Hacking Discussion sx pro and nintendo device battery

[Omer]

I bought sx pro this week and its working ok but I noticed something strange. When I powered off my device and then start it up in the other day I noticed the following
1- the nintendo device is hot as if it was on all night .
2- the battery is depleted ( if it was 70 % at night , the other day morning is about 20 or even less)
That was not happening to my device before buying the sx pro.
And before anyone say that you might not powered it off or it was in sleep mode , I'm very sure the device was off and not in sleep mode
Does anyone had the same problem with sx pro ?

I can't say I've noticed mine being hot, but in comparison to my stock Switch, the battery does seem to drain faster while on standby.

I rarely turn mine off. It just stays in sleep mode

It's a known side effect of having autorcm installed. The only way of completely powering off the console with autorcm installed is by holding the power button for like 12 seconds. Using the power off option will not fully power it off.

I tried to push the power button for 10 seconds and device was off and then again when I start it on after few hours the device was hot and the battery was depleted about 20 %

Hmm that's not normal at all. I can only recommend to try to stay on sleepmode as much as you can. The sleep mode is great on battery and doesn't use much. Also You have the option of uninstalling auto rcm on the sx menu.

Uninstall AutoRCM and just use sleep mode, My switch stays on the dock 95% of the time, i only have to crack out the jig and dongle if i have to power down to remove the SD card for any reason

Try turning the console off via the sxso menu.

I tried to use the sx menu before and it deplete the battery also ! I will uninstall the rcm .

 

[mrdude]

It's because you have enabled auto rcm, when you turn the switch off with this enabled, the switch isn't really off - it's constantly trying to boot into recovery, if you have that enabled, just put the switch into standby mode instead and then the battery won't deplete as much, due to not trying to constantly boot into recovery.

Imagine if they're doing bitcoin mining on your switch XD

Why do you need to turn it off?
Just put it to sleep...

I'm not always playing on it . And putting it to sleep will eventually drain the battery too .

then just always keep it charging when not using it

This will use up the battery and I like to not stress the battery to make it last longer.
