I started using Summit a week or two ago, and I really like it. It's a great Lemmy app. But I notice my phone's battery life has taken a hit since then.
According to battery usage, I've been using Summit slightly more than the Reddit app, but Summit has consumed much more battery.
One other thing. It looks like Graphene OS does not come pre-installed with Google Play Services. Summit uses Crashlytics for crash reporting which is part of Firebase which uses Google Play Services. I wonder if this is causing issues. You can also try disabling Firebase within the app. To do so go to Settings > Logging > Log crashes to Google Firebase. Let me know if this helps.
That actually seem to work! It is still a bit hotter, but not nearly as hot as before. So there might still be something else here. Thank you! <3
If you use the app heavily your phone warming up a little is expected but it probably shouldnt get "hot". Please do monitor for total battery usage and see if it's still problematic.
After some usage, it seems like it still drains the battery as before. Is there anything else I can do to assist in debugging?
Yes! There has been two major developments in efficiency recently. In v1.58.3 a lot of changes were made to optimize the performance of the critical sections of the app. In v1.58.4 more changes were made to optimize network calls in the critical sections of the app. I will try to remember to update this thread once v1.58.4 is fully rolled out. Once it goes it I will need your help in testing that release. Hopefully that release will put a dent in the battery usage.
Thank you, I will gladly help out where I can <3
The release should be out now
Well, sad news, the problem persists.
So the phone seem to be getting quite hot in the feed only and after a few pages.
I have filtered out a bunch of communitys, can that possibly be part of the problem? That it somehow enda up in an endless loop when trying to filter out and fetch?
Oh that sucks. I have another release that has minor performance improvements but i doubt it will fix your issue.
I've been doing profiles of the app all week but I havent seen the app use more than 40% cpu consistently even on a low end device. I'm not really sure what is going on. My suspicion is it has something to do with your settings.
Coukd you describe your main workflow. Maybe that will help me recreate the issue on my end.
Amazing! I just installed it, will try it out and monitor
