Stopwatch doesn't need to run in the background, all it needs is to capture the start time and put it in a file somewhere, then when you open up the stopwatch app just display a difference between stored time and the time now.

[–]Krissam 115 points116 points ago

Came here to ask if that really affected the batterylife, because that would be hilarious.

[–]Solkre 179 points180 points ago

Instead of just using time stamps. The Apple Stopwatch runs an entire universe in simulation to gauge the most accurate time.

I think it actually downloads several angles of HD video of an atomic clock and analyzes it in to provide the most accurate timing.

    [–]DoWhile 4 points5 points ago

    The OP was trying to show that the device was experiencing time dilation. He started that stopwatch an hour ago!

    [–]Mardoxx 7 points8 points ago

    That's not exactly how it works... but similar. Start time is stored in RAM, when you open stopwatch it just takes the diff between current time and stored time.

    The timer is always running, however.

    w/e, I'm wrong

    [–]blinkingm 9 points10 points ago

    Yes, I was simplifying things. If it's in the RAM, than an instance of the program will need to be always there to keep the info in RAM alive, but all these may be integrated in the OS.

    Just to clarify, the timer is a system timer, that is used by everything, not just the stopwatch. Running stopwatch in the background should have negligible effect on battery life.

    [–]sixothree 0 points1 point ago

    Do you know this from experience on how you would do it, or do you know this from decompiling the stopwatch?

    How does the stopwatch account for leap seconds?

    [–]doesnotexist1000 -1 points0 points ago

    Is that how apple's stopwatch works or are you using your CS background to guess? Because if its the former, I'd think OP changed his phone's date for this post.

    Unless apple accounts for date-changing in stopwatch

    [–]QinGu9221 12 points13 points ago

    I just tried it on my iPhone, changing the date messes the stopwatch. I changed the date to today 2014 and it was over 17.5 thousand hours of running time in a few seconds.

    I'm on to you OP.

    [–]equites 0 points1 point ago

    What happens when you cross timezones?

    [–]QinGu9221 0 points1 point ago

    I haven't tried yet.

    [–]blinkingm 0 points1 point ago

    I just guessing.

    Intrigued by your logic tho, tried it on my Android, didn't work. Seems like it's using ticks instead of time. Ticks is a counter that starts when pc is turned on and it keeps increasing and each tick correspond to a standard unit of time.

    edit: 1 tick = 1ms

    [–]Sintacks 3 points4 points ago

    it's not ticks, because the timer keeps going after a reset. and even after an iOS upgrade. a friends of mine has had the timer running for three years.

    I'm pretty sure blinkingm has it right

    [–]blinkingm 2 points3 points ago

    That's interesting, and Android reset will reset the Stopwatch as well, which was why I thought it used ticks. If iOS is using time, then changing date and time should affect the stopwatch, unless it has some other time keeping function.

    [–]Aaron_Durant 0 points1 point ago

    Went to try this out on my iPod touch I haven't used in ages. Found I have actually had a timer running for 11760 hours...

      It's not in the RAM though, because it lasts through a reboot.

      [–]Jethren 1 point2 points ago

      Even lasts though an OS upgrade.

      [–]Jethren 0 points1 point ago

      Well, it also has to use a bit of the stored file, because my phone (iPhone 4, not a 4s) will pick right back up on the timer after having been shut down and turned back on. My timer is almost up to 2 years now. In that time the phone has been turned off many times, also persisted through OS upgrades.

        Yeah. To add an anecdote, I did this very same thing recently and did not notice any difference in my battery life.

        [–]CptSpiffyPanda 0 points1 point ago

        I swear my samsung go phone is not smart enough to do that. Although the program in question is a timer not a stop watch. It use more power then the alarm clock. It should just add an alarm to the alarm clock when not actively being looked at, but i pretty sure it runs in the background.

        This was discussed on reddit before. I think it has something to do with how iphones tell the time. I don't remember why, but the iphone counts the seconds from this specific time back in the 70's. I don't remember the significance of the date either. If someone knows what I'm talking about or can find that thread please let me know because this is going to bother me.

        [–]alexmuller 1 point2 points ago

        A lot of computers count time as the number of seconds elapsed since the 1st of January 1970: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

        [–]admisaok 0 points1 point ago

        That's what I was thinking of, thanks!

        [–]ibjanhenrik 1 point2 points ago

        Unix machines count their time by calculating the number of seconds that have passed since January 1, 1970. It's possible that through the upgrade processes, the original start time for your stop watch was not transferred. So, it did the next best guess and decided the start time was the beginning of all computer time.

            haha I actually reformatted my iPod at one point and for some reason it went back to a later date, deleting many of my usual 300 hour laps, but still acted as if the stopwatch had run the whole time. I was so happy when I checked it and saw that it hadn't erased, and I got to save that nice big number.

            Well actually I've only kept the same backup, not phone. In fact, this timer originally started on a first gen iPod touch (I think, but I'm not 100% sure). As I've upgraded the time has kept going up and up.

            [–]brittlewater 42 points43 points ago

            You need a new battery if a stop watch app is responsible for draining all your juice. I forget to turn off my personnel hotspot and the battery doesn't drain much.

            [–]daspader 0 points1 point ago

            The Radios or hung processes are what use all the power. A lot of junk email or updates will add constant drain. The timer doesn't 'run', it just measures the difference on the clock, so should not use any power when closed.

            [–]NotaMethAddict 16 points17 points ago

            I don't think this is it. You can close out of the clock app and it will continue running, without taking up battery life.

            More than likely you're leaving apps running without realizing it.

            [–]TheClaw117 1 point2 points ago

            Leaving apps running how? How would you close these apps?

            [–]NotaMethAddict 10 points11 points ago

            Double click the home button and all of your running apps will show up. Hold down and then close out of all the ones you don't want up.

            [–]Pandoma 12 points13 points ago

            So I've pretty much been having all my apps running since I first got my phone? Wow.

            [–]IceTrAiN 12 points13 points ago

            If I understand correctly though, most of those apps are just saved states and not actually "running". The only time they are running in the background is if the app was designed to have a background process, which it should be pretty evident if that's the case. For example, TeamViewer(remote desktop app) will stay connected in the background for a short period of time.

            [–]PurpleSfinx 2 points3 points ago

            No, it's bullshit. iOS freezes apps when you exit them unless they specifically ask to do something in the background for a good reason. It also purges them from RAM when it needs more. You don't need to worry about it, except in cases where one specific app is behaving badly, like a GPS navigation app that's still checking your position all the time after you've arrived.

            Same thing happened to me. It was at 2789:51:07 when I finally stopped it today (had a speech I needed to time myself for). I knew it had been going since around 1500, but left it on for the lulz. Only realized recently that it would be messing with my battery.

            [–]ThePureawesomness 0 points1 point ago

            Really? The same thing happened to me. Your speech wouldn't possibly happen to have been for the Voice of Democracy contest would it?

            [–]MarcusVWario 0 points1 point ago

            No, it was an informative speech for a GE class.

            I'm on 3630:39 right now and I haven't noticed any change to battery life.

            The first 1 percent lasts about six hours and after that it goes down about a percent every minute. Ridiculous.

            Are you sure? I always leave mine on and battery is fine. It's kind of nice, opening the clock up and seeing how long ago it was that I started cooking.

            Had a friend who's iPod glitched and it turned out (for some reason) to have 36,000+ hours on it...

            Hands up how many of us have worrisome battery life and just went and checked their stopwatch to make sure it hasn't been running for the past year.

            [–]reedyp 1 point2 points ago

            Did anyone else check to see if their stopwatch had been running after seeing this?

            Doesn't mess with battery life. My friend has one going for 5+ years.... until iOS6 came out and removed it... depressing.

            [–]DashingLeech 0 points1 point ago

            This is one of the reasons I much prefer the Blackberry PlayBook OS 2.0 over both iOS and Android. It more easily shows you everything that is running that you personally opened.

            Yes, I know you can check on iOS and Android; the PlayBook just lets you see and switch on the fly and much more obviously on the home screen. On my Android phone I've gotten in the habit of checking the Task Manager for running apps before putting it away which is a bit of an annoyance.

            [–]CaptainTristan 0 points1 point ago

            That's almost a year. You should have kept it running.

            [–]tonny23 0 points1 point ago

            Because you have an iPhone?

            [–]BenFreakinFranklin 0 points1 point ago

            Double tapping the home button will pop up a shelf at the bottom that has all currently running apps. Holding down one of the apps will make them wiggle, enabling you to close the apps from running in the background. Have fun with all your battery life!

            The real reason it's dying so fast is iCloud. Seriously, that fucking program drained my battery, hogged all my bandwidth, and sucked up all my phone's resources. It's like an Apple certified virus for your phone.

            [–]Verus_Amicus 0 points1 point ago

            In my experience, no matter what kind of phone it is (android/apple), the biggest thing that eats battery is having the gps on all the time.

            So I had over 10,000 hours built up on mine, but then I upgraded to iOS6. Saddest day of my life.

            me too! 14000 hours. Hadn't checked it for a couple weeks and i upgraded to iOS6.. Realized a couple days later and cried. Should have taken a picture..

            Wow....a picture of a stopwatch that was left running makes it to the front page. A new low for Reddit.

            [–]Falroy -1 points0 points ago

            No, it has gone lower. But it is funny that the fact his phone dies quickly because of something he never expected, when he found out it was his stopwatch that ran for 7000 hours, its was weird because it had been one for 700 fucking hours. Thats why it made it to the front page, I think.

            [–]3danimator 0 points1 point ago

            Thank you for explaining it. I had undersatood why it went to the front page, but thank you nonetheless.

            My point is that Reddit is fast becoming the dumping ground for pics of any old shit
