Freezing my Pre
![]()
Please, don’t ask me why I did this.
I’ve always found it nifty that Govnah by webOS Internals can report cpu temperatures. Even though I knows it’s damaging my phone, I sometimes keep my Pre in my pocket just to see how hot it can get. However, when I saw a can of compressed air today I tried to see how cold I could get my phone and I may have set a record.
In the video after the break, watch me bombarded my Pre with blasts of coldness.
Starting at 42°C, my Pre cooled a chilling 49° to -7°C. I noticed two signs of inhibited function. First, completely frosted, the capacitive screen wasn’t able to recognize my finger properly. Although, once I wiped the ice of the screen, webOS had no problem picking up my finger. Second, the keys on the keyboard were thoroughly frozen. If I applied enough pressure they worked, but I never felt any sort of click to confirm I had a pressed a button. Within the hour my Pre returned to normal operating temperatures and had no evidence of the torture it recently faced.
[Ed. note: Please don't try this at home kids!]
Anyways, I know I am not the only one that has subjected their webOS device to extreme temperatures. So, what are your records?
