S24U (Snapdragon) overheating

Hello Team,

My phone seems to heat up so much when using ABRP that I get the message "Smartphone overheating" in Android Auto. When I use wireless charging in my IONIQ 6, it can even happen that the phone closes all apps because it has become too hot.

My guess: Could it be that you are using 60 FPS or even more FPS to render the interface? This would not be necessary for a smooth navigation output. 20-30FPS would be sufficient, including a reduction to 12FPS if only minimal movement needs to be displayed, e.g. if you are only travelling straight ahead for a longer section of the route. According to my observations, Google Maps uses such an approach to reduce power consumption and heat.

The first tests over the last few days, with the cable attached, have at least shown that the user experience has not deteriorated as a result of the 30FPS. With the cable connected, overheating was no longer a problem. I would test wireless charging again in the next few days.

4.7.10 or 4.7.11 both limit the FPS to 30 in Android Auto - curious to know if it helps in your case!

Hello team,

the version number of my app tells me 4.7.10 (2689), is this the correct version?

Thanks for the observation and report! We have just released a 4.7.10-1 on Google Play which will reduce the FPS to 30 in Android Auto only. Please see if that gives a nice user experience and if it reduces the overheating.

We are investigating this, agree that higher FPS is unnecessary here.
