To all suffering from the same, just change the battery and it will be fixed. The battery won't last for over a year if it's been through excessive and rough usage. So change it and enjoy it as good as new.

The App I Use Is Not In Play Store Anymore, But There Is Another App Called "Service Disabler", But I Warn You, Back Up Device, But Mainly App Data Is The Only Thing You Need To Back Up In Case Bootloop.
Do Not Disable "Power Genius" It Helps Close Background Prcesses
DO NOT DISABLE "com.huawei.securitymgr" OR ELSE YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP
DO NOT DISABLE "Fused Location" OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP
You Can Disable "imonitor" And Other Services To Save Battery
I Think Thats All Garenteed You Could Save Battery
Actually, the best way to check your device battery is by using an app from Play Store, 'AccuBattery'. After a couple of charging and discharging cycles, it will tell you your battery's current capacity. Mine went down to 1300 mAH only. Replaced the battery and now the capacity is correctly reported as 2973 mAH (pretty close to 3000 mAH).

It's a known issue. They apparently added the wrong power draw amount when calculating the percentages so those are wrong but it's not really using more battery, just misreporting.

I used the non-odin route and just installed it on mine. Cell standby dropped from about 30% to only 3% after install.

So with that calculation being incorrect does that result in your battery life draining faster? I just got mine on 9/22 and battery is draining significantly due to cell standby (cell radio being at the top of the list) I heard through a friend that this will be fixed with jelly bean update?
Can anyone shed some light as I just switched over from iPhone 4 and this whole battery issue is disappointing, thanks!

Battery not draining faster. Percentage reported in stats is wrong. 30% shown is actually 3% and should be at bottom of list.

Thanks for the reply prdog..one more question cuz I just came back from the Verizon Store and they can give me a new one if I go back since I just got this on Saturday..
So the reported stats is wrong as you stated in Battery setting..so thats the reason why I see my battery level indicator draining? Because it does drain pretty fast.
nearly was late for work because my phone died and i was using it as an alarm. what could have drained 50% battery in 6 hours and not show? wifi was off
while the graph is nice, better battery stats is what we need.

what you didnt post is the page with what was using your battery by %. now how are we supposed to tell you what happened and what used your battery? this thread is pointless because you gave us no usable information. what i got from the info that you did post is that a UFO flew by you and drained your battery of its power. and the thing is, my guess will be just as good as any other guess.

stock alarm app, no. but you do have a lot of wakelocks. when the screen is shown off, your device should be asleep. your device shows a lot of activity when your screens off(ironically, not when the supposed battery drain happened though, so i cant say thats why it drained).
Do you have the horrid camera bug?
Do you use exchange at all? I've had a lot of phones (android mostly htc and iphones) hit bugs from exchange in push mode and burn through their battery really quickly constantly trying to sync and hitting an error.
I charge mine on my dresser next to my head, and also use it as an alarm, I'd recommend charging it over night

Stock apps have no such issue as till date.Except for apps that use internet /wifi consume a lot of battery. So switch of those frst or keep ur cell on flight mode. The battery consumption may be due to gplay service, account sync,gmaps etc. I don't own a nexus device but I have experienced this kind of behaviour with my phone sometimes with a hot back cover sometimes.Try using apps like greenify to control this prob(or switch of ur network @ night/use lower cpu values + governers like powersave/conservative)
I had battery saver installed and seemed to do great work but when uninstalled, my tablet's battery doesn't last more than 30 mins and it got much slower too. No virus was detected from CM though.

It can be due to many reasons. Firstly, there can be many heavy ram consuming apps running in background. Try to close them. Keep the brightness of screen low. Keep Wifi and Other data connections off when not needed. You can also turn off auto-rotation. This will increase your battery backup to a considerable amount.
Incase, it doesn't makes much of a difference, you should buy a new battery !

This isnt a battery save issue. When it reaches like 92% it instantly goes to 56 and at about 51% it goes like 15% or less, or it may even go from 54% instantly to zero. How can i possibly change battery? Its a tablet. How can i open it? If taken for service will they accept it? Its rooted.

I'm sorry. I didn't read your question properly.
Keeping in mind what you're saying, it seems like a "Failing Battery" . Tablet batteries can be changed but you will have to unroot first or the people at service center won't accept your device. So, unroot first and then go to service center.

I'm seeing about 15-20% battery drain overnight, something which I have not seen since the pre-Marshmallow days. Is anyone having issues with battery drain overnight?
Nope, no issues with mine. Do you have a lot of protected apps?
may be using background data like whatsapp/facebook
No issues here - normally i charge overnight, the one night, i didn't, it lost almost nothing (at most 3%, i'm not sure...)
There's an app that runs in the background
I only have a handful of protected apps, and even for those I made them subject to optimization (Doze). It's very strange, but since I'm the only one that seems to have the issue I'll have to do some more digging. Thanks everyone!
I have the same problem. Battery drain the night. I sleep 6 hours and lost 20%. I instaled xposed, greenify and amplify but it was ineficient.
Have you K9 mail installed ? I had this issue using it, after uninstall, issue solved.
I have the battery draining issue under the night.
15-20% no whatsapp/facebook neither k9 mail installed.
Have turn off wifi and mobile data will see tomorrow if it improves.
Really big difference 4% under night with wifi and mobile data off. Have to find with app is eating the battery.
Probably,lot of protected apps...
Hi There, we recommend you check to see if any unused apps are still open on the device and to close out of them before going to sleep. You can also try turning off WiFi and Bluetooth if they are not being used while you are asleep. Another recommendation is to clear all your caches. These steps should help save on any unnecessary battery drainage. Thank you for your question! (NS)

Yes, since they can stay on background, unlike unprotected apps which get shutdown by EMUI when they are inactive for a while

same here,
Purpose of this thread is to discuss how adaptive battery works, how long it takes in terms of data collection by the algorithm to get the best results and most of all, I'd like to discuss our findings with it off and on in terms of idle drain and overall battery longevity.
How can we get a definitive answer on how this is supposed to work?
Also posted 4 poll options to see what is working best for some of us.
There has been several on-going discussions on other relative threads such as https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/pixel-3xl-ram-management-problem-t3855914 & https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/battery-drain-t3856149 but figured we consolidate.
Ill go first.
Idle drain is drastically greater with adaptive battery on.
SOT on average is 45 minutes less with adaptive battery on.
I was able to get "more" out of my battery with adaptive battery off.

How long have you had the phone? Supposedly, the benefits of adaptive battery kick in after the phone recognizes your usage patterns.

i got the phone last Wednesday, I want you to be right, but it just doesn't seem like the algorithmic AI learning is adapting fast enough...
Also my OCD isn't allowing me to tolerate it like that day after day until it decides to get it's act right.
Found this
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...tery-and-what-does-it-mean-for-app-developers
I still don't see why having adaptive battery on would get worse battery than having it off. It should get me the same battery life as having it off, only until the AI learns my usage better which by then it should extend the longevity of my battery
Left adaptive battery on.
Overnight loss is 11%
Look at the awake screen off time.
5 min phone call. Little WhatsApp and Facebook use.
With adaptive battery off I had 1.5 hour phone call 1 hour WhatsApp video call. Nearly 6 hrs sot, 3% overnight loss

Not sure but that's what I do for the best battery life. I don't turn off adaptive and just restrict apps I know have caused issues in the past for me. See the attached screen for where the battery restrict for each app is found.
