Since OOS5.1.8 my OP6 battery was draining too fast...
things I have tried to stop this draining
Rooted and installed Greenify to hibernate some battery consuming apps like Facebook (5.1.8)- Still Draining
Clear cache in bootloader - Still Draining
Factory Reset - Still Draining
Using below tools I downgraded from 5.1.8 to 5.1.5

With mobile data on and wifi on ...my battery was draining as mobile data was causing Awake every time.
Since Mobile data turned off and WIFI on, I am getting good battery life :good:

What do you mean by untickmobile data? Is there a specific setting or you just manually turn off mobile data while using wifi?

Or what you could do OP is download the "full" 5.1.8 rom and flash that, along with TWRP and Magisk. Don't flash from the OTA update as this seems to cause the drain. Sorts the issue of battery drain for me anyway.

It was posted in the forum, I tried this also but draining didn't stop.

While you have access to wifi, turn off mobile data and try .......Also, compare awake in the battery graph.

Wait... so how did you fix the drain? Because it seems that you didn't fix anything besides turning off mobile data? What if you turn off mobile data in 5.1.8?

I haven't tried this with 5.1.8....Turning off the mobile data was the thing that worked for me and one of my friend's 8gb version.

But then this isn't really a fix tho.... what if you have the same battery life on 5.1.8 with mobile data turned off? What if this isn't rom related but maybe your 4g connection? I have had this problem also on my galaxy s7 phone and after switching 4g off and turn on 3g is solved the drain but turning off mobile data as a whole isn't really a fix because what if you need to leave the house and have to use the mobile data.

There is no battery drain issues associated specifically with 5.1.8 but likely update files that never deleted properly after the update and this a lot of times causes a corruption. Just do a factory reset, or better yet, just install the full 5.1.8 full zip and you won't have this issue.
I'm getting 2% drain overnight (7 hours) and 10+hours of sot with about 36 hours off charge with 1.9%-3.4% combine drain per hour on 5.1.8 so certainly no issues with the latest update with battery drain. Only thing I do is turn off sync in Google account and just manually sync contacts and calendar when I make new entries and restrict background data on apps that I don't need waking the device all the time. I also turn off location permissions to apps that also don't need it.

Thank you for stating the obvious. But at least, you have the decency to provide some information. I see this kind of complaint a lot on the one plus forum (not xda) and everytime, the post is something like this : "I have a battery drain. Help me." What kind of help do they expect with zero information ?

Mobile Data turning off during standby automatically problem

I've been unable to get around this problem for the last few weeks now.
No matter what ROM my Milestone is on (It's the latest CM7 right now), it's been having problems keeping the mobile (2G/3G) data connection on, it seems lose connection every time the phone goes into standby.
At first I thought I was just losing connection to gtalk but I've caught the phone a few times coming out of standby with the data icon missing and then showing up a second later.
Other basic details;
I always flash the Singapore baseband from OR (which AFAIK is the same for Malaysia)
No battery saving apps
No Toggle2G use
WIFI has no data connectivity issues
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out this problem as it's a real killer to not get txts (gmail/whatsapp/etc), emails etc on-time
Going to try to leave wifi off for a day instead of a few hours for a better battery status screenshot but you can see what's happening in this one

In the period without wifi, and the period with actually, you can see I keep losing 3G/sync. This happens whether I'm moving or in the same location. Hell, it happens even at home.
Anyone think that flashing all the way back to stock froyo etc might help?
Are there any log files I should be looking at or posting for someone to help me with to figure out wtf?
I should also mention that this screenshot is from a FRESH flash of the latest CM7 from kabaldan, so I've ruled out (many many many times) that it's just a bad flash, or a bad rom (it does this on HO!NO!, FroyoMOD, milaq's cm6 and kabaldan's cm7 and probably others as well but those are the ones I've tried)
At this rate I'll get a new phone just for my sanity
I have the exact same problem with froyomod! help please!
update
I've flashed back to stock then to GOT 2.2.1 then to CM7 and it seems to have improved things by a lot on the first day. You can still see it happening however.
Looks like going to Stock -> GOT 2.2.1 -> CM7 has fixed my issue. More time needed but looks good already, I'm going to put down momentary loss of connection/3G as normal network issue rather than made by the phone now.
As you can tell, the last 2 screenshots have improved tremendously since re-flashing from stock
gosunta,
get on it, just follow the sticky'd posts.
I may have spoke too soon, it's still no good. New screenie in 6 or so hours to see if it continues.
Yep it's still doing it. It's worse when on the move and it obviously only notices its not connected/in-sync whenever I wake it up. I actually dropped the phone today and apart of me kinda hoped it would break so I could justify a new phone hahah .
Going to try going back a few versions of CM7 and see if that fixes it. Sick of this.
I had an idea a few hours ago of replacing the modded Talk (as included in Kabaldan's cm7 gapps or Ho!no! etc) for the stock one, so I went ahead and flashed gapps-gb-20110828-signed from the CM7 page.
Seems good so far over the last 2-3 hours, will report back in a day or two with screenshots. I hope this works. Also, if it does work I'm just going to go ahead and kill myself after all the flashing over and over of millions of roms (or so it feels hehehe)
There is no modding done to Google apps itself in the package I upload. Modding gapps is a bad idea, you would destroy the signatures by it, they need to match.
Only the updater script and app choice is modified.
Try to add this:
Code:
service dhcpcd_rmnet0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -ABKL
class post-zygote_services
disabled
oneshot
service iprenew_rmnet0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -n
class post-zygote_services
disabled
oneshot
to /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc like it can be seen here:
https://github.com/nadlabak/android...rebuilt/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc#L539
Let me know if it helped.
Btw., do you get connection to google servers at all when you switch to 2g only?
Hahah yeah I've just realised that your gapps isn't the issue, my bad kabs . It's still having the same problem now, lemme try your suggestion right now.
And yes, I do have connection to google servers while on 2g only.
edit in a few minutes.
Excuse the late reply as I've been busy but I figured it'd give me more screenshots of testing kabaldan's suggestion but...
Also note how the brown bars tend to correlate to when the phone is awake and even happening while the phone is awake.
It's still happening but I've noticed that the phone is at least capable of getting out of 2G and into 3G with some network activity which it has always done after sometime of use, get stuck in 2G and then I'd have to manually toggle it back despite WCDMA preference and no Toggle2G or Battery Saver usage.
I've noticed that I'm less likely to be disconnected from gtalk now though, it still happens obviously. My last chrome2phone sent link I waited 2 minutes with no response until I brought it out of standby and proceeded to use dropbox (thereby, I guess, it prompting to check connection to things...).
Kind of hankering to upgrade phones at this point but with the majority of phones being retail here and the fact that even a pre-order special of the Galaxy Nexus from my telco with a 24 month contract only results in saving less than 50EUR over retail, it would seem kind of stupid to get most phones still since everything is on the cusp of changing over the ICS :-/. Also STILL no droid3 here and I guess quite a few of us Milestone users love QWERTY like me
Same **** different day. Everyday. Going to now try updating to the newest CM7 and see if it still does it, been very busy (and disheartened by this issue as well) I only just noticed Kab's has 7.1.4 up.
I think I'm just going to start saving for a new phone
Have you tried using Toggle 2G/3G and setting 2G when screen is off? Yes, I know, it is not the solution, but, you would not gain anything using 3G with screen off and it would avoid this crazy 2G/3G/2G loop you get... I believe it is a decent work around.
By the way, in Brazil I got the same issue, only to realize that my phone carrier/operator is the one to blame, they have sold too much lines and their 3G connection is totally unrealiable due to that... When I saw that many of my friends were having the same issue with this carrier, then I've noticed that it was not the phone causing this issue... Perhaps somehow you are having the same issue, or, perhaps, someone build anything new between you and the tower causing this unrealiable connections (or perhaps you really have an issue). Are you sure you have flashed the proper baseband for your region? I believe CM7 comes with European Baseband (900/2100) which I believe is not the best for you....
The toggle2g suggestion might work, I'll look into it and see if it does it. However, I do think that I'm losing sync with g-chat even over 2G occasionally as well but I'll check anyway to be sure.
It seems to me that it specifically loses the data connection whenever the screen is off, as if its got a similar setting that it goes to sleep like "Wifi off when sleep". The actually annoying part is that when it does lose sync, it takes quite sometime before it gets it again (sometimes doesn't) or until I wake it. It looks like a loop but it clearly often matches against the Awake bars as well, ie the phone only noticing its not in sync (or 3g) when the phone is awaken.
Definitely don't have carrier problems, ruled that out as there's 3 others on same carrier at home without issue. Euro baseband seems to be the same thing but I always flash to Singapore anyway just to be sure.
I'll keep testing, I thought 7.1.4 CM7 update might fix this but it seems to be doing the same thing anyway . That reminds me that I need to try an older ROM and see if that helps.
kabaldan,
Any chance that if SU was denying radio permission that it would do this?
I've just noticed that in my SU logs radio keeps getting denied. In fact it has occurred to me that I haven't seen the Radio Allow/Deny SU screen every time I flash for some time now. I guess it gets stuck behind the setup-wizard screen and times out :-/
I'm reflashing to current CM7 right now and then if it happens again will Clear Data on SU and see if the radio permission screen comes up again and then check if its fixed my ****.
"Radio" asking for root permissions is Toggle2G.
Thanks for clearing that up for me kabaldan <3
I think I'm just going to assume my 3G radio is defective for now and put up with it.
Found this
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/issues/detail?id=116
Uninstalled it and reflashed.
Testing now. Looks good so far in battery stats.
EDIT:
Nope, not that either. OK I give up . It's definitely only doing it whenever it goes to Standby however. I've been running Sleep as Android lately to track my sleep cycles and it never loses sync when the screen is awake (the screen dims to minimum so that the app can track sleep, thus meaning the phone is always awake)
Any news on that issue? I'm having the same problem.
I'm having trouble with 3g and battery, my phone normally lasts for 16hs aprox with 6 hours of wifi and little / medium use, and I do not have a mobile data plan, so I never use it.
But, whenever I use 3g, my battery drops from 100% to 0% in less than 5 hours of almost "idle" and even with the screen off , it starts to heat like if I were playing Nova2 with a Walkie Talkie .
This is a battery problem or the mobile is not working properlly ?
Thanks

[Q] Save my sanity! Wifi and data disables on screen off!

OK, let me first state that I have no battery saving apps installed, power saving is off and my wifi policy is set to always keep wifi awake.
Still, whenever my screen has been off for a few seconds (I'm guessing what happens is that the phone goes into deep sleep), both my wifi and my data connection goes into some kind of sleep state as well, making connections to and from the phone impossible. This means that push messages and mail aren't delivered and oftentimes when I turn on my phone again the messages start chiming in. Note that wifi and/or data don't need to reestablish after I turn the screen back on. They're still connected, just not active.
Using FTPServer on my One S and connecting from a pc confirms that all data sending (on both wifi and data) ceases after I turn off the screen.
When the phone is plugged in, all is dandy and all connections are kept alive!
I'm currently running running ViperS ROM, but this issue has plagued me across different ROMs (both sense and aosp) and across different radios as well.
I've literally (almost) googled my ass off on this issue, but I'm at my wits end. This shouldn't be related to HTC's SmartSync, since (1) I've disabled it in VenomTweaks and (2) It supposedly doesn't kick in until after 15 minutes. All my accounts have auto-sync activated and I've also disabled stuff like "restrict background data".
I've tried with and without the sleep mode settings under power settings below activated (w/ reboot after change).

For it to work the you need to use power saver so if you don't want it doing the other things then turn them off first then turn on power saver.

Now I'm on 2.15.0000 with radio 1.11.50.05.28.
I flashed the ICS RUU to do the official JB OTA in order to upgrade from my old hboot 1.14.0002 and radio 1.06es because I believed the old hboot and radio were the culprits in this. Sadly, they weren't.
To add insult to injury, I tried setting up a completely new google account as well as setting up a special hotmail account in the stock JB in case either of those were causing trouble with push message delays. Same crap though. Most nothing coming through until the screen was turned on.

Have you tried AOSP based ROMs as well? Made no difference for me, but YMMV...
But I agree that it's frustrating! It's 2013, everyone and their grandma are online 24/7 and I'm lucky if I get a mail notification within an hour of it actually arriving!

Yes AOSP ROMS as well. Resetting my router seemed to fix it as far as Wifi is concerned. Can't test data at the moment.

[Q] Stamina Mode

Hi guys. My stamina mode is not working properly. I search for it and found a solution. Clear eco mode controller from settings-apps-all. But the problem is i cant even see that thing "eco mode controller". Any ideas?
P.S. I thought the stamina mode also disbale wifi and mobile data when the screen is off. But in my case, even if my screen is off i am receiving messages in my messenger.

Check exception list, you probably have some apps on your "white list".
Just go to settings/power management/stamina mode and check for "apps active in standby"
Stamina mode must, if there's no exceptions, disable wifi and mobile data.

I don't know about the data etc, but on mine, with Stamina enabled, both the processor slows down as it should, and the device only wakes when I turn on the screen.
Maybe it is queuing the background data and checking at intervals and turning on data to check?

I already tried it. I even factory rest my phone. I think mine is stock rom. I just bought this phone 4 days ago.

I read this post last week when I still had my D6633 (Dual) with generic HK firmware and didn't pay too much attention because mine was working fine, I mean, I tried it a couple of times and it worked great, the last time I used it I had just 1% left and tried this and 2 hours left I still had the 1% left.
Fast Forwarding to this week, I sold my D6633 over the weekend and got a D6603, it came with Latin American Firmware so I decided to flash the Custom US one, in a summary, I tried the Stamina Mode yesterday and for my surprise I had the same results than the OP, even with the Screen off I still kept receiving messages and the battery kept draining as normal. So, obviously I just checked that there is no Active Apps while activated and that the option to disable wifi and Data is checked, it's just set exactly as my D6633 but this one seems to not be working as it should.
Just like the OP there is no Eco mode controller to clear and can't find any Stamina Mode App either, so there is nothing here that I can do. Resetting the device, just to see if it's going to work or not is not a good idea for me, as I've been setting everything as I like for days and I'm not trusting the Sony Backup and restore (Sony PC Companion) as I did a Full backup with it and it didn't restore anything other than messages and calls when I restored it to the D6603, maybe it was because they are different models, but until I hear that it's as reliable as the LG one (where you can do a Backup/restore almost as good as the iOS ones) I'll hold trying to make resets.
Anybody else having the same issues or is this a D6603 issue?

Resetting the device, just to see if it's going to work or not is not a good idea for me, as I've been setting everything as I like for days and I'm not trusting the Sony Backup and restore (Sony PC Companion) as I did a Full backup with it and it didn't restore anything other than messages and calls when I restored it to the D6603, maybe it was because they are different models, but until I hear that it's as reliable as the LG one (where you can do a Backup/restore almost as good as the iOS ones) I'll hold trying to make resets.
Anybody else having the same issues or is this a D6603 issue?

I can't find either of those apps as well. I'm on a D6603 and Stamina mode is not functioning as it should. Ultra mode does however. Tried a factory reset and noticed the same issue of the phone not going into Stamina mode. I hope Sony is aware, and we see a fix soon.

G930W8 Rebooting several times a day

I have a G930W8 that was supposedly brand new, running stock 7.0 with TWRP and SuperSU. It reboots 1-3 times a day at random times while I'm not using the phone.
I've factory reset it and only loaded a few apps on it, cleared davlik and cache, reloaded the stock rom from odin - it is still happening. Does anyone have any tips on how to diagnose? I've tried looking through the last_kmsg files but I can't make much sense out o them - should they be able to identify the cause for the crashing? I'm trying to determine if it's a hardware issue or something else.
I did have over 40k sms / mms messages on there that I'm clearing out now, would that cause spontaneous reboots?
Thanks for any help.

40k SMS could cause problems, but you said you factory reset, that would have cleared them

Thanks. I reloaded them after the reset with a backup and restore app. I changed the setting to only keep 1k messages on there now and will monitor.
Hopefully that was the issue, but really wondering if I will be able to make sense of the last_kmsg logs at all.
If the smaller quantity of messages on there doesn't resolve the issue, I'll try runnning it without an sdcard for a day. I initially suspected a problem with the sdcard, formatted it since - formatting did not resolve the issue.
Am I looking in the right spot? Since clearing out my sms messages, it still crashes on me every few hours. I pulled the last two kmsg files from the last two reboots. Is there anyone that can let me know if I'm looking at the right files to diagnose?
Is this area of the file telling me anything useful?

UPDATE:
I left the country for 8 days and was using a Costa Rica SIM card (and various different wifi connections) - the phone did not reboot a single time in 8 days.
On my first day back home, after putting my AT&T SIM card back in (this is a new card that I just got a few weeks ago from AT&T), and being connected to my home wifi - it has started spontaneously rebooting again. I've reset the network connections, it has not helped.
I'm torn between whether I got a bad SIM card that could be causing the reboots, or if it is something wrong with the wifi and my home network, or a combination of both. Many of the reboots seem to occur when I switch from LTE to wifi. It is a very difficult issue to reproduce.
Any suggestions on how to isolate the issue, any settings to check, or if it sounds like a radio or hardware issue?
Thanks.

Yea, disable WiFi for another week, if it stops, it's the wifi, if it still crashes it's the SIM
Thanks. It just crashed again with wifi turned off, so that rules out that.
So it seems likely either a bad SIM, or the phone is having issues with the LTE network. I notice the network switches from LTE to LTE+ often.
It would be odd if it is a bad SIM as it is only a few weeks old, but I'll swap it out with AT&T.
Knowing that wifi is not an issue, any other suggestions other than a bad SIM? I'm also wondering if maybe the sim tray does not hold the hard well and it's loose.
Thanks for the support.

Just keep with your elimination technique, looks like you're almost down to the cause, be it SIM or LTE/+
Switch SIMs, if it doesn't crash when switching between LTE and + then ask your carrier for a new SIM
Couldn't a log file of some sort be run to trap/identify the app and error?
ok i had this problem when buy my s7 10 months ago with stock firmware. all ways reset/on/off/clear cach/format....noting useful so i tried to update but no new update so i force to download whole new firmware with another csc from another region( i downloaded rom of UK) and flashed to phone with Odin. and Wow problem is gone....finish...end .
maybe useful for u.

[Andromeda] Random battery drain / Phone staying awake

Anyone one else suffering with random battery drain / phone staying awake? See attachment.
Temporary fixes include include rebooting the phone, turning on battery saver mode & forcing 4G only but who really wants to do that? I believe its a kernel issue.
I'm running the latest EEA ROM, completely stock and unrooted. Any ideas how to resolve this? it isn't android system doing it.
Check your app autostarts. I bet they are all on. #softwareupdatefails

None of them are on. aside of Nova and accubattery.
Interesting. Only other things I've seen on the regular Mix like that is Bluetooth draining battery when used. I've seen 20% in a couple hours from using a headset and listening to music.
You could try installing BBS and.see if it seems anything untword.

Use BBS or GSAM Battery for seing what is draining battery. My bet is "GMS". You may root your phone and install magisk module "universal gms doze" or install link2sd, for example, and freeze almost all google services. I've done both and i do above 5 or 6 screen hours

It's such a big bug I don't understand why they don't do something about it already!
It's still continuing. I don't want to root my phone this is something that doesn't need root to fix
See attachment
I'm having the same problem. BUT , ONLY on WIFI got 2-3 days of use and 7-8 hours SOT !
I've tried BBS and actually I'm using GSam but nothing relevant found there. Just these days, on home enclosure I've noticed that if don't switch Wifi and Mobile Data the phone works perfectly and doesn't keep awake.
I have lot of Apps installed, NFC active, Wifi, location - GPS, Google apps, BT enabled with MiBand .. EVERYTHING ... (except 5G that is unavaliable with my actual operator) and in this conditions (only Wifi) , I have no issues on 15 days of use, so I suspect is Mobile Data related.
Maybe someone with more knowledgde can found an explanation and bring some help !!!
PD: I'm trying with Mobile Data again with 4G as preferred net , don't know if the system can swith it to 5G again ... driving to battery drainig. We'll see.

Thanks for the reply.
This doesn't work for me, I've been using GPS with no awake issues. The problem starts at certain time ramdomly even with GPS off.
Someone said something about clearing cache of Google Play Services, that worked for a couple of days but again the problem was there.
By now I'm trying the 4G solution, if the phone keeps the preferences for 4G not switching to 5G by itself (except on reboot) and then look if it doesn't keep awake without reason.

Did this work? I'm having the exact same issue. Massive battery drain overnight while phone is on airplane mode and absolutely nothing turned on (Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS all turned off) Not a single app has autostart permission. What can I do?
