Battery Optimisation #1821
Comments
Potentially related: #1081 |
On my Pixel7 running the latest build of GrapheneOS, simplex is using 19℅ of my battery with a silent notification in the background. No other apps using the same notification technique use anything near this amount of battery. The kicker is I don't even really use the app. I'm uninstalling until a fix is applied. |
@xmready have you tried the periodically setting in notification service? I'm also running an up-to-date GrapheneOS with mentioned setting and SimpleX has 1% in the battery usage overview. |
I was using all default settings. I think out of the box settings should be sane and battery efficient without tinkering. Since uninstalling, my battery life is incredibility better. |
Yeah , but it can take 20 minutes to see a message this way. I can't switch my family to it like that |
Switched on always notfiy, 20% battery drain without a single notification (GrapheneOS Pixel 7) |
It looks like that huge battery drain is only existent in combination with GrapheneOS, any devs using GOS? |
Even Signal with websocket shows 4% for me even though it pings server every minute iirc. So definitely Simplex needs a huge improvement to be usable. |
@theAkito you don't think so? |
Was too lazy to explain at the time, so I just left that mark to signal, that this shouldn't be related to GrapheneOS, or at least not exclusively to it. For example, I never used GrapheneOS yet and, as far as I remember, when looking through issues, there are plenty of users using "normal" Android operating systems and they experience the same issue. |
I have it on my GOS phone as well, but my wife's Samsung has the same issue with One UI. Her old iphone doesn't. Seems to be Android |
💡An idea to reduce traffic and battery consumption: in groups, limit people in the group, for example, if a person has not appeared in the group (has not opened this group for 1 month (the admin can set 1 month, 2, 3, 6), then he is excluded from the group. |
In general a good point, but I had the extreme battery consumption also in an test-setup without any groups... |
in v5.8 an improvement was added: if user's message queue is full, there will be no more attempts made to send messages |
It seems like this app has a lot of "baby is trying to walk" issues.
Battery is one huge aspect. I have seen issues & comments here & there, but no explicit issue, summarising the whole battery problem, which is currently really huge in this app.
