Switched the phone on today and it was at 72% and said âMore than 6 days leftâ. Did some app testing for about 15 minutes. Suddenly itâs at 69% and says â6 hours and 19 minutes leftâ (!!!). From 6 days down to 6 hours in 15 minutes ???

I think itâs based on what you consume the last 15 minutes. So if you continue so, 6h. But I you leave the phone, you perhaps will have 5 days left.

But seriously⊠just playing around with apps for 15 minutes cannot drain the battery that much. And today I just let the phone sit there for a while, doing nothing at all, and it now shows â5 hours 55 minutes leftâ 
Why does it not auto-correct back to 6 days or 5 days or whatever ? Just because I used the phone ONCE for 15 minutes, it crumbles from 6 days to 6 hours and never recovers ? Then something must be wrong.

Yeah the battery indicator is pretty wonky and doesnât seem very useful when predicting how long itâs going to last.

@bone_naga I have to agree. Itâs not an exact science.
@urszula downloading podcasts instead of streaming them has tremendously improved battery utilization! I had no idea streaming was eating into it that much. Plus I just us eInk Bro and download them straight to my Kompakt and sort into playlists as need with update 1.4. Have also started doing this with music but overall best battery utilization improvement practice Iâve made!!!

I downloaded FUTO keyboard, but canât figure out how to remove it. I checked on Aurora Store and F-droid and it doesnât say I have it installed. I tried to check on the Mudita desktop app and it doesnât show as installed either. Is it impossible to remove it? I am thinking this may be draining my battery, even though Iâm not using it anymore.

how did you install it?

i use WEBADB - https://app.webadb.com/
Step 1: Open webadb, connect your phone, and click on the âInteractive shellâ option.
Step 2: Get a list of the packages (apps) youâve installed. To do this, type the following (and then hit enter afterwards):
pm list packages -3
This should show a list of everything youâve installed - e.g. com.whatsapp is whatsapp, or com.aurora.store is the aurora store. Youâll need this name for step 3.
Step 3: Uninstall the app. Just type pm uninstall followed by the package name. For example pm uninstall com.whatsapp will uninstall whatsapp.

Iâve observed much the same with WhatsApp and Molly (Signal): both devour battery life.
I developed a Python script to monitor and adjust parameters like RUN_IN_BG, Doze mode, wake locks, and the likeâper appâpaired with a quick ncurses interface to disable them. Yet, given the Kompaktâs lack of a native battery saver, I question whether any of this matters in the end.
After weeks of testing, itâs clear these tweaks are insufficient for meaningful autonomy. My battery still falls from 80% to 10-14% within 24 hoursâa single dayâs use, nothing more.
I attempted to force Androidâs battery saver via ADB, only to find the dark mode seemingly hardcoded, resistant to override. A petty but persistent obstacle.
Recently I installed: https://superfreezz.gitlab.io/ which helps group-killing unwanted apps.
You can define strategies (auto/smart, freeze, ignore) for each app and with one button kill them all.
I donât know if that can be made automatic, i havenât been successful in doing so yet.
But so far, that seems to be the most efficient way to preserve battery.
Once all the apps are killed, the battery seems steady and doesnât drain so fast. Iâm hopeful.
Has anybody successfully automated something like this?
IIUC, one of the cleanest way would be to fix the âbattery saverâ mode so it doesnât go dark mode in a lot of places (like settings, etc, which are barely readable when itâs on), right?
i tried Low power mode on Kompakt - #3 by jalucky13 but for me itâs not enough to fix the dark mode

is there any possibility that in the future the offline+ switch could also include mapping of force-killing frequent apps that may be open in the background? While I know it wasnât the initial intention, and there is access to force-stop apps in the settings, it seems like an improvement that would help improve battery life, as the apps (while not supported officially) may still be running in the background.

Would be nice to allow mass-kill once Offline+ is flipped, donât try this at home though.

I havenât found this posted but for anyone finding their Mudita battery draining faster than before or expected⊠check your âUnrestricted Dataâ (search that in your System->Developer Options) for default and side loaded apps that are enabled for unrestricted data usageâŠwhich I guess is those apps constantly using dataâŠafter making sure all mine were turned off (I did find a few) Iâm back to 3-5 day battery depending on how much I hotspot

I also found that FUTO keyboard is very taxing on the battery of the phone as well. Has anyone else reached this same conclusion?

Thanks to this thread, I have been able to go from 2.5-3 days battery life to 6-8 days. I used to leave on the wifi and bluetooth, and use mobile data as needed-- habits from previous iphone use. Now I only turn on wifi/mobile data and bluetooth to download podcasts or use the GPS, then I turn them off and close the apps when Iâm done with them.
I use FUTO and havenât noticed it draining the battery much,
Something curious with the battery happened last week. It was down to 2 bars and I left the phone in the car for a few hours to go walking with a friend. When I returned, the phoneâs battery indicator showed full. It wasnât plugged in. So that time the phone went 12 days without charging.

I think we have to talk about this problem. I suspect the mudita team is behind all this.
They hire people in different strategic locations to go behind our back and charge the Kompakt while weâre not watching.
And then people go on and on on the internet and forum about how great the battery life is on this device.
(joke aside, was the kompakt on the induction charging deck of your car by any chance ? 
I have one in my car i didnât know about until i saw the phone charging)

@T9Pilot This is definitely an out scenario? Do you have one of those induction chargers in your car?
This is definitely an out scenario
yes, just kidding
do you have one of those induction chargers in your car?
Yes i do, it works fine, but i prefer to use the USB-c cable, seems more reliable.
