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.
I would assume the biggest power draw is the LCD display. The Pine64 page says the PinePhonePro uses a Himax HX8394 LCD. The Himax HX8394 data sheet, talks about how it can be driven to Low Power or High Speed mode. Makes me wonder if we (the community) can put the LCD in a low power mode. OR maybe it is already in that mode... More research is needed!
I wish that Megi was still interacting with the community, form what I read his contribs became the sole source for too much of Pinephone development. I will look for that specific device though in Megi work logs.
