After updating to 5.1.6, GSam shows System (media.codec) with nearly 30% of battery usuage caused by apps.
Anyone knows a reason/seen this, too?
Hi, I have E6653 on Build 32.4.A.1.54 7.1.1 Nougat...
I was not able to find any root method for this as in device status it says bootlocker unlock is not allowed.. anyway, I suspect phone while in idle is draining some batter and while it's on too. So is there any kernel for the same stock version which could fix that issue?? I heard the default kernel have battery drain issues as phone idle is taking 23% of battery or so etc while screen 24% and cell standby 11%....
Is this normal then 10% battery drops after 2 hours without using phone ?
I will be thankful. Regards
No, check your installed apps for battery consumption.
Check synchronize time of email accounts etc, make this less synchronize.
Calibrate your battery, give it 2- 3 days to settle again.

Disable Bluetooth when not nessary.
Disable adjustible brightness of screen in settings.
Use greenify or Kaspersky battery saver.
Hi.
I have been experiencing Battery Drain in my P20Pro lately. Saw the battery consumption alert and can see that it says Awake all the time even though the screen is off!!
Have hard reset my phone to no use. Any ideas!
Screenshot attached
Maybe install an app like better battery stats, it'll show what app or process is causing battery drain.
Check your EMUI version. The last one that did not drain battery for me was 10.0.0.161. I reverted back to that and disabled the update feature via adb shell. Also, look at power consumption details » software. I found out that google play was draining my battery overnight (around 10% ). I have disabled it and I only install apks now. All Huawei bloatware disabled via adb also.
I'm facing exactly the same problem Whene I'm traveling.
I'm on emui 10.0.0.180
This shooting up of android os process battery usage is only after the root.
Google play services and other GAPPS have already been removed from the whitelist of power saving. I have been using my mobile hostpot for about 6 hours and 6 hours standby after it and this is the usage through Better Battery Stats app, from full charge to 39%.
Samsung smart manager shows android OS as the major culprit.
Also total computed power usage doesn't amount to the decrease in battery power. Total power usage is amounting ~ 1000 mAh but battery is of 2600 mAh, this is happening after root and I have fully drained and charged while switched off to full to calibrate the battery, but same.
Earlier real usage time was equal to what is now but estimated usage time was just double when all GAPPS and gms were running in background.
I am posting the screenshots. Can somebody let me know the reason for this and how can I disable the wakelock visible in the Better Battery Stats screenshot?
Does anybody have an idea of reducing Mobile Radio power reported by android OS process?
OneUI built-in Device Care app doesn't show full details of what is draining battery. It fortunately shows the Screen ON Time (SOT) though.
My phone's battery drains badly on standby. It drains anywhere between 1.5% to 2% per hour on standby if I leave all radios ON. If I turn OFF WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, Location, etc. then the battery drain reduces to 0.5% per hour. There is no unusual drain when I'm using the phone. If I'm continuously using the phone, I can get 6 to 7 hours SOT.
The built-in battery stats doesn't provide full information on what is draining battery, and how much. For example, it doesn't show system functions like Android System, Android OS, Display, Wakelocks, etc. It only shows 3rd party apps installed.
If I add the % consumption of each app shown in the list, it won't even add up to 50% of actual consumption. If you see the attachment, the sum of the individual consumption adds up to about 20% only. My battery is at 59%. So I have no idea about what used the remaining 21% (standby drain).
Assuming that all details are available in the system, is there an app that can simply read this info and show it on screen? I don't want battery 'monitor' apps that run in the background.
I'm interested to know if there is an app that would simply read this information and display it when launched, and won't run in the background when closed.
Thanks.
Gsam battery monitor, better battery stats or Battery guru. But i think that they all need to keep a background service, which doesn't cause any noticeable battery drain though

Yes, they do.

I seriously doubt this. It is just that they don't show up in the stats.
From my experience, there was no difference in idle drain battery usage with and without any of these apps. Checked for some days, not only a few hours.
