Battery draining too fast after 50% - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

This is an issue I've observed from the past few days, as soon as the battery reaches 50%, it starts draining rapidly. Till that I get 3h 30 min of screen on time and currently I'm on 15% and screen on time is 5h.
I am on stock OOS 7.1.1 ( not on the latest beta) , stock kernel, unlocked bootloader.
Only Facebook and whatsapp are the only heavy apps I use.
I have attached screenshots for convenience.
Please help.

I don't see nothing strange from the screenshots. 5h sot doesn't look bad at all too

Also, notice how from 50% your screen is on pretty much constantly. Before it wasn't. The drop in battery seems to correspond with your screen beeing on, which is normal

Battery Drains during Standby Mode

Does anybody experience a 3% to 5% battery drain just a few minutes after charging the battery to 100%? It has already reached 100% so I already unplugged it from the charger, but then I noticed after a few minutes, it went down to 97% already, and then in 10 minutes, it's already down to 96%. In 3 hours, it's down to 84%; in 7 hours, it's down to 38% and that's just on standby mode with Wifi/Bluetooth OFF, 3G OFF, GSM only. I've been experiencing this problem for the past few days now. I've already conditioned my battery, charging it to a full charge (100%) after draining the battery until it shuts the phone off. I only charge the battery while the phone is off and usually it takes about 3 to 4 hours maximum to charge it to 100%.
The longest time it reached was 12 hours (battery unplugged from charger) and that is with light use, such as Wifi is only on for a couple of hours, so basically just 2 hours web browsing and skype, 10-20 text messages and 30 minutes to 1 hour browsing the photo gallery or watching videos. No phone calls and 3G is off. The rest of the day, the phone is just on standby mode. I only have at most 10 widgets on the home screen. I have Avast Antivirus running in the background.
I am currently using Easy Battery Saver, Easy Task Killer, GO Task Manager and Battery Monitor Widget. I've uninstalled Juice Defender since I don't think it helps that much when it comes to the battery drain. Currently, the power saving option (available on Note) is enabled at 50%.
Wifi and Bluetooth: OFF when not used

Network Mode: GSM Only
Auto Sync: OFF
Auto Brightness (Display): OFF and scale is at the most left

Any feedback or comment on this matter would be really much appreciated. Thanks!
From a personal standpoint. Your screenshots shows that your phone had never ever done a deep sleep at all. the 'Awake' mode is continously consistent as well. I guess the probable reason for that is you've installed ''Avast AV" on your phone. It's always running in the background (whenever the phone is ON). From my experiences, Any background application running would always cause wakelocks and the phone would never enter into deep sleep at all.
How bout you try uninstalling some of the background apps your using esp. Avast AV and give it a day to observe if your still having that battery drain issue. (Don't forget after uninstalling or removing those apps, try to wipe dalvik cache and battery stat and restart your phone after.)
and Oh by the way, I am using Juice Defender and contrary to your saying it doesn't help.. IT DOES HELP save battery as I my Note is able to reach 1.5- 2 days of normal use.
Cheers!
Yeah and download betterbatterystats and do some searching on it. With it you can discover what is causing those wakelocks. Search the web for more info on your wakelocks.

I'm using avast and never seen a drain like that. Only time I have is because of background processing. First thing I would do is turn off Background Data
Then as others have said - check batterystats to see where wakelocks are
Plus a rooted phone is a good thing. Titanium backup allowed me to freeze wi-fi sharing which also made a big difference
Finally - clear all caches from Applications menu and reboot

Only picture that shows that is the one with 1 minute 56 sec discharging time, so it was taken shortly after taking charger out. No suprise of it being almost 100% screen on time there if its only 2 minutes
Also installing "cpu spy" will give the cumulative time that your cpu spent at each frequency including deep sleep , mine is showing 88%
John.
Anti virus app is battery hog, I had avast before too, and I uninstalled it after 2 days using. Also that Juice defender, from my test before, it use up more battery than it saved. turning on and off those 3G/Wifi thing is using up alot of battery. and you know what? even the betterbatterystats use up alot, at least to me, becoz it scan what is up frequently.
Hello! Thank you all so much for your response. I've installed both BetterBatteryStats and CPU Spy and here are the results (please see attachments). Upon checking CPU Spy, it shows there that phone did went to deep sleep, maybe? I'm not quite sure, but it shows on the screenshot that it went to deep sleep for 19%. So does that mean the phone really went to sleep?? I'm sorry to ask this question, since I've never really encountered this problem before with my previous Samsung Wave phone, how will you know that your phone went straight to deep sleep mode?
Also, after 46 minutes or so, the battery went down to 96% already after charging it. The battery drain was already 4% in less than an hour.
@letters_to_cleo: I have not uninstalled Avast yet, since I'm still hesitant to use my phone without an AV. But I will try your suggestion for 1 day and see if there's any battery improvement.
I'm looking forward to your response or suggestions. Thanks again!
i am having problem too with new battery original samsung ( made in japan, finished in korea) previously i use samsung battery made in china, finished in korea. charged it over night with power off. it only last 13hrs. my wife phone can last 30hrs.
i've used batterymix to check the battery usage graph, the usage graph drop very fast compare to my wife phone. i'll post some screen capture of the graphs.
another issue is i used once wifi sharing. after turning switching the wifi sharing off, the wifi sharing service always at the background even after many reboot. how to turn that off??
You might need a new battery. Any rechargeable battery has a finite charging cycle. Just a suggestion.
Hi, all! I just noticed that the battery drains still even during deep sleep mode. After 3 hours or so (during sleep mode according to CPU Spy), the battery went down to 92%. It drains even faster when the phone is in use, especially when Wifi and Bluetooth are on, maybe 2-5% drain in 1 hour.
Maybe there's something wrong with the battery?? It's still a new battery and I can see some improvement each day though, but that's because I use it less each day. Before the battery can only last for 8-10 hours, then it increased to 12 hours, and then to 16-17 hours. BetterBatteryStats' current estimate to empty is 24 hours as of today, but that's because I only used the phone today for only a couple of hours, with 20 minutes Wifi and Bluetooth ON and most of the time, it's on deep sleep mode according to CPU Spy.
What do I do with the results from the Partial Wakelocks? Do I have to disable those apps?? The Kernel Wakelocks didn't show any reference apps running. The screenshots for the Partial and Kernel Wakelocks that were taken a few hours earlier still show the same results after 3 hours.

That would be really bad luck. I got my Note via preorder in Germany at the first day it was sold and since then I charged it everyday, sometimes even twice and there is no difference to the first day. If I get told by Samsung after 6month of normal usage the battery is dead that would be the last Samsung device I bought and I use a lot of Samsung stuff.
@ebichan24
Your last screenshots show between 9:35 and 13:35 5% of battery drain. That's not really a good value but ways lower than before. Did you delete some Apps or what did you change?
And since when occurred this issue? Did you install new Apps before this happened?
On my Note I had this issue sometimes without any changes but it was gone after a reboot.
Gesendet von meinem ARCHOS 101G9 mit Tapatalk 2
Agreed with Kanalcommander.... try a reboot in the first instance.
Others have also noted that it takes a few refresh cycles before the phone more accurately reports battery use. Perhaps what you are reporting is because the phone and battery are new (new ROM or Kernel loaded?)
What I have done in the past is to reboot into CWM recovery then clear the battery stats (in the Advanced menu option) Recharge the battery to 100% until it says to remove charger and then use normally until battery down to around 20%, then recharge the battery to 100% again. Do this over a few days and that may help.
thanks, it is new battery two days old.

I was having similar problems with my new note and finishing full charge in 12 hrs but fixed some things and my last charge gave me 2d6hr seriously..few things i did were stop using live wallpapers! Get badass battery to thoroughly monitor stats and then use zdbox to extend life even much eg. I put phone to auto flymode using that app when its sleeping time rest i am more than satisfied even if on GB LC1 fw..waiting for official premium suite for ics since i recently upgraded from sgs2 using ics i miss that smoothness and much better bat life.. Let me know if can be helpful.. Good luck

That's what I'm currently doing right now, well, actually, what I do is I discharge the battery until it reaches 0% and turns the phone off. And then I charge the phone for 3 hours while it's switched off, I turn it back on again to check if the battery is fully charged and then I unplug it from the charger.
@Kanalcommander
**Did you delete some Apps or what did you change?
I haven't deleted any apps yet since I don't know which app/s to delete. Most of the apps I downloaded in Note were the same apps that I used in my iPhone4 and Samsung phone before.
**And since when occurred this issue?
This issue occurred since the first day I bought the phone, which was a couple of weeks ago. How long does it take to condition a new battery and new phone?? I'm sorry if I have to ask this question, it's just because I never really experienced this problem with my previous smartphones.
**Did you install new Apps before this happened? On my Note I had this issue sometimes without any changes but it was gone after a reboot.
I only installed recently CPU Spy and BetterBatteryStats and that's it. The drain of 5% from 9:35 to 13:35, the phone's just on deep sleep mode. And then from 13:35 to 23:44, it went from 92% to 74% while the phone is on deep sleep mode at 90% according to CPU Spy. That's 18% battery drain. It's just an unacceptable number for me. I tried rebooting the phone already, but every time I do so, just a few minutes after I turned the phone ON, there's already a 1% drain in the battery.
Also, does the battery really drain faster when the Wifi is ON? I've read in other threads that there might be some problem with the recent OS update that Samsung needs to address. Is this true?? Because as you can see on the screenshot below, the battery was still at 74% by 23:44 and then after I turned ON the Wifi and used it until 01:26, the battery went down to 54%. That's already a 20% battery drain in just less than 2 hours. I was only browsing through the Android Store and Skype.
Calibrate your battery in case you flashed any roms and for first usage I got my battery to 0% 3 times then everything is running great for example its at 47% now its 22 now and I have had it off charge since 7 morning..... i have wifi gps and 3g always on and use music player bluetooth and made some calls

My battery (also only a week old) drains quickly too. Can anyone tell me if widgets draw a lot of current? And then is it only the ones on the visible screen or do all widgets draw juice all the time?
I will ask such thing, did you guys check the battery expiration day ? Mostly sibce you got your phone almost a yeae after it was announced you nay get a bad battery, as for widgets the ones that are always active and asking for informatiom. Like location or weather over the internet yes they do eat your battery kinda fast.

Recurring battery drain? - Caused by memory of using app to drain battery?
Hello!
I used a battery drain app when charge left was 30% to accelerate drain to "die out" stage. After I completed the calibration process for unrooted phone as suggested in various sites (charge fully, switch off and charge etc.) I started using it from a 100% stage.
This afternoon when the battery showed 30% I saw in BMW the current flow was in -10ma to -15ma and it started spiking to hundreds. There was no change in settings or usage. From the 30% level it dropped to 10% in an hour and I had to charge again.
Was puzzled why the battery which was dropping around 0.5%/hour in standby earlier to the 30% level suddenly went down hill. My first guess was it was possible some file in the system remembered the previous usage history and replayed it out.
Any suggestions? Anyone faced this before? Everyone says LiOn batteries dont have memory so if anything it has to be the phone.
Thanks!

Is my battery Life running normal with 10H firmware?

I have changed my firmware from 10F to 10H as I heard that it is much better. I rooted it and then reset it to factory settings and I deleted some of the bloatware. I used LG gearbox and set the CPU speed to 1000mhz on two cores and used this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048315
In additions, I installed fast dormancy toggle from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021248
I charged my battery full to 100% and then unplugged it left it unattended while I went to sleep, wifi and auto sync was switched on and gps,location . My screen display is set to automatic. After 10hours 51 mins I lost 10% so it dropped from 100% to 90% I did not use any screen at that time as I was asleep. After that amount of time I used the phone went on youtube for around 30 mins as it says screen time 35 mins and so the battery dropped to 77%. I browsed the internet a bit further and still carried on youtube after another 20 mins (56 mins) the battery dropped to 68%. When the battery had dropped to 59% I roughly had around 1 hour 20 mins on automatic screen display settings but at this stage, as I used the phone more, the android system had went to the top. Sometimes when I just browse my phone, and just go on facebook and check email the battery % can drop very quickly like 1% every 3 mins, is this normal. I hardly use the screen that much. On the iphone 5 if you use the screen for like 5-6 hours browsing, playing games etc the battery would just drop to only 50%. Some people in this forum are saying that they are only loosing 10% per day, and per sleep they are only loosing like 3% if not then 0%. Is my battery normal running normal?

Looks normal to me.
Don't forget that using wi-fi, and specialy on youtube "drain" some battery. Not only
because of screen quality but also the amount of data that you "download", specialy
if you select best quality videos on your settings.
Facebook is kind of a drainer too, specialy if you have notifications ON, update for 30min. and location service ON too (activates GPS)...
I can tell you that could be better but also that could be worse... depends of what you need to be running in background or not.
What apps you need or not.
Don't believe on everything that people says... some had deleted almost all the apps, others say the battery lasts for days but, the phone spend 90% of the battery life in deep sleep...
O4X have some nice features, like high quality screen and all that cost something, that something is battery
A weak network signal or several signals, that make the phone change or look for signal constantly, also contributes for battery drain...
But your battery life looks pretty normal to me

Standby 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 Google Pixel 2'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!
Stand by amazing like international s2 amazing when the phone locks and goes to sleep even with all the listening it's doing this thing is solid ur at 5 percent and u lock ur phone u can guarantee that it won't move for a few hours
Went to be with 93% woke up 7 hours later with 93%.
Night 1, went from 55% to 47% in 8 hours. Hoping this is an anomaly and it gets better tonight. It's not terrible, but not great either, and not consistent with other reports I've heard.
Mine is average 7-10% overnight drain. Have had the phone for 3 nights. Will continue monitoring

Nope, everything enabled.
I noticed when my phone was not fully charged , around 94 percent , I lost 8 percent overnight . Gonna do a full charge tonight and see if another drain happens
From 11pm to 7am overnight the battery dropped from 90% to 80%
I tried with and without ambient for my standby average.
Without ambient it took 4% for 8 hours
With ambient it took 5% for 8 hours

I am a very light phone user, I went to bed at 100%, woke up at 100% , just now reached 90%!
I'm averaging a little over 1% / hour drain overnight. Looking at GSAM battery monitor, there's a small spike in battery usage at regular intervals. This even happened in safe mode.
So in other words, it doesn't hold charge during standby any better than other phones in this segment. My Honor 8 will only drop 3-5% overnight and it has numerous accounts set to auto-sync.

I tried Greenify and drain went down to about 0.4% / hour overnight. I'm not sure if the difference is Greenify or turning off Always on Display.
See my Screenshots below. That's what I am expecting from a standby behavior. When I'm done using my phone, there is almost no drain over a long period of time (like over night or during work).
How did i achieved this? I've disabled for certain apps the background app refresh, like on the battery consuming app Facebook - app keeps updating your timeline. ...or Whatsapp - app keeps downloading photos and text messages in the background...
All other pixel related features like always on display or playing now are still enabled. Expect OK Google, I prefer the active Edge activation.
I have also the newest official Software update installed with display color fix, (working) NFC buzz fix and November security patch. Build OPD1.170816.025
Always plug in over night, but in morning when I unplug, minor use for 3-4 hours still says 100%. NEVER got this good on my Pixel 1 or Nexus 6p. I have several push email accounts and background news, but ZERO social media apps loaded.

Same here and i was worry about the small battery in this phine but it seems it's better than what i expected.
100% at 11pm Las night woke up at 7:30am so 8 and a half hours later at 100%. Didn't even know that was possible. (No always on display of course)
Bug in battery usage stats
Just noticed an hour and a half after I unplugged my phone that the phone showed "13 min since last full charge" and the phone showed "100% battery life", thought it didn't make sense as already had about 20+ minutes of screen on time and was using Bluetooth. I restarted my phone and found the battery was at 98% then within a few minutes drained to 95%, but when I restarted it the battery stats showed "last full charge 0 minutes ago".
I'd guess if your batter is showing 100% after a few hours of use, the battery is miscalibrated rather than having super low drain.

Battery Issues

Hi All
I bought Nokia 7 Plus yesterday and set it up, but the battery drain so fast. I left my phone to sleep with wifi on throughout my sleep it drains 10% with just pushing notifications from FB, like everytime I will get FB Notifications and not open it it will drain 1% of the battery.
Remove fb and see magic
U just answered to your question. It's not the phone, it's just crappy facebook app.
Facebook Lite is the way to go if you need FB, I think - normal version eats battery a lot, and I'm not sure if that will be fixed at all - seems like they don't care.
If you have to use Facebook, use Facebook lite or alternative apps like Friendly.
Hi, I got Nokia 7 Plus yesterday and started using it today. Initially with the battery percentage came with package, battery draining was slow. After doing first charging from 21% to 100%, battery is draining too fast. It is common for some batteries and takes some charging cycles to get battery optimized. If battery draining is happening too fast even after 3 to 5 charging cycles then there would be some fault with battery.

I got my phone day before yesterday & its now running Android 8.1 with the May security patch. Since the time of use, I've charged my phone only twice & both times charged it up to 100%. I feel the batter is draining. Please have a look at the screenshots and let me know if the battery consumption is fine or its draining fast. The battery dropped by 1% in 4 mins of the phone being idle with the display closed. Also the stock camera app is consuming a lot of battery.
I can confirm a very hard drain, too. No way to reach 7-10 hours of usage.
i'm getting about 5-5.5 hours of sot with moderate usage... Checked the app usage..where it shows PUBG used 12% battery in 38 min, 45 min of youtube drain 8% 26min Instagram drain 5%...I don't use fb much on phone when needed i mainly use fb lite... .i don't use auto brightness. so my brightness level is always 45%.. in overnight( well it's like 5-6 hours) battery percentage dropped 4%.. Wifi is always on and GPS is always on high accuracy.. in power saver 19 apps are allowed for background activity...
Battery drain
I just purchased my phone yesterday and used it for some time. I put it on charging at around 20% and didn't use it until full charge. After it got completely charged and then I just used it for few mins it went down 100% to 95% very fast; later after few mins I started suffering net and did misc stuff for about an hour it went down to 85%. Next morning I saw the battery % was 81%. Is this normal? I mean how can it last for 2 day as the company claimed. Aslo I am android 8.1.0

This has been a comman issue with Nokia 7 plus, including me. My battery had high discharge rates in both Oreo and Pie. However, post March security update, I am seeing some good battery life. I would also suggest to update to Pie and update Device Health from Play Store. Hope it works out for you.
try letting the battery drain to 0% then charging it to 100
TA1062 with build 00WW_3_51F here.
Before the march update, the phone could last for almost 2 days with moderate usage.
After the march update, I barely have 5 hours of standby time, and like 2 hour of usage time. This is crazy ! Not heating, but also randomly shuts down while it says like 65% remaining battery. I haven't changed anything else !!!
Does anyone have any idea how to improve this ?

battery draining insanely visually noticeable fast

Hi. Phone age is 1 year daily usage ~ 2h average.
I noticed the first time today battery draining fast from 100% to 25% from watching 30mins or so twitch 1080p streams.
Then a little browsing got me to 15%.
By little I mean 10 15 min.
Then I saw the percentage drop by one every 2 seconds almost looked like a countdown. Never seen this before.
Phone shut down. Booted to twrp, sat there at 3% for ages.
Phone problem ? Battery sensor problem ? Battery dead ? I need to change it ? I'm disappointed I expected at least 2 years of decent service.
update: i let it charge fully
it shows 78% on lock screen and sais "Charged" .......
What is going on ?
update fix :
Wiped all except data
installed fresh aosp + opengapps + magisk 18. solved
