Lot of Android ROMs (Stock, Rooted, CM7, MIUI) across manufacturers (HTC, LG, Samsung) has a bug in which "Android OS" in "Battery Use" option draining a large percent of battery!
Reference (just one is enough): Click here!
How to check if you are affected:
1. "Battery Use" will show "Android OS" very high usage (for me, more than display)
2. Use System Panel -> Settings -> Monitoring enabled
After some time idle -> Monitor -> History -> Top Apps (2 hours) -> System Processes -> Click Suspend (and look if suspend has been continuously on while the screen is off)
I started this thread for
1. Get to know how many of Galaxy SL owners are facing this issue..
2. Suggest solutions
3. Get solutions (Those who do not have drain, PLEASE post your ROM/version/tweaks etc)
So please vote in the poll of this thread!
For me, any Gingerbread ROM (Stock or Rooted) causes this issue.
Final update:
I have isolated the bug to
1. Google backup transport
2. Organizer widget
I have removed them both, and now my standby drain is as low as 2-6 mA!
Also, I have re-enabled background data and the drain has not come back, so it is excluded.
== Old ideas below =====
The solutions I have googled so far is (and trying one by one):
1. Reboot (or connect to charger and disconnect) - Temporary solution.
2. Delay setup of Google account (do not add during setup)
3. Remove "Samsung sync" in samsung apps
4. Remove account backup/restore in "Privacy" options
5. Uncheck background data
6. Install Juicedefender - Not useful
7. Remove "Google Backup Transport" via Titanium Backup [my fix]
Edit: For me fix # 5 + 7 fixes drain on XXKPQ (Skin's root)
Please test and report!
44 views and no vote? please vote.
sorry, didn't see the poll before
I don't remember seeing this issue on customized kpq or kph, but I am seeing it on cm7. I'm testing something right now so I can't test anything else you mentioned...
me no,very lucky
---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
this is not only SL problem,is all android phone oso hv tis problem
I get and average of 12 to 15 % on full drain.
Possible fix!
For me fix # 5 + 7 (see OP) fixes drain on XXKPQ (Skin's root)
Please test and report!
Those of you who do not have the bug, PLEASE be kind enough to post which ROM/Tweaks you are using for the benefit of the community, so that we can isolate the ROMs having least battery drain!!

And what does google backup transport do? Will it affect anything?

Yes, it is what keeps your account data backed up onto google's servers, in case you factory reset or change ROMs, it restores your data!

So why would you take it out? Isnt that bad?

I never had issues on froyo or stock GB, nor on cranium 3.1 (kph) or cranium 5.1 (kpq). I only had it on cm7. thanks to this thread, I discovered I forgot to uncheck background data, and just to be sure, I also deleted the backup transport. I then recharged my phone and reset it to clear the current stats. my stats at the moment are:
95% battery remaning after 4 hours
39% used by cell standby (1.95%)
30% used by android OS (1.5%)
16% used by phone idle (0.8%)
9% used by display (0.45%)
5% used by voice calls (0.25%)
3% used by andrpid system (0.15%)
so OS is still being a hog at the moment.

its not required unless you use google backup feature. atleast whenever i flash stuff, i just backup data using apps.
because it drains your battery!! and data restore does not work for many people, including me, so it is just a waste of battery.

Agreed, I've never seen my data being restored by Google anytime I've flashed my phone. Has anyone ever got it working?

Google backup feature doesn't work for me either. Used other apps like MyBackPro for contacts and sms and Titanim for apps.
Anyway I deleted google backup transport. will update the feedback soon.
thanks!

Couldn't find Google backup transport lg optimus 2x phone bro and there's no such file in system app I searched with root explorer this file is not in phone also but I'm having this problem ..bought new battery also still my battery sucks in standby mode same as I'm using it like 10% per hour any solution bro..suspend sucks battery but there's no application running
3 hrs sot. With battery saving mode around 4. My Zenfone 2 had better results with bigger screen and less battery.
Samsung assistance (at repair center) tested my battery and they said that this is normal(I wanna kill em):crying:. Depends on apps I use. They said that there is no need to change battery.
I tried all methods, even deleting my applications. Phone also heats on browsing social networks as VK and Twitter. Even in Chrome. I have always around 1.2 gigabytes of ram free.
Is switching to batman ROM a good decision? (after I repair the screen, BCS I got bubble on the screen at the top right corner after overheating, because that stupid i(|i0ts from OFFICIAL repair centre placed glass in wrong way, BCS I did damage the cam with keys, now it's not monolite brick)(I will buy tempered glass, so if I trip Knox I'll be not afraid of rerepairing my phone if i will drop it, you know, just in cass).
Srry for my English, it's not my main language.
It's the same with my S7. Exynos-Version, Germany, O2/E+. Just about 2h SOT. Nothing helps. Battery Status is good.
There maybe some rouge apps installed and I found out that the stock email drains battery so I used 3rd party mail app (since S4)

Use a package disabler and disable all apps you don't use, there are lists here on XDA showing which other useless apps that drain battery can also be disabled

I just sharing my setup for getting maximum from my one plus 6 battery without compromising performance and notification acess.
AFTER FULL TESTING I CAN SUERLY SAY EVERYTHING IS PERFECT I AM FRUSTRATED USER AFTER BUYING ONE PLUS 6 I NEVER GOT FULL DAY BATTERY PHONE DIES IN 10 HR AND 4 TO 5HR SOT.
MY SCREENSHOT SHOWING EVERYTHING NO FAKE NOTHING.
Video guide:
https://youtu.be/BKcZPNqahS0
REQUIREMENT :
1)Rooted
2)TWRP installed
3)Magisk installed
1) Flash magisk based extreme battery friendly ROM:
After installing xxx nolimits ROM finally i come to conclusion that this ROM is combination of performance and battery tweaks which does the 40% job done in our battery saving target
Now this rom is magisk based u have to download and flash magisk based rom zip from following thread if u want to change aspects for what to install what not to be download xxx no limits profile and edit it using filexplorer put it at root of sd card before flashing ROM.
DOWNLOAD LINK:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xxx-nolimits-1-0-speed-ram-optimized-t3799167
This rom comes with all tweaks to save battery default which includes.
>battery savings build prop properties
>disabling playstore wake locks
>debolting(IF U WANT TO DELBOLT U R OOS ROM AT EXTREME LEVEL U HAVE TO CHANGE xxx no limits profile app that u want to remove just enable debolting by typing 1) NOTE: I AM NOT USING ANY DEBOLTING OF APPS
2)Franco kernel :
Suerly this kernel is god of battery savings kernels and its now available for one Plus 6
Combination of this kernel with NO LIMITS rom is just awesome.
Just flash this kernel in recovery after flashing xxx no limits rom
After reboot go to
> franko kernel updater app > Settings > performance profile > select power saving profile
U can also use balanced profile
DOWNLOAD LINK:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-francokernel-r1-18th-june-t3806062
Franco kernel updater appPAID APP LINK FOR OLD FREE VERSION GIVEN IN VIDEO)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...app&pcampaignid=APPU_1_vB4qW9_eKszlvgT0n5D4Dw
3)BLACKING OUT ROM:
So our phone got amoled screen so we can use this panel to maximize u r battery as per one survey amoled screen with maximum blacked out screen helps SOT to increase up to 2-3 hr and i tested it.
>Use best theme with total backed out link of
Swift black theme given in video description
Or u can download it from play store
OR U CAN USE OZONE SUBTRATUM THEMES WHICH COMES WITH XXX NO LIMITS ROM
>Install theme via subtratum and subtratum app is already available in no limits ROM.
4)ENABLE DOZE MODE FOR GOOGLE PLAY SERVICE :
First u have to check weather u r play services is using doze mode or not
Go to settings >battery> search for play services>see at bottom if its showing using battery optimization then. No need to follow this step
Other wise use this magisk module
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TUkuYZB8XOahwJI4SAeqqhVCS46tjiQe/view?usp=drivesdk
Download module>go to magisk app> go to modules in left tab> click + icon at bottom then select file u have downloaded
It will get flashed automatically in magisk app then reboot.
5)USE greenify :
Download and enable greenify for most of apps that u don't use except apps like whatsapp, instagram as we need these apps regularly in touch.
(follow video steps in settings)
https://greenify.en.uptodown.com/android
6)MINOR setup :
> WIFI:
Go to settings > wifi> wifi preferences>advanced>Disable always on wifi scanning and disable keep wifi on during sleep
> Disable all vibrations
>Disable autobrrightness mode.
>disable sceen auto rotate mode from Settings
>Disable ambient display
Thats it after all u will get all U r performance without compromising U r battery and notifications.
I will post results with screenshot sooon.....
what repercussions could it have to doze play services? missing notifications or anything?

Yes. You'll have to open each app to start the sync.
Only reason why I haven't kicked play sevices from my device. Some apps even use their own notification system but many rely on these services and that is a PIA.
Thanks but might as well put the phone in the drawer and don't use it.

I'm not sure about this setup. Way to many compromises.
From my experience when you get strong cellular signal and will remove all unnecessary activities, it enough to increase battery performance.
I'm getting better battery then the OP showed in photos. I only turn off all the Google account syncing and just sync contacts and calendar when I make changes. Restrict background data on apps that don't need it. I allow messaging apps, email and anything I need the download in the background like my browser. I'm getting 9 hours sot with 40 hours off charge with combined drain of 1.9%-3.4%. and I'm not neutering my phone like that.

Yeah good point here my result with a good signal and actually no tweak just flashed elementalx kernel or flash kernel ...
Edit : I actually did only the stune tweak !
This is just from today and my averages. Off charge around 8am and it's 1:26pm now

In 8 hr of SOT i continously used my phone mainly i edited my youtube video for complete 2hr using KINEMASTER this apps is major battery sucking app. I made the video uploaded to youtube, used wifi whole the day, using two whatsapp parellel apps syncronizing for each and every second as lots of messages. I never restricting baground process for any app, and not disabling sync of google account. Used camera lots a time, etc
I just installed the ROM and and kerbel from thread and blacked out my theme nothing else, extra tweaks given for major impact.
So its the matter of use what u r using and how u using , if u uses phone mainly for Gaming and heavy tasks then no tweak can work then how can u say u r better.

Your right, it is how you use your phone, but if I use my phone continuously, I have gotten over 13 hours. And WiFi is cheating on battery as it consumes less battery then LTE data signal, I'm never on WiFi... 100% always on data. I usually have 2+ hours of calls, YouTube throughout the day, Whatsapp with Photos and voice along with video, 30-50 emails a day with replies about 2 hours of web surfing. This is a typical day of work as 80% of that is for work. So not a gamer but I am a pretty heavy user throughout the day.
And you talk about Extreme Battery Tweaks and you don't do the simplest things like restrict background data on apps that have no need or business constantly syncing with nothing to sync? Seems odd.
Again based on your photo of usage... that shows significantly less use then what I do and still get more battery without Neutering my phone. You have nothing but your screen on, it's all phone idle and Android OS and Android system and cell standby all higher then any app or anything else. If mine looked like that I'd have 12 hours sot or more.
Oh and this was a light day as I was already heading home at 1:30pm today. I was more showing you my averages.

This is truly true. I also found out, that it makes a difference between watching a black screen and performing heavy tasks. Until now I was not totally sure, but you convinced me in this point. Thanks a lot.
Also thank you for your valuable contribution to this forum. I refer to #1:
Since you obviously know a lot about different tweaks of different roms and how they exactly work, could you perhaps elaborate on that? I would like to know how exactly the battery saving tweaks work, especially when compared to them of other roms. Also, how exactly the franco kernel performs so battery friendly compared to other kernels. For example, which settings do you apply (except “powersaving-mode”) and which tweaks of this kernel are responsible for this behavior compared to other kernels. Furthermore, why a franken-, flash- or other kernel are not battery-saving to the same extent.
As far as I understand, the combination xXx No Limits and Franco is the only correct one, if I understood #1 correctly (concerning battery life of course). This suggests that you also know other combinations. Please substantiate your claim and go deeper in your explanations to understand your modest determination correctly, as you really seem to know much about this topic.
Thank you again for sharing your expertise with us.
hi, I have rooted my oneplus 6 running on OOS 5.1.9. I have flashed the franco kernel. After installing the franco kernel updater its showing that my device is not supported. Also it doesnt show any performance profile in the menu. Cant you please help me in this regard? here are the screenshots:

Guys i switched to liquid remix rom and its insanely battery friendly rom, give that rom a try along with tweaks.
Definitely mind blowing
I did not use any of this and I still can get 6.5hrs of SOT, without compromising anything,(not even using black theme).

Hello guys,
I am happy to share some ways to decrease battery drain for which is problem for most poco stock miui non root users:
1- Go to every app you don't want on background (always active) and make it (restricted backgroud activity) through Settings-Manage app-choose your app-battery saver
2- For system app: you can do the same by going Settings-Manage app-choose your app-permissions-information icon-battery-choose first option and then restrict app
3- Network signals some times drains battery alot, you could decrease it by changing network bands by the following:
Go to dialer and write (*#*#4636#*#*)-phone information-set preferred network-choose LTE\CDMA\UMTS auto prl (tested on global rom was good), note that you need to change it again after every reboot
4- Disable adaptive limit battery option through Setting-battery&perfomance
5-Activate force close button through Setting-additional setting-buttons&gestures-close current app and choose shortcut you want, then at any app you should force close when you are finished with it.
6- Go to every MIUI app and disable automatic updates and recommendation receive
7- Disable location when you are finished through Setting-additional settings-privacy-location and also disable wifi scanning after every disable
8- Go to Google app through Settings-Google and disable every activity on it as you can
9- Install Greenify app from store and work with (non root device) and hibernate all apps you don't need as background
10- Disable automatic brightness, and also decrease the brightness as you can to save power
11- Go to settings-additional settings-privacy-special access-Battery optimization and then make all apps (optimized)
12-Go to settings-additional settings-authorization&revocation and then disable all apps except (updater-system app updater-feedback-battery&performance-Xiaomi sim activation-settings)
I hope these steps could help you and I'm waiting your comments for additional ways or correcting anything
Any review or test results ?
Just wondering wtf is even benefit of 4000mah battery if we need to disable every single app to get battery life. It's their optimisation not good with the latest stable build of miui

I think this is from Android system itself due to alot of system app running on backgroud

Its not their thing its an android thing. It gets heavier with every update, and since they (its a good thing gone bad) made a lot of those updates standalone of android version it makes like old tablets unusable over the yeras unlike them ipads.
That being said, the advantage of having 4000mah battery is that you still get through every day and have more than the usual midrange 3000mah phone. I get through any day for weeks now even playing games. The tips in this thread are awesome and apply to any phone.
I might as well advise you to clean your USB type-c port once in a while with toothpick since dusts can cause unnecessary wakelocks to your device

Dust in the port really causes wakelocks. For proof, visit the BBS thread.
next guide will include stop using the phone and turning it off completely
Instead of doing all these, just spend a few bucks and get a powerbank.

Hi magaedy, this list is very useful thank you very much.
Thanks to a RF detector, i found out that my Poco was emitting very often without being sollicited, now I know what to try first.
(In case you are interested in my setup, you can have a look on YouTube searching JaMa6iK4lbM).
Again thanks a lot, this forum is really interesting.

Hi magaedy, no, the Pocophone F1 has nothing special regarding its RF electromagnetic radiation, it is just that I own one and that I can do some tests with it. In terms of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), the Poco even complies with the FCC threshold which is the most stringent.
As a personal point view, i would just avoid to keep it onto my body when i must upload big files, or onto my head for long phone calls, especially when i'm not sure about the RF coverage (bad coverage implies that the mobile emits at its full power, which is e.g. 2 watts in GSM 900).
Depending on my LED light, now I can tell for sure

I would also wanted to add some battery saving tips:
1. Stick to only one, either Google or MIUI, cloud sync provider then disable everything you don't need on the other.
2. Go to Settings -> Permissions -> Other permissions -> Permissions (tab) -> Start in Background. Only choose the apps that you wanted permissions to receive notifications or third-party sync apps regularly. Others should be disabled. (IDK if this conflicts with MIUI's battery saver but I did it anyway).
3. Disable Double tap to wake or enable it in combination with pocket mode.
4. Put your phone on your pocket with display facing your leg. Prevents false trigger of FP scanner.
I have another suggestion. If using a custom ROM, don't install GApps. Instead use MicroG . I haven't done a side by side comparison, and I'll admit my usage today has been fairly lite, but so far my battery life is great!
I'm running the latest AOSiP ROM.

I use the MicroG zip from here:

If you also flash the f-droid zip, you should also install the f-droid extension module through Magisk.
Hi guys,
I'm not a developer but after hours and days of searching online to no avail, I hope you can help me.
I have been using my Poco x5 pro 5G for a few days. Noticed battery draining way too fast. As I tried to diagnose and solve the problem, I tried completely limiting background activity for the battery-eating apps, that showed as such under the "battery" section (Facebook, WhatsApp etc.).
However, even after doing this, these apps are *still* running in the background! Some of them, in addition to Facebook etc. - are apps I haven't even opened at all for the last few days.
Each time I enter the battery tab and see what apps are running - even if I do this say 3 times immediately in a row - new apps keep appearing, ones I haven't even opened, alongside ones I actually manually limited to no background activity at all.
Please see photos attached.
So frustrating. Why is this happening? What can be done about this?
Thank you!
Use universal android debloater to remove most apps coming with the phone. In my x5 pro it removed 62 packages and my battery on normal use lasts about 2 days

Thanks for your reply. I already did this (however, manually), removed many apps. And the problem persists.
Also, this doesn't explain apps still running in the background after I completey minimized their activity.

It works without root? There is any tutorial or so? After 6 years with a rooted device and costum roms it's a little desperate to have the stock miui with all the junk in it
1. Change DNS in setting to DNS.google

It's about block tracking of advertising and marketing, can save batteries much more

I've got a problem regarding Poco X5 Pro 5G, when my phone is off and I put the charger....it chargest to %95 without any problem and gets stuck at %95. Doesn't matter how long I wait it doesn't help at all. But if I start up my phone then the charging continues to %100. Does anybody know what's causing this behavior?

It's better. But I'd still expect more from a new phone. I could easily end the day with around 20%. It's fine, but i'd expect better from what I've read about other users' experience with this phone.
