Battery draining after update to 24.04-1.2
-
After the update to 24.04-1.2 the phone from one and half to two days, without charge, now it hardly stays 12 hours.
This is way too low.
Can somebody help?

@smobilesoft Do you use one of the newer browsers, or any app that produces an X11 icon in the Dash?

I used top -o %CPU command, that suggested in another thread of the forum and I realize that whatsnew app which suppose to be the upgrade of whatsapp web app is consuming all the battery I am just waiting to test it for a full day and I will let you know tomorrow.PS yes the icon of the new app is X11 icon.

@smobilesoft, the issue is that those apps keep running in the background and are not properly suspended when no longer in the foreground. They even keep running when the screen is off.
Normally apps are suspended when they don't have focus, or the screen is turned off, which helps conserve battery.
Although, to be fair the creator of the WhatsNew app has taken measure to suspend the app when it looses focus as well. So something else must be going on there.

thanks for the time, it was the app at the end of the day but something went wrong with it.

I've not done that specifically in whatsnew. What happens is that normally when an electron app is not anymore in foreground it goes into a "throttling" mode meant to keep operating the website but with lower resources. This is a feature from chromium.
That being said I have no idea why XWayland/electron apps don't get suspended by default. For Signal UT or Whatsnew it is handy to get background notifications though.
The behaviour encountered by @smobilesoft (high CPU usage) is not normal , I've not been able to observe it myself, and it seems since he reinstalled the app it has gone. So this is a bit strange.
