Telegram-foss: Extremely High Background Battery Usage

[seniorm0ment]

Getting extremely high battery usage, 4min screen on time resulted in 33% of battery loss. Before charging I had about an 45min screen on time and it was 90%.

My second highest app is only around 4% usage.

I would say it is due to websockets, however I don't entirely think that's the case. Especially because none of my other apps are anywhere near as high.
Unless it's due to being in a large amount of groups or channels?

high battery usage is most of the time high cpu usage. maybe related to #390

[seniorm0ment]

Could possibly be, I don't believe I have a built in cpu measurment on my skin, but it is showing Telegram uses 1.4gb of memory which seems to be quite a bit.

Same shit

I'm deleting this for now because it's used almost 50% of battery in 2.5 hours its crazy

if i notice that my phone gets warm, my workaroud is that i force-kill telegram mulitple times (it is always telegram which heats up my phone and drains the battery with a cpu usage of up to 60%). if that does not lead to lesser cpu usage i disable the background connection (settings > notification and sounds > other > background connection) for an hour or a day, after that the high cpu usage is always gone

Yeah this is crazy, this has definitely been only since one of the last 2 or 3 updates. I've had telegram-foss installed for over a year no issues.
Not sure if it was telegram or just telegram foss, bit the battery drain is kiling my phone, and I need to keep telegram on it.

Any official word as to whether or not this is getting worked on?

I also have Telegram FOSS drain 38% of battery, followed by Discord which is 6% but I had longer open today

[zk-pre]

hours longer in fact

My theory is that Telegram fetches messages and media in the background, including from those chats that are muted and wouldn't produce a notification anyway. And with more active groups and channels in the more battery telegram drains in the background.

Could the push notification service only listen to chats that aren't muted?

[seniorm0ment]

This was never the issue for me until one of the recent updates, however I +1 to that if it's not already a thing.

I just spotted high CPU usage from app, is there any logs I can provide to help mitigate this issue?

Unrelated but was just curious how you got top working in tmux for android processes? Is it a root only thing? @mortezadadgar

Yes "top" requires root to show all processes
