After upgrading to Oxygen OS 12 The “Quick device connect” service started nagging me for permissions as soon as I upgraded to OxygenOS 12: [Wayback/Archive] What exactly is “Quick device connect”, and is it secure? : oneplus.

Hardly any information on it except truckloads of messages of battery draining for which you can either upgrade it and if that still fails, disable it completely:

• [Wayback/Archive] Anyone knows what’s this quick device connect is it’s been draining up battery and heating up the device : OnePlus8T
• [Wayback/Archive] battery draining : oneplus
  

  Update to a newer version of quick device connect (APKMirror link). After that, go to settings -> apps -> manage apps, select “show system apps”, find quick device connect, clear its cache, revoke all permissions and force-stop the app (Don’t clear data though, that will reset the permissions).
