Comfort Level - Wrong Temps!

[thestardawg]

Is anyone else using Comfort Level? Mine is showing that the room temp is 80 degrees with 70% humidity. Thermostat shows a cool 72 degrees.

How does one calibrate this?

I'm wondering if the temperature would be more accurate if you put the phone in airplane mode for 30 minutes before checking? I'm guessing heat from the CPU and/or radio is warming the phone enough that the reported number is accurate...for the location of the sensor, inside the phone.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for good RH readings. Humidity is notoriously difficult to measure accurately even with a dedicated instrument.

Is this built into the phone? I cannot find it

Yeah it's not remotely accurate. Not once. Not sure why I need it to tell me i'm comfortable so no big loss.

Yeah, I've not quite figured out what this feature would be good for. I've never sat there thinking, "You know, my phone would be much better if it could tell me what the temperature and humidity are right now. I think I'm comfortable, but I'm not quite sure."

I was kinda hoping that developers would find a cool use for it, but I don't have any ideas of what that would be.
