I tried running on Optimized mode for about an hour streaming over 4G music on Shortwave app, killed WiFi and BT about 30min in, down to 25% from 90%. Needs some serious tweaking. I am sure it is partly hardware limitations vs ultra streamlined ARM CPUs with ultra refined drivers, partly not running all audio and video through a GPU or audio hardware acceleration, and partly that we are reinventing the wheel again from a desktop OS, party the modem which has its own software/firmware distro working on improvements.
(edit)
I am always shocked to find my resting phone is warm, always shocked to see my PPpro pulling between 5-6 Watts with only Powersupply app running, no WiFi no BT, struggling to charge when connected to a PinePower. Most app and functionality issues are working out for a daily driver but I am always charging.
(edit2)
Surprising, even when I kill both Cortex-A72s (CPU 4 & 5) and 2 of 4 Cortex-A53(0 & 1 of 0-3) it is still pulling 6.5W same draw as when all CPUs are running, even when I kill all RF(4g,WiFi, Bluetooth) it still is pulling 5.8W... IDK.
I feel like I must have something configured wrong or the app doesn't have the permissions to actually do anything, I also killed tor, there has to be a way to save more power than this even if it strangles the system as long as I can switch back to power mode for web and similar.
