Battery Drain
Normal Battery Usage
SIMtrix Bridge is designed to be extremely lightweight in the background. Under normal conditions, it should consume less than 2% of battery per day. The app maintains a lightweight WebSocket connection that uses minimal power. If you see significantly higher battery usage, something may be misconfigured.
Causes of Excessive Battery Drain
Frequent reconnections: If the app keeps losing and re-establishing its server connection, it uses more battery. Fix your internet stability or Wi-Fi settings. Call recording: Active recording uses more power due to microphone usage. This is normal during calls. CRM overlay: The overlay fetches data during incoming calls. This brief activity is normal and uses minimal extra battery.
Optimization Tips
Use Wi-Fi instead of mobile data when possible — Wi-Fi maintains connections more efficiently. Ensure you have strong cellular signal; a weak signal causes more retries. Keep the app updated to the latest version, which may include battery optimizations. Do not force-disable all battery optimization — SIMtrix needs to be exempt, but other apps should use normal battery management.
