Since a few days ago, I started having issues with boot times - my Walkman is set to turn off automatically and it now takes 1-2 minutes for it to boot. Most of the time the Walkman is stuck on the SONY logo; the Android/Walkman logo and Walkman slogan follow rather quickly. I did install some additional software (Syncthing, Pano Scrobbler, Tasker) so I am not totally concerned, but wanted to check how common is this.
Mine is relatively new, about a week now I've had this thing, but it boots a lot faster once I got rid of the suggested Google apps and services among other performance enhancement.
Actually a lot of the processes got much faster, I knew I'd see a difference, but it runs significantly smoother and scanning my 1TB SD Card through Power Amp is also relatively speedy whenever I add some new albums into the library.
I use all those apps except Syncthing but maybe there's an app or process during the boot that is slowing down, but which one?
I'm not too familiar with Tasker so I was actually curious if anyone was familiar on how intensive of an app it was on battery life. I only installed it because I wanted to bypass many of the obnoxious safety functions added to prevent high volume use.
On that note, I was wondering if anyone had any screenshots/videos or are able to share links to tasker projects regarding how to work around volume limit warnings for Bluetooth? I haven't encountered the issue as of yet today, but I wasn't aware the one task I saw online to turn off the volume warning check only applied to the auxiliary input and not Bluetooth.
Feel free to judge but I use airpods when I'm at work to keep myself sane so I generally rely on Bluetooth a majority of my listening time. I was a tad frustrated to see I still got the popup window, but I saw there was a workaround for tasker to automatically close the window. I feel both tech and regular illiterate so I don't know if I followed the proper steps for it to work, I'll find out later today if it did or didn't but in any case I'm still curious to hear people's solutions to this issue or if you've just learned to suck it up and deal with them for the time being.
Sorry for my first post being so long, regardless I've been lurking on this site on and off for years so the help and information from here, and this thread ofc, have been helpful.
