I keep having my phone completely drained of battery over night, and im not sure why… Each night the phone will easy chew through 30-40% battery. Only thing that helps is putting it in battery saving mode. But feels like a temporary solution.
The second most used app is at 7% percent usage.
Am running GrapheneOS, anyone else struggling with this?

It’s a known issue with tailscale. It drains my battery pretty bad as well. I had to opt for wireguard for remote access instead.
Ah that’s a shame, I love using Tailscale 🙁
I’m on Graphene too and I once read that the modems used in Pixel phones are pretty trashy and drain a ton of battery. If I filter my battery usage by system, it shows that network standby almost consumes half of my battery charge (~46%).
Maybe the other guy here is right and it’s a VPN issue (too)? idk. Anyway, I didn’t really found a solution for this except leaving my phone on airplane mode at night.
Tbf Tensors suck ass
Ah thanks for pointing that out, I did the same and see that my Mobile Network usage stands for 68% of my battery usage… Yikes!
Well, it has to run in the background. That said I haven’t noticed a significant uptick in battery consumption. The battery consumption you see might be from something else.
I wonder what causes it really, didn’t use to happen, but seem to be a common problem for many.
Could be anything. What I do to reduce the possibility of some app going haywire in the background, I restrict background usage to all apps that I’m sure I don’t need to run in the background. Obviously Tailscale isn’t one of them because I need it. 😅 Also I started using Shelter to put untrusted apps like WhatsApp into a work profile and completely disable them when not in use. I haven’t had many battery drain incidents since then.
This seems to be a normal issue with VPN apps on Android, they drain battery like crazy
Both protonvpn and mullvad are at 1% for a day. Y’all stop using crappy vpns.
