Are you experiencing any noticeable battery drain? It's driving me crazy. Like i get that it's a 120hz display but it has no right to draw this much power

[–] SaraIsabella@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really, but then again I am using crDroid and microG. i used to have a crazy battery drain back when i was using gapps tho.

Hmm, gapps might be the leading cause, yes. Thanks!

Just to give you a bit more info. I am on 20% right now, with 7hrs 3 mins of screen on time. 1 day, 9hrs and 48 mins phone idle. not charging in between.

Before installing my current system I would be lucky to get the day, i would charge my phone every night.

microG has been a blessing, for me everything works (signal, whatsapp, banking apps) just as if i had gapps installed and the battery lasts roughly double.
