Since the powerSave feature reduces the polling Interval for accelerometer etc. when its detected that the device is stationary, but not when its moving. I was wondering if its good idea to put this in the settings app: powersave = auto/on/off.
Three modes.
auto = when stationary
on = polling interval 800ms always
off = polling interval 80ms always
The only downside I see is that the user might not be aware of how it makes the accelerometer less reliable/accurate. So would have to make that clear, or put a warning when changing that setting? Or could name the setting something strange like "Accelerometer Power". Then its clear that when its off, you can't also rely on using the accelerometer.
I personally do not use the accelerometer and so I put a .boot.js file with pollingInterval 800 to increase battery usage/life.
Thoughts?
