Bookworm

Under light use my phone is showing 70%  at about 13 hours off the charger.  No phone calls today but quite a few texts. & checking for texts.

The phone is recovering from suspend pretty quick.    I sure Hope that stays fixed.

Lots of little stuff under the hood getting polished a bit at a time.

Mine died after just 8hrs off full charge.  I'm backtracking on what happened ...

... I'd listened to a podcast -- Leo's Laporte's TechTalk if anyone is old enough to remember him on TechTV  -- then listened to some music via local files via Lollypop, and then set the phone down locked. I'd been checking the power consumption: 2-3W while listening, so the Power app was open / in background, and Settings app as well. 50% charge.

Wi-Fi & Cell were enabled, Bluetooth disabled; and Bookworm has been good about putting wifi to sleep.  When I unlock the phone now, I can see the Wi-Fi icon disabled, then gets re-enabled; and I can also not ping the phone on my home WiFi when it's been sitting a few mins.   No calls & no txts happened to wake the phone back up.

My guess is Lollypop never let go of the DAC in the modem.  What I mean is: my understanding is all audio channels run through the Quectel chip, right?  Or Lollypop kept churning away on one of the A64 cores.  If so, I'll have to remember to shutdown apps before walking away from the phone for hours.

To really know what's going on, something like sar needs to audit activity.  There's other monitoring tools, like pcp, but sar is pretty low intensity compared to them IMHO.
