I’ve reinstalled /e/ on my phone and find that since Signal and Telegram are no longer system apps, Signal suddenly uses a lot of battery. Always between 20 and 25% in total even on days when I don’t use it that much.
I use signal as my SMS client. Has anyone got a solution to that?
I’m not sure if this is really a solution, but I installed Accubattery to track my battery usage and it shows Signal as a pretty normal amount, very different from the high amount that my Android system reports.
Signal uses GCM to wake up the device with an empty push notification and the app then fetches the queued messages. In microG settings signal can be prevented from registering in GCM.
