810 v2.1

twflys · Oct 7, 2015

So did they really fix the over heating issue with the 2.1 upgrade? I have tried to research online, but have come up empty handed. Are any other devices running 2.1 currently having any issues?

Thanks

I've seen reports that it is definitely better, though I think it is too early to know for sure. I suspect it is greatly improved. I'm basing this partly of a concern by a reviewer of the 6P -- one who didn't seem to have attended the launch event -- who worried about the 6P, with it's metal case, being too hot to hold if the processor is run hard (that you'll need a case). I suspect if this were the case, that Google would have insisted on some changes during their testing of the preview phones.

I'll admit, this is one of the things I'm interested in hearing from reviews.

I don't expect it to be fully fixed, but a lot of it is going to depend a lot on the software side of things. Ex - How aggressively does the CPU get throttled?

I imagine Google got a pretty good deal on the 810 with other flagships seeming to shy away from it.

Most phones that are using an 810 are using ver 2.1. Even the HTC M9

The M9 is (at least at launch) v2.0 from what im seeing.

Interesting, most reports I've seen indicate it's a 2.1 in the M9, including here (The info coming from an HTC engineer):

Hmm. I wonder if they've switched since the phones release.

This is my guess. They had a number of complaints and so, when the v2.1 was released, they switched to it for all new phones being produced. Of course, they don't want to state that they changed, merely say they use (meaning now use) the 2.1, both to keep the original owners from finding ways to swap to a phone with the v2.1 processor -- especially since they have the 'uh oh' protection -- and to prevent having issues selling the older phones.

In the case of the Sony Z3+, the CPU is pegged to 1555MHz. The cores' hot-plugging behaviour is also altered; unneeded cores go offline quicker.

CPU-Z identifies my SOC as revision r0p2, fwiw. Notional clock speed is listed as 1.56GHz.
