The battery life on my Desire is horrible, and I would like to acheive some of the great battery performance I've been reading of other members. I've got LeeDroid 2.1a A2SD+ ver., with the 38.44 radio (I installed older versions in hopes of acheiving better battery). I am now getting far worse performance then when I had new versions of LD/radio, because "something" is draining the battery. ie. Before, I'd get 15% loss per hour during the day, and 1% loss per hour at night during my sleep, with the screen and wifi ON, (using GentleAlarm night clock, which shows the time but on a dimmed screen). Now, I have a 75% loss during 8 hrs of sleep! I even installed "Juice Defender" (Pro ver. with "Ultimate Juice"), which turns off wifi for a few hours, etc. It did nothing to improve battery life, or possibly made things worse. I tried uninstalling some programs, but nothing's changed yet. How can I find out which program or configuration is causing the battery drainage problem?
Battery Indicator Pro stats (8h40m since unplugged):
DISPLAY: 42%
CELL STANDBY: 26%
WIFI: 25%
ANDROID SYSTEM: 5%
PHONE IDLE: 2%
Quick Info stats:
Running: 95.9%
Screen on: 95.9%
Wifi On: 95.7%
Wifi Running: 95.6%
Wi-Fi drains faster than anything, if you're not using it then shut it off! Also, 15% drain per hour during the day and 1% at night isn't that bad. I would switch back to your first configuration. Maybe you're not taking into account how much you're really using your phone?
Well I'm comparing battery performance when I am NOT using my phone at all (during my sleep), and its night and day. When I was getting 15% per hr, 1% loss at night, that was with wifi ON (ie. JuiceDefender was not installed then, and it cuts off Wifi at scheduled times). I'd like to switch back to my first configuration, except that's my prob lem: I have no idea what that configuration was exactly. Lots of programs installed and uninstalled since. I'm going to take a look at a few apps though that might help me understand how to control battery performance.

I took a screenshot of the drain. It was at 91% when I set it off and put it down for the night. When I woke up from my sleep around 7 hours later, it was at 86%. With mobile data I've been getting much more drain than that, like around 12%. I thought turning off mobile data would solve it, but something still seems to be draining it. What else could be the problem?
I have the same situation on MM, 1% drop per hour minimum. tried turn off data, set only HDSPA, currently installed wakelock detector and greenify i will keep monitoring.
I dont have any batt drops in LP, almost always 1-2% per night.
I tried flash stock .163 and now .185 for UE1 and for germany (im from poland) so roms are for my region. Clean install, dirty install, LB and UB, now rooted, the same situation.
For me battery life on MM sucks :crying:

MM battery was okay for me for a bit it seemed, but then the battery drain seemed to jump up a bit. On LP I was bit hard by the "mobile radio active" bug, and it's still getting me on LP, even back on my Z3c, ugh, it's really frustrating. Mobile radio still shows up for me a lot in MM too, I don't know, that part seems like a google/google play services problem, but this other battery draining that's happening, I'm not too sure, and looking at battery system stats, or using another app such as gsam battery monitor, I haven't been able to deduce anything, but if you see anything, please update us.

Here is mine ss, if You can help
I unplug charger at 00:19 with 99% battery, in morning aroun 5AM i have 93%
I don't have any screenshots but I've noticed that in the last couple of weeks (running stock MM), my battery is draining much quicker than expected. I use Tasker to control wifi / sync / other stuff but don't have it running like the old Ultra Stamina but my battery will now drain in 12 hours of normal use (not playing games, watching movies). Looking at GSam battery monitor, the phone radio is draining quite a bit and at no point has the phone entered deep sleep.
Annoying as I used to easily get 36 hours between charges.
since i upgraded to Android 6.0 I lose 1% per minute when the screen is on and I go from 100% to 0% in approx. 8 hours, compared to 1 day+ before.
Same for me :c since the update got less than 3 hour SOT , doze does not help me as i have my phone on my hands or pocket most of the time, it never activates
and i saw the 1% bat drain per minute or so while im on chrome ( i just use crhome, nor videos nor games, no facebook apps installed)

Even with doze, it doesn't work that well, cuz my battery still drained turning off network. Although, last night, I turned on airplane mode, and it drained less, only 3%, but I still feel like there's something going on in the background that makes it drain so dang much.
I almost haven't used my phone since full charge and see: Screen usage is very high, as soon as I turn on, it drops by 1% per minute. I haven't changed anything since MM update and before that I could (heavy) use my phone for 1day+.
I bought this phone cause I couldn't use my LG G2 for a full day anymore, and now I can't even use this new one for half day....

I fixed my battery extremely fast draining by uninstalling Facebook Messenger, now I'm back to 1 day and half estimated use. What happened with this app ? It wasn't battery consuming with Lollipop.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am not too pleased about idle battery drain.
Overnight, about 8h it consumes about 3%-5%. Sometimes more than 10%, if the device doesn't go in deep sleep for whatever reason..
If commute, it takes more battery (maybe sensors, switch to mobile data, etc).
About 20% in 9hours. wifi most of the time with about 1h hour on mobile data. And movement in pocket about 20-30mins.
My experience with idle drain has been good overall. Getting around 0.5% per hr
My idle drain is horrendous. I'm getting around 20% drain over night (7h sleep) with nothing enabled but WiFi. And that's with Greenify. I'm thinking of rooting and flashing the EX Kernel, but wanted to wait for an obviously outstanding major update before doing so.

Android System, Phone Services + Google Services, but only if WiFi/data is on. If they are off the battery life is perfect.

Battery was good until yesterday, 8hrs SOT circa. Suddenly battery starts draining and can I barely reach 2,30 SOT. Any idea? No apps showed in battery page, the only app I downloaded yesterday was Textra SMS (Beta), but it's very strange that it can drains so much.

For me Chrome was a big culprit for battery drain. Try to delete the cache and the storage of the app. You can as well disable and it and re enable it. That should be enough. Anyway, Chrome is a battery hog. I am thinking about switching to Opera or Firefox. Any recommendation for browsers?
I use Firefox with the add-on 'Dark Background and Light Text'. I have it set to turn the background of all pages to true black.
2% over night (7 hours) pretty pleased. But it was even better on OP3 when the drain over night was 0-1%
I'm on RR with no GAPPS and lost about 1.5% in about 8.5hrs of not being used (sleep + getting ready in the AM)
I have TASKER, and have set airplane mode to come on 8pm - 3am.
Currently getting roughly 2-3% drain in that "airplane mode" time

What the? Do you have gestures enabled (eg: double tap to wake)?
In my opinion it consumes too much.. one time i got about 3% drain in about 8-9h idle with wifi on and no commute.
That's why i hate android idle drain. A never-ending issue.
SOT only 34 mins, 1h mobile data, the rest on wifi.
I've disabled gestures, location history, no google fit, etc etc
Not bad here. About .3% per hour overnight. So about 2% overnight. That's on 4G as I rarely ever have my phone on WiFi. I also have email at to push (2 accounts) and I usually turn off the sync stuff in my Google account. Things like app data, calendar, contacts and the rest. I just sync when I make changes like adding a contract I then toggle the contacts on then off kind of thing. No need to let it sync all day and night for nothing imo.
I just have that drain when location is set to "high accuracy". When its set to "battery saving" everthing seems fine.
I don't know what's wrong with my device/apps. Several times now i had a standby drain in around 7 hours of 30%+. I didn't plug my phone in overnight because of Dash charging, when I went to bed, the battery was at 37%. The next morning I overslept massively and completely missed my shift because my battery died over night. This is with airplane mode on during 75% of the night. The highest drain in battery settings was displayed for "Android System" with around 12% or so, but that was with the last day counted in. I feel like the battery drain stats in settings are completely unreliable...
Except from that I get normal battery life during the day though, although during the first few days standby drain was higher than screen on drain...

Yeah man you need to download accubattery or something to monitor the drain. That's ridiculous. And yeah I've been kinda confused about the stock battery stats as well. It seems to tell you nothing.
I have noticed a lot more battery drain since the 911 update a few days ago. I was getting 7ish sot now I'm under 5hrs. I'll bet I'm not the only one who noticed it though. It'll be fixed don't worry.

I had AccuBattery installed at first but it didn't give me any meaningful insights so I uninstalled it a few weeks later.
I normally only get around 3 hours of SOT, but I'm not into mobile gaming or YouTube so that is normal...
I notice significant drain in idle after the 4.5.6 update last week. Android system seems to be the culprit, but not sure what's process under this is actually causing the problem.
All radios on, and 2 mail accounts syncing.
I have this weird issue. It appeared around Christmas.
I tend to leave my phone with wifi and data off during the night.
Since about a month ago I get a huge drain when I do this. About 3% or even more per hour. I may lose 20-30% when I sleep.
No Ambient Display on, no data, not anything else.
Phone signal is excellent and moreover this drain does not happen when I leave the phone with 4G on. I lose about 1% or less. It's only when I disable data-wifi. I also tried with airplane mode on and drain was minimal. With wifi on, I get some drain but it's acceptable (my router is a bit far).
I used both BBS and GSam and I cannot find the culprit.
It doesn't have anything to do with any 3rd party apps and wakelocks are minimal.
I get RCS Phone as the top drain. I know that this replaces the Android System in some cases, but I'm wondering that maybe it's the RCS Service or something (because it got an update during December and the problem appeared around then).
January update did not change anything. Drain during normal use and the rest of the day is pretty normal.
Any ideas? Anyone else that may have experienced something similar?
The first screenshot is my battery life and as you can see Doze was applied but it still drained 10% in 8 hours. In the second screenshot of Better Battery Stats, it shows I have a lot of the phone being awake while the screen is off.
How can I figure out what is causing it to be awake and fix it?
Please let me know if you need other sections of battery stats or anything. Thanks

same things , im on on 10.3. it was pretty good during fresh install like 2 % in 6-7 hr. now 10% overnight drain everything off
PlusBeat installed? Had the same issue. No drain with it under 9, high drain under 10. BBS did not show this app. Found it only after freezing one app after another.
I really can't understand how you guys end up with these drains. Since I rooted I've taken about 7 updates to 10.0.2 , never wiped my phone and never encounter that type of idle drain. Check my screenshot it shows 0% drain in 6hrs with only 10% deep sleep which makes no sense at all. What's crazy is im trying to perform a battery test to get to 10hrs SOT with regular use but my uptime won't be accounted for in the battery menu because it starts calculating after you lose one percent. Thus the discrepancy in the screenshots
Some app is preventing your device from going into deep sleep. Facebook was the culprit for me.
Do you have a custom kernel installed? Something changed in a recent update & there's a service that goes haywire if you have a custom kernel & keeps one CPU core at 100% constantly. I found it in system logs as "vendor.oneplus.hardware.brain". My idle drain was over 4%/hr till I figured it out. See this post for how to stop it:
