Note to people testing BOINC on Android: We need to find out whether BOINC causes battery overheating. Please occasionally check your battery temp, and post (to this list) typical values both while running and not running BOINC apps.
I'm not sure if this works on all phones, but on my HTC phone if you type *#*#4636#*#* into the phone dialer, you get a menu; click on Battery Information to see the temp. -- David -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Android Battery Temp Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2013 20:26:06 -0500 From: Rom Walton <[email protected]> To: David Anderson (BOINC) <[email protected]> David, The only documentation I found so far on the stuff we are using is: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.txt?v=2.6.25 ----- Rom Transcript from Nexus 7: u0_a103@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ ls capacity device health power present status subsystem technology temp type uevent voltage_now u0_a103@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat temp 350 u0_a103@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat temp 360 u0_a103@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat temp 360 u0_a103@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat temp 360 u0_a103@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat temp 360 u0_a103@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ Transcript from HTC One: u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ ls batt_attr_text batt_current batt_debug_flag batt_id batt_power_meter batt_state batt_temp batt_vol capacity charger_control charger_timer charging_enabled charging_source delta device full_bat full_level health navigation over_vchg overload phone_call power present status subsystem technology type uevent u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat batt_temp 320 u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat batt_temp 371 u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat batt_temp 415 u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat status Charging u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat health Good u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat capacity 79 u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat batt_temp 446 u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat batt_temp 476 u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat batt_temp 487 (overheat alarm) u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ cat batt_temp 318 (idle) u0_a26@android:/sys/class/power_supply/battery $ _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
