Hello,
I know there are some topics like this but they were not clear for me.
Sinds already a really long time i have serious draining problems.
when i look at my battery usage, i see android OS just as high as the consumption of my screen.
I changed to every (ICS) ROM you can imagine, but the problem always comes back.
Is it normall that android OS is using between 20-50% ?
Does everyone have this problem?
Better battery stats says: audio out_3 and alarm manager is causing it.
But i can't really remove them can I?
I noticed the back of my phone is always warm, it just doesn't cool down.
I think one of my apps is causing this drain, but I really don't know how to find it.
Do you have any suggestions?
thank you!
You could try a slimmed down version if something like AOSP then see without installing any apps if the problem still occurs.
As for heat mine is always warn too even undervolted and underclockdd to 972mhz it can get warm.
Sent from my pyramid...
when I still had my MT4G, someone found out that if you delete "Google Backup Transport" that the Android OS would go back to normal along with battery life. Im not sure about the Sensation, but make a backup of the file and try deleting it to see if it helps
AOSP had the same problem, but it could be slightly better.
I will try google backup transport.
i have the same problem with AOSP based roms, i normally get around 7-9 hours from a AOSP rom (even tho i have an extended battery) but im currently using rdejager's miui sense rom (undervolted by -100) and im can normally get around 24-30hours from one charge
I flashed Cyanogenmod (opensensation) and i'm really happy with it. I also formatted sd card. Android OS is working normall for now, but it might come back (usualy does :S)
Also i'm buying an anker battery, so i hope the problem is solved!
Otherwise JB must solve it right?
audio out_3 ? you can uncheck Key tone,or download One Power Guard or It will give you some optimization tips.
So, I don't know if my problem here in particular is unique or new, but this issue started about a week ago.
My Nexus 5, is rooted, and running Cyanogenmod 11, (was) running with ART Runtime, and I was getting pretty decent battery life with the phone. Usually nothing less than 2-3 hours of screen on time, with pretty typical settings (location off, sync off, etc).
Out of nowhere, about last week my battery life began to be much worse. It'll drain from full to 20% in a matter of 5 or 6 hours, and none of my usage really changed at all. I'm well aware of the mm-qcamera-daemon, but according to my battery usage page, it still isn't really in use or bothering my battery life.
What could cause this sudden change? I'm here at work plugging my phone in half way through the day, when normally I can go about 2 days without charging.
I've tried factory resetting, I've turned off ART, I've tried changing the governor on the CPU, and many other things. Is my battery simply going bad?
If anything has a solution for me, it'd be a blessing.
Thanks.

If i was on your place I'd return it back to stock and see how my phone would react. Afterwards if issue has to do anything with hardware I'd unroot + relock bootloader and give it to my provider for a warranty and explain them my problems.

Hmm..
That's not a bad idea. I think I'll flash stock back on to it when I get home tonight. You know, I have insurance on the phone, but I was expecting to have to exchange it for breaking the phone's screen, not for my battery going bad. I hope Stock ROM fixes the problem, or hell.. maybe whenever 4.4.3 ROMs start coming out, that might do the trick to. I've been careful to take care of this phone, since I broke my Nexus 4 two months after I got it.
Thanks.

You're welcome. I hope that you solve your problem as soon as possible. If you take a look how your phone does with stock on your diagnose of a problem would be much easier and from than on if the problem was in software you can try some other roms and kernels. I personally am not really a fan of cyanogenmod 11 at least not for nexus 5 since I've had few bugs using for a few days.

Well, I really liked Paranoid Android for my Nexus 4, and I've had no issues until recently with CM11. :\
I guess stock is going to be my best bet though. I just really hope I can deal with the battery drain issue from mm-qcamera-daemon or whatever.

I've been using SlimKat in combination with Faux's custom kernel for a few days now and I must say that peformance is as smooth as it was never before, speed is absolutely phenomenal and my battery life is more than pleasing (around 24H + 3-4 Hrs of screen on time).

Well, that sounds like exactly I want. I'm not opposed to trying another custom ROM either. Can you PM me a link to the thread with whatever particular build you're using?
If it's efficient and up to 4 hours of on screen time, sounds like exactly what I need.
I'm more than happy to ditch my ROM if I can get better performance, haha.

ROM: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...4-slim-hammerhead-4-4-2-build-4-official-3700
KERNEL: http://faux.romhost.me/hammerhead/kk44/
I'm using non-ultimate version of the kernel which means that it doesn't support overclocking and I'm also using a bit older build which is very stable and works flawlessly for me.
Ah, great. I'm actually going to download it now, while I'm here at work. Also, does this particular ROM work at all with ART Runtime, because if possible, I'd like to continue using it.

It does support ART. I didn't try it on this ROM though so I cannot tell exactly whether it's working or not. You'll have to test it by yourself but I am pretty sure that if your phone doesn't have any hardware issues that you won't be disappointed with the performance of ROM + Kernel with or without ART! Hit thanks if I helped you anyhow :laugh:
PS: Though since the ART is still in beta phase of development there is a possibility that it has caused you so much trouble with battery =)

Batteries Can't throttle. However the do degrade with use. You can replace the battery with ease.
hi,
I already had a thread some months ago, I was thinking qi loading damaged the battery but ordered a new battery and it changed nothing.
later I noticed that the battery runs normal while not playing. I can use the phone for 2-3 days. but while playing after 30-40min the battery ist down to 20%. (mostly hearthstone / rayman)
it's a second hand phone and the old owner had a custom rom running. right now I'm on stock. I would like to know if you could messed up something what can't be fixed by just installing everything clean and stock?
I'm not sure but the display seems also completly like new, but the backcover is messed, like he changed the display, could there be errors while changing display which cause this problem?
hi, I'm back here again.
still can't find a solution to this problem. I don't know if it's unusual because compared to some youtube videos it is.
I run antutu completly stock and got 55.3k antutu while it drained 8% of the battery doing that. could there be some permanent changes even if I'm completly stocked like changed volt table? even if the phone is flashed stock afterwards?
Hey,
I've been using a Samsung QI charger an my N5 for a while now and recently noticed that my battery has been draining faster then before. I don't usually play a lot of games in this phone but when watching videos or playing music for a while the battery dies fast.
To begin with I thought it might have been the battery bug bit it isn't, I checked the location settings that drain the battery and the WiFi scanning interval but they're both off/ not the cause for the battery draining fast. I even went as far to changing the batter to the one I have in my other broken n5 but it didn't seem to change anything and I know that battery herd a charge good.
Now I'm thinking it may be a bug in my ROM (Resurrection Remix) or too many background processes.
I installed Multirom and broken is and the battery seems to last longer so I may have fixed my issue.
You may be able to find a solution in one of the things I tried. Good luck!
PS Rayman is an awesome game!
Hey everyone,
It's been a while since I posted on the forum since although I wasn't overly happy with my battery life, it wasn't giving me too many problems. However the last couple of days have been a nightmare! For the record, my phone is not rooted.
I've attached some screen shots which I took on the fly, but I've been getting some really weird results from GSam. Since the 500% result I've reset the cache and the other images are what the battery is currently using.
However since its draining so fast I can barely see myself able to go anywhere without a charger!
I usually leave wifi and 4g off overnight anyway so when I woke up earlier I was surprised to see it with a 10% drain from doing absolutely nothing. I had to put it into power saving mode last night as I needed my alarm for the morning and was worried the phone would drain too quickly.
As far as I can tell the phone is sometimes entering deep sleep and sometimes not. It wasn't at all last night and isn't currently either. I really have no idea what the problem is and wanted to feel out some ideas before I factory reset the phone for the second time. I kind of wanted to avoid it if poss but am beginning to think it might be the only option. I'm also now worried there's something wrong with the battery
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Try debloating stock rom, use free debloater from XDA (You dont need root to use it). I've uploaded my list of debloated apps as reference, double check what You'r using and if You'r not sure what app does what try google-ing it.
You can also try disabling stock Chrome browser and install Chrome Beta (I've been using it for few years and never had any problems with it)
Also beware of disabling Samsung Store etc. as some members of XDA pointed that after disabling it, it won't work untill factory reset.
Check my previous posts, I've uploaded screenshots of my battery life with debloated rom from this list.
Does it work on Mac? I don't have a Windows computer. I've not done this sort of thing before, is it easy to do? :/
I'll look up chrome beta but I don't know if it's anything to do with that since it's pretty bad even when I'm not using anything. I wish I could tell what was rinsing my phone battery. Maybe I should attempt to root it after all.
Hi,
So, I have been getting really bad battery life for many years now...
Since I got my first OP phone the OP6 I have had this issue.
So first I thought my op6 was faulty, so lately I got myself an op7 pro. But still, on that phone also battery issues.
After that I traded my op7 pro for an s10+, but later I wanted to get back to oneplus so I traded it again for another oneplus 7 pro.
And here I am still with bad battery life.. And with bad battery life I mean like days with 3 hours SOT and like 20% left. To days with 4 hours and like 20%.
But nothing better than that, ofcourse I tried things myself, so I went to oneplus discord server and asked there. Many people tried to help me. We tried custom roms, custom kernels, battery apps like greenify or doze apps. But nothing works, what we did notice tho, that google play services is on the top almost all times. So I tried a day with only whatsapp, but still google play services drain.
If anyone know tips to extend battery life, or setups like XXX Rom or magisk module with XXX kernel. Let me know, anything is possible.
Kind regards,
Crewz
Hey man, I had similar problems with most of my devices, I traded s10+ for op7pro because of that same battery problem. Now it is not as great as other people experience, since I have read that lots of guys go over 9h sot with similar usage as mine... But I am around 6:30 -7:30 sot per 36-48h usage.(on qhd and 90hz)
Since you have tried most of the stuff... I have copluple of suggestions, it looks that problem may be with your network(frequency)/sim or baseband, had on exynos such problem... I would do like whole wipe wit msm tool end downgrade to Android 9, stay day or two and check your battery( you can always upgrade) then try to change an operator if you have other sim, once I had to buy new sim car, because mine was obsolete... See if there are differences without sim card, change sim slot...
One of the last recourses is trying to see if you can install other, change modem/baseband.. I have no idea for op7 pro... Also region settings may have an impact... Eu or non eu rom and so...
One thing that made noticable difference for me is I red somewhere that Hyperion launcher is better for battery and it is... I got better idle with it... Try it.. and best luck

Hey,
So first of all, thank you for the reply and sorry for the late reaction.
I have done a full wipe with MSM before, but I never did go back to Android 9. I need to say tho that I have had bad battery life on that aswell.
It is maybe a good idea to use without sim, but I really need my sim for calls etc. The range is from 4 to 5 bars, so that should be fine I guess.
I am not experienced at all with changing modem / baseband. If anyone here on XDA can help me with that and explain what it actually does, I would appreciate that.
I will give hyperion launcher a go, thanks!
Solution is very simple, do not use warp charge without necessarily exlusions. Use simple charger 2.4 Amper
Just an idea. If this is happening with multiple phones, it might be the quality of signal you're getting from the towers around you. The harder your phone has to work to find signal, the more the battery is going to drain.

Hello. Why you think so? Quick charging just supplies the charging mechanism for the battery with more power, it doesn't change the way the battery itself works or how the power is stored in the cells. It also doesn't change the way the power discharges from the battery.

doesnt make a difference, you can use warp charge without problems. He just gets the bad battery life from his apps, which are syncing all time in the background.

There's a Magisk Module called universal GMS doze. It might help you out with different wakelocks. Also download fk kernel manager he got a couple apps in his battery info area that controls services an wakelocks and also it'll tell idle drain stats. Also in dev options there's a mobile data always on you can unclick that if still nothing helps I'd try turning your mobile data off an see if that's what's draining you
