I just installed CM 11 on my xperia V but then I'm experiencing this terrible super fast battery drain. It's been 3 days. The first night I installed it it drained my whole battery while I was asleep. Usually standby time is great before I installed CM 11. Maybe its because of the sony stamina extended standby mode thingy. Last night, I reckon that it's probably because of the background process and the wifi, so I reboot the phone (so that all apps are killed) and didn't turn on the wifi. It eats 7% of my battery. Dafuq???
So, I checked the battery stats and 82% of my battery is used on android system. Then, I turned off location access. Brightness is at its lowest. It was on aeroplane mode. Bluetooth is off. I underclock the device to clock only at 1 ghz and i clear all recent apps. Only the wifi is turned on. I only left it for half an hour without even touching it but my battery went down from 100% to 93%.!!! Can you imagine?? This sucks. Can anyone please help me with this issue? Imagine after an hour my battery would be at 80%. That means i can only use the phone for 5 hours!! That is without any connectivity at all with slow processor and low brightness. If I were to push it to the max it would take maybe 2 hours of usage. I uploaded the battery stats included with this thread.
Yesterday I updated to the latest nightly and today I notice in the early afternoon that my battery is unusually low. I don't think anything of it (figured I didnt plug the charger cable all the way in) until this evening when I got a low battery warning which has NEVER happened on my moto g.
I check betterbatterystats and nothing seems too unusual. I try clearing the cache and restart he phone, greenify a new game I'd installed and charge it. Later that evening the battery continues to drain.
I check the cm12.1 xda thread and don't see any such issue mentioned. I download a build from over a week ago and flash it along with gapps. I let the phone sit an hour. It's down 10% in just an hour.
Betterbatterystats says it spent the hour in deep sleep, no wakelocks or anything.
What can I do? Is my battery shot?
Edit: the battery usage chart in settings shows a flat line, BTW...
Well, I don't know what happened but my battery seems to be back to normal. Today so far my phone has been awake for 6 hours (I listen to audiobooks) and I'm down to only 79%.
to me it happend exacteley the same! I installed the the cm-12.1-20150722-NIGHTLY and the battery was empty after a few hours with mainly sleep mode... is it fixed on the newest nightly?
Let me start by saying that DOZE had been working great for me since the upgrade. My usage patterns haven't changed, yet DOZE seems to have stopped working..
Usage pattern:
- Phone is only used during work hours (Mon - Friday 730am - 400pm) and is at 100% charged by 400pm.
- ALL other times phone is sitting tucked away in drawer and not being used.
Up until this past weekend DOZE has been working great. I'd grab my phone at 730am and it would have 93+ % battery remaining to start my day.
This past Sunday I grabbed my phone (after sitting in the drawer since Friday at 400pm) only to be surprised to see the battery low message and battery being at 13%. I put it on the charger and let it fully charge. I then rebooted the phone to rule out anything that may have messed things up. After using google maps for a bit I retired the phone around 400pm with about 85% batttery. Monday morning, 730 rolls around and I'm down to 53% battery @#$ I rebooted the phone again to try to rule out anything that could mess it up. Phone was at 100% again by 400pm and found it's way to the drawer until 730am the next morning only to be at 56% @#$$#@. I also computed the total amount of mAh used by all listed apps under battery and it only amounted to 363mAh. That's approx. 10% of the battery capacity, not 44% @#$
I'm not sure what the heck could have changed @#$#
- Under Battery Optimation the only app NOT optimized is : Google Play Services
- Under Battery - Phone Idle shows 17 hours idle
Again, my usage patterns and settings have not changed prior to this starting to happen so I'm a bit at a loss here.
Since DOZE is completely autonomous and quite new I was wondering if there might be anyway to troubleshoot this ?
Here is a pic of my Battery Usage screen :
Same with me. Worked fine for a couple of weeks(where battery drain was about 3-4% in the night) but now battery drains by 25-30% every night.
Another day, same behaviour.
This time just prior to unplugging at 400pm and retiring to drawer for the night I swiped away all recent apps and rebooted the phone
The picture below shows all but twos apps/services.
They are Cell Standby @ 2% and Google Services @ 1%.
And that's it @#$
I think the culprit to my issue lies in WIFI ....

Disabling WIFI seems to let my phone enter Doze mode w/o issue.
Hello Experts,
My Battery is draining like crazy. I tried almost everything to figure out what is the issue but could not figure out. Below are the details I gathered from the things I tried.
My battery started draining almost 30 % overnight. Initially I thought it was due to the Unofficial Marshmallow Rom, I could see Wi-Fi to be cause of this drain. Hence I tried different Roms (Cyanogen Mod, PA, DarkObas, Sultan ROM, and stock Cyanogen OS ( Past 3 versions, including latest one). but the battery drain didn't stop.
So I decided to flash PA rom again, installed OpenGapps PICO (Only Google play service nothing else). I installed CPU spy and left it over night in Airplane mode. When I checked in the morning (after 7 hours) battery drain was of 25 %. This was surprising as nothing was running on my phone and only the minimum apps were installed. At this time, CPU spy showed no abnormal wake locks and was in Deep Sleep for almost 93% of the total time. The stock battery usage showed only Mobile Stand by and usage of 50 mAh.
Can you please help me figure out what is causing the battery drain.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am not too pleased about idle battery drain.
Overnight, about 8h it consumes about 3%-5%. Sometimes more than 10%, if the device doesn't go in deep sleep for whatever reason..
If commute, it takes more battery (maybe sensors, switch to mobile data, etc).
About 20% in 9hours. wifi most of the time with about 1h hour on mobile data. And movement in pocket about 20-30mins.
My experience with idle drain has been good overall. Getting around 0.5% per hr
My idle drain is horrendous. I'm getting around 20% drain over night (7h sleep) with nothing enabled but WiFi. And that's with Greenify. I'm thinking of rooting and flashing the EX Kernel, but wanted to wait for an obviously outstanding major update before doing so.

Android System, Phone Services + Google Services, but only if WiFi/data is on. If they are off the battery life is perfect.

Battery was good until yesterday, 8hrs SOT circa. Suddenly battery starts draining and can I barely reach 2,30 SOT. Any idea? No apps showed in battery page, the only app I downloaded yesterday was Textra SMS (Beta), but it's very strange that it can drains so much.

For me Chrome was a big culprit for battery drain. Try to delete the cache and the storage of the app. You can as well disable and it and re enable it. That should be enough. Anyway, Chrome is a battery hog. I am thinking about switching to Opera or Firefox. Any recommendation for browsers?
I use Firefox with the add-on 'Dark Background and Light Text'. I have it set to turn the background of all pages to true black.
2% over night (7 hours) pretty pleased. But it was even better on OP3 when the drain over night was 0-1%
I'm on RR with no GAPPS and lost about 1.5% in about 8.5hrs of not being used (sleep + getting ready in the AM)
I have TASKER, and have set airplane mode to come on 8pm - 3am.
Currently getting roughly 2-3% drain in that "airplane mode" time

What the? Do you have gestures enabled (eg: double tap to wake)?
In my opinion it consumes too much.. one time i got about 3% drain in about 8-9h idle with wifi on and no commute.
That's why i hate android idle drain. A never-ending issue.
SOT only 34 mins, 1h mobile data, the rest on wifi.
I've disabled gestures, location history, no google fit, etc etc
Not bad here. About .3% per hour overnight. So about 2% overnight. That's on 4G as I rarely ever have my phone on WiFi. I also have email at to push (2 accounts) and I usually turn off the sync stuff in my Google account. Things like app data, calendar, contacts and the rest. I just sync when I make changes like adding a contract I then toggle the contacts on then off kind of thing. No need to let it sync all day and night for nothing imo.
I just have that drain when location is set to "high accuracy". When its set to "battery saving" everthing seems fine.
I don't know what's wrong with my device/apps. Several times now i had a standby drain in around 7 hours of 30%+. I didn't plug my phone in overnight because of Dash charging, when I went to bed, the battery was at 37%. The next morning I overslept massively and completely missed my shift because my battery died over night. This is with airplane mode on during 75% of the night. The highest drain in battery settings was displayed for "Android System" with around 12% or so, but that was with the last day counted in. I feel like the battery drain stats in settings are completely unreliable...
Except from that I get normal battery life during the day though, although during the first few days standby drain was higher than screen on drain...

Yeah man you need to download accubattery or something to monitor the drain. That's ridiculous. And yeah I've been kinda confused about the stock battery stats as well. It seems to tell you nothing.
I have noticed a lot more battery drain since the 911 update a few days ago. I was getting 7ish sot now I'm under 5hrs. I'll bet I'm not the only one who noticed it though. It'll be fixed don't worry.

I had AccuBattery installed at first but it didn't give me any meaningful insights so I uninstalled it a few weeks later.
I normally only get around 3 hours of SOT, but I'm not into mobile gaming or YouTube so that is normal...
I notice significant drain in idle after the 4.5.6 update last week. Android system seems to be the culprit, but not sure what's process under this is actually causing the problem.
All radios on, and 2 mail accounts syncing.
