[bug] Vanced microG high battery drain on Redmi Note 8 Pro

[Jastreb]

I am not sure how to prove this other than stating the obvious, that after I removed all Vanced apps battery drain stopped.

Yes microG and YT Vanced were excluded from battery optimisation. Yes microG was set to autostart. MIUI version is 12.5.3 and I believe drain started after last update, not sure if update of MIUI or Vanced Device is a year old. I am not using mobile excessively so battery used to last up to 3 days, problem was noticed after it dropped to less than a day. It was so severe that I thought battery or device has gone bad, hence started seeking for a solution. It appears that issue is fixed after I removed Vanced apps. Please advise since I dont know how to reproduce or add more helpful info. Logs or whatever is needed.

Same here. :/

This is the screenshot from battery usage since last night (note that it's 7:15am in the morning on the screenshot)

I went to sleep with about 80% battery.

EDIT: This was on OnePlus 6, OxygenOS 11.1.1.1 (Android 11)

It happened to me too. Last night, I had 75%. In the morning I had 6%. When I go to battery usage it says it's Google Play Services, but microG is specifically designed to work with Google Play Services. I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 running Android 9 amd MIUI 11.

EDIT: I force stopped Vanced MicroG and since then, my battery stayed the same, and Google Play Services are no longer an issue. I really hope developers will quickly fix this.

Yes very strange, so its not just MIUI. I recommend you guys try to remove all vanced apps and see if issue persists. If not then its obviously vanced issue.

Same here on Oneplus 8

Can any of you guys do the following (I would but I removed the apps so no point there)

On your Phone

1. Open your settings app and go to About Phone/Phone Info and click your build number 7 times.
2. Now go back to the settings main menu.
3. You will now either have a new tab Developer Options in this menu or in the system menu.
4. Open Developer Options and enable USB-Debugging.

On your PC/Laptop

1. Visit this website and download the tools for your operating system.
2. Extract them.
3. Open the extracted folder to find many .exe files.
4. Shift + Rightclick the background of the extracted folder and select Run command prompt / powershell here.
5. Plug your phone into your PC, unlock it and grant USB-Debugging Permission.
6. Type adb devices. If your phone is shown, proceed. If not, google for [yourBrandHere] usb drivers and install them.
7. Type adb logcat -c, then adb logcat *:W > logcat.txt.
8. Open your Vanced, reproduce your bug and then close the command prompt.
9. Now you will find a new file logcat.txt in the folder. Open it, scan it quickly to remove confidential info.

Press CTRL + A => CTRL + C, open https://hastebin.com/, paste it and save. Use the output link for your bug report.
