So it seems that there is another way to prevent battery drain -> instead of doing a full format, connect the Switch to Ninja Servers and accept the EULA stuff from first Nintendo Account connection attemp, right?
Do you know whether is there any tutorial to do so?
You can't do that without risking a ban, unless you never did anything the Ninjas wouldn't approve of (and if that was the case, you wouldn't have the drain issue to begin with, since you could just let it go online normally).
So, the real solution to this drain issue is to:
First of all, back up any saves you care about, with JKSV, DBI, or whatever you use. Do it now. If you aren't doing that regularly already, you probably should.
Then, start from a clean OFW, update that to 20.x, let it call home once (just to appease the Ninjas, no need to link an account if you don't need to).
Finally, create a new emuNAND from that, reinstall your stuff, and restore any saves you want to keep.
Everything else (airplane mode, turning wifi off, changing config settings...) are just workarounds, not a solution.

This is the «correct» solution. but only is possible if you have a CLEAN OFW if you do not have one you will be banned, also if you console is banned this solution might not work.
There are 14 setting to be changed. That's insane. I bet not all of them are necessary.
Perhaps somebody with the right equipment could test one by one to find out a minimal configuration.

It's been a long time since I've updated my cfw. What's a good one? v20.1.5? I'm getting my v1 switch ready for Pokemon. The only apps I really care about are cheats, and the ones to update. I also don't remember how to do it lol, what files and is there a tutorial. Also I don't care about online (well somewhat since I do use wireless controllers ). I also saw there's a fix for battery drain, how can I do that too

Thanks, what about the apps? I don't remember the cheats overlay ones and Im confused about the battery drain fix. Like I don't know how to do it for my V1.
You and almost all of us, in summary what I know is:
Big N put a new EULA on their firmware and you need to connect to ninja servers to accept it. but if you *NAND is isolated from N servers, your console never go to sleep and try to connect all times to that servers while on sleep, wasting your battery and keeping your console hot. there is only two ways to avoid that:
Starting over from a clean NAND which can be upgraded to FW20+ accept the new EULAS and then create a new EmuNAND copying it. but you need a clean no banned OFW for that.
putting a set of lines on the SDMC:/atmosphere/config/system_settings.ini file to avoid the console try to connect to network while on sleep.
This was handled by Tesla before, today tesla was replaced by Ultrahand.

I don't remember all of them. But the one I can think of is the cfw c something app to update the cfw.
Ok so I'll add that and figure out how to turn it on mod game to see cheats and enable/disable them.
Oh yeah that. Well I do think I added the line in the setting file but since I'll be updating to 20 I I guess I'll make sure it's there so the system doesn't overheat (I'm not wanting to replace the battery since I rarely use it).
I messaged on the thread you linked. I need to refind that battery fix so can copy/paste it on the right section.
Several ways come to mind:
- The headphone jack on the console should still output audio, even while docked, - A cheap HDMI extractor can get analog audio (or even digital, depends on the adapter) from the HDMI out, - a USB audio card that supports UAC 1 or claims to be compatible with Switch should work with the USB ports of the dock.
However, for all those, you need wired active speakers (or earphones) and you might as well plug them into the jack on the TV.
Then, there's also Bluetooth, but the audio might be a bit laggy.
Just discovering that this issue wasn't caused by my console's battery being too old or something lmao
But I see that some people need to have a clean nand ? Is that because their emunand was the clean one ? I don't really understand if I'm risking something right now. My emunand is dirty, my sysnand is clean (even tho I can sometimes boot atmosphere on it, but nothing too crazy besides save backups and menu themes, still not banned). What I understand is that booting into that sysnand with atmosphere and those things enabled is risky ? Usually I just update that sysnand officially (and my emunand with daybreak)
