This is what peak performance looks like. https://nostrcheck.me/media/3f770d65d3a764a9c5cb503ae123e62ec7598ad035d836e2a810f3877a745b24/a45586a4a5f1fb2da1d64b61f86ebb27923d55317732dc64e4806ec25cd7683e.webp

peak battery drain
Tis a feature.
What are your numbers on baterry usage with all that?
At first I was impressed that my battery usage is less than 1% but now I realize that Pokey has been stopping and not showing me notifications all day long, even though it is running.
I noticed that in Graphene, if you switch users sometimed it does not connect again to the relays when you are back. Is it possible that was your case? Maybe same situation will happen if the phone was turned off.
Anyways, I got reports from users and it seems to still use <1% when it actually works
I'm not using Graphene. I force closed and restarted the app. It seems to be working now. I'll see if it continues working the rest of the day. I wonder if Adaptive Battery killed the process?
It shouldn't. Next time chekc your relays tab. If there is nothing or just a few, try just the Stop and Start button. It should do the trick
I can validate that. I use Graphene, and Pokey worked the first time. I switched profiles and I've not been able to get it to work since, even though it says it's running. I've even uninstalled/reinstalled everything (Pokey, Zapstore, Amethyst), it seems I completely broke it. π
Check your relay list next time. It should get fixed if you just stop and start the service. The bad news is that notifications before restart won't appear again.
I use graphene but I noticed that It stopped working at some point even without switching users
Did you disable battery optimizations for Pokey? It should be set to "Unrestricted" to keep it from being closed or deactivated by Android's regular device optimizations.
My Pokey is pulling less than 0.1% of battery usage. I comparison, Amethyst is pulling 1.4%. So Pokey's battery useage has been very good for me. I suspect its battery useage is dependant on how many notifications a user receives over time, but generally speaking it appears to be very efficient.
I gotta get that citrine running. Been to lazy to install it and set it up.
It's takes only a minute to do. Work hard.
Can confirm.
Citrine is great. Having a relay directly on the phone is amazing
Agree. I love it for my drafts and offline posting.

This is a really cool feature
It would be an amazing feature to automatically re-broadcast events created while offline when the connection resumes nostr:nprofile1qqs827g8dkd07zjvlhh60csytujgd3l9mz7x807xk3fewge7rwlukxgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9usjfpck
Can you elaborate?
Itβs literally a relay on your phone. It backups events you post or others depending on how you set it up.
You can also use it on Amethyst as your private relay.
I didnβt know about the offline posting feature Derek described.
I know pokey sends push notifications to your android from nostr but what do citrine and amber do? Please #explainlikeimfive Iβm not someone versed in coding or computer science
Peak Nostr (Pokey now has embed Tor too, so there are 4 services here)

Yo π€ what does your citrine setup look like? I just downloaded and set it up, learning as i go. So far, it's not taking my notes (although i have authorized this npub and added 1 under kinds, and added it to my relay list).

I know that you can add an external backup to Citrine.
Is there a guide that can show me how I can download all my older events from a public relay I've been broadcasting to?
This would essentially make my Citrine relay home to every single event that I've signed and broadcasted on Nostr since I created these keys.
It would be super cool!

Can you point me to tutorials on how to implement that set up? Iβm uselessβ¦ or would you consider making one yourself??
I would install Obtainium or Zap.store and install Amber, Citrine and Pokey through there. Here's direct links though:
Amber: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/releases/
Citrine: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine/releases/
Pokey: https://github.com/KoalaSat/pokey/releases/
Here's a brief note I wrote about using Citrine
Can agree. Battery life is actually pretty good, too. I can go pretty much all day without charging if I need to.

Hey man , I have a question about Pokey, do you use it to replace Ntfy with Amethyst? I'm trying to understand the utility of Pokey..

How hard is the battery impact?
YES
probably not much because it basically offloads a heap of work from the app itself, one is the signer, one is the relay, one is notifications... they all sit there doing nothing until teh user pokes at them
oh yeah, pokey might be a bit of a power drain, the other to no
