Not to beat a dead horse…I know there is a battery optimization update in the works, but I just wanted to throw out a few ideas I’d like to see that I think would help a ton:
- User controllable display brightness settings for ground and plane modes. I’d like to keep freefall and canopy bright, although during a night jump one might want to adjust that (I probably won’t do my night jump until later this year, it just came to mind
) - Screen timeout settings. Similar to a cell phone I’d like to adjust how long the screen should stay on before going dark.
- Disable wifi option: I imagine searching for wifi uses a lot of power, and honestly I’m OK with waiting to do this at home. Uploading log data to me is less of a priority than the device lasting until I’m ready to go home.
- Minutes of battery time remaining and/or percentage on main screen. These are already found within the settings, but it would be nice to let users put this on the main screen. On my last jump today the device started beeping for low power as I’m geared up walking to the plane. I thought I had a lot more time and ended up hoping it wouldn’t die on me the ride up. It didn’t, but with only about 8 minutes of juice left.
All in all this was a great weekend of jumping and love this Dekunu alti! My wrist was getting a lot of looks…like holy hell, an altimeter that actually looks good, imagine that! haha
