Hello everyone,
I’m experiencing a significant battery drain on my Pixel 3a running Ubuntu Touch. When Wi-Fi is enabled, the battery drops from 100% to 10% in about 6 hours. However, when I turn off Wi-Fi, the battery only drops by about 15% in the same period.
I’ve reset the phone to factory settings and tested again without installing any additional apps, but the issue persists.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any suggestions for troubleshooting?

What about my suggestion for trying telegram support channel ?
I mentioned this on the telegram channel, but there is no solution yet.

@furkanonder Can you give some context, like which version you have, is there anything that you've installed, or any app in background that does not suspend ( via UT Tweak Tool ).
Maybe try on RC ?

This issue was discussed here and as a result it was suggested that it be moved here.
@Enrico13011978 How can I get in touch with the support support group? There wasn't an issue with the original firmware.

I also think that it is not due to the Wifi. Maybe the user is in a poor mobile network (4G). This is one of the worst battery killers when the device is constantly searching for the mobile network and logging in.
Using the phone on cellular consumes less battery than using it on wi-fi.

Any background service, custom things that do data exchanges over Internet while you are on Wifi ?
A comparison test could be done by letting cellular data On instead of Wifi.
How can I monitor background services? Do you have a tool suggestion? I did the same test with cellular data and the battery drain was 35%.

Usually it is the other way around, data would cause battery drain and on wifi it would be less. Does the issue happen even if you are not connected to any WiFi access point? Is the drain then the same, or less?
I tested it without a Wi-Fi access point connected, and the battery consumption was really low. It was roughly 15 percent.
