OBJECTIVE

Measure battery behavior across controlled phone-use periods and separate correlation from causation.

TIME PLAN

Prepare 20m · Build 110m · Verify 30m · Document 20m

Working boundary

Work only inside the folder created by Smartphone-Academy.py prepare battery-drain-evidence. Use the supplied samples, your own phone, or systems you are explicitly authorized to administer.

Prepare the Termux workspace

Open Termux in the Academy root and prepare this lab with the local companion. It creates safe samples, notes and evidence files under your Termux account.

Android + Termuxpython Smartphone-Academy.py prepare battery-drain-evidenceNo root. Keep the workspace under $HOME and avoid personal identifiers in evidence.

Practical mission

  1. Record battery level, temperature, screen state and network conditions
  2. Run two controlled usage periods with only one planned difference
  3. Compare Android battery statistics with your own timestamped notes
  4. Identify likely causes, alternative explanations and safe next tests
EVIDENCE TO PRODUCE

A battery investigation report with test conditions, observations and confidence limits.

Quality gate

The scope, date and tested device or workspace are clearly identified.
Every conclusion points to a command result, setting, source or measured observation.
Another learner can repeat the procedure without guessing hidden steps.
Limitations, uncertainty and any skipped checks are recorded honestly.

Analyst reflection

Which result from “Identify likely causes, alternative explanations and safe next tests” needs stronger evidence before it can support a real decision?

Complete in Termux

After checking the evidence, run python Smartphone-Academy.py complete battery-drain-evidence. Progress is stored locally in the Termux home directory.
