Hi, two weeks ago I flashed the cm, then battery started to drop by 2% and very quickly..i tried also mokee..same problem, so i restored the multi that i had before having the issue. But it didn't solve, so now the battery drops very quick..any advice..?
you can try to calibrate your battery, search store
I've already tried but it didn't solve
Many things can cause battery drain, the music player, your settings, depends on type of use, bad cell reception, etc.

Right.
And i too have the 2% drops often, but there for when i use it, it stays 10 minutes on the same %, so no problem. For me its normal to lose 1% battery for 5 minutes screen on. So i don't care if it stays 10 minutes on the same % and then drops 2%

Apparently according to a Google employee, those apps are absolutely useless as they only delete some log files, so it doesn't really affect the battery life at all. Can't provide a source right now, but you can easily google it.

I agree..apps for this are useless

The battery "calibrates" itself automatically when you charge over 90%. In other words, the batterystats file is resettet, the same what these apps are doing.
@rob rich as mentionned in other thread, i have the same issue and i dont know what to do.

Yeah, i read through it, but i really can't help. Even i don't know why some of you get such a bad battery life. All i know is, that I'm really satisfied with my battery. Even yesterday, i took 300 photos, had 4 and a half hours screen on and still 18% left when i went to bed.

i have the dual sim version. both 2g. NO WI-FI AT ALL.
I usually get 3- 4 hours of screen on time. then im under 14% i just use whatsapp, a little gaming,opera mini browser. with this usage i get total 14-18 hours of battery. is this normal? my previous phone was nokua 5230 with inane battery life.
not sure..
My battery life is better i think but cant say if yours is normal ... Screenshot of battery stats would be helpful

I charged in the middle upto 80. Screen on time at that time was 3.5 hours
Hmm..your battery life doesnt seem Bad to me, but I cant tell you if its actually a normal or a Bad battery life as i have the single sim Version with tweaky one Rom and faux kernel... Sorry, that i cant tell you more, but i saw some battery threads here at xda already, maybe you should ask there. Good Luck.
1. From screenshot it says 3G.. You sure you are on 2G all the time or this was just rare case?
2.From graph it seems like you charged phone in between from pretty low to quite respectable 70 - 80%.
3. I get this kind of battery on medium usage with single charge. So if you charged in between then your battery seems poor.
4. Do check background services running and disable what you can.. From usage you specified, you should not require many running things. Use greenify to automate this things.
He says he uses WhatsApp as well? Does it work on 2G connection too?. Thought I'd point out.

i didn't charge in between. i was just not able to fully charge my phone as i was in a hurry. before that i got my specified usage. and 3g is a rare case. i get very weak signal. so i use 2g network all the time

i had acdisplay but i dont use it now because i think it's eating up my battery. i have avast free, messenger, WhatsApp, clean master, dashclock widget and battery extenson . camera 360 is a bit nuisance. i close it but it starts again. also u should know that my phone was fully discharged two times when it was new
due to my carelessness. but i immediately charged it.
edit: also chrome on 2g takes up 1 or 2% every 3 or 4 minutes. it takes 3 or more hours to completely charge it with Motorola charger. I'm on GEL. got it from android police.
I'm currently on the stock 4.4.4 modem and I think it consumes way too much power. As you can see from the screenshots, it consumed a ****load of power for 1 hour of call, and no, I keep my wakelocks under control, 98% deep sleep, so what consumed the battery is simply the 1 hour of phone call and 1 hour of screen on. Ironically, the phone call used more power than the screen, which is kinda absurd to me...
So yea, I was wondering if you also noticed that the 4.4.4 modem drains so much battery.
Thanks,
TD
The thing with modems is that every modem works differently for every person. What causes drain for one person will be amazing for another, this is due to usage and almost infinite environmental variables that all contribute to the radio performance. This thread will not help you learn what the best modem is. You'll just have to try them all and find the one that works best for you.
Better a radio that drains than one that loses connection, no?
I use 4.4.4 modem and still get the usual 24 hours and 6 SoT hours....usually.

Same, but we don't usually use our radio very much haha. I've actually noticed the radio is much better at keeping its connection even in concrete buildings that were giving my phone data troubles in earlier versions. This may have come at slightly higher drain but nothing too noticeable for myself.

I use the .15 modem. I have 15,17, and the new one, and flash between them pretty often. 15 locks down a connection quite a bit when the other 2 won't. Not always, but it has been worth the experimenting..
You had the screen on a hell of a lot, the main problem. Where cells are in relation to you, is what causes you to use more power. If it's jumping from mast to mast or 3~4g

Hi fellow Nexus owners.
I've noticed recently (past month or so) that my phone's battery life has taken what seems to be a significant hit. I was getting around 15 hours on a charge with light to moderate use. I am now consistently getting 10 hours or a little more.
I'm running 4.4.4 stock, WiFi on, GPS = high accuracy, and have used both ART (current) and Davlik with roughly the same results. I'm a bit disconcerted by the higher battery use by Android System and Google Play Services.
I contacted Google, and was offered warranty replacement. However, I'm not sure it's worth it. How does this compare with your battery performance? Is it expected for an 8 month old device? Thanks for your input.
one important thing, how much screen on time do you get? as how long the phone last between charges doesnt say anything, as we all use our devices differently. for example, i only see about 7-10 hours, but im a heavy user, that sees about 5 hours screen on time.
Go to the battery help thread in my signature.... Read the first 4 posts. If you need help still, post the recommended screen shots from post 4. ?

2.5 is normal, on the low side, but normal. 1, yuck!
Turn your brightness down! i keep mine about 15-20% most the time. when i raise it to 35-40%, ill get 30-60 minutes screen on time less. also, wifi, bluetooth, turn them on only when you need them. speaking of wifi, go to you wifi settings, hit the 3 dots in the bottom right, press advanced, then disable scanning always available. this will keep your wifi really off when you turn it off. otherwise google uses it to look for your location, even when you turn it off.

Do your methods help 100% of the people that follow your guidelines? Just accept that the battery is only 2300mhz so by tweaking a few settings would maybe add in an hour of juice give or take. Believe me, I have tried everything suggested, and have owned this device since release, the battery is Underpowered when used to power up a 5 inch, 1080p screen. You won't find anyone saying the battery is way too overpowered.

i do zero tweaking really, and get around 5 hours screen on time. all i do is run rastakat/trinity, keep crappy apps off my device, set up my device right, keep my brightness lower mostly, and i live in great coverage with great lte data speeds.

If you get 1 to 2 hours screen time.... You either have a defective battery. A very poor signal while in data. Or a really bad draining issue from an app or something.
That isn't normal.... And is well below the average. Well below the low end of the average. And that's average with everything on... Every feature.
But OK.... You win. I'll shut up about it. ?

I have noticed exactly the same thing for around a month, and Google Play Services now constantly appears on my battery stats. I was fairly convinced it's an issue with the Google Play Services 6.1.xx update as I was getting this wakelock:
wake:com.google.android.gms/.auth.be.proximity.authorization.userpresence.UserPresenceService
Googling it reveals little.
As an example, at the moment my phone has been off charge for 26 hours with 1 hour 40 mins screen time and is at 10% battery. That might not seem too bad but I have a screenshot from around a month ago where I had 49 hours off charger with 4 hours 2 mins screen time. Like you, 4.4.4 completely stock unrooted.
I'm going to see if the imminent Lollipop upgrade magically fixes it else it'll be a factory reset for me as I've given up finding a cause.
Updated to 5.1.6 yesterday and used my phone pretty heavily today battery life is great screen brightness between 50 and 75% and at 35% left I have had a SOT of 5 hours and 10 minutes!
Testing SOT. Good so far.
I've got 5 hours SOT , include playing PUBG 2 hours ?
I'm about to call it a night. Good run so far. Better than 5.1.5.

So did the new OTA fix the battery issues?
I got better battery hour even after gaming fb wasap 9gag snap some picture & videos. Battery still can hold more than 1day. Applause for OnePlus 6.

SOT will also depend on standby time of your using your phone constantly with low standby time then you tend to get more SOT

There have never been any battery life issues, it's an ancient belief that started with the OnePlus ONE.. Battery life is always measured by your last battery cycle. If you barely use your phone for one cycle, you will have a high SOT for the next battery cycle, if you keep playing games all day, the algorithm will estimate a lower SOT. The time when you decide to start charging your phone again will also have in an impact on SOT. It's all about ESTIMATION, not precise and factual stats.
It's definitely (a bit) better than 5.1.5. I can get 50h of standby with 6.5h SOT:

Clear Google Play Services Data
If you are not aware, Google Play Services is where most of the things happen on Android. However, a buggy Google Play Services update or behaviour might result in Android System battery drain. The straight fix to this can be wiping Google Play Services data from Android Settings.
To wipe data, go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Services > Storage > Manage Space > Clear Cache and Clear All Data.

Hi all !
Small question, is it possible to have more than 4/5 hours of screen with this phone? I'm on beta 18 (but it was the same with my stable 10.0.8) but have a pretty high battery drain without really understanding why (no heavy app use) ...
I would like to switch to Lineage, do you think I could have some improvement? I had also tested the Elemental X kernel on the stable and it worked well, the two combined would be okay?

Crappy network and Bluetooth are the reasons. I used to get 4.5-6hrs of screen on time when I used to use bluetooth all the time. I switched to wired headphones and Now I get 7-10hrs depending on my usage.

I did mostly google apps so far. I'm still under setup and tweaking I just barely got the device. Had to flash back and forth. Tmobile sim unlock. And now I'm kinda setup and I'm averaging it seems about 5 hours. With about 40 % left.
Beta 19, 2k, 90hz, no tweak or anything except using greenify, battery saver is always off, auto brightness on, double sim card, no wifi or bluetooth usage, I use every app on dark mode, no gaming, daily use + watching full hd or 2k videos for an hour or more a day and I get 6-7 hours screen time. The phone is 10 months old
