Some information about background power consumption. This has been tested with Beta Version 2.99923. I have the tablet on the bike all the time and screen turns on/off with the motorcycle’s ignition. So DMD2 is in the background all the time.

Setup:
Samsung Galaxy tab active 3 Android 13.

Battery charged 100% and charging disconnected. DMD2 in foreground.
MacroDroid script:  Charger disconnected => Display off => Tablet screen locked => Bluetooth off, Flight mode (wlan off, mobile data off).

The tablet was not used for 3 days and 10 hours.
The Android battery display shows DMD2 active 4 min and background usage 3d10h.
DMD2 power consumption is the highest of all 6.6%
Same set up but DMD2 closed and Google Maps left in the foreground before turning off the screen. Google’s power consumption is less than 1%.

10 hour test (Flight mode and Bluetooth off):
DMD2 in the foreground, screen off and locked, the battery drop is about 12%.
DMD2 closed and Google Maps in the foreground, screen off and locked, the battery drop is about 4%.
