Operating Efficiency Question #4

Open monefiera opened 9 months ago

monefiera commented 9 months ago

At the outset, I have to apologize asking a very primary question. What would the actual battery efficiency be with your Kernel applied? Is it comparable to that of the NW-A300 and NW-ZX507?

Depending on the frequency of use and frequency settings, it may take up to an additional day (although there may be a risk of processing delays, etc.) Please note that this boot image is exclusive to the A100 generation, so there is no guarantee that it will work on the A300.

Thanks for answer & I apologies for my late reply. One more question, I have installed the GMS Doze module for more optimal power consumption, but it has no effect. Is there anything I can do?

notcbw commented 8 months ago

@monefiera There isn't much to do other than enabling direct stream (i.e. disabling all the fancy Sony effects like the DSEE AI), and avoid using 3rd party streaming apps.

I am using the Chinese firmware which doesn't have GMS at all. The battery life is better but it's pretty inconvenient since you have to sideload apks or use third-party app stores. I don't really recommend it.

OK, battery life is already sufficient for my use, so I will continue to use it.
Thanks for answering my question!
