Is it just for me? After a full charge the screen on time is about 2 hours.. Tried cm11 and other custom roms without luck.. When i bought the phone and wasnt on KitKat the screen could pass 4hours. Huge different!
In battery info the only program that drain the battery is the system it self . any tips?
check your rom and kernel, any overclock setting is active.
check battery usage to find what drain your battery.
Mine have 4h30 - 6h screen on (just wifi, without mobile data)

No overclock set.. Just the system thats drains battery..
@colors Battery life isn't as good as I think it could have been but at completely stock and with nothing on the phone the phones battery is pretty phenomenal, an idle Z1 will stay on for over a week, infact i've seen some phones with 19 days before now quoted within stamina mode.
Just took a pic of one in my workplace and it's saying just over 19 days, that's not too bad for a phone which is always on and capable of receiving apps via wifi (see picture attached)
I know that 19 days is excessive and no one here is ever going to get anywhere near that or even a week, unless you don't use the phone, the problem most of us face is the apps that we use and their footprint on our phones, affecting battery life and performance.
Take a good look at your apps and what you use and see what you could do without or what could be affecting battery.
A clean install will usually give you great battery if theres nothing on the phone to slow it down, eliminating apps one by one might seem mundane but it's key to great battery life, after a while you'll learn whats bad and whats acceptable.
Using the likes of CM11 could cause even greater battery drain as it's all custom stuff, not to mention that some things within the system aren't working as good as they could be, there is still a lot of work before things are perfect, double tap to wake for example is a feature which could cause massive drain.
Always perform a full wipe and don't restore anything via recovery, leave it as a bare rom until you can verify the ROM you are using is without issue.
Hope this helps
Hey everyone,
My note 4 on 5.0.1 running any rom (stock, poprocks, TekHD) runs super hot. The area on the screen that is right below the camera is unpleasant to touch. When running a cpu temperature monitor I seem to identify around 60c and when Web browsing and scrolling though pages it'll go up to 70c. This also seems to be killing my battery life. Over 10 hours I'll be lucky to get 2 hours sot.
I've gotten wld and bbs and don't see any crazy wake locks that aren't supposed to be there. Largest one is my Google play music which I do use. 2nd up is Bluetooth, I'm guessing because of my android wear device. I've also done clean installs where I do a correct wipe then don't install any apps. Still horrible battery life, still lots of heat.
From reading about it sounds like the heat issue could be a bad device and I should get it replaced? Should I try picking up a new battery?
Over the course of writing this post, about 4 minutes I've gone from 17% to 10%.
Reinstall rom with factory kernel and install kernel adiutor apk for cpu control from google play. Im using rapture 3.0 without issues and battery pretty good and temp is normal.
Sent from my SM-N910T
Same problem here SM-N910G on 5.1.1 stock ROM. Installed a new genuine Samsung battery, NC. I hit about 60°C when at idle, 65°C when browsing. I wiped davlik cache and cache on teamwin, which seems to have helped a little. Battery is lucky to last 4-5 hours tops.
Did you find a solution? I thought it might have been from using Blitzwolf and Xaomi chargers, but it's the CPU getting hot, battery stays at 40°C
Are you using a custom kernel? I had an issue with a bad kernel setup and it restored my settings automatically which was the cause of my battery drain.
Hello everyone
I recently bought a used Xperia Z1 (C6903), which came with Lollipop 5.0.2 installed (Build .270). It has a defective screen, which is going to be replaced shortly. I mostly use it with a mouse via USB. Other than that, it is perfectly fine.
On Thursday, I inserted my SIM card on the device and installed the latest build available for this device, which is 14.6.A.1.216 (Lollipop 5.1.1) via Flashtool, making sure I did a factory reset. On Friday, I rooted it using KingRoot (promptly replacing it with SuperSU) and, as I did my research first, installed Wakelock Detector to compare the battery between each Android version. On 5.0.2 battery was pretty good, maybe because the phone didn't have the SIM card inserted, but still used WiFi and had a lot of apps which were left by the previous owner (Such as Facebook and FB Messenger, which both are battery hoggers). Even then, the phone had tremendously good battery, managing to reach 3 days on a full charge (I observed that before buying it). The only problem was that the phone overheated a bit.
Now that I have installed 5.1.1, things got worse. The only good things are that the overheating problem is gone and the performance seems a bit better. However I saw that for many, the battery was way better on 5.1.1 than on 5.0.2. This isn't the case for me. The battery drops approximately 1% each 30 minutes, with the screen off. I don't have mobile data on, as I always use WiFi, so the radio active bug doesn't affect me (right?). I have disabled most, if not all useless apps or things that would keep using the phone's resources. I disabled them, not uninstalled them because the phone has a problem with root permissions, saying that system is not mounted as R/W but still giving apps root access and they can disabled apps just fine. Currently I have none of my apps installed with the exception of Wakelock Detector, thanks to the battery drain and the defective screen which prevent me from doing much. STAMINA mode is on, but I don't notice it working too well, as it doesn't turn WiFi off when the screen is off, even though that option is turned on. I cannot deliver an exact screen on time as don't use the phone that much, but it is average 3-4 hours.
Wakelock Detector tells me that the phone has been awake by 12%, even though there aren't any wakelocks nor apps that would take batery. I would have tried with BetterBatteryStats but it is a bit confusing to use for me. Most people here on this phone's XDA forum complain about the battery in Lollipop, but Kitkat has provided them very good battery life.
Is there any way to fix this? I will provide anything that is asked, such as screenshots of Wakelock Detector, etc.
Should I downgrade to 4.4.4? (Build .157 or whichever you recommend) or perhaps install a custom rom based on 4.4.4, like iHackers? I would test them myself, as it is the best way of telling the difference, but I have a very bad connection and downloading files over 1GB+ takes 5 or 6 hours, only if it doesn't disconnect automatically. The most important things for me are the performance of the phone and the battery life.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad english.

Right. I will use it, thanks for the tip. As you have to downgrade to KitKat in order to install custom recoveries and the like, I already did so. And I discovered something new, which wasn't on Lollipop. KitKat's battery stats show that 39% of the phone's battery is used up by the screen, even though I barely use it and it is on the lowest brightness possible. Other than that, another culprit is the mobile signal, which shows a high usage of battery.
EDIT: I have now installed the rom and indeed, the battery problems seem to be gone. Battery isn't dropping as it did, and Wakelock Detector says that the phone is now 1-2% awake
At 1 point, 5.0.2 had a lot of battery problems and performance issues
Are u facing any on MX now ?

So far, battery has been perfect the phone easily lasts 1 day and still has 40% left. I guess that could be better, but I am satisfied with it
One thing I have noticed is that even though the ROM has much bettery battery management than the stock rom, it feels somehow slower. In developer options, the "Force GPU rendering for 2D" option is enabled. I disabled it and weirdly, the phone seems to be faster and smoother, like it was before. The opposite of this should be happening, as I've read that it instead makes the phone smoother than having it ticked off

None, especially since the latest firmware was used. try chaning your kernel, I use Advanced Kernel, thought the latest has a chinese/japanese twrp recovery, he might fix that in the next version.

Hi
I've reflashed the ROM, stock kernel and now it seems perfect.
What does advanced kernel offer in your honest opinion than the stock kernel

I normally would test stock, then go ahead testing a custom advanced kernel and compare the findings and differences over a few days of usage.
However, will be using stock for now as it hasn't given me any real problems with performance and battery

Why did you change? I just installed mx rom now! Seems pretty good so far, but still too early to comment on the battery
There's no such issue with this update.
I'm sorry to say this, but things are now where they were before I flashed MX Rom
Three days ago the battery started draining like before, with high usage of the process "Android System", approximately 30%. The screen also has high usage, but really shouldn't as screen on time is barely one hour. I also learned how to properly use BetterBatteryStats, and it reports that the device has 100% no or unknown signal. The phone also is doing weird beep sounds around the camera area. I've factory reset the device, but it didn't do anything. In fact, it is worse now. Battery drain is approximately 3% an hour. And that is with WiFi, Mobile Data and almost everything else off. I also don't have any apps installed. The same happens with Android Kitkat. A lot of apps are also disabled.
I had a battery drain for a long time on my Nexus 5. Device was awesome when I bought it, but after upgrading to Lollipop I started to get strange battery drain problem which reason cannot be found easily, it's nothing in Settings->Battery on graph - no apps using battery, but it goes from 100 to 0% in about 7 hours. Even if I dont use it at all, battery discharges very fast.
I tried different ROM versions and found that battery life is soo much better on 4.4.2. I found that 4.4.2 has baseband v 1.0, and starting from 4.4.3 it was upgraded to 2.0.
So I solved it by downgrading baseband to 1.0. I found that very likely that any baseband works with any ROM, so I flashed latest 6.0.1 system, then flashed radio from 4.4.2. fastboot, unlocked bootloader. I think to make it work reliably, don't make it boot first time after flash, hold power button, and Volume down, it reboots to bootloader. Then do factory reset and reboot. In my case radio is recognised and works.
Now I have latest stock ROM and radio from 4.4.2, and battery life in standby is so much better. I tried to replace battery 2 times, but battery was actually OK. For those who have similar problem u should try it. Google made a great device, still fast and works very good, but they or Qualcomm maybe ****ed up things in modem firmware since version 2.0. Probably not everyone is affected but for me difference is huge, its like normal device with reasonable battery life, but becomes junk after software update. I will think twice before I'll buy something more from Google. Why I must to support device myself, if I found how to fix this why they still not released proper fix? Probably Google doesn't care about product quality after several months.
surely, is an experiment to try .also if , the battery drain problem I'm suffering, like many, more when the screen is on.
during screen off the battery falls but little, turned on the screen, also even if you do nothing and just read [low light, dark menu through substratum, dark backgrounds, cpu and gpu limited kernel with blue spark powersave settings, night vision in browser] decreases the battery 1 % every 2 minutes, something noted by many and to me with various Roms [octOS mm e n, purenexus 6 and 7, stock] .
this is for me the "great mystery" of this device
I'm coming from a OnePlus One. Unfortunately, I can't find reliable BLP571 replacement batteries in the U.S., so I purchased a new OP3t.
On the OPO, I have been running custom MM and N-based ROMs. When the OPO (currently running Nougat 7.1.1 on TugaPower 2.1) is sitting around doing nothing, I typically see my idle battery current drain at around 9 uA to 14 uA and Wakelocks around 10%. Of course, when I turn the screen on, these jump up.
On the OP3t, I have tried running both OOS 3.5.4 and the new TugaPower 4.0 (which is based on Nougat 7.1.1). When the OP3t is supposedly doing nothing, I saw an idle current of around 85 mA on OOS 3.5.4, and around 35 mA on TugaPower. I didn't check the Wakelocks on OOS 3.5.4, but the Wakelocks on TugaPower are around 93% awake time (!!!!).
When I wake up in the morning, the OP3t is down to around 75% battery. For reference, my OPO used to be around 98% overnight when the battery was new. Even now, my ancient OPO with a nearly useless battery is around 85% for the same overnight time period.
What can I do?
3.5.4 actually has drain issues, try 3.5.3
Even after the annoying wake-locks and the random battery drain that just happens because why not... I still manage to get 5-6 hours of SOT, I have managed to push it till around 9 hours if I keep the Bluetooth and data off; with Greenify and using the aggressive doze it has helped but I don't get any notifications until I turn my screen back on.. Which is fine with me, as I get texts and calls. It's much better than the nexus 6 and the galaxy s4 which would struggle to even get 4 hours of on screen time. There are plenty of people raising issues about battery life on the OnePlus3T even though its probably much than your last device. XDA also has plenty of threads already created talking about the same subject.
Edit - I'm on the latest nougat update 4.0.1
the 3T or OOS doesnt have any drain or bad battery issues.
the problem is user/user-app based.
sort out the app which is causing the problem.
I just made a post to a similar thread. It seems the battery issue is hit or miss. At any rate, please check my post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70581453&postcount=9
Let me know if this helps you out. Look forward to feedback.
Greenify + ForceDoze = problem solved. I see 1% drained per hour at the very worst.

You stole my thunder.
Just kidding, but you're absolutely correct. I'm waiting to get my OP3T and then I will write a tutorial for users to help them out with the battery. Those 2 apps will be in my tut along with a few others that are helpful!
Weird, usually my phone, while idle of course, drains by 1% every 2 and a half to 3 hours. During use while im not playing games or anything im using pixel filter. Most time ive gotten is 9 hours 32 mins screen time. Im on 4.0.1 not rooted. Just uninstall apps u dont really need like amazon, youtube, facebook, tumblr and so on and use Firefox web browser. Firefox has background play for YouTube or any other audio source so you can stream music on Spotify soundcloud or whatever you want. I basically rely on Firefox for all internet things as if my phone were a PC. Saves time and battery because with 6gb ram my browser never slows down or reloads. Firefox is also really nice in the background consuming only 10mah every hour when not active or streaming audio. Cutting down ur app count will allow your device to doze longer, fetch less data and it certainly drains far less. Also if you're into this sort of thing, boot times are much quicker too.
Edit: sorry for the unedited massive paragraph here.
Another Edit: Make sure in case you want to use battery saver mode while streaming music to toggle Firefox to have unrestricted data usage in the data saver menu.
Check the link in my signature. My drain wasn't quite as bad but might help you figure it out. Good luck!
Thanks, guys! Greenify + ForceDoze seems to be helping a LOT! I'll need to let it run a few days to see the the real-world numbers.
I am having a problem adding apps to the ForceDoze Whitelist, though. Is that a known issue?

I've found that the whitelist appears blank until you add or remove an app, then the whole list will appear.
For me at times something appears to kick in in the background causing the CPU to spike and the phone to heat up. I can't figure out what it is though. When this isn't happening the battery drain is virtually zero and the phone flatlines overnight ,when it kicks in,the battery loses about 10% an hour on idle. I think there might be faulty drivers or something in the ROM causing this?! It's not apps as it happens to me on a completely debloated ROM with no apps. This is on Lineage and OOS. I've never seen this before on the phones I've had.

OOS 4.01 - I am experiencing exactly what you describe at 12%/hr and I have done literally all of the suggestions here. I have greenify, force doze, turned off location, disabled swift, did a factory reset and installed only 1 or 2 apps- and still I can watch battery drain with:
4 hours off charger and down to 44% with:
Kernel (android OS) 42.5%
Android System 33.7%
Google Play services 2.4%
Blah...Blah... (much smaller %'s)
What the heck could be causing this kind of drain? It seems to flatline when not in use for a while...
thoughts? Love the phone., but it is not usable like this....
4.0.1....No battery saving apps..

Hello,
I usually use Greenify Paid Version + Amplify Paid Version but only in 6.X roms in 7.X Xposed isn´t released yet....
Do you recommend use Greenify + ForceDoze (I never heard about this app) even without Xposed?
Thanks in advance.
I am still struggling with battery performance on my new OP3t.
I am running TugaPower N10 (LineageOS 7.1.1) + Better Battery Stats + Battery Monitor Widget + ForceDoze + Greenify.
While my wakelocks seem to be pretty short now, my lowest average current drain is 35 mA. For reference, my old OnePlus One had a lowest average current drain of 7 mA, or about 5x more on the OP3t.
My battery meter reflects the higher drain.
I have the same apps installed, maybe even some less.
Looking for more assistance ...
I'm on 4.0.3 OOS and using Franco kernel, 2% drain during all night, 5 hours of screen on time and still 56% battery, check what is wrong with your apps, or move from Lineage to OOS, is simply better.
EDIT: I'm not using any app like ForceDoze or Greenify
I'm not dissapointed.
