  • Hi - please can you check and make sure the LCD timeout is low, and only Wake on Tap is set in the Bangle's settings?

    Just checked: LCD timeout is 10 and only wakes on button is enabled not even wake on tap is on.

    I thought wake on tap was more taxing than wake on button. Should I change it to wake on tap?

    But basically when Bangle.js has a bluetooth connection, it goes into a low power low speed communications mode after 1 minute of inactivity, but when something is sent to it or it sends something, it enters the high power mode for 1 minute. If you've got something like a notification from the Android phone that keeps coming in every few minutes, that could kick it into the higher power mode?

    My phone have a few permanent notifications, one of them is home assistant but it never triggers a visible notification in the bangle. Can a permanent notification triggen the high power mode without seeing the notifacion in the bangle?

    I don't think that I recieved more notifications in the last weeks compared to the first week of the screenshots.

    To track down you could enable write log in Gadgetbridge on your phone, then dump it out, and look to see how often UART TX/UART RX lines occur normally.

    I'll do it for some time and report back. How do I dump the logs? Where to find them?

    Also in Gadgetbridge, make sure allow high MTU is enabled in the device's settings (I think it's the default) - if the Bangle can send/receive just one packet it won't put itself into the high power mode

    High MTU is enabled.

    If this is the issue I guess it's something we could look at as a firmware update - making the Bangle less willing to put itself into the high power radio mode (like requiring more than 2 packets before it does it)

    My gut says is the phone but is very strange that after a factory reset I get like a week of low power usage.

    I'll check the logs and post them here after a day. And I'll be around, If there is anything ellse I can test just tell me.

    Thanks for you answer!
