Description

hello

I use LineageOS16 for microG (build 16.0-20190401-microG-dumpling) on a Oneplus 5T (8gb RAM).
root Magisk 19.0 installed
AdAway installed (with mtalk.google.com whitelisted)

For the last few weeks microG has been using a lot of battery power while my phone is standby...

The microG process is always running, I noticed that there was also another process called Z-RAM used by microG, also alway running...

I even reinstalled LineageOS by removing everything (wipe system cache data etc in TWRP)
then by manually registering GCM services (####2432546##)

Nothing has changed

For comparison, I don't have this problem on another Oneplus 5T (6gb RAM), exactly the same system, without the root Magisk)

There was no such abnormally high battery use in LineageOS15...
Does anyone know where the problem comes from, please?

Research direction

No source file, entry point, or test is named. Start by reproducing standby battery use with the listed LineageOS, microG, Magisk, and AdAway setup, then compare the microG and Z-RAM processes with the unaffected OnePlus 5T; done means the cause is isolated and a regression test or fix is identified.
