1) Message boards : Android : Way to set CPU utilization? (Message 63098) Posted 17 Jul 2015 by Jason Short Post: Setting to 100% CPU the battery will hit 108 even if I am only using 4/8 cores. Turning on all 8 and setting it to 80% use the battery was at 95.5 overnight. So I would rather not use 100% because of the heat. This is a Samsung Galaxy S6 with the 2A charger. The battery stays at 100% the whole time, so I don't think it is a weak charger. My theory is that the UI just has a glitch. The device did finish work units overnight, so the phone is working fine.

But now I am seeing a weird behavior where the tasks all swap from running to suspended over and over. I think this is because I limited the CPU usage and the UI is showing suspending rather than just sleeping or something. I will let it run this way overnight and see how it performed (and how hot it got).

I have an 8 core Android phone, but when all cores are going it hits 108 or higher temp. Is there a way I can set it to use 75% of the CPU? I think that would help it stay a lot cooler. I love the idea of this though. A lot of phones sit on a charger all night every night and could be doing science during that time.
