The Droids casing is extremely small considering that it is a slider so that could have a big influence. And as for the older laptop; x86 processors, especially older Intel ones, were idle at 50C easily. I just thought this was interesting because I never saw and arm processor get this hot. It...
Well I was testing it a little more thorough and this time i had it charging while i did this because the battery would of probably died without it. I had Quake 3 running with multiple bots and i tested to see the temperature every hour and this is all at 800mhz.
Hour 1 it was at 49C
Hour 2 it...
Well later on when i get home from work im gonna do a test for at least 5 hours and do an overall more thorough test. As for frying it I have overclocked every phone/pda Ive had and although im not using them for the long term use ,e.g. more than 5 years, i have never seen or heard anything...
Well tomorrow when i should have some free time ill be able to do a test like that. ^_^
Well reading from the project website http://code.google.com/p/kwaak3/ it says its using Neon. Beyond that i truly don't know enough about this, i merely just picked this because it stressed my phone more...
I tried to look it up but i couldn't find out what the voltage is at. And today i had it all day at 1000mhz and everything was stable except for one widget that crashed twice. Playing random games for 10-15 mins at a time and web browsing was no problem.
At 800mhz playing quake 3 for 2 hours my cpu went to about 45c. The keyboard and back got very warm but nothing of what felt dangerous for the cpu itself. And now im even more excited for the Pandora after trying to play quake on a touch screen...
I am currently running a match with bots killing me and running around shooting each other at 800mhz and im gonna leave it up for at least 2 hours to see what that does.
Since the other threads are becoming more offtopic and cumbersome ive decided to start a new thread for this.
So I decided to do some test on my Droid as for heating and the processor. I know that it uses a 600mhz cortex a8 processor underclocked to 550mhz, which I believe is extremely similar...
Thanks for the constant updates Ed, Its truly appreciated to have the constant updates and complete honesty about the Pandora. I cant wait to get my Pandora and Ill be waiting patiently to get wifi working to have easier tethering with my Droid.;)
This looks amazing especially considering the first dev pandoras were just recently shipped. Cant wait to see what happens with a few months or even years of developing can truly do :)
