Open Pods and Wake Lock clarificaton

[Rihcus]

Hi I have been having battery issues on my Oneplus 8 running lineage os 18.1 and noticed a large number of wake requests from bluetooth.

Out of curiosity does openpods ping bluetooth or apply wake locks that prevent doze funcitionality? Also what does battery saver feature do to save battery.

As a side note the only other apps on my phone that could make that many bt requests is samsung wear and health services with my gear 3 classic I also used greenify to force doze (shallow hibernate).

Combined with battery saver in open pods and greenify for samsung my phone battery drain dropped from 5-8% per hour to 1-2% per hour.

I guess my overall question would be do you think there is any aspect of OpenPods and its battery saver that could lead to a bluetooth wake lock and large battery drain or was it something else (ie samsung services)?

Sorry long request.

Edit:

As a side note I use open pods with my Beats X (works except it shows up as one airpod the other airpod and case show as disconnected).

OpenPods does not have wakelock permission. https://github.com/adolfintel/OpenPods/blob/32f8fce6a617d9944f2059ea6bacbed137b09449/OpenPods/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L5-L11

However it may still cause battery life issues with your phone, try to enable battery saver and check if it helps.

I am not exactly sure what battery saver does has it has been added before I started working on the project. I'll try to check what battery saver does and update you exactly.

Battery saver stops the scanner when the screen is off.

The wakelocks seem to be normal, I have them too, it doesn't drain the battery at all.

I found out the issue was with Samsung services not open pods doze kicks in immediately. Thanks for the clarification 🙂
