Background usage and battery problems

acutebee

Lately I'm having serious issues with my Pixel battery running Graphene from the stable branch. It's probably an issue from my side and I'm thinking of resetting the phone.

My battery drain is insane, apps like Camera using 21% with 1 minute of screen time and 31 minutes of background, Revolut using 16% with 1h39min of background usage while the app is apparently closed and so on. I'm not sure which setting should I switch or if this is the intended usage, but going from 80% to 66% in just 14 minutes of screen time seems a bit steep.

What can I do to fix this issue, besides resetting the phone?

acutebee Are you connected to 4G/5G or Wifi? I experienced much improvements when switching to Wifi only. But yeah, there have been a lot of reports of unexpectedly high battery consumption lately.

ryrona I'm on Wifi pretty much all the time, very light screen time, no games, no social media, mostly using Whatsapp, Telegram and Brave. Spotify and Auxio in the background for music.

I just switched to PixelOS to see if my battery is damaged and not at all, battery is really good in the stock os, I debloated everything that I don't need with Universal Debloat Tool and it's working great. Devs keep saying that battery on GOS should be better than stock, but what I am experiencing this is not the case.

If anyone is having battery issues I would recommend to make the switch untill the issue is fixed. GOS is amazing but the usability in the day to day life is crucial.
