  • Hi,

    I have seen a couple of posts regarding battery drain but the typical response to those seems to be along the lines of "Let the phone run for a week or two and the OS will balance out its resource use". I have been running an install of Graphene for over a month.

    I have also ran this OS last year and had zero battery problems, but I had to migrate to Calyx and stockOS for a college project.

    Returning here, my battery drain is extreme, but Calyx faced similar problems. WiFi, Mobile Data (4G), Phone idle, sometimes System (CPU) are all responsible. Even if I don't use the phone, and wifi/data are disabled - The battery will not outlast 24 hours.

    This drain seems to stop when I switch the device into Airplane mode. This drain does not occur on stockOS, and GOS installed/uninstalled makes no difference. Even after fresh installs, connectivity would drain resources.

    The screenshots attached are from a day with approx 1hr screen-on time.

    Does anyone else face this issue? Is there an app allowing me to see and measure when/how much data the phonesends somewhere? Any advice?

    Thank you.
