Pinephone power consumption figures?
#3
Interesting idea turning off 3 of the CPU cores to save power. I really only use the phone for making and receiving calls, not videos, internet, etc. I'm going to set cpucold.sh to run at boot and see how it works out.

Addendum: I tried it and boot time increased noticeably. Takes over 2 minutes on single CPU, about 1 minute 40 seconds with all cores firing. (This is on Mobian using full disk encryption.) Might be better to run the script at login instead of at boot time.
