  • insane battery drain in latest version

Prior to 2022122700 I had great battery life. Since updating i'm noticing insane battery drain. I was 100% 3 hours ago and now i'm at 64%. That was with 90% idle. The battery settings page isn't showing all the numbers correctly or is missing entries. If I add them up it says 22% was used but 100-64 is 36%.

    Same thing happened to me about a month ago. I started disabling some apps that were running in the background. Turns out Element was using up a lot of battery, but the battery usage panel in settings didn't show Element as using a lot of battery.

    I'd check apps that are running with a persistent notification or those that show up in active apps. Try disabling them one at a time temporarily to see if they're the culprit.

    i think there were no changes that could affect battery life. still have 48h+ runtime.

    I recently upgraded from 6A to Pixel 7. Turns out Signal was now a battery hog.

    Other comments here suggest to me that its communications causing radio activity that is the battery suck.

    Is radio (cell, wifi) use properly profiled and reported? And is that as part of each app or is the battery use CPU only for the app?
