Small draining test

Kong

I performed a small battery draining test few days ago.
I did it with Pixel 9 with original Graphene OS checked with Auditor app.

My new Pixel was bought 2 months ago.
During the test I was using following background nonsys apps:

Obtainium
Molly
Tuta
Accrescent
Breezy Weather

I turned on Pixel at 8:22 and the battery percentage was 64%, after 24 hours battery level decreased to 37%. During the test display was turned off, I did not check anything on the phone.
WiFi and 5G were enabling.

Can someone explain me why the battery draining is so intense?

Molly
Tuta
Accrescent
Breezy Weather

Reiterate the same test, but fully disable one of the five apps, reiterate again with another one disabled, and so on.

And Molly can be set up with UnifiedPush for better battery. Instead of 5G, try 4G/LTE only.

You can set to restricted battery usage & update when you open

Kong Molly

There should be an overview in battery system settings settings

Kong Accrescent

needs nearly zero battery

Kong Tuta

& Weather check settings for the notification interwalls.

LTE only / LTE mode should save a lot of battery also.

He could also just look in the battery statistics

@Novalissoide your solution is very difficult to me, because I am not in a position not to use my phone for 5 days. Pixel is my only phone.

My Obtainium checks updates every 6 hours, I think it is not killing battery.
Weather app updates every 30 minutes.

I have just set LTE, replacing 5G. In my version of GOS I can't not find 4G.

two things, through personal experience leap out as battery killers,

Molly if you use websocket
5G

Molly, would consume 30% of total battery in 24 hours, just maintaining the connection to the server with few messages, I just deleted Molly, not wanting to use G@@gle play services etc.

5G, I changed the modem to 4G preferred.
Check your current phone connections via, settings > about phone >SIM status > and check that mobile voice and mobile data are both the same. Both mine are 4G, when my phone showed 5G on the home screen it was in reality 4g for phone and NR NSA for data (5G), so my modem was using several protocols at once to provide a service and killing battery consumption.

It depends. Is not as bad for me at the moment for me. There's also Unified Push (once it is repaired)

Novalissoide

Kong can't not find 4G.

Thats regional. LTE=4G.

Kong I have just set LTE, replacing 5G. In my version of GOS I can't not find 4G.

That should help.

Kong Obtainium checks updates every 6 hours

Look at the battery states in a few days. I had problems with rate limiting and or battey usage.

Let us know how it works out.

Kong

I started with 74% at 8:18 the same test, after 24 hours I got 49% with LTE now.

Kong

I performed next draining test, from 100% to 81% in 24 hours.

Battery usage section shows:

Molly 18%
Tuta 14%
Obtainium 8%
Launcher < 1%
Accrescent < 1%
Breezy Weather < 1%
System Apps 60%

Why system drains so much? Is it normal?

Kong ed next draining test, from 100% to 81% in 24 hours.

Thats ok.

Kong Obtainium 8%

You can reduce to 1% without backgroun usage.

Kong Why system drains so much? Is it normal?

Ya.
I'm guessing there are 100-200 system apps.

So divide up 60% between 200 apps.

I'm guessing you didnt have much screen time or anything intensive like a video or video game.

Se we are comparing sips of background usage. Your apps that you listed are comparable to a hundred system apps sipping a little background usage to keep your phone alive.

When I haven't been using my phone, tuta is 40% usage.
