[MOD] Without ROOT get rid of LAG on G3!!!

[shook187]

Thanks I tried 3845#*985# and I get ( welcome to verizon wireless, your call cannot be completed as dialed) lol

My model number is VS98510B

You shouldn't have to hit send as soon as you hit the # It should send you to that hidden menus. Maybe the MOD don't work on Verizon phones.

Oh I see, that's sucks lol
Thanks anyway!

Here are dialer codes for sprint replace 990 where the g2 code is etc

This gets me in to a hidden menu, but it only displays a few different tests that can be run. Any idea what code gets you to the temperature option we're looking for?

Verizon has a habit of disabling dialer codes. Wouldn't be the first time they have done it.

Does turning this option on basicly mean that the phone will get less hot during more demanding CPU operations?

 

[Showtek1980]

I'm in Korea so I substituted the last three digits with my model number (400).. For those not getting the menu.. use the stock dialer and try again. Thank you for this MOD.. I'll test and give feedback after a few hours..

Be careful

You all need to realize this does turn thermal throttling OFF. It is not off by default, switching it to "On" disables throttling. That's what the option does, it turns on not throttling. Make sense? Here's what I did to test.


Download CPU-Z from the play store and Antutu. With the switch set to "off: by default, run Antutu. While that's stress testing your CPU, open CPU-Z and check the current CPU frequency. 1.5-1.7ghz, maybe 2.0. However, turn the switch to the "On" position and do the same thing, you'll notice the CPU runs at its full 2.46 Ghz during the test.

One thing that doesn't make sense to me though, is while the phone throttles the CPU to 1.5Ghz, the temps are actually higher than they were at 2.46, but that may have been a coincidence. Thermal throttling on, (default) had the temps around 38 degrees Celsius, while thermal throttling off (set to the On position) reported 36 degrees. The phone felt hotter too while it was throttling. It's possible that while it throttles, the battery heats up while it's using more hardware resources, but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Their thermal throttling system seems poorly optimized, which is why I am going to turn it off and hope my phone doesn't burst into flames.

That being said, I did notice a little performance increase when opening apps and multitasking. It's there, not a placebo (well not completely), I tested it multiple times. But be cautious about what you are doing to your phone. I know the G2 guys have had good luck with this for a while now, but we are running a slightly different SoC than they are.

The default behaviour for this option is it will slow the CPU down when the phone gets hot in order to keep it cooler, by turning this off the phone will not do that, i.e. it will not do much to keep itself cool which means if you keep using it and it gets to the point where the phone thinks its too hot (doesn't seem to be a specific temperature, just depends on CPU load) the phone will shut itself off stating it is too hot.

My advice would be do not turn this option off, especially if you already think your device gets warm!

Don't know if I'm imagining things, but it feels like my battery has been draining a bit quicker ever since this mod. I'll have to test it a bit more intensively as I've only given it a few hours, but it sure feels that way.

I'll report back in a day or two.

Battery would drain quicker - this "mod" (I hate calling it a mod, its not a mod, its just a setting albeit a hidden one!) as the CPU will be staying at a higher clock rate, meaning the phone gets hotter

High CPU clocking and high temperatures are two things that will cause battery drain.

That's what I was trying to say (might have over complicated it a bit). But yes, the phone will shut off anyway at some point, but can obviously do some damage to the internals.

You guys are over reacting, this MOD has been around for a while on the G2 without any phones blowing up.

I'm saying it's entirely possible to damage something, not that it will happen. Remember, the G3 has a much larger screen at a higher resolution. The CPU can only handle so much before it overheats.. That being said, it most likely won't happen unless you literally have your screen on for hours on end with max brightness and some benchmark running in the background.

Think about a desktop computer. If you turn off thermal throttling, at some point you're going to fry the CPU or the power supply. Phones don't have fans or water to cool them down, so there's no telling if your battery will suddenly decide to overheat from too much CPU load.

Hotter batteries also die quicker dudes

Very nice hidden menus. I have a quick question. Are there particular settings in the menu for wireless charging? Thanks.

Why do you need anything for wireless charging? What do you need it for? Do not change ANY settings unless you don't know what are you doing!!!

He likely has an AT&T version which has Qi charging disabled. It supports powermet, not Qi. People have been looking for a way to enable Qi charging on the AT&T version.

You're not going to find it without some kind of an adapter. The hardware to support it was completely removed. The current support and wiring is different between Qi and powermatt.

Gonna keepnd ye on others results with this. The only thing I hate is giving up battery performance.

 

[ajftl]

Just disable all the graphic crap on developer option like I did and got rid of lag

Its very annoying to have lag when u know this thing have all the power in the world but then lg is like Samsung. Full of crap

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Yep and this thing is getting hotter with that "mod" on. Turning it back to off. See no different anyway. I already had no lag

Yep, that's what happens when thermal throttling is disabled. It can damage your hardware.
