Facebook Identifies Issues That Caused Its App to Drain Your Battery, Releases Fix

 

Facebook has identified a few issues that have caused battery life issues with its iOS app and has released an update that addresses some of them.

We recently heard reports of some people experiencing battery issues with the Facebook iOS app and have been looking into the causes of these problems. We found a few key issues and have identified additional improvements, some of which are in the version of the app that was released today.

Here’s some more details…


The first issue we found was a “CPU spin” in our network code. A CPU spin is like a child in a car asking, “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”with the question not resulting in any progress to reaching the destination. This repeated processing causes our app to use more battery than intended. The version released today has some improvements that should start making this better.

The second issue is with how we manage audio sessions. If you leave the Facebook app after watching a video, the audio session sometimes stays open as if the app was playing audio silently. This is similar to when you close a music app and want to keep listening to the music while you do other things, except in this case it was unintentional and nothing kept playing. The app isn’t actually doing anything while awake in the background, but it does use more battery simply by being awake. Our fixes will solve this audio issue and remove background audio completely.

Facebook is quick to note that the problems are not caused by the Location History feature or anything related to location. It says it’s committed to improving battery usage and that users should already seem improvements in the version released today.

so go update your Facebook app to  save batteries , save energy and save the world .

WANNA CHECK IF YOUR IPHONE 6S / 6S PLUS is A SAMSUNG OR TSMC ?

DID you know there are 2 different manufacturers of the A9 chipset inside the heart of your new iphone6s or iphone6s plus ?

one of them SAMSUNG and the other TSMC . as you can see from the picture above from chipworks .

whats the difference ?  SIZE ! but not everyone agrees that bigger is better . heres why :

 

 

At the end of last month, it was discovered by Chipworks that Apple used two separate manufacturers to cover the manufacturing needs of the A9 chips found in the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Notably, the Samsung version of the A9 chip, which measured at 96mm², was smaller than the TSMC version of the A9 chip, which measured in at 104.5mm².

Many had figured that the smaller Samsung A9 chip was the better chip, being that it was smaller and smaller die processes could potentially lead to improvements in power efficiency over the larger TSMC A9 chip, but is that really the case?

Recent benchmarks shared by Reddit user raydizzle compare a Geekbench battery life score between two iPhone 6s Plus devices, which had the same exact applications, settings, and backups as one another – one of them reportedly had a Samsung A9 chip, and the other reportedly had a TSMC A9 chip. The results are actually impressive – TSMC’s A9 chip was able to withstand nearly two hours more of battery benchmarking than Samsung’s was:


TSMC left, and Samsung right

Other benchmarks have also shown that the TSMC A9 chip may be marginally faster than the Samsung A9 chip as well, but the differences are essentially impossible to tell without premium benchmarking software. In terms of battery life on the other hand, a two-hour different is pretty huge.

Fortunately TSMC is found powering most of Apple’s iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus models, in what is estimated to be a 60/40 split, so your chances of ending up with a TSMC-powered iPhone is higher than your chances of ending up with a Samsung-powered iPhone.

If you’re curious what chip you may have inside of your new iPhone, you can use an iOS application called Lirum Device Info Lite – System Monitor (first spotted by Engadget) to find out what chip you have under the hood. If the application shows a model number N66AP (in the iPhone 6s plus) or N71AP (in the iPhone 6s), then you have the Samsung A9 chip. If the application shows a model number N66MAP (in the iPhone 6s plus) or N71MAP (in the iPhone 6s), then you have the TSMC A9 chip.
