Battery sucks! - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I have several forums with recommendation on how to fix my Android system and OS battery drain. Nothing has worked. It got so bad that I bought a Pixel 2, but not impressed so I'm returning it. I'm rooted with stock OS, just installed Elemental kernel, but still nothing has helped. Can anyone point me in the right direction??
See attached screenshot

Have u tried any of the tips of this guide?

Some or all of them can help for sure

Keep wifi on during sleep -> off
Location scanning -> off

How can you not be impressed with a Pixel 2? It's only downside is the screen, and that's only for the XL. Mind elaborating what your issues with it are? Because my father is planning to get it, and he asked me to check on it.
Onto your original question, have you tried installing an app like Accubattery to check your draining areas?
Try checking your wakelocks, they may be causing an issue too.
Install OOS from a fresh start, wipe your internal and data if you can, from the cleanest flash you can do, and then monitor your battery life. Don't forget to check your battery health too, because some people overlook it.
Try the newest Open Beta, users say there's better battery life on it.
Cheers!

IDK. Pixel just too small I guess. Software was good. Just wasn't impressed enough to justify keeping over the 3t. Maybe if I was priced similarly to the previous Nexus phones.
Anyway I have tried all your suggestions. Wakelock detector hasn't worked on Nougat since I've had it. BBS doesn't really say what the issues are either other than Android system and OS. I think 4.1.3 was the last version that was good on battery for me, since then been terrible. Amplify didn't work with Xposed either. I want to rule out software issues before looking into replacing the battery.

This is different set of kernel settings to improve performance or battery life or have a balanced setting. I am using it with Boeffla kernel, OOS 4.1.6, with CPU governor set to impulse and touchboost disabled (with the Boeffla app). Kernel Auditor is also installed with init.d emulation enabled and used KAT with the "Project X.A.N.A Extrem Battery" profile. So far I could not find any disadvantage an battery life seems to be slightly better...
Just one more comment... The download link in the forum takes you to the 1.2 version, which is not the final 1.6 that the name of the link suggest, so you should go to the old versions/flashable zips and download 1.6 from there...

Try magisk module "enable Doze for GMS". That helped me a lot.
Or try sultan's rom it has very good battery life.

I installed Amplify, seems to be minimizing wakelock. But battery drain when using phone continues. I think I'm just going to replace the battery.

Upload here some statistics after a few hours of use from Betterbatterystats.

Here are some screenshots. Also included battery from settings. Wakelock minimized, but Android system very high in comparison. I ordered new battery should have next week. New Beta 17 released, maybe that will improve it too. Bte I'm using AKT profiles and using XANA profile.

Take a look at how long you had the wifi turned on in relation to your screen on time.
Wifi is keeping your phone awake when it shouldn't.
Settings, wifi settings, advanced thing, then "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" -> only when plugged in or off
Settings, location, 3 dot menu, and turn both scanning options off. Problem solved.
Be careful about Google Maps, because it prompts you to turn the latter 2 option back on when launching it. Say no.

Whoa. Something is keeping your phone up far too long.

This is what my sleep looks like and that's with 4G and WiFi always on...

try a custom rom that is more focused on stable performance and battery life such as lineage. You can further improve ur battery by adding gmsdoze magisk modules and greenify4magisk
im surprised that ur not impressed by the pixel though....

We need the analysis from the Android category in Alarms tab.
Inside there are some alarms that can create an issue.

I flashed the Beta 17. We'll see how it goes. If I have to downgrade I post a screenshot of my alarms in Android system.

Battery Drain?

Recently my nexus 6 has been having pretty poor battery life. It estimates about 5 hours left on a full charge when before I would have close to double that. Im running franco kernel r25 on stock android 5.1 build LMY47I. I've heard the new google play services update could be a problem too.. which is version 7.0.99 if that helps. Please, any help would be great. Thanks!

an app. its called wakelock detector
There are lots of settings but wakeloc detector will tell you real quick what's going on. After that we can go from there. Also you might update to Franco's test build r26, its a couple pages back in his thread. I think it fixed a few wake issues.

franco himself said that build would not effect wakelocks in anyway. It just modified the idle loop in the cpu scheduler to allow the cpu to idle easier.

I thought I had seen the opposite posted in his thread. Could be wrong though.
just copy and pasted his post. At least thats what I got from this post.
"If you wanna test a new feature of r26 which is a patch from upstream that instantly idles (idle is not offline, it's a shallow power state when there no jobs running on the core to preserve energy) if a core is running with <= 1 job instead of going through a idle_balance() loop which goes on to decide if the core should or shouldn't enter idle, and it's not cheap. With this patch it also reduces the overall load_average since it reduces idle_balance() calls by 75%. In theory it should improve battery life. boot.img attached
I don't have numbers, but I sent the patch to imoseyon and he's already testing it. With your help we'll get some pretty numbers soon. This is completely agnostic of wakelocks, so if you have them, you're on your own, like you always are."
This is what you want see in wakeloc detector. As close to 0% as you can get. Just find out what's running/waking up and start working on stopping those.
Wakelock Detector is great but I honestly like Better Battery Stats better myself. Look for the XDA version on here, it's free

I know a ton of people love gsam, but whenever I've tried using it, it just gave me that bloated app feeling. If it works for you that's all that matters.
I use gsam also just to check how things are running. Greenify once wakeloc detector tells me what's going on.
I downloaded an app called battery doctor and that has helped a lot. Going on 31 hours with moderate use
But google play services is one of the things draining the most of my battery.

			
				
I too feel like I'm struggling to get passed 1 day with really hardly any use. My phone sits on my desk most of the day and I peek at it if it goes off. Most of the time when I do get a notification, I check my gmail on the PC, as well my messages via Verizon Messages (though I still use Hangouts on the phone). It never fails by the time I get home, I'm usually around 40% battery and I feel like I've hardly touched the device all day.
I've download WLD which I've used on previous devices so hopefully I can post back after today and see what's draining my battery.

[Guide] Improve battery life on marshmallow without any compromise on performance.

ya like many of you, even i had mixed experiences with battery life after marshmallow update. With doze being the new feature in M, battery drop during standby time was almost 0-1%. However, every now and then my phone refused to doze and would stay always awake. After testing several kernels with various governors and different battery saving techniques, i think, i might have hit the sweet spot (max battery life with ultimate performance).
Here's my settings..
1. Kernel : CODY Kernel 3.10.90
Governor : Performance
io scheduler : cfq (1024)
the kernel can be found here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63345022&postcount=32
Please Hit thanks to the developer.:good::good:
2. Install Doze settings editor app
It can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-doze-settings-editor-android-t3235130
after installing the app use the settings that i have posted in screenshot
Please Hit thanks to the developer of doze settings app.:good::good:
3. Optional(Install Greenify only to hibernate rarely used apps)
I got 4hr of Screen on time (average), you could get even more if you change governor settings. But for me performance matters the most so i am using performance governor which keeps cpu freq always to 1300MHz.
Please hit thanks if it helps you in any way, its the least u can do. :good::good:
If anyone has any better tips then please contribute (Be together, not the same)
Xposed is now working for MM so we can get more battery life with amplify installed.
trying and testing all the tweaks takes lots of time and people dont even press thanks , hence i wont write long post with details explaining all the tweaks
All i can say is that i am getting almost 5 hrs of Screen on time.

Yeah everything is fine without google but some apps keep annoying by asking to enable play services
i verified this technique and sure it gives alot of backup than ever before. As i was facing serious draining issues(50-60% battery drain overnight while nothing was done with the phone) this method now makes my sparkle v last a whole day with 20-25% battery left at 8 pm. I also identified that mediaserver, mtkrild and logd were constantly eating my cpu when idle and drained 60-70% battery. After flashing Cody kernel, everything seems to be working fine. Fingers crossed for now...
But the miscellaneous is still too high compared to lollipop where it would be around 20-30%. That is the main power consumer in marshmallow where it takes up almost double the amount. Any way to stop that?

Miscellaneous battery drain is just unaccounted drain. Just change ro.build.type=user.
If u change ro.build.type to userdebug only then u can see miscellaneous drain (its actually hidden).

More battery drain when using sd card as internal storage
I am experiencing even more battery drain if I use SD card as internal storage (Android 6.0 "adoptable storage" feature. It is draining too fast even with battery saver turned on. If I reboot into safe mode, the drain is considerably slower (but still much faster than lollipop).
Can anyone verify this? I think the main problem is with the doze and the screen stays awake all the time.
BTW, In this Guide first two option requires root which requires zeus kernel according to the other guides posted here. So that mean for Android 6.1.1 I have to revert to stock rom.
on my phone, "mtkrild" and "logd" constantly runs in the background which drains almost 60-70% of my battery. Any ways to solve it?

Battery Life and Wakelocks

Hi guys,
so i newly setup my phone recently with OOS 4.0.3 in order to have a clean phone for the most efficient use.
For my surprise, for the first time using the 3T my energy efficiency was very good, i managed to get 4,5h SOT with the first 50% because i had almost no drain when the screen was turned off.
I attached the screenshots.
Basically, i just flashed OOS 4.0.3 and the newest franco kernel and magisk for root. I didnt use greenify (which i usually do), just the strict standby option in the android settings.
So far so good, but now to the part i cant understand.
I installed gsam battery monitor and gave it root access, so i can have detailed battery information.
From that point, i experienced again the standby drain combined with wakelooks, as u can see in the screenshot starting around 60% of the battery.
So far i uninstalled the app, i used greenify, but i cant get back when i had no wakelocks.
Is it really because of Gsam Battery? How can get away the standby drain without setting up the phone completely new?
PS: I also deactivated some of the access rights of apps, especially for play services.
Is it possible that they regain the access by themselves or that google play services is draining the battery

Don't deactivate app rights of play services. It would break the functionality randomly and u won't know what happened. Just enable and reboot. Next time something happens, check the stat in gsam battery monitor. It's a good app and I am using it from 3 years.
It's not gsam I've had it installed on every phone for years and I always get amazing battery life.
I dont use google apps at all besides gmail and maps sometimes. But ill try around if it makes a difference.
I also cant believe that GSAM really is the problem there, but i didnt change anything else, i was just surprised of the good battery life and wanted to see the characteristics of battery statistics when i have a normal standby drain.
And immediatelly from that point on, the standby drain changed as u can see on the screenshots, even after uninstalling GSAM.
I now get 2h SOT with 50%, not 4,5.
So, is it possible that anything influencing that is changing by itself?
I didnt install any app or changed any setting, all i use was setted up in the beginning (franco, magisk, viper, all apps)
Yes google play store and google play services if you downloaded it and installed it that way? Google ruins battery life very randomly. If you restored a titanium backup or sideloaded the app then I have no clue. Even if you didnt do anything different there are a ton of things that can go wrong with android in the background. Recharge and reboot and start over.

I just now wiped also system and dirty flashed the ROM + the stuff i need. Ill see it that solves the deal.
I just cant accept to not have the control over my phone as thats one of the advantages of rooting. I got the same battery life with same usage with my 2,5 year old OnePlus One.
I run the same apps on every phone and this phone has doubled the performance and battery compared to my nexus 6 note 5 and nexus 6p. First phone I've owned that actually sleeps when I turn off the screen.

I found 4.0.3 would get wakelocks from location service. I have installed firmware from OOS 3.5.4 and used Leandroid, since then I've had my old battery life back.

Some parts of it only work with SuperSU, sure. The important bit that fixes the MRa big does unfortunately.
Not found a magisk equivalent, but I'm eager to find one!
I just recently got my 3T two weeks ago running OOS 4.0.3 and I also notice a lot of wakelocks, especially when on mobile data (3G/4G).
I am still tinkering to figure out what are the root causes for wakelocks in this case.
I suggest you install BetterBatteryStats from XDA, it does provide a lot of good info. GSAM is good too but I prefer BBS. You can grant it permissions to Battery_Stats if you are not rooted.
Here are my findings so far:
Google Services likes to access the GPS a lot, so I turned of Location History. This resulted in fewer wakelocks when the screen is off.
I have changed the GPS and set it to GPS Only so that it doesn't use the cell towers and WiFi to help determine a location. I am not sure if this makes a difference for wakelocks yet.
I know Nougat has doze, I am not sure how well it works...fortunately there is Aggressive Doze in the battery section of the settings. I have not tested this yet but this is something I will look into once I have determined all others aspects that may be causing wakelocks.
I do have the LED notification light enabled and I am using LightFlow to manage it. It works in conjunction with the built-in LED settings from OOS. This is fine, but I do believe this may cause wakelock issues.
Once again, in my experience, I get a lot of wakelocks when I am on mobile data compared to being on WiFi and I am not sure why there is a difference.

Paranoid Android ROM battery life issue

I'm new to posting on XDA so I apologise if i posted this thread in the wrong section.
I've flash the ROM with nano Gapps about 2 weeks ago and been clearing cache over time and i still can't get above 4 hours SOT. I personally use a dark theme (substratum) throughout my apps and system apps, Bluetooth and NFC are always disabled and location is set to battery saving. I can't find the app which is hogging my battery. FYI, I rock a similar setup on oos 4.5 and easily it lasts 6 hours of SOT. However, i do think its the Snapchat application but it's an important app to me. Any suggestions ?

If you could include a few more details such as your kernel (if you've flashed one) or PA version, whether you're coming from a clean/dirty flash and other additional information, that'd be great, so the community could address your issue better.
Also, you may want to check wakelocks and battery health (NOTE: not Battery Life, Battery Health).
If you're on PA, you may want to revert to OOS 4.1.X, and check your battery life and SOT.
Snapchat is a universally known app that has its' fame for being battery heavy, so if it shows up as a heavy battery user, that's because it is. The reason is, because it has heavy use on the Camera, GPU and mobile network or wifi.
Cheers.

I've not flashed any kernel or any other ROMs before and I clean flashed PA 7.3 which is the latest version available. I've also flashed arter97's F2FS boot.img. Wakelock details are provided in the screenshot attachment as well as the battery health condition data provided by Ampere.
I've not had any issues with Snapchat on OOS though :/
Note that I didn't greenify it too.
Edit: I'm having difficulties to post the screenshot

Ok

Naptime, Greenify, Aggressive Doze or none?

Hi, what are you using to increase your battery life? I have never used such an apps (only doze of course) but now with Oreo I have quite an idle battery drain so wanted to try something.
What do you recommend and what do you use?
Naptime? Naptime with franco kernel? Grenify? Naptime+Grenify? Naptime+Grenify+aggressive doze? Since some time Greenify has similar options to Naptime but what I read naptime works better? Is there any advantage of using paid versions?
None, those apps are useless.
If your ROM has it, use Privacy Guard. That's all.
I have also replied to you at the other topic that you were asking something similar.
I am using Doze+Boeffla kernel+Akt profiles+Naptime.
Maybe it's an overkill, but it allows me to have almost 0% consumption during night.

do you have aggressive doze on?
What AKT profiles are you using and how? You just install their APK and select what you want? And of course for that you need root, right?
I've literally tested on Oreo using without any that kind of apps, vs using it, and actually, i found out that it didn't really do any noticable difference. So on oreo i feel its quite unneccessary.

I would use a wakeblocker. NOS has one built in.
https://github.com/MrLast98/scripts/blob/master/Wakelocks.txt
Those are the wakelocks I block. It gives me about 5 hours SOT vs 3.5. Don't have to charge for 2-3 days, granted I use my phone much less than other people.

I meant the wakeblocker that is built in with Nitrogen OS 8.1. Thats a list of wakelocks to block.

Oh. Well i use OOS so it's not really workable then.
Anyway, i get 5.5h SOT with stock OOS anyway also so i don't really feel the need of any bogus greenfify, naptime

Nothing special.
All defaults.
At AKT the extreme battery profile is on.

I use ForceDoze. The only reason I need it is that it works around the Mobile Radio Active bug. If you do not experience this bug, you don't need these apps.
I use L-Speed's aggresive doze + AKT Nameless Battery profile
7-8h SOT
for the AKT profiles do you need to have root? As I see it works even on stock kernel.
My SOT is terrible, from morning til evening I can get it fine, but I sometimes I need my phone for 2 days without charging and then it is a problem. My idle drain is quite high.. and it is mostly from the system or something.

Yes u need root.for AKT.profiles.
And it's not an easy task to spend 2 days.without charging.
Get a Power Bank in this case.

I have a problem with wifi or overall internet connection. You can see in the graph that when I had wifi off my idle usage was almost zero, and the next night it dropped 10%. I don't really have weird wakelocks or apps running, it's phone idle, android system and android OS

If you don't use battery hungry apps like snapchat or whatsapp you should clean flash your rom

No the only social app I have is messenger lite, no snap chat, Facebook and other stuff like this. Mostly notifications comes from Gmail only.
I did clean flash once already, same stuff

Disable "WiFi scanning on all the time" under WiFi settings. Your WiFi does not shut down in idle Mode.
scanning is OFF but wifi during sleep is ON, without this I will not get notifications after some idle time during the day
