On German site heise.de I found this article ( https://heise.de/newsticker/meldung/LineageOS-Ableger-vermeidet-Google-Code-3879358.html ) telling there was a new fork of LineageOS replacing certain Google proprietary parts with open source MicroG components. According to https://lineage.microg.org/ …

and here we are: https://download.lineage.microg.org/FP2/

Since the last couple of updates I started feeling the battery was draining at a faster rate. For example during the night without using the phone it’s dropping about 20% and when I check the details it seems to be the microG Core service that is taking the most of it. even after some hours of usage…

Hmm… I can’t approve that, in my case microG is at 1% battery usage (since yesterday morning). Did you happen to install additional apps (or app updates) that might explain the increased microG usage?

Mm no new apps. But yes i did several updates. Hard to figure out what could be… [Screenshot_20180201-114827] This is after half day of usage including the night

Maybe the microG settings might give a hint, e.g. by checking which apps are registered for Google Cloud Messaging? Another idea: did you already check the #batteryguide ?

Thanks a lot for your reply. I unregistered some apps that I really don’t need notifications for. I did this in the past. but there were some that I can still unregistered. I will give a look to the battery guide

Hi guys, I recently chanced from FP OOS to Lineage with MicroG. Installation: After backing everything up I downloaded the zipfile and followed the lineage instructions. As a person who never worked with ADB before I installed it (because it says so in the instructions) only to find that I cannot…

[image] Sonne: I really liked the option from the FPOOS keyboard to have a button to switch the language. I frequently change between german and english, so it was superconvenient. Does anyone if there is a way to have this option with lineage? Yeah there is the option too! Just go to “Einste…

Ah, found it, brilliant! Tank you! (I wasn’t aware that I didn’t add english as language and with only 1 language the button doesn’t show up in the interface). I don’t know if I do anything special about the battery life. I wouldn’t call myself a heavy user; at work I only look at the phone a few t…

[image] Sonne: it complained “zip signature verification failed.” I disabled the verification (is one supposed to do that?) and it worked. I had to do that also, I assume this is normal behaviour :wink: [image] Sonne: It does not seem to be rooted. I did not have time to dig into that ye…

[image] Sonne: before lineage K9 was using up a big chunk of the battery (up to 20 %) for some weird reason and I never got it fixed. That is not the case now anymore, so maybe it was just K9 by it’s self. Yes, I think it’s K9 Mail. I was using K9 on FP OS and now on LOS, with 4-5 IMAP mailbo…
