I've been using battery monitoring apps to optimize my battery life and noticed a strange thing. Sony's "com.sonymobile.smartcharger" app, which I think is related to Battery Care, seems to be using battery by waking up my phone when it's idle. Better Battery Stats (which can be found on XDA and enabled with ADB commands if anyone wants to try it) shows this waking up my phone at least once per minute. I've attached a screenshot of the stats. This persists even when I disable Battery Care, although the number of wakeups seems to go down a little when I do that. Is anyone else noticing this, and what can we do about it? Does Battery Care really need to be waking up our phones hundreds of times per day? Why can't it just get the data it needs when you plug it in?
It has been weeks since I have last seen the battery care icon showing me the time when the battery will be fully loaded. I always get up at 8 on weekdays and almost always charge overnight. It seems the phone has a hard time recognizing my charge cycle, while I think I'm pretty consistent (I do have to do a short charge session somewhere during the day regularly, it feels like the battery is already deteriorating, as I didn't need to do that during the first few weeks). When it did work, it never used the correct time either, it would fully charge at 7 or 8:30, never 8.
I feel It would be so much more effective to just let me choose the time when it should be fully loaded. Then I could have battery care every charge, instead of only sometimes. Is there a way to do this? If not can I add a feature request somewhere?
