Ionic Battery Optimization

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

My ionic app has a background activity of about 19 - 20%, and sucks a lot of battery. Is there any way to optimize it? I don’t have any intervals running or anything, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Here’s my plugin list:

      "ionic-plugin-keyboard": {},
      "cordova-plugin-app-version": {},
      "cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing": {},
      "cordova-plugin-google-analytics": {},
      "cordova-plugin-add-swift-support": {},
      "cordova-plugin-screen-orientation": {},
      "cordova-plugin-apprate": {},
      "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview": {},
      "cordova-plugin-statusbar": {},
      "cordova-plugin-splashscreen": {},
      "cordova-clipboard": {},
      "cordova-plugin-network-information": {},
      "cordova-sqlite-storage": {},
      "cordova-plugin-whitelist": {},
      "cordova-plugin-device": {},
      "cordova-plugin-inappbrowser": {}

You are talking about Android I guess?

What is your ionic info output?

This plugin could helps you to optimize an eventual GPS tracking : https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/background-geolocation/
BackgroundGeolocationConfig options can provide to you many attributes like desiredAccuracy, interval, saveBatteryOnBackground, activitiesInterval… which are relative to your targeted platform only (iOS or Android perhaps others).
Keep me informed.
