First impressions on V.1 - power consuption & battery heat

Yeah, but this doesn’t help if you have suddenly a problem and no solution for it.

I had an issue with the battery draining much faster than usual on a Redmi 8T, but this seems to have resolved itself now.

Overall, however, I am so happy with V.1, it’s a real step forward. So thank you very much to everyone who has worked on it.

Hi All,

Just want to share after updating to v1.0 the screen of my Samsung S9 is quite unresponsive.
It is hard to klick on things and to write text. The letter R is unclickable in portrait mode, in landscape it working. Sort of.
I’m on V1.0-20220527189323

So did you already reboot?

An advance on Reboot is to Power down, wait a while, Power on.

A troublesome item is Advanced privacy.

If you do not know you need it; switch it off.

Power down. Wait. Power on.

Does your issue persist?

Yes it does persist…
Advanced Privacy is and was disabled.
The earlier dev version had it too, but a few versions later it was better.

Battery problem started around version 0.19-0.20.

Today installed the update /e/OS 1.0-20220622198552.
As far I can see our phones are doing better now.
In a week a new message how things are working.

Last Update helps :slight_smile: Very Thanks :hugs:

Hello,
I’m using 1.0 on my Mi8 mobile. After the update with Advanced Privacy on I had massive power consumption. This was solved for me with deleting the cache from Bliss Launcher and removing the Orbot app. Since then it seems to have even a better power consumption than before the update.

Hello

V1.0.1 FP3. Bug call. People hears me very badly.
Other people involved ?

Have a good day.

Hi
Same problem on my Nord :confused:

With the last update, no problem when calling people on my FP3. But it is now impossible to share my connection… when i try to enable the wifi access point, a few second later, it will be disabled… Anyone has got this problem ?

I recently installed V1.0 on a Xiaomi Redmi note 9 pro to finally upgrade from my loyal workhorse Samsung S8 running eOS 0.9. So far haven’t noticed any big issues. Installing was nice and smooth. Hardware support and battery life is excellent. I can go a whole day of normal use and still have 20 to 30% at the end of the day (I’m not heavy on social media and I only have about 25 apps installed)
Screen reaction is nice and smooth, Apps start right away and switching between them is nice.
From all the apps I have installed only one didn’t work. The Ebay Kleinanzeigen which didn’t work before 1.0, is working as well (although it kind of freezes sometimes but it’s still usable). App Lounge kind of freezes sometimes too but i prefer to use the F-Droid/Aurora combo anyway so no big deal on this.
Advance Privacy looks like a very nice tool to stay off the radar. I’d like a feature where you can completelly cut internet access to individual apps though (like Netguard style)
Kudos and thank you eOS team, your hard work was worth it :+1: :smiley:

I installed 2 days ago V1.1 battery drains on my fairphone 4 in a few hours. Before I had to charge after 2-3 days. Yesterday it was on about 80% and today it was flat. After the update I saw that it used up 10% but I thought well I was listening to music for over an hour. But then again, it did not happen before the update.

And please STOP putting up your VPN as primary connection. If it is up and running one cant access nothing and people should decide themself if they want to use it or not. I deleted it on v1.0 and then it was back with v1.1

If you want to get this addressed, please see if a corresponding issue exists in the issue tracker to add your voice, or raise an issue … https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/?search=advanced%20privacy&sort=created_date&state=opened&first_page_size=20

I’m also on FP4 with V.1.1 and it works very well. No issue with the battery. So I think you should reboot (or reset?) your device. What Apps you are using? May be that one of them is badly configured?

I am sorry for what I am writing now but I am sick of people who asume things. Really? I reboot after every new update. I dont use any special apps. Just email, browser and emby. Emby only runs, when I use it. Bluetooth is turned off after I use my headphones. So next time if you want to give suggestion remind yourself, that I am not a 0815 user. The phone is now new recharged and we will see how it is tomorrow as I have not used it at all.

Yes, as long as most of us aren’t clairvoyant and somehow know info without it being given.

Clear the cache of your mainly used apps, especially of those apps who are listed as accu consumers. I repeat this every day because many mysterious problems solve themselves this way.

Indeed I ask myself why they don’t do this automatically during every OS update, clearing the cache of all apps, that should be easy.
