Objet: [Ring] Consommation de batterie Envoyé: Lundi 11 Avril 2016 07:18:28
"Suite au test des versions de ring pour Smartphone (Android 4.4)
et Laptop (Archlinux), j'ai remarqué une durée de vie réduite de
la batterie dans les deux cas.
Sur Smartphone, je passe de plus d'une journée de durée d'utilisation
à 4h et sur laptop je passe de 5h-6h à 2h.
Dans les deux cas, la désactivation de DRing m'a permis de récupérer
un fonctionnement normal. Dans l'usage, il n'y avait pas d appel passer
sur ring, ni d'usage plus intensif de l'appareil."
-remarque que c'est aussi très dépendant du device et de la version Android

"(...) The strength of ring is using DHT (like bittorrent) to achieve presence
without any central server. It is a peer to peer network to track who
is online and what their IP address is. This is also a weakness as it
is currently implemented, if you install this on your cellphone. Since
you're always participating in this PTP network, your device is always
transmitting and battery life is poor when the software is installed.
Because of this, I removed ring from my Android. It is still installed
on my desktop, constantly using about 1-2% CPU (and not sure how much data).
Despite the other disadvantages, I would use it if the battery problem
was solved. To fix that, I suggest people should be able to group
together multiple devices. so you would install it on your phone and
desktop or VPS. Then your phone would check in with your other systems
only when it changed IP address, and they would participate in the PTP
network. (...)"
