[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] goattee:
Get that screen protector replaced in an authorized repair center whether or not you have an active warranty.

Don't do any of the following:

don't attempt to replace it yourself no matter how simple it might seem to you

(The repair centers have a rig to assist them in doing this. And if you screw up, you could end up with a more serious problem.)

don't ignore it because it seems trivial or small

don't wait for the problem to "ripen" before acting

if your warranty has expired: don't decide that this doesn't warrant action

Why?

Over the past week or so, the protector started slowly separating down the crease area of the screen. So I brought it in to a local Samsung-authorized UbreakitIFixit by Asurion. The technician said he's seen a flow of these cases. I went a step further and said that I'm hearing that there are a number of people reporting cracked screens. He nodded and said that-- once the protector starts separating like mine was doing-- this starts to create a degree of pressure on the folding area of the screen. Basically he was telling me that what seems like a trivial cosmetic problem could turn into something far more serious. And expensive.

In my case, I bought my Z Fold 3 shortly before it was replaced by the Z Fold 4-- and I am still covered by the warranty. If you are in the same position, Samsung has what I would call a "silent recall" where they will cover a one-time screen protector replacement. Go to the Samsung service area on their website and avail yourself of this!

And if you are past the warranty, I'd urge you to take the precaution and pay to have the protector replaced-- you sure don't want to face a complete screen replacement-- you might not even consider the cost justifiable.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Apparently this is true; if cracked it will eventually take out the display. I was reading a review and that Australian reviewer didn't have kind things to say about this. He gives the protector a 4-6 month lifespan, if you make a year you're lucky.

He further said this has been a persistent issue; don't expect the next generation to be more durable.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] xnappo:
Hmm, I have to replace my wife's every 4 months or so using the Orzero. It is a bit of a learning exercise, but not that hard(key it to do long side first and get the fold crease right at the start). YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] goattee:
Thanks for letting us know that you feel confident doing this yourself. I also see a YouTube demonstration video from the company. I'm not sure that I'd do a neat job but it's good to know that it's possible.

You also opened my eyes to the frequency of replacement that made sense to both of you,
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
The Whitestone protector comes with a rig so that you place it perfectly right. Only thing you need to worry about is dust getting under it as you're putting it on (some people do it in the bathroom after steaming it up with a hot shower).

My OEM protector lasted over a year. It did separate along the crease at the top and it kept getting longer and longer, so I finally replaced it after months of the separated area. The replacement brought back the anti-fingerprint feature which had worn off the original one, so I was happy about that for sure. Doing it once now, I'll probably replace it next once that anti-fingerprint feature has worn off again since it wasn't as bad/hard as I thought it would be. No need to be intimidated by it after all!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] goattee:
I have learned so much on xda-developers.com over the years. The two previous posts are really helpful. I found the Whitestone installation YouTube video and now I see how the jig works. I hope I won't have to replace the screen protector but now I realize a couple things:

It's wise to replace the inner screen protector once separation starts appearing

It's entirely possible to do the job myself if / when the warranty no longer applies.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] fenibook:
The Tensor G2 processor on the pixel 7 series has poor energy efficiency, which will cause the phone to heat up easily.

Therefore, I decided to limit the CPU clock frequency of the Tensor G2. By adjusting the overheating threshold, the CPU clock frequency limit can be achieved. Keep your Pixel 7 Pro super cool, not hot at all, and with longer battery life.

I made a Magisk module for your input, if you are also troubled by the heat of Pixel 7 Pro, then you can try this module.

Here is the download link.

Cool Down Your Pixel.zip

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dovahpig:
My Pixel 7 Pro is already cool. Never ever even mildly warm. But i dont play games
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
With the case on, when charging it reaches 40 degrees. But otherwise it's... Ok I guess?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] fenibook:
Summer is coming and he's going to be hot, using a Pixel in China.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sasaiber:
Thank you!!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xdagee:
Great, I had to test this. I have the Battery Guru, and I have set the temperature to 30 but it always prompts, even when I am using it for minimal work. Can you share some performance benchmarks, either with Battery Guru or Better Battery Stats? and the source on github?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] djisma86:
Great i want to test
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
Not trying to be negative as I like this idea!

'The Tensor G2 processor on the pixel 7 series has poor energy efficiency'

Do you have data to proof that or are you guessing?

'which will cause the phone to heat up easily'

I have not really noticed that. in fact my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra gets much warmer than the p7p.

Curious what the actual performance gain and heat reduction will be (in numbers).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Data to prove that the efficiency of G2 is poor? Sure, sir.

This shows Tensor G1, and Tensor G2 introduced an additional X1 core (2x X1 cores) and didn't improve the efficiency much apart from being slightly more efficient since it's based on 4nm.

So, long story short, G2 is somewhere between Exynos 2100 and 888 when it comes to efficiency and neither of these two mentioned is really efficient.

Pixel 4's SD855 is more efficient than both Pixel 6 and 7. lol

There is plenty of power measurement data and how the SOC behaves under load, feel free to research.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] iplux:
mind posting the correction of values? at what temp it starts to throttle? is something else tweaked as well? im too lazy to look at the code myself lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Whose using this? What are you seeing in terms of battery life gain and is the phone stuttering and stalling during usage?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Installed it several days ago. Noticed that charging fell to a crawl, to the point I thought my charger or cable was bad. Uninstalled immediately.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] innit:
No lag, stuttering or freezing. No issues with charging. Temperature stays lower than normally, for example while using chrome or other browser temperature used to spike up to 60-65° within few minutes but now it's down to 50-55°. I didn't notice any change in battery life.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMystic:
How did you measure?

I'm also curious to know what performance gains or battery efficiencies Pixel phones have with their 'clean' software.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Chrisnik:
5 second delay in the camera app when changing from photo to video or changing from back camera to front...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
@fenibook , can you add any conditions to the module so it's inactive when the phone is charging either reorh cable or wirelessly?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
For me camera works fine. Also, installed again on QPR3 and charging seems ok.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Chrisnik:
Yes my bad.. It was the one plus hide navigation bar module I used.. It was the only one that worked fine with android 13.. Does anyone know a proper one to hide that pill bar?!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
AOSPmods, works fine for that. Some of the stuff is incompatible with 13 QPR3, but hiding the pill works fine.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Chrisnik:
The brightness bar from quick panel works OK or gets stuck when you slide it?!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sasaiber:
This module helped me. Previously, when the battery temperature was 36⁰С - now 29-33(on LTE) No stuttering, everything works great! Thank you for your work
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Works, but the slider does get stuck.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Chrisnik:
I found a flaw - - > Camera flash says can't use because phone is too hot... Obviously because the thermal peak is set lower..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] iplux:
To the people saying that they don't experience any stuttering - are you guys living in negative temperatures or you're using your phones on 0% brightness with 60hz? The module starts to thermal throttle the phone after around 35C and severely after 40. Please mention that you're not heavy users, because the phone definitely stutters if you torture it a bit. Also yes, charging gets significantly slower, especially if the phone is warm as well. Drops to 1-5W.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Ah maybe that was the case about charging when I first tried it, I was in the car and the sun was falling on the phone. Maybe now it seems ok because I'm at home and it's cooler...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
@fenibook Is it possible to add a condition to this module that disables it when charging? Then when pulled off the charger it kicks back in? Can you make it so the module checks for that?

Has anyone who has tried this module and then removed it noticed any adverse effects hanging around after uninstalling? I'd love to try this module, but with some of the issues being reported I'm hesitant. I have installed modules in the past like Pixelfy that have NOT fully uninstalled. They have messed my phone up and almost necessitated a full wipe. I'm cautious about testing random modules with the assumption that I can just uninstall them because that has NOT always been my experience.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
The only side-effect I had was the charging speed; once I uninstalled, it was gone.

That said, I think in most cases reflashing instead of wiping will solve your issues...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] iplux:
It temporarily replaces system/vendor/etc/thermal_info_config_proto.json and thermal_info_config.json

Why would there be any side effects, literally the only modified thing is the degree at which it starts to throttle. You can edit the file yourself, backup the original onse and replace em manually yourself without even needing the module at all.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
...and it does this upon startup, it's not a permanent change, so if you just disable it you'll be fine...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Chrisnik:
When we delete this ore the other thermal mod does everything return to stock or needs further settings!? I have deleted every thermal related module but I think my mobile heats up very fast.. It is constantly around 32-33 c and outside temperature is 13-14c
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tbv2005:
32 to 33 degrees? And you really worry? Let's build some chips which get under normal/ heavy load cooler then hoater... Would be an innovation 😂😂😂, i really would invest in.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] johnnywhojr:
Thanks for this. I installed this through my day. After hammering on it all day, my 7Pro has stayed cool and no issues. Very pleased in the first few hours. Thanks so far!

Edit: Deleted already. Found my phone was heating more than cooling down. Thanks but no thanks.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Newtonsart:
Man, I'm using the module and the minimum in my city is 20ºC. The only gaming I do is some chess. I use the camera a lot. But I haven't had any issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Juuuuune:
Turn dark mode on and off once
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Chrisnik:
So the DEVICE IS TOO HOT. FLASH HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. At camera at just 34c isn't a problem....?!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Barsky:
made my screen too dim to use.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NippleSauce:
Hey there.

Would you be able to make a few different versions of this mod that change the overheating threshold (some more strict, some less strict)?

I used this for a little while, however, I recall running into a few issues with it (can't recall the specifics due to it being a few weeks ago). But, I feel that adjusting those values slightly in both directions might resolve said issues.

Would you be able to do this?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dodgebizkit:
Interesting.. do I need to be rooted?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
Can this module be modded to remove the slow charging?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 420fidget69:
Hey fenibook, just stumbled upon this mod. Thanks for making it! `thermal_info_config*.json` changed a lot in Android 14 though. Would you mind telling me/us which values you changed in the original mod? Just want to port the values over Android 14 and to make it more obvious / less risky to install there. Thanks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Just use a compare text editor and see what values were edited.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 420fidget69:
Do you have the Android 13 version of the `thermal_info_config*.json` files / can help with diffing? The fact that I could only diff against the version I have on hand (Android 14) was the precise reason I asked for the source.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ystokar:
Would this work on a p7pro running latest Android 15 beta? I suffer from terrible overheating
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Antonioml06:
Does anyone know why if I changed the system with odin from SM-A536U1 to SM-A536U and I didn't get any security or software updates I put android 13 on it, it had android 12 and it stayed on the last android update since November 2022, and I try to update it with odin but I get an error, it stays in fail device info or it does not load anything

Hi all new here glad to be a member

anyway i just unlocked the bootloader and rooted with magisk through BOOT.img patching.... my Question is, are there any custom roms or anything out yet for this phone? Android 12 .thank you so much
[General Questions and Answers] sam9566:
Thats amazing. From my own research i understand this phone is so new that people have yet the get their hands on it to work on it also the fact that it uses a mediatek instead of a snapdragon is a sticking point for a lot of developers even though its basically the same phone as the g power 22 and g play 21
[General Questions and Answers] samtron6:
Hi sam9566

Yeah I broke my other phone cheap 🤣. So I looked for an unlocked carrier phone close to me and Walmart had like 7 maybe. But they were in lockup couldn't find it. So I asked the guy in the back he looked around and took his key out and went into this metal cage that you couldn't see into and pulled one out and sold it to me really quickly 😂. Then I had to wait 9 days for the OEM UNLOCK to be UN-greyed in dev options. But in those 9 days I waited for an email from moto for my unlock code but never showed. So I got on live site chat and within 2 minutes the person gave me the 20 digit code . And after 9 days I unlocked the bootloader, then I used the Lenovo software to get the factory Rom extracted the boot.img used magisk to patch then flashed.. lol been debloating the crap out this phone.. it uses 51% storage after setup is completed
[General Questions and Answers] sam9566:
nice lets try to actually keep this thread alive so maybe we can get a lineage rom for this phone eventually???
[General Questions and Answers] samtron6:
well got rid of all the preinstalled apps and moto junk lol got down to 39% storage used. now what lol im bored
[General Questions and Answers] sam9566:
Yeah im still completely lost on how you did this could you possibly post a step by step guide???
[General Questions and Answers] samtron6:
lol ill try

1: download https://www.motorola.com/us/rescue-and-smart-assistant/p MOTOROLA SITE please be patient the program is slow just a warning if anyone thinks its hung..

2: Download magisk from GITHUB on your phone and install it.

3: download ADB_Fastboot

4: open rescue and smart assistant program and do the steps it says to do, then once it finds the ROM it MIGHT say already have latest... Say download anyway..

5: now once its done downloading dont do anything else. go to the download location and open the file and copy the BOOT.IMG to desktop or where ever you want it..

6: Now copy the BOOT.IMG to your phone's internal storage Download folder.

7:Run magisk and click top install then select and patch a file. locate the boot.img on your phone and patch it.

8: once done copy the patched file back to the PC i put it in ADB FASTBOOT folder. rename it too BOOT.IMG open CMD with admin rights or it wont work.

9: type (adb reboot-bootloader), should reboot into bootloader. now do this command (fastboot devices) make sure it see's the device.. then type ( fastboot flash boot boot.img ) -BOOT.IMG is what ever name you make it but for simple measures i did boot.img. let it finish reboot device with ( fastboot reboot ).. now open magisk and let it finish what its got to do...

10: ENJOY hope this helps someone out.. i never wrote a guide before as you can tell hahaha.. let me know if there is any QUESTIONS

I have done some searching around for a kernel release from Motorola but it doesn't look like we are there yet. At the moment I am rooted and cleaning things up.

Do we have a master list of which apps are allowed to be uninstalled? I have accidentally soft-bricked my device once already. At the moment I have uninstalled:

NOTE: I bricked my launcher after removing too many apps. This list was before I noticed the brick but perhaps one of them contributed to the issue.
