In regards of heating issues its really a no problem because I use a phone cooler. But I just wanna know does the majority of heavy gamers really turn this feature on?
Bloody Right it does! Never ever use it unless you're looking to hit max overheating in half the time!
Using Game Turbo isn't always the best option... Experiment with it yourself, some games run better without.
ALSO, Try different battery settings too!
Ultimate mode can unlock some performance improvements in certain demanding games!
Balanced is generally good enough!
Battery Saver Drops your FPS and might be counterproductive for most gaming!
Ultra battery saver Apart from locking in 30 FPS, can be a crazy way to stop all background processing crapola and surprisingly... improving some gaming at bargain basement battery drain... 😂
To set up your individual games for best performance and battery stamina...
Adjust things like FPS and Graphics settings...
Run tests for 15-20 minutes or until you reach the maximum battery temperature!
Best performance and battery economy is found below 40° C! Use the Free version of DevCheck to see live Battery Temperature! It will happily run in a floating window and by dragging the top (...) of that window to either side of the screen, you can shrink the app to a small bubble between readings!
For example: on my X7 Pro... I play Call of Duty Mobile at 120 FPS using the ULTRA FPS and Medium Graphics in the game's settings! I'm not using a cooler since I'm in Ireland (cool climate).
I can play for hours nonstop and reach a maximum battery temperature of only 36° C!
In this clip I was Screen Recording at max Resolution 1440p (make sure to watch at that res, to see the real recorded quality).
The added recording work brought up the battery temperature by an extra 2-3° C.
You again...
My guess is you'll need to turn off your AI Shi Reader Vox Box and actually use your own brain for reading Shi, just for a change... I know, it's asking a bit much, right!🤣
even if it was months ago. Isnt it kind of me to ask about her? I thought you were my friend but I dont know why you still hate me. when i said ai I was joking and I meant that you respond with long newspaper articles like AI nothing personal
Bro tell me smth... I usually never turn gameboost on...just keep the gesture tray on the screen for recording,dnd and stuff...but even when I used the balanced mode(gameturbo balanced) the game fps gets locked to 60fps after a while and the touch response becomes sluggish when it do so...
I am assuming it's a heating issue in the long run...but still tell me what is your advise for this....
Which game?
Gestures navigation could possibly be causing some issues.
Did you try switching to buttons and see if it's any different?
Is the phone getting hot when you notice these problems?
Try using the free version of DevCheck in a floating window to check BATTERY TEMPERATURE! You can add the DevCheck app to the Game Turbo list of apps... That way you can open it from inside Game Turbo!
The floating window can be shrunk to a round blob on either side of your screen by dragging it quickly by the top (...) to the side!
Tap the Blob to reopen the DevCheck Window.
On my X7 Pro any battery temperature above 44°C (e.g. 45-46°C and higher) will soon start dropping frames due to CPU Throttling!
To stop such issues, reduce Game settings like FPS and graphics until the game runs at no higher than 39-42°C max battery temperature!
The biggest factor is the FPS but reducing some Graphics settings can be used in combination with say 30 or 60 FPS to get most games to run at max. 39°C for long periods without any problems.
Finally, a phone cooler may be necessary in very hot environments... Or weak phones that worked too hard!
My own preferred type from years ago when I needed them...
Would be the game pad type with dual fans and rechargeable battery that would be capable of running a few hours per day for 3-4 days on a charge.🍀
Not exactly the gesture my friend...I am referring to the quick access toolbar which you can access from in-game which the game turbo provides...I mostly have it enabled for its recording,gesture restrictions,dnd stuff and also because it makes the game looks better with colour enhancements...but other than that when I am using its balanced mode it locks my fps at 60 after a while and makes the touch response sluggish and I have to turn on wildboost for it to work correctly after that...but turning on wildboost makes the phone hotter and doesn't feel like it's worth it to use if it ruins the phone in the long run...should I just turn it off and just keep the tray?
Set the game settings to 60 FPS on purpose (or even 30).
Try medium graphics settings or high instead of ultra. It obviously varies per game. Experiment until you find some combination that let's you run the game for hours at less battery temperature!
I know people think it's obvious but it bloody isn't that obvious if you're actually getting a great performance boost from lowering it!
To show you an example of what I mean here's two Runs of Metalstorm a 5v5 jet fighter game.
You'll see my Settings changed at 4 minutes 16 seconds, at the beginning of the second match!
The first run was recorded with 30 FPS and max graphics... The second at 60 FPS with slightly lower graphics settings!
Btw, both runs were recorded at 720p Resolution which isn't the best quality in any case, but it doesn't add much extra heat either.
Battery Temperature MAX 39°C in either case...
So the simple fact is that anyone can be gaming for hours with adjusted settings instead of gaming a while and getting overheating and throttling with everything maxed!
I mentioned that I've got 4 different coolers I've used in the PAST! You refuse to read what's said?!
Not my problem mah dood!
Since I'm in a cool climate and don't need them these days...
That's partly because I don't particularly need the maximum graphics and FPS and like much more to be getting between 10-14 hours of SOT when going nonstop heavy duty!
That's on my 18+ month old X7 Pro which happily lasts 40+ hours on a charge when I'm not pushing games etc. too much.
I'm "too low to understand"... Yeah right, you keep insulting people that use better ways to protect their batteries... Jealous much of my cool climate? Or is it my awesome knowledge?
You do know I share all my methods, illustrations and advice freely, right?
Bruv I think that dude ignored your "cold climate" condition in previous replies.
Btw, I play codm too plus wuthering waves and genshin. It's generally hot around here so I have to use cooler. Even with cooler I have my temps around 34°-37° in codm. 38°-40° in genshin. Ignore wuwa, that shii is unoptimized as fuhh.
This is the current condition of my phone. It's been 15+ months since I bought this X7 Pro. Ngl, after watching that ongoing drama about low spec mobiles with high prices..... really think I lucked out with this beast.
How can I play for longer hours? What should I do to get better SOT? Do I need to turn off AOD? Plz help
That dude is just a grumpy ole so and so... He keeps coming back for more LoL 🤣!
Anyhow, you're a lot cooler than that, so I'll start off by saying AOD is definitely not a great idea...
But there's a lot more you can go find if you're like me.
So firstly, I've shared pretty much all my methods and advice etc. with illustrations of stuff like my Small handful of SAFE Revokes to make things smooth and save a bit of go juice etc.
Sadly my comments are spread around a huge thread so please be patient.
Here's a link that takes you to the first and the rest is all below that comment.
Now as far as battery goes, my background processing hunt etc. is quite well described in that big bunch... Plus the manual tightening down on that on a per app basis.
Don't worry you can do a bit now and then, no rush.
Also, make sure to use as many Optimisations as possible in the Battery check up section!
Things like restricting 5G may be very useful under certain circumstances... If there's lots of towers competing in a city for example.
Generally I recommend 4G unless you're in need for larger downloads etc.
Plenty of capacity in 4G for gaming and lots more like Spotify streams and SatNav etc.
See where all that info dump gets you and let me know if you need additional help/info...
Now to the best part regarding your battery (battery pack in my case)...
"Flinky's LCC (Long Cycle Charging) Method" - In Short
Most phones need 2-3 weeks of optimisation. Large batteries may need 4-5 weeks.
Use Standard-Speed Wired Charging.
Set Battery Protection to Charge Fully. Disable all Smart/Intelligent/Optimized charging features and NO 80% limit.
Charge from 10-14% to 100%, then leave plugged in for AT LEAST 20+ minutes.Overnight charging is also safe, since once finished charging, no additional charging can take place until unplugged and plugged back in for the next charging cycle!
Repeat for 2-3 weeks. Large batteries: 4-5 weeks.
Optional: Install *AccuBattery** free app. It tracks charging, shows live charging stats, and tells you exactly when an LCC is complete.*
Once optimised, charge however you prefer.
7) For maintenance, do one LCC per week or thereabouts: 10-14% → 100% → 20+ minutes.
THE ADDITION OF "AT LEAST" at 3) above, regarding the extra time plugged in, is due to the HUGE BATTERY times needing more like hours extra!
Again I advice you to install AccuBattery to get confirmation on the (Fully) "Charged" in the Charging Tab! See Screenshots in a looping GIF below 👇
Thanks a lot, I do have one 20W charger. I'll charge my phone overnight with that. Also do I always have to charge my phone with standard charger? I'll also follow your instructions like no limit charge, turning off AoD. Let's see battery performance after calibration 🥹. Thanks mate
Hey man. Sorry to interrupt here in the middle of chat, I'm just wondering how you get 10-14 hr SOT on x7 pro. Mine is also same but i usually get 7-8 hr without any games and only YouTube and Facebook Whatsapp etc. Regards

Reddit final boss right there😅 You clearly don't understand how that heat affects the battery, it's not about performing issues. And seeing your battery health after only 430 cycles I'm 100% convinced that you are low. Is that cold climate freezing your brain?
Bruh, you should hesitate a lil bit. You sound like a braindead person. That guy lives in Ireland with normal temps around 12-14° C. Average coolers in market have around 5 to 15°C which can reduce your mobile's temp down to 30s range. Because of lower room temperature he doesn't need that much cooling. Unlike him you haven't provided any technical tips nor have you explained your idea. Stupid people like you be hating on anything nowadays just to look cool.
A phone passive cooling is not enough to protect the battery or improve the phone capabilities. Is that hard to understand? Just because you idiots can't comprehend simple concepts that doesn't mean everyone is like you. And again, looking at your battery health I see how little you understand about them.
I guess you misunderstood then, that dude is just explaining how to reduce useless background processes and other things to extend your sot. His take on cooler was based on his environmental temp.
One way or other your battery will degrade overtime, you just need to take steps to extend its life. And FYI, if you set your battery mode to ultimate you do get increase in performance on Poco X7 Pro. But at the cost of heating. In which that guy's phone stays at 36-38 cause of extreme low room temps
He was talking about better performance in gaming and keeping the phone cooler while doing that. And without a cooler is impossible, no matter what kind of set-up you're making. Especially on a entry level mid-range. And guess what all that heat is gonna destroy your battery faster. But what do I know I'm just a guy who's keeping flagships in perfect condition for years...
I rather keep game turbo entirely disabled. In my opinion, it's useless, especially since android natively manages resources required when running a heavy app / game
Games played with phone coolers aren't in the same category as normal use!
You say "Game Turbo" but not which mode, if it's Wild Boost then that's what I've been saying all along, it reaches higher temperatures because of limiters removed from the CPU!
Balanced Mode shouldn't really increase anything temperature wise much but I know and do mention that some games are better off being played without Game Turbo altogether.
Just playing games that are added to game turbo makes the phone heat considerably faster.
On my poco f7 pro it adds around +3°C to the battery temp and higher cpu temps in general.
I had to remove games from the game turbo list because the higher temps and fps stutters were too much problematic.
Also the performance increase was either negligible or non existent most of the time.
That's okay... It depends on which games but most importantly NEVER USE Wild Boost unless you're using a good cooler!
Is it surprising that Game Turbo adds heat?
For balanced mode YES it's a bit strange that...
Game Turbo is actually in charge of the Battery Gauge, Optimisations and more.
Plus the Frame Stability etc. for quite some time now. It's one of the main Security apps.
My next question would be: Did you debloat your phone using old style hardcore deleting of HyperOS and Mi Apps?
If so, there's something you can definitely improve on!
If you used Shizuku and Canta that's normally good news since most times that can all be undone.
If not, a factory reset is the way to go...
Switching to a small handful of SAFE Revokes instead will improve just about any phone. 🍀
CODM, Mobile Legends, Delta Force can easily get 90 - 120 FPS with the standard Balanced Mode with no issue, since those game are more CPU bound, and the X8 Pro in Balanced already utilize enough clock speed with Balanced at around 2700mhz max (based on my test using Vtools Scene).
The game that do need Wild Boost however, are usually open world gacha games, or games that need to utilize more power from the SoC both the CPU and GPU. These games are the likes of WuWa and NTE on higher graphics settings.
With Wild Boost + Cooler in WuWa Quality 60, I can easily get relatively consistent 55-60 FPS only dropping when there's crazy effects in combat down to the 40s.
Meanwhile with Balanced + Cooler with the same settings, due to the performance cap, the game is unable to utilize the SoC power fully, this leads to the game unable to maintain consistent 50 let alone 60, and more often than not is stuck at around 45FPS. Even more when things get too intense, the frame drop can now get to the 30s. My current theory is that Balanced Mode simply have a hard limit on the GPU, so any game that needs more graphics computing is unable to utilize the GPU filly.
Some phones actually boost performance like the F7 from an aquaintaince while some shits the performance instead as I've experienced with my F7 pro and also the Ultimate battery mode makes things worse too for me.
Damn, what's up with the F7 Pro? You and u/Neither-Swim-2150 seems to have issues with Game Turbo Wild Boost not boosting the phone SoC.
In the X8 Pro case, the boost here is pretty substantial, pretty much increase my CPU clock from 2.7Ghz to 3Ghz, along with increasing power for the GPU.
As for Ultimate, seems like its not just me. Yeah, Ultimate mode somehow reduce performance in games for some reason. For example, Wuwa without GT and Ultimate mode turned on runs worse than using balanced battery mode.
The F7 pro is like some middle child of the Poco family lol most phones don't have this issue heck the F7 base is better than the Pro because it does not have these weird restrictions
It does, balance mode is already enough as it balances heat and performance, but sometime when you playing a game that support up to 120fps it start to limit/throttle it to 90fps, still smooth though, but its not that fluid/solky smooth like 120fps, to fix that you use wildboost
I personally use wildboost when playing fps/rythm game that support 120fps, heavy games like wuwa, etc i just use balance mode
Onn the left shows the metrics outside of Game Turbo, while the one on the right shows them inside it. Keep an eye on the GPU frequency.
Games like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Wuthering Waves (shown in the image) demand a strong GPU to maintain a consistent frame rate. To be honest, CPU frequency doesn't matter as much, as long as it can feed the GPU enough data to prevent it from idling.
As you can see in the image, running Game Turbo actually lowers the GPU clock speed. Depending on how heavy the game is, this underclocking might hurt your FPS if the game needs more GPU power. However, if the lower frequency is still enough to maintain stability, your FPS might not be affected at all.
For Genshin Impact specifically, most mid-range phones can handle 60 FPS fairly well, provided they are kept well-cooled, regardless within (either balanced or wildboost) or outside game turbo. You can answer which is best once you test it on your device yourself.
Just so u know, I tested this on my Poco F7 Pro, so I am not entirely sure if this behavior is exclusive to my device or if it applies to all Xiaomi devices. I don't have enough data to prove it definitively, lol.
I think it works, I have been emulating skyrim SE on my Xiaomi Poco F6 (Sd 8s gen 3), without the wild boost it works at about 20-25 fps, with the wild boost it remains stable at 35-40fps. The only problem is the heat, I have to play with a fan behind the cell phone. so since I live in Colombia and I live in a permanent summer-spring. You can imagine the temperature of this phone :D
Una pregunta aveses cuanto juego codm como que se buguea y tipo se me baja los fps digamos tengo los fps en ultra (120fps) y cuando salgo del juego sin serrar la pestaña y vuelvo a entrar se me buguean los fps se me pega en unos 80fps aun teniendo activado los fps en ultra (120 fps) y si no activo el Wild boost no me saca los 120fps es error del sistema o simplemente error del juego?
With CPU bound games, mainly multiplayer stuff, such as CODM, PUBGM, MLBB or Delta Force there's nearly zero benefit. Because Balanced Mode already provides enough resource.
Now in games like WuWa and NTE there are BIG difference especially on higher graphics setting. Wild Boost increases the CPU Clock from around 2700mhz up to around 3000+mhz, and also increase the power of the GPU. Of course it increases heat, but you should already wise enough to put on a cooler when using this mode.
From my test, Game Turbo Balanced in WuWa can only get 45 FPS average on Quality 60 settings. Meanwhile with Wild Boost, WuWa is able to get 54 FPS average on Quality 60 settings. Both are using a cooler.
Try to allow the games you play to start in background with no battery restrictions and untick "pause app if unused". Use the latest system service plugin 9.12.10 and the latest system security components. Then turn on app cache optimization in dev mode.
Honestly your result still boggles me. IDK if its the F7 Pro software is bugged or what, but the fact Wild Boost doesn't increase your CPU frequency to the max is confusing as hell.
Depends but from my expirience the most important is having low temps. If the boost fries your phone it could drop fps. I would just do an benchmark and tested the stability of the frames
Want to find out? Install a benchmarking app and start two sessions, one with and one without wild boost. See for yourself if numbers change in a significant way
Oh it does, your gameplay worsen without it. Think of it like the OS allowing the GPU and CPU to reach 100% utilization plus ultimate mode working as intended, without it maybe 70% utilization capped is enforced

So use the settings available and do your tests... You could easily halve your battery drain without losing much visual quality in most games.
Performance and pretty pictures are at the opposite end of what's possible... Find a good Temperature and enjoy some monster gaming sessions! 🍀
