Experimental Mobian kernel patch for extended battery life

So far I am not noticing any difference in battery life.
I am trying to leave my PPp unplugged more but without doing anything special I don't see a major change.

I am wondering if the issue I am fixing only affects some PPP and not others. One quick way to check is to run the following WebGL Aquarium demo for 10 minutes (disable sleep/suspend):

Thereafter run the aforementioned command and post your output here:

Code:

sudo dmesg|grep "rk818-bat: changed"

If dsoc is significantly lower than rsoc, then that matches what I have found in all the OS's I have tried (Mobian, postmarketOS, danctnix). Note that this patch only affects usage under load (active use), not standby times or suspend times.

Any luck getting suspend to work? This makes a huge difference when the phone is under load, but without suspend...I can't see myself daily driving this. Even with my keyboard case, it drains fairly quickly.

Keep up the good work though!

Yes suspend works now. I guess I should update the original post.

what causes the suspend to work, not work, and hang in a coma it cant get out of?
BTW pretty cool the flatpak camera app, I can take pix with my PPp!!
