Battery better on 3.5.4 than 7.0 - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

So everyone says they are having killer battery life on nougat, and while it isn't horrible for me, I feel I had better battery life on stock 3.5.4 plus Blu kernel.
Am I the only one or does anyone else notice this too?

Well, I have better battery life in 3.5.3, thats why i downgrade it from 3.5.4

I didn't have great battery life right off the start. What I ended up doing is a wipe of caches and then a factory reset and since then I've had AMAZING battery life. On my phone I have a feeling that something didn't finish in the cleanup.

Reflashed 5.3.4 and update to 4.0.
It's the phone, its killing my battery

Same. Think I'm going to have to wipe completely--hate setting up everything again.

How did you go about doing that? Did you start on 4.0 and go backwards to 3.5.4?

Yup, I did that last night. On 3.5.4 no root, but using Blu Spark kernel. Will give it 2 days to see if the phone calls still drain as much battery as they do. If so, then I'm completely lost lol and will update to 7.0

Just wipe everything in TWRP and flashed the FULL zip for 3.5.4

Need help BADLY

Please bear with me. I tried posting questions about this in the Q/A forum and received no real help.
I recently went from FRF50 to FRF83 and started getting random reboots. I'm on the 4.06.00.12_07 radio with the stock kernel. I wiped everything before flashing.
Today I wiped again and reflashed FRF50 and everything seemed to be okay aside from maybe 1 reboot.
I just flashed the stock FRF85B and rooted it and I'm back to rebooting. It's even worse now. It reboots the instant everything loads.
I got the last_kmsg:
http://pastebin.org/365407
Please let me know what's wrong. I'm dying to know. Is it hardware? Is it the battery? Am I going to have to pay a buttload of cash for HTC to fix it?
Thanks for any help
1) This is the wrong forum and you know it.
2) Wipe everything, start over from stock rom.

Is it the wrong forum? Do people at the Q/A or general forum know about kernels/deeper info and do the people who know about that stuff venture over to those forums?
I tried getting info there, and I got none. This is the last place to turn.
What would wiping and starting from stock achieve?
No excuse for posting in the wrong location. But wipe data, all caches and reflash stock rom + radio. Report in General Section.

How will this help me? Okay if stock works, but what about the update?
Why not maybe looking at using one of the moded versions of the Rom. If those dont work then maybe you need to think of going back to the Stock 2.1 and waiting for OTA to hit your phone. Going back to 2.1 will fix the problem and getting the OTA should work. Other wise wiping and reflashing is all that someone can tell you to do since I know i am using FRF83 right now with no reboots.
Just wipe everything inc dalvik-cache
Stock kernel keeps rooting so I guess its a framework issue

I'm going to try to go back to stock and see if it works. If not I can only assume that it is a hardware problem and I'll have to bite the bullet and pay for repairs.
What kind of a hardware problem could it be???
Can someone help me get back to stock properly?

Sticky is full of bad info. I have new radio (4.06.00.12_07).
I'm assuming that if I get stock radio and the ERD79 update.zip I should be fine?

FML. Hardware issue. Just went through CM 5.0.8. flash from scratch including re-flashing new radio and new recovery and I got a reboot during sign-in to Google.
God ****ing dammit.
Any logcat?
if you have an ext partition.. wipe that as well..
might be a battery issue. my battery had been overheated during navigation and right after boot it would give out turn off and boot again. just replaced it and worked fine.
To check battery issue, I suppose running with charger inserted would be enough.

What do you mean by this?
I'm pretty sure it is the battery. Been keeping minimal use today without USB charging and haven't had a reboot.
Any other ways I can confirm a bad battery?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
If you can successfully boot and use the phone heavily while connected to a charger (preferrably AC charger - it can provide twice the current of USB cable), and you see no reboots - I believe that would point to your battery with a very high probability.

[Q] im on 10G and going to root, is factory reset required ?

As the title says, do i need to do factory reset after rooting ? i heard that it can do something good..? is this true?

Well it surely can't do anything bad
Factory reset might sound time consuming. But If you backup to the external SD using the LG backup app (for the settings of the phone, accounts and widget/homescreens) together with Titanium Backup for the Apps + Data. You can bring back your phone to what it was before a Factory reset.
But it looks like you flashed V10G, a Factory Reset after a flash can also help if apps start to act weird. Reinstalling apps is something I myself would do anyways then.
Factory reset helps if the phone seems to have strange behavior after rooting. I didn't have that strange behavior after root but other members did.
Success!
Many have reported better battery life after doing a factory reset when rooted. Might be that some remains from the rooting process are still there and eat up the battery.
Thr answer is no.

The "factory reset" requirement is not only for battery life improvement.
Its because of the root process that makes the phone to be slow like hell...
I can't say if the battery life get improved or not cause, everytime I root the phone the next step is "factory reset".
Well, in my experience the phone didn't become "slow as hell", because I would've surely noticed it.

Maybe yours didn't but, if you read some old posts you'll see that a lot of them did, mine included.
Now that doesn't happend but with the V10A/B it was slow to the point that I thought it was frozen...

Battery Stuck at 100%

So after 8 hours my battery still said 100% and even shut off due to dead battery and it still said 100% full. In TWRP it also shows 100% full. Any ideas? I have it on the turbo charger now, since it died, and will wait about 2 hours then try to reset battery stats. Not sure what else to try. Nothing new installed, phone is stock other than rooted and TRWP.
This is why I stopped rooting phones. One feature breaks 2-3 things and end up flashing daily update zips.

huh?
The phone was rooted the day I got it, Nov 9th, and it just started doing it today. So how does root automatically cause the issue?
Anyway, any ideas would be great I think resetting the batterystats has worked just curious what may have started it.

I've never had issues from just rooting. Rooting a phone doesn't cause issues but rather installing root apps and changing things causes issues. I would try to flash back to stock (backup data first) and then root it again to see of that fixes it.
Also did you use CF-Autoroot or one of the tool kits?
I fixed the issue, after that battery died I let it charge for about 4 hours with the quick charger and then reset the battery stats by using an app that deletes the batterystats.bin file. Then did a reboot and now the battery level is no longer stuck on 100%.
Same happened to me, phone is on for over 20hrs and battery is still 100%.
Waiting for it to shut off.

You can also try the bootloader trick, though not sure if it will work here.
Boot to bootloader, change to logs menu. Hold power until reboot.
FYI, batterystats is not related to what % battery shows is left.

root has nothing to do with breaking your phone. all root does is give you superuser permission. what breaks phones are dirty hacks that you yourself chose to use.

But that's strange, since it reported 100% in TWRP as well, looks more like firmware problem no?

Yeah maybe battery firmware confusion. I don't know where TWRP gets its reading from.

Battery Life = RIP After Marshmallow Update. Any Fixes/ways around it?

Since I upgraded to Marshmallow my battery life on my T Mobile LG G4 H811 has gone horribly wrong. My phone loses battery at least 20% faster than on lollipop. I am using a debloated custom Rpm since stock marshmallow was worse. Is there any fixes for the bad battery life? Any tips you guys can give me or kernel I can flash that will improve battery life? Anyone else dealing with bad battery life compared to lollipop?
Which ROM are you using? Debloated marshmallow should get you at least the same battery life as LP in my experience. Something is not right with your setup. Did you restore anything? Dirty flash?
Try clearing your cache and dalvik.
i am on genisys rom and it sips battery.
Use a file manager and go into system/bin and look for logd and rename it to lgd.bak then reboot. Battery life should be a tad better
Prolly not your problem but just to share in case:
Had the same problem, horrible battery life after upgrading to MM. No info on the system battery stats. Turned out it was the media scanner tripping out over this old QuickTime movie file I have saved. Better Battery Stats was the only thing that showed it, so if you haven't already try that to see if it can tell you what's up.
(Really curious why I had no problems with that file on LL, but guess that's another question).

I am on MicroMod777's "G4 H811 20i xTreme ROM" It already comes debloated. So I am not sure what is causing it. I did a clean install when I installed the rom. I will try clearing cache and dalvik.

Nice I will need to try that. System battery stats are complete BS. I usually use my phone with the screen below 15 percent and my phone says that's what consumes the most battery which is obviously false.

Like you I felt LL to be easier on the battery than MM, but not too much. It shouldn't be 20% worse. Cant go back to LL because of stage fright. You may want to consider CM 13. That's about as debloated as it gets and even CM can be made barebones. Any of the kernels with interactive governor should help with battery life. Good luck.

Charging issues with Oreo

Flashed Oreo following all directions. Updated twrp and firmware. I've tried every Oreo rom and charging is hit or miss on every one. Leads me to believe it's not the roms but something else. I did a full format and never reflashed a stock type rom first. I'm back on 7.1.2 now and it charges fine. I have no idea where to go from here. Any ideas?
Charging has been inconsistent on every single Oreo ROM I've used. Sometimes it charges slowly, sometimes normally and sometimes quickly.

The same issue was occurring on S6E+. It was hundred percent a kernel issue which was fixed under the kernel title. Could it be same? ?

I've tried every Oreo ROM, Pixel experience is the only ROM that still enables it to quickly charge. All 7.1.2 ROMs work, so I'm sure it's software

More than likely. Clearly fast charge support is present in the kernel since it works at times, but why not all the time. Odd.
I searched about this a while back and it seems a number of other devices had issues with flaky quick charge after updating to Oreo too. Maybe this is something that Psy can address with his kernel.
Works for me with Psyman Pixel experience, no problem, won't work with any other Oreo ROM though unfortunately

Every ROM I've used is capable of quick charging. The problem is that they don't always do so right away, or they do for a while and then step down to normal/slow charging. I've never used one yet where quick charging is outright broken.
Yeah Im not sure what's going on. Something's wierd here. I formated my internal again and tried to flash a miui rom and kept getting a screen telling me a reset was necessary....which took me to recovery then looped back to the same screen. Wierd. None of the miui rooms would work. Strange things going on with my phone! Back on good old 7.1.2. now.
