How much battery does your phone use overnight?

Mobile phones have been giving away data to authorities since their inception, as they were never designed to be ‘secure’ in the use case for the ‘general population’ or at the ‘consumer’ level, as shown in the communications protocols.

Along come smart phones, where data collection is taken to the next level, where now there are two levels of data collection.

The first level of data collection comes from the baseband modem which contains a proprietary closed source backdoor designed by the manufacturers, not dissimilar from Intel’s ME (Management Engine) within personal computers.

The next level of data collection is at the application layer where much more data is generated nowadays by the ‘product’, i.e. you.

As time goes on smart phones get larger meaning their screen size and as a consequence the battery size, yet the phone only lasts a day or so, where anything more is a big deal.

Apple and Google’s Android loaded smart phones send data back to home base many times a minute and in Apple’s case even when the phone is off.

To make matter’s worse Google’s Pixel series of phones now monitor your speech 24/7 with Google’s  new A.I. Tensor processor.

Since 2020 a new level of data collection which goes on 24/7 occurred which locates the subject more accurately called WiFi and Bluetooth Scanning in both Apple and Google’s smartphone operating systems.

Smart phone manufacturers, e.g. LG, Motorola, Nokia,  Samsung, Sony etc (except for Huawei) load their phones up with a baseline version of Android called AOSP (Android Open Source Project), then they inject it with Google’s spyware additives.

For quite some time now in order to mitigate the spying on your phone software developers have created methods to install the baseline version of Android without the all the Google ‘goodies’.

As shown in the screenshot above, a ‘de-Googled’ phone used 2% battery in an 8hr period overnight, or approx 0.25% battery loss per hour.

Should you choose to use a de-Googled phone then AOSP developers from e foundation,  LineageOS, GrapheneOS or CalyxOS are a few you could research if it’s right for you.

The blanket data hoovering has nothing to do with terrorism (where that is the 'advertised' excuse) but rather part of the Nanny State agenda.
