone who hasn't done it. I have a G5 that broke. Miss it, it was my first one. Definitely better than my current one. The previous owners water damage finally did it in. Anyway, here's a picture of the main board with screws and cameras removed in the display frame, a picture of the motherboard folded over from the left of the display frame, and a picture of the CPU up close. I have removed all shields so you will need to pull those off if you haven't already. I recommend plastic. Also these pictures will help you see where it lines up on the frame. Also while your in there you should do the GPS fix. Re assembly will either fix it or make it worse if it was previously working. Also the last picture is of the small connector that lines up to the rear of the frame. If you screw this up you may have signal issues. Line up the top of the display first before assembly. Don't slide the display up. Anyway, I'm going to also try thermal pads on the rear of the CPU next to see if the power supply resistors could use cooling as well.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SparkyKitty:
Luckily I found this on time because the temp was around 85 C and it was leaving alot of image retention, after finding out this mod, I took a penny and filed it down thin enough not too thin but not too thick and then I put thermal paste on the CPU and have the penny in the same area as the CPU, it is a very tight fit and the screen is slightly warped upwards, but no problems and it has been much cooler, dropped it by 50 - 60 C. I give you lots of kudos for this :3
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sibero80:
Hello everyone, just a follow question up to some of the comments.

Does the 0.5mm thermal pad fit? or is it better to use the copper sheets?

Thank you!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaggyjags:
I had 0.6mm fit with a slight pressure, 0.5mm could be enough to touch both sides but, as always, the better conductor you use the better. Pads are always worse at conducting heat than paste + metal.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aptalherif1:
did this with two layered aliminium folio.

xigmatek freezing point g4718 between aliminum folios , lcd metal and back frame. Made a heat pipe to the backside with folio so heat is going to aliminuum frame too. putted ram heatsinks outside.

and in front of me there is a usb fan. now im playing pubg like iphone x LOL my friend is laughing at my setup LOL

It's Amazingly Impressive

guys i suggest you to do this MOD ... i had 110,000 rating on antutu benchmark with my H860 and now after doing this I've got 152,771 score and trust me bumping the score by 40,000+ not only sounds amazing but it's really is amazing :D my phone is now smoother and temps never go above 60°C ... I've done it by slamming a thick AF Pure 6 mm diameter Copper Wire by hammer and made it 0.6 mm thin ... put some thermal paste on the Chip and Heat Sink and removed the ****ty plate above the chips ... now i'm enjoying my cold and Super Fluid G5 until Oreo arrives for H860 ... Many Thanks To jaggyjags ofc ;) :good:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aptalherif1:
Found thicker folio and replaced,

this is v2 and im planning to do v3 with copper and a copper plate
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] erkan.alper:
Isn't it affect battery heat ? and folio thickness ? (dostum batarya ısınmıyor mu? ve kaç mm o folyo?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aptalherif1:
no its normal

i dont know folio is far thicker than food folio

(tuhafiyeden aldım folyoyu)

btw this phones frame has a plastic layer on aluminium frame. for full performance i need to scrape the plastic but im not doing it now

Hello , I really want to try modding my LG G5 with this HW Thermal mod, just want to ask you guys if I can use the bottom of PEPSI as a thermal conductor? it is thin enough and can be bent easily. Hope you guys know if this will work.

Quick question.. What app is accurate for cpu temp.. I've seen different results from various apps

Also what app to run.. If any.. That will tell me if my cpu runs to hot
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aptalherif1:
why ? its hard to shape just find more suitable stuff. you guys are living in better places just buy more suitable stuff from ebay.

Make same with thick copper folio, + a better thermal paste

+ scrape outer back layer of phone and put rasperry pi copper blocks on it. cool it a litle bit with a slow fan and thats it you can play pubg fullhd 60fps !!!

fk the warannty, its allready old and it wil be very old there will not be a point to mod it. you are using a shtty as slow as hell phone you cant play any game with it look at this throttle score :

https://youtu.be/XMxn6Q8DT-g?t=408

just get your snapdragon 820 back.

i voided my waranty , whats the point of using a phone with half of its sppeed ? your opening pubg and your phone turns into a lg g2 in minutes ? whats the point of having snapdragon 820 ?????

it doesnt matter, its all about throttle or not.

for example your cpu can be cooler than mine but because of mine has more heatsink mass and place to hold heat im not gonna throttle you gonna throttle its about accumulation.

add as many mass as possible .

use throttle test and pubg

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MCL95:
Hey all. I just randomly came upon this thread, searching for custom roms for my G5... Out of curiosity i tried antutu myself... no custom rom, no mods... just stock nougat and root... and i got 162000 xD ( i remember when i first bought my phone i had 130000... strange)... I generally have never seen serious throttling and overheating... Am I the only lucky here ? :D
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aptalherif1:
this doesnt mean anything just a clean system and cold weather can give better FIRST score. After you throttle your phone will turn into a galaxy j5 in pubg LOL
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MCL95:
Lol relax. It's not THAT bad. with cellurar mode on and bluetooth mode on, and with stock rom. Definetely got worse results than the poster, but it's not "like a galaxy j5" lol XD

I will try to mod the **** out of it tho, install some custom kernel etc to see if i can hit a world record on this phone lol. If you leave the poor battery performance out of the game, this phone is still a fcking beast
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MCL95:
I also noticed some interesting things. For example, my 100% is already much lower than your 100%... That means that maybe custom rom plays a huge role to maximum performance... and also even if my temps are much higher, i had changed the 1st sensor to "sensor 4" because sensor0 is for battery, that's why you only got 40C
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MCL95:
Changed some things on the kernel with L speed. Now performance is even better. Can't wait to put on the cooling mod and install a custom kernel to overclock the device
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aptalherif1:

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eye_of_Osiris:
Removing the coating from all around the G5 has the same effect.

I should mention ath this point that G5s coating is triple (paint + a thin layer of plastic + a thin layer of ceramic matterial). I don't know why they coated it this way. Probably to protect it from hot environments, but this coating prevents the heat from inside to come out, so what I did was fully uncoating it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SMitkov:
I have made this mod yesterday and the funny thing is that at the test it give's around 2000 points more than before, but when i play one game Torque Drift the temperature is much better than before. Before the temperature was 66+ degrees °C and had go to 72 °C... Now with this mod it stay on 55-6 °C, sometimes it goes to 66 °C for 1-2 seconds and goes down to 55°C again... And i think that the phone is going smoother than before and the battery life is much better... I had just 1 question after i remove the hood of the chipset and put the copper plate I couldnt put the little metal hood again over the chipset and i leave it without it.. because of the copper plate thickness..is this a problem?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] deathhilarious:
The "metal hood" is the RF shielding. Yes you need to remove it completely for this mod. The copper plate needs to touch the chip on one side and the metal frame of the screen on the other side.

Just keep the RF shield safe somewhere in case you ever want to put it back on. Don't worry it's safe to remove the RF shielding.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SMitkov:
Thank you, very much! I was thinking that it should be like u say... And i think that the metal frame should tuch the copper plate, because I buy 0.5mm thickness plate.. Anyway, the score is still not much more than expected, but do a great job at all!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rock2rap:
I've after moded by "Copperplate" (0.7mm) The score on 3DMark is very poor (Sling Shot Extreme OpenGL [MENTION=4924232]167[/MENTION]2). But. moded by "Thermal Pad" 1mm. The Score [MENTION=6699883]262[/MENTION]5, what??,

i have 1 question. Battery Temperature has Affect about CPU Throttling?

Hello all,

I have this phone but i can not play pubg. I do not have root, all stock. I would like to root and make some changes but i think this mod should be enough! I do not care too much about having very great perfomances but for now he is truly unplayable and i keep every settings to a minimum. Very laggy.

I would therefore like to know what is the best solution. Which materials is exactly more efficient?

I am not very pratical. I would need a video to understand well and not damage anything. I read the thread several times, but i understand english badly

Thanks, i appreciate it

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Ollie2:
My Nokia 7 Plus connects to my Netgear D7000 router on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.

When the phone is near to the router it will max the connection speed out using speedtest at about 75mbps (max internet speed for me) however as the distance from the router increases the speeds drop off dramatically to either 1 or 2 mbps or they drop completely and it keeps trying to jump between networks presumably because the signal is low.

The drop in speeds seems to affect the download speed more than the upload speed.

I have an old Galaxy S5 and in the same positions it holds the connection easily and will still max the connection. I can go much, much further from the router before the connection drops.

If I use wifi analyser then I see that on the S5 the signal looks to be about 10db better, it simply looks like a case of the S5 having better reception.

How do others find the performance compared to other phones, is the wifi poor or do I have a duff one?

I'm currently using Oreo 8.1 with the July security update., has anyone noticed wifi being better using Android P?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] I_m_animesh:
Android p is far better
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Ollie2:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm just reading through the thread on Android P at the moment and will probably give it a try providing I can make sure I can roll back to Oreo easily so the device can be returned if it is actually faulty.

Trying to make backup using TWRP (twrp-3.2.2-1-a3y17lte.img)

TWRP can't mount /data partition.

All the advices/solutions on the problem I've found were: just wipe/format the /data, or change its filesystem types back-and-forth, which will also wipe it, this however contradicts the purpose of why I am trying to use TWRP in the first place.

This is the least expensive option for your model. It appears to include the midframe as well, which will make things a lot easier for you. All less expensive offers on ebay consist of either a screen protector or the front glass by itself.

[Android Apps and Games] cumulonimbus_ca:
Hi everyone.

I'm announcing a brand new, modern weather app called All Clear (play store link). I looked at the top ten free weather apps in the US and was dismayed at how awful (and identical!) they all are. All Clear is my attempt at making the best weather app in the store.

Major things that are different compared to other weather apps:

Focus on clear communication of weather data: I've used large graphics with animations so you can easily see the weather quickly. No clutter or BS.

I'm upset that most weather apps that show the current weather conditions get even that wrong, so a major component of this app is self-correcting the outdoor conditions by weighing user weather reports and showing the most up-to-date and local weather conditions.

I want to advance how useful phones are for measuring the atmosphere. This app includes cutting edge research that you can participate it, such as sending in live weather pictures for analysis and tagging, as well as automatically contributing device environmental sensor data for similar purposes.

We'll eventually use machine learning / classification algorithms to start automatically tagging weather in pictures. That's the big idea here really. I'd like to make a system that can take any outdoor photo and assign weather information to it, so the app starts with a manual tagging system. Will be expanded in the future.

We plan to make virtual weather stations with anonymized pressure, temperature, light, humidity and magnetic sensors inside Android phones

The Sensor stuff in this app is open source! Here is the GitHub repo. It may be possible to open source the rest of the app in the future.

'Watch this Hour' is a new feature that lets you track how the forecast has changed since you started 'watching' it.

It also has all the other features you'd expect from a decent weather app: widgets for the upcoming hours, multiple optional notifications to stay informed throughout the day, including Severe Alerts

Some notes:

The app is US-only right now and I hate that. For the first 2 months of building this app I was specially making it to be global, international weather data. I was prepared to spend $400 USD/month and buy weather data from IBM/Weather Channel, and I wrote the whole app just for that purpose. Then, without notice, they cut off the data plans, turned off the payment form at Weather Underground, and refused to take any money for weather data. They make you wait weeks for a phone call and then you figure out that the price is something like $3,000 / month to match the same basic features.

So for those reasons, this app is US-only right now, using free data available from NOAA/NWS. I will be making it available internationally in the future, once I find and integrate a reasonable data source for international weather data. I am likely to use OpenWeatherMap but we'll see.

Here's the play store link again: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allclearweather.android

What do you think? Thanks!!
