Just an FYI, please see link below as this has happened to me in the past 24 hours and might be an issue with other user battery drains. It is Brutal! My battery drained from 100% to 16% in in medium power save mode while sleeping. I am looking into solutions so please post if any are found.

UPDATE: I have uninstalled the 'oculus' and 'oculus rooms' apps and this has temporarily cured my battery drain. Oculus is aware of the issue. I will not be able to use the VR until they fix. If you don't use VR then you might never have this issue.

UPDATE 2: From OCULUS staff: This should be solved by following below.

Really sorry about this. We pushed an update last night that should resolve the issues people are having. You can try first launching the Oculus app on your phone and see if the update is available (it should prompt you). If not, you should go into the Android application manager and uninstall Oculus Home first and then Oculus Rooms. After you uninstall, please dock your phone in the headset so it can downloaded the updated version. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
