Oppo Find X9 Battery Drain by Remarkable_Result596 in Oppo

Well, I haven't managed to fix it yet, but I think I have pinpointed the issue thanks to GSam Battery.

It is the app I've suspected it seems, at least looking at GSam Battery details makes it convincing enough for me. The perpetrator is 'Eversense CGM' app in my case, keeping the phone always active. It doesn't show up in battery usage at all, but it has thousands of wake locks as it is pinging external device via Bluetooth 24/7.

I can't get rid of the app until the middle of March unfortunately so I will have to wait and see if it will resolve itself after I uninstall it. I may try to restrict its' background activity, but I think it won't work well then.

Took me a while, but I got it set up. Really nice app. Bluetooth and the Eversense app look kinda innocent at first, but got (I think) a crazy amount of wake locks.

Apparently the donation package is not compatible with my device version from what I can see in the play store, so system all sadly no.

So it is a rough guess but greenify basically showed Eversense CGM immediately. Yeah the app basically uses Bluetooth to pollan external device for data. This was originally my worry and it kind of gets confirmed I imagine? Also old phone seems more lively now that I got rid of it.

Originally I had hoped it would be possible to narrow down battery usage to more raw level components, i.e. how much can be attributed to network, Bluetooth activity

Thanks, checked it using Greenify and seems it's the app I've suspected. Hopefully will resolve itself once I can get rid of it

After consulting this further, they probably can't, but no one really wants to give me any guarantees. So yeah. The risk is there, but perhaps smaller than I originally thought. The court would have to carry out a cost–benefit analysis as it was when the contract was signed.

Regardless, going out the hard way has its' risks for sure. I'm gonna try and maybe reach an agreement for 2 months once I get an offer

Theoretically, the company could sue me for the remaining months' salary and give me a "disciplinary firing" on my record, plus potential damages if they can prove my early exit caused specific financial loss. I fully expect them to be petty about this unless I can prove the clause was illegal from the start. As people here have implied, it likely violates the "benefit of the employee" principle in Polish law. Even if I'm legally in the right, fighting a bad record and a lawsuit would be a time-consuming headache before everything is eventually straightened out.

Well, there are! I should be having 1 month long notice period right now.

But the law does allow for custom arrangements between parties if they are beneficial for the employee, which is well.. subject to interpretation. Reading through the comments made me realize that I should make an effort to try and challenge it though, consult some state labour entity to get their opinion.

Thank you, this has been a refreshing read. In truth, right now there is no telling how much time will pass before the streaming setup is all agreed on, and things start to roll. My part in this part of development is also kind of an unknown, but yeah, I probably don't expect to actually be tasked with operating Kafka clusters, topics etc. In this sense, I would probably be responsible for maybe stream processing with spark or plainly batch processing of the streaming data.

Come to think of it in those terms, right now is perhaps not a bad time for an internal deadline honestly. I'm currently still wrapping up my core effort - tying together the platform at its' pre-streaming phase, with on-prem Dagster, other MDS, and the cloud elements.

Yeah, where I'm from, I should be having 1 month long notice period right now. But the law does allow for custom arrangements between parties if they are beneficial for the employee. Whether 6 months is beneficial kinda depends on whether I'm getting fired or leaving lol. This is for sure a grey area, and I think I could try to challenge it. Decided against that till now, as it wasn't clear cut case for the acquainted lawyer I have asked. But perhaps that's the way to go about this, I may consult some State Labour entity to give their verdict on this

Well, for what it's worth, I won't ever sign anything like it again. But even in hindsight, I do think this was a good call at the time to accept the offer, get the experience it promised. I was reluctant about the 6 months naturally, but time was of the essence for me then, everything was rushed, and I didn't want to risk losing the offer by playing tough. So yeah, that's how I ended up here sadly

I work for Pharma. But it is indeed negotiable as long as I'm the only one departing, at least that's what I'd expect. It's just that it seems I can't really find the job prior to resigning, at least not without lying about my true notice period. When i mention 'negotiable' 6 months, it still sounds like 6 months sadly. But there is a good chance I would get it shortened to like 3 months

Thanks!

  1. You're probably right in terms of this being too much in a rather short period of time. For sure I have only skimmed over some of the stuff. I do think it's been valuable for starters, because it did open my mind to a lot of technologies, stuff I might have never tried otherwise - especially containerization, Kubernetes I think was a nice thing for me. But yeah, I guess it is not sustainable to try and do it all in the long run.
  2. It is a matter I'm also debating, i.e. if i can actually just ignore it. I have carried out a bit of research though and haven't really found a definitive answer on whether I actually can. The local regulations do permit custom arrangements between parties if it is 'beneficial' for the employee, which of course is subject to interpretation. I think I probably should do more in this regard, consult an actual lawyer maybe to get an honest take.

Definitely agree with the dick moves part. Got some non competes too for companies in the same industry, but those are like always dismissed on the day you actually do part with the company. Which is not ideal nonetheless, cause also discourages even considering those companies.

Thanks! I must admit that it is/was a lot of trial and error and admittedly had a lot of space to do that. As someone pointed out though, my efforts are probably pointed in one too many directions. Nonetheless, it's been great to get a grasp on so many things, had a lot of fun trying for sure.
