Hey everyone, first I'm not really sure if this belongs in a Tasker forums. Seeing as I use a N5, I figured it could also go here. Anyway, I've been having some problems with Npl wakelocks. I downloaded wakelock terminator with xposed and it seemed to have helped, however something didn't seem right as my battery was draining the same amount as when the wakelocks were happening. The only time I wasn't having the drain was when location was set to device only, which makes sense.
I'm completely new to tasker. I've watched a few tutorials and I've messed around with it a bit but with not much luck. I wanted to do one of two things. Either have location set to battery saver/high accuracy when the screen is on, and have it set to device only when the screen is off. Another option is to have it set to battery saver/high accuracy when google now/maps is open and device only the rest of the time. I feel like this shouldn't be that hard but I messed around with it and got no where. Anyway, what are your guys' opinion about this strategy and would anyone be able to help me with implementing these tasks. Thanks!
I wouldn't go the route of using tasker for your problem. And I would ditch that xposed module for wakelocks too. I run rooted with xposed on high accuracy at all times. My battery life is great. You need to find the source of your battery drain and eliminate it. Don't look for a bandaid fix using tasker. My guess is you have some rogue app killing your battery. Give us a list of all your apps, or delete them all, and install them one by one to track down the culprit. Also, are you running stock Rom and kernel? What other mods do you have?

I can run the phone as normal today with location and everything on and post my BBS log after. Basically, when I'm at home the battery is great. However, ever since updating to the new google search app I've been having extreme wakelocks from the Npl whenever I would leave my house. Which is why I found a thread on xda that was talking about that exact wakelock. You're right though. I'm going to get rid of the app because it seemed weird. The wakelocks weren't showing up on BBS but I feel like it didn't get rid of them. Who knows though, maybe you're right and it is something else that's draining the battery which is why the wakelock app didn't help.
Anyway, I'm running stock ROM/kernel with xposed. I use greenify module, appOpsX, snapshare, gravity box, and gesture navigation module. With gravity box I just use custom quick settings, smaller nav bars, some status bar mods like the day and double tap to sleep. However, again I have had the same GB mods since before the drain. I use a pebble however I've never had a drain from that and I've been using it since Dec. Most of my apps are greenified including facebook, instagram, as well as all my music streaming apps. A lot of the google services I don't use are disabled like books/magazines/movies. I have snapchat, but I don't use it too much, and facebook messenger that I don't greenify. When I check GSam stats though, android system and kernel take the most battery, followed by music players if I was streaming music that day. The rest of the apps are way down the list.
I posted in the battery thread asking if anyone had the same problem with the wakelocks after having the latest google play services. I noticed mine is still 4.3 for some reason so I might just update manually from androidpolice and see if theres a difference. But yeah, I will keep this updated with todays logs.
Try this. Use titanium backup to uninstall Google play services and Google search. Then launch maps, and reinstall both from the play store.

This is what I ended up doing. You will need the secure settings plugin for tasker.
Set up a new profile for application "Maps".
When on, launch task GPS On (Secure settings, configuration GPS enabled)
Exit task, launch task GPS On (Secure settings, configuration GPS disabled)
I used the app factory to create an app for this, and use that on my N5 and my second phone too. Works great. Enables GPS when I launch Maps for navigation, and switches to battery saving when I exit Maps

Just run device only all the time, like everyone else does. It's a problem with Google's code, and the same bad coding is clearly seen throughout their entire app lineup.

Thanks! So, how would I set this up using device only/high accuracy? I'm also super new to tasker so if you don't mind I might PM you asking for help.

Well, I actually like to use maps and google now. However, I don't actually need the location on when I'm not using either of the two services which is why I wanted to setup tasker.
It'll change them from being system apps to user apps. This has solved nlp wakelocks for many others experiencing the same problems.

Sure.
It isn't that hard - install the secure settings plug in first, and when prompted, give it Superuser access. Then, create a new profile in tasker - call it whatever you want. Set up the profile for the application "Maps"
When Maps is launched, set it up to fire a new task (I called it GPS On) - this task just enables the GPS setting in the secure settings (under third party plugins)
GPS on -> high accuracy
GPS off -> battery saving mode
Set up an exit task (I called it GPS Off) - this turns the GPS settings in the secure settings off.
I can send you the apk if you want (but you don't really know me, so you probably shouldn't use an apk from a stranger! lol!), or you can try to import this attached xml into tasker (rename the file to remove the .txt extension - filename will be AutoGPS.prj.xml) - the xml option should be safe.
I haven't tried importing an xml, but it should be fairly straightforward (Save profiles in /sdcard/tasker/profiles and then, in tasker, long press the profiles "tab" and "import"). Before doing this, backup your existing profiles in tasker, just in case. Also, make sure you have secure settings set up before you import this.

Cool, thanks I will give it a try. And it would be the same if I want to have location on when using google search/now?

Yes, it should be. But in my experience, I haven't found Google Search/Now really requiring high accuracy GPS level location for any of the features yet. It gets by fine with just battery saving mode. So, I only enabled this for the Maps application.
Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know how you'd enable it for Google Now - since it runs in the background to notify you about upcoming events. Since you aren't launching Google Now most of the times, I don't know how you'd set up Tasker to enable the high accuracy GPS for that (and it is possible that Google now using active GPS may be part of the battery drain issue - I don't know for sure)

I actually wanted to keep the device on "device only" location instead of battery saving. For Google now I wanted the traffic card, but I would only need it if I physically open google now. I don't really need the notification.

To keep device only, you should use Location mode (in secure settings) and set it to Device only or whatever you need, instead of GPS.
Note that "Device only" still uses active GPS and "This mode may use more battery power and take longer to determine your location" (Ref: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/3467281?hl=en)
The traffic card still works on "battery saving" because it uses cellphone triangulation, and shows you the traffic in your vicinity, and based on your destination.

I know, I have always used battery saving. The problem is that with battery saving, I'm having these extreme wakelocks and Google is constantly searching for my location which is what I think is the cause of the drain I'm having. I'm going to use my phone today by just using device-only location and see how the battery lasts. It should be much better since I'm hoping the phone will be deep sleeping longer. Basically, when I take my phone off the charger in the morning and I'm still at home for the first 2 hours of the day the standby time is great. It usually goes down 1-2% in those 2 hours even if I use the phone a little. However, once I leave the house is when I get constant wakelocks from location services and the battery stats to deplete a lot faster. I mean, I can still get through a day just because I don't use the screen a lot. I tend to only use about 1 hr 30 min on a regular day but I just want to play around with settings to see what works.If I can get the same standby time throughout the day that I get within the first two hours when im at home that would be great.

That's strange. With battery saving mode, I get no wakelocks, which with device only or high accuracy, I used to get a lot of wakelocks by the location services.
But yes, no harm in trying out the options. Tasker+secure settings should be able to set up the battery saving or device only (as described above)

You get Npl wakelocks? So far I haven't gotten it and that's the wakelock that usually keeps my phone awake for 2 hours or so. basically, I think the way it works is that the device only setting uses more battery when using apps that use location such as maps but when the apps are not in use it uses no battery on location.

No. Ever since I switched to battery saving (and tasker toggling to high accuracy when I use maps), I have no location based wakelocks (no NPL wakelocks)

Interesting, I've been having the opposite. I even took a screen shot of the wakelocks on the stock battery app where when the screen is off there's a huge amount of individual lines for awake (of course this is backed up by BBS). However when using device only the awake and screen on match almost perfectly.

Not sure why the difference, but regardless, as long as the individual 'fix' works, that's all that matters
Please read the following before installing the app:
This app requires a rooted mobile (Android 4.0 or later)
Before uninstalling the app, disable limit in the app (if forgotten, reboot after uninstalling)
Usage instructions and app details:
Enable limit in the app
Change the limit up to which it should charge (default: 80)
Check which control file suits best for your device, see Q/A section below for hints. In most cases, the pre-selected choice should be the best that's available for your device.
The app only gets kicked in while you connect a charger (or USB), and automatically closes shortly after unplugging charger (or USB) i.e it only runs in the background as long as it is plugged in, and won't affect your battery life.
If your device is not charging even after disabling the limit (which shouldn't happen, just in case), uninstall the app and reboot the device (The changes made by the app don't survive a reboot). Your device should charge normally then.
If the app says "your device is not yet supported"
There are various control files in different devices (due to OEMs), and toggling the values in them (0 and 1) makes it possible to enable and disable charging via software (might not be possible for every device), though the charging cable is still physically connected.
Since we cannot own every device, it is impossible for us to find every file. We can support a lot more devices with information provided by testing possible files on different devices by you, the people in the community.
Hence, for support to be provided to other devices, you need to do some detective work to find the files on the respective devices. Please refer to this file for control files of currently supported devices, so you can know where they are generally present: https://github.com/sriharshaarangi/BatteryChargeLimit/blob/master/app/src/main/res/raw/control_files.json
You can send us a pull request or open an issue on GitHub. If necessary, you can also post the name of the device and the file here.
FAQ
Q) Can you please add support for... (insert arbitrary device name here)?
A) Maybe, but we need your help. Bottom line, this app does nothing but modifying the content of a certain "control file", some more details are given above. If you find such a control file for your device, please let us know (ideally, open a GitHub issue here: https://github.com/sriharshaarangi/BatteryChargeLimit/issues) and we will add support for your device.
Q) I think I observed a bug. Can you fix it?
A) We'll do our best, but we need your help: Please open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/sriharshaarangi/BatteryChargeLimit/issues) and provide as much information as possible about the problem.
In most cases, we need the "logcat" logs of your device to find out about the exact issue. In order to provide those, you could use aLogcat (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rs.pedjaapps.alogcatroot.app).
FOR CHARGING-RELATED ISSUES: Select the "Time" format in the preferences of aLogcat, so we can see precise timings, and filter for "(Charging|Power) State" with "Apply as regular expression" ticked.
FOR CRASHES: Please also select the "Time" format and provide unfiltered logcat data that includes the stack trace of the crash.
Q) Why do you want to limit charge to a lower capacity?
A) In short, to prolong battery life in long term usage. For more information, refer this : http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
Q) How does this app work? Does it modify something in the ROM/Kernel to stop charging?
A) It writes "0" or "1" to a control file that represents some state of the power supply hardware, as simple as that. The file is normally read-only, so you need root to overwrite it.
The change might be automatically reversed by the OS if the power supply situation changes. Anyway, it should never survive a reboot of the device.
Q) I can select multiple more than one control file in the radio group. Which one should I use?
A) For most devices, battery_charging_enabled or store_mode are preferable. Try those first and see if it works. If you observe any bugs, try another file.
Q) I have a OnePlus device, and the app doesn't work correctly for me. What to do?
A) Check that the control file you selected is NOT battery_charging_enabled! Although it should be preferred in general, there are known issues for this file with OnePlus devices.
Q) I use the store_mode on a Samsung device. My device always stops charging at 70 % (or other specific percentage), no matter what limit I have set.
A) The store_mode implementation differs among the supported (Samsung) devices.
Normally, it freezes the level at the current percentage when store_mode is triggered until the cable is unplugged for some seconds. This is a normal condition due to Samsung's kernel implementation, it's not a bug of this app.
If this is a problem for you, try to switch to another control file (e.g. batt_slate_mode), if supported.
Q) How does the "automatic stats reset" work?
A) The automatic reset should perform a stats reset when your power supply is removed while the battery level is within the desired range. Everything else is wrong behavior.
Q) No matter if I the "automatic stats reset" is enabled or not, my phone is always resetting my battery statistics. Why?
A) Are you using a threshold above 90%? If yes, your ROM will most likely clear the stats when the power is removed. There is nothing we can do about that.

I can't believe it. You can't imagine how long I was looking for such an app .
Will try it!
I remember this was a feature that some kernels had years ago, and I would limit the charge to 85%. On my laptop I can cap it to 60%, which is great because I leave the charger in often.
Anyway, thank you for making this app!

Unfortunately it does not work as it should :/. It doesn't really limit. Even when I unplug the notification doesn't go away as you mentioned.

Does the battery percentage continue to rise beyond the limit? Regarding notification, it doesn't immediately go away after unplugging. It goes away after the percentage drops 3% below the limit. It is to ensure that the phone again charges to the limit if the phone is still plugged in. If it is not plugged in, then notification closes.
very good idea, thanks for app, was looking for app like this for a long time will report in half hour if app works
thanks!I always was searching such an app cause:
1)I read if u charge your battery till 80% it will last more time..
2)At the end of the day,I always have 40% battery left and I cant trust my phone for the next day without charge.
Thanks again It works on my moto x play!It stopped at 79% but its ok not such a big deal!
ok, so it worked, but first time, when i unpluged and pluged app didn't noticed pluging and continued charging. after that i tried several times and it worked again. so there should be somewhere bug in monitoring pluging charger sometimes is left unnoticed.

Seems to work on my LeEco Pro 3. Charging icon switched to normal battery at 80%.
This is what I have been looking for!
Thank you for the app!
I tried it and its stop charging after 95% ?
Im on xperia z5 Nougat.
But the notification doesnt go away when I unplug the charger's cable from the phone.
Turning off the app but did make the notification disappear.
Another question.
Does it really stop the charger from giving electricity to our phone?
Or does it only change the charging status?
Im scared that the app tells that it stopped charging, but the electricity is still going on.

Can somebody explain to me, why someone would want to limit the charging current?

1. Regarding notification, (I have updated the OP as well):
The app only gets kicked in while you connect a charger (or USB), and automatically closes shortly after unplugging (not immediate, it closes after percentage drops more than 3% below the limit because the app doesn't know whether the cable is physically connected or not, since we disable charging at the limit. So, after it drops below 3% and (a)the charger is still connected, it charges again to the limit, and (b)if it is disconnected, then the notification closes) .
So, it is not a bug.
2. Does it really stop the charger from giving electricity to our phone?
It actually stops charging at the limit. It is in the same way any phone automatically stops charging when the battery reaches 100% capacity.

Is it possible that some kernels aren't compatible with this, or even certain SoCs? I have a Kindle Fire with a mediatek, so I'll test the app on there later.

I don't know the reason(I don't think this is kernel dependent), but this file is the key: /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled
It should be 1 by default. And when it reaches the limit, the value is made 0 by the app.

So I've been browsing for the past 2 hours on wifi and these are my stats.
Battery: 2200 mAh
SoC: Extremely Power Hungry MT6591
Brightness: Adequate
Now at 35%, the phone was being used pretty much constantly (chrome, a movie in mx player, imgur, 2 hours on whatsapp, light CoC)
Here are the results.
19%. And this is the max I could manage. Going to plugin now.
Testing out now...Thanks!!

Blue Blood Modified Battery Profile (SOT) for L Speed + GovTuner
NOTE: This profile and the configurations for GovTuner is entirely based upon the need for more SOT or 'screen-on-time'. Performance improvements are not the 'primary' objective, but there are some.
Name: Sorry but I couldn't make up a better one. LOL.
This profile will try its best to give you a better screen on time taking into consideration there will be some decrease in performance (some visible, some not).
Installation Instructions
Part 1 - L Speed
1. Download the .zip file attached.
2. Open it with any file manager/archiver and you should see the profile file.
3. Goto your SD Card -> LSpeedBackup (create folder if it doesn't exist) and paste the file inside the .zip there.
4. Open L Speed -> Backup -> Restore: Blue Blood.
L Speed's done.
Part 2 - GovTuner
1. Visit GovTuner's XDA thread and download the latest zip file.
2. Flash the zip file and install 'Terminal Emulator' from playstore.
3. Open 'Terminal Emulator', and type 'su' and enter. Grant the SuperSU request and you will now be in a root shell.
4. Now type 'govtuner' and enter.
5. Choose battery profile by typing '1' and touching enter.
6. After activating battery profile, enter 'i' and enter '2' as the value.
7. Now you can press the 'X' on the top right hand corner to close the window.
GovTuner is now all setup.
You are pretty much ready now. Enjoy your extra SOT!!
I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND USING AppOpsXposed, Greenify, Amplify and Powernap with this to get rid of the idle drain because in the end that too translate to a better SOT. :highfive: (The below results are obtained with the help of those applications too)
My phone which is an extremely battery hungry thing needs to be charged atleast 3 times a day to last from morning to night. With this I've managed to get away with just 1 charge for 14 hours (4-4.5 hours of SOT vs 1-2 hours).
Please do reply back with your experiences. I'm waiting for some happy faces. :fingers-crossed:
Also criticisms. :angel:

Hey, thanks for sharing this! Much needed for my phone htc desire 816 (a5dwg) running lineage 7.1.1 and at any rom, it is hungry. I mean literally I've purchased a new original 2600mAh battery for this reason. Still the problem persists. Today only, I've charged the phone to full and kept it on airplane and silent (took the phone to school ), and found that after 3 hours, battery is 20-25% reduced. I'm a little noob that's why I'm asking you that "what are the steps that should be followed / apps to be installed to maintain the battery like yours
Thanks in advance ?

Glad I can help. Something is keeping your phone awake all that time that its's not going to deep sleep. That's mostly Google to blame but let's start with the basics
Before that don't call yourself a noob. You got a custom ROM running, most people I know can't even do that.
To fix Idle Drain
First find if you have Idle drain.
Install Better Battery Stats and open it, grant root etc. Now plug the phone to the charger and hit refresh. Now unplug the charger, turn the screen off for a minute or so.
Now turn it on, you should see the device state. If it says Deep Sleep 0%, then the below things can help you.
Disable background Wi-Fi scanning.
Your phone scans for WiFi even when you turn it off. The steps below are based on my Lollipop 5.1, but I believe it's the same on 7.1 too.
Goto Settings -> Wifi -> The three buttons on the top right -> Advanced
There disable 'Network Notifications', 'Scanning Always Available' and 'Keep Wifi awake during sleep'.
Greenify
You must already be using this.
As a rule of thumb, greenify any app which requires an internet connection, those keep waking the system over and over again. Just make sure you don't add any core system apps.
If you have Facebook's app installed, remove it. It's the biggest battery hogging app ever happened (i don't agree that's made) in human history. Use it in chrome. Or any wrapper apps from Play store: Metal, Friendly are a few options.
If you have xposed installed,
Powernap
Set it to endurance mode and that's all. Whitelist amplify, greenify and lspeed. You can whitelist more apps later if you feel the need.
Amplify
This is a must in reducing wakelocks. Unfortunately I can't write the whole procedure here because it's been done before. Check this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Still, every phone is unique. After following that thread, IF your device still isn't sleeping (after trying the below too), try blocking more wakelocks. Do a search if you are not sure of a particular wakelock. It will take some time, but it will be worth it.
AppOpsXposed
You can disable some of Google's data collection and analytics whatever stuff using this. Follow this nice thread. It helps massively.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/existenz-hacks-tweaks-battery-life-t3516705
If you have managed to get that deep sleep in BetterBatteryStats almost 90% of the time the screen was off, then congratulations you have fixed your Idle drain.

Battery droppes from 100 to 83 in 30-35 minutes
in govtuner change the gov to ondemand, i guess u use perfomance.
What can I do, I got a notification that L speed us eating my battery...but if optimized will not work as it should right?
Today update my Rom and got error. Not working because if use 3th party kernel ini.t emulator...but I'm not using one.

Both are the same. See post #2 of GovTuner's official thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...mod-gov-tuner-project-29th-june-2016-t3407828
But don't enable both of them at the same time.
After 1 whole month of tweaking with various functions of L Speed, finally found a combination to improve the battery even more.

I recently bought an S10e. Lots of improvements over my S7 - but I'm finding Android 10 to be very unstable. About once a day it gets into a mode where apps keep crashing and reopening.
I have turned off all the power management features I can find, but this still happens. Rebooting fixes the problem for a while (i.e. a matter of hours through a day or so).
The phone is an SM-G970W with the 1 Feb 2020 update (G970WVLS3CTA3).
Has anyone else encountered this kind of problem?
- richard
I have the same build and model with the same security patch update for Feb 2020. No issues here just waiting on one UI 2.1 is all. It's a pretty rocking phone.
Cheers
@Blandhotauce - Thanks - you give me hope that I can resolve this! I have reset the phone and am installing apps from scratch, rather than use Smart Switch (as I did the first time around).
Do you use any apps that require special permissions, such as AccuBattery or GSam? I had both installed before, and I'm wondering whether that may have led to the instability.

No I didn't use any apps like that. I use that standard array of Google and Samsung apps. Messages, gallery, pretty vanilla stuff.
Not many third party apps so that could be a reason. I have, however, installed an IPTV APK.
@Blandhotauce - Do you have any of the battery saving features turned on, such as
- Adaptive power saving
- Adaptive battery
- Put unused apps to sleep
- Auto optimization
- Optimize settings
Thanks

Under battery in device care I have power mode set to optimize. But adaptive power saving is not on.
Under app power management right below the power mode option I have both the adaptive battery option and put unused apps to sleep selected on.
That's pretty much it. I have a young family so that keeps me busy. I wouldnt say I'm a power user or anything like that but I watch YouTube and read a ton of articles and respond to emails throughout the day. I also make use of WhatsApp and Google duo video calls during this period of self isolation.
With that said, I get pretty much a full day of use out of it. By the time the kids are in bed and I'm ready to call it a day I'm at around 20- 30 percent.
Is the phone perfect? No, but I like the smallish form factor with the really decent specs. I expect to use this device for at least another 3 years. I've even prepared to replace the battery when it starts to become sluggish. There's helpful YouTube videos on what tools and methods are required for a battery replacement. Just can't find a modern phone in this form factor anymore.

I don't understand this feature at all. After reading this article http://www.xperiablog.net/2020/06/01/xperia-1-iis-hs-power-control-feature-bypasses-battery-charging-to-maximise-gaming-performance/ I thought it will allow me to play games for as long as I want without depleting the battery. I've tried charging with this feature turned on 2 times now, and both times the battery level was dropping., so where's that battery degradation reduction they write about?
Furthermore, H.S. power control supposedly prevents the battery from charging, but during both tests, Franko Kernel Manager was showing that the battery was charging, not in a usual way though. Speed was going back and forth between charging rapidly (as fast as 6000 mA) and charging slowly (as slow as 12 mA).
"Limits performance reduction and battery degradation caused by device overheating during charging. The battery doesn't get charged when this feature is on. Turn off this feature when charging". So you launch a game, go through the game enhancer's features, and see this confusing AF wording, which tells you the feature prevents overheating while charging and gaming, but at the same time tells you not to turn it on while charging and gaming.
I use this feature when navigating. I was happy that it's not only available for games. Worked well. At least battery level didn't changed after some hour drive. Didn't checked it with Franco kernel Manager.
You selected the App and the colored bar appeared when App was in use?

I've spent quite some time on customizing the phone, installing apps etc. so I'd rather not start all over again. Unless there won't be any custom ROMs for a very long time...
it is a bug. if you still have problem. or other people have a problem there a way to fix it without factory reset. if your phone running android 12 or android 11. BUT not lasted firmware(of the android version.). try to download lasted version of Game enhancer(i recommended version 7.x.x instead version 8.x.x, because it more stable on 7, but if you rooted or can install subsystem apk, you can go with lasted version and i more recommended to do so to get more feature), subsystem and monitor apk from apkmirror, dont worry all app have same Game enhancer logo. if you have android lasted android 11 or android 12 firmware, only download Game enhancer and monitor app, as subsystem has been set to persistent app. and cannot be updated. if you are rooted download all app i mention and install as system app then reset your phone. im using xperia 1 ii with version 7.0.A.1.20 game enchaner as my original version came with my firmware have bug and H.S does not work as intended. whoever updated it does fix the problem(you can see with most battery monitor app that charging switch from -x/+x to null or 0) whoever not installing subsystem and lasted monitoring app from cause :
1.powersaver or balance does not effect anymore(but switch to Power save allow phone to use 600-700mah more often, and performance while have same usage sometimes spike to 1000mah sadly the display stay at 60hz, this is not intended as using original app power are limitied to 400-650 while average around 480mah with 40hz display)
2.while congrats you can streaming from you phone now, unless subsystem installed you may only have 1 chance to screenshot thumbnail until you reset user data. as importing image or re screenshot not working without newer subsystem. but at least all stream function working fine as i test it for 1 hours nonstop(just make use you have atleast 20-30mbps UPLOAD as lower than that cause stuttering on youtube even on 480p stream)
3.it may or may not disable/bypass thermal throttling while gaming(cant confirm but on my phone using original apk will give me around 280gips max then down to around 160 or 180gips under 5 minutes while using update version will stay more than 300gips, on CPU Thrttling, same as 3d mark, while normal benchmark average, extended test will have better result than most xperia on same model with 99.5% stability and score around 1108 to 1106 from loop 1 to loop 4 with identical performance range from loop 1 to loop 20)
4.recording no longer work on sdcard as they change folder name and older subsystem still using older name, it just keep asking permission
5.on stream and record menu. there option for capture card. it does nothing, even installing another backend app. like audio app from G.E and other app, it still wont work, unless you are rooted and install all backend app as system app, whoever fearnot, you stil can stream your content via type c to hdmi like normal, but dont except you can get audio bypass or settings like xperia 1 IV have,
*again point 3 is unclear as for me performance from older bencmark are deference than now, but it is from era android 11, i can be sony fix thermal issue and performance from firmware and not this trick, but it does effect mine since i can just remove update and see instantly the deference and it may can on your xperia too
*i said both monitoring/monitor app and subsystem app. because it called that but apk file name uploaded as sony multitasking function and GE subsystem
here a proof for point number 3, and not it not with any mod(no fan cooler but no case either with H.S enabled)
Hello,
You can add custom apps to H.S. Power Control right?
Only supported apps or ALL apps installed?
Does that also work if you turn the screen off? or does the phone start charging as soon you you turn the screen off?
