Hey guys.
I'm sure you've all seen this question before. Any advice on my battery life? It wasn't this bad a month ago.
53m sot and 5% recorded app usage yet I'm at 46% seems pretty awful.
Thank you!
Looks like there's something running in the background and this isn't showing in your battery stats...have you rebooted? If so, reboot into recovery and wipe cache..last resort would be do a system format
Well how embarrassing. A reboot seemed to make all the difference. Thanks.

Hi,
I was questionning my battery life alot lately and I've checked some thread. Yet, everybody seems to have a more "spread out" battery usage. On my phone, battery usage is always like 45% Phone idle and 45% Cell standby.
By battery life seems really random too, I let my phone on standby for a whole night and it went down from 100% to 96%. In the morning, I checked the weather and mails (that's it), then I left it on the table for the whole day and it went down about 50% !
I don't know if something is running in the background or something. Disabling background data helped a bit.
I am running MIUI, but I had the same "issue" with stock ROM and Weapon 2.6. Do I need to change my kernel (it is stock).
Thanks in advance.

I had similar experience until I upgraded from WIND's baseband to the newer T-Mobile one in the T-Mobile update. Now battery life is more reasonable.
Hi folks,
since some days my battery drives me crazy...
Last week i flashed CM10 by nk111. Nice ROM, but my battery lasted only for some hours with normal usage. So I went back to MIUI...problem stayed.
Yesterday I flashed Jellytime and replaced the battery. The problem stayed as well. At 6 pm battery was full, I restored my apps with Titanium, used it a bit and when I was going to bed at 10 p.m. battery was 81%. Getting up at 5:30 this morning --> battery was 41%.
After the battery was full yesterday night I used display for maybe 10 minutes, why there are 36% battery usage by th display?
WTF happened to my system by flashing CM10 by nk111???
Any help is appreciated!
PS:
Baseband-Version: 20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.310
Kernel-Version: 3.0.50-g6ea80e4
First, do you have Google now on. It really drains the battery. If that doesn't help install better battery stats and let it go through a couple of cycles, it will help you pinpoint if any apps or wakelocks are draining your battery.

I don't use Google Now. I use the same apps withe the same intensity than in better battery times...
Could you please give me a recommendation for a battery stats tool?
Thanks!

Use the search, you'll find it in both xda and playstore it's called better battery stats

U have an app or something that is running when screen is off.
Find the app and del it.

app called carat could also help you find the battery sucking thing. It's a bit more simple than battery stats, you'll like it if you're not an expert.
it doesn't need to be a new app that is sucking power, it could be the poorly made update of some app that you're using for a long time.
I installed both apps.
But in both I can't find any kind of statistics about consumed power by apps or something similar, am I that stupid?

Bbs needs to run for at least a full battery cycle to give you a clear picture, if recommend running it for at least a day

I get max 24 hours battery life , sometimes 12 hours , so it's not something to worry. If you speak 2-3 hours and WiFi on another 2-3 hours that is the battery în my case 12 hours max.

IT IS something to worry, cause battery behaviour changed dramatically while I didn't change my usage of the phone.
40% battery loss over night should be a clear indication of abnormal behaviour.
@jugg1es: thanks for the advice!

you must run carot a day or two, than it will display some apps on the first page and the approximate battery life you get if you kill them. read the manual also..
Yesterday in the evening I realized a 96% entry in the Partial Wavelocks section - AndroidMediaScanner. I freezed it (I know where my pictures and music is located...), did a full load on the battery and for 4 hours the battery remained at 100%. I really thought the problem is solved...but in the morning...31%
But - the 'Media' entry in the android accu stats is gone, I think this is a partial success.
In the BBS app, there is no remarkable value - the biggest is 3,8%.
When I watch the graphs - WiFi and Awake is nearly completetly blue over the whole night (unfortunately, I can't take screenshots right now for any reason).
I'm a bit helpless right now, will charge the phone now and keep an eye on BBS the next hours/days.
androidmediascanner shouldn't be the bad guy, it's a system app that we all have. maybe your battery is the problem...

I inserted a new battery last week without any change. Don't think both batteries are broken.
The common way to solve this is to do a fresh install. Leave it for a day without any apps yo see if it is ROM related. See if the battery life improve. Install one app per day and monitor your phone awake period with screen on, it should be almost same.

Yesterday night I made a full wipe, installed Jellytime and Gapps and went to sleep...
In the morning --> 67%.
Very odd, normally this would probably indicating a defect battery, but it is new!
Maybe a hardware defect?
Maybe RRU Problem?
Hi,
I have a similar problem here. I was using the desire s for a long timne with stock rom (2.x android), a full battery was enough for ~2 days. Then I rooted the device and installed CM10 (NK111 alpha build).
2 things changed:
The battery is empty after 24h or less.
The wireless network is worse than before. This is my subjective impression but there are places at home or in the office where wifi worked before and stopped working.
I'm starting excessive tests (disabling everything, removing apps, running carat) during xmas holidays to find the reason.
My guess what it might be: to root the device I did a downgrade, including a radio downgrade. Now I run baseband 20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11 which is known as "Saga Test RUU" and has the lowest version number of the RRUs listed in the forum. I did not found anything about this in the forum or with google but maybe this is the reason.
My average battery stats with normal use (whole day, used the phone a few minutes):
~30% Display
~25% Wifi
~17% Mobile Standby
~5% Android Os
For comparison, my Motorola Defy has in a similar scenario ~5% Wifi and ~3% Mobile Standby

I was at home all day yesterday, I barely used my phone. I unplugged it in the morning around 6:00am, and battery was reported at 100% until about 10:00am. That can't be accurate because I made a couple calls and browsed around a bit.
From 10:00am, it discharged slowly to about 60%, when I went to bed at 9:00pm.
When I woke up at 6:00am this morning, the phone was totally drained and off. This doesn't make sense. Standby drain should be 2 or 3% an hour. not 60% over 9 hours.
Something is up...I'd greatly appreciate if anyone can help me solve this.
The battery on this phone doesn't seem to be calibrated all that well, so it is dropping faster than it appears to be when you unplug with a full charge. It doesn't really stay at 100% for 4 hours, so eventually it will start dropping faster once the phone realizes you are missing more battery than it thought.
With that said, you definitely seem to have had some process that bugged out and was running all night until the battery died. If that keeps happening I'd do a factory reset

thanks. I appreciate the answer. Any idea how to find that bugged process? All of the battery stat apps require root to identify this, which doesn't exist at the moment.

I don't know how to yet on unrooted 8.0. I don't know if the keyboard is considered a system app, but I lost 20% of my battery yesterday to Gboard so I wonder if that's also your problem. Mine did show up somewhere in the battery stats though so if you didn't see it there that's probably not your issue
Try Better Battery Stats (there's a good xda thread) and gsam (from the play store). If unrooted, you have to set some things with adb to get all functions.

There is root now that is definitely some rouge apps and or un calibrated battery hope u get it sorted out
I don't have this phone (yet), but isn't there a way to boot into the stock recovery/bootloader and wipe the battery stats there? or maybe an app that can do it that does NOT require root?
As I've gotten my new oneplus 6, battery life was amazing. I got around 7-8 hours of sot (and average use) with one cycle.
Now I'm on 5.1.8 and with the same usage I get only around 3-4 hours sot. Only thing that I've changed over the weeks; I installed xposed. I don't know if this is the issue, cause I only ran like 3 modules with it (Greenify, Snaptools and NSFW Gboard)
Something else to say, my op6 is heating up more then it should be recently. Like I'm only using whatsapp and instagram, and suddenly it becomes uncomfortable warm.
In settings I also made all battery improvements, given in a thread here.
Can someone imagine what could be the problem? Or does someone have such an issue also? I uploaded some screens in attachments, maybe this is helpful.
Thank's!
Sometimes it can take a few days for a new update to settle down. If it keeps up, you might reflash. Also, check for rogue apps and wakelocks, which can flare back into life sometimes when you update. I have not noticed any real difference in battery life.
It hasnt made a difference imo for my device anyway. From changelog nothing should affect battery tbh. Maybe wakelocks or something plus running xposed with modules is never good from experience
Well I'm on 4G most of the day, I think this makes a difference because I only get such good results like 7 hrs sot when I'm on wifi. With Airplane Mode enabled I lose about 4% over night, I think this is normal or?
Noticed this as well with the update...
Even clean flashed

I have the same battery life as all the other part builds. Actually better since I just added ex kennel.
I stay on data, never WiFi since I'm on T-Mobile with unlimited and never get throttled. I loose about 2% overnight (about 7 hours) though I do keep my syncing under control. 1 email account is set for 3 hours, work is push, all under Google account is turned off since I only need calendar and contacts syncing when I make a new entry so I just manually turn sync on then back off. And I turn all background data off for everything other then what I need like messaging apps and email, Google app and that about it. Nothing to crazy but why let things sync constantly when there's nothing to sync?
For me, definitely thought 5.1.6 was the best for battery life.
Have you tried going into recovery and wiping cache? Worked for me.

My best experience was on 5.1.7.
6+ SOT on all 3 builds so far.
Hello Guys,
my 1+7pro seems to have a really bad sot.
I get barely 5 hours with [email protected] and 90% only WiFi.
It's rooted with Smurf kernel+XXX not limits ROM for Magisk.
All of them are updated to the newest versions - no app seems to walk in the background draining battery.
AccuBattery measures the battery health is about 3400mah left after just 5 months now.
I never charged it over 100% , never used Quick Charge and never let it discharge beyond 20%.
Any suggestions ? Maybe a defective battery?
In the other forum sections they get 6-7+ sot that's why I'm so curious...
Best regards
Have you been flashing the phone recently...when was the last time you left the phone as is...everytime you flash/ clean cache etc..the phone will need a few days to settle down...If all's settle down and you are still getting bad battery...get it to a service centre and see if they can fix it..
