Massive Battery Drain even when powered off - Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers

For the past few weeks, I've been having massive problems with the battery life of the phone (XT1955-4 RETEU2).
At first the battery would last for 3-4 days (Stock firmware Android 9 February patch) but now it will only last for about 12h, draining about 8% per hour, no matter if I use the phone or just let it sit.
Accubattery reports a deep sleep of ~90% while the screen is off.
Even if I turn the phone completely off it will lose about 5% per hour.
When I turn the phone off in the evening with 40% left, it'll be completely depleted in the morning with the battery LED lighting up when I plug it in.
At first I was on stock, then I unlocked the bootloader, hard bricked it first, successfully followed the guide by sluggedlemon (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/how-to/guide-recovering-hard-brick-t3989753) and then I checked out some of the custom ROMs.
Later I returned to stock and flashed OCEAN_RETEU_PPOS29.114-134-13_cid50 from lolinet.
Since then the battery life is disastrous.
I flashed the stock firmware again using the LSMA but that would'nt solve the high battery drain issue.
Then I tried to revert to OCEAN_RETEU_PPOS29.114-134-10 (February patch) but that wouldn't help either. (bootloader and modem couldn't be reverted)
All custom ROMs I tried seem to have the same problem now.
As I read similar posts about battery life issues after the April patch, I hoped that the Android 10 patch would fix it.
But even as the Android 10 update arrived and the June update soon after, nothing has changed for the better.
Is anyone experiencing something similar? Especially the battery drain when the phone is powered off?
Or has anyone an idea what could cause this issue?
Any help, advise or idea would be highly appreciated.

If it drains when it is off sounds like ur battery needs to be replaced I have a phone that dose that

It looks like there's something wrong with your battery. Maybe you should replace it.
My battery only drains a lot when the device is on standby. To avoid this I use the Naptime app. It helps a lot, you should try it too

Android OS battery Drain on 6210

I don't know why this is happening... and I am doing quite a bit to try and alleviate it.
When I first got this tablet the battery was fantastic and it maybe used 2% over night when I slept. Now in one hour it can use 3% to 4%.
I have done the whole 9 yards of flashing back to stock, factory reset, all of that.
I sent this in recently to Samsung since I was having SOD issues and told them to fix this problem too but they fixed my SOD problem but not this one.
When in the battery use area in setting android is using any where between 12% and 40% of my battery with over 10 minutes of CPU time. When I first got this tablet android OS MIGHT have used 5% on a bad day.
I am saying this is the problem in terms of my battery but any input would be appreciated.
Edit:
Here is a screen cap of my battery usage (ignore that white line on the graph that was when I flashed LA3 back on to the Tab)

Moto Maxx never going below 15% battery

My Moto Maxx is never going below 15% battery for quite some time.
I was running CM 12.1 before and I am running the CM 13.0 preview now.
The problem now seems much worse.
This could be my battery dying?
Wait its not going below 15% or above 15%? Also, did you flash the ROM with a clean wipe (no dirty flash)?
Another thing to note is that the CM 13.0 Build is a "PREVIEW" which means that there are a TON of bugs in there. I would advise you go back to CM 12.1 for the time being.
It is never going below 15%.
On CM12.1 it also happened.
When it reaches 15% percent, the phone shuts down and needs to be charged.
After sometime charging, it displays the battery as above 15% and I can turn it on again.
Mine had always done that at 5 percent. Here lately it's closer to 7 percent.
I'm on original 5.0.2 and also facing that issue... I've heard onde it's related to the use of non original chargers, or even QI chargers... Never got rid of it, even after a full wipe/factory reset...
I've had this problem too and made a post over in the Droid Turbo forums but no one ever replied..
At least I'm not the only one that has this problem.
Yeah I've always had this issue between 5-8% on my three Turbos. Stock Rom and other flavors. They all shut the phone down around there.
Solved the problem with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newagetools.batdoc&hl=pt_BR
Now my battery goes down to 1% again, yahoo!!!!
how can that app fix it?? i would think its a placebo effect as i see dificult for an app to read or fix battery info...
maybe it locks out the bad parts (like an old chkdsk on a HD)
anyway i will tryit if i see it tries to go rogue with the Ads it Dies..
Batteries in laptops and phones have a file that keeps track of battery life. They use this to estimate percentage.
Sent from my DROID Turbo using XDA-Developers mobile app
still having this issue
I have the same problem. It started as shutting down at %5, then %7, now it's %15 shuts down.
The same thing on my XT1254. It shuts down near 5%, I will try to charge it with my old i9505 charger, it could be a problem related to TurboCharger.
Hello guys,
My girlfriend's phone had this issue some months ago, what I did in order to fix this issue was:
1) Let the battery drain until phone shutdown. (try to turn on again until you cannot)
2) Fully charge with an original Motorola charger (phone turned off)
3) When it reached 100%, turn on the phone but enter in the fastboot mode and wipe caches
4) Uses the phone normally and let reaches 0%.
Making these steps, the battery back to have a "normal" behaviour

I´ll perform these steps, thank you
Although you see the battery as percentage, the operating system does not see it that way. It uses lower limit voltage of the battery to shut down the device in order to extend battery life. Batteries do not like to get and stay deep discharged (below low level voltage)...if you do this frequently, you will severely hamper your battery's life.

Battery life goes to sh!t after security updates

OK so back in June I did the security update and instantly my battery life went to crap. wiped and reloaded twice, nothing helped. We're talking it is draining 8-10% per hour with no use, just idling.
About a week later for no reason, it went back to normal battery drain.
Yesterday I installed the most recent security update and the same thing happened. Lost 50% of battery in 6 hours while the phone sat on the nightstand with no use. No app updates, and no other changes have occurred. About to wipe and reload again.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Let the phone settle after flashing a new ROM or kernel by 3-4 full charge and discharge cycles.

I have two Pixel 2's and have experienced the same as you on one of them. As far as I can figure, the effected unit must of had a minor corruption or a left over artifact due to the method used to update. Like many on here, I delete the -w ( wipe funtion) out of the update script. I believe that this allows for an opportunity for this to happen. I did eventually do a full reset/ wipe, reloaded from scratch, and resolved the drain issue.
The full reset appears to be the best option and wish you luck on your resolution.

Pixel 1 - Randomly rebooting and wrong battery status

Hello All,
Wanted to check if anybody has experienced random reboots on your Pixel 1? Regardless of the battery level or if the phone is plugged in or even if the phone is in airplane mode the phone randomly dies (most likely weekly). One thing I've observed is that after the phone crashes the battery level is not reporting properly as an example see the image below, the phone restarted when the battery was about 70% then when the phone was back online the battery level was reporting around 30% which remained steady throughout the day:

The OS (Pie, last updated on Feb 2019) is not rooted or modified whatsoever, I dont even have a ton of apps so any hint would be appreciated. If you happen to know how to review the OS logs without rooting the phone it would be appreciated.
P.S. I suspect the DNS ad blocker app could be causing this but I am not 100% certain.
Regards,
Alex.
Not had that on my pixel but had it on my Nexus 6p and a battery fault was the cause. It would reboot itself every now and then when it hit 60% and it would read between 25 and 30% once it came back on.
I had this problem. Cell reboots and a battery level that does not reach the 100%. At most 97%
After flashing by fastboot the Feb 2019 whole factory image (bootloader, radio and image) I fixed the reboot issue (till now) but not the battery level.
Last night I put in charge the phone turned off. At noon I turned it on and the level was 97% as usual.
So I've tried with the charger of my wife Galaxy 7 and and an other cable (usb.a - usb.c) because it hasn't a usb.c port and it reached the 100%.
It is an half hour that I disconnected it and it has still the 100% (I didn't use it) .
So, I think that's not a battery failure or a firmware problem (may be it was about rebootings) but a charger or a cable issue.
I will try with an other charger with PD and I will let you know....
Okay. Tried with another charger and another cable.
No results. Phone didn't reach 100% battery status.
Yesterday evening I have installed the new Android Q beta 1.
This morning I found it charged at 100%.
The problem was not the phone but Android Pie.

P30 Battery Drain since EMUI 10

I updated my phone last night to EMUI 10 and since taking it off charge this morning, I am getting a significant battery drain.
Prior to this update my phone was getting minimal battery drain and I would be able to use it from 7am - 11pm with around 15-20% battery remaining.
At the moment it is down to 88% since off charge at 8am and I have hardly done anything on the phone as of yet.
My apps are all on sleep apart from a few that I have always had on all the time for notification purposes.
Any suggestions please?
I have the same. Scandal. Gotta somehow go back to 9
have no problem with battery drain on my device. Did you made a factory reset ? Its always bette rto do FR after updating to new OS version.
