Since update to 4.1.0 - quite heavy battery drain. From 100% to 35% in about 8 hours which is very unusual for me. I usually get 36 hours.
Am seeing in battery usage that says Android OS 11% and Android system at 9%, phone idle 6%
I'm not rooted or bootloader unlocked. Just updates via OTA from 4.0.3
I've tried clearing cache from recovery and cache from phone storage.
Any suggestions or is it factory reset?
Hasn't happened to me since the update. You should at least try with a factory reset before worrying about anything.
Just let it settle for couple of days and check then again.
Don't clear davlik/ART from recovery if suffering from battery drain. Remember on past android versions after doing that or clean flashing? It would spend a lot of time "android is optimising", Nougat now processes this in the background at a lower level of CPU over god knows how long.
So i would just let it settle for a few days and then judge.
Saying that i clean flashed 4.1 over OB3 and recovered my backup and it's not too bad on my side.
Running 4.1 stock with blu_spark.
36h????? seriously????

Oh yes. If anything, battery life has gotten worse and worse for each new release of Oxygen.

The best battery life i had was on 4.0.3 with Franco, I had no Android OS or system drain. Somehow managed to get 7 hours and 41 minutes of screen on time. 4.1 has frequent drain of about 4% every hour but if anything its all the things settling down. I will update after few more days.
I have a real problem with WhatsApp and social apps in this release, their consume are huge...
It oddly got better, I'm doing a little worse than 4.0.3 at the moment but i'm sure it will get better! I took off my phone from the charger before going to bed and when i woke up it was at 92% ; I slept for 11 hours. Its rather odd that once i turned off my finger print scanner, I was able to get even better battery life. I managed 6 hours and 52 minutes. Can someone else confirm if the fingerprint scanner plays a role or not?

The thing is, that I'm having this issue for a while now. Battery drains extremely fast both on stock, stock + ext4, cyanogenmod, no matter what. Now I decided to install the stable version of Darky 10.1, but it's just about the same... It's like it drops 2-3% percentages in couple of mins (~10m). I'm using my phone at minimum brightness (btw, display uses 9%! only of the battery), no OC/UV, no animations, only 2g, no wifi, no gps, no account sync, so I'm like really trying to get more...
Okay, and here comes the thing: It used up 70% of the battery in less than 5 hours, and the battery stats looks like this:
Android OS 62%
Android system 10%
Display 9%
Cell standby 5%
Phone idle 2%
Dialer 1%
Dead Rider (just a game..) 1%
In my opinion, everything looks great, but the Android OS. Now what the *** is that, that this crap uses 62% and growing ?! PLease help, thanks!

Hmmm what apps r u using ? how many apps do u have installed ?
Did u buy ur phone used or from new and if u got it from new did u do the over charging for 16 hours or more ?
android OS is a huge problem for battery drain with a few causes and plenty unknown.
to fix it completely will require some skill full people from a closed source.. Download an app such as juice plotter or similar to find out a cause of the battery drain.
there are things you can do such as undervolting for extra battery life.
But the best thing to do is type in Android OS battery drain, in the search bar and have a good read up. i had this mega battery drain a few weeks back but i have it under control now

Charge your phone till it reads 100%, reboot into recovery and I think in Darky's Kernel under advanced you will see wipe battery, do this, boot your phone and let it charge back to 100%, then unplug your phone, let it die to 0 and charge again.....something weird is happening because it shouldn't be that bad....if the above doesn't work and you can rule out apps possibly you have a bad battery?? To rule out apps, wipe everything and do a fresh install of a stock ROM if it still drops then i would say it's a bad battery, but try what I suggested first (wipe battery stats)
The last maps upgrade causes bettery drain....
how to slove this problem?
Hi!
I have the exact same Problem..some say this is a bug in the gingerbread versions and can only be solved by samsung...is this true? Any ideas?
Well, I've had a pretty big read-up on it, and tested it myself, what's more tried out other things too. So I came to a conclusion, that this is absolutely true. It's said to be enough the 'freeze' the apps that cause this problem, but it's just not true. With frozen, they somehow still did it. So here's what I've done, and it looks like solved (far not as good battery life as 2.2.1, but still, at least acceptable...):
- format internal sd card
- removed the suspicious apps (msyncml, syncml, it depends on your rom, the important is, that it has "sync" it its name, and NOT account sync!)(I also removed Samsung account, and everything **** that I didn't need)
I'm having BUJV9 on right now with newest FuguMod and it looks good.
It does not mean Android OS is using 62% of your battery over the time in question .
Its a measure of what has used the power not the power drain on the battery .
Though useful on a heavy drain as your figures show display off OS using a lot but what time span at the top of your figures ..
I would guess from figures posted you have something working away in the background . A factory reset usually cures that problem .
Or find the culprit .
PowerTutor from the market may help .

I was having the Same Problems with Battery Drain. (Dropped 70% in 6 Hrs.)
It is related to 2 Services on Gingerbread.
Software Update & Samsung Account.
Clear Data and Freeze Programs using Titanium Backup and Your Battery should be back to Normal.
Huge drain on battery SGS i9000 android gingerbread v.2.3.3
I did like some other users have done I quess!?!
I upgraded via KIES from earlier version of android. After upgrade I did a reset to factory settings, but didn't set the "Format USB storage".
I installed a few programs and used the phone for a few days. After short time of usage I noticed that the battery drained really fast. Like 20% within 1 hour or so. Normally 20% battery drainage happens in a day with little use.
Then I thought something must have gone wrong with the last upgrade. Many time the tip is to clear the phone again and this time I set the "Format USB storage". It worked. Now the battery drains about 30 percent during a normal day with little use.
Since I have a backup of everything, I just installed the backup so the phone is back to normal again.
I hope this might lead to solving battery drainage issue for other users or at least and idea of what could be wrong.
First of all, I do not trust this solution, but it work to me
Solution is simple, remove your memory card from the phone
That is all
After check, found that the scan media always running to scan the memory card
This might deal to corrupted card
People say backup the data from memory card, format the card, put back the data
I haven't try format the card
But after my phone remove the card, now already 13 hours, I still have 82% and I did few phone call as well
there is an app by the name of battery calibration...follow instruction from within the app and it should solve the problem of android OS drain .. i shifted from darky 10.1 to MIUI 7.7 and 100% to 30% in 3 hours with normal usage and no wifi .. after this app battery lasted for two complete days ... so try it
There is another MORE SERIOUS BUG in ALL GB ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134741
After full charge in GB, phone start using batteries ONLY instead of CHARGER ONLY like in Froyo and lower version builds.
Samsung folks goofed up BIG TIME by making phone use batteries instead of charger after full charge while stopping the charge cycle. Because of this OS thinks its running on CHARGER (or USB POWER) and shows batteries as full charge when in reality it runs on batteries after full charge and will eventually make the phone dead through full discharge of batteries.
You could test this by keeping the phone connected to the charger after full charge for a prolong period. When you disconnect, based on the usage during that time, the batteries will instantly show lower charge than around 100% (could be close to 0% as well depending on usage after full charge if you disconnect charger before phone going dead at 100% drain).
Did you flashed Darky in 100% battery? The tutorial suggest you to do that. You can try to wipe battery in recovery mode.

If your phone is in idle state for a long time, there will be no third party apps running, only android OS, in the background. So, even if you loose 1% battery during the idle state, that will be cause of android OS, that is how it works. So Unless you are getting extremely low battery life, there is nothing to worry.
For example, suppose you left your phone for two hours and it drained 5% battery and Android System drained 80% of it, that means, Android system is 80% responsible for the 5% battery your phone lost, that means 80% of 5%drain=4%drain.
This means, for two hours, to keep your phone in idle state, Android system used 4% of battery. that isn't bad now , is it ?

You are right i guess.. :good: I'll give it couple of days and see how battery life is. Not satisfying for now anyway like %10 per hour or even worse.. Thanks for reply :highfive:

Since it is a new piece, give it a couple of charge cycles. once it stabilizes it will be good
I am litteraly getting about 5 hours of battery, with android system at 32% and android OS at 12%. What is wrong?
why dont you search for an answer in some of the other thousand of battery life threads?
and even with your given information (none) i guess no one is really able to help you.
but the Allrounder-hint seems to be a clean flash of the oos / factory reset to get a better battery life.. ive got at least 7 screen on time

The way the battery is calculated is different on 7.0 so System and OS will be higher. Also, I'm getting 6+hours SOT so you must have rogue apps draining.
Hello!
I've been experiencing worse battery life on my Nokia 8 since Pie upgrade, I haven't installed any apps nor services...
Note that the battery improved -but not as good as Oreo- after calibration using an app...
Are you experiencing the sane issue? Or should I further investigate?
Thank you..
yes
Same here. I got 12 hours screen on time once on oreo but now, it is a dream. Battery drains fastly due to background services. App restriction doesn't work as well as oreo's restriction. So, this situation causes battery draining. Also there is a weird thing i've faced, battery drains quickly from %100 to %95. I am waiting for Maintenance Release impatiently.
is battery life on oreo really that good?
I'm using pie since day 1 and never got more than 7h sot and 1.5 days.
My battery life is dire since pie, I was impressed with the battery in the 8 until this update, I cant even make a day without having to charge. When I say day I mean from 7am to 10pm as its left charging overnight.
Before pie I could quite happily last 2 days between charges, I'm not a heavy user, initially I thought I must be using the phone more. But I'm actually using it less just so it makes it to the end of the day!
Somehow it's worse again today, dead by 4:30!
Basically just checked phone to see the time, around 10 minutes of faffing in the morning, rebooted it before charging last night incase sonething was using battery. Madness!
For me, I've given my phone a factory reset before I installed the Beta labs/initial final(V5.110, December 2018-January 2019) build. Despite that, I did notice my battery life taking a hit when running this iteration of Pie. I was at most getting not more than 5 hours of SoT on average. And I do use my phone a lot throughout the day, the camera, web browsing, videos and social media. Meanwhile on Oreo, I can get 6 hours on average no problem. Sometimes even 7 hours if I'm lucky.
After updating to V5.140(February 2019) with Adaptive Battery brought in, I seem to have gotten back my average SoC just like when my phone was running Oreo. Running 5-6 hours on average. I'm not sure if Adaptive Battery has anything to do with this since I did notice the improvement immediately. I also disabled some of the Evenwell crap before updating to V5.140, so that may or may not have an effect.
If apps restricted didnt work then try manually restrict each app go to ur up hold it then info Then choose battery from there change background restriction
Ifaced this problem in beta when iwas sleep and wake up morning my battery was almost below 20 percent but i manually restrict all apps and its working 100 percent ?
Sorry to heat that. Have you tried installing some apps like better battery stats to see what exactly is saying up your battery? If your phone is rooted consider installing ForceDoze from f-droid and maybe WakeBlock to regulate some wakelocks that may be the cause of your terrible battery life. I have been able to get great battery life using the latest put version. See screenshot below from a few days ago.
I know that this is old thread but i have solution which i use with my nokia. change default launcher to another lightweight. This works and my battery feel better.
I should of updated, battery went back to normal after newer updates.
However, biggest thing for me, using DNS666 Ad blocker has seemingly doubled my battery life, might be a combination of just gotten bored of the phone or blocking all the ad's saves battery, or a bit of both, its also made the phone feel a lot more responsive overall, i'm using Squarehome as my launcher so maybe that was affecting the battery before?
Maybe which update can fix battery life? I rooted my phone and can't download latest update.
Typically if I take my phone off charge around 8am and don't use it, I still have 94% or more battery left by lunchtime.
Updated it to MIUI 12 last night, today I took it off charge around the same time, right now it's 1pm and I have 61% battery left.
That's a horrendous change. If I was using it I don't think I could see a full day out now.
This is a vanilla Mi 9 on stock everything, never fiddled with.
Anyone similar experience yet?
Miui 12 has the worst battery life, sot and usage time i have ever seen. I tried the beta for about 4 weeks, stable just a few days but its the same. Xiaomi should never published this as "stable". A lot of users had those problems with beta for weeks and reported it but nothing changed.
I switched back to miui 11 just for not killing my battery within months.
Edit: testing 12.0.2 and it looks like they solved the battery drain bug with this update
I'm on Xiaomi.eu Rom (latest stable MiUI12). Battery life is nearly the same as MiUI11.
MiUI11 end of the day: ~30-35% remaining tipically
MiUI12 end of the day: ~20-30% remaining
So for me this is not bad for the first MiUI12 builds. First MiUI11 builds were more worse for me...
The worst battery drain I have ever experienced. Its good on standby, through the night goes down by 1% but during the day I lost 70% using google maps and data for an hour. With miui 11 I would have used maybe 20 max. im gonna root my mi9 and go back to 11 cause I dont think xiaomi is going to fix it any time soon
I've seen it so many times before... Once the phone is not the top flagship in OEM portfolio they don't care about the quality of the update. I don't think it's ever going to be fixed. Get used to it or go Custom ROM
Happens only on the first day of upgrade from MIUI 11. The next days are even better. It's easy to pass full day (normally I got around 1.25) with around 5-6H SoT.

For me it's just impossible. It's easy for me to get high SOT when I watch something with screen on all the time but it looks like phone have a hard time getting into deep sleep mode so it hurts standby time.
Weird. We all have different problems. My mi9 goes into deep sleep without any problems. I can also get 6h screen time but when I use data baterry goes really really fast. I can easily go from 100% to 10% in 3h using only google maps :/
Yeah battery drain on miui 12.0.2 is awful. my android system usage stats is about 43% right now? and they also remove Override Force Dark Mode option from developer options which was so usefull for me? we probably haven't need IOS notification style!
