5.2 Battery-Saving Techniques
| Technique |
Description |
Impact |
| Movement-based recording |
Only records if moved >10m AND speed >0.5 m/s OR 60s elapsed |
Prevents stationary recording |
| Heartbeat skip |
Skips socket heartbeat when GPS stream is active |
Prevents redundant emissions |
| Batch upload |
Uploads location in batches every 2-5 min (not per-location HTTP) |
Major network battery savings |
| Background service = socket only |
Architectural rule: no GPS in background service |
Eliminates duplicate GPS listeners |
| Low priority notifications |
Background service uses Importance.low |
Minimal battery from notifications |
| Geofencing (hardware-level) |
Uses native GeofencingApi (Android) / CLRegion (iOS) |
Hardware-efficient vs continuous GPS |
| iOS optimization |
iOS does NOT run background service |
Saves iOS battery |
| Buffer limit (500 entries) |
Prevents memory buildup |
Stable memory usage |
5.3 Performance Optimization
| Technique |
Location |
Benefit |
| GetX lazyPut with fenix |
app_bindings.dart |
Heavy controllers loaded on demand |
| Image compression (70%, 1024x1024) |
upload_image.dart |
Reduces upload size & bandwidth |
| Map icon resize (120x120 in isolate) |
map_engine_controller.dart |
Reduces GPU memory pressure |
| Route response caching |
map_driver_controller.dart |
Avoids redundant API calls |
| Statistics caching (3h expiry) |
statistics_controller.dart |
Reduces network calls |
| Video list caching |
video_controller.dart |
Instant load after first fetch |
| Ride list cache (5s) |
ride_available_controller.dart |
Prevents rapid re-fetching |
| Error debouncing (1 min) |
crud.dart |
Suppresses repetitive errors |
| Connectivity check before requests |
net_guard.dart |
Prevents failed network calls |
| Socket reconnection with backoff |
Both socket controllers |
Efficient reconnection |
| Offline map caching (10km radius) |
offline_map_service.dart |
Reduces tile downloads |
| Device tier classification |
device_tier.dart, device_performance.dart |
Adjusts features for low-end devices |
| Map zoom reduction on low-end |
google_map_passenger_widget.dart |
14.5 vs 15 zoom on low-perf devices |
| WakeLock + hardware acceleration |
AndroidManifest |
Keeps app responsive |
5.4 Device Tier Classification
| Tier |
Criteria |
Behavior |
| Low |
Score ≥ 6 (old SDK, few cores, many ABIs, emulator) |
Reduced map quality, fewer animations |
| Mid |
Score ≥ 3 |
Standard experience |
| High |
Score < 3; or whitelisted flagship models (S21+, Pixel 6+, etc.) |
Full features, high-quality maps |
Detection factors: Android SDK version, CPU core count, supported ABIs, RAM (3GB threshold), processor blacklist (MT65xx, MT6735, SC77xx)
5.5 Weaknesses & Recommendations
| Issue |
Current State |
Recommendation |
| WakeLock always on |
Enabled at startup, never disabled |
Enable only during active ride |
| GPS accuracy = navigation always |
Highest accuracy even in power-save |
Use LocationAccuracy.high in power-save mode |
| No speed-based GPS adaptation |
Same polling regardless of speed |
Pause GPS when speed = 0 (stopped) |
| No Doze mode handling |
No special Android Doze handling |
Implement doze-optimized location requests |
| App size |
Large due to Flutter + many packages |
Use Android App Bundle, remove unused deps |
| Startup time |
Wakelock + Firebase + Location slow startup |
Defer non-critical init after splash |
