Re: Need a little help from an Android wizard

Absolutely yes on WiFi only! You must cool your Android with a laptop cooler or it will crawl at a snail's pace (just like any CPU). Androids are highly finnecky. I have 16 Smart phones all of which are dedicated to WCG. I check them 3 - 4 times per day with an infrared thermometer gun placed on the upper half of the display which is apparently directly above the processor. An android will typically read 70 degrees F to 82 degrees F when crunching near specs. If it reads 66 to 68 degrees F it has throttled down due to processor temps exceeding turbo specs. Exactly like it would with an any cpu which turbos to a higher clock speed if it has enough thermal headroom. If it throttles down, I power down the phone for about 5 minutes and restart. It will almost always goes back to full crunching speed. I put my phones on a table right in the output of my window air conditioner which never turns off. I intentionally undersized the A/C so it would run continuously trying to cool the livingroom thus assuring continuous cold air blowing across the top and bottom of my phones assuring not only great crunching numbers, but also a FLOPS/Watt ratio which assures the pollution produced doing the research doesn't cancel out the benefit of finding a possible cure. Desktops (200- 330 W) and laptops (50 - 90 W) are energy pigs compared to a (6-7 W) Samsung Galaxy S10. The costs are higher for phones, but when the phone is paid off one can run it all day for one penny.

Re: Need a little help from an Android wizard

Just to share, I run with 6 cell phones, all with temperature in 32 degrees C to avoid have any issue with batteries.

Almost all androids devices have very limited refrigeration systems (just the devices external surfaces!) so I think that no need take risks running at limits ! It will run very much with this kind of barrier ! wink
