I know the Fairphone 5 battery is part of a lot of discussion but when using Google Maps the FP5 seems to drain incredibly quick. It seems to be about 4-5x faster than other android phones that I have used.
Is there a reason for this?
Are these any settings that can help with this?
Could you define 4-5 faster somehow? I think on both FP4 and FP5 for me its around 10% / hour when the screen is on.
I think I am probably losing around 25-30% per hour, I will have to give a check next time I use it as I have charged since.
Gave it a try today and a 20 minute journey took up 9% of my battery
Do you have 5G enabled? I think there is something else draining battery.
Else what are your settings here?
Thanks, I have the same settings except I had WiFi scanning on, I have turned that off now.
I had battery saver mode on which I am pretty sure disables 5g.
You can check if its the same in safe mode, if not its a third party app. dic:safemode
That was probably a good test/move. There are reports of WiFi scanning draining the battery.
