Battery Drain - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I have installed Oxygen B12 and i flash SmurfKernel (i select power-save mode from Spectrum app) and NoLimits 4.5a magisk mod. For some reason battery is draining faster than before and i dont know whats the reason. Can anyone help me?

Same here!

I use stable 9.0.4, Smurf Kernel and xxx mods. My usage varies between 5 and 7 hours SoT, with Maps, Games and music. Of course, if I push the phone harder it will provide less SoT. Are your apps in check? Use BBS to check for wakelocks and abnormal processes running. It will give you clues as to why your battery is draining faster than usual.

The battery drain 1% per hour during the night and 1% every four minutes of sot. On the 9.0.4 the discharge was 1% every 6 minutes of sot and 3% or 4% during the night (10h),

Same here. I just switched back to the stock kernel last night. based on my personal opinion the stock kernel is way better for battery life. The only differences I've noticed after using Smurf kernel was that the interface was a bit smoother.. that's about it. Your sacrificing 1-2 hours of battery life for a bit of fluidity. For me it's not worth it.

I just downloaded BBS to see if its any of my application that its cause the problem. But i dont think that is my applications the problem because i didnt download any new app and i noticed more battery drain after the update to beta12 (beta12 and 9.0.4 have the same features right?) and Smurf Kernel and xxx mod. I dont know if the problem is from the update or from the Kernel

You noticed better battery life in general when you flashed back to stock kernel? And on standby?

0.2% - 0.3% per hour here while I sleep
smurf performance profile + batterysave.

Yes..way better..except for the standby drain. I'd lose 3-4% overnight. I can live with that though. It's better than losing 1-2 hours of battery life while in use

Like I said. The kernel is only good for standby battery life..with the default kernel you lose a little bit more.

Nope. No other mods than kernel + xXx.

I have not rooted my phone yet or installed any custom kernel etc.
The battery drain I noticed increased after the latest 12 beta update from OTA.
I am also noticing quite allot of heat coming of my phone.

Battery Lifespan?

How do I know when to change my battery?
I'm using cm10.1 07/14 for 5 months now without issues,but for past 3 days 5-8% battery discharge during standby, heating on charging or web browsing or even ui browsing and unusually low RAM.
Or is it some apps or games I've recently installed. I suspect that it might be new version of AVG antivirus, any ideas?
Please help! Thanks
Is your battery OEM or third party?

Have you flashed custom ROMs on the phone? If so, you should go and get an app like Battery Calibrator, which could recalibrate the battery and display the proper battery percentage. It's possible that your battery is fine, but your phone doesn't know any better since flashing ROMs mess up the cache.

Battery issue

Hi, two weeks ago I flashed the cm, then battery started to drop by 2% and very quickly..i tried also mokee..same problem, so i restored the multi that i had before having the issue. But it didn't solve, so now the battery drops very quick..any advice..?
you can try to calibrate your battery, search store
I've already tried but it didn't solve
Many things can cause battery drain, the music player, your settings, depends on type of use, bad cell reception, etc.

Right.
And i too have the 2% drops often, but there for when i use it, it stays 10 minutes on the same %, so no problem. For me its normal to lose 1% battery for 5 minutes screen on. So i don't care if it stays 10 minutes on the same % and then drops 2%

Apparently according to a Google employee, those apps are absolutely useless as they only delete some log files, so it doesn't really affect the battery life at all. Can't provide a source right now, but you can easily google it.

I agree..apps for this are useless

The battery "calibrates" itself automatically when you charge over 90%. In other words, the batterystats file is resettet, the same what these apps are doing.

Yeah, i read through it, but i really can't help. Even i don't know why some of you get such a bad battery life. All i know is, that I'm really satisfied with my battery. Even yesterday, i took 300 photos, had 4 and a half hours screen on and still 18% left when i went to bed.

Q 1: How long does the battery last? Q2: does it have wireless charging?

Hi
I am thinking of buying the phone. But battery is a real concern for me (my last good phone battery wise was Z2. Since then I had the LG G4 and currently on a temp phone the HTC M7 whose batteries are horrendous).
I am almost pulling the trigger on this phone but those two concerns are quite important for me.
Thank you,

Hey on a mixed general use with 4g .You would get screen on time between 3.5 to 4 hrs. If on wifi full day 4.5 - 5 hrs Sot.

Battery life test
Battery isn't as bad as i expected it to be from all the comments I heard. It's about the same with Iphone 7 Plus that i have. It dropped about 3% overnight without charging. As for use, I haven't tested it out with intense game like pokemongo but general use it dropped about 10% every hour and a half.
Standby time is good. However, practical use without the stamina mode and my battery is already at 60% at 12 noon. This is with Wifi on; bluetooth off, location off. It's dreadful but not the end of the world. Hopefully it will settle down with time.
Edit: My phone is 2 days old.

How do you get over 5 hours of screen on time? for me on average android OS and android system take up 20-25% of the battery.
Not only on this phone but on my previous Note 7 and S7 edge too!
@dpbg, @Gkstates , @junedkaka thank you for the quick reply. I can't believe sony reduced the battery life on the phone.
Do any of you know if there is wireless charging?

That 5 hr screen on time was on wifi and continous use almost over a period of 10 hours
I dont have a type C wireless charger to test it with so I'm not sure. I think battery is okay with general use. I text, check email, browse web throughout the day and it usually lasts me until 7 or 8 pm.

That's ok. i'm on office wifi all day with intermittent breaks. cell reception is also decent. So not sure why I'm getting only around 2 hours of SOT.
My battery life isn't a patch on my iPhone 6S+.
Web browsing over WiFi slays it.
How long does the battery take to charge? Mine seems really slow, plugged it in an hour ago, and its only gone up 2%

OnePlus 6 5.1.6 battery life

Updated to 5.1.6 yesterday and used my phone pretty heavily today battery life is great screen brightness between 50 and 75% and at 35% left I have had a SOT of 5 hours and 10 minutes!
Testing SOT. Good so far.
I've got 5 hours SOT , include playing PUBG 2 hours ?
I'm about to call it a night. Good run so far. Better than 5.1.5.

Come on that is impossible, one game of PUBG that is roughly ~ 25 mins on wifi takes away 13% battery...
What settings do you play at...? I play at smooth detail level and extreme framerate setting.
And my battery for one game falls by 13% approx.

I don't really play games. I have a live wallpaper running, WiFi Bluetooth and gps always on while maintaining from 15 to 30% brightness throughout the day. I have Google wakelocks disabled and I use Facebook on chrome web browser.

So did the new OTA fix the battery issues?
I got better battery hour even after gaming fb wasap 9gag snap some picture & videos. Battery still can hold more than 1day. Applause for OnePlus 6.

SOT will also depend on standby time of your using your phone constantly with low standby time then you tend to get more SOT

There have never been any battery life issues, it's an ancient belief that started with the OnePlus ONE.. Battery life is always measured by your last battery cycle. If you barely use your phone for one cycle, you will have a high SOT for the next battery cycle, if you keep playing games all day, the algorithm will estimate a lower SOT. The time when you decide to start charging your phone again will also have in an impact on SOT. It's all about ESTIMATION, not precise and factual stats.
It's definitely (a bit) better than 5.1.5. I can get 50h of standby with 6.5h SOT:

Clear Google Play Services Data
If you are not aware, Google Play Services is where most of the things happen on Android. However, a buggy Google Play Services update or behaviour might result in Android System battery drain. The straight fix to this can be wiping Google Play Services data from Android Settings.
To wipe data, go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Services > Storage > Manage Space > Clear Cache and Clear All Data.

OOS 10 - Idle battery drain VS OOS 9

Hi all,
Having been on OOS 10 now for a few weeks, I can report that I'm getting very strange overnight battery drain.
There are no weird wakelocks, no rogue apps, it's just strange drain. I used to get 2-5% drain overnight using same scenario and setup and now on OOS 10 I'm getting 15%+ overnight drain.
Is anyone else seeing this too? Is there anything we can do to rectify this? Do custom A10 ROM's also see this drain?
Just to confirm: this is a clean install too if the stable build.
same problem + many bugs with oos10.
This release is a beta, not stable.
Not only is the battery draining like crazy, but the phone is also getting significantly hotter under regular use than before. And I've also noticed scrolling feels a bit stuttery and is not as smooth as it was in OOS 9.
I hope OnePlus pays attention to these issues, otherwise I'll have to go the custom ROM way.
Disable Ram Boost in settings ?
I'm getting better than OOS 9 battery drain. I've not done anything unusual, with Bluetooth, wifi & location all on 24/7 and a smartwatch I used to get about 1.5% per hour drain.
Now I'm tracking under at about 0.8% to 1% per hour. No special plugins or addon's to help with this.
PS. RAM boost on as well.

Why would I, my battery drain is better than OOS9. I used to have 1.3%-1.5% on OOS9 and I'm now around 0.8% on 10.

Have you tried using naptime? It does give good results with a forced doze.

I never used that before and I was getting 2-3% total overnight drain so, OOS 10.
Same here. Huge idle battery drain and lots of lag. Hopefully they'll fix it with the next update.
Theo next update Has come. How do you guys find battery life after update? First version was destroying my battery!
