How to check Galaxy S4 CPU temperature?

How to check Samsung Galaxy S4 CPU temperature? A simple question but no easy answer. So far I can’t find any Android application at Google Play Store that can display Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 CPU temperature. All of them are displaying battery temperature instead. This is not what I want. Luckily, I discovered that Samsung has its own application to do so. Not so user friendly but it does the job ~ show Galaxy S4 CPU temp. It is able to show Exynos 5 Octa CPU temp. It should work for GT-I9505 Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 too.

How fast is your Nexus 4 CPU?

The very first thing that I want to find out for long time after getting my Google Nexus 4 ~ how fast is the Qualcomm APQ8064 CPU chip inside? Slow, Nominal, Fast or Faster bin? The faster bin means you can overclock and undervolt better than other bins. So you can get better performance, battery life and generate less heat if configure correctly. Want to know yours? Just use Terminal Emulator to find out. Note – Root access is required.

How to undervolt Nexus 7?

Want to increase Google Nexus 7 battery life? Undervolt Nexus 7 NVIDIA Tegra 3 Super 4-PLUS-1 Quad Core CPU is one of the ways to do so. Besides Nexus 7 7″ HD WXGA IPS screen, Tegra 3 Quad Core CPU is another big battery eater. Undervolting helps to reduce Nexus 7 battery usage, and will make Nexus 7 cooler (generate less heat) too. Unlike underclock which may not be so efficient in performance / walt ratio. Undervolt surely will improve battery life because it maintains the overall performance speed while lower the battery usage. As usual, you need to install custom kernel for Nexus 7 in order to undervolt. Stock Nexus 7 kernel does not support it.
