This may seems a ridiculous question, but after I activated visual core and reboot can I turn off developer options and the Visual Core option still stay active?
I don't know if anyone else is seeing this, but after the 8.1 update I enabled visual core and my battery life took a significant hit, pretty much what I was getting on my OG Pixel. With the P1 the max battery life was 4hrs SOT with 14-17 hrs off the charger. My P2 has gotten up to 6hrs SOT with 15-20hrs off the charger. I disabled visual core and the battery life is back to where it was before I enabled it. Anyone else seeing a battery hit after enabling visual core?
How do you mean disable visual core? If you mean the slider in developer settings for HAL etc that doesn't disable VRCore.
