  • As explained in the Settings > Battery > Charging optimization description below the toggle, the device will occasionally need to charge to 100% in order to recalibrate estimated battery capacity. The recalibration seemingly didn’t work before Android 15 QPR2 but has been fixed. For most users with this feature enabled, you’re due for a recalibration which will happen after updating to the latest GrapheneOS releases based on QPR2. 2025030700 will be reaching the Stable channel soon. Once it reaches 100%, it needs to be allowed to stay there for a bit to truly reach full battery charge. The shield icon showing charging bypass is active will appear. After the shield appears, it will go back to not charging the battery above 80% again. Since it has charging bypass, it won’t start dropping from 100% much until you unplug it since it’s directly powered from the charging cable as usual.

    Many people were confused by this with the stock Pixel OS after updating to Android 15 QPR2 and believed the feature wasn’t working anymore. We decided to get ahead of the confusion and make a post explaining it before it reaches Stable today.

    I hope this answers your comment.




















  • This release adds an opt-in GrapheneOS network location client providing location detection based on nearby Wi-Fi networks using a local trilateration algorithm run on the device. It fetches a list of nearby Wi-Fi networks from Apple’s location service either directly or through a GrapheneOS proxy.

    It currently only has a very basic approach to altitude estimation which we’ll be properly integrating into the trilateration algorithm in the near future.

    It currently only uses Wi-Fi networks but we’ll be extending it with support for using cell towers as a fallback in the near future.

    We’re in the process of building our own network location database based on scraping all of the cell tower and Wi-Fi data from Apple’s service. Scraping all the cell tower data is quick and will be easy to keep rapidly updated. A contributor scraped more than 2 billion Wi-Fi APs over 3 months.

    This data isn’t copyrightable and Apple freely offers it without requiring authentication. It will be the initial basis for our database, but we’ll add other sources including an option to send us data from GrapheneOS devices. We’ll provide database downloads to support offline network location.
