Do you use many Android apps?

Hi, thank you for the info. Yes, I keep my Pebble connected 24/7 and I noticed that before battery lasted almost two days, but now it hardly makes it to the night. I don't use Android apps, although I have installed a few. The only app I keep connected all day is Mitakuuluu2, which might be also the problem. It could also be the latest SailfishOS update. Since the entire OS is continuously evolving and most "useful" native apps are in a pre-alpha state, its hard to say what causes what when you have a dramatic change in battery usage.

In case it has to do with SkippingStones app, I wonder if this battery issue would improve slightly if it would operate as a daemon working in the background instead of having the app opened all the time?

The continuous BT connection between Pebble and phone should not be the problem either, as I used to have a bluetooth audio streamer connecting my jolla phone to my hearing aids 24/7 and it never drained my phone's battery, even when I was listening to music during long hours.

Anyway, I hope this app keeps being developed, as it is very useful for those who cant hear, access, or look at their phones during certain times of the day but we don't want to miss important IM/Text/Emails, etc.

Has anybody considered porting the Android app to Sailfish? Is that a proprietary app or they use open source? Thanks
