@ralf I tested on three Pixel 3a devices for one week. No active use. All background services turned off. Location services and Bluetooth also turned off. The same behavior occurred on every device. When I turn on Wi-Fi, power consumption increases dramatically. Without Wi-Fi: 1 to 2% per hour With Wi-Fi: 4 to 6% per hour

@nbdynl said: when driving the car hum, in my oountry thatt's 135 euros and 3 points deducted from the driving license. Android or IPhone or Linux phone don't make a difference. Only verbal commands can avoid the wrath from the men in blue. IIRC someone posted here about verbal commands in UT but it did not get much traction.

I use less then 100 files.

@shcarl276 said: I know that "some people have managed to install UT from Russia", but a functional system is characterized first of all by satisfying the needs of the overwhelming majority, not "some people". The fact that this technical issue can be discussed/addressed only in Telegram groups and not via normal Support (online forms) points to the fact that non-profit projects like Ubuntu Touch don't always stand up to the standards of commercial enterprises... A great many commercial companies offer their services only in a very limited part of the world, for example, only in the European Union and North America. A great many commercial companies take weeks or even months to respond to their customers’ support requests, and very often their response consists of pointing out that the requested service is not part of their contractual obligations, or of offering the service at a price that the customer cannot or will not pay. By comparison, the level of assistance provided by the community UBports over the past decade through various channels (Telegram, forums, Matrix) and in dozens of languages – in the absence of any commercial relationship and therefore outside any contractual obligation – strikes me as being of a very high standard in terms of relevance and effectiveness. And all this help is provided free of charge.

@nbdynl said: @brenno.almeida great work!only use your app now since it is fast smooth and reliable. only hickup, anyone else keeps missclicking the send button? its really hard to press for some reason (xiaomi redmi note 9 pro) I have this issue on the Quintus. Maybe the mouse area is too small?

Hi @danfro, I just wanted to point out that someone has to take on the task of porting it; it’s a huge undertaking, and there’s a chance it might not work out in the end. And, who here is willing to do the groundwork and look up the author’s questions? Greetings Mario

Just to clarify what the scaling governor is because there is some confusion that it magically improves battery life: The scaling governor (as I had already said in a post some years ago) essentially doesn't allow the CPU to increase its frequency and thus saves power. Note that performance doesn't scale linearly with frequency so the processor is most power efficient during low frequencies. However, while the device is idle, an optimized OS does many other things including changing the governor to save power like disabling the performance cores. So, any benefits should be observed only while using the phone, unless of course the port is not optimized at all.

@RJDan here is a link to the last (2023) post done by a NodeBB member about it.

@messayisto said: You can set this individually in Dekko -> options. Go to Identities -> Signature Thank you for the tip. And I realise that, using the method you’ve described, it can be done with Mailo, for example, which is an app available in the UT Open Store...

Sorry for bringing up a 4-year-old post. I tested three Pixel 3a devices (RC 1.3). I noticed exactly the same battery drain issues described here. Have any solutions been found for this yet?

@nbdynl Directly donating money is always an option but I did try this last year and I got very little engagement from the community. I had asked for a 'promise to donate' rather than sending the money to anyone so there was effectively no risk for the donors as they would donate to the winner directly. When I asked for people to dedicate time or effort to create a reward (images, logos, etc), I got much more engagement. This is great but it can't scale well if you want to get more than 5 people contributing to the reward.

@projectmoon exactly i dont mind confinement anymore as i used complain because i didnt understand now i do and i see ALOT of missing api thats why i made "workspace" --->still needs lots of testing but i have to say im not happy having to make a workaround solution ....as it kinda breaks the whole design point ..

Now the led notification issue has been resolved, it’s working 99% of the time… and this could be fixed on the device list for the OnePlus 5T Thanks to everyone who worked on this.

And once again updated the original post with new links. Squashed a few small bugs, such as the road/disaster problem and a top toolbar issue.

@arubislander That's the correct answer, I missed the fact that these modules may not only be completely disabled in a specific kernel, but also be built-in. In which case the desktop solution would do nothing
