New Facebook app killing the battery? - Android Apps and Games

I just updated to the newest Facebook app. Looks pretty nice. Back out of it and shut the display off. Pick my phone up like 15-20 minutes later and 10% of my battery was gone, about. I check Spare Parts, under Partial Wake Usage and Facebook is at the top of the list with a giant bar. I checked running services and it's got a Facebook Service that stays running apparently. I closed it.
Just want to see if anyone else experiences the same type of battery issues with the new update.

It's possible, my phone is down to 82% right now and the screen has been off almost the entire time since I unplugged it at 7:30am...
Now it's down to 81%. And yes checking in spare parts and Facebook is at the top of the list with an almost full bar and next in line is Android system with a small sliver.
I'll have to keep an eye on this to see if somethings going on.

Not that I've noticed, but System Panel shows it is using some CPU, which I don't recall the other version doing. I have refresh off, but notifications on.

I killed the process and it seems to have gone back to normal. I really didn't give it that much of a test admittedly, but it really seemed like Facebook was constantly polling for notifications.
I can't wait for 2.2 and push notifications from regular apps.

Yeah my battery is down to 74% now, I just killed the app and will see how things look in another 20 minutes.

Since killing the Facebook process my battery has remained at 74%, so I'd say thats a good confirmation of your thoughts on this new version being the culprit.

yep... mine's doing it too. if you go into the sync settings and turn off syncing for fb, it looks like it stops. i actually have syncing and notifications both turned off and mine appears to be ok now.
yeah, how the hell do you release a new version and have this big of a bug in it. i mean come on, why would it not let the phone go to "sleep". none of the other apps that poll for data every once in a while have a problem letting the phone go back to sleep after they are done.

Yup! I noticed this too since updating Facebook last night. MASSIVE battery drain.
Here is 100% clear proof. Since last night after updating Facebook, my phone was "in use" for 13 hours and 15 minutes, with Facebook on and holding partial wake for the majority of that time...
And here is a great app I use called Battery Graph. I updated Facebook around 1 and went to bed around 1:45. Notice how my battery just gets absolutely destroyed while I'm sleeping (even with the phone in Airplane Mode).
Using a task manager to kill the app might work temporarily, but if anyone knows of a permanent fix, please post!

Great. So what's the fix, turn off syncing? Notifications? Both?
I hadn't noticed any problems today in terms of battery, but last I looked it had kept the phone awake.

i thought that would fix it. and it looked like it might have today when i tried turning off both options because i checked a few times after turning them off and the phone was going to sleep.
but i just checked a few minutes ago and it still kept my phone "awake" almost the whole time after turning off the options.
i don't know if anyone else can confirm that turning off those options works or doesn't work but it didn't work for me.

i sent something over to Phil at Android Central. i hope that he can confirm this, even though it definitely looks like it's effecting all phones, and post an article or something. i don't really have a loud enough voice to let everyone know that there is a problem

I uninstalled the update, and waiting for the next update..

Doesn't work. I had sync, and notifications all turned off, still kept phone awake. I even rebooted the phone, then loaded the facebook app again (double checked notifications and sync were still off)... and it stayed awake for an hour sitting in my pocket.

that's what i figured. way to go facebook
this kind of sucks too because i actually think that the new version is a step in the right direction for the app. it is finally starting to look polished. hopefully they put out an updated version that fixes this.

Having the same issue, I updated to the new Facebook post Froyo update for my Evo. Getting same massive battery drain, and awake time staying almost identical to up time. I also caught the service in "running services" and found that it took 10mb at the start and constantly grew in size over time of the phone being on.

Yeah basically what I had to do was uninstall the update and go back to old version. I also had to delete facebook out of accounts/sync.

You can uninstall the updates on the evo..just go to applications and theres a option for unistalling updates...im glad since i didnt have to unistall the app

I can't win vs battery drain!

I used to run AOSP JB (_thalamus kernel) with every possible sync turned off (except contacts, calendar and browser) so as to maximize Deep Sleep.
I had Google Location off, location reporting off and a weather widget with a manually set city. I had deleted Talk and had no 3rd party maps app installed.
My phone would sleep great overnight (-6%) and then every time i left my house it would drain insanely (-20% per hour) without being used.
For the time being, i'm back on Rascream, but i'd really wanna join the party with JB, what could i do? (to better diagnose or...)
Did you have Google now disabled? That's a battery killer.

I got it Nand-ed, so i can go back and try new things, but i had run out of ideas of what to do.
Have you try running Better Battery Stats to pinpoint what has been devouring your battery?
Are you online via 3G mobile data? That's a huge battery drainer. Try switching to 2G only mode especially if you don't plan on doing some hard core browsing. Or better yet, turn off mobile data and switch to 2G mode when possible for maximum battery savings.
Another thing you can try is start from a clean install, with only the ROM and all the system apps that came with it. Disable the apps you don't use, like GoogleNow for example, then add your favorite apps one by one, and see what is causing more than normal battery drain.

I used to have that. Disabled Google Now, logged out of Latitude (log in then out), Locations services w/ cell tower and gps disable and I used Autostarts app to disable ANY automatic start of Maps. No problem since.
Edit: Oh and that's nothing too crazy by the way. Not exactly a battery killer.

It turned out to be 20% per hour only when leaving home (somehow the phone knew i was moving around and it just wouldn't have none of that). While sleeping, it would stay in deep sleep for 90-95% of the night.
I am not having any issues on ICS and it kinda seems cumbersome to use an app to prevent another app from starting, although i understand the idea.

I know. The last step might be extreme, but that's all I did to save myself. Otherwise sometimes maps would go crazy and just consume battery for no apparent reason.

Hi,
You mentioned everything but turning off your Data. I live in a horrible area with only 1 maybe 2 bars and it totally drains battery much faster.
I leave it off until i need it, plus I have everything off that you mentioned including Google now(it has its own settings which you can turn off as you are in the actual app)
IIm currently running DaXmax's JB Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824381
and I have good to great battery life once I turned off everything like you did.
But I guess first try the DATA off issue and maybe it will help with your ROM
Or
try what other person said and run the ROM bare to see if its the ROM or an App you have that could be draining your battery
Good luck

Considering that i'm not changing the radio when switching from ics to jb, nor am i having low bars on jb, i don't see how data could be the source of the drain. (nor am i willing to run a ROM without data).
Thanks for all you replies (i've thanked you all) and i'll try to Autostarts app when i get the chance.
Autostarts is a great application. I always use it to keep Maps under control.

[Q] Moto G idle battery drain

Hi,
I have searched the forum for this and even though there are a number of cases they all seem different from this one. Instead of confusing matters more I decided to open a separate thread.
My Moto G (European version, en. DE, Android 4.4.2) so far had always been running for 7-10 days on a charge. Mobile data is off, GPS is off, data is off, WiFi is on only occasionally, no calls at all.
This has changed. My use is the same but the battery now drains at around 1.5-2% per hour, effectively cutting running time in half.
The only thing I (consciously) changed was to install SwiftKey. I have read that there have been issued like this with a previous version of it but that seems to have been fixed since 4.4 or so. Either way my other android device handles SwiftKey well so I am really not sure what might be causing this.
Of course I removed SwiftKey but that did not fix the problem.
The OS reports this battery usage: idle 35%, display 27%, cell standby 23%, Android system 5%, Android OS 3%.
Also I have no idea what kind of background update might have been made without me knowing it.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Is anyone of you experiencing the same issue?
What kind of battery do you have?

What kind of battery I do not know - I did not change anything on this phone and as far as I know the battery can not be removed. I bought the phone in early January 2014, it was one of the cost to be delivered and still had the previous android version (4.3?) back then.

Go to developer Options in settings and if you do not have this option then go to About Phone and tap 5 times on Build Date or number (should be last one) then go to "PROCESS STATS" which is under "ENABLE BLUETOOTH HCI SNOOP LOG" and when you are at process stats click on the three dots on top right and change the duration for 1 day and then you might be able to find the application that is running in the background constantly, mine is Facebook lol and Facebook Messenger....

From that i cant see anything but im sure that you are facing a wakelock from the qcamera2factory, you usually get this wakelock from apps such as Skype and Snapchat, force close these types of applications and hopefully you will get your great Battery life back. Those apps didnt allow me device to enter deep sleep so i was loosing a lot of battery life and to check if you have this wakelock you need root because of kitkat permissions but if you dont want to root then just force close those applications and wait a few days and test it out.

Just search wakelock detector on Play store and it should be the first application there. The qcamera2factory is a wakelock inside of the "Media Server" wakelock. Check how long your device has been on for and how much screen on time you have and compare to how long you have had deep sleep, if you have like 10 hours of on time and 1 hour of screen on time you should have about 9 hours of Deep sleep, if it is anything weird like 1 hour or 2 hours then you have something preventing your phone from deep sleeping.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector is this it ?
Hmm... No app like that (Skype etc.) is running on my phone. Could it be the camera app itself? Never had any issues with that before though.
My phone is not rooted. I just want to use it in place and not think about it too much. Researching which is the best path to root for Moto G was to mich for me back when I bought it and I have been happy with it or if the box - so far...
here was my stats after one night. kernel wakelock
CPU wake lock
in kitkat, wakelock policy was changed and you cant clearly see any system wakelock without root (i have tried many apps like wakelock detector and there is nothing to see in compare with Jelly Bean 4.3)
i had this annoying battery idle drain - it happened randomly, sometimes battery ran 7 days with light usage of phone but sometimes 30-40% was gone in 24 hours = 1-2%/h
i didnt have any apps installed like Skype, Facebook, or any other "keep awake" app - i also set up my gps, wifi settings, nothing helped
i also switched to ART runtime..again, didnt help
i decided to switch back to factory Jelly Bean 4.3 - you CAN flash stock ROM without unlocking bootloader (im locked without root) and now im running 4.3 with battery drain 0,1-0,4%/h in idle...battery life is now amazing - final battery drain is always ~0,6%/h (light usage)
im charging my phone from 30% to 80% and now it enough for 3 days ! for my 6h night it is only 1-3%
in background i have 3 apps running for battery monitoring (battery hd, batterydrain [analyser], gsam battery monitor) and few schedule apps...i disabled unnecessary apps like motocare and few other google/motorola apps
yes, im missing better alarm (kitkat), better RAM (now i have 60-100MB less...but if 380MB free or 460MB free...it doesnt matter for me) and some other little things that everything i can handle for MUCH MORE BETTER battery :good:
Mine drains 10% when it's in plane mode per hour...
But others days can last longer for at least 8-9 hours of screen time.
Is your phone running hot? I've had a problem with some custom kernels that caused my phone to run hot and drain fast without any visible signs.
this is after some time. im concerned by the second one on the list because it has Wheelock's at the end of name and it has x1441
I just rooted the thing and installed Greenify and GSam Battery Monitor. Now I'm down to 0,3-0,4%/h. That is fine for me.
It is a bit sad that it had to come to this but that is how the world works these days, I guess. Isn't it amazing how mch technology we can fit in these small packages?
0,3-0,4%/h is amazing !
im on 0,34%/h as final result now (BatteryDrain [Analyser])
yesterday i ended 5 days cycle on 53% battery i charged to 82% then with very light usage i need to charge after 5 full days (120 hours) on 29% (= no idle battery drain)
this idle battery drain is not hardware related, its issued by (stupid) KitKat - i really dont believe that it will be fixed in any next release (4.4.x or 5)
im enjoying JellyBean 4.3 much more than KitKat - all you need is flash stock system image WITHOUT unlocking bootloader/root/losing your warranty

[Q] New owner of my OPO and experiencing battery issues :(

Hi all, I've just purchased a OPO 64GB and have been using it for 2 days. So far, I'm not liking it.
I've tested the official 12S ROM and while everything was fine, the battery drain is just unbearable. I understand the issue is main due to the GPS v7.3.29 systemupdate wakelock, but CM already has the fix applied and I've even applied this as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...mod-google-play-services-update-wake-t3078082
I've also tried reverting GPS to an older version but it didn't help. The battery drains regardless of GPS and I don't even have any of my apps installed other than BetterBatteryStats! Why don't I have apps installed? My habbit is to test out the raw stats of any brand new phone I purchase so I have some sort of benchmark to compare against.
So I thought, OK maybe CM 12s has issues, I'll try another ROM. I've tried Smoki's ROM and still has battery drain. I'm now testing BlissPop, again the same. Keep in mind, I don't have anything installed other than BetterBatteryStats. Currently on BlissPop (latest version), I'm seeing a 1 hour wakelock on Android system while the SOT is only 5 minutes. That's rather ridiculous.
I've done a lot of research and have seen good reviews on the Exodus rom, however that's currently 5.0.x I believe and I kinda want to move forward to 5.1 roms. I realize that most 5.1 roms are probably still in early stages (although some rom chefs tagged them as "Stable" so who knows), but still it seems like most roms have more or less the same common issues. From what I've researched, many people tried out various combinations of roms + kernels and had more or less the same result.
I've also seen many people reporting getting only 2~3 hours or probably 5 hours of SOT and not many able to achieve past 6~7 hours. Of course, I'll be installing Greenify, Disable Services and Servicely to tweak it a bit, but just disappointed that even on stock settings, most roms I've tested have more or less the same result. Just wondering if there's anything I can do to fix it because from what I've researched, the only thing that can be done is just keep trying new roms and kernels and that's just a waste of time and experimenting constantly doesn't guarantee results.
I realize I'm ranting a bit here, but having come from my Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5, the battery life on my OPO is just way too unbearable.
PS: I've updated my firmware to the latest and factory reset and wiped everything (except internal storage). I've been in the scene for ages so I know what I'm doing, yet this phone just drains battery like crazy and BBS doesn't pick up anything abnormal.

Hi timmaaa, thanks for the reply.
I've actually came across your thread a long time ago and have already applied the suggested tweaks. However GPS isn't really the issue here, it's not showing much drain under BBS.
I did notice the com.cyanogenmo.lockclock.cLock partial wakelock and it seems to be caused by the clock app? I've disabled all the weather settings for cLock and that didn't help. Currently I've frozen it with Titanium Backup and the time on my status bar still works. Weird thing is, BBS still shows the partial wakelock time counting up. I am using BBS (paid version) v2.0. I know that there's a new beta version that's compatible with Android 5.1 so maybe the current BBS I'm using isn't working fully with 5.1 yet, so may be displaying incorrect/outdated data despite the apps being frozen.
I'll also start to apply some tweaks for Disable Services, but yeah the drain even on idle is just disappointing. It's a good phone and I appreciate all the chefs for making their custom roms, but just so frustrated after having purchased a new phone. I've done my research on it and thought I could deal with the battery issue but wasn't expecting it to be this bad. Or maybe I'm just used to my Galaxy S5 having 9 hours of SOT....

Currently I've frozen it with Titanium Backup and the time on my status bar still works. Weird thing is, BBS still shows the partial wakelock time counting up. I am using BBS (paid version) v2.0. I know that there's a new beta version that's compatible with Android 5.1 so maybe the current BBS I'm using isn't working fully with 5.1 yet, so may be displaying incorrect/outdated data despite the apps being frozen.
I'll also start to apply some tweaks for Disable Services, but yeah the drain even on idle is just disappointing. It's a good phone and I appreciate all the chefs for making their custom roms, but just so frustrated after having purchased a new phone. I've done my research on it and thought I could deal with the battery issue but wasn't expecting it to be this bad. Or maybe I'm just used to my Galaxy S5 having 9 hours of SOT....

I use BBS 2.0 as well so that isn't the issue. I've heard of the cLock app causing issues before but I can't remember if there's a solution or not. Exodus is indeed very good for battery life, but still waiting on the 5.1 update for that one. Nameless ROM is also quite light on the battery, they're not on XDA but you'll find a link to their G+ community in my signature if you want to try it out.

And update to never
Make sure you turn off daydream and ambient display in the display settings
Thanks for the rely waterdaan. Already tried what you suggested and currently it's frozen by Titanium Backup. Still had wakelocks though. It only disappeared after several reboots and now I'm getting Google Play Store *alarm* partial wakelocks instead.
Pull out your SIM Card or switch to Airplane mode. If it's gone then, it's your carrier's fault.
Update:
My phone has been in deep sleep over the past 13 hours. I haven't plugged in my SIM card in yet and it's been on airplane mode this entire time. Data roaming options are disabled and it's on 2G right now, data turned off. BBS now shows that it holds an alarm count of 75 for the connectivityservice_pkt_cnt_sample wakelock.
I've tried the suggestion in post #5 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/connectivityservice-wakelock-wifi-off-t2899450
Didn't help though. Under partial wakelock, everything looks fine except Google Play Store *alarm* is holding a wakelock of 8 hours 30s with a count of 2. I don't understand this because the Awake and Screen On time is very close, Deep Sleep is close to 13 hours, the BBS graph looked normal to me, yet somehow Google Play Store is holding a wakelock??? By the way, I've also frozen Google Play Store so I'm not sure why it's holding a wakelock. I was getting the same thing prior to it being frozen.
Not sure if I need to apply the fastdormancy tweak to address the connectivityservice wakelock issue, I guess I'll need to test it out.
Update 2:
Unrelated to fast dormancy. Have updated to OxygenOS modem (00241):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...dio-updated-modem-radio-files-oxygen-t3072516
Still getting the damn connectivityservice alarm wakelocks though. Will probably switch to Exodus and try it out or switch to 44S and see how that goes...
Fastboot flash cm 11s 44s. Greenify donation package/xposed + amplify. Root it then download root uninstaller and remove all bloat such as Google plus etc. In privacy guard turn off wake up and keep awake and location in apps such as Facebook, messenger, play store and Google play services. Do this and report back and you will be amazed, well I was. I had maximum of 2/3h SoT literally 2 days ago . I've done all above yesterday and boom over 8h of SoT! You can find my thread if you don't believe where I ask for tips on what to do and why my battery was so terrible on lollipop. I'll attach few screenshots

wow that's pretty damn good!
What settings do you use for amplify and greenify? I have both paid versions and have been using it for ages but to be honest I don't think they help improve my battery much. I've applied most of the settings suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-0-0-hour-idle-battery-drain-stock-t2973588
I don't use facebook, google plus etc. I keep everything at stock and have very little apps to be honest. Kinda wanna stick to lollipop but if kitkat gives better results, I guess I can give it a try.
I used to love flashing roms but now just don't have the time. I'm also getting frustrated and sick of it too because it takes so much time and effort to test it and troubleshoot for wakelocks etc. I just want something that works out of the box without having to worry so much about fixing things....
Sorry for the late reply. Hmm, with amplify I block all the wakelocks and alarms I can that won't affect my phones functionality, if I'm not sure what one does I let it turn on every 240seconds but I make sure to test it before leaving it. For greenify, I hibernated everything except of whatsapp and apps like adaway or android system apps etc as to lollipop, I was never able to reach more than 5h SoT so yeah I was pretty pissed because I'm one of them people that if I see someone reach 8h SoT, I myself must get 9h SoT haha. Lollipop was supposed to give better battery life but I don't see it as of now. Also kitkat seems to be more stable for me haha . In addition you could play with profiles so for example if you're only texting you can change the performance profile to power saving. You can set it up so that it's in your notification toggles. I have also heard that lollipop doesn't turn off 3g on deep sleep or something like that thus draining more battery that kitkat but who knows you can always play in multirom and see what suits you best.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Mi 5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
If anyone could post the standby drain overnight it would be great. I would like to know how much % is lost during night time....
This one is from mine:

It's 20% over 9 hours, so it's around 2% per hour. Everything is still on: sync (3 email accounts, 7 social media apps), wifi, bluetooth, etc.
I'd really like help with this area, if anyone can give me any advice. If I charge my phone to 100% at night then unplug it, when I wake up in the morning it's down to less than 50%. This is with pretty much nothing on, no wifi, data, bluetooth etc. This happens most of the time, but not all the time (when it doesn't I can get a few days of use out of the phone), and I've yet to identify and fix the exact cause.
Haven't empirically tested, but I seem to get more battery life when in continual use (listening to music off and on, etc), then when resting overnight/for long periods.
I can give any details needed, but I'm using Cyanogenmod 13.0-20160908. Have tried Doze, and GSam (can post any logs if I know what's useful), and Wakelock detector. Would changing roms help?

Hi Khazidhea,
I can tell for sure that it is NOT NORMAL that your phone drains about 7 to 8% of battery life each hour !
Especially if you disconnect Wi-Fi and BT.
The only thing I can think of, is that you are in an area where the phone constantly switches from 3G to 4G to get on the network.
Of course, if you have 2 SIM cards in that phone, that may increase the drain significantly...
I think that if you are on Cyanogen, there is an option in Settings that is called "SIM Cards".
If you select that option, you should be able to have some access to settings for each SIM Card.
Try to select one and look for the option called "Preferred Network" and select something like "WCDMA" or "GSM" (that is 2G in the US and 2G in Europe).
See if that improves...
As far as I am concerned, I run my Xiaomi mi5 with a ROM called "Tipsy-OS" that I have compiled myself...
So far, I am unplugged since 2 hours, have used the phone with 4G, BT, Wi-Fi, automatic updates of apps, mail retrieving, applied themes via substratum... and lost 2%.
So no, 8%/hour without doing anything is NOT NORMAL !
Regards.
I finally ended up fixing this. Simply changing the setting "Preferred network type" from 4G to 3G made my battery usage change from about 2/3 of a day, to up to 4 days, with my typical pattern of usage. Note that when my battery was being drained before I did not have data turned on, so not sure why that ended up being the fix.

If 4G coverage is bad in your area, it will trigger reconnection over and over again, causing battery drain. The protocol itself is indeed more battery consuming in general, but shouldn't have much gap with 3G under the same coverage quality.

I can confirm same here LOS airplane mode = 0am till 6am 100% to 98 or 97 % so at max decrease a 1/2% an hour.
In a non-airplane mode with WiFi connected I get a bit more than 1%/h with greenify activated.
I posted in another thread but i've got no answer.
I decided to switch to Global Dev ROM thinking it might solve my battery issues, but it only got worse, im getting around 40% battery drain overnight. Any ideas???? I don't have mi sync enabled, google play is set to not auto-update apps, i barely use mobile data, so only wifi.

Official Global Dev, so i noticed that "Lite Messenger Facebook" was draining the battery like h3ll, i uninstalled it and now i've been using my phone for an entirely day browsing/email/duolingo and half battery has gone, the way it is going i will have to charge every 2 days or so. In the meantime i might just use facebook messenger through the browser.
Although Global Dev is fine, there are some bugs and MiFit does not want to sign in, i might go back to Global Rom when 8.2 comes out to Mi5.
Thank You!

Battery Drain in deep sleep always 2-5% per hour. WIFI related

I've been googling this issue for 3 months now. The battery drain while the phone is asleep is outrageous from day 1 of owning it. Most nights Accubattery shows a loss of 2 to 5% per hour while screen is off, and usually like 93% of the screen off time is in deep sleep. The drain should be 0.5% at most.
I confirmed that battery saving mode cures the issue. I have now confirmed that simply turning off wifi cures the issue. I'm practically certain that Wifi is the cause. BUT WHY?
I have tried flashing the NoLimits xXx Magisk mod, and have tried other custom ROMs and this issue persists. I have even completely reflashed back to stock using the unbrick procedure with the MSMDownloadTool.exe. We can rule out all possible custom tweaks. This phone is stock and it's doing this.
I've tried a variety of settings people have mentioned like turning off printer service, and a couple settings in Dev Options like App Wifi Multi Broadcast Filter. I've enabled the same filter on my router. No luck.
My router is a Linksys EA7300. What can I do besides replace my router? Its a powerful router but is very locked down, settings wise, with no custom firmwares like WRT. I'm pretty much stuck with it. It has no advanced options to dig through...
Edit: Well I swapped routers entirely and I can already tell this is draining just as fast when connected to it. Its just the Wifi driver entirely to blame.
Here's last night.

Check if wifi and bluetooth scanning is on under location settings. If so, disable them at once
avid_droid said:
Do you have Google pay? I was on 10.3.1 and had Google pay activated so location history was always on to have it work. That totally killed my battery, I'm talking insane amounts of drain. I'm back to TMobile 10.0.2 and turned that off and have most of my apps optimized. Also I installed GMS doze through magisk and I'm getting decent battery life. My WiFi is on 24/7,data always enabled, allow location to some apps while using and everything is fine.

I never use Google Pay and I always disable that app. I cant even use it if I wanted because it requires a secured lockscreen, which I dont want. Do I need to do more than just disable the app? Also the NoLimits xXx Magisk mod included that GMS doze function and that didnt cure the issue.

Already did that for a couple nights. It did not. No apps were guilty of anything, just like every other battery monitor said. App usages were like 1 or 2% and in no way added up to 40% loss overnight.

Did you check partial wakelocks/ kernel wakelocks section in the app? It may not always be an app that may cause this...it could be a sensor or so. If everything is normal, I'd suggest installing a custom kernel of your choice and check for drains over 3 days..

Yes at the time I looked at every line of data it gave. Some wakelock entries had 400-1000 instances in 8 hours of sleeping, but I was googling them as keywords and was finding absolutely nothing useful. As usual, I was the only human being on earth with a technical issue. I always seem to be patient zero for this kind of crap.
I guess I need to wipe my phone yet again, abandon stock and abandon bootloader lock. That will take my whole weekend up again. I just want a damn device I paid $550 to actually work.
I truly miss my first android. Ran 2.0. Flashing roms was easy. Everything just worked.
Edit: I completely switched routers and the result is the same after an hour. 5% drained in an hour literally just doing nothing.

It seems there's some sensor that's running rogue in your phone which is why your settings is the top draining app. Are you rooted? If aren't, I'd suggest rooting and then installing betterbatterystats (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats) and checking what app/ setting is screwing with your battery. For all you know, you may have a broken sensor/ hardware. If so, the best solution is to RMA your device

Ok...I will try turning off voice over wifi. I cant imagine how that would be a drain when I'm not making calls while I sleep though...
Edit: Tried it. Still drained 2% per hour, which is about the best I've ever gotten with wifi on, so it probably didnt have an impact. I tend to have 1 night or so a week where it decides to drain 2%/h instead of 4%/h. This was likely another one of those nights.
Do you use Tasker?
In my case the Tasker's location triggered profile, caused the battery drain.

OnePlus support got back to me and had me try Safe Mode. Didn't know this existed. Hold your power button then hold Power Off selection until a safe mode popup shows. So I did that, turned off airplane mode, turned on wifi. Let it sit and it would seem it drained only 1% over 3 hours, which is great, so I am stumped once again. I wonder if there is some setting in my google account that is the culprit here. Maybe I should reset the phone again, get past the setup pages, but NOT log into a google account, and see how the battery does on wifi then.

If it's something to do with your google account, you should google play services as the top draining app. I really think you need to betterbatterystats (BBS) to really see what's screwing with your battery. AccubatteryPro doesn't really give as detailed picture as BBS.
