Android Q. The Google company makes a huge change in the new version of the operating system that improves battery autonomy, but also solves an extremely scary problem of the operating system. Now Android 9 can scan for Wi-Fi networks or Bluetooth devices, even when both functions are completely disabled, but starting with Android Q, things will change, and this functionality can be completely blocked by users.
Android Q. In the image below you can see two new functions for the operating system, which will allow the complete deactivation of scanning for Wi-Fi networks or Bluetooth devices, when the functions are disabled. Normally, deactivating functions from the very beginning should not allow this, but as Google wants to follow everything, what people want doesn't really matter, but in Android Q, Google rethinks things.
Android Q. HUGE Battery Life Change
Android Q. The change completes one already made for Android 9 by Google, which reduced the number of scans for Wi-Fi networks to 1 per 30 seconds for applications open on the screen, and 1 per 30 minutes for those remaining in the background. With Android Q, applications can be completely blocked from scanning if we don't want this to happen again, and battery life will be dramatically improved after activating these functions in phones, and it is highly recommended to do so.
Android Q. Repeated and pointless scanning of Wi-Fi networks or Bluetooth devices consumes much more battery energy than you imagine, which for many people is a very big problem. Estimates regarding the increase in battery autonomy do not exist, but we can talk about changes from a few percent to a few tens of percent, and Android Q could significantly extend the usage periods of users' phones.
Android Q. Although the functions themselves are very useful, in order to have access to them it is necessary to enable access to the developer options, plus obtaining root access to the operating system of the phones.
