Hi guys, I know there's a lot of battery related threads lately, but I've not been able to find a solution or explanation for my problems.
So last night I put my phone on charge around 10pm and went to sleep, I got up to go for a whizz during the night and saw that the light was green, approx 2.30am, so I disconnected the charger and left the phone on my desk and went back to sleep.
When I got up this morning I was quite surprised to see that my battery was down to 38%. This is the problem I've been having lately, rogue battery loss. I leave my "wi-fi on during sleep" set to never, and I believe the network was on 2g only (o2 UK), I'm running the Viper rom, with Nova Launcher and the Faux Kernel, not o/c or anything.
This is not the first time it's happened, so my question is, from looking at the screenshots, can anybody see an obvious culprit for the drain?
Thanks in advance.
Yeahp it's quite obvious that it's the android OS ... Some app is causing it to be awake ...

Yea I gathered that much, but what's the best way of narrowing it down? I've noticed in some other threads the guys have been asking for screenshots from better battery stats to help identify the problem. Did you see anything in what I posted?
try full a wipe of your system and then see the result.
If its working fine then install app one by one and see which app is causing the problem?

Hi
I have received the Find 7a . Tho only issue I have with that is the huge battery drain when off ( even with data and wifi off )
Therefore I want to create a thread where we can share the solutions for this battery drain issue.
PS: I am running ColorOS 2.0 beta
cheers
me
I dont understand why people keep complaining about the battery. I use my 7a a lot and the battery lasts me just fine and I have Wi-Fi and GPS always on.

It's a known issue, I'm actually in a pilot group with a product manager and developer using a new firmware based on 1.2 that seems to help.
In the meantime, change the lockscreen from Colorlock as that has been known to hold a wakelock and disable Google's location services.
After I did that on 1.2 or 2.0 beta my drain shot down to .5%/hr.
I too am part of said pilot group that Sean mentioned and can confirm that a more battery saving firmware is in the works.
Give oppo some time to work the issue out, it's starting to look better.

yep, that do the trick. Also I rooted, and froze some crappy apps like Oppo Launcher ..etc. Fully charged before bed time, and I woke up still 100%
thank you !

Freezing applications/disabling them is basically the same as removing them, except that they still take up space on the system. You can freeze applications using Titanium Backup as you said and if you have root of course. If you want to completely remove the applications you should get a file explorer that can request root permissions, then look for the applications you want to remove, these can usually be found in "/system/app/" or "/system/priv-app/". You can also remove them using adb, this is a little more complicated though, if you want to do it this way I'd recommend you to Google it. Be careful when removing files from the system though, as you may run into some weird situations, you can always make a backup of course. (when restoring back-upped files, remember to set the correct permissions)
enabling google location services do not have impact on standby battery drain, seems changing the lock screen and freezing default launcher (I use Nova) helped

I'm on 2.0 beta, changing that to Revolving lock and disabling Google's location services (gimps the phone a bit sure but easy to enable and gps is still fine) and my drain is down to .6%/hr. Not too shabby, and will be testing tonight with location back on.
have been using the find 7a for nearly a week now. all i can say is...be patient, people! the first 2 days i had it, the battery drain is unbearable(8~12hr use and it's gone), but after 3~4 full cycle charged (start charging when below 10% then fully charged using 'battery doctor'), from the 4th day, the battery is amazing, easily get past 24 hours of use with data and wifi always on, screen on time 3 hours+ no problem. my current used time: 34 hr 26 m, with screen on 2 hr 7m, battery still 33%. Google location service is on all the time, Google now is off all the time. GPS off most of the time. running color OS 2.0 beta.
so be patient and charge your battery for few full cycles.
i hope this may help you guys.
Even Oppo has publicly stated the massive battery drain is a known issue affecting all Find 7a phones sold to date so I'm thinking denying there is an issue is a bit silly at this point. Also 2 hours screen time with 33% remaining is a terrible performance that sits at approximately half of what this phones current competition is offering.
Having has this from day one I would also point out that one of the problems associated with this is the inconsistency. I normally will see around 15 percent drain overnight but occasionally its as little as 5 or as high as 70. The problematic part comes in when you figure I've spent most nights testing some new scheme to see if I've made any improvements to the standy life.
Nor do I think its a good idea to accept excuses. On my N5 I never turned anything off, bluetooth, wifi, google now, location, etc. All on all the time and never had a problem getting 4 hours of screen time and never used more than 5% over night. That would of course make it nothing special since I haven't owned a phone since back somewhere around the sgs2 that couldn't do the same thing and there have been lots of phones between here and there. You shouldn't have to turn the phones features off to get the phone to work, being forced to means you are getting a sub industry standard experience. Calling it anything else is a lie.
Hello, new to the forums here. I recently updated to 4.4.2 on my LG Optimus G Pro and I went from having a battery that lasted all day, sometimes two days to my phone being dead by the time I get home from work for the day ever since the update.
Two days ago I had 1hr18min of screen time within a 6 hours off the charger and the phone was at 15% battery life left. Today, I had 13 minutes of on screen time and at the end of my 6 hour shift my phone was at 40% and dead a few hours after I got home. I have GPS, bluetooth, NFS all disabled and my brightness set to 30%.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm thinking of doing a factory reset and just not updating to the new version of android when it prompts.
Thanks

Get betterbatterystats and see if you phone deep sleeps. If not then check what the wakelocks are in partial wakelocks. If it's a kernel problem maybe you need to flash a different kernel.

i am running stock phone. it is not rooted or anything
Same exact battery drain problem. Im on stock e980 rom (rooted) with no custom kernel.
Gsam battery monitor app is showing the kernel as keeping my phone wake for the entire time my phone has been unplugged.
The problem seems to come and go though. One day itll be fine, but another day the battery will be sucked dry fast.

I've done this twice in the past 3 days....
I'm sick of having to set up my phone over and over again. And this is a new phone too. I just got it Monday under warranty because my old phone broke.
It's getting annoying. I used to get 14-17hrs+ of battery life (casual use, usually ending the day at 30-50% too, so I never even reached 0%) with my old phone on Jelly Bean. Now with Kitkat, I get around 6 hours if I'm lucky! According to Wakelock detector, my phone is awake 85%+ of the day! All it points to is Kernel (Android OS). I see lots of Wlan_wake triggers too, so I suspect wifi, but even with wifi off, the drainage still occurs. And I only have a 2GB data plan shared between 3 people, so it's not like I can just use data all the time either. I actually NEED wifi.

do you have an SD card installed? Maybe you can try to remove that and get rid of all other media from your phone storage. Might be a media scanner problem? Or maybe you can try to disable auto sync, and check if Google play services is the culprit.

The media scanner usually shows up in the battery stats window though, and it isn't. I've had a corrupted SD card on my tablet once before and it caused media scanner to go berserk, but the Mediascanner entry appeared under Settings>Battery as the highest battery consumer.
In this case of my phone right now, it is Android OS in Settings>Battery. According to Wakelock detector, GSam, and BetterBatteryStats, it's more specifically Kernel.

Have you tried reflashing your firmware, instead of just doing a factory reset?
I assume you are rooted since you are using BBS and wake lock detector on KK. Why not flash a custom rom?

Hi i had the same problem as you but i started digging inside the system of the phone i found the problem but you will require root access. If you have root you have to delet a lib file tand it carrier iq wich run in background and drains your battery the file to delete is libiq_client.so do that and you will see an increase in battery life

I did this on Tuesday or Wednesday.
... I messed something up on my phone while trying to install a custom recovery, so I was basically forced to reinstall everything. I'm on stock ATT e980 ROM (on an E980) + root. I reflashed the Jelly Bean tot file and then did the OTA update with no apps installed.
On the phone that got warrantied, I had flashed the E980 kitkat backup (now has a flashable version too), and the battery life seemed to be much better on it for about a week, and then the issues started there too.
I just rebooted the phone into recovery and wiped cache and Dalvik cache. Many people on Kitkat are reporting that this helps, but only for about 2 days then the issue returns. Obviously, I want a permanent solution.

Yes, I'm rooted and I absolutely hate custom roms. They take out all the features of the phone that I originally bought the phone for, like Smart Screen, the IR remote (yes, I know it can be ported), and the quick memo button. Plus I used custom ROMs on my old SGS2 and they always caused me tons of problems. Crashes, overheating, random reboots, random SODs, etc etc etc. Plus I hate the AOSP feel. I know it's true Android, but I just don;t like it.

I'm still getting more than usual battery drain, but it is better now.
I just got a replacement OEM LG battery, so I will try that to see if maybe the battery is defective. When I got my phone replaced under warranty, they didn't have batteries in stock, so they just gave me back my old one and ordered me a knew one. The old phone was overheating a lot too, so maybe the battery is bad.
UPDATE: OK, MUUUUUUUUUCH better battery now!
I put in that new battery and "recalibrated" it by draining it to 0% and charging with the power off. Once it reached 100%, I let it charge an extra hour, unplugged, and started up the phone.
I also installed Qualcomm Snapdragon's Battery Guru. I set it up so that it's mostly managing app syncing, but I also set it up so that it will not rely on location services to turn on/off my wifi. I don't want to leave my location services on all the time. I don't know how it is on Kitkat, but on older Android versions (ICS and GB), leaving GPS on was a huge battery drainer! I still treat location like it was back then.
Anyways, it will take a few days for the app to learn my usage patterns, but it's already helping by making certain apps only sync when I open them, etc. I suspect that all the wlan_wake wakelocks are being caused by auto-sync but I'm reluctant to turn it completely off since i rely on it to sync my work schedule, calendar, etc between my phone and tablet. I just wish there was a system setting to allow auto-sync to run every X hours or something. I really only need the sync to run every 6 hours or so.
It's been about 35mins now with 6mins of screen time and the phone is still at 100%. A few text messages and the installation of Battery Guru too. This is normal and how things used to be. After a while, the phone will most likely go to 99% and then have faster drain, but it shouldn't be so rapid like before. Earlier today, after 30mins, the battery would be at at least 95% or lower by now! After a full day, the battery usage graph would should a 45 degree angle too! It used to be an almost level, very gradual angle instead.
I should also mention that for a while, I was using a Zero Lemon slim battery (3150mAh). I bought it because of all the hype Zero Lemon was getting here on XDA, but I really regret it now. I used it for 2 weeks (1 week on my broken phone and 1 week on my replacement) and the drain wasn't consistent, even after several calibration attempts. It lasted me all day though, but I'd be stuck at maybe 3% for like an hour, then while in deep sleep, the battery would "magically charge" to 6%.
After I swapped back to the OEM battery, I don't think I recalibrated, so I wonder if my phone thought I was still using the Zero Lemon.
I'm planning to return the Zero Lemon.
UPDATE2: It's been a couple hours now and the Android OS is starting to retreat from the #1 slot in the battery consumption list!
Screen is #1 now and Android OS went from 65% usage to 14%! :good: :good:
UPDATE3: :crying: OK, it's broken again. I didn't do anything to the phone, but when the phone hit 50%, I left it alone for 2 hours and the battery drained 30% while it was supposed to be sleeping. Android OS is back up to 80% usage!
Wifi on, Location off, Bluetooth off, auto-sync on. I'm trying auto-sync off today to see if there's any dramatic improvement.
UPDATE4: I might be on to something now. I noticed 2 things: 1st, when the screen is off and the phone is SUPPOSED to be in deep sleep, the back of the phone stays warm to the touch. It wasn't hot, but it was warm enough to be noticeable. 2nd, I had System Tuner installed yesterday but uninstalled it this morning. Despite uninstalling and rebooting, the phone was still draining battery fast (I still lost 25% in 2 hours today!). I noticed that System Tuner had added a script to System/etc/init.d, so I deleted that and rebooted. Now the phone seems to be sleeping (says so in BetterBatteryStats and WakeLockDetector), and the back of the phone is COLD to the touch when doing so. I took a shower today (I take fairly long showers too LOL), and then checked my email, and the battery life didn't decrease at all during that time while it was asleep.
Obviously, I need to test this throughout the day now, but this is definite progress, if not the solution.
Also, on my warrantied phone, when I had the Zero Lemon battery inserted, battery drain was high (battery's fault), so I installed System Tuner then too, trying to tweak the phone. After switching back to the stock battery, the drain remained, but most likely due to System Tuner's script.
Then when I got my replacement phone, I ALSO installed System Tuner and of course, I got battery drain issues! I factory reset, but did not install System Tuner, but the problem still remained. However, it probably remained because the reset doesn't remove system files, so this script was still in the init.d folder.
FINAL: I ended up flashing the stock ROM again (I used Eazy Kat 1.0 this time). My phone began bugging out on me. Random crashes here and there, mobile data randomly disappearing (no LTE/4G/3G at all), and worst of all, people were having difficulty hearing me during calls. Reflashing seems to have worked perfectly this time. *knock on wood*
FYI: The last flashes I did, I used .tot files to flash back to stock Jelly Bean and then updated to Kitkat via OTA.

I stumbled across this post and tried that fix. I'll check back in later to see what it does.
For some reason my M9 doesn't want to go into deep sleep much. Out of the 1 hour I have it off the charger, only 2 minutes were in deep sleep. I haven't used the phone at all in that 1 hour, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be sleeping.
Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks

I've used a very similar app. There are no wake locks. All it says is "Android OS" is using 100% of the screen off battery. Even in the normal HTC battery settings, android OS is using 100%. Thanks for the help though.
System Panel is neither similar nor showing you those funny wakelocks..
It thoroughly informs you about CPU usage last night..

Thanks, but all those apps are the same. They can only get a certain amount of info from the core system. There are apps that do the exact same thing for free, which is what I use.
As an update to my problem, rebooting the phone and clearing cache seemed to have solved the issue for now.

If you run out of ideas on how to fix this, I'd say get root, get Xposed, and get Power Nap. Pretty much blocks all wakelocks at night and I see like 1% drain the next morning.

Wait...xposed works on 64bit phones? Wow I've been missing out for nothing lol.
Yes, but make sure you use the xposed arm64 file.

Here's the zip you want xposed-sdk21-arm64.zip
And you also need the alpha installer.
Hello everyone,
initially I had great battery life on my P6P. I then later started to root, add a 2nd SIM card and installed more and more apps (the same ones I already had on my P4 XL).
I can't really say when deep sleep stopped working, but it does not work at the moment.
I am at the stock ROM and Kernel atm, but rooted.
Usually I would start BBS and figure out which wakelock is preventing me from going to deep sleep.
However, BBS doesn't seem to work on Android 12. So I tries GSAM Battery Monitor.
Attached are screenshots from 2 days with GSM Battery Monitor.
It can be seen that the device does not go to deep sleep at all.
The only way to get it into deep sleep atm, is to enable battery saver.
This causes a huge battery drain over a whole day.
This post will contain the screenshots from day #1.
The next post will contain the screenshots from day #2.
Can anyone tell me how to figure out which wakelock / which app / feature / whatever is preventing my phone from going into deep sleep?
Thanks in advance!
And this is day #2 with more detailed screenshots.
@Lughnasadh @RetroTech07 Maybe you can help me here? :S
Thanks!
I also just "Force stopped" pretty much everything under Settings -> All apps (user apps and the few system/google apps that are in the user apps list).
Still no deep sleep

BBS works.. sometimes. You need to stick with it and get the alarms tab to show stats. That should tell you what is keeping it awake. Kernel wakelocks are useless imo. Partial wakelocks and alarms and even network usage perhaps. I have it working but it's sketchy.

So you basically install it, grant it root, and then wait until somehow magically starts to show stats?

Factory reset and don't restore backup.

Ye well there must be a way to troubleshoot this.
Can't just always factory reset because something gets bugged?

Haha, no I don't have root. I just grant the permissions via adb. But "magically" is the key word actually. Here are a few screenshots from just now. The first 2 are pretty usual for a few of the stats but that changes. The second 2 are what I can sometimes get although that varies as well. Every other stat on the app is like the first two, not stats collected. That's what I mean by you have to stick with it. It will magically show randomly. lol Unfortunately, this round didn't show partial wakelocks which means a bunch to me. Tomorrow morning it will show.
Thanks.. I just flashed kirisakura kernel from @Freak07 since I believe that it also block some wakelocks which are enabled on stock kernel. Will try that tomorrow together with AccuBattery.
If that doesn't work, then I will try to get magic by BBS.

If your issue is caused by an app or service (which it sounds like it probably is) constantly running in the background flashing the kernel won't help at all.
Your best bet might be BBS, battery historian (you can take a bug report and then view it there, just google it) or maybe top command.

Well, for now it seems like your kernel fixed the issue though.
I am on 70% deep sleep while screen is off according to accubattery. So I will monitor this through the rest of this day and report back.

Flashing a kernel can't fix issues with apps or services getting stuck in the background.
I guess it was the reboot that helped in the end or whatever was stuck got updated or unstuck some other way.

Hmm really weird. My deep sleep is now also slowly dropping (only at 50% now).
But will see how it ends up after a working day.
I did try reboots before already. It didn't help.
But maybe so far I was working with a mix of several wakelocks which I can now narrow down.
Will try battery historian as recommend by you. Just need to find a decent guide for it first

Install better battery stats ( only kernel wakelocks tab is not working)...to check wakelocks and alarms
whats the differencd between doze and deep sleep? and is there a way in accubattery to find out, if the device is sleeping?

It didn't work for me at all and I just installed it and it still isn't working for me at all.
It has root and according to the permissions tab in the app everything seems to be granted.
I downloaded the RC 2.6-382 from here: https://install.appcenter.ms/users/...stats-xda-edition/distribution_groups/testers
I will let it run for a few hours and check again.
Edit: Oh I just noticed under the permissions tab:
STATUS: Failed: Transaction failed on small parcel; remote process probably died
Any ideas?

In Accubattery under "discharging" check for "deep sleep while screen off".

Working for me properly... besides kernel wakelocks
