The latest Oneus One update is causing significant battery drain. The XN300 build sparked a lengthy discussion thread on the CyanogenMod forums. 

The issue tracker marks the problem as resolved at 5:54 am Thursday, however it must first be tested internally then pushed out to Oneus One owners. Many commenters continue to post about the issue on the site, discussing various situations where battery performance has been poor.

Several are posting screenshots of battery issues impacting the Oneus One.

ile our overall impression of the Oneus One was positive, this is another indication that owning the device is for those who don’t mind exchanging late software updates occasional unreliability for the elusive freedom to tinker. 

For example, the promised ly update arrived August 11, bringing with it several performance fixes along with a new camera feature.

The other method is through occasional promotions contests. That went very badly this week when Oneus ran a “ladies first” campaign that asked women to post a selfie, with the 50 most “well-liked” females getting an invite to buy the phone. The contest dissolved into a series of inappropriate comments by male posters others reacting angrily to the poorly though-out effort. Oneus later pulled the campaign apologized.
