why always with the crappy "auto start" on phone boot?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
The pressure will work on any device that has a barometer (e.g. Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, etc). The temp and humidity will only work on a Galaxy S4 b/c it is the only device right now with a ambient thermometer and hygrometer.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
As I explain in the Google Play listing, the auto start permission is to run a very short service to re-set the alarm so background readings can be taken. The service only runs for a split second and then kills itself. If you disable background readings the service won't run on restart.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] coolpepp:
I am very interested in knowing how accurate the temperate sensor is working on the S4. Can someone test this out with a dedicated temperature reader and tell me how accurate it is or how off it is in Fahrenheit? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] prodigiez:
if u can add a temp warning notification , then it will be perfect...

like i am able to set it to warn if the temp goes over xx degree..
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] zige:
Oh thanks mate! I got these readings, first is in my home and second is from outside. That second is littlebit weird because internet shows that there is only +4 celsius.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
How long were you outside for? Perhaps the phone needed to stay outside longer in order to read the temperature correctly (away from other heat sources like yourself or the sun)?? Or worst case scenario is that the S4 temp sensor is not that accurate (we would need to find some specs on the sensors that Samsung is using).

Is there any way to calibrate the temp sensor.?

Currently most readying are way higher than actual readings

Thank You.Vry nice app.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] prodigiez:
u need to wait a lil longer
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] zige:
About 10minutes. Maybe i need to try later, but usually i'm outside only 5-10minutes when i walk to train station or to grocery shop.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
This was debated by me when I was making the app and I decided not to include it (but may put it in a future release if it is greatly demanded). The logic is that the temperature sensors are supposed to be calibrated to high accuracy at the factory and should not lose accuracy over time. Thus the "actual reading" you are referring to IS the actual reading that the thermometer on the phone is reporting. If it is higher than another thermometer nearby, it is higher for a reason (probably because of your body temperature heating the sensor, or the sun, or some other reason). The question is why fudge that?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] prodigiez:
i guess your mobile must be in your pocket.. try expose it to the weather.. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
This will be in the next release.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] creed:
I've noticed that the temperature on the S4 is always higher. The reason is probably that the S4 is a heat source in itself! Unless the temperature sensor is incredibly well insulated from the rest of the phone then it will always be affected. I might test this and take a reading but only after having left the phone off for some time like 30 minutes (to let it cool sufficiently) then switch it on and take the reading before too much heat has built up in the device.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rallyfan1986:
works great! very simple to use!

it would be nice to be able to display dew point and relative humidity at the same time

:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] reTARDIS:
Thanks! I've wanted to play with those sensors but up until now haven't found a way to do so.

From my initial use of sitting in my living room with it, it seems to always read around 10 degrees higher than my digital indoor thermometer and thermostat read but I assume this is due to the heat the phone produces itself.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
1) Set background readings to record every 15 mins.

2) Put the phone in a dark spot in the room with the screen off and don't touch it for 30 minutes.

3) The background temperature reading(s) taken during that period should be very close to the room reading.

Just wanted to say thanks for this app, I made a short post about it on the AT&T specific S4 section and man, those sensors are pretty damn accurate, huh?

Thanks for making it simple and quick to view and use!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Lifthrasil:
Great comparision, KryptosXLayer2.

creed, zige, Rar9 have you tried putting your phone on a table and to wait for a few minutes to get better temperature readings?

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] prodigiez:
thx ... u did it with alert..well done
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] artnada:
I just tried this.

It says it is around 19 degrees inside my place, I left the phone outside for 15 minutes on it's own.

The temp actually went UP by 2 degrees!!!

It's currently 07:30am and approx 7 degrees and Sunny outside here in the UK.. The Sun is behind where I live so the front of my place, where I left the phone, is in the shadows.

So this seems to think it's 21 degrees outside!

Good effort, but it doesn't seem to work properly.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] prodigiez:
pls remember that the sensor is built in the device.. your device generate heat too.. dont expect 100% accuracy..

btw thumbs up for creator.. a good and nice app ... forget about ppl that complaining.. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] artnada:
14 degrees is a big difference in accuracy. And no one is complaining. They are pointing out the fact that sadly, it doesn't appear to be too accurate.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] thangbom:

The app shows about 1.7 degrees C too much:)

I dont think its too hard to correct it..
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
When I tested the graphs it was showing Celsius but I might have missed somewhere else. What do you mean by "stat menu"?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
This seems to be the biggest complaint so let's have a discussion. I don't believe in offsetting/calibration/fudging the values but will put it in if it is demanded. The logic for keeping the fudging out is that you would be offsetting the temperature by a constant when in fact there is a non-linear (in time) relationship between what the ambient thermometer on the S4 is reporting and what your other base thermometer is reporting. This happens because the phone hardware/case is not "over-heated" with the same magnitude all the time i.e. your touching it, then not touching it, the screen is on then it is off. Thus, unless you decide to alter your calibration value every second it would be just as useful to not calibrate.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
Yeah, don't fudge the data, please, the sensor clearly works, I've used it plenty and checking with other thermometers around my house, it reads the correct temp as long as everything else is pretty stable (you mentioned touching the device, screen temps, even battery temps, too), so adjusting anything on there would yield untold problems - let's just not go there, please!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
Try uninstalling and reinstalling... that has worked for others.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] d0nald01:
Cant you adjust the sensor temp with the battery temp? just a thought
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
KryptosXLayer2 and others have already shown that without touching the phone and with the screen off for a while it is very accurate. This fits with the marketing of the phone for exercising/hiking (i.e. it reads temperature well if you aren't touching it or have the screen on).

However, if you find out there is a valid functional relationship between the battery temp and the ambient temp then I could include this as an option. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NapalmDawn:
Jsst-Are you okay with the fact that your app has the same name as another weather station app? Just wanted to bring it to your attention in case any cross ups ever happened. I noticed because I actually really like this one and use it myself.

request: maybe add an extra field for gps coordinates?

it could be optional as it uses extra battery

but I think it would definitely look good here and be useful
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sashok_bg:
Sensor is always affected by heat from CPU

In my opinion this sensor is almost totally useless since the phone is always producing heat... a LOT of heat. This is a quad core CPU we are talking about + 5'' display. I can't imagine having to wait for long periods of time with my phone doing nothing, outside of my pocket, just to get the temp reading (hoping it will be close to the real temp).

So finally this sensor is a nice play tool for developers (I did my own mini app as well), but totally useless for end users.

Great job on the app anyway !

Regards,

Alexander
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
You also have to remember that this is the first Android implementation of this sensor. In the future there will be more Android devices with these sensors and I'm sure the implementation of the sensors will improve. If I remember correctly the Galaxy Nexus was the first Android device with a barometer and then shortly afterwards others followed.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
Let me stop you right there.... The numbers don't lie! Look at my comparison pic, it proves that it works well, and it's not like I was setting up this crazy photo shoot for 20 mins, I took it out of my pocket, fumbled with it for some time to get the phone to stand up on its own, and shot it next to a digital thermometer - it was off by a degree!

Not sure why you're being so hard on these sensors, it really works for me, but oh well.....

The app has been updated based on many great user suggestions and feedback.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
VERY cool, thank you for using my suggestion for being able to change widget text color!!! The font size on the S4 made it such that your description on the page cut off what you were saying, it reads:

Did you mean to continue saying "hex color?" I tried FF33B5E5 and it said that it wasn't a valid color....
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
Hmmm I will have to fix that...

Anyways, you have to put # before the hex color so enter "#FF33B5E5"
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
No worries, also think about a check on having that field accidentally left blank - I thought I copied and pasted it in and hit Okay before I saw it was blank, ended up crashing the app, preventing me from being able to enter settings, had to restore from Titanium Backup, then reinstall the update just to get back into settings!

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kevlarman:
It's a nice app, and I concur that it is very accurate if your phone is sitting on a desk for a few minutes to stabilize.

However, I have noticed that the widget wakes the screen every 15 minutes (or whatever interval you set). I have confirmed this with Wakelock Detector.

Is there any way of having it update but not wake the screen. Oftentimes I will see the screen wake up out of the corner of my eye and look at it expecting a message, only to see that the temperature has updated. :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
This shouldn't happen unless you have enabled Screen Wake Lock under Troubleshooting. I can't reproduce your issue, however I have already changed the way wake locks are acquired in the next release (v1.3.1.1) so your issue will probably disappear.

Congrats for the great app...

I work with hydrology and use my GS3 a lot in field work to install Automatic Hydrologic Station (baromether, inclinometer and compass).

With GS4 (and temp and hygro sensor), I only need a serial port to access the log of the station.

Maybe if I can use another sensor (proximity sensor ou luminosity sensor?) to measure the solar intensity, I get a complete agrometeorological station.

Bumping a thread is frowned upon even when its done because another author copies your work in an inferior product with part of the UI virtually identical and puts it in the play store, unfinished and in and underdeveloped, ahead of everyone else.

Just have a question regarding the Widget for this app. I am using the latest version as of today.

I am experiencing a lot of battery usage from the Maps application on my GS4 and I am disabling a few apps to sort out where the ask for position service is coming from. I did also notice that my screen is somehow turned on by itself every now and then. I did restart my phone before I removed the widget from my homescreen but the symptoms did not go away. I then removed the widget and restarted my phone. After that the Maps application has not been using much battery power, and my screen stays black. This makes me wonder if the widget was causing all my problems.

At first I thought it was the travel wallpaper that changes every three hours or so that was causing my screen to turn on, but I ruled that out. I am not sure if this widged is the case as I have disabled features from other apps as well, but it might be something to look out for if you are using this cool app/widget.

Edit: It turned out to be the lack of my UMTS/3G coverage under certain weather condition that was causing my screen to turn on by itself. Everytime my phone switched from UMTS to EDGE, or vice versa, it turned the screen on. I had also enabled position service in the Widget. After I disabled all the position service in every widgets and Google apps, I can use my phone at least an hour longer before it needs a recharge.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NEOAethyr:
Great app, I got it installed on my i9500.

However I have to say this.

The app is useless without an offset algo baised off from either the battery or cpu temp.

It seems alright when I have my phone off for half an hour, but in less then a min it becomes useless when the phone heats up by 10-15 degrees.

In order to get this working you're gonna have to poll the temp data for either the battery or something and offset it by a certain amount.

I would recommend using something to figure out the ratio.

By leaving the phone on at that weather station temp screen, and then taking the temp of the ambiet area with a stand alone probe of some sort, grabbing the battery temp from the phone's internal data (don't use a probe for this, the value could be offset by a degree or more) and using that as a way of figuring it out.

You're gonna have to put this temp on the same screen as the other temp so you can figure it out.

You don't have to put it on the display on a release ver but it needs to be there for debugging your own app.

If you do this, we call all pitch in and say if the temps seem realistic or not.

At the moment though, this is way offset the real ambient temp :(.

Anyways good luck, I really hope you listen and use one of the internal temp sensors to offset it by...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Gillion:
To add to this... also consider the phones that have thick cases on them... especially cases that have a felt material lining (like some of the seido hard cases)

When my case is on the device the temp reading is 4 degrees centigrade higher at first start... then when the device warms up the temp difference can reach 10 degrees centigrade

When the case is off it is closer to actual.

Humidity is also slightly affected.

Sent from my GT-I9500
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
The only thing I can use is the battery temperature since that is the only internal temp that is available on vanilla Android. That is only reported when it changes. The usefulness of this idea and the implementation of it isn't as simple as you are suggesting since you are assuming the relationship between the battery temp and what the ambient temp sensor is reporting is linear and doesn't vary from device to device.

What I will do in a future release is allow you to use an optional adjustment for the ambient temp and/or humidity based on what you enter for the actual observed values relative to the battery temp. The adjustment can be either proportional or constant.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jsstp24n5:
I'm not sure why you should expect the value to be accurate with a case on. Anyways you can use the Calibrate Values option under Troubleshooting or wait for the batter temp adjustment in a future release.
