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:
/{width=900 height=529}
Currently it has just some one-and-a-half days which is the worst ever since Jan 23.
Another one is the charging chart:
{width=900 height=529}
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.

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.
