Battery drain

So I am currently on 5.1.1 rooted with Franco kernel. Before updating to 5.1.1 I had 3h and 44 mins SOT and still 16% battery left. I read that flashing Franco kernel will help my battery but I am currently on 55% battery with 1h and 40 min of SOT. I have greenifyed all the battery draining apps like Facebook etc and I don't have any widgets expect Google keep. I have attached couple of pictures if someone could please look through them? I did several factory resets and still the same battery life. I am just browsing and watching YouTube videos. Now I only get 3hrs and 15 minutes before my phones dies
It's driving me nuts, I read that Franco kernel will help my battery life but it's still the same. I have around 40-50% screen brightness.

Have you done any modifications to your CPU or anything like that?
Profiles/governors etc.

No nothing. Just flashed Franco kernel free app so I can't adjust any governor

regardless what you were told, flashing kernels does not help battery. its your use and the quality of your signal that will determine your battery life. kernels might help you in saving battery, because they all change how the CPU works, but its up to you to save battery, not the kernel.

Yeah I read that you'll get better battery life with Franco but I don't know. Is there something unusual from my screenshots? Is there anything I can do? I mean I am using my phone as normal as possible and I even turned of lte and running only on 3g. I just want to know what the culprit is. I even removed viber but it's still the same issue

what percent brightness do you use? I keep mine at about 0-10% mostly, and average around 5.5h sot. if I raise my brightness to about 30-35%, I lose about an hour of sot. but really, its all about what you are doing with your phone. if you are a heavy gamer, you'll see much less sot because CPU intensive games will go through the battery quickly.

Your best shot is getting the full version of FK app and then controlling your CPU.

actually, 0-10% isn't that dark. if you set adaptive brighrnes, 0-10% will actually be darker. 0-10% is fine for me, unless out in the sun. but with 50% brightness, I'd say 3.5h sot is actually fine.

Really? I have 50% on all of my phones. I'll try 10% and see. Is activating the adaptive brightness good for battery life?
Just want to know really if my apps and system is behaving correctly. If it's the brightness that is the issue then it's a relief. But I read that everyone got better battery life with 5.1.1 except me :-/ I mean I have Bluetooth off, gps off, hepatic feedback and sounds etc all are off. Even Google now is off

no, adaptive brightness is bad for battery life.
and for the majority, battery life is exactly the same on 5.1.1, like before. as many people that claim better battery life, just as many, if not more, will say its the same, or worse.

Of course that it would help. I got 7h SOT with my old S3 running a custom kernel. But after all.. Try it out yourself

Yeah that might be hit or miss with every update. But I still feel like one should get better SOT even with like 40-50% screen brightness, I have all the big battery hogs turned off like GPS etc

I am running the kernel but it's not optimized and I don't know what the default settings for Franco kernel is. I thought I try the free version to see if I get better battery life but I feel like it's almost the same as stock kernel

first off, paying for the full app will give you what, more control of your CPU? do you know how to control tour CPU? if so, there are many FREE CPU control apps. learn what you are doing first, then buy the app. secondly, no one that uses 50% brightness gets great battery life. the screen uses the most battery, raising brightness to 50% will just let it use MORE battery.

I know that you can control your CPU, I've don't it before on my older android phones. I'll try the suggestions regarding the brightness

Ok so I downloaded Franco kernel the full version I will try it, what settings should I try for best battery life?

that, my friend, you have to find. considering that we all use our devices differently, you have to find what works for your device best. there isn't a magical setting for battery.

OK thanks mate, ill lurk around the forum and see what can be done :good:

Best or ideal kernel settings for best battery life with good performance?

The title explains it all—I'm wondering what the best kernel settings are to achieve the best battery life without completely dropping performance. I've never tweaked the kernel on any phone I've owned before, so I have no idea what those settings might be. I currently get around 5-6 hours of SOT, which is great for heavy usage but with a battery those huge we should expect way more.

I'm currently playing around with majorly under clocking the CPU (Currently testing at 1.2 GHz) and have yet to notice a difference in performance. I'll update with battery improvements if any arise.

im on zzmove with profile 6, run only 2 core at 2.4Ghz and every thing seem good
phone run cool and great in game(framerate still good and more stable since no throttling at all, before that with stock, my phone get hot and lag if i play asphat for long) not sure about battery yet but seem good

Try computerfreak ROM, i'm getting 77 hrs on battery and 6 SOT!

Oops just now noticed I had replies.
I'm currently running Resurrection Remix and I seem to be getting better battery life than I was on stock, which is odd; however, I wish to get more. Update me on those kernel settings.
Also I noticed that when I'm at school the cellular signal drains my battery considerably. The signal there is poor, is there any way I can minimize the drainage?

That's a ridiculously easy thing to do, I can't believe I didn't think of this. However, its rather inconvenient. Any other ways? I heard back in 4.4.4 that there was a way to disable certain bands or something to consume less power when you have bad signal.

Well i was on 4.4.4 was really bad didnt know how too fix it.. try to get greenify if ur rooted currently havent charged my phone in like 2 days its kinda hard too kill the battery sometimes

I'm on rr and honestly I'm not getting the best battery. Like 3.5 hour on screen time. It does still make it through the day though. I changed the kernel settings to conservative under cpu, which helped a lot from previously getting under 3.

Settings, configs, performance tuning, kernal tweaks, then in the app in the cpu tab, the cpu governor option. That's where I found it and I turned it down and I'm getting better battery.

That's odd. I get considerable better battery life on RR than I did on stock. I've hit 5.5 and even 6 hours of SOT with heavy to medium use (when I'm not at school at least).

Same here, but I noticed it lasts much longer with Greenify and Amplify installed with Xposed. I lose about 2-3% during standby mode during the night....whereas before I lost about 10-15% even while on RR.

Just got 7HR and 4 mins screen on time with in 2 days didnt use my phone at school only when i was at home so i guess 7hr's is good..
EDIT: i am on stock ROM

That sounds right about what stock should be getting for some users. It's good to reference stock with your personal use versus someone else.
1 hour of a playing a game with full brightness will use significantly more battery than an hour of book reading on night move although they both technically have the same screen on time.

I usually consistently got about 5 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time on stock with medium to heavy usage at school and at home.
On Resurrection Remix, I usually get 5 or sometimes 5 and a half or 6 hours, with heavy usage at home. On school days, I can only manage to get around 3, which I find incredibly odd. I chalk it up to the poor signal at my school draining my battery.

It definitely is decent, but with a battery this huge we should be getting way more. Especially since Moto and Verizon preached about 48hr battery life.

You can get 48 hrs on the Turbo. You can also get 5 hrs. Like I said before, it all depends on your personal usage. Perhaps they have a baseline test they do on every phone so there's no variable aside from battery.

the battery life

What really is up with Android phone and their battery life. This been bugging me for like forever and its 4:00 AM and i have to post.
Like my sister had s7 edge and just the general messenger apps IG, WhatsApp, telegram & Weechat. Rest are game for toddler. But all the time the phone been with her, her average SOT is like four hours and the BATTERY KEEPS ON DRAINING on Wi-Fi or Data and NEVER flats out. It only does when in airplane mode. Before you guys days uninstall the games, in the battery usage graph same with GSAMbattery, Android system is like up all the time. So it has to do with Android OS.
is Android really just like this? Do iPhones person better?
I have EXACTLY the same issue with my nexus 6 rooted. When my wifi is up, none stop drain and BBS doesn't show any unusual activity.
What going on guys?

With 4 hours screen on time that is about what you can expect. Mainly when using things like weechat which is notorious for uploading all it data over and over again to its servers in China. Then you have whatsapp which is done by facebook which are known for some of the worst coded apps for battery drain in the market.
Your biggest issue is the screen on time. $ hours is a bit ruff on a device. As the screen is the biggest thing to take up battery. Unlike the iphone which uses a less intense screen due to its lower quality res.

Bro, you should use an iPhone and see! It's much worse than Android. iPhone have less size batteries and you can hardly get through the entire day with one charge according to your usage. Although apple's implementation of background apps optimization is excellent, but still the battery life is less due to small batteries. I feel android is much better in terms of battery.

Totally agree.
You can add that android is still an open system which allows you to hard modify the system, apps behavior, etc.. So you can set your device especially for your daily use.
For example, the way I set my 2yo-phone gives me 8 to 10 hours SOT, which is faaaar from any Apple devices autonomy..

No it's really mostly just the screen being on. You can test this by setting the device screen to never time out and let it sit. You will notice that it kills the battery.

That is generic which means apps system api or systems the app uses. Like say the LG tones app. It uses the system BT api and if it drains the battery then all you see is BT at the top.

After years of trial with all sorts of applications to kill apps, battery /juice saves, my ultimate solution on Samsung alpha, 1800amph only battery is conjuction of Greenify, follow up with SD Maid. Alternate day.

I'd say that you either have a battery that is past it's useful life, or you have some serious wakelocks going on. 2-2.5 hours SOT is awful. I bought my device used 9 months ago and can easily average 6-8 hours SOT over the course of 48 hours on battery (on stock 7.0 unrooted). I'm only now seeing a lower SOT with this current update to Google Play Services. And even now I still get 5-6 hours SOT in 48 hours.

I know the reason for my bad battery life. It's my signal. Signal here is spotty and if you leave town you lose signal all together. So my device spends most of the day looking for a stronger signal. SOT really doesn't mean much to me.

Yeah I normally keep late off. It doesn't help really. Signal is just too spotty. You can bounce between 2g,3g and lte in 5 min and never move. Then you have the times when the military blocks all GPS and unless you heard the announcement and turned GPS off that would also kill your battery. Then like I said once you leave town you have no signal for hundreds of miles.

How is 6-8 hours sot possible over 48 hours? I've tried different kernels, lineage/CyanogenMod, Pure Nexus, greenify, and even tried down clocking the CPU to 1.2 GHz or less at all times (shockingly, in normal use I couldn't tell the difference lol). Never got that much screen on time. I'm not even sure airplane mode would do that. My best was around 45 hours, but with about 3 hours of screen on time. And that was with the phone being less than 3 months old.
Currently I'm on stock Android, and getting 20 hours at best with 3 hours sot. At this point, I will say my battery is shot since it is a year old. But I'd love to see your settings and see if I could get close.

Here are screenshots of my battery use from March. 3 days with 6.5 hours SOT. I keep my screen at a relative 20% or so (lower at night). I have very strong signal (major city) And I use wifi about 65-70% of the time. I also actively moderate my screen touches (yes, they do indeed matter). I turn off NFC and I don't use BT. I also actively purge misbehaving apps (I refuse to install some, like Facebook) Other than this, I can't really say. Perhaps, I just lucked out and got a cherry of a system (with the exception of my headphone jack not working with mics...Grrr... and my camera's image stabilization Causing blur at certain shutter speeds)

Official OnePlus 7 Pro battery thread

So what kind of battery is everyone getting. First day was getting horrible battery life and then this morning I remembered I never turned off WiFi and Bluetooth scanning. Once I did that battery had seemed to stabilize and seems much better.
When posting battery life please let us know whether your using 1080 P or 2K, and the refresh rate your running at. I'll update at the end of the day with my battery life.

Finally someone opened a separate thread for that d, not getting mine till early next week, looking forward to see others usage

Still at around 50% and about 3 hours SOT.
Light browsing, youtube, bunch of speed tests/emails etc.

Does as well, if not even better (after updates) than my 6T did. 90hz on and all.

One additional change from when I had the dark theme is that I disabled Ambient Display showing when phone is picked (It only shows when a new notification comes in)
Enabled Double tap to wake.

It is pretty easy to get numbers like the ones shown on the reddit thread.
I am pretty sure the person with the 10 Hours SOT did s quick top up at a around 40 or 50 % (And let the phone charge up to around 60 or 70)
That does not count as a full charge. And voila you get those impossible SOT numbers.
If someone with that kind of SOT does not also post a picture of the battery drain graph, dont believe them.

The person who's posted about the 10 hours sot did post screenshots and did not top off at all. Looked at the screenshots myself.

Not great, but here's mine with some moderate use

Ah, well if that is the case I am happy to be wrong about this.
Any ideas on how to get that kind of SOT while using the phone normally (Telegram, Whatsapp and other Social Media + Some youtube and games) ?
Thanks.

Got the phone today. I charged it to full, then started configuring everything. Heavy web browsing, set up about 30 apps, took 20 some odd photos, played around with every system setting I could find, and played 2 games for about an hour total. Oh, I use a persistent VPN 24/7, which tends to add to the data and battery drain as well.
Clearly, the battery is horrible.

Great phone but battery life is disappointing...
I wanted to upgrade but i think I'll stay on my 6
T

Hey guys,
This is what I'm getting on Day 2 after I set everything up yesterday and it had several hours to settle in.
I'm at home on WiFi, it's pretty dull here today so low screen brightness and I'm not a heavy user (in terms of not playing games or demanding apps).
I dark mode everything and used root to optimise everything I can too so that will have helped.
Need a little more time to figure out how Idle drain will perform but right now for my usage pattern, this is the same / or better than what my OP6 would give me in similar circumstances.
Sent from my OnePlus7Pro using XDA Labs

Don't understand bad reputation of OP7pro battery life...
Mine is way better than my OP6
Last firmware 9.5.4, charged it yesterday morning at 100%, dropped at 49% (3h50 SOT) when i went to sleep, moderate use, gps, bt, no games, all default settings, brightness at 50%
So it's a good 2 days battery for me

He wasn't talking about me, he was talking about someone that posted I think on Reddit that claimed to get 10+ hours sot with this phone. He apparently didn't see that they did post pictures as proof.

I'm on my first cycle and pretty satisfied with battery life.
These are the stats but keep in mind that I started with 90 %.
Always on 90 Hz, auto resolution, two SIM cards, only mobile internet. Brightness is on auto, I texted a lot, surfed, had some calls, instagram, Facebook etc.
I'll keep an eye on this but so far I can't complain!

ROG Battery life

Hi guys just bought the ROG phone 2 a week ago, just would like to know about the Battery life? I've done all the settings recommended by the battery optimization module suchs screen brightness and screen timeout etc. I also turned off my GPS but I noticed after sleeping for 9hours or so after leaving my phone idle the battery which was initially 90% dropped to 83%. Is that normal? Cause I've seen youtube claim u can game for 3 hours and the battery will only drop by 5%. Or is that only when u turn on xmode? Also I do leave my mobile data turned on but is that enough to drain the battery to this extend?

Good word! :exposition
Can't shed any light on your query, but can add, if have data/reception switched on, it will consume more or less depending on your signal strength as it searches for the strongest source. So it'll vary user to user.
If not informative... Oh well, at least, I had some input lol

Thanks any input is better than none at all. So it's relatively normal that my battery drains 8 - 10 percent when idle? It's because of the signal strength? It doesn't really bother me much but I would just like to make sure that's it's within the norm and not faulty battery or something

Doubt its a faulty battery. And no doubt there are more factors involved than only signal strength, but yeah,signal strength does play a part in it. It might not make too much difference while your at home ie in one place, but you're on the move as the phone goes in and out of stronger or weaker signal areas, the phone has to keep scanning for the best possible connection, which consumes more battery.
I haven't noticed a great deal of difference running latest A10 update (2004.60) compared to A9, but others favour A9 for better battery. Which version are you on? Some say latest A10 is on par with A9, others disagree. Each to their own!
Personally I don't monitor it religiously, so not sure what my percentage drop per hour or over a given time frame is, so I can't advise you on that.
Battery for me lasts about 2 days with some to spare and a fair amount of usage. I only play Bike Race, I'm not a hardcore gamer. That's good enough for me and similar to what it was on A9. Not too sure of screen on time
Edit: actually, just noticed my battery is at 11 percent, the screenshot should give you a fair idea of what to expect... Obviously, I varies on apps installed /in use too. There's probably more factors, not too sure

Thanks it does clear up some things and also I'm on A9 but u've mentioned battery lasts for 2days? Is your mobile data turned on? Frankly I've noticed my battery does tend to drop faster when mobile data is turned on so it might be as u've mentioned about mobile data and the signal strength. Although I don't really get out much since the entirety of the outside world looks straight outta fallout 4. But find it hard to believe the phone just drop 5 percent of battery after 3 hours of intensive gaming( according to youtube anyway ) considering it drops way below that point even when idle.

Yes, the signal strength from your mobile network operator does affect the battery consumption.. I've noticed this when I am at remote areas.. It's plausible for the 5% drop in battery during gaming if you have turned on the airplane mode..

I have been using the ROGPHONE 2 since January 2020. Only way the battery is draining faster than it should are 2 reasons.
1st is there is a defect.
2nd is weak cellular signal.

Yep, data, wifi and bluetooth all switched on with 120Hz screen and X-mode always on

Hopefully not the first point but the second makes sense since I am living in quite the rural area currently. May need to check back the signal strength once I'm back in the city.

Your issue is most likely one (or more) of a few things:
If you're on Android 10, which in my experience has battery drain and heating issues (that's why I downgraded to Android 9)
You have some frequent wakelocks that are keeping the phone awake and draining your battery (if you have root, or don't mind rooting, flash Kirisakura kernel and install EX Kernel Manager to see the top wakelocks)
You have apps in the background that are auto-starting and taking up network bandwidth, even when your phone is idle (check under Settings > Battery > PowerMaster > Auto-start manager and disable the apps which you don't rely on for constant notifications)
Hope that helps you.

Thanks for the input but I'm on Android 9 and I've also heard bout the links with Android 10. I am curious bout rooting it though

Rural area... City outskirts? Sounds fun. Stop playing with the phone. Enjoy life.
Only phone i have used before and doesn't seem to drain because of weak cellular signal is the Huawei P30 Pro. Then my current ROGPHONE 2... Owh wait you want to see weak cellular signal kill a phone really fast? Get a Note 10+.... Gets killed in 3 hours. Lmao.
