Problem description

26%(about 680 mAh) power usage in 5 hours. This data is from Android settings.
It seems not normal.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks.

@madeye Thanks for your answer.

I used shadowsocks-android for many years with Android 5, 6 and 7. It was fine before.
This time, I obviously felt difference. So I said "It seems not normal.".

I remembered that this has been happening on several previous versions on Android 7.

Of course I hope I ware wrong.
It may be the issue of my Apps. Although I haven't found out.

Well, I'll keep watching it.

Battery usage shown in battery stats will increase significantly when you're using this app on mobile network. Reasons are not known.

@Mygod because all baseband battery consumption will be counted on ss.
