I have some questions about the hardware switches. I have found contradicting information in different forums (e.g. Reddit). Some people said the hardware kill switches will not cut off the power to the modules (i.e. you cannot save battery even if you set them to off, they just continue to leech battery in the background), while some say yes.
So if I turn off the some of the switches can I save battery or not?
And I cannot see the second label of the kill switches clearly in the video but I guess that one is WIFI something?
1.Modem
2.W??????
3.Microphone
4.Rear camera
5.Front Camera
6.Headphone
In the pinephone device page it listed:
HW switches: LTE/GNSS, WiFi, Microphone, Speaker, Cameras
But I remeber in one post it mentioned the Wifi kill switch shares with GNSS, or does Modem switch share with the GNSS kill switch?
I wish I can get my hands on the braveheart phone soon then I can test them myself.
