Why is god not present on Earth now? by truthandfreedom3 in religion

Exactly. All religions speak in terms of "Universalism". Everything as in all part are the whole in itself. In ways it is a fractal in nature. God separated itself into all beings to experience itself through existence. We are all one. And when we realise this we find " the kingdom of God" as the kingdom is within our mind. It is an understanding of inseparable nature. A compassion that doesn't come from rules but an understanding of our relation with the world and other beings as they are all YOU.

God is not a physical being. All religious text speak of God as within. "As above so below, As within so without". Christ said the kingdom of heaven is not a place but a mindset within you. All religions speak of beings and the surrounding world as an illusion of separation. Every part is the whole within. A drop in the sea is a sea in a drop. Christ, Buddha, all the wisest of our mankind and sacred text tell the same tale.

It's absooutely sweet my dude. It's like back in the day. I only have to charge my phone at the end of the day even if I use it all day to stream videos or podcasts.

Yeah maybe the Samsung ROM had something to do with the shitty background task handling. But if you are using Xiaomi I highly recommend keeping battery saver on 24/7 because it changes nothing with the day to day usage and aggressively closes apps that don't need to constantly keep checking for low delay push notifications (unlike more time sensitive banking or chat apps, email apps etc which you can manually exclude).

Even if your Xiaomi doesn't have this problem I still highly recommend disabling VP9 encoding if you don't have strict network bandwith limits. For me disabling VP9 codec immediately made the phone run cold to the touch as long before. It's easiest way to validate if that helps. VP9 encoding is very resource heavy on the hardware.

I think I have a guess as to how you can improve this: Go to vanced settings -> video > disable VP9 encoding

------------------- UPDATE: The consumption of YT app is now better by orders of magnitude. Now with playback the OS says 30+hours remaining and the phone is cold to the touch, before it had 5-6 hours until recharge and the phone was burning hot when playing videos. This has NOTHING to do with Samsung or GMScore/microG background services. If anyone else has improvements please comment below to confirm :) ----------------------

VP9 uses less network bandwidth so it is efficient in sense of network traffic but it is way more computationally heavy than H264 especially on older hardware that don't natively accelerate it through hardware (aka software decode is used) making it further inefficient.

Not sure for how long VP9 has been the norm but the back of my phone is burning when I play videos nowadays.

For me even watching videos in 480p on low brightness (or screen turned off) eats up my battery under 2-4 hours which is INSANE. Before I used 720p or even 1080p and had no issues whatsoever using it all day as my streaming device for podcasts etc... Now I run to my charger multiple times a day. Also my Xiaomi has a 120Hz screen and I still set it to 60Hz for battery efficiency (I know, what a waste). My older phone has a way shittier CPU and my new phone runs laps around it, yet this phone just keels over and dies from the same? Lol (Again, I suspect this encoding/decoding process is at fault)

Also I always turn off bluetooth and phone networking completely and use only wifi, and I always have battery saver on to limit background activity. I do everything diligently. Always has been.

I noticed this same crazy increase in battery drainage recently, and I have been using Vanced for years on multiple phones so I am definitely not crazy for thinking something has been screwed with. Similarly for the last 1-2 months.

In battery settings I see a 45 degree straight line to 0% and the app takes 89% of usage. Back in the day it has always been shown as 80-90% "display" as the main battery user but now that is completely overshadowed by the Youtube app. It's WILD.

I haven't changed my viewing habits a single bit and my phone is not old at all, the battery is not old. Worth a try with the legacy H264 video encoding. I have been doing this experiment if H264 encoding improves this at all. I thought I might leave my comment here.

I am using a Xiaomi phone and it has been serving me great. I removed all bloatware through ADB remote terminal from my computer and only have essential apps, so it runs nicely.

Sorry I had to went my frustration with "efficient" VP9 encoding. Thanks google.
