Does the K700i and others Have Thermometers Built in? |

Hi,
I use a piece of software called floAT's Mobile Agent, which is a great piece that displays all the things going on with your phone, charging, current consumption, battery life in percentage, and many other things, along with allowing you to make and recieve calls through your computer and texts, e-mails etc...
But the point I am trying to make, is that the computer, (through the software), gives a reading in degrees centegrade of the temperature of the phone and battery, these are clearly actual as I have done many tests,
So, does the K700i and others have thermometers in-built?
Have I been missing the fact that phones have thermometers?
or is it new, or unknown?
Thanks, Charlie. |

Well it is kind of a read(measure) of resistance that lets you know the phone's temp. (Or sg of that sort.)

yes i think this is a silly temperature gauge, not what i would call a thermometer, the SPV has an app similar to what you are suggesting, it measures the phones "cpu" temperature.
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

Yeah, it does seem a bit silly although based on the tests that I have done to check whether or not it is real, (by putting phone outside, keeping laptop inside), and it does give an accurate temp.
A good little feature although a bit dodgy!

We need a piece of software, that shows the temperature on the screen. Now that would be cool.

I would still like to rely on our natural instinct..!
1) When its Hot..I have a coke or beer in hand...!
2) When its Rainy..I have dripping hair...!
3) When its cold..you will find me at the nearest Coffee Bar.
Lol..
But yeah! It will be cool to have a TEMP Display

Hmmm . . . about 'temperature' issues  I guess that the Nokia 5210 introduced the very 1st fone with temperature feature on it  |

@clank, they are using a thermistor (or similar) which changes resistance when the temperature changes. The measured voltage across this resistor is converted to a digital value and calibrated to represent the temperature of the cpu of the computer. The phone probably uses the same principle to check the internal temperature of the phone, not the temperature of the room.
If you want to check it, try monitoring the temperature of the phone while charging and you will notice a significant rise.
resistance is futile. |

Nokia 5120 users say the temperature is not really accurate.
A cell phone is often held close to the body. That might make it no so useful.
Fun feature though. |

So is there any application like this?

the batteries are temperature monitored to ensure that they are charging OK, and to prevent them from charging if they are too cold or too hot and damaging the battery.
Would be nice to access the thermometer on the phone  |

Hopefully there is something to do with the cpu of the phone. however, it is a bit confusing what is the cpu temp for? Unless it is for battery temp which is usually rise during charging. therefore it should give us the safe temperature for the battery. above the safety temp means there is a harmful effect to the battery. thanks

the temp read by fma is associated with the battery. My Phone Explorer also reads the battery temp from the phone
