Disable Facebook app and using swipe now. Drain stopped. Still having messenger though. Seems like Facebook app is the bloody culprit.

Apart from swipe, there's another app called Facebook Lite from Facebook themselves. But it's not available in our sg play store. I got it from the link below.

Thanks for the tip.

Does the lite version solve the battery drain?


But then again, if you will be using fb messenger it will still cause battery drain. You might need to find another alternative app for that.

I have been using for awhile and never had any battery drain. For messenger, I'm using not using that but the lite version can reply to messages in it.

After uninstalling and installing Facebook app a few times, I found out that everytime Facebook is there, my charging will not go over 20% per hour (I measured with Accubattery).

Without FB, I was able to charge 60% per hour which is normal.

So it's probably FB. Plus it uses so much processor power that it makes the phone hot. Unfortunately, it seems Android Nougat doesn't allow apps to track individual CPU usage so I can't really confirm it's FB causing the problem.

But now without FB, battery life is excellent.

Think I'll just use FB from Chrome.

How were you able to uninstall the Application? I am only a le to remove it.

Interesting to know they left the messanger feature in the lite version.

Good to know.

For V20, Facebook app is a system app, hence unable to uninstall. Only can disable it. If I had the option to uninstall it, definitely I'll uninstall it.

I think u only had the option to uninstall latest updates and not the entire app. Yup, disable is the only option.

Tbh the otterbox isn't great. It's too bulky to put into most pockets. And when I tried to charge it, the USB port flap had to much downwards force on the USB c plug and since the plug itself doesn't fit snugly in the phone I feared that it would break the port. So in the end I never used the otterbox and went with a uag
