MI9 with WSKEN magnetic cable - Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories

I just love the cables of WSKEN. I use them on most of my devices.
So also on the MI9... But sometimes I had more battery drain than other times.
I found the problem through BBS. The WSKEN connector activates a kernel wakelock. Which uses lots of energy.
It declares why I have it sometimes because I don't use the connectors all the time.
Now i am on Xiaomi.eu rom. Can other users on different rom with maybe the same cable report if they have the same or not?
Thanks.... It's a shame i can't use it anymore now I know this.
It's the WSKEN X1 Pro.

I think it's better to use wireless charging. I don't know why, but I'm not a fan of permanently putting something into the charging port...

Where do you think the leads of the wireless charging coil goes to?? [emoji848]. And wireless charging generates more heat.
And let's not talk about efficiency.... Wireless charging is around 60% so 30-40% of the energy got lost.
And the wireless charger I have got is very noisy.

I'm not unlocked and rooted so I can't use BBS, but I've got the WSKEN X1 and I haven't noticed a dramatic battery life.
EDIT : There is indeed a wakelock. I believe it might be due to pins being shorted by design. Like CC1 & CC2 (plug detection) being on all the time, and the phone constantly asking ("yes, who is it?") and getting no answer.
I'm writing to WSKEN about this (and dual magnetic cables) to see if it might be fixed in the future.

I use wsken cable for my mi 9, but most of the time it doesnt charge my phone, sometime it does.
The cable works perfectly on my micro usb plug, but not on my type-c plug (for wsken mini1 & mini2)
I've tried the cable and the type-c plug on another phones (not mi 9) and it works perfectly.
But my phones charge normally with the oem cable.
Anyone can help?

Sorry for bumping an old thread.
I'm using WSKEN mini 2 cable and the USB-C adapter on my Mi 9 which works flawlessly, no drainage and the phone charges every time.
So @24ilham I think that you might have a faulty USB-C adapter.

The drain is not very noticeable, but I got it too and decided to remove the USB-C Plug.
As I said in my edited post, I believe this comes from the 4x4 USB lines on the outside being fused towards the USB-C inside, which got 8x8 pins. To be reversible, I believe they are shorting VBUS and CC1 or CC2, and since it's used for Power-Delivery negociation, the phone is constantly asking "Ok, you're a PD Charger, what are you capable of?"
Unfortunately, the plug is too small for me to test removing a CC2 pin, and trying to find if it fixes it.
Someone with a lot of patience could try to use a USB-C cable with splitted CC2 wire to extend a plug, but... a lot of trouble.
@24ilham I believe you have a faulty USB-C plug as well, I have never had a problem with mine.
