      I've found the cause of the increased battery drain on Wi-Fi.

      Clear the list of saved Wi-Fi connections:
      Go to Wi-Fi -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Saved Networks and tap “Forget” next to all the networks. Then reconnect to your home Wi-Fi network. After that, battery drain in standby mode will return to a minimum of < 2% per hour.

      Did that and it seems to work. Battery drain is in normal levels again. Weird quirk, though...

      swipe-up, too, is already reserved for app-specific functions

      @gpatel-fr
      Hi, thanks for the reply.
      It was a new device purchased from Amazon.
      Not pre-owned nor refurbished.
      I recall the battery drainage to have been more consistent on previous releases.

      I'm sorry if by abbreviating my story, some details might have been lost.
      About two weeks ago I tried to make the Fairphone with Ubuntu Touch my daily driver, and I had consistent battery drainage then, similar to what @otadr described.
      As I need some Android Apps for work, I tried to live with waydroid for some time, but ultimately decided against it.
      Wednesday last week I went on a flashing spree which led me from LineageOS via /e/OS to IodeOS and back to Ubuntu Touch, just in time for the 24.04-1.3.
      I did not observe this battery drainage on the previous Ubuntu Touch release, nor on the other ROMs.

      Cheers

      @OtaDr I actually do have the feeling that the battery indicator is not very relyable anymore.
      I mean, see screenshot, how is this normal?
      It charges from about 50% to 100% in a straight vertical line, discharges normally over night, then randomly decides to discharge quicker? Mind you, I didn't use this phone at all throughout the day, it was just lying on my desk...

    • RE: What is a normal battery usage in UT / FP4 ?

      Hi there,

      is it supposed to look like this?
      I didn't use the phone throughout the day.
      Fairphone 4, 24.04-1.3

      Thanks

      Hi there,

      I'm new here. I view myself as a user, not a developer, but I want to try and do my fair share to contribute. I got myself a Fairphone 4 back in December and flashed it with Ubuntu Touch and played around a bit, tried some other Custom ROMs, placed it in a drawer, forgot about it... long story short, I got the Fairphone 4 out of the drawer again last week and flashed it with the latest stable release again, that being this here 24.04-1.3

      Now I observed a few bugs I wanted to share, some of them already mentioned here, some not.

      • I can confirm the empty signal strength triangle. From a user's perspective, I'd not call this cosmetic, as it is highly confusing.
      • I can confirm the empty release channel. It is a strange kind of fluke. I took a screenshot 5 minutes ago, however, now I cannot reproduce it and all release channels are displayed properly?
      • I can confirm the Bluetooth slider in the battery menu not having an effect.

      That's about what I recall from the discussion here. Now to my very own bugs.

      • Battery drops from fully loaded to about 70% in about an hour. After that, power consumption looks normal.
      • Phone "dead" in the morning. It's switched on and fully loaded in the evening, and the next morning the display remains black and I have to long-press the power-button to bring it back to life again.

      Thinking about it, these two might coincide, and have only been observed these past two days. However, I recall having none of the above back in December.

      So long
