What I posted there on my initial investigation...
It's the shutdownIfOverTempLocked() routine that is firing and shutting down the phone. I changed the call to require a user acknowledge so it would not actually shut the phone down and I added a log to see which one was causing it..
So the temporary fix is to change 'false' to 'true' in line 339 of BatteryService.java and recompile android, or just BatteryService.java if you know how to do that in isolation.
I presume it's a sensor problem. I'm going to dig in and see what is causing it to fire on this condition and see if there isn't a software mitigation that can be put in place.
Later on, after ploughing through android source code.
thermald looks at a number of temperature sensors, including the battery sensor and the configuration file tells it to shut down on several of the sensors when they hit a max. However thermald does not issue shutdowns for the battery thermal sensor limit. It implements the clock throttling at different temperature points, the idea being that the battery will never get to the max temp.
So when the thermal sensor erroneously reports a max temp, thermald raises all sorts of alarms that you see in the logs and slows your clocks, but it does not shut off the phone.
The code that shuts off the phone is in BatteryService.java and BatteryService.java gives you no logs whatsoever when in does what it does. The logs above are what I added and it happens once for each time the phone erroneously tries to shut down.
So it's easy to see the alarms in the log, see the shutdown happen and conclude that thermald is doing it, but it isn't. BatteryService.java is doing it and is being stealthy while it does it.
The ultimate point being that the battery thermal sensor died after a period and the response is what is described in the link.
>Very tempting to get a Ubiquiti Bullet and high gain yagi aimed at SJC airport.
I'm doing that at home. I have a flat roof on my house and I can see the bar from my roof and there's a handy pole supporting the TV antenna. A direct wifi link to the bar, connecting for my fiber internet will let me work from the bar all day.
>Or call your credit card company before you leave and say you will be traveling in country X on these days.
Tried that. They still blocked the card after my first transaction abroad. You are making the mistake of thinking banks have processes that meet your needs, rather than their needs.
High clock speed is a poor trade off these days. That's why the clock speed wars ceased.
If you see an oddball chip touting a 50% clock speed improvement over the current top end mass market CPUs you know you're going to need a power station and a refrigeration plant just to run the thing.
>A search of 4G phones will be sufficient; plus it will work in Scotland and the USA. If you are going to buy a 4G phone in the UK, you might as well have it unlocked here, before taking it back to the USA, if it is still illegal to have phones unlocked in the USA!
It was never illegal to have phones unlocked in the USA. However in the UK, you can waltz into any skeevey looking phone store and they'll unlock it for a small fee while you go and get lunch.

The shop might. That doesn't stop the bank not authorizing the transaction because they don't know where your phone is.
Between a corporate Amex and a backup card, I do fine travelling.

Atlanta airport has the competitive disadvantage of being in Atlanta.

You're screwed if you break your phone and then go to the store to buy a replacement.

Thank you. Yes, I'm a cynic.

Or isn't a licensed interstate gun dealer and wan't to avoid the legal consequences of dealing in guns without such a license.

So they got lazy and wanted to cut out all the manual labour.
But definitely relevant in an article about buying a phone for use in Scotland.
But if the computation takes more than two years, you're better off waiting for faster silicon.
CCM is passe. OTR mode is where it's at.

How so?

They have, but with the Aberdeen filter, it comes across as "asjkerbell furneeellble"
This isn't the US. It's not a complicated purchase and doesn't need to be expensive.

If only it had 4 SIM slots.

That's suggests that at most it's a soft configuration, with common hardware.

I had T-Mobile before 4G was around.
I hate all of them.
