Record snoring

Any free Android apps that record sleep talking or snoring? Tried Sleep
as Android but it drains the battery.

I found https://www.snorelab.com/; however, seems any app listening to
the mic all the time would have to keep the phone from sleeping.

Why can't you keep the phone plugged into the charger during the night?

That suggests some snoring apps. It also suggests "When using a snoring
app, you should plug it into a power source, recording all night could
drain your battery before the recording as finished."

How are you charging your phone's battery that cannot be done while you
are sleeping?

With Sleep as Android the phone was warm all the time at night
unplugged, dread to think what temperature it'll reach plugged in.

I sleep lying on my side and change at random during the night, easily
move the phone while half asleep, not so with a cable attached.

You have your phone and charging lead *in* bed? Why not on a bedside table?

"Do I Snore or Grind" by Sleep.ai. I leave it plugged in all night. It
works fine during the winter, but all it hears during the summer is the
fan in the window. I can't tell whether it's me or my husband, but it
picks up both of us :-(

No. I don't charge it at night and don't have a nightstand.

How old is the battery in the phone? Is it a replaceable battery?

The app will draw the same amount of power whether on battery or
charger. Go into the settings to look at Battery to see which apps suck
up the most power. Might not be the snoring app.

Put a short table next to the bed. If you don't have one, use a folding
chair. You can use self-stick velcro strips to keep the phone on the
table or chair. If you have a headboard, velcro the phone there. Don't
put the phone on the bed. Your tribulations are easily surmountable.

Hang it from the headboard. Stick-on wall hook. Force a cup or glass
between the mattress and the wall and put it in there. Try just putting
it on the floor.

3 years and no.

The charger will be charging up the battery as well as powering the app
that causes the heating. A app that is monitoring the mic and recording
to the internal storage shouldn't be drawing similar power as playing a
game or watching a HD movie with the screen on full brightness.

It was.

If the app uses a lot of power, prepare to wake up to a flat (or very low)
phone battery, and then to have to find time during the day when you can
charge it.

Is it safety that prevents you charging the phone during the only time it
will be guaranteed to be in one place - overnight? During the day you may be
moving about, even if you leave it on a desk to charge, and so there is the
risk (if your memory is anything like mine) of forgetting to pick it up
again if you go out or need it when you are away from wherever you charge
it.

I usually charge my phone in the late evening, between going to bed
(initially to read) and going to sleep. I then put it in the pocket of the
trousers I'll be wearing the following day so I know I'll have it with me.
If it's not charged by the time I go to sleep, I leave it out in the open
(on my bedside table) so that if it gets warm at least it's not insulated by
being in my pocket; I then put it in the trouser pocket if I wake up during
the night to go for a wee.

Not an issue here.

Actually, it is the same temp, unless you have a leaking battery.

Just connect it to the (slow) charger and go to sleep.
However, it is free only for a limited time, then you have to pay.

How about using a dedicated Android tablet
just for this one purpose? Some are very cheap
these days. I'm posting using a 7 incher I
got at Best Buy for $29 US (pre-virus)...

If the phone is/was warm, something must be wrong. I use(d) Sleep as
Android (with snoring detection, recording, etc.) on a charger and the
phone was never warm.

As others said, find the *cause* for the phone getting warm (and stop
rejecting all suggestions). Possible causes as mentioned: CPU-using
apps, bad battery, bad charger, etc..

Simple: Put the phone where it should be - next to your pillow - and
don't touch it, but (try to) sleep.

Voice Recorder, or whatever your default audio recording app is.

Just leave your phone plugged in, record the whole night and then look at
the waveform - easy to pick out the noisy bits.

Sleep as an Android recommends setting the phone on the bed, because it
registers vibrations with its location accelerometers, and thus
estimates the quality of your sleep.

Not a problem for me.

So it could be used too to measure the quality of your sex life. ;-)

If you change the logiciel, yes. As it is, no.

While, at times, for whatever reason, my Samsung Galaxy S3 used to get
burning hot, most phones, I would think, are _designed_ be charged and used
simultaneously, aren't they?

Has the OP clarified which Android phone he is asking us about?

[Dex]

Been trying Snorelabs. Pretty good so far, phone cold and only a ~5%
drop in battery life overnight.

No idea why SAA was drawing so much current, some other app or something
in the MIUI OS it didn't agree with.

I used that for a while, but then it only let me use it every other
night and then not at all without paying. It started working again on
the new phone. The curious thing is that while it shows sound for the
whole night it only has recordings for the first part.
