hi everyone , when i play high end games like nova 3 and modern compat 4 the game runs perfectly for about 5 min then it starts to lag very badly and the phone becomes very hot ,, my c6602 is upgraded to the new firmware and the temperature is about 30 c in my country , in case it helps

It is a known issue. The problem is, when device becomes hot due to high load like gaming, after a while it is decreasing processor's speed to lower the temperature. Maybe it would be possible to decrease MHz a little bit less?

But this only Sony or Qualcomm can answer.

thank u very much, so it's not abnormal? I mean does every sony Xperia z have the same issue in high temperature condition?

It seems that every android device have this issue in high temperature. Is is OS related.

so here's what i got from your answer : in areas which have cool weather the phone will rarely reach that heat which makes it decrease processor's speed even while playing high end games , but in areas which have hot weather like here in egypt (some times it reaches 40c) the phone will reach that heat rapidly because of the hot weather, is that your point??

Yes, that's the point, and it comes to every fast / high end phone, not only Xperia Z. Besides, unfortunately we do not know how much is the speed reducing. However, many times lag appears because of lack of optimisation of the code by developer. Ask developer of the game to optimise the code for Xperia Z processor and gpu.

Thank u very much I really appreciate, I just wanted to make sure it's not a hardware issue overall it's just a game and I deleted it already it takes so much from the battery:smileyhappy:

Please also take into account Sony explanation:

"As posted earlier in the thread; it's normal.

The phone will get warm while using it. The phone does also have built in functions to prevent overheating. It will close processes if the temperature gets to high and will eventually close itself down after giving you a message about overheating. Until you see any message about it, it's all good."

All these games still havent been optimized for the new flagships namely xperia z, zl , samsung s4, htc one. Wait for their devs to release updates

I have played the games on s4 and htc one and experienced some lags (so fanboys please don't come to bash me up even you know it's the truth)

Unfortunately I have the same experience with Temple Run 2 and Temple Run Oz. Prior to my Xperia Z I had a htc Evo 3D and both games ran quit good. Now I got an brand new XZ, and both games are quit unplayable, because it lags in critical situations, for example when you have to swipe. You can't time your actions anymore and playing these games is very frustrating.

The device is on 4.4.4, not rooted or anything, 9 GByte free memory and 1 GByte Ram used.

I bought an used ZR for my daughter, and on that phone it is even worse. She has installed a lot more apps though, but even on her old Alcatel the games did better.

Same here on Xperia Z.

Problem starts when you're installing game. It will recognize your hadrware and your screen resolution and instal high resolution mode of the game.

For instance: I play Amazing Spiderman on Xperia Z and same game on Xperia T. It runs smoother on Xperia T because of lower resolution and gives a lot of lag on Xperia Z. It's unplayable!
