[Mobile] Valent Drains Battery Rapidly

Saroufim opened this issue · comments

Current Behavior

On OnePlus 6T with postmarketOS 22.12 Valent drains the battery rapidly (down by around 8 hours) when it is installed and active.

Expected Behavior

Valent to have little to no battery impact as KDE Connect does on Android. Admittedly, I have not tested KDE Connect itself on Mobile Linux.

Could you provide more details about your usage?

I'm running Valent on a oneplus6 and can't reproduce high battery drain.

Whether connected to another client or not, the battery drain is there and noticeable. I usually get around 21-22 hours of battery life of my phone but with Valent present I get 14-15 hours. I have tested this twice. Once I installed Valent without connecting it and the other time (yesterday) by connecting it to Valent on Fedora Silverblue. Both times the battery drain was there.

Sorry, without more information to narrow it down there's not much hope of fixing this. We'll have to wait for more reporters to come forward.
