Bluetooth module power consumption.

[AEDIS]

I have long noticed that the Bluetooth module consumes a lot of energy when it is simply turned on. In the battery consumption graph, Bluetooth is always in the first lines with maximum consumption, sometimes the consumption is higher than that of the screen and the central processor, and this is without an active connection, this module is simply turned on.

I measured the phone for three days almost without use. Attached a screenshot, on it the consumption is higher for the first two days, on the third day the Bluetooth module was turned off and the battery consumption decreased significantly. This is the first phone where the turned on module in standby mode consumes so much energy.

I have an Asus rog 9 pro 512 phone, my son has an Asus rog 9 256, the energy consumption of the Bluetooth module in standby mode (without an active connection) is equally high for them.

For better autonomy, you have to turn off the module, pass this problem on to the developers, I hope that the firmware will be able to fix the malfunction and improve the autonomy of the device.

Interesting observation, and definitely something that could use a firmware level fix, kind of like how background tools or coffee break services can quietly drain resources if not optimized.

I forwarded the details to the dev team so that they can look into it, thank you @AEDIS

Hello @AEDIS 

Just to confirm, which firmware are you on now?

[AEDIS]

The latest firmware is 381, on the previous version Bluetooth also consumed a lot. My son's second phone hasn't been updated yet, it has the previous firmware, but the Bluetooth module's energy consumption is just as high.

I am attaching another screenshot, the phone was charged to the 80% limit 5 hours ago. During this time, Bluetooth was simply turned on, no devices were connected. Bluetooth consumes a lot of energy.
