For #linuxmobile / #postmarketos / #mobian etc. folks: there's a rather beginner friendly task to improve battery life for qcom devices like the #oneplus6, #pixel3a etc. by making sure sensors are idle when not needed.
If you have some spare cycles, motivation, basic C literacy (or want to learn it) and know how to build and deploy/test a package with pmbootstrap (or want to learn it) - this one could be for you.
The details are here: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/2455#note_453587

@rmader I've been working on that together with Dylan, in theory it really is almost no work. Problem is that there is some weird GLib threading related bug in libssc or libqmi where things break when sensor_open() is not called right after sensor_new(), and I haven't managed to figure that out.

@rmader So yeah, in theory all that is needed is https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/verdre/iio-sensor-proxy/-/commit/74a5860474b6e79cd6e3be13d1ff8dd9cd810b8b
