Get one of those external battery thingys, they can be pretty big on power but not on size. The other options are to set the battery limit lower or to only crunch when it's plugged in.

it does run only when externally powered . I was hoping to find a power cube that would make it happy and stay above 90 %

If the charger can't keep it up above 90% when it's running now, nothing may help as you could be limited by the charging rate of the device. I would suggest backing off on the cores used and see if you can crunch with 6 cores, for instance, and see if the charger can keep it up above the 90% mark then. I use an iphone and my wife has an ipad, the iphone charges at half the rate of the ipad even if you plug it into the ipad charger. It just charges at the 1 watt maximum no matter how big an adapter you plug it into.

I found some chargers that were multi chargers and are fast IQ chargers . also one plug was was not seating in the wall socket probably aggravating it so far the phone is staying pretty happy . check out the stats on this thing they look potent - it does not get hot just lightly warm . I also have a tablet 4 with 4 cores crunching . I hope they do real work ;-] a work unit on the phone is about 30 + hrs [ it only crunches with external power ] thanks folks

That's very good news!! Crunch on!!!

for whatever reason the charger - is responding to the crunching load ; ans is working Ok

Your best bet is getting a couple of the most powerful external battery packs you can find, for example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FDK2G2C

Note that they weren't intended for running your device with all cores going full-blown continuously. You'll need two because you're going to deplete one eventually and need to recharge it.

However, you're going to have a bigger issue: heat. A tablet has more surface area to spread out the heat, but your phone is quite compact. You're not going to be tossing it into a bag and unless you are someplace cold, you'll probably not enjoy the heat of it in your pocket. So, you'll need to put the phone down someplace and chances are that place will have a socket to plug in anyways...


Incidentally. That is not an octa-core. There is no such thing on the market. It's a dual quad-core, bringing it up to 8 cores total but not an octave-core. You have four cores @ 2.1 Ghz and four cores @ 1.5 Ghz. Samsung conveniently buries this info so although misleading, it's not a full-out misrepresentation.

Still, I'm waiting for the sh*t to hit the proverbial fan when the masses realize this and I'm sure a few will be making some lawyers rub their hands... but I don't expect much, except maybe a small settlement and an asterick* clarification on the marketing info. Storage Manufacturers are still saying 1mb = 1000 bytes instead of 1024 bytes although they now clarify it after a big lawsuit. So, we'll still see octa-cores but manufacturers will say that just means 8 cores, not 8 cores all clocked at the same speed...

"I also have a tablet 4 with 4 cores crunching . I hope they do real work ;-]"


I was curious how the 4 core tablet was doing.
