Hi all,

Since a short while (maybe unrelated, but it could very well be since OTA12) battery life seems much shorter than it used to be. Yesterday evening it was 55%, this morning almost empty. Wifi was off, phone wasn't used during the night. In the background a terminal and Sturm Reader were running. I don't know if ubports has a way to see the battery usage per app.

Could be that the battery is getting old, but I never noticed this before. The graphic show a steady decline during the night. This also happens whenever the phone isn't used. I haven't tested yet what happens when nothing is running, or how long it takes for a full battery to get empty. Does this look familiar, anyone has the same issue?

TIA,

Joolz.

I have reported the issue https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/issues/70

Thanks, @advocatux I subscribed to the issues, hope they get resolved some day.

@Flohack : WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini, but probably the wrong one. I just found this thread https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/995 and followed your directions there, copied the ini file mentioned there and generated a random MAC address. After a restart, the SIM password would be asked very shortly (gone before I could type the code) but, wifi would see the available networks, but not connect to any, probably because I copied in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/* from my old phone. I removed these, another reboot and I could punch in the SIM code and wifi networks were visible! No time to connect now (I'm at workplace) but I think this was it, thanks! \o/

Another (unrelated) question: can I copy in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/* from my old phone? That would spare me a lot of copy/pasting passwords...

Connected!

Have you tried this one? https://gist.github.com/tuzhucheng/b99cdab71c28d92dd1358e11d6af9f5e

I have OTA-22 running for a few days now (on OPO Bacon) and so far battery life appears to be much better than it used to be. Thanks!

@marius-ciclistu I don't know the code, but it looks like it has been moved to gitlab https://gitlab.com/ubports/apps/camera-app

Thanks for the tip! After following the instructions and a reboot, I get

This probably means ip6 is still on, is that correct? I have no time to check the traffic now, but will keep an eye on power consumption.

@Flohack that was it! After disabling ip6 and normal usage (about an hour on wifi, few calls, the rest of the time idling) and no charging, it went from 100% to 60% battery in a bit less than 24 hours which looks like what it did before OTA12.

Solved, thank you!

The problem of overconsumption is not related to OTA 12 (unless the problem has been amplified).

My experience with overconsumption (shortened...) and remedies :

The first indicator for OPO that will identify over-consumption of energy is for example when you switch it on and you find that it stays warm without using it because :
In the OPO if certain 'bad' (race) conditions are met the phone will start up badly. You can see that, :

• the Bluetooth is switched on without having asked for it;
• an absence of the wifi button seen by scrolling through the indicators menu;
• the wifi button is ON (green) whereas it had been closed before switching off the phone...

What I advise: after an abnormal start of the phone, close everything that shouldn't be turned on, and restart the phone. Then re-check that everything seems OK. If necessary restart the phone again...

A phone that is switched on and not in use should not be hot. This is what happens to me with the OPO when it is working normally.

Hi @domubpkm,

I assume that when Bluetooth, Wifi etc. are onasked on, the indicators in the top of the screen will say they're on, is that correct?

The phone gets drained with everything off (airplane mode on, all indicators off) without getting warm. It might not be OTA12 related, but it's been happening since I upgraded.

Best,

Joolz.

I'm starting to think that the device simply has a battery that's not too great. I've ordered a fresh one and will report back.

@Moem thanks for keeping us posted. This might rule out the hardware, although I don't think it's that. Seems that too many people are having this after the upgrade.

@Keneda said in short battery life on OPO (Bacon) with OTA12:

Did you try switching network from 4G to 3G?
My phone last more than 48hrs iddle in 3G, no more than 24hrs iddle in 4G (MX4).

@Keneda I did even better than that , I switched to airplane mode. Still whole lotta draining going on.

@Lakotaubp said in short battery life on OPO (Bacon) with OTA12:

You could try moving to RC channel in System settings, updates, update settings and see if there is an improvement or even Dev. You can always move back again when you want.

Thanks @Lakotaubp. I will think about it, this is my main (and only) phone

Last night did another check: 23:00, I put the phone into airplane mode, no apps running except a terminal (with nothing running in it. It's just a habit to always have one at hand), battery percentage 38%. That night at 4:30 I got a low battery alarm signal, so that's 5.5 hours of doing nothing to use up about 1/3 of the battery.
