Games will eat what you give them. This profile starves everything else during a session — sync, background apps and notifications — then puts it all back the moment you quit.
Weak signal makes your modem shout. These MacroDroid radio rules spot poor coverage, lean on Wi-Fi where it helps, and stop the quiet overnight hunt for a tower.
Every battery tip deserves a test, including ours. A rigorous-but-simple benchmarking method for MacroDroid users: baselines, controls, and honest conclusions.
Fifteen seconds is too short for reading and too long for a phone face-down in a meeting. Orientation-aware timeouts in MacroDroid, done cleanly.
Bluetooth idles cheaply but not freely, and discoverability has a privacy angle too. The delayed-off pattern that waits for stragglers before switching off.
Fast charging plus heat is the fastest way to age a battery. A spoken warning at the right temperature, once per session, with thresholds that make sense.
