sorry for going off topic, but does anyone know of a good way to make this device less hot during playing games like candy crush and the like? I have been looking for mods, but it seems every one i have tried doesn't do all that much to reduce the heat. any response would be appreciated!
Shutdown/restrict background processes. Turn brightness down.
Take your battery and inspect it. Is it swollen, warping, or anything from normal? Definitely don't need it leaking or "going boom-boom!"
You can try "My Android Tools" by WanQi from Play Store. Just don't go bonkers disabling everything, you can corrupt yoyr phone. There's a backup feature in app, use it. If you need help with working the app, let me know.
@Curtis1973 the "my android tools pro" has a feature that starts up the app after an install is complete. So you can disable the things you don't want BEFORE the new app ever gets ran, plus it'll startup after upgrades too!! Best app I ever put on my phone, which is also on all 7 of my other devices. The "MinMinGuard" is a great minimally invovled yes/no adblocker. "AdAway" you probably know about already. But the protection that the 3 apps provide together is staggering, "it'll bring a tear to your eye" (LOL). I support the apps I believe in and use, but I decide if an ad (read marketing crap) appears/runs/shows up on my phone. Yes there is way too much adware garbage put out on the market, which is making hostile android users that will go to any lengths to eradicate that crap.
Each android user is different. So it comes down to the basic questions, that everyone should ask, "Do I know what I am putting on my device?" and "Do I know what I am allowing the apps to do/access? (Did I even look at the permissions?)". That's why I constantly say "read, read, read". Learning is wonderful thing.
