Hello, I've recently bought a pixel 6a and got a huge battery drain. I've tried to factory reset, install custom ROM, disable everything I could but nothing worked. I'm checking current the is being used every second and notice that it's been between 300ma and 'a lot' but never under 300ma and the phone heats a lot ! (Battery looses 7% per h screen off and between 25% et 30% screen on from what I remember).
At last, I've tried to put the SIM card from another phone into the pixel 6a and notice a decrease of current to something similar to what I've got on my previous phone.
I'm going to ask for a new SIM card and check if something change.
If you experiencing battery drain without success on resolving it ? Could you try to switch to another SIM card and see if there any changes ?
Thanks
Hmmm...
or maybe this...
Pixel users see severe battery drain, overheating (Update: Google response)
Several Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series users are reporting battery drain problems as well as overheating issues on their phones.

Interesting, indeed.
Don't know the link between sim card change and Google app issue but hope it will resolve the issue.
I'll try the update as soon as it is available.
Thx for the link.
Seems that despite the fix deployed by Google, I still notice battery drain ...
I retried a sim card switch with someone else and the consumption decreased (see yellow bar above)

Very much a possibility.
Is the other SIM from the same mobile service provider?

The first one wasn't but the second one is the same.

It does point to a problem with that sim card. Try getting a replacement SIM to see if the problem is resolved.

I recently got one of this phones off ebay deal. So far the phone has been really good (after going to 5.1.1) other than the battery life which is super terrible. I leave for office at 8AM and by the time I am back around 6:30 in evening its already down to 8-9% with barely 1 hour of SOT. While using the phone I can clearly see battery going down by 1 percent every two minutes.
One of the other things I noticed is it takes a while to charge battery. Almost takes 4 hours to charge it.
Have done everything listed in various thread on XDA to fix battery drain but nothing is helping. To summarize I have
- Rooted my phone
- Disable AT&T enhanced 4G LTE
- Tweak setting with kernel auditor
- Disable ATT bloatware
- Install greenify and amplify
- Installed CF.Lumen to control brightness
Not sure what I am missing here now. Any help is appreciated from you guys.
Does the phone feel warm on the back when it's just sitting?
If so, you probably have a runaway app. You can check the battery section in options and see what's eating battery.
I had this a while ago on nexus 5 with the ebay app, the same also happened to a friend of mine with the same app.
hello, there.
i had the same problem, it seems that your phone is not going to deep sleep mode.
i fixed my problem with Nitro X, you can find it here on xda.
now i am very happy with my battery, for example now it says on battery for 2 days 15h 29min 22s and still 60% battery remaining.
hope this helps.
an old example :

It only gets warm when playing some games. I will look at some of the apps as you suggested. Thanks,

Thanks. I am gonna give it a shot. I see they have 2 versions - X86 and Non-X86. which one should I flash? Also since flex 2 doesn't support any recovery (twrp etc) should I just flash it with Flashfire app?
hello kunalmalviya,
i downloaded the non x86 (=the arm version).
i do not know about flashfire, you should ask on the forum.
Please click the thanks! button if that helped.
PEACE.
Try reflashing latest software via LG Flash Tool.
I have no issue with battery life. It is slightly better than on LG G2 which is awesome. (3-4 hours SOT without any problems, no tweaks, no root, brigthness on 100%, Wi-Fi, NFC and LTE enabled all the time, Google Now enabled, Google Location Services enabled and lot of apps running in background).
I have a terrible battery drain when my phone is idle. Tried everything, but nothing solved it. Ever since Lollipop I have this issue.
Clean flashed MM and still nop. Flashed ElementalX 6.04 yesterday which still couldn't solve it. This is frustrating :crying::crying:
I have disabled everything too. No Wifi, data, bluetooth, location...etc (My phone is not a smart phone anymore)
Only adaptive brightness is enabled.
Yesterday I fully charged and went to sleep to find out it has drained 28% after a 7 hours sleep. Removed all the unpopular apps (suspicious apps) as well. BetterBatteryStatus says my phone has been in DEEP SLEEP throughout the whole time too.
Please give me a solution

How old is your phone?? You might need to replace the battery. Especially you've already done everything from kernel, to clean flash to disabling apps and settings
your bstats also tells no abnormality? how about its partial wakelocks? can you post those so we can check it out?

According to BBS my phone has been in deep sleep throughout the whole time. I'm assuming its the battery, I need to replace it may be.
I charged my phone again. I will post partial wakelocks too in few hours time.
Thanks alot
Even though it may not make a huge difference but you can try draining the battery out to 0 (until the phone can't stay on even after a force power on) and a full charge (30 mins to an hour overcharging after you see full battery indicator).. Gluck.
I replaced my battery, I was getting hard reboots as well. But wow with a new battery and marshmallow my nexus is like a new device.
99% no or unknown signal.
That could be the cause of your drain, when the phone has no signal or poor signal it will use a lot of battery to keep the connection alive. Set aeroplane mode on

Glad it was fixed
I was wondering if anyone can help me find out why my battery is draining so fast? I have tried doing a factory reset to help(screenshot taken after factory reset), I have also tried uninstalling any apps that could be causing it and only have the necessities installed, eg Facebook, Messanger. The phone is less than a month old, I was getting excellent battery life then for the last week its been awful. Screen on time was only an hour when the screenshot was taken. The device I'm using is the Moto G4 Plus.

Facebook and Facebook messenger are two of the biggest battery eaters there are.

I think there is battery or software problem behind the battery drain of your android. Many moto g4 plus users complaining about the battery drainage problem.

Everybody has battery drain issues, it started in 4.4.4 and got worse with 5.0+. At the heart of it all it's a Google thing but Google doesn't care. They've made the android system more active and more intuitive to the user and the users activities. Nosey bastards and they think they know what is best for you and your devices.

I bought POCO X3 NFC 128GB (M2007J20CG). I updated immediately to the latest (12.0.8 QJGEUXM) and then I did "Wipe Data" from the recovery menu to start a fresh set-up.
For the moment, only basic communication and music apps. My previous phone is Mi Max 3 which works perfectly and even 3 years after, it gives me a full day with much usage and many apps installed. I haven't transferred all my data to POCO.
Now on POCO, from the first day I noticed a huge battery drain. I start my day at 09:00 with 100% and it gets to 30% at 17:00.
Battery saving enabled all the time, 60Hz screen, and WiFi-BT-Data-Location only when needed.

I did a second "Wipe Data", I got an update to Android 11 and 12.0.8 RJGEUXM. Wipe data again, new setup. Nothing changed. I waited some days for a "calibration" but nothing.

I don't know if this is normal. I believe it's a faulty device and I am communicating with the chinese store from where I bought it to return it.
1) But before that, is there anything I can do to fix this? If you own a POCO X3 NFC, do you get better battery life?
2) Why "Android System" consumes so much battery and is there a way to trace what's behind this?
3) Also, I'm sure I don't use the screen that much.
Thanks in advance for reading.
Don't have a straight answer for you but, generally and unless you debloat it, MIUI is very ineffective with power and system resources -- in my experience, even trimmed down versions like Xiaomi.eu suffer from this, although they fare a lot better than stock, especially with an alternative kernel like Stormbreaker...
I have a feeling you have a faulty battery.
Considering you've taken every single step including the ROM changes and the factory resets. I have ONE recommendation you can try if you already haven't.
Set up the phone as new. Don't add your Google account or Xiaomi account. Manually copy your data and manually install apps you need. Add your accounts later. I've seen this issue countless times where Cloud Restore absolutely breaks the system with broken settings and apps.
If this doesn't work then you definitely have a defective battery/phone. The NFC version usually is supposed to get 8-10 hours Screen On Time but I've seen as low as 5 on some people's posts.
My Indian unit gets about 11-13 hours SoT depending on what I'm doing... But it's never less than 10.
Please check your device.
All the best.

That is possible, too...
I am now communicating with the store to return it back, but it doesn't seem to be an easy process.
Today, I made a wipe data, didn't install anything, not even my Google account. I only used the phone for calls and SMSs for 1 hour in total. I started at 08:30 with ~90% and now it's 20:30 (just 12 hours later) and I have 66 %. Also I think I lost a huge amount during the night.

I asked myself, if debloating the P7P is worth to increase Smoothness and Battery Consumption and get rid off the Bloatware.
Any Advices?
I haven't disabled or uninstalled any of the apps that came with the phone and the phone is really smooth and I am getting really good battery. My overnight idle drain last night (9 hrs) was .45%/hr and it sits now at .53%/hr.

I wish my standby was that low. I'm at 1.1%/hr right now. Not in a super strong signal area though.
It's a Google phone. Not much to debloat, is there?

Nope. That's one reason people get Pixels
I uninstalled a couple of apps I will not use, and was only able to disable one or two more. But if you really need to you can use ADB, or a GUI app utilizing ADB to do the same. Remember that in most circumstances when you "delete" an app it is really not deleted but just made unavailable to user number 0 (zero) which is the main user = you!

Debloating a pixel for smoothness and better battery life? Ugh... This isn't the early 2000's dude. Placebo is awesome though.

I always turn that off but let me double check.

Is this thread a prank? This is a Google phone, not a Samsung.
