I didn’t measure exactly yet, but my impression is that the phone runs less than an hour with the screen turned off. And it is very hot whether the screen is turned on or off. Is this normal with the current version? If so, I hope this will get addresses with a future upgrade of the software.

Since I no longer use the Librem5 as my main phone due to it freezing all the time ( Frequent freezes ) I made another discovery: When the phone is switched off, the battery is still dead after a day. Is there any hope that this will improve? There is probably nothing that software updates could help …

the first 4 batches preceding evergreen are to be expected to have problems … they are museum pieces after all … but the input that they generate is highly valuable …

yea but battery drain while the phone is off sounds like hw defect, and if this defect is carried to evergreen - this won’t be ever solved by software updates.

Birch: from ~3 to ~6 hours (so far) I guess that would be >10.5 hours with a 3500mAh battery. [image] Sebastian Krzyszkowiak (@dos@librem.one) I've collected some hacks from our kernel team and tested the idle time on battery on my Librem 5 Birch - got almost exactly 6 hours while stayin…

Worth noting that that’s idling with screen and screen, modem, wifi, and usb off. However, that goes for the previous record too, I think, so still a very good improvement.

Hi richi, Any news from your side? Can you confirm longer usage over the last month? I am not sure if you already get all the fixes described above by updating but it is worth a try.

Hi howil, thanks for asking. Unfortunately, battery run time has been the least of my concerns lately. The mean time between freezes is way below the battery run time. [image] Frequent freezes Librem 5 The first time the phone froze was about five minutes aft…

To be exact, the previous record didn’t have USB off (but there were plenty of non-USB related improvements as well :))
