harrisc Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have btsync on an android phone. The sync program is using a large amount of the battery and the phone was very hot. I shut down btsync and then the phone cooled down. How can I keep the battery use down? Can I set btsync to ONLY work when the phone is being charged?

Helen Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Did you check Sync setting on the phone? 1. Enable AutoSleep there, 2. Yes, when autosleep is on, there is option to set Sync to sync only when phone is on charge . Details are here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisc Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hi Thanks for the reply. Current settings are: I have Auto-sleep On. I have Go to sleep if no active transfers enabled.Set activity checks every 4 hours I have Sync when charging enabled. On charging activity checks every 15 minutes. I have the excessive battery use with these settings. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Chris, then the app doesn't go to sleep - apparently there are some files stuck in syncing, check out the folders in Sync as see if there are any files with stuck progress bar underneath. Else, submit logs to support. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisc Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I sent an email, with the logs. I notice that when starting the program it reports 55.8gb 36.5 synced, 16812 files 1323 synced. I left the phone on charge and all became synced. I had turned it off and next time the sync status was similar; many files not synced but only 1 file added Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily Baker Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Actually, increasing battery life for Android Phone is not such a difficult thing as you think. To make your device run for a longer time, you only need to adjust some settings of your device like reducing the brightness of screen, disabling wireless network, quitting background software and so on.

And as I check on the date, this post has been made on 2016. I am 100% sure that this issue has been resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisc Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 There were issues with particular files not syncing and causing higher power usage. Removing the files fixed that problem. Power usage was still more than I wanted. Now I have a macro that only starts Sync when charging and when charge state is over 96%. This works for me Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
