Hello all!
I recently received my OnePlus One and have had it for about 5 days now. I love the phone, but I seem to be having a problem with my battery. I've only been able to squeeze about 3 hours from this phone. Coming from a Note 2 (which also has a 3100 mah battery) I was expecting to get about 6-7 hours of screen on time. Could I have a defective battery? My screen is only at about 25%-30% brightness most of the time.
I attached a screenshot of my battery life. Thanks!

Can you post the complete battery graph, maybe wakelocks draining the battery... If not then seems like I also have the same problem. Not doing anything but it drained 11% of my battery.

I've charged my phone since this so I don't have the graph anymore. However, I notice that by battery drains 1-2% per hour on standby.
Your screenshot shows absolutely nothing. Your battery is not defective. You obviously have wakelocks that are preventing your phone from deep sleeping.
You need to show:
- Wakelocks (Partial Wakelocks, CPU, etc)
- Overall battery stats
I wouldn't be surprised if its Google Play Services.

Well those screenshots don't really help now since you charged your phone. When you charge your phone your previous battery stats are dumped and new stats start to appear since you've unplugged.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-basics-101-understanding-wakelocks-xda-developer-tv/
In simplest terms, its a app on your phone that is preventing your phone from entering a deep sleep mode. So even though your screen is off, a app on your phone is keeping your phone awake as if the screen is on not allowing the phone to enter a deep sleep mode (very conservative on battery).
Can you download GSAM Battery Monitor and look at the info that gives you? And which ROM are you on?
Check if your "Ok Google" turned on, i had mine turned on and it was draining my battery as it was not letting my phone to sleep.
Google Search -> Menu -> Google Hotword detection
And yes Double Tap to Wake might also be another one .

I have used BBS and GSAM before, but I think GSAM is better. However, in the latest update some of the menu options have changed names.
Could you explain what each one is for? I can see Kernel Wakelocks, which one is 'Partial Wakelocks' now? Should I be looking at any of the other tabs?

In Gsam, click the vacuum icon on the bottom left of the screen. This will tell you which apps are using the most battery. You can then click on an app from there and see what exactly it's doing. When your battery gets low, see what comes up as draining a lot of your battery and post back.
As to partial wakelocks, idk. Let's just see what is draining your battery.
I prefer Wakelock Detector. Gsam is not too bad though. I just prefer the simplicity of wakelock detector

OK so I have let my phone run without charging all day and here are the stats. I could only get 3 hrs. of screen time...pretty crappy. Anyway, my brightness has been at about 60% and GPS in battery saving mode. Please help, as I love this phone, but would hate to get rid of it because of battery issues.

I get almost close to 6 hours of screen ontime , but yes most of the stuff like GPS / NFS is turned off when im not using it ..
Like i mentioned did you try to turn off the " OK google " stuff , i had experience of it waking up device quite often and draining my battery, try turning them off ...
Other place to look out for what is walking up your device most of the time and deny them the access to wake up your phone , to hunt those apps , check
settings -> privacy -> privacy guard -> menu -> advanced -> device tab .
I found my facebook app / google play services was constantly waking up my device when on sleep , i denied "keep awake" to boost some more battery life ...

Check on what's keeping your GPS on all the time. My GPS is left on, but when I'm looking at my battery stats for the past 24 hours and it's maybe 3 or 4 slivers where the GPS actually turned on for a moment when I used an app to find my location.

Dear All,
My N5 draws excessive battery when in standby mode (screen off). It usually ranges from 300-400mA per hour. I was usually getting only 2-10 mA on my N4. I installed the same apps on my N5 that I used on my N4. I'm not a sure if Google Search is constantly on. I disabled Google Now, Google Play Books,Google Play Magazines, Google Play Music, Google Hangouts, Google Newsstand. I'm using Battery Monitor Widget by 3C and 2X Battery - Battery Saver. The Battery Monitor to keep track of the discharge amounts. I am still getting 3.5-4.0 SOT though. Any ideas for common excessive battery drain on Kit Kat 4.4 / N5?
Is the battery monitor not using battery to do its job?

Of course it is but not 300-400mA drain. I've used Battery Monitor Widget since N4 with no problems. I'm just not sure which app will draining the battery. at the aforementioned mA.
I used the returns feature to resolve the battery drain.

What's wrong with the stock battery manager?
Do you have your WiFi or cellular data on for most of the time?
A live wallpaper?A app that's constantly on checking for any live updates perhaps?
Same apps as N4

My WiFi and cellular is automatically toggled to go on (screen on) or off (screen off) by the app 2X - Battery Saver. I used it on my N4 and I had no problems. I can't pinpoint which app is draining. Google Search is always 3rd on my list even when I don't use Google Now.

lol I think he meant that he returned the phone and got a replacement, or a different phone.
If you want to be very specific about what is causing your drain, then get BetterBatteryStats. If you're rooted, you will see under Alarms the specific service that is causing wakelocks. Most likely it is Google Play Services. The battery drain sucks. Turn off Location reporting in Google Settings (and also turn off remote location under Android Device Manager). Pretty sure that doing both is what helped me. But I went back because I am trying to see if Google Now is worth it. You should aim for 1% per hour idle drain and ~95% deep sleep

I'm not rooted but thinking about it. Google Play Services had been tamed. What I did miss was the Android Device Manager. I just disabled it and see what happens in a few minutes when phone is left idle. Location Reporting I knew about before so I turned it off when I just got my N5. I'm at 1% every 15 minute interval. I was at 1% for 4hrs. at idle when I was using the N4 but not anymore.
1% per 15 is still way too much. Post your BBS log here. Charge and unplug your phone. Leave your phone idle for a while. Then post the log here. You don't have to be root

hi everybody, since one or two weeks i see i have a big battery drain when my phone is "inactive"... how to resolve this please?
Your screenshot doesn't tell us anything. Further debugging can be found using BetterBatteryStats / Gsam / Wakelock Detector, root is required.
A app is preventing your phone from deep sleeping.
The only thing your screenshot does show us is that Play Services is there, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525
View that to fix that but theres definitely more to it than Play Services.

I don't understand your question. In actuality, it takes a couple days for your phone to settle in the new kernel if thats what you're asking.
As long as your phone is properly deep sleeping, you shouldn't be worrying.
You can find out by using 1 of the 3 apps I mentioned previously.

i say, is it possible that the battery drain comes from new kernel?(AK)
also thanks for your help dude, and i modified googleplay services as you've told me with my fresh install of cm11...
I have 2 days of battery life almost and still have 20% left. I use this phone heavily and haven't recharged.
I had the same problem where 60% drain overnight.
Now 2 says.
All I did was turn off Facebook Location services.
That's it.
Facebook was draining so much. I have Wifi on, GPS with High Accuracy.
Facebook always drains a significant amount of battery, I prefer using the mobile website but if you must need the app then greenify it.
I recently bought a Lefe Blade X8 (can't find any details online about this model, it was very cheap and had decent gear so I bought it) and I'm satisfied with it except one thing. Battery is draining so fast even when I'm not using it. So I checked the battery stats in the options and saw that phone never goes into deep sleep, it's always awake. Then I started the phone in safe mode to see if it was an app causing it, I left the phone running in safe mode at night and checked the stats again.
Here is the stats: (It seems I can't post the image link as a new user) %100 to %50 in 12 hours without using the phone, WiFi %22, Phone Idle %20.
It seems that I have a Wi-Fi problem, as you can see at top Wi-Fi was off all night but at the stats screen it seems like it was on.
I installed Wakelock Detector and checked the kernel wakelocks, and the biggest wakelocks were ttyC0 and EINT. I will share a detailed Wakelock Detector screenshot when I got the chance.

I've been using the phone for two weeks now and the battery drain has gotten pretty horrible the past week. I charge the phone up to 100% and leave it off the charger as I go to sleep from 1am - 9am.
I wake up and my phone has 70% battery left with wifi/data off. [Battery drain](https://i.imgur.com/VkAcAqd.jpg) [Google battery drain](https://i.imgur.com/qjxMkN2.jpg)
Does anyone know what I can do? Is there an app with which I can check on what's draining my battery?

You can check which apps is draining the battery.
Just go Setting, then search for "Device Care", then hit "Battery" -> Battery Usage
All S10 phones have a bug that is causing them to not deep sleep when screen is off, causing poor standby performance. This is caused everytime you receive a VoiP call, so after you receive one, just restart the phone. Being caused a proximity sensor bug.

Try to wipe disable Google app and check battery consumption. If problem persists, try to wipe cache from recovery and if necessary do a factory reset, 30% battery drain in a night without network connections is not normal. If all attempts fail better go to Samsung assistance to change the battery
7hrs: 10% when sleep, wifi on. Not good but I think it is not too abnormal. I think, samsung still have a lot of bloatware!
But on screen I thnik is OK: 5-6h mixing, 3000mA battery on a strong SOC, it's normal. My back up Huawei GR5 2017, 3400mA, it is the same time!
This solution was posted on the S10 forum and certainly helped me.
There's a bug that stops the phone from going into a deep sleep mode post making a call (audio/video) on apps like WhatsApp, Skype et al. The solution for the time being is to reboot the phone once before going to bed. I tried a lot of other things but had a ~2% hourly standby drain which reduced to <5% overnight after figuring out this solution. I have both WiFi and Bluetooth on at night.
You may try to play around with the battery saving tweaks in ONE UI but nothing worked as well as this has. Hopefully there'll be a more practical fix to this soon.
Cheers!
Being as this affects voip calls, does this mean wifi calling is affected too? I mean, that's technically voice over IP.

I tried to debug battery drain using Battery Historian. I noticed that the phone does go to Doze mode completely, but for some reason, CPU stays awake. I'm still new to the tool, will try to find out more about why CPU is kept awake all the time.
I get battery drain regardless I make any VoIP call.
Another issue I noticed is PUBG lags horribly on the phone. I tried different combinations of graphics settings, the game was still lagging.
Just tried pubg...hdr +ultra runs ok for me. No lags, maybe sometime stutters for a sec.

For the first launch, the game runs very smoothly, lag starts after that. The more I play, the more lag I get.
Putting the phone on battery saver mode barely drains any juice (Medium Power Saving mode), seems like it's just a software issue and not hardware specific issue.
By the time Samsung releases any fix, we might have to live with this one.

What update? Can you share the info that came with it? My SM-G970U1 is still on Feb. 1, 2019 patch. Although I don't have any problems with battery drain, pulled out two screenshots lately, both over about 12hrs period, one was with cellular radios on and the other just an airplane mode:
It's mostly Exynos people or the Sprint USA models \ service. No one else is having it really.
Got the March update. Exynos version. Battery drain seems a bit better at first glance. But it's not been long since the update. So not completely sure.
Got the phone today and the battery sucks lol and got an update today as well
My Snapdragon S10e never gets less than 4 hours of SoT under the heaviest use (I am constantly messing with settings, installing\closing\uninstalling apps, etc etc)
If I use it "regularly" just browsing Reddit and such, with a normal phone signal, I get 6 to 9 hours every time.
I don't use dark mode until Sunset.
I leave NFC/Bluetooth/Location on at all times.
Are there people out there who mostly use their OnePlus 6 with WiFi yet your phone is mostly idle?
What's your average WiFi battery drain? Could you please upload your main GSam Battery Monitor Screen?
My phone is connected to a WiFi router (2.4GHz 802.11n) and the signal strength is excellent. On average my OnePlus has a 10 mAh discharge rate which is several times higher than for my old Nexus which is connected to the same WiFi network.
Here's my data:
20% of 50% of battery used for 31.5 hours.
3300/31.5*0.2*0.5 = 10.48 mAh.
No one uses OnePlus 6?

I use a PC up to 16 hours a day. Not everyone is obsessed with Instagramming or twitterring. I only use my smart phone when I'm en route and I occasionally use instant messengers.
Those who've replied < 6mAh, could you show your GSam screenshots, please?
What type of WiFi router do you use? What WiFi standard? Do you have MiMo enabled on it?
If you rock your phone with that minimal usage, I recommend using ElementalX kernel and LKT magisk modue with battery profile, I'm getting way more battery with this setup compare to stock one (about 4 more sot). But you'll get 30% more lagginess

I wonder how a custom kernel might help with the WiFi module battery drain. I barely receive any notifications and according to GSam my phone is in deep sleep mode most of the time. There's something else wrong but I've no idea what exactly.

Cause no one use their phone like you do, and it's pointless to measure your phone for fun.
BTW, as you describe, you may encountering oneplus most famous problem, "super deepsleep". You might wanna turn off battery optimization of your apps which send notification and turn off all advance battery optimization (deep optimization, sleep standby optimization).

Adaptive Battery: OFF
Battery Optimization: Not Optimized Apps: None
Advanced Optimization: Deep Optimization/Sleep Standby Optimization: both OFF (I don't want to enable these two because I'm afraid I will start missing notifications from apps).
Am I missing something?
Edit: what's specially funny is that the guy who posted OnePlus 6 battery optimization guide has the same issue though he doesn't admit it. If you take a look at the screenshots he posted, you'll immediately notice that his WiFi usage is the second worst battery offender after the screen.
I still wonder why almost no one cares.
