I use Tailscale as my VPN, and it’s always just worked for me. But lately, it keeps hopping out. This is only an issue on my Android phone too. I have set Tailscale to be the ‘always-on-vpn’ in settings, but that doesn’t change anything for me....
I found androidauthority.com/maximize-battery-life-882395… but I don’t know if it applies to every device, or if I should charge my asus X00PD differently
I found this - increases battery life while apps open faster - confirmed via AccuBattery testing for a couple of weeks:
You can force ART compiler’s AOT(Ahead Of Time) compiler to force compile all the apps ahead of time instead of JIT(Just In Time) which compile apps on the fly when you open and use different parts of an app.
By default google uses a profile-based method to only compile the most used parts of an app. (You can find more info by reading the source which I’ve mentioned below)
Remember forcing compilation take some time depending on how many apps you have installed.
Only downside is this takes up little bit more storage space due to compiled .oat files are being larger in size compared to dex files.
For example for me, apps installed without forcing compilation takes about 30GBs of space in total and after compilation it takes about 39GB.
Yes - like every other time. With every App or system update these optimizations are “overwritten” by the system again…you don’t need to but I’m sure if you do it every 1-4 weeks you’ll see a positive impact on speed and battery.
Hello all. I got some cash from family while visiting for the holidays and was thinking about getting one of the PS Plus plans but wanted to ask some advice here....
60% in 20 hours with 6 hours of screen-on time. Not bad. I expected lowe screen-off power consumption. Instead, it looks like the screen-on power consumption is lower than my expectation.
Hi Pixel 8 and 8 pro users, how has your experience with the new line of phones been so far? I’m still rocking a pixel 6 pro, and don’t intend on upgrading this year; however, as a pixel nerd, I am curious about how the new phone is holding up? Has there been any noticeable improvements or compromises compared to your last...
Sure, this is very light usage - just 5 hours SoT over more than 2 days of usage - but I couldn’t get this phone to even make it to two days with similar usage on Android 13. And it’s comparable to my previous budget phone, so the only thing the 7a was worse at is now fixed for me.
Like many others, I find ADB to be an excellent utility when I intend to get rid of bloatwares / system-apps-that-I-don’t need from my Android phone....
It would be nice to have an option that hides NSFW posts in the front page and all collections, so I can browse on the work wifi without causing issues. Then be able to browse through those specific channels at home with all the preloading on....
I know that Connect, Sync, and Thunder all exist, but which one feels closest to Infinity for Reddit? Been using Jerboa since I switched from Reddit to Lemmy, but so far it hasn’t been an amazing experience. I understand that it’s still super early in development and I know that issues are inevitable but I haven’t seen...

The battery life on Android 14 is actually insane once it settles down [7a] (lemmy.one)
