AutoRCM Power management routine

[greyfux]

[FONT=&quot]Hello guys![/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]So I've read several posts over the internet regarding the autoRCM battery drainage and just wanted to compare notes with the forum on what would be the best way to avoid the dreadful autoRCM dead battery scenario![/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]From what I could gather around in order to proper shut down the device you should:[/FONT]

• Select the Power off option from OS and then hold power button for 15 sec
• Power off option from OS and leave a dongle/Pc/mobile connected for 12+ secs
• Reboot to SX OS/Hekate payload and use the Power Off option from there
• Only dock when the device is ON or when in Sleep mode (never when it's Power off state)

[FONT=&quot]And if you ever find yourself with a dead battery you should plug in the charger then hold the power button 12+ secs and wait.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Could you please share your knowledge, habits and maybe confirm the bullet points I've shared in this post ?[/FONT]



[FONT=&quot]Thanks in advance![/FONT]

I personally use AutoRCM, and have ran the console dead many times, and have never had an issue with turning it on to charge. You just have to be quick about it. EG, plug into a computer, launch hekate. then plug in the actual charger, then boot the stock, or what ever custom firmware. The battery will charge just fine. This is just my experience.As for the power off option, horizon flips a bit on shutdown, and basically resets the device. then when boot0 starts if that bit is set it shuts down the console. With autoRCM it reboots to RCM, hince why hekate has the auto off hos patch for internal mod chips. This is also why it is recommended to shutdown from hekate, or hold the power button for 12 seconds after power off in horizon.
