Phone feels awfully cold after update [not relevant]

After updating to 1.0.3.8 my jolla feels a lot colder than it used to. This is uncomfortable in my hand.

Please give users like myself the option to have a jolla that provides the required warmth.

hahaha :D Fixed NFC bug -> the battery doesn't get as warm any more. Too power friendly phone?

Playing joke with the NFC energy consumption issue?-)

Maybe that could be a good idea for TOH: Some heat elements. Then it should also be no issue if the battery drains, 'cause its just a resistor. As an alternative: Please implement some fancy loops that prevent noop/idle in the cpu and gpu. Should also give some warmth back...

  • a battery % simulator. I feel uncomfortable if that value changes too slow ;-)

A noez, even better idea for TOH: peltier element. by that you could warm your hand during winter time and cool when it feels too warm...

You can find an app called ”3D Dice” in the Store. The description tells that it uses a lot of CPU, so perhaps you can use that to get the warmth you require? ;-)

I can't find this app (3D Dice) at the store after the latest update (1.1.0.39), do you have any idea why? thanks

If you want your phone warmer you can try running this after startup:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

edit: or this...

$ :(){ :|:& };:

haven't tested it, use at your own risk!

/dev/zero is too lightweight. use /dev/random, that's better

The forkbomb is too fast. Should cause instant dead (after the swap is filled).

masmrlar ( 2014-02-01 16:26:13 +0200 )edit

The speed does not tell anything about cpu usage/calculation complexity. /dev/zero is fast, cause it does in fact nothing that delivering 0. And as we don't have a nulldevice (old joke on 1st april) that can burn bits to energy, we need to rely on /dev/zero also not creating cpu use. Maybe dd does.

masmrlar ( 2014-02-01 16:34:33 +0200 )edit

And don't "test" that way, caus you bloat you partition. use dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile count=100000 and check the time it used. But the speed is no measure of cpu use (in this case)

masmrlar ( 2014-02-01 16:37:51 +0200 )edit

@lk Ok, small test: neither of us is right. Your dd of /dev/zero creates no cpu use (I am right) and the system lacks entropy to cause cpu use on /dev/random (you are right). So the idea of dd does not work - bad answer, No cpu use -> no wamth....
