Poor battery life - Vanir Exodus - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I've been using for quite some time the Vanir-Exodus ROM, I'm really satisfied, the best performance, camera quality and stability so far, but one thing that's been a weak link is the battery life.
On CM 11S, using the same apps and routines, I got around 5-6 hours of SoT, battery gets to 15% by the time I go to bed, around 11pm, lasting for about 12-14 hours. On Exodus, it's really not the same case, the best SoT is about 3 hours, screenshot attached.
Could you help me troubleshoot this? I really don't understand the mobile radio drain from the apps, it's what I suspect is chugging the life out of this poor battery.

I'm using vanir exodus too and I have really good battery life (5hours sot and 31 hours deep sleep yesterday) install wakelock detector or better battery stats to check your wakelocks and if your device is in deepsleep mode

Hm, ok, installed it, these are the statistics.
Screen:
CPU:
Wake up triggers:
So, it would seem that the next step would be denying the wake up and keep awake features of Facebook, Viber, Messenger, Google+, Google Play Music and WhatsApp. Is that how this is supposed to work?

Hm, today's statistics with heavy usage. Not really impressed at all, seems that mobile radio plays a huge part in the drain. Any suggestions?

So, to post a solution.

I've used Better Battery Stats + Wakelock Detector to discover what was causing wakelocks. The problem was AudioMix wakelock here caused by touch sounds and lock screen sounds, as well as Messenger sounds. I also disabled audioFX, just in case. Now getting 5.5 hours of SoT! [emoji2]

battery life

im on cm10, and i update daily with the new nightlies. however the greatest problem i have is the damn battery, i drains fast. this is the main problem i have with it, and im thinkin of goin back to stock sense. can someone give something how to resolve the battery thing
In almost every ROM thread that is NOT sense based, you'll discover that the battery life isn't as good as it is on sense based ROMs. The suggestions that I have read over and over deal with turning off auto-sync or at least Facebook. FB and location services in maps seems to be the largest causes of battery drain... Along with screen brightness. I'm on AOKP nightlies and I get about 14 hrs with about 2hrs of screen time. I haven't tried shutting down Facebook yet so maybe that will help... Ultimately I just deal with the battery issue.

From the sounds of it, the battery life's been getting better and better as time goes on. I'm waiting for things to settle down a little more before switching from clean rom, but I definitely want to get on cm10 eventually.

That's odd because I found that my battery life got much better after installing CM10.
Have you tried to calibrate your battery?
I'm hoping given some time the battery life will increase on the aosp ROMs. Back on the Desire it was the opposite, Sense ROMs sucked battery and the CM7 ROM was better (from my experience anyway).
I'm currently using the AOKP nightly and my usage can vary pretty wildly. On a work day (with mobile data turned off unless I need it, and I always have auto sync off) I can get about 14-16 hours with 2-3 hours of screen on time. On weekends when I use it more it can drain in just a few hours of mid to heavy usage, with a couple hours screen on time.
I have Facebook notifications turned off, and location sharing etc in Google maps turned off too. The worst battery drainers for me are hanging with friends and scramble with friends, after just a few games on either I'll lose about 10% battery. Plus hanging with friends makes my phone insanely hot (highest temp was 51° celcius). Browsing Facebook and XDA for an hour will usually drain about 20% battery too.

[Q] Battery Issues

This another battery post... I'm seriously starting to think that there is something wrong with my battery. Yesterday I got a day's use only with three hours sot. I didn't even use it heavily just browsing with chrome. Right now I'm getting 9 hours and down to 65 percent. 1 hour 50 mins of just browsing with chrome. Havent used any other apps either. I'm running mahdi ROM and before I had some battery problems with cm11s battery. I don't have anything waking up my phone so no wakelocks and I haven't been playing music either.
I don't have a lot of apps open and I do use greenify. Screen brightness is below 50% for 95% of my usage time. Reception is soso as I am on At&t and for some reason I can't get good signal on 4g so I go on 3g which is better. I also use wifi quite alot.
I have been told that my Android System usage is very high and I don't know why it is doing that. I got better battery life on cm11s but it is still low in comparison to others. Other people have not even modded their system in anyway and they are getting better SOT and total battery hours.
Pictures: imgur(.)com/a/6MUy2 (Mahdi Rom) Note: I didn't want it to drain overnight because then it would have be skewed results as I would be sleeping and not using it. Hence the screenshots at 35%

[Q] Bad battery life- help please?

Hi there,
I bought my one plus a month ago, and am getting around 3.5 screen time.
It is disappointing as I see screenshots of people with one plus who are getting 6 -10 hours screen time.
I am on battery saver mode, not using music, whatsApp, wase games or facebook, just a little bit email and browsing.
At night it is not going down a lot, but when I start using the phone, it goes down quite quickly.
(1 percent every 2 minutes, sometimes every minute). It seems to get worse every day.
If I start using GPS or video or music, my battery will be finished by noon.
I replaced the battery, and it is the same.
Attached three screenshots. (Including the night)
Help please?
Thank you!
I share you the same feeling when I see others having impressive battery performance specially screen-on time.
I have exactly the same drain behavior of yours, when my phone in deep sleep its sleep like a baby. but when I wake it its become beast awakening.
I run 3g when I am out and wi-fi at home, also running regular apps, whatsapp,snapchat,2emails,1gmail,instagram,web browsing, auto brightness,greenify. I checked with BBS and WLD but no culprit. I am on stock rom with root for the apps, no system tuning.
So you can see my setup is like most of regular users will do but noticeable difference in term of battery performance. I have no clue
Your battery life is fine, better mine
Who has a lot of SOT usually doesn't turn off/on the screen that much. The secret to achieve a lot of SOT is making long session on the screen (and having few apps, like you). So no worries I'm at 64% now with 1 hour of SOT, but I flash updates (CM 12) everyday and wake up the phone only when I need it, with 1-2 minutes sessions.

That isn't really true, I have over 100 apps installed and I turn my screen off whenever I'm not actually using it. I'm a heavy user. I get roughly six hours of screen on time.

Hi,
Well, at least I am not the only one....
The problem is that it is getting worse every day and now I lose one percent in a minute!
Horrible! I have to charge it twice a day, and I barely use it.
I have no root, am not using any of the apps, only a little bit of browsing, and checking mails.
If I try to use waze for a half of an hour or a little bit of music (max 30min, I get only about 2 hours screen time!
It seems really poor from a brand new battery.
I have no clue what to do, or what is causing it. If anyone have suggestions, i will be glad to hear!
Are you using the stock OPO rom? because I always had a poor battery life, I had all kind of protections to keep battery life but when I saw, from 100 I had 70, it was awful, one solution I saw was to flash one custom kernel, somehow improved my battery life, but the final solution was to use a custom rom, I have experienced better battery life with 5+ roms rather than the ones with 4.x.x, maybe you should taste another android flavor and check if the battery life increases
How hard was it to change the battery? Was it soldered? Where did you get a replacement ?

Hi
I have warranty and they changed it for me.
It didn't help at all.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Sorry, I don't understand much in roms ... I bought the chinese version color os, and changed it in fast boot to cm11.
My cm version is 11.0-xnph44s , android version-4.4.4
I believe this is app related. Some apps keep phones awake. I encountered this problem with my S3 because I have lots of apps. But since I made sure I only install apps I absolutely need in my oneplus, I get a fantastic battery life.

I don't have so many apps , and I installed all of them. I keep closing apps that are running on the background through the settings.
The funny thing is that it is getting worse every day.
Now my battery is going down one percent in 30-60 seconds!
I don't know what to do anymore.

Battery

I could never pump out more than 5h SoT on my opo. Right now I'm getting around 3h before I need to charge it . I'm on stock Cyanogen on 12. I've tried exodus etc and it's all the same :/ My usage isn't even that heavy, I don't play any games at all so I'm sure this is either a rom issue or faulty hardware issue not sure. Is there any setting/rom you guys recommend ? I was thinking about going back to Kitkat but which version has the best battery life ? Thanks and I appreciate any help whatsoever
PS: I disabled the Google services battery drain.

hello dev
i advice you of using this rom
resurrection remix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-resurrection-remix-lp-5-2-0-t2971715
at the moment i'm using it and it's perfect not a single problem mem leak or battery
:good:
Exodus should give you a hell of a battery life. I have heard nothing but good stuff about that ROM. I myself have not used it yet, but I'm planning to.
I get between 4,5 - 6 hours SOT with AK kernel and v1.9 of real_pac's synapse settings. I also use greenify.
Try rooting your phone and add these additional tweaks, your battery life should be much better!
I am rooted and everything. I was on exodus but it was as good as cm12 nightlies :/ Resurrection I have tried too and i only got 3h SoT I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong unfortunately . I'll try to use greenify and I'll report back
I feel you, never got more than around 3 hours of SOT. Brightness is always below 50 percent, I turn off gps when I dont use it, 3G/wifi all day long. Im running exodus as some people said it had amazing battery life, but don't really see a difference. I am rooted with he paid version of greenify + the paid version of amplify, and the power nap xposed module aswell as privacy guard on google play services. Yet I never ever even get close to the 4-9 hours SOT which some people seem to get. I really don't understand it either..
what's the awake time on your Android System or Android OS? I think I'm in the same boat, flashed BlissPop and RenderUber and left it idle with no additional settings or apps installed, then come back to it and find a good chunk of battery life gone. Both roms had Android System using 1hr of awake time.
Then I installed BBS on both roms, found nothing. Google Play Services wake up permission is disabled in Privacy Blocker, haven't installed Greenify or Servicely yet but just wondering why on stock settings there'd be such a heavy drain.
Update:
Just found something interesting. The battery drain now is just pathetic. Powered up my phone, left it idle for 30 seconds and reboot. Bam, 1% of battery life gone. Repeated this 5 times in a row, every time the phone reboots, 1% of battery will drop. It doesn't drop right after, it sometimes drop after the phone idles for about 1~2 minute but that's just insane.

This is completely normal, the boot process is very intensive and consumes more battery than if your phone was just sitting idle, or even being used normally.

For those of you desiring a phone with +6h SoT. Revert back to cm11s and be happy with your SoT. I did two days ago and I have no regrets. Running amplify with greenify simultaneously and I'm getting around 7h SoT.

[Q] Battery dying ???

My 1 month old s6 (920i) struggles to get a 3.5hr SOT during the day. Coming from the s3 where i used to easily get a 5hr SOT with the same usage style i can say this is pathetic. In the battery section top of the list i have Android OS and Google Services, followed by Facebook and Instagram. All drain battery more than the screen itself !!?
Note that i have most of the things turned off except when using them, such as wifi, gps, nfc etc...
Also i tried booting to stock recovery and clearing cache but this has not solved the issue.
The phone does go to deep sleep as i have checked using BBS.
What could be the issue any help or tips is greatly appreciated.
3.5 hours of battery life for continous heavy use is just about average. I get the same battery usage times.
