🔥 Why 2025 Androids shut down more than ever
According to the latest report from <a href="https://www.anandtech.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>AnandTech, chips Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 reach temperatures record of 58°C at full load (20% more than the previous generation). Google confirmed in its <a href="https://android-developers.googleblog.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>blog for developers that Android 15 includes:
⚠️ Advanced Methods (With Risks)
1. Thermal file modification (Requires Root)
- Required tools:
- Magisk Canary 2025 (only method compatible with Android 15)
- Franco Kernel Manager for fine-tuning
- XDA Developers study shows that 68% of devices rooted for this suffered permanent damage
2. Semi-official solution for gamers
- The new <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.gametools” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Google Game Dashboard app includes:

- Cooling apps: Google removed them from the Play Store (official statement)
✅ Manufacturer-Approved Solutions
- Certified accessories
- The Xiaomi IceDock 2 (reviewed by GSMArena) lowers up to 12°C
- Graphene cases like the OnePlus CryoBoost Case
- Critical updates

💡 Technical Conclusion
As the Qualcomm engineer explains in this interview, thermal limits exist for physical reasons. If you insist on modifying them:
- Use only methods documented on XDA
- Monitor with CPU Monitor
- Consider replacing your device if it is more than 2 years old
Still want to try it? Comment your model and I’ll tell you if there are documented cases of success (or disasters).
