I have already :
- disable wifi/4G/bluetooth
- disable automatic rotation
- adjust the brightness to the strict minimum
- close background applications

And it is enough that during the day I receive two or three calls of barely a minute and that I take ten photos so that I find myself at less than 10% after ten hours.

So if someone would have a solution to this problem I would be grateful for it.

Thanks in advance

It has a double sized battery in it, added to the phones battery, it gives triple the current runtime.
It is a bit larger package this way, it is now sort of a min laptop.
My first post using the keyboard.

Interesting, I think I'll try Mobian again these days  : )

Yeah I saw that and it's pretty awesome.
To make calls the keyboard is not too disturbing?

I am planning on trying that with an earphone,  the onboard microphone should work ok.
Perhaps speaker phone will suffice ?  The echo seems to almost disappear if you turn down the microphone volume.
Would only need an ear phone for private conversations.
But yes, putting a keyboard to your ear does not sound comfortable.

While I was on the forum yesterday using my new keyboard on my phone,  I started by using my cellular data and browsed the forum for quite some time,

but when I tried to log-in to the forum to respond to a post, it refused to let me log-in.

when I swapped from cellular data to wifi,  I logged-in on the first try.  ?
