Alright, so the biggest complain to this phone is the battery life as we all know. Trying everything to stabilize the battery life, i have used many apps but no luck. One thing I have noted after trying to fix the battery with a calibrator (root required), I read my phone using 4.1V. This is strange because for a simple Watt calculation, you do w= amps x voltage. If the battery can only manage 1.5 x 3.7 or 5.55 Watts and my phone specifically is taking about 1.5 x 4.1 or 6.15 Watts, this means faster battery drain.
What I want to know if there is some sort of voltage control app or modification to the power management for the phone to remain within the V3.7 specified by the battery.
I will also say that randomly my phone decided to run no more than V3.7 on Feb 14 and this is what happened. I unplugged at 7:22 a.m and by the time 9:30 a.m Came, I was at 70%, but then my phone lasted until 6:15 p.m or 18:15 after that. And noted that i did regular texts (sent and received about 200) had a 15 minute phone call and about 1 hour and 15 minutes of bluetooth music playback (I use Bluetooth headsets **Jaybird SB2**) and some internet usage. Not 12 hours but better than the 4 hours most of us get.
What are your thoughts as well?
really there is a problem with battery life? Mine lasts from 9 pm till 9 pm and i am left 50% to 30% thiaiz rom but official too. Also i dont have any ghost calls. Maybe these too are connected?
Hey Guys
i have a strange Problem
my last one plus one had a good battery life time but the sound buttons get brocken , so one plus change my mobile.
1 wekk ago i get my new phone, everything is working but the battery drain was very fast.
i decided to install blisspop with bueffola kernel tweaked it a little bit for battery saving and install BBS for wakelock detections.
I elimenate all the wakelocks that cause a fast battery drain and since that te battery drain in idle is minimal but when my mobile phone is on the battery drains 3% in 1 hour.
That's weird cause as i say i eliminate all the wakelocks that causes fast drains and use the phone most time for spotify and whatsapp.
And if i start to browse on the Internet the battery life drops even faster
So what can i do?
Am i do something wrong
or is the battery of this new phone crap and i'm so luckily to get a phone with a failiure battery?
Any suggestions would be nice and sorry for my bad english.
German or russian is better
on 50% battery i have something like 2h of screentime so i thing till 0% battery i will have 4h SOT and this is nothing (don't use the Phone much a saing above only whatsapp and spotify)
Well, to be honest, 13% in 4:30h is not "very fast" considering you had 30 minutes of screen time. Mine loses about 10% per 30 minutes of using the device, going by that there are only 3% unaccounted for which easily fit the 4h standby your device was in.
Anyway. In 4:20h of tracked time, you have 1h awake time of which you had 35min of screen time. The remaining 25 minutes can be split up in roughly 15min of AudioOutput and 10min for several wakelocks such as the proximity sensor doing stuff for 3 minutes, the phone doing stuff for 4 minutes, basically everything is accounted for. All in order I'd say.
What I spotted:
You are on Lollipop. Did you wipe after/before upgrading to Lollipop or did you dirty flash from CM11s?
Do you have the new Lollipop-compatible firmwares (they come with CM12) installed? Not sure they come with Blisspop.
BetterBatteryStats has the CPU sitting on 1500MHz for half an hour. Check whether you configured your system to stay at 1500MHz with screen on which of course would be crap, the CPU should idle at around 300MHz.
It seems you had the device shut-down and then booted. Booting up the device eats massive amounts of juice.
Android reckons 3 days of usage like that, what's not ok with that?
1. Yes i wiped it and don't dirty flash the rom befor i was going to lollipop
2. Not sure have the latest bissplop
3 Where can i check what i configured to stay at 1500MHZ , in the kernel settings?
4. i know i rebootet it once
5. The reckons of the 3 days is not true , it only affects if my device is staying in standy cause i lost nearly nothing (as you will see in the logs i posted in the spoiler.)
The first BBS log shows the Device fully charged at 100% with wifi and Mobile Data on. I left the Phone in standby for the night (8h) and i didn't lose any precent.
So after 8h standby i still have 100%
After 11 o'clock till now i used the Phone mostly for spotify , a few times Whatsapp and something like 30-50min for internet.
In the second BBS log you will see that i lost Bat.: -35%(88% to 53%) [4,5%/h] although the SOT time is only at something like 2h.
The SOT time of 4h would be total normally for me if my reckon of android would be 3 days cause this is the case on my lg g2.
Because i use the phone most of the really only for spotify.
So the main problem of my device is not the idle drain but the drain if the screen is on or spotify works in the background with screen of.
I hope that the BBS logs in the Attachment and the 3 pictures can help you.
Thanks for your help
Don't go by the sudden drop of battery percentage after staying in standby for a long time, eg. over night. The very subtle decline of the voltage over the course of the night is smoothed out and reported as 0% lost. Once you start using the device, and the change in voltage gets more noticeable, the situation is re-evaluated and the previous drop of 0% gets counted in and a sudden drop of several % over a short amount of time will occur. This is physics and by design.
As for the rest, I'm by no means a pro in reading BBS Logs but from what I see, yes you are on Lollipop firmwares/baseband so we're good. The device enters deep sleep just fine, excellent in fact. No major or irregular wakelocks seem to occur, perfect.
As for the daily usage log, I see 7:45h. Of which 4:10h in deep sleep and 3:35h awake, of which ~2h screen on and ~30min phone on. You lost 35% in that time, averages 4.5% per hour. This seems perfectly ok. This would translate to 7h awake time with 4h screen time. I seem to fail to see your problem.
Interestingly the frequency tops now at 1500MHz. Did you change something?
To take myself as an example, on my way to work, I lost 19% in roughly 45-50 minutes of playing ingress. I had about 45 minutes of screen time, GPS constantly active and of course constant data traffic. I arrived 2h ago, barely touched my device in those 2h and lost another 2%. This is more or less in line with your usage, 1-2% when sleeping, 4% when awake with screen off, ~20% with screen on. You're not happy? You reckon you had more on your previous device?
Thanks for reply and help
My goal is to have a few days with android e.g 2-3 days
SOT is not so important.
Important is that there is not hudge battery drain wenn i hear spotify cause it dosn't mather if the screen is on or off it drains hard
On my lg g2 it's not so hard
And no didn't change anything about 1500MHZ
Any suggestion ?
Greetings
EDIT:
Open the back cover of the Phone
The battery is bloated

Try turning off the Always Scanning for WiFi option. Also, change the Sync settings for apps you don't need to be synced at all times. And Location setting to Battery Saver.

When im at home i can pull close to 4hrs screen on . If im not on wifi the phone idle is terrible. I probably drain 6% or more per hr idling. Its hard coming from a note 4 , but i guess it is what it is.

Draining at 6% per hour is not good & unusual. But for Android 5.0.2, it seems about right, unfortunately. My N5 drained at that rate before the 5.1 update.
On my S4 with its 2-yr old battery, I drain at 3 to 3.5% per hour on idle with both WiFi & LTE turned off.
On my N5 with a new battery & 5.1, I idle drain at 0.7 to 1.5% per hour.
I'll add my battery drain rate once I get my S6E tomorrow.

This is mine on light usage. I noticed etter after a factory reset. Heavy usage is between 6 and 8 depending on wifi
I'm debating going to get one of these... My Note 2 keeps not charging and the stock battery died in 1:10 (from 50% to 1%) during a run yesterday. I was using spotify and mapmyrun.
Today is my first day after first full charge and my battery drains at ~3.5% hour, per GSAM.
I have screen brightness at little bit below the half-way mark with Auto Brightness checked.
I disconnected my phone at 6 AM and right now, it has been on 16 hrs 30 mins. I have gotten 2 hrs 30 mins SOT with 45% left.
Wifi active for 6 hrs, LTE for about 1 hr.
Screen has used 52% of my battery, Wifi 15% (5.0.2 shortcoming), Bluetooth (2%), Held Awake (0%), Phone (0%), Phone Radio (0%), App Usage (31%).
So far, the S6E is outperforming my Nexus 5 on 5.1 with a brand-new battery I swapped in on 4/1/2015.
Happy with the S6E's battery life, especially considering it's only 2600mah.
a little over 6hrs and it went from 100% to 14%. Granted 56%-23% were on a 1:43 run using Bluetooth headphones + spotify and mapmyrun mapping my way. Oddly, when I look at the battery usage, OneDrive is at 18%!
18 hrs & 37 mins off the charger with 4 hrs 8 mins of SOT. 17% battery left. I'm very happy with this. Update to 5.1 should improve it a lot more as it did on my Nexus 5.
Android System & Kernel battery usage is pretty decent. Those two on my N5 on 5.1 drains way more battery than it does on my S6 Edge.
When I'm not actively using my phone, the idle battery drain rate is pretty good - 1.9%/hour (similar to my N5, with the N5 being a bit better).
13 hrs & 9 mins off the charger with 2 hrs 20 mins SOT --> 52% battery left.
All this is without Root and my usual battery-saving Root programs.
Once 5.1 rolls out and if I decide to Root the phone and add battery-saving Root apps, I'm expecting to achieve 6-7 hrs SOT.

Ive noticed that turning off location and disabling google now has helped my battery life a lot.
I love this phone, but the battery life is the one terrible thing. 7-10 hours seems to be the max. I might have to return it and suffer the summer until the note 5.
i'm surprised to hear about all the negative battery life issues on this phone. on my GS3, i'd lose 3-4% battery just driving to work - now I get there and still have 100%. maybe i'm just not as heavy a user, but the other day my phone was off the charger for 16 hours and I still had 43% when I got home - and that included using Google Maps for 20 minutes, texting throughout the day, and using a bunch of apps. when idle, I generally only get 1% battery drain. my only complaint about the phone is some of the UI that I can't customize, but it's only a matter of time before custom ROMs are available...
I lose 10% or more battery on the phone regardless if I'm using it or it is sitting with the screen off. When I drive the 45 minutes to work, the battery is at 89%-93%.
A 1hr run with it on my arm playing spotify/mapmyrun seems to use about 26%.
Basically, I'm always worried now about the battery dying when I'm using it.
at the end of next month, I have a 14hr+ a day for 4 days music festival where I can only charge it at night. 7-10hr battery isn't going to work for me. It seems bizarre to me that they made the best phone ever, but skimped on the battery.
drive to work today with the phone just sitting beside me, 100% to 86%.

Is your location on? I had to disable google now. Turned off nfc, advanced wifi scanning.
my battery sucks too :/
i live by the charger even more
with all the same activities that got 7-10 hours on my Edge, the Note 4 is getting 14-24hrs.
Battery is beyond horrible!
Wifi is off
NFC is off
What else can I turn off? I can't even get half day out of this POS.

I think you actually want Wi-Fi to be on. I find that on any android device I burn more battery when using cellular networks.

Hey Guys, i got my Mate few days ago... Is this a good battery life? Or is there something wrong with my Mate? I got 2h SoT and I'm on 50%.Can you poste your Battery life down below? Thanks <3
I get about the same battery performance. Others seem to get way higher numbers but I don't mind it anymore, I'm happy my phone can last a day hahaha
You should get waaaay more... Do a factory res, if that does not work see of some app is drainig, if that is not the case return the phone cuz that is just too low...
Just an exemple... 44% yet...

Use a different FB app. SCrew instagram and SC.
Metal for FB and Twitter works great!
Set screen brightness to 35% max with uato brightness ( only allows it to go to 35% )
Disable bloatware
TURN OFF battery saver in my experience it drains faster.
Turn GPS on low ( and then turn off. only use when needed )
Make sure to watch for power hungry apps. I found a factory reset, setup the phone and apps and then let fully charge overnight helped.
Also, I noticed the trickle charge issue is still here. If i disconnect at 100% for 5-10 minutes then plug it back in for 10 minutes ( even if at 100% ) it definetly helps.
MAke sure to install GSAM ( and do their enable mroe stats ) and monitor from there. its MUCH mroe accurate than huawei's built in. on a light day i get 2 days 14 hours with 6-7 SOT. haeavy 1 day 18 hour ( 2 days for me ) i can get 8-12 hours SOT.
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 OnePlus 6T'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!
10% drop in 8 hours in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgtpvkGRr4k
Can anyone confirm? Does standby suck?
Sleeps well. I'm 21 hours and at 65% off charger. 2.7 hours screen on time.
Deep sleep cpu speed is 76%
Make sure you don't have things eating your battery with screen off
My standby has been great. Usually 5-8 percent drop in a 5-7 hour window. Way better than my V30; that thing would eat up 15-20% every night.
Mine has been at 3% drop per 7 hours I'm asleep. I don't know if it has anything to do with DND being on but I was also getting the same drop with my P2XL.
I have been noticing this everyday for the past week. And almost every single time I see about 4-5% drain in about 8-9 hours which is pretty good.
This is on WiFi. So if you're on mobile data there might be a slightly higher drain.
Current status: In deep sleep for 86% of screen off time.
I've also noticed 4-5% drain in about 8-9 hours on WiFi and DND. I'm happy.
Only lost 3% overnight, including picking the phone up and using it a few times.
Not on wifi mine went from ~40% to 3% also my alarm didn't go off. Alarm was set at 545 woke up at 630 and when I picked up my phone to check the time that's when the alarm decided to go off. Nice feature ignoring alarms to save battery.
Is it good enough?
My battery stats are messed up. Battery % goes up even when I'm not charging.

How long have you been using your phone and what's the lowest battery percentage you've hit?
Sometimes it helps to let the software recalibrate the battery by charging the phone to 100 and going all the way down to 0 and then charging back to 100.
I generally lose about 1% every 2 hours overnight. About 1% every hour in the day (When wake my phone up every now and then)

Is it one plus 6t bro?......actually last night my screen on time is 8 hr 17min or smthing.......bt not this much like urs .......what features u disabled to save the battery?
Light use on this thing is crazy. And by light use I mean still using it for over 2 hours a day I can still eek out 2 days without charging.
I'm really unhappy with my battery drain. I see about 2% per hour when I set the phone down and sleep.
I have a Gear S3 paired, two sim cards, and email notifications for about 8 email accounts. But other phones I've had would drain 1% or less per hour under the same conditions.

That's a lot of drain right there. What other phones drained less with 8 accounts syncing and a paired watch?
Mine also has worsen with the new update, and the fingerprint sensor also got slower than the previous build.
