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.

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!
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.

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

hzb ( 2014-02-01 16:13:15 +0200 )editMaybe 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...
masmrlar ( 2014-02-01 16:14:18 +0200 )edit- a battery % simulator. I feel uncomfortable if that value changes too slow ;-)
masmrlar ( 2014-02-01 16:16:01 +0200 )editA 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...
