Yes I did notice that my battery usage shows the whole period since the last charge, but I think this may be a limitation of the battery status page in Android 10? Obviously MD is running all the time, but your battery status is only showing when you are actually using the app. If I click on...

I've never really understood why the sum of the percentages of the apps is so much less than the total used, but that's always been the case. I don't know where the missing chunk is going but, as you say, it's not MD on a 'good' day. By the way the large figure at the top is the remaining...

Hi #dhj49er I've had an interesting result recently. A new version of Macrodroid was installed overnight whilst the phone was on charge. The following day was a 'good' day in that MD was not even showing in the list of apps using battery (see attached). So there appears to be some...

I didn't keep a record for the day when all appeared 'normal'. As an example of a 'bad' day: Total battery usage: 55% since last full charge of 12 hours ago. 14 hours left. (only just over 24 hours total) MacroDroid 10% used for 11hrs, 47mins Play services 4% Voice calls 4% WhatsApp 3% Location...

I can imagine this is a very difficult issue to track down. But thank you for trying.

I have to say I'm extremely confused. Yesterday I fully charged the phone, used it as normal during the day and MD was well down at around 10th in the list with only 1% used after 16 hours. This was just after the latest version of MD had installed. Today I fully charged the phone, used it as...

Hi there @dhj49er, As I've mentioned earlier I have no geofence triggers so it's not that. And the diagnostics don't appear to show any wake lock problems. So it's a mystery at the moment what is causing the increased drain.

Thanks but screen time is not the problem. Something has changed that is causing Macrodroid to use significantly more battery %age than it did previously. Previously Macrodroid was a very small user of power (and still is on another of my phones) but it is proving hard to pin down.

Ok so I've installed adb on my PC and I'm seeing an authorised device. I sent the grant permission and didn't get any error so I assume it worked? I created a macro with the dumpsys action and saved the output to a string. I got "no_cached_wake_locks=true" Is that what was expected?

Thanks for that @Endercraft but I've not used adb before. Probably a daft question but I have a number of financial apps on my phone and they will not function on a rooted or modified phone. I take it that simple use of adb will not cause problems?

@Endercraft I'm afraid I'm not technical enough to run the wake-lock command you gave without more information. Thanks @MacroDroidDev for looking at this. If it's relevant the phone I'm having problems with is Android 10 Moto G8 Plus. I have another Moto G13 running Android 13 and that has...

To further diagnose what is happening I started from scratch. I uninstalled the helper, followed by Macrodroid itself. Then I re-installed latest Macrodroid and version 10 of the helper. After restoring from the cloud backup and sorting out all the permissions for both apps. I restarted the...

To aid diagnosis I charged the phone 100% and disabled Macrodroid (within app). To my surprise it is still the top battery drain. So is the background service still running? I guess the next step is to uninstall the app

Thanks. No I'm not using geofencing triggers. I'm only using network connect, screen swipe, sunrise sunset, weather and time based triggers. Do you think this could be related to Android 10 as my other devices are on Android 13 and are behaving themselves? I think the next step is to...

Thanks. I think that was the thread I found which mentioned the forced stop, which I did and that did seem to improve matters to begin with but it didn't last.

Thanks for that but something has changed. I understand Macrodroid has only used 10% of the usage but the fact that it is at the top of the list is different to how it was under similar usage before (the screen has not been off for a long time) when it wasn't even showing. Do you have any...

Thanks for that - at least multiple user triggers are a little clearer now.

I'm not sure what has changed but my phone battery life has dropped significantly recently. I have a Moto G8 plus running Android 10 with the latest Macrodroid and helper version 13 (I did update from an earlier version of the helper recently) In the past Macrodroid has hardly registered in...
