Cant you adjust the sensor temp with the battery temp? just a thought
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. ;)

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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hcmYud2VhdGhlcnN0YXRpb24iXQ..
What do you mean by cross ups? That app is a paid app but mine will always be free and ad free so will they sue me for all my revenue (0 dollars)? btw that app isn't an actual weather station... it uses the internet to get the readings.

If you notice there are multiple apps with the same name including two paid ones called "Weather Station"

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.
....and maguro gnex too due o the barometer inside..;)

Hey guys,

first thank you, jsstp24n5, for making this awesome app!
I made a short video about this app, to provide you and users that haven't installed this app yet a short overview and impression of it.


I hope it helps some of you, feel free to include it in the 1st post or wherever you want to share it!

Cheers mates ;)

Sensor is always affected by heat from CPU

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. ;)

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

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.

In my opinion.....
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.....
