**(39) How can I reduce the battery usage of FairEmail?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recent Android versions by default report *app usage* as a percentage in the Android battery settings screen.
|
|
|
|
|
Confusingly, *app usage* is not the same as *battery usage*.
|
|
|
|
|
Confusingly, *app usage* is not the same as *battery usage* and is not even directly related to battery usage!
|
|
|
|
|
The app usage (while in use) will be very high because FairEmail is using a foreground service which is considered as constant app usage by Android.
|
|
|
|
|
However, this doesn't mean that FairEmail is constantly using battery power.
|
|
|
|
|
The real battery usage can be seen by using the three dot overflow menu *Show full device usage*.
|
|
|
|
|
The real battery usage can be seen by navigating to this screen:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Android settings*, *Battery*, three-dots menu *Battery usage*, three-dots menu *Show full device usage*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a rule of thumb the battery usage should be below or in any case not be much higher than *Mobile network standby*.
|
|
|
|
|
If this isn't the case, please let me know.
