Exactly that seems to be the case. If games start to lag just power it up again

Is it possible that this app is causing BSOD's?

I had a problem with random reboots or just a black screen with the only solution long press power buttom or battery pull. So I restored factory settings and installed a few basic apps (no special boot services I think) and also this tweak. Now the black screens are back. Very weird, because I'm not doing anything "out-of-the-box".

PS: don't mind my sig, that's my old phone (which I still have to use way too much as backup phone...)

I would say things like this can very well be possible although I didn't have any bsods at all with this phone (using the latest 10d software...)
btw I'm gonna add a better icon as soon as possible...

I have had exactly same problem, it also caused some random reboots for me, so I deactivated the Eco-function and uninstalled it afterwards.

The random reboots are gone now. So this app might work on some phones and not on others, that's maybe why LG hasn't published it yet.

I had BSODs right after boot, that was frightening. Mostly I could just see the unlock after boot before going black. One time I was lucky and was able to reach settings and select factory reset...

i do not have any issues using this unsupported feature, but i also don't have any impact on battery usage ....
i think that lg hasn't implented it yet cause of instability and bugs ....

You can always perform a factory reset from the recovery in case you cannot boot anymore ,(keep on an down keys. Pressed on boot)
However as mentioned before my phone works rock solid in this mode. What firmware are you on? Oo
Also it safes battery and doesn't turn hot.
Still way to much battery usage however... :-\

I'm using 10d. I tried that once and booted into update mode. "Please wait while updating" or something for about 2 hours, so I had to reboot again.

It's strange because I was using this tweak for a few days without any problems at all. Maybe some interference with another app? I don't know about battery usage, but I can comfirm it wasn't turning so hot as it does now (with 4 cores).

Update mode is up and power on. and what you want is recovery mode (down and power on)

Maybe something that needs the 4 cores? Wouldn't make sense that the phone freezes, though. Maybe there is different tegra hardware around? Or it depends on tolerance as it does with overclocking...
All I noticed was that tegra 3 demo wouldn't start anymore. Makes Sense, tough, as it needs to use all 4 cores...

I'm 99% sure I used volume down button. To be honest I can't remember but it's the same on all my android devices, so I did it instinctively.

Maybe it's the app Micro CPU monitor? It has an option to show all cores seperately and also starts on boot.
