One day, I have to know if there is reset with my smartphone, how many time per day. Also, it was to check during standby mode.
I found that for each reset, the phone restart and the screen+backlight switch on.
After testing several different idea, I choose a very simple but working way:
- Take an empty box like shoes box
- Put the phone on one side of the box, internal, vertical
- Front of the phone, on the other internal side of the box, an USB webcam
- Close the box
- Launch on the PC a webcam SW with movement detection
- Select video 10 sec for each movement detection.
- Wait, days and night. Then, on the PC, each time the screen is light on, we have a video. We can check if it is reset or some other events.
I use it successfully for many products.
