but it has to do with what you said and i'm responding to that
''Also, to the people arguing about autorcm and battery life.. if you actually understand what autorcm is you would know that it's idiotic to suggest it could have any effect while in Horizon. The only time it drains battery is when people don't know how to turn the power off properly.''
Yes, and if you weren't so hell bent on always arguing with everyone then you would realise that I was actually agreeing with you on that point.

and if you did read what I said then you would have known me saying it could be because the battery is dying much faster because of autorcm having the switch always turned on seeing it doesn't turn off completely doing the force shutdown from Horizon.
It has been reported force shutdown doesn't work all the time when using autorcm doing it from horizon seeing it boots back in to RCM after doing that
Off-topic then. These tests are about battery life while playing, not while being in RCM vs powered off. That's why I suggested that they need to remove AutoRCM in order to do fair tests.

The thread is about battery going down faster while using autorcm so what I said is still valid for this thread. What I said could play a factor so stop please by saying it isn't valid for this thread while it def is

OP:
"I ran both machines at exactly the same time, with all settings exactly the same. Max brightness."
So this test is just about playing and battery life. Not about battery life in general while using AutoRCM.

Geeeeeee ur aah. The thread is about battery drainage in autorcm mode. The OP noticed his switch wich was in AUTORCM mode being drained much faster of power compared to his other switch wich was in OFW. My point is seeing that shutting down from horizon doing the manual force shutdown not completely turning off your switch could be degrading the battery much faster seeing it is always turned on and could be the reason why he saw his switch in autorcm being drained much faster then the switch running OFW. How is that so difficult for you to get ????????????????????????????? It has EVERYTHING to do with this thread !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do I need to make a kindergarten drawing with 2 switch consoles for you to get that simple concept ????

Yea. Those 12 secs are the force shut down. And you can do it from RCM and horizon too. Just hold power button for 12+ seconds.
i tried this but sadly it still kept autorcm for me, because the battery drained as if it was on the entire time.

i tried it from both switch interface being on and from tx os boot menu, held power for 20+ second.

i wanted to boot it off for a while since i constantly keep it in sleep mode.

but then again i dont mind autorcm at all because i don't want to keep using the tin foil method (and even if i had a jig, i wouldn't want to keep rely on that either.)

best is just to keep autorcm enabled. (while it's in sleep mode there are zero battery issues.)

only if you power it off and think it's off while it's actually on that's why it drains the battery (it's literally on when you have autorcm enabled).


and the findings in that thread is that it doesn't work !!!! It boots back in to RCM after a while after doing that when using Autorcm. The only way people found it it works on that thread is letting it boot in to RCM and then doing the manually force shutdown from there. Doing it from horizon doesn't work !!! It goes back in to RCM after a while when doing it that way. The general gist of it, want to turn of your switch while using autorcm is doing it from RCM mode and if you don't want to do it like that then don't use autorcm
oh now i get it..
so after we power it off from horizon, then we think it's off but it's in autorcm, can we THEN hold power again for 10+sec and it'll then rly power off?
i haven't tried this!

but would i have to use jig/foil after doing that full power off?

Yes, from RCM power it off. And you won't need jig, if you have AutoRCM. That's the reason why it exists. Also, there is a option in SX OS to turn the switch of from there.

This "AutoRCM draining battery faster" myth is getting annoying.

I have one brand new switch in box without AutoRCM and I have one with AutoRCM that I use daily. It seems that the AutoRCM one needs more charges...

Please end this myth or proof your claim by showing us some real tests.

Changing the boot file of my windows does not effect my laptop battery in any way!

he can yeah. But it's best for him to do the force shutdown from RCM. that way he'll be sure 100 percent that it is turned off
thanks will do, I'll need to try it out.
just wanted to make sure that autorcm still sticks Even with a full power off.

cause i dont want to use a foil jig again, i like autorcm enabled.

It's not a myth. The battery could be dying faster seeing that RCM mode use the battery a lot since we just found out doing a force shutdown from horizon doesn't work and boots your switch in to RCM again so because of that OP could see his switch draining faster compared to his official firmware switch wich uses the battery less seeing it completely shuts down everytime

Nobody is saying that AutoRCM drains the battery faster. We are saying that leaving your Switch in RCM will drain the battery.

Well, you said it. The switch is not turned off and because of that it uses battery. Force shutdown fixes this issue.

Oke, my mistake. I have seen many people claim "AutoRCM drains the battery faster".
Nah autorcm doesn't do that but autorcm could be the reason the battery degrading much faster seeing it was in RCM mode a lot of times while the OP thought it was shut off but in reality it wasn't
