I'm currently facing issue with big battery drain with WiFi enabled when connected to specific routers (my dorm and college). The wakelock keeps my phone awake for like 1-2 hours every night and drains up to 15% of battery, compared to 1-2%/night when connected all night to different router.
From what I've found out, the issue is related to router setting called 'IGMP snooping', but since I can't access the routers, there's absolutely nothing I can do about it this way.
I'm using Redmi 4X with latest EU ROM.
I've tried mostly everything except flashing custom kernel so far, trying to find another way to fix it.
