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.
So how's EMUI 5 Beta for u guys in terms of battery life?
Ever Since i got the nougat beta my battery life has been horrible especially when idle with Android OS Absolutely Killing my battery in standby without any WIFI or Mobile Data On . Normally i would lose 10-15% overnight
My Build Number is VNS-L21C185B331

Did you dirty flash? If so try factory resetting your device, anyway android n it's still in the beta stage for p9 lite so expect some downside

I have a VNS-L31 device and currently on B336 version. My battery life is super awesome now. Even though standby drops some percentage. When I use it, basically I can get 6 hours of screen on time with mobile data (4G). So no problem so far.

No I have tried factory reset multiple times along with wipe cache but Android OS bug doesn't go away.

I've read around the internet that the cause could be the geo-localization when there is no WiFi nor mobile data.
I have your same problem during the night time. This night I'm going to try to deactivate also the localization together with WiFi and mobile data to see what happens.
I will update you.
Anyway this is a beta so I think also that it is normal to have this kind of problem. I'm sure that this will be fixed in future versions.

What ia strange is that there is no battery drain when mobile data is on...
At least in my case...
hey Guys, I can confirm I am experiencing the same battery drain as well - Android OS is taking from 10-20% of battery usage and is always on the top. I'm in official BETA project with build 336 and despite factory reset and few other 'tricks' I still have this drain. Not sure if I receive any beta update, I will have to probably wait for stable release If anyone resolves the issue, please post it here
Awesome!!!
Android N vs RR
Hi all! This is my first post on this forum ?
So i just wanted to ask your experiences about battery life on these two ROMS: stock android n (vns-l31c432b336 and latest RR build.
If your tried both of these which one you recommend for better battery life? Im not so much into all of these RRs customization options and im gonna install ROM with best battery life. 4g always on, surfing and whatsuppin usually.
I am not sure about RR, but on B336 the worst result was around 5h SOT on LTE/WiFi (mixed) plus Spotify and YT a lot
Hi. I've been having problems with the battery life, especially about standby time. Battery has been draining at an alarming rate on standby. Any help?
Bumpin, got the same issue after updating to Nougat

I have been searching for Android OS battery drain in standby since January but still havent found any.
I dont know why most you guys have a problem with the battery... I had high battery drain but somehow I solved the problem. The only thing I did was disabling the 4G option and my battery life is awesome on N. At least for now...
Now I have 0-2% battery drain overnight.

I have one question for you, can you compare N and MM (according to you experience) of battery drain with 4G ON and OFF. Do you have more battery drain on N or MM with 4G ON?

It drains for me even on 2g. Android OS is keeping my system awake all the time -__-
For me the consumpiotn of Android OS is about 20% for me, is it normal?
Up until now i had only read about these battery sapping horrid problems. Being on OS Beta4 i though might be lucky enough to be exempt. But last night i lost over 30-40%.
Wakelock detector told me G/app and G/services are at fault and the cause of qcom_rx_wakelock keeping phone awake 50% of the time.
Has anyone experienced this and got a solution. Very annoying and thx in advance.

me too but I realized thoses kernel waklocks are supposed to be there and its not a reason that your battery drains over night. My 5X 6P 3T HTC10 have them but Thoese wakelocks can be blocked by installing a custom kernel. My 3T sleep like a baby. the battery graph is flat.
They maybe supposed to be there but I don't think they they should keep yr phone awake @ 50%.
I am always checking wakelocks especially after trying new apps and stuff. Luckily I've never experienced these problems with google apps and services but now I am. Thx

That's cool what kernel are you using?
Hey guys,
Recently my 3T has started lagging bad at random points in the day... It would be working fine one moment and the notification pull down would start lagging, then the rest of the UI would start lagging too, and then the phone would get really hot and my battery would start draining fast. Here is my usage. I also have franco kernel #32 flashed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I need this phone for work.
Cheers
Do you have root?
Are you using social apps like Facebook, Instagram etc?
Also, install Betterbatterystats and post the Alarms info after a few hours of use.

I have a feeling it the issue might be the systemUI pocket sensor, since whenever this random drain occurs systemUI goes to the top of the battery list. Here are more pics
In general your battery drain is quite normal.
3.2%/ hour is not bad for 12 hours use.

Then why is systemui at the top of the usage list? I never this seen a week ago, and it would cause my phone to get uncomfortably hot. My phone would also start to lag, which I dont think is normal. This only happens when systemui is at the top. My standby time is great due to Franco kernel, its just when my screen is on is when the drain starts.

Does this still happen after a restart?
I use Naptime and AKT profiles for excellent standby.

No, after I restart the phone the lag goes away, but systemui still has a decent amount of usage and I can't detect with betterbatterystats (If you can, I am unable to read the stats I gave a screenshot of)
Here are my recent usage stats this cycle.
I have substratum with some themes and joneplus tools installed, could that be it?
EDIT: ignore the laptop picture, my bad.
Hi guys, has anyone else been experiencing poor battery life in the stock note 8 oreo rom? I've factory reset, switched off AOD etc. Same apps installed as when it was on nougat.
Thanks
Mine is doing the same. I reckon it will take a week or two to level out

i agree mine used to do that on nougat
I also have terrible battery life.
I've switched AOD off, as well as the weird Gallery settings (like Image Analysis etc), but it's still losing 30% battery while sitting idly for 3 hours.
I hope it does level out soon enough.

Maybe some of those apps aren't as optimized for Oreo yet. In any case, let it settle for a while after a major update like Oreo. I got over 5 SOT with my regular usage (27 hours runtime) on my first full charge after updating. Not bad, but it will improve a bit from there on my next 1-2 charges and hit 6 hours SOT like before.
I recommend you install betterbatterystats, give it permissions through adb, and let it run. Post some screenshots from the summary, kernel wakelocks, and partial wakelocks tabs. It'd make it easier to pin down the issues.
Okay guys, so it is the third/fourth day now and battery life has gotten better. This morning I did wake up to a bixby update, so maybe that was the issue? Anyways hopefully the battery life stays like this ongoing.
As soon as OEM unlock comes up I'm flashing a custom ROM ;P
