serious battery drain with screen on - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
i got a oneplus one since about a week but i'm facing a serious battery drain problem. I bought my phone used with 5 months of life and used only a few times so its conditions are like brand new. When i first got the phone i installed cm12.1 nightlies but two or three days ago i switched to the last version of cm12s. Anyway, in both cases i have the same problem:
When i use the phone with the screen on the battery level lowers so fast, about 1% per 1 minute and half. During sleep instead drain seems to be normal. I don't have so much app installed and i usually take blocked with servicely or greenify the ones with services that i don't use often. Also have auto brightness to medium levels and i do normal use (generally navigation on chrome since this morning, no games at all).
Anyway, plugged off this morning at 9:00, now at 14:00 i have 20% of charge with 1 hour and 35 minutes of SOT.
The old owner told me that he didn't use the phone for about 2 months before selling it, so i'm trying to recalibrate the battery (discharge until it turns off, then charge to 100% with phone turned off), but situation doesn't seems to get better. Do you know if it is a well known problem or it is an hardware fault? Can you help me?
Thank you in advance and sorry if my english is not perfect

Have you tried other custom rom? What about stock ROM? If all ROM gives you similar issues, how about your firmware? Is it up to date? If all this doesn't work, you might have a faulty battery :silly:

Hi Bobbi, thank you for your answer! I tried cm12.1 nightlies for one or two days before and I had similar problems. Isn't the cyanogen 12s actually the stock rom for this phone? And what you mean with updating the firmware? I have downloaded cm12s here in xda, wiped all and then flashed it, isn't in this way all up to date?

CM12s and OxygenOS are both considered the stock ROM of this device (I guess ) but some others (like mine) comes shipped with ColorOS as the stock rom
But nonetheless and that aside, flashing CM12s and updating the firmware is a bit different. Most ROM doesn't pack with firmware except for OxygenOS and CM12.1 nightlies

5 days on a single charge? How can this be? :D

I'm in a really weird situation. Last weekend I've updated my raphael's ROM from the stock one to the localized one (same version tho). I didn't have time to install the apps what i need, so i did it on Monday. This means my phone was many times hanging on the usb cable because of active sync and so. When i finished the installations/setups i decided to charge the phone to 100% (it was already charged like 80%). It was like Thursday when i was wondering, why my phone still showing 51% of charge level. I checked the last sync date (and it showed monday) so i was ensured that that was the last charge also. Today (Saturday) it has still 23% remaining DDD Since Monday I had like 30 minutes or so talk time, 2 hours of music playback, several messages, a little bit of wifi, an hour of solitaire and i messed for a while with some programs (setting up after the rom update). I never turn the phone off during the nights. I know this isn't a hardcore usage, but still weird that the battery is still holding up. I bought the phone right after the European premiere (19th of august if i remember correctly), and i can't recall a longer battery life like 2-3 days with the same usage like this week.
Did anything like this happen to anyone else?
I'm curious what will happen after the next charge
I've had the same experience installing the ROMeOS² rom; battery life had suddenly increased from ~1 day to 4-5 days. Can't explain why, but hey, I don't really care.

May I know which version of ROMeOS you were using?
Thanks
hi!i have standard HTC rom. Maybe someone can deliver list of running services and background apps in ROMeOS². I will compare with this in standard rom. Maybe I kill some services and it will work longer ?
This one:

List of services is in the post, all you had to do was look in the ROM section.

PACman rom Power problems

Hello everyone,
when i upgraded my phone to this rom, the power was working fine and normal.
Recently the power decreases from 100% to 35% in two minutes, which is weird and it takes forever to charge. I have ordered a new battery to test, but i was wondering if it was a software issue?
PAC version, 22.1.1
Android version 4.2.2
Thank you in advance
Install bbs and check no apps are draining your battery, turn your phone off to charge it a couple of times. You should be able to have a basic log to look through after a couple of hours, Let bbs run through a couple of charge /discharge cycles before looking deeper into the logs. I do suspect it's your battery though.
Jokes gets more serious thought, than serious words these days
Try a Sense ROM, I noticed the same problem on all AOSP-based ROMs I tried.
thanks for the replies, yeah i think it was the battery. got a new one.
changed rom to the desire xs
but prefer the previous one.

Oneplus One dies at 20% battery charge rate

Few days back, my phone died even if it showed that battery has about 20%. Since then, my phone dies always near 20% charge state. Before it does, screen is flickering a little bit.
But so far I've observed, my phone runs about 1 hour and it still shows 100%. After that, it starts to drop. I've tried some calibration, but it never worked.
Do you know, how I can repair this or it's a subject for official repair? I would've tried to buy new batteries, but since it's OPO where batteries cannot be changed, or can be, but it brakes warranty so...
Thank you guys, appreciated.
How old is your OPO? What ROM did you use? Any custom kernel / details etc?
My OPO works fine on CM11 nightlies, stock kernel but rooted.
It's max 5 months old and I've never experienced such an issue. Down you have screenshot. I'm running stock ROM and everything. Hope it will help

I think you have to send it back to 0ne+ and take your warranty claim.

Same issue Here!

I have the same issue here. Bought my One on August, running stock, suddenly since a few days ago the phone goes dead on 20% or 16%.
I hope there is a solution for this, different from "send it back".

I think you might get a faulty battery. This happened with my old galaxy note too. Changed battery and every issue is gone.
Got same issue since a few days, how to manage?
has anyone tries this https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/phone-switches-off-when-at-20-low-battery.157075/
27%
Same issue started happening with me too. Phone touched 25-27% mark and goes off suddenly. It was fine from last 3 weeks and from last 2 days, it is giving me this issue. I will try doing factory reset. Hope it works.
PS: I am on stock 38R without root.
has factory reset worked?
Reset doesn't work. It's software problem. A lot people having same issue.
Mine even worst. switched off about 35%. and lasted about 12 hours stuck on 100%.
I've done flash to stock 33R, 38R. clear everything. same. doesn't help.
Open up the phone dialer: type *#*#4636#*#*
This should bring you up to a "secret" settings page. Click on battery information. There you can check battery health!
Replied to a similar thread. I experienced the same issue where it stays at 100% for hours and died around 17%. Happened twice. What I did was turned off the phone and charged it full. Turned it on, waited a couple of minutes or so before unplugging. Had to make sure all apps in the background are up. So far it it fixed the problem for me.
Hope that helps.

I've tried out an apps call "Easy Battery Calibration" can be downloaded from playstore. for rooted devices only.
After using it. it seems okay right now. 100% no longer holds up few hours. drop 2% about 1.5 hours usage.
Looks neat. still waiting for the battery depleting .

Not really. Only did it when it died at17%. There may be some app updates that causes it. In my case I think the culprit is Gsam. Cause when it updated, it messed up the calibration. But then again, it could've been other apps that updated at that time too ☺

I faced this previously. Phone died around 40%. Install battery calibration app from play store. Calibrated my batt and all ok till date. Rooted and on fk kernel back then.
here's the fix. no need to install additional app. no root needed.
NOTE: do this at night, just before you decide to go to bed.
1. let the device turns off itself. no matter at which battery level.
2. while the device is powered off, charge it for at least 6 hours. do not interrupt the charging. do not turn on the phone. and do use the original charger and cable.
3. once the phone is charged for at least 6 hours. turn it on and use it as per your usual way.
4. repeat step 1 to 3 for another 2 times. then the phone's battery calibration will be fixed.
I see you are on 38R .. Have you updated to 44?

Working. Thabks.
Wondering what caused this nevertheless.
Another issue is that never before when the battery was enpty that i saw that screen with chinese words. Is that new?

Phone turns off at 40% battery

Hi,
My xiaomi mi4c has a big problem, the battery discharges quickly and around 40 50% phone turns off with message "0 battery" but i turn on imediatly and battery is there where was before turning off, and from 40 or 50% keeps discharging to real 0%.But on night in sleep mod or inactivity its discharging a little bit, maybe 5% all night. Any clues or advises? Its rooted and has android 6, no auto brightness, no gps enabled or other thing like that... Its very annoying...
Thank you!

I used to have this exact problem too, clean flashing an Android Nougat ROM with the latest firmware fixed it for me.

I use AICP 12.1, it's one of the most popular threads in the ROM development forum in this section. But I can almost guarantee you that your phone won't have that problem anymore if you install any of the other ROMs, since I believe it to be related to the firmware more than to the ROM itself.

Fast battery drain on the Mi5s occurs when the fingerprint reader is active. Disable it by removing any fingerprints registered in the security setup (in other words, don't use your fingerprint reader option) and reboot. You will notice the phone runs much cooler and the battery lasts much much longer. To permanently resolve the issue and regain use of the fingerprint reader, you must root the phone or find some other way of disabling com.qualcomm.qti.biometric.fingerprint.service.
Until about four days ago, I would never consider taking my Mi5s out of the house because it was useless unless I wanted to drag a power bank with me. A comment by someone got me motivated to dig into this issue and I found other people at xiaomi.eu reporting the basics as I've stated above. Yesterday I removed fingerprints, fully charged the phone and today I have 50% battery left and a cool running phone. Normally, it would be less than 20 % after sitting idle overnight. I've asked Xiaomi to consider an app with root permission to fix this. I am not holding my breath.
Im on custom rom everyday i get around 12-15 hours continue backup excessive usage with wifi and gps on. And even vpn is on because im in china so need vpn for google, facebook and youtube.
Look this I havent locked my phone since 2 hours and battery is still 83 %

Im on ViperOS 7.1.2.
Its best with magisk and xposed and even substratum works good.
Daily 13-18hours battery backup.
I have bought my phone two years back on launch Day. So havent changed my battery also.
I wish somebody update ViperOS to latest security patches then it will be more great
