No underclocking is underclocking.  Dont underclock cuz I believe our devices need the power. But I find often that the voltage being supplied to the proc is unnecesarrily high. So I undervolt a lil. Once I undervolt my devices run much much cooler. I find this especially true for samsung devices. Surfing generally produces a lot of heat cuz the processor seems to be chugging and eating up juice. So I slow down its juice intake.

i learned something new biggrin.gif , never heard UV can reduce heat (even in XDA). and heard many tried UC to reduce heat.

Iphones seem to be more efficient processor wise when surfing. Thats why if iphone and like a flagship samsung device go head to head battery test both pure surfing, they actually last similarly. Because iphone dont eat that much juice while samsung eats a lot. But if a mix of uses then iphone would lose. Also I do get iphone heating up when I play extensive gaming. Surfing yea not so much. Its processor.

I dont think its much to worry about.

I recommend
1. Underclocking (I dont)
2. Undervolting (I do)
3. Both (youll see epic battery savings too)

if like that buy mid-end phone ok liao, high end phone then under it rclxub.gif

Thats where the processor sits. If u open the back cover u can feel it at the back more directly behind the screen. Have u ever used a smart phone before? I ask cuz I wanted to know like compared to other devices u use how bad is it. Afaik the xperia z also has same heating up problems. Perhaps too powerful of a cpu lol. A good way to combat it is undervolting. Not sure if available for s4 d or not

Was using s2 be4 this..
n d weird thing is it's hotter on screen than on back..makes it uncomfortable to make call

Damn hot..?
How hot is it..!?
If below 50°C..I still consider it only warm and nothing to be worried about. So far my phone reach less than 45°C even when I do surfing.

So far only got two ways for rooting GT-I9500
1) by flashing cofface CWM-root
2) by flashing pre-root Chinese ROM (only a few user manage to root this way)

Better use the first one while we wait for Chainfire auto-root.

Yeah..use cofface CWM-root much safer/easier. Same as what Uncle Benny use to root his phone.

The s4 has a lot of stuff running in background also. Nfc. That eye scanning thingy. Smart stay. Whatever stuff. If u dun use I recommend switching off. Also as usual make sure u close unused apps properly. And off gps if not using too.

Take a look at "BetterBatteryStats" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...terbatterystats

For underclocking and undervolting recommend setcpu. On playstore. However the ability to do noth would depend on whether u are rooted and whether your kernel supports it. If it does u will wanna tread carefully as it can cause your device to crash and the only way to fix would be a factory reset. Uncle benny can shed more light on how much u can reduce the voltage to a minimum of 800mv. I generally reduce all by 75mv for my note 2 to a minimum of 800mv (or if by default already lower I dont touch)

Setcpu from playstore. You need root n to undervolt/overvolt kernel must support
Never tried on S4 as I find battery life is decent enough

How to undervolt the professor? Means the processor absorbs excess battery juice and the battery used up very fast? @.@

Root it and use app such as setcpu. There are several others app too. just google for undervolt n underclock app. You need to test as these apps need compatible kernel
