Hi there,
My battery life was never good, even on kitkat, but a few days ago I received an update to lollipop, android 5.02, since then, the battery became much worse, it drains so quickly, even when the phone sleeps. (4-5% an hour when it sleeps, and when I use it- 1% per minute)!
GPS is off, very low brightness, and very moderate use. No games songs or videos. Just a little bit of surfing the web. When I look at the battery use, Android system is taking quite a lot. |(The CPU). My phone is not rooted.
Google play services wakelock are disabled.
SOT- only 1:30-2:00h!
Any suggestions what can I do?
Thank you

It's CM11S.
Easy way to revert back from any lollipop based ROM.
Have you wiped the cache from recovery? Sometimes a new update can cause issues, whether its files left behind it can help to wipe cache.
You could also backup your data and try a factory reset on Lolliopop to see if that helps before downgrading.

Flashing back to KitKat is a pretty extreme suggestion, especially seeing as no investigating has actually been done to see what's causing the battery drain.

You need to use an app like BetterBatteryStats to investigate what's draining your battery.

So root your phone, if you want to work out why your battery is draining this is the best solution.

I can't, It will ruin my warranty.

What makes you think that? That isn't true. Unlocking and rooting this phone doesn't affect your warranty at all.

Alright, understood. You're kinda getting screwed there though because this device is intended to be unlocked and rooted. The way I see it you have two choices:
1. Leave your phone the way it us and deal with your battery drain issues. You can't go back to KitKat without at last unlocking the bootloader, and if rooting voids your warranty then unlocking the bootloader surely will too.
2. Root the device, find out what's causing the problem, and fix it.

It was a one-time event. The battery was not draining faster, but in the graph it showed this(see screenshot below). Any ideas? I'm on stock rom with stock kernel
Battery stats screw up from time to time. Reboot / recharge. It will come right in the end

That's quite normal if you have not used the phone in that period.
The android os has consumed 99% of the the battery drain of 24% and not 99% of the total battery capacity. When the phone is on the android os is always running and will obviously use the battery.
It is obviously a screwup, cause I used the phone, and usually screen consumes the most. A fully recharge resolved the issue

Just edit the title to put "[resolved]" or something. Topics don't get "closed" and don't need to be. Moderators have more important things to be doing.

Perhaps you should go into your accounts and stop many of the the Google services from syncing. I only have Calendar, Contacts and Gmail on. That might help with battery life.

Why would they do that? The whole point of having a smartphone is having instantaneous access to your info and using these features. This is a known bug affecting many. Supposedly oneplus one will fix this with the next ota update.

Things running constantly so that you can have instantaneous and continuous access will drain battery-operated electronics. That's nothing unique with OPO, other smartphones, or any other electronic device which runs on a battery.

Yes it will drain your battery, but not excessively like the google services bug present in cm11s. Most people don't buy a smartphone to have everything turned off on it. My g3 has all the same things constantly active and battery is a beast on it.

That is a great suggestion for a temporary battery life improvement but hopefully the update coming from oneplus will resolve it permanently. I hope it does, I really like this phone but will switch over to the g3 permanently if it doesn't get fixed.

just stop all the services and do immediate reboot
should be fine after

Once you reboot, the process starts again, so they are running again. Por thats TVE way it should be?.

I have exact same issue !! check my posts in Franco kernel thread in original development !! Initially i thought it was due to CM11S battery drain. But then franco has already fixed it in latest kernel and i have this google search performing atleat 250 wakelocks overnight and draining the battery !!!!

Hey guys. A couple of minutes ago something strange happened to my phone. I just don't understand what's going on with it. I'm so disappointed. I mean... this phone costed me some money and experiencing such a thing makes me regret so much I bought my Nexus 5. It is indeed the best phone I've ever had but if this is what it takes to have a phone for such a small period of time and already have so many problems with it then... I think it's just a waste of money.
I don't know what's going on with it - It just overheated horribly while scrolling down on Facebook. Never happened this before. I was just scrolling like normal and using FB like normal and all of a sudden my phone becomes so hot - quickly I opened System Monitor and CPU temp was at 60-67ºC.
Also if I go to the Battery Tab in System Monitor the graph is pretty strange in my opinion, I mean the battery´s temperature is going up and down all over again it's like the graph of a heartbeat record or something.
Don't get me wrong, the Nexus 5 is the best phone but if this is really what it takes to own a phone for straight two months.... I mean, really?

Though it sounds like a app causing you problems there l would recommend trying a custom rom and kernel l have always found the stock ROM to run a little warm. But maybe before doing that have a look at trickster in the play store you change many more things to help keep things cooler.
The stock kernels the culprit I'd say. It's set in a narrow freq towards the top end causing it to run hot. Use Elemental X.

Perhaps it's those monitoring apps that you have installed. Just reboot the phone, should be fine.

It was indeed because of these apps. Uninstalling them seems to have solved the issue. Thank you for pointing it out! I guess I was a lil bit scared at first.

I'm beyond confused on what to do right now. The tablet is having problems left and right and Im just so confused, and no answers from Google are helping me.
Basically, I have three problems. First, the tablet cannot boot past the Nvidia logo. Second, the battery charges EXTREMELY SLOWLY. It took ten hours to get to 35%, and I fell asleep waiting for it to get one percent. And third, it discharges rapidly while on with the charger.
To note what I did, I installed TWRP, did numerous factory resets, and installed LineageOS. However, it just won't boot. Sp I am now here. Please help, I have no more options.
Why didn't you leave it on stock?

It's best to not update the OS ever. As long as it works. Also, Google auto update should be deactivated. In general, updates are bad. They take storage and eat performance in 80% of the case.

Regardless, this means nothig for the battery. I've also never seen updates ruin a device. For example, updates actually saved my phone out of brick.If not for Cyanogen, this phone would've stayed bricked.
OEM updates usual ruin the performance. That's my experience.
I've tried numerous 7.1.2 custom Nougat roms and have recently gone back to stock 5.2 and have to say that the device works a lot better.

70% of statistics are made up.
After the 5.2 update, my K1 is running a bit smoother/faster than before. Particularly screen rotation, opening keyboard, opening apps & going back to home screen.
Battery life is as it was before the update.
One of the previous updates (5.1?) similarly improved performance a bit.

Experiences will vary. But that goes with just about any software change, be it an OEM update, custom ROM, kernel, etc. For every person that says the performance, battery, etc. is better; there will be another that says it's worse.
There are lots of variables in how you use the device, what apps, etc.

Oh yeah! Newer version number. And there must be something better about it then. Maybe more ads, or more data tracking.. who knows? Well, the devs know.^^

Hi all, after owning my S7 G930FD for about 6 months, i've got huge battery drain caused by android system always in top of my battery stats,draining more than the screen. Yesterday i flashed the latest firmware with a FULL wipe, also formatted my sd card, waited until the second cycle and it's back again,i have no idea what the hell is going on, it also happened when the phone still didnt update or install any app after the firmware installation. I remember having similar problem with the S6 on latest MM builds and Nougat, are they doing this on purpose ? Check my screenshot below i just took it right now, my only guess left now is the sd card,i'm not really sure, please tell if you have similar problem or if possible provide your battery stats so i can compare android system usage,thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
