I think I am going to do a fresh install to version 20.04 instead of upgrading from 16.04 to 20.04.

I would like to share my experience with you and our friends in the Forum.

Yesterday I have to decided to do a small test just to know why battery is decreasing so quick. What I did is that I have chosen Cellular 2G instead of 2G/3G/4G, and kept monitoring the device. It seems that did not decrease quickly, very slow decrease.

Just to keep you on the picture, I only use it for calling and texting, not surfing the net, only open the net from time to time for updates.

Before I go to sleep I put it on Offline Mode.

So my suggestion that developers manage to enhance battery consumption while using 3G/4G networks cause I really do not have a clue when the country will shutdown 2G network.

Maybe @beyolf has some news...?

Indeed, the issue is not related to UBports but seems to affect some Curtana series, so I guess it's not easy for the porter to correctly identify the source of the problem.

Thanks for your reply, I own Google Pixel 3a XL and 20.04 OS version.

We shall see what tweaks and improvements coming in the near future.

Apart from that, I hope developers and porters will come up with a big tweak or figure out how to reduce battery consumption on our devices using UT OS.

Cause battery is draining faster than using it on Android OS. Even though do not use internet only calling and texting.

Do not know what seems to be juicing out the battery.

You posted your question in the Pixel 3a/3a XL sub-category, so I assume you're having issues with one of those model.

I have the Pixel 3a (non XL) and the vibration seems OK.
But to be honest I didn't use it with Xenial as I was waiting for 20.04 to go back to daily driving Ubuntu Touch since I let my Nexus 5 go...

Also 16.04 to 20.04 was not just a system update but a whole new port as far as I can tell (I hope I get this right :winking_face: ).
When OTA-6 will only bring system updates. Of course porters can add some fixes and tweaking but it has to be on their radar as device specific issue don't get fixes magically.

Some magic can happen when drivers are updated when using a newer halium version, but it can also be the other way around so it's rarely done as far as I can see.

UT from my POV is a promising OS and deserves to be evolved and 100% functioning well similar to Android and IOS.

I've heard there will be some changes that might fix vibration issues on some devices (which?) on next OTA-6 release.

Usually, on Android, when the phone is completely turned off, shortly after the charger is plugged in, you will hear a small vibration when it starts to charge. If this is so you can deduct it's not a hardware issue.
