Announcing the Mobian project

[dcinoz]

I'm not sure what happened with the high battery drain I experienced a few times.

I tested an up-to-date Mobian today and the news is very good with very low battery use with suspend mode:

Mobile on 4G, no data, no BT, no Wifi. Phone is in suspend mode via systemctl suspend command.

Time    Battery
0900    100%
1000    97% ( -3%  +1h)
1100    95% ( -5%  +2h)
1200    94% ( -6%  +3h)
1300    93% ( -7%  +4h)

Turned Wifi on 1303, can ping when on, no more pings when suspend via systemctl suspend. As a test if leaving Wifi on might have caused excess drain during sleep - no!

1400    92% ( -8%  +5h)
1500    91% ( -9%  +6h)
1600    90% (-10%  +7h)
1700    88% (-12%  +8h)
1800    87% (-13%  +9h)
1900    85% (-15% +10h)
2000    82% (-18% +11h)
2100    79% (-21% +12h)
2200    77% (-23% +13h)

No idea if they make a difference but seems to be recommended by Quectel.

This is a passive mode phone in standby with phone always in suspend (sleep) mode. Still excellent! Guess I can eat my words on high battery drain though I did not make it up and it happened both during the day and overnight (phone in airplane mode overnight, too).

On another note, I saw linux-image-5.11-sunxi64 was there and installed it, but upon reboot I never got the login / unlock screen.
