Hey all,
After upgrading to nougat, I've had pretty terrible battery life. Essentially, my phone will always drain battery. Turns out, every 6 seconds on average, Google quicksearchbox is turning on my phone for something or another. I've tried wiping cache and data through system and recovery for Google services with no luck. I don't have any wakelock contributing to this. I've disabled a ton of apps and settings so far with no change. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this short of trying a factory reset or custom rom? What else can I try? I'm not rooted. Thanks!

I think Google services does some background activities after we upgrade Android versions.. typically for 2-3 battery cycles.. after which you should get better results.. if it's past that too.. then it might be a drain issue

I upgraded on the 31st and was having this issue 6-7 days out. I upgraded a few hours ago to the 4.0.1. Hoping that does the trick. Few hours in and doesn't seem to be too much better unfortunately. Fingers crossed.

Have you tried disabling the app for a while?
Uninstall reinstall the app/updates?

1. Disable which app? Google now? No, because it didn't used to do this and I use google now all the time. I'm sure if it was an issue with the app version, other people would be having issues too.
2. Yes, tried this. No change
What helped me with battery is turning location to high accuracy then turning off google location history, then go into battery and turning on "close app with high battery drain", and turning on agresive hibernation, and finally restricting any app that don't need cell to wifi only. Hope it helps, I did this to my brother's OnePlus 3 and it saves him about 40% at the end of the day.

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with battery like everybody else.
I'm not a n00b about this and I have no crazy apps installed (I'll attach the list of apps I have)
My rotation sensor is off,
AutoBrightness is off,
HSDPA is turned off,
UMTS is turned off,
EDGE is always on and AutoSync is always on.
I have only 1 widget running that is Battery Monitor Widget.
Using SpeedMod K13C 500Hz with no tweaks applied and no lagfixes applied, I'm having huge battery drain randomly, most probably when I switch network connections wifi-edge-wifi-edge.
Here's my RomKitchen log file

Here's my installed apps list
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1339016/SGSInstalledApps.txt
Here's a screenshot from my last battery graph (this rom is installed almost 20 days ago)

As you can see, my battery instantly dropped by huge amount.
All I did was wake up the phone,
toggle Wifi ON,
open Skype,
login, call a contact for 3 minutes,
logout Skype,
toggle wifi off.
What I want to know is, if Wifi driver patch needed with this setup? Will it make any difference? Maybe it was not my wifi but my screen?
I desperately need advice on this.
Thanks guys.
Uninstall Skype and test it. Its running even when logged out and eating too much battery. Have tested it withhero and system panels monitor. ..
The battery draining that much all at once strikes me as very odd.
Off the cuff that seems like a reporting error to me. Try recalibrating the battery a few times the old fashioned way (drain fully, charge to 100 while off, wipe batt stats, rinse, repeat) and see if it happens again.
Good luck.
Thought about trying totally stock for while I tried different kernells and found I still go back to stock best ive had is js5 getting around 45 hours on stock against charging twice aday with modded phone

Calibrating battery and freezing skype with titanium backup seem to fix problem.

Hey all - I was astounded at the Turbo battery life when I first got the phone, and it's behaved normally until about two weeks ago. Since then, I've been lucky to have it last one day. I really don't use my phone very much; maybe five or ten brief calls a day, an hour of surfing, some wifi hotspotting, etc. My first thought was some sort of draining app, and the phone had been bugging me to OTA upgrade forever, which I didn't, because I rooted with mofo. So I took the plunge on Sunshine/bootloader/5.1 and at first everything seemed fine, but I'm experiencing the same kind of things now. I'm at 36% now, having spent eight hours today outside doing yard work with the phone in my pocket. I did a bit of browsing, texting, phone today but not much.
I'm wondering if my phone battery, like all batteries eventually, is at the end of its life. I'm going to NYC early next week and really don't want my phone to be dying while there. Here's a screenshot of my battery usage today:

FWIW I didn't open Google Play today, so perhaps it was updating apps automatically - but I really don't have very many, so that shouldn't have taken massive amounts of battery.
There's a LifeLine place in town that's been good about replacing screens in the past so if it is my battery, I may take it to them.
Many thanks for your input!
Did you flash a new ROM or do a factory reset? Sometimes it helps to wipe the system and data partition (not user data, back it up just in case) and start fresh. At the very least I would wipe cache.
Other than that, you can try wakelock detector, restricting background data for Google services, and toggling all connectivity and location settings off then back on. One of those battery stat reset apps works sometimes as well.
I would say the battery is on the decline if you start fresh and don't see excessive wakelocks, yet it still doesn't last as long as you expect.
Good luck.

Many thanks, Spyder - actually I think I may have figured it out! I noticed that Google Play Services was taking an inordinate amount of battery, and read that a recent update may have messed things up. So following some instructions I found I uninstalled updates and then reinstalled them - and it seems to have made a huge difference!
Many thanks for these excellent ideas, however - I love this forum!
Can anyone help? I just got my Nexus 6 a few days ago and have already had a lot of problems. Battery draining fast, randomly turning off, phone battery "dying" at 45% etc. I heard the Franco kernel could fix this so I flashed it via fast boot (storage wasn't mounted in recovery so I couldn't do it that way. But in any case the fast boot flash went through and the battery started draining normally so I thought all was good. I even took a screenshot just in case.

That was until my phone randomly turned off and when I turned it back on the battery was draining super fast again so I checked kernel and here is what I believe is the stock kernel reverted back on its own
I don't know what causes this but it's happened twice and not sure how else to proceed.

When I got my N6 about 19 months ago the battery life was not enough for a day.
I got a better battery life as follows.
a. Deleted apps I hardly use.
b. Switch apps to use black/dark themes. Use layers with dark themes.
c. Deleted apps with only a white background.
Replaced f.i. Gmail by Aquamail.
At this moment I use the lite stock rom MOB30m of Danvdh. Prerooted and debloated.
I suggest to start with flashing this ROM.

I signed up for the Android N beta and updated, that seems to have fixed the draining problem but not the battery dying at 50% . Any ideas how to fix that? Or do I need a new battery?

Sounds like a calibration issue. Google that and try and see if that helps.
Hi everyone,
I have this little phone for about 2 weeks and I've never ever reached a good and consistent on screen time. I've always had about 2-3 hours, although this phone could manage 5-6 hours on screen time!
This is my situation right now (I have 43% battery left)

Is that normal??
If you disable RCSservice you will get at least 20% of your battery back, with no side effects.
RCSservice was invented by google as an alternative messaging protocol, to be added to mms messaging. But it never really took off and from what I can gather, some service providers don't support it, at which point RCS seems to go into some sort of error state, eating battery.
I put some instructions together on how to remove it and reclaim some battery.

Disable wifi scanning under location settings.
'Keep wifi on during sleep' should be set to 'only when plugged in' (under wifi prefrences\advanced)
Try installing Greenify to slow down the wakelocks.
Better Battery Stats can be installed on a non-rooted phone with some ADB commands. This will tell you everything you need to know, what's waking the phone, what's using the network, whats' waking with alarms etc etc. As well as having a helpful thread to talk about what you find.
Using 5Ghz wifi uses a lot of juice, if possible sepearte 2.5Ghz & 5Ghz bands on your home wifi and use the 2.5Ghz. The speed difference is negligable.
Disable sync under account settings . This will save you heaps of battery, but then you're going to have to open Gmail and press refresh to find out if you have mail. Most other stuff works ok with it turned off whatsapp/twitter/snapchat/et all
Here a similar issue with the XZ1 compact. Think battery life is quite disappointing to be honest, felt it was better once upon a time.
My XZ1C battery life is quite good

is this normal guys or there's some issue?
hello the battery stats are not consistent. This was seen on several xiaomi models. Better use an extra app to monitor. Screen as biggest drainer alone uses normally 9-15%/hr depending on brightness. in your case 1hr9min 13%loss is normal.
Hi,
I think mine same issue as yours. Put the device overnight (location, bluetooth on & internet access off) for 8 hours, 6-7% of battery drops.
Where cell standby consume the most battery.
Even with airplane mode, still 4-5% drop.
May I know is it same as your condition?
Thanks in advance.
Mi10 which was 1y old , i was able to have full charge (even 85% with battery limiter), was lasting until 2nd day evening (40h +), normal usage.
12 Pro - fully charged in the morning 100% and evening is under 20-15%, really disappointed with battery life / management
Running this Stable "xiaomi.eu_multi_XM12Pro_V13.0.32.0.SLBCNXM_v13-12"
not good but also not too bad
official EEA Rom with accu battery stats and 120hz whdq+ 2sim and no restrictions. (location...)
Not sure if it will help, i'm on Mi Mix 4 and using MIUI 13.0.6 EU ROM.
Cell standby used to eat 70% of my battery i followed the following steps and the issue fixed.
1. Go to Google play store.
2. Search for "carrier services" app by google.
3. Uninstall it to reset it to factory settings.

5 hours after uninstalling
I hope it helps !

update after mobile being switched on overnight.
OK, have just done this. Note it says the last update was removed. Surely Play Store will attempt to update the app - should I allow that?
Update - does not work for me.
