battery

I am making an app that quickly drains the users battery. For this, I am planning on using the sound-framework for vibrating, location services, download large but empty files from the internet, use the flashlight on the back of the phone, and so on. I know these can effectively drain the battery, but I would like to know if there are more methods that are more or equally power/processor-consuming or that could work for this in any way? Examples on how to achieve 100% CPU usage is also very appreciated. Thanks. Srikar Appalaraju Here are some of the things you could do (Most of these are

I recently began using PubNub in my iOS app, and am very happy with it. However, I have been looking at the other options available, such as Pusher and Realtime.co, which use Websockets. PubNub, on the other hand, uses long polling. I have done my own little speed comparisons and for my purposes, I find that they are all fast enough. PubNub offers some nice features like message history and a list of everyone in the channel , so barring everything else I am leaning toward them. My question is, should I be concerned with battery life and heavy usage with a long-polling solution like PubNub?

I'm looking for best techniques for Location Aware notifications. My first try was to use LocationManager's addProximityAlert but it requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (COARSE_LOCATION gives me a SecurityException) and keeps the GPS always ON and active (at least on Jelly Bean), which drains the battery very quickly. It also doesn't seems to respect the check only once every 4 minutes when the screen is asleep ( addProximityAlert ). I'm thinking to work with the PASSIVE_PROVIDER to gather other applications location information, and maybe use a service to ask for COARSE_LOCATION every once in a

As many of other I am facing the google glass overheating issue. My question is how to detect it in the application? I was looking through the log but nothing that indicates it expect a message on the screen. Google Glass have (at least) two temperature probes. One for the battery , and the other for the CPU board . You can read them as a regular file. Battery /sys/devices/platform/omap_i2c.1/i2c-1/1-0055/power_supply/bq27520-0/temp CPU Board /sys/devices/platform/notle_pcb_sensor.0/temperature But keep in mind that these files may change location as new versions of Google Glass are shipped.

I searched over the Internet and the only thing that I found a little bit helpful was the way to get Battery status on Windows Phone 8. But I want it on Windows 8 (RT). Can anyone help me out? According to everything that I can find, we do not have access to the Power API in WinRT, it is only available for a desktop application. See this MSDN Forum article From above link: Power Management Functions apply to "desktop app only". No equivalent for the Power APIs in Metro style app. Please check Alternatives to Windows APIs in Metro style apps Here is another thread http://social.msdn.microsoft

I am looking for a code for estimating/guessing time remaining before the android phone battery is completely discharged. My search results were full of apps available and also the common comment that it's pretty much useless to calculate it. However i need the code. Any help, even a rough snippet, will do for getting started with. You can not accurately guess that how much time is remaining for battery discharge, because there might be different applications or service consuming battery. thus it might vary. However you can get battery life with help of broadcast receiver by registering a
