Does your mobile phone battery run out on you often? Do you wish that your mobile applications were more energy efficient? Help researchers study energy consumption in your mobile phone (You need to be over 18 years of age, should have an Android phone, and optionally have a Mac computer).
Researchers in the computer science department at the University of Washington invite you to participate in a study focused on characterizing mobile usage behavior.
We will provide you with a $5 Amazon gift card for every week your participate, for a maximum of 2 months (i.e., for a total of $40).
The study requires that you download an application on your Android phone ( and optionally on your personal computer.) The application and the browser extension will log the battery levels as well as certain activities you perform. No personally identifiable data will be recorded. This includes the mobile phone number, the phone’s device ID the contacts on the phone, etc. The logged data will be encrypted and sent securely to a server. The data collected by the server cannot be linked to your computer or your phone.
