FP3: Release 3.4 has extreme power usage

  • /e/OS version: e/OS 3.4-t-20260114569181-official-FP3
  • Device model(s): FP3+
  • Impacted Application: ~
  • Affected application/URL: all
  • Browser/client and version: native

The problem

Power usage is extremely high

I monitor the energy consumption of my FP3 since January 2023 and have created a few charts out of the numbers I collected. The last ones I made are practicvally speaking for themselves. Here is the power usage chart: /20260111_FP3_PU_xsv Currently it has just some one-and-a-half days which is the worst ever since Jan 23.

Another one is the charging chart: 20260121_FP3_Ch_xsv

You see that currently you need more than 10 hrs daily to just keep it up and running. The phone is practically unusable when you're off the desk.

Steps to reproduce

Just use the phone.

Technical details

Apps with the highest usage are

  • Network
  • ntfy
  • Advanced privacy
  • Element (Matrix messenger)

relevant logs

So far there are no logs, just the numbers I found and created the charts with. I'm open to any suggestions.

typeBug in e / QA / Testing Community Just a guess. May also be a misusage (didn't change any behaviour other than the e/OS-version) or a poor implementation of something.
