Cpu throttling?

[Kaepernick]

I notice that a game I'm playing tends to lag a little when the phone gets hotter. Does this mean the cpu is throttling and is there a safe way to change it so it doesn't do that?

Any phone will lower cpu speeds during a thermal event, only way to change it would be to modify the kernel or use root to change the governor to a better optimized/efficient profile.

have you tried the game function in general settings?

Yeah. The game is already at half resolution or whatever. I guess I could mess around with it some more. I did read of a kernel somewhere on here that allows me to mess with the cpu governor, but I don't know if I'll be flashing it or not. Going to do some more reading.

I might check out Lineage 17 to see if that's better, but the Bluetooth thing holds me back.

I play Pubg mobile. I also experienced lags. It is caused by thorttling. Since I rooted the phone and changed CPU governor to conservative or performance I have no lags at all. Games are running smooth as hell.

Did you flash a different kernel or are you using a custom rom?

I am running stock rom with stock kernel, I just rooted the phone https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/development/magisk-18-0-boot-images-t3955096

I tried using root apps to change it and I tried editing it myself. It just keeps going back to default. I do have root.
