No, and I never tried it on my phone. According to my friends their phone is getting hotter when they mine btc using it. I am very cautious and hesitant to try, I might damage my mobile phone and lost more money than mining it. Grin

Just like also laptop CPU mining, I will not recommend it. Its a waste of resources,time and effort.

Just hope your friend don't have Samsung note 7 mate 😂😂

Why wait for him when you could try it at home?

I think crypto mining on a phone is a good way to start a campfire...you'll also have to leave the phone plugged in.

Phone processors aren't tested at high temps for extensive periods of times. If they are nvidia unit's they're probably only tested from -38 to 140c

If you were to dismantle the phone and attach a heatsink/fan to the apu then maybe. Otherwise I give your phone a few days at most.

Maybe next Bear Grylls episode will start with a campfire started with a smartphone used for mining Wink

Mobile mining apps on play store? Did anybody tried it? Is it even worth it or not?
I tried minergate app and getting 8 h/s on bytecoin/xmr on my Motorola moto x. But the phone heats up and battery drain fast. Well I was just testing the app.

Somewhere I read Samsung s6 edge is giving 2m/h on scrypt algo? Is it even real?

What is your mining exp on mobile devices?
There are even bitcoin mining app on android lol cmon it gonna take ages to mine btc with android Cheesy

I think, the mobile mining is not profitable. The mobile gpu and cpu unit is too low, and It will overburn your mobile. It is not a good idea. Sad

Same, my mobile seem was getting cooked when I test the app
