Syncthing has used 0.5% of my phone's battery over the last 7 days, despite a big photo and video sync job, while instantly syncing every change I make to my KeePass database. I can't speak for other Android users, but "every Syncthing user knows it's a battery hog on Android" definitely doesn't reflect my own experience.
- tasn 6y agoThis has been the number one Syncthing complaint since the beginning. Here are just some of the top search results: https://www.reddit.com/r/Syncthing/comments/g5fe9l/there_are_2_different_syncthing_android_apps/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Syncthing/comments/g5fe9l/there_are... https://www.reddit.com/r/Syncthing/comments/8ra7s7/how_to_avoid_huge_battery_drain_from_syncthing/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Syncthing/comments/8ra7s7/how_to_av... https://forum.syncthing.net/t/android-app-consumes-too-much-battery-when-idle/9954 https://forum.syncthing.net/t/android-app-consumes-too-much-... The solution most people resort to is to just disable syncing when not connected to power (which is what I do). Maybe you are lucky, I don't know, but I've always had terrible battery life with Syncthing, and it's a common complaint.
