Oh I see

A temperature sensor on the CPU would've been more useful

I never knew it had one though THANKS!!

OK thanks, but also the bq27200 module is related to the battery.

The temperature is not constantly monitorated, it is checked every "X" minutes. X is the control delay

Even though I have ran my n900 overclocked to 1150 for several hours of heavy load, it is good to have a fail safe tool.

Specially when you live in a city where 40ºC is normal room temp.

Package needed:
Enhanced Linux kernel for power users
Enhanced Linux kernel for power users (settings)

And during installation the package try to install the bq27200 module

Code:

sudo gainroot 
echo bq27x00_battery >> /etc/modules 
modprobe bq27x00_battery

thank u for this app.it was a life saver for me.I was working on the car yesterday and i left my phone on the dash.totally forgot about it until i finished 2 hours later on a very hot day.I freaked out until I saw the app work its magic...and the phone was at 58 celcius.God know how much more it would have been with the 1000 overclock i had.thanks!

I recommend this app to anybody out there who overclocks!
