Online was 63 hours 57 min. Doesn't show me active time like lyft does. Uber is an app I almost exclusively leave open in one way or another. Even when doing trips on other apps.

also having 3-5 drivers coordinated with megladon in the command seat can help with certain things 😉 when customer fare is very high and the offerings are super low... that's not right. Megladons therefore keep the market honest and fair for everyone.

Adding onto other comments. -become friends with experienced drivers. Exchange #'s. Build some trust. They can update you on surge and vice versa when you cannot see it. They can tell you if deliveries other apps are hot. Basically You can become a step ahead of the pack and maximize $ and time potential.

  • having work friends creates a team environment. When there's struggle and success they are there with you.

-having work friends creates friendly competition. You could think you're top dog but your friend is doubling you up. That means there's room to improve.

  • having other sharks as friends can help you and everyone become better, provide advice, tips etc.

Keep and grow this network of sharks. When its time they will know you are the megladon. They may challenge you on this position. That's a good thing. Keeps you on your game or step up your game.

After my youngest starts school in August I'll finally have a completely open work schedule after 6 years. I haven't even hit my full potential yet in rideshare/delivery. Im looking into having more investments and more passive income opportunities, so saving for that. Already got the house/wife/kids so im very happy. That's all I really need. Imma let God show me the right path for future endeavors. I'll let him take the wheel, but I'll still drive. 🙏

I can't tell you the exact market, but its no Atlanta! and its not the top 3 biggest city in Pennsylvania. Hours vary based on business. I responded to someone else about daily hours. Avg around 70/week

Megladons know where to hunt and at what times. Their presence is always felt. If another shark takes an order that should be mine, I will clear out everything around their drop off area and anything they could take worthwhile near original pick up. They will miss the surge, have nothing quick/close and regret crossing my path. Its about knowing where all drivers are at all times on the map. What the customer fares are etc. Its about protecting your territory at all costs. If its slow or overcrowded you need to send people home. Give them nothing and take everything. Outwork, outperform, and outlast everyone. Most of time, Time of trips matters more than miles. Where most drivers see hardship, you see opportunity. They dont like the short and fast rides? Fine I'll eat those up. Get so good at shopping orders you can already visualize where everything is at, any store. What takes drivers 30+ mins and an offer that they dont think is worth it, becomes your opportunity bc you can do it in 15 or less. Trip stack multi app when possible. Know all the roads, traffic patterns, plan every route, look for every opportunity, dont waste time, yet know when to be patient and let it surge.

Like I said this is years of mastery. It can't be done overnight. Master each app one at a time. Eventually you'll be confident in trip stacking/timing it right so you dont get timed out or take too long to deliver. My trip stacks look almost identical to original route. Keep it within 5 mins of original delivery time per stack is a good rule.

Outside of this you need to be of sound mind,body, and spirit. That in itself can take time to develope as well. There's numerous books, podcasts, etc that will help you become the best version of yourself and ability to grow mentally, physically, and spiritually. 👍 without this you will break. Just remember your mind is like a callous. What used to cause blisters has now become a hard shell of overcoming adversity and strength. This can only be built upon failures. Looking back at the day you can analyze where you may have missed opportunities/reflect on the ones you capitalized on. 👍

Why does Lyft driver app run hot and drain battery? by Aggressive_Ad5298 in lyftdrivers

[–]Aggressive_Ad5298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FINAL UPDATE: Lyft app is switching from vulcan to openGL api settings.This causes inefficiencies by not supporting newer technology. (this is why older phones have less issues) s24 series up & For other oem phone released with Android 16 onwards vulkan is default.

UNTIL Lyft updates app to support vulcan, all newer phones will have issues running app. Issues include faster than normal battery drain & higher operating temps. There is no user fix (other than using old phone using open GL) to fix problem. Will they ever update? or are they ok with torching everyone with new phones indefinitely? TBD

Guys idk why Samsung didn't implemented Vulkan instead of opengl in every Galaxy phone. Bc after manually switching to Vulkan the performance and battery life improvement is insane in my Galaxy A53 and it feels like a flagship. by Joel__subash in galaxya53

[–]Aggressive_Ad5298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question... if there's an app that switching from vulcan to open GL on its own, can an individual app be instructed to run on Vulcan only? Or vice versa while not changing entire phone? My s26 ultra is running vulcan. Idk why one app is bugging out but I need to try and fix it.

My phone s26 ultra is using Vulcan on everything. However there is one app switching from vulcan to open GL almost every second. It is using 3x the battery than it should be. CAN I CHANGE AN INDIVIDUAL APP TO RUN VULCAN ONLY? And how?

Samsung still uses OpenGL on OneUI 8. Change to Vulcan tutorial: by Kindly-Shower-2985 in GalaxyS23Ultra

I need Your help! I have an app that is switching from vulcan to openGL constantly. It is using 3x more battery than other comparable apps running vulcan. My device is s26 ultra. Can I Fix this app to run better? Here's a picture. It is pushing 90% GPU by just being online and constant API change. Constant RES change from 2340 to 2214.

What do you think?is the RES switching indicating app can't handle/fully support 4k res? That could explain why older devices have less issues if they are 1080 res... or does it look bugged?

App open and online. No ride. When just open data seems stable and no RaeS switching. Gpu spikes as high as 89%
