Background monitoring eats a lot of battery #249

Closed lopei closed 6 years ago

Hello guys. In my project we are doing 24/7 background monitoring and the GPS eats almost all the battery power. Is there a way to reduce battery usage? Background monitoring period is currently 15 seconds and sleep period is 5 minutes

I encourage you to try our new ProximitySDK 🚀 - it is dedicated for creating proximity interactions with our beacons - its main focus is to deliver the reliable enter/exit experience according to a different zones of beacons, based on our own data-science, and Estimote Monitoring packet. It works extremely well with Android 5.0-8.0 devices (full support for Nougat, and Oreo included), and also allows you to configure it to keep scanning in the background.

Here is the official repository page -> https://github.com/Estimote/Android-Proximity-SDK

Also, we keep posting updates about the progress of our development on this thread at our forums. I encourage you to track it in order to be super up-to-date :)

Please, check the mentioned new SDK - the current SDK will soon be deprecated, and we will support only critical issues for some time.
