In the notification settings, disable - Forced connection in the background…
notifications already work, but this option consumes the battery very much

I have the same problem: high battery drain when I’m on a call. After just two minutes, the system showed about 70% battery usage. In comparison, with Conversations (XMPP), the system showed about 50% battery usage after a one-hour call.

ich hab das gleiche Problem, einen hohen Akkuverbrauch wenn ich telefoniere. Nach 2 Minuten hat das System ca. 70% Akkuverbrauch angezeigt. Im Vergleich zu Conversations (xmpp) hat das System bei einen einstündigen Gespräch ca. 50% angezeigt.

Yea, but it won’t wake up my phone on calls when I’m not using ‘Forced connection in the background’. Is there a way around that? It really looks like it’s heavier on battery compared to Conversations (which does wake up my phone on calls) when using ‘Forced connection in the background’.
