Disable shutdown at high temperatures

[craig]

@John

If I use the Theta V, is there any chance to play around with the internal settings or does adb anyhow not allow write access to the data/variable on the camera?

I’m not sure if you can change the temperature variable on the THETA V. It is a Qualcomm SnapDragon 625 platform that uses the Android API that you can find on the Google Android developers site. If you can find someone doing this on a standard Android phone, there’s a chance that it may work on the THETA V. I suggest searching for techniques to do this on a normal Android phone before you buy a THETA V.

This guy put a switch into the THETA S.

Theta S timeless video—moon ring（maybe not this word）-update new work for fix battery issue

I try to find why the camera close but it still current consumption, but no anwser can explan. Finally I decied to make a tradition power switch ，to fix this. [%E5%BC%80%E5%85%B3] This switch is enough samll to put inside camera. [%E5%BC%80%E5%85%B3%E4%BD%8D%E7%BD%AE%E6%B8%85%E7%90%8604] And I will remove some plastic to make more room for it. [%E5%BC%80%E5%85%B3%E4%BD%8D%E7%BD%AE%E6%B8%85%E7%90%8601] On the camera side ,I drill a small window ,because it made by some metal. [%E5%BC…

You may be able to research battery bypass hacks for normal phones or use a electrical test meter to figure out the best way to reroute the power.

I somehow got some information about the pins of the THETA V here:

Possible THETA V Battery Bypass Hack - UNTESTED

A community member is experimenting with the THETA V battery and thinking about connecting the battery to an external power source in order to use the USB port of the THETA for Ethernet with USB OTG. When the THETA V is using Ethernet, the USB OTG connection does not charge the camera battery. This type of hack will completely void your warranty and will probably make your camera unusable. You should only try this if your company has a decent budget to buy a few cameras and they understand tha…

Pay attention to the electrical resistance of the center pin. You may be able to alter the resistance with an inline resistor and thus the temperature reading from the battery.

• there are 3 electrical connections on the camera to connect to the battery
• the middle connection is temperature resistance.
• use 100k Ohm as 25 degree C and 4.2V with 1A capability
• test the camera with a constant power supply from an adjustable bench power supply and adjust the voltage and ampere to cheat the power manager IC on the camera

The above solution is untested. As you are using a custom case, you may be able to test the power bypass easily and see if it has an impact on your usage.
