sudden battery dropping.

This is a big deal. Sudden battery drain is the biggest indicator your device is compromised. Ill be going to calox by the end of the week. How did this get past beta testing? My phone feels like a beached whale.

graphineuser There's nothing to indicate that an OS update is a result of what you're facing. It is more likely a result of a misbehaving app that's staying on in the background.

graphineuser I have to second MBS. Look at possible culprits in your battery usage, check what apps are running and how much RAM they consume before making any drastic decisions that might cost you dearly.

[deleted] your right. Calyx does not compare on paper in terms of real security. I will continue to monitor the battery usage.

matchboxbananasynergy yea iv had more experience of police breaking into my phones yhan many people here sadly. The only way they ever got into this phone is when i made a mistake. A popup kept coming up to update signal application. At the same time if you attempted to do so the operating system warned me not to install apps from unknown sources. I kept saying no and they would keep pushing it over 4g with the intervals getting shorter and shorter as they grew inpatient. And one evening I was high AF and did it before I went to sleep. I woke up the battery completely almost dead. I checked the battery usage and the 4g had used over 40 % battery in a single night. Uploading many gigs of data. I realised what I done. I uninstalled signal at once. Rebooted and reinstalled the apk from their website over a vpn. Since then I have been really sensitive to battery usage. I have had no problems since yesterday with this

graphineuser use Molly-FOSS instead of Signal, at least you will know what eats up your battery :) (websockets)

graphineuser

graphineuser ill look at mollyfoss

graphineuser

[deleted] its installed now ill see how it goes

graphineuser

[deleted] hmm battery seems to be better already. I wounder if they found a way to install a corrupted signal version without my pressing it

Anyone can tell me under what circumstances p-marg left? He seemed to be quite happy here. I have missed that thanks to moderation.

[deleted] They asked for their account to be deleted.

[deleted]

matchboxbananasynergy yes, thank you, I guessed as much, but I don't see whether there were any harassing comments behind it or whether it was an informed decision based on something else. Communities lose valuable members all the time, even at the very top. Sorry to see that happening. And judging by your curt response you don't want to talk about it. Sorry it's off topic, but to me important. I won't ask again and let's move forward.

[deleted] It is off-topic, but I'm happy to briefly address it. There didn't seem to be anyone's behavior behind their decision to leave. They quite politely asked for their account to be deleted, we asked them once more to confirm whether they are sure they would like that be the case and that we can't reinstate it if they change their mind, and they confirmed. Thank you for taking an interest in the community's affairs, and I'm sure that they would also appreciate that their absence was missed. They can always join under a different account if they change their mind. :)
