[Help Required] Android System ( System_server) drain battery issue (5.1.1)

I know I am not the first one to post about this issue. I have searched, not only on xda, but some other websites. I just cannot find a solution. I am running 5.1.1 non rooted Stock ROM. I have tried everything. Enabled and Disabled a lot of settings. Nothing seems to work. 20% for that Android System is just too much. It started a week ago. Today I have Installed "Quick System Info PRO" and it shows that some "System_Server" is eating battery due to a high usage of RAM and Proccesor. See attachments please.
I am thinkg about updating my OPO, but I am not sure if this will help.
Did you find a solution? Do you know how to fix this? Please share your knowledge with me.
I used to plug and charge my OPO once every day and a half. But now I have to live with my charger inside my pockets because I am charging my phone every 10 hours.

There are any other apps? Also, try with android 6.0, might fix something.

Hi @srsdani.
Thank you for your reply. No. There are not any other apps eating battery. Mostly because I am at work, I use Whatsapp.
I should also mention that the phone gets super hot for no reason, like when you are playing a game after a long time. (Due to the intesive CPU usage).

I'm thinking is OS-related. But by doing some search you will find a lot of people with same issue. Even non-OPO users. I'm gonna give it a try anyway.! Thank you for your reply.

try better battery stats and correct firmware and recovery , if possible do everything in fastboot inc flashing

So, yeah, I got the most expected update, installed and worked great... Until some issues showed up, like lockscreen freeze, and now the "you can't see you WiFi power consumption" issue. I'm mad, I know WiFi was taking a huge piece of my battery ( tried some suggestions) but now a bug report appeared, and this is what I face today
Before it was like this
What should I do now? A clean install ?

Don t fast reboot
Shutdown your device and power on
Reboot enable system drain
Disable from security settings google administrator
Cyanogen device manager does the same
Also cyanogen statistic are not used any more to lollipop
Do not use greenify apps from version to version update has opposite results
If you want better battery use apps that will disable sensors and locationwhen device sleep

U ULTRA Oreo 8.0 update, is it half baked?

I have updated to Android 8.0.0 a few days ago and so far I have only came across problems and issues with stability and performace.
So the positives about the update:
- The phone definitly is more secure, google did an amazing job on that one, for sure its the safest version on android by far,
- Performance is slighty better
- The skin excluding the icons are very nice, but it just ends here,
And here are the negatives I have come accross:
- The settings menu is kind of broken. On a few ocassions so far there have been no icons next to the text and would disappear unless i closed settings and opened it again,
- When u select for example Security, There are no icons on the left of the text. It just seems lazy from htc that they didnt really finalize the rom, everything seems rushed,
- Files are encrypted by default and impossible to access unless you do a full wipe and somehow remove the decryption(I assume you need to use aroma, but i have no idea how that works),
- Multiple icons are used a lot and there are barely any animations (Example - On youtube when u minimize a video and then reopen it, there is no animation it just teleports the screen to full or minimized. When u pull down the menu from the top, again no animation, it just goes down instantly. When u try to close the applications when u swipe left or right it just does it quickly),
- The secondary display lags a lot i have no idea why,
- When i use bluetooth headphones the audio stutters a lot making watching videos or listening to music really uncomfortable( on htc earphones the audio is fine),
- The rom in general just feels really rushed and unpolished
If anyone is experiencing similar issues please let me know, also if there is a fix for the specified please post it down.
In general its cool that we got the update, but we got a half baked one, with controversial features I would say..

Did you do a factory reset after the update ?

Yes numerous times

Okay so with a simple reset and a visit to the recovery to attempt to delete cache and dalvik cache, bluetooth works fine with my headphones and the secondary display doesnt stutter anymore, yay.
I think the rom is a little bit unstable..

Okay so for some reason my rom is very unstable.
From time to time it stutters a lot while on some ocassions it works smooth, ill probably have to factory reset it

The official Oreo rom lags. The former rom was smoother. I have horrible battery life. The SOT is less than 2 hours and it was around 4 hours. I did a factory reset. This update is a big disappointment.

Give it a few days guys

Guys keep in mind that every time when you update to new android it takes several days till everything settles. With the new version everything (including apps) is scanning, indexing and setting up in background in the first few days.

I have stoсk 7.0, tell me how to roll back to 7.0.
Trouble in Oreo is Temperature over 50-60 degrees
Also noticed the fact that in 7.0 the memory was loaded by 54% in 8.0 the memory is loaded by 70%
Please tell me why the processor operates at maximum frequencies in normal mode?

Did you enable the battery saver option in the quick setting drop down menu?
This option disables the animation.

Better if you go to developer menu and turn off animations

I'm fairly sure that you can do that by the option which is intent on doing so.
The point I was trying to make is, battery saver does not behave like this in the prior versions, and I was assuming that OP thought his ROM was broken somehow because of enabling it.

Just to add my experience with the update first time it soft bricked my phone and had to flash ruu via sd card to get it working again. It now runs but keep finding secondary screen crashes when using sat nav and error message covers the screen! I also get a crash in mail whenever i try to reply to anyone!

Screen goes black, buttons don't respond, can get calls from other phones to me

Hi all, I have been facing a really weird problem for the past few weeks. Sometimes all of a sudden, my phone screen completely turns black, and the buttons (as well as the alert slider) stop responding. There is no indication whatsoever that it is NOT switched off. However when I try calling it from another phone, ring can be heard as if my phone is working fine. I don't understand where the problem lies. Any suggestions are welcome.
I am rooted with Magisk 19.3, Riru-EdXposed 0.4.5.1 Sandhook, Riru-Core v19.5.
Edit: Android Pie. OOS 9.5.10.GM21AA

I had this problem recently when accessing certain apks. Reflashing the firmware sorted it for me.

no root same problem to me after I update from Android 9 to Android 10

Thanks I will try doing that.

Same problem here when opening quite a few apps. Issue didn't start until I updated to Android 10 (and rooted), on a converted T-Mobile variant. Wonder if that is the source of our problem. I'm sorely tempted to use the MSM tool and go back on TMO's Android 9 (and pray for a official update to 10). Unless someone can find a solution to this, rebooting the phone every time I want to open certain apps is a real pain.

It definitely is a A10 issue as I too have started to have this issue when opening games and ram extensive apps. A workaround is to open the game or app in split screen mode and once the app has started you can switch back to fullscreen mode or start the app from recents. That has worked for me 100% of the time. The 10.0.1 update seemed to make it worse because you have to reboot the phone to escape the black screen were as at first you could use gestures to escape the app.

Good idea using split screen, I'll have to start doing that for the time being. I moved over to Open Beta 3 and the issue is still there and worst as with 10.0.1. Hopefully OnePlus can nail this bug soon. It's turning a otherwise amazing phone into a headache.

I have the same problem. Running 10.0 rooted. For me, this has only happened when opening Youtube Vanced. One clever solution is to enable "Quickly turn on camera" and doublepress power if this happens. This launches camera and returns the screen to normal.

Experiencing this too, it does seem to be related to certain .apks, how bizarre is that? Really don't want to re-flash as I am encrypted... Can you dirty-flash with an encrypted system and not loose any data?

I reflashed through TWRP and all data was fine. I'm encrypted too.
But it goes without saying, make sure you do a backup before flashing anything

Galaxy s10e. Lags after update to android 10

Hello to all. unfortunately after the update to android 10 some lag appeared that remind me a lot of the s8 .... it's a nightmare that haunts me. I did not reset and I would like to avoid it, could someone tell me if it has been affected by this problem and if it is possible to remedy it without resetting? thank you

I would suggest first wiping the cache from stock recovery mode. See how it runs and if it picks up. You do also have to ensure apps are updated as needed.

Mine lagged too after the oneui 2 update. I've done a reset and at first it was smooth before I restored apps and settings. But after restoring it started to lag especially on home and recents screen. I found a solution to turn off adaptive power saving. Now it's super smooth
Edit: I found out that the lag comes from accessibility services. Mine was AutoSkip. After I turned it off home and recents becomes smooth again.

So, did u advice to avoid the update? I bought mine today and I was wondering if it was worth it...

If you just bought the device, I recommend to not install all your apps yet, but first update all way up to Android 10 (keep updating until there’s no new updates available), and then make a factory reset. After this you can install your things normally.
I've made this process and now my S10e runs like a butter!
EDIT: As mentioned by @kdanina, turn OFF adaptative power saving, but let adaptative battery ON. They seem to be similar but in practice the first one is flawed on our device.

Question Has anyone installed android 14 beta on google pixel 7 pro

what problems do you have, if any, and is it worth installing?

Its not worth it! It's a buggy mess right now I would wait for beta 2. Just look on reddit and you'll see all the problems it has.

Only bug I've seen is the modem. I'm on wifi most of the time anyway, but the signal strength
isn't as good.
Oh, I did have another bug. The app bluemail was crashing when it opened it. Emailed the
failure report to google & the app developer. Less than 24 hours later the app developer
sent me a link with an updated beta app that fixed it.

It is the biggest bug party I have ever seen.
Couple bugs that happen to me currently:
- Online banking app no longer works.
- Home screen is just glitching and all apps disappear.
- a lot of Status Bar Symbols missing/ or glichting
- Screen can't be opened with fingerprint sensor, for whatever reason.
- And yes, many apps are not updated for Android 14 yet.

Wallpaper and style not working/crashing here and sometimes a bit lag. The rest of the problems mentioned here not on my 7 Pro. Fingerprint, modem, all 102 apps (some are new betas), including banking app are working without any problem. Provider: T-Mobile
Before you enrol:​The updates that you’ll receive as a part of the beta programme are pre-release versions and may contain errors and defects that can affect the normal functioning of your device.

So be careful and make a wise decision

In addition, dark mode will not stay on; you'll have to toggle it once an hour or so. I would say it's an Alpha.

Probably I must be the lucky one that everything is going well! Battery for me seems longer and it doesn't warm anymore when watching videos or dimming my screen as during A13 Qpr... the only issue so far for me is the usb-c audio not working.

Maybe i'm lucky too, but i'm having no issues other than when i sometimes go to compose a new sms, the app (google messages) freezes and causes system wide freeze until i lock the screen with power button and then it's back. Hardly ever send sms these days anyway. no biggy

Installed the 14 beta. Not faced any problems so far, apart from "com.android.qns" crashing every time I boot the device. But it does not affect the cellular connection.
Battery OK, no other app crashes.
