@Lightning @JimmyTheSaint I _am_ talking about BTSync's battery saving mode. Open BTSync settings - it's the fifth setting from the top ("Battery Saver"). You can set it to stop syncing if battery is below a certain costumizable level. If you set this, and the battery is low, the app shows a grey bar saying "Low battery level" on the bottom. This is only activated when the phone is not connected to a charger (which is great). As I wrote in my earlier post (which was probably misunderstood), if this mode would have worked properly, it would be perfect to set it to not sync if battery is below %90. Problem is, it is not working properly. The app does not sync any file when the battery is low, but it does not disconnect communication with already connected peers. The result is constant network chatter that constantly wakes the phone from deep sleep.

What about battery usage in battery saver mode? I would like to know how good it really is (in light of my findings on not-so-saving network activity).

I second your results with regard to 1.1.33. It does drain battery pretty bad. Perhaps solving this problem fundamentaly is challenging. However, I think could be mitigated if the "Battery Saver" mode would work properly. Ideally, when the app is in "Battery Saver" mode, it should completely disconnect from peers, stop listening to ports, etc. Thus the app would stop preventing deep sleep. In reality, this mode stops syncing, but does not stop communications. I ran a quick tcpdump today and it shows continuous chatter between my phone and my PC, even when in Batter Saver mode. Hope the developers have a look at this.
