WTF was that? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

yesterday went to sleep with around 23% battery, turned wifi off, mobile data off, and when i woke up this morning, well, my phone was completely discharged, first time that happens to me, normally it would spend 2 or 3 % overnight, the other strange thing is that there were no wakelocks, but it seems that greenify drained my battery!

It happens. Sometimes apps meant to increase battery life do the opposite.

My guess is you greenified something you should not have and turning off WiFi and data made it go nuts.
First.... Check what your greenified apps are. If they aren't known battery hog apps, you probably shouldn't be greenifying them.
Second.... No need to turn off data or WiFi. WiFi on automatically firms off data, for starters.... And you should get good standby with WiFi on anyway.
See your graph.... As soon as you turned those off, your phone was held awake. Something really needed a connection, couldn't get it and kept your phone awake all night.
---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------
And in my opinion...the Turn off WiFi when screen is off option is not battery friendly either. That cause your phone to have to connect every time you turn on the screen. It does more harm than good. My WiFi is on 24/7 and I get 0.5 or less standby drain per hour.
Also, Greenify is not a battery drainer normally. But greenifying the wrong apps can certainly be.

[Q] Rapid Battery Life depletion during sleep

Hey XDA friends. I got the Verizon HTC One a few weeks ago and battery life started out fantastic. When I put away to go to sleep it only lost 7% all night with GPS on and wifi on and all that and I was astonished. However as time went on I found those results kept getting worse and worse until I was draining 30% in a night. I went and uninstalled battery guru and now I only drain 12% a night. Some nights however I still lose 20% in a night with sleep mode on. How do I check what keeps waking my phone up and draining my battery. I'm afraid this will affect my phone's battery in the long run. I will start disabling GPS at night but I wish I still had that 7% in a night. How do I check what is messing with my phone???

go to settings/power/usage. this will tell you which app is using the most of you battery. also you should never have gps on while youre sleeping. you might also want to turn off auto-sync and then re-enable it after you wake up. you can create a widget to do just that. if you need help with that, just let me know.
Turn data Wi-Fi and gps off lol.... You are asleep

Do you use blinkfeed, that will kill your battery pretty fast. Even if you don't think you are using it, go check and see if it's syncing anything in the settings. I thought mine was turned off, but then I logged into facebook (turned sync off in facebook), later I found that blinkfeed was syncing it anyway w/out my knowledge.

You can go into settings and make sure everything is unchecked. Mine had several checked by default and it was draining battery.

Update: Battery only drained 10% last night with GPS off, Blinkfeed never updates on its own and all social networks are checked off (I don't like my social networks on Blinkfeed) other than that though everything seems to be in check. If anyone else has anyway to improve that 10% let me know (by the way the 10% was drained during 9 hours of constant sleep I went from 77 to 67)

Really, 1% per hour on standby with cellular radios on is pretty acceptable. Depending on signal strength, the radio could be pulling that just to maintain a connection to the tower.
Thanks everyone!
With GPS off, Sleep mode on, and NO BATTERY HELPER APPS (Battery guru was diminishing my battery life) I got a record breaking (for me) 4% loss in battery life during my 8 hour night's sleep, not bad if I do say so myself, after that my battery has been a lot better. I wish Verizon would give us HTC's battery saving software back but let's not ask too much of Verizon or they might give us timely updates.

those battery saving apps are so pointless IMHO, it's just another app and if coded incorrectly will do exactly what it did to you, destroy your battery that is working fine. very happy you can now enjoy your phone the way was designed to be!

Hey..I had the same problem so...first download wakelock detector from play store..after installing jus use your phone like as usual..after 4 to 5 hrs or right before you charge your phone, open the wakelock app and check what's waking up your phone during sleep..for everyone it seems the battery is drained by Google services ..the main culprit being the location services.. so switch off the location services in settings..and also in Google maps, go into setting and then into Google location settings and make sure location reporting and location history are disabled, make sure they are unchecked.. that's it..restart the phone..fully charge it and test it out ..and DON'T use any battery saving apps ..and also uninstall wakelocker app after your battery life is back to normal..I'm an average user and I unplug around 9 in da morning and when I come home around 6, I still have 65% left..I don use facebook .. heard even facebook app is major battery drainer....you jus have to tweak and play with settings till you find your desired battery life expectancy cos everyone uses their phone differently..and we all have different apps so the main thing is to find out what's eating the phone battery most...I'm just pleased with my decision in picking HTC ONE over galaxy S4
similar problem here....google services is killing my battery (relatively). location is part of it, but google hangouts is also going crazy (watchdog alerts me to excessive usage....over 50%, but hangouts was at 100%)
i was spoiled on my g-nex, where i left wifi, bluetooth, and GPS on 24/7 and could easily go 24 hours. now i'm lucky to get 12 (with about 1 hour of screen on time).
I'm hoping things will sort out, device is only about a week old, but google optimized location usage (iirc) such that it isn't supposed to constantly ping and kill battery. we shall see, i guess.
I'm not sure what the problem could be but I'm just gonna say that yesterday I got around 18 hours of battery life with over 5 hours screen on time which I consider awesome battery life.
I'm stock, so it's definitely possible to get good battery life.
10 percent overnight? Thats not that great but not horrible. My dna is running carbon (android 4.3) I use tasker to turn off autosync and data/wifi and put it on silent at whatever set time I make it. My phone drains about 5 percent max overnight, usually a lot less.

you can turn off updates in facebook and its not bad, but yeah if you have autoupdate on, it can kill the battery.
as far as the OP, I don't get why you don't charge you phone while you are sleeping. Seems like the perfect time.
Turning GPS off shouldn't affect your battery life. If you're not using your phone, the phone isn't going to use the GPS for anything. So it shouldn't be using your battery. The culprit is usually an app that is wakelocking your phone. So you need to find which app it is that constantly wakes your phone from deep sleep. Turning off autosync would help a bit if you are really paranoid. The big thing that hurts our battery when the screen is off, is the LTE radio, but most people are connected to WiFi when they sleep so it's not a big deal.
Just an FYI, turning off GPS has been ineffective since 2.2 Froyo. When Gingerbread 2.3 was released like 2+ years ago, it allowed for the GPS to only be used when an app called for it to be used. Otherwise GPS will not do anything unless you pull up an app that calls it to do something.

[Q] battery problem

hi all
my htc one m8 battery is draining very fast
last time i called htc support for my issue (random reboots and also battery problems) they told me to clear cache and my device didnt start up but after charging it and getting some of the buttons for some seconds my battery worked well till now
im having battery draining issues again
what should i do about my problem?
Hi, have you tried something like Wakelock Detector from the play store?
This will show you if something is trying to wake your phone and wasting battery.
Maybe you have some rogue game or app thats trying to call home or is tuck in a loop on startup.
Also get Autostarts while you are there. you can see what is actually starting as you turn on the phone.
Could be you have a hardware problem but worth checking software first.
If all else fails, hard reset?
Sending back is the last thing you want to really.

If it's only started happening recently it would appear to be app related. Something is running in the background wasting battery.
I'd recommend something like autostarts, like the previous poster said, to check what's causing it.
If your phone's rooted, you can also use greenify to hibernate all apps that you don't want running in the background.
This is my battery status
See post 2 in this thread for general battery tips,
[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
Also, are you rooted? If so, get gsam root companion installed as well. Go from 100 to about 10 percent left and then do some gsam screen shots.
Especially, main screen. App screen. And from app screen drop down, times waking device and held awake time and kernel wake time.
Do you have a good signal whole not on wifi? A weak signal while on data is a killer and usually won't show in any battery stats.
?
---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------
Keep screen as dim as you can stand, manually. Check out "display brightness" from playstore store. Great app!
And turn location off! Completely off. For now anyway.
Well my device is completly stock and i dont have root
Yesterday i tried a way to calibrate battery and today i cleared chache.(this time phonr is fine ). I will post the result when phone is 10% again

[Q] My Sprint S6 get's terrible battery life

Now.. I'm on my phone a lot normally. I text, and use FB messenger, and a lot of Google Now. Because my phone battery dies so quickly, it sits plugged in a lot, and I don't use it nearly as much as I'd like to.
If I am using my phone a lot, I can take my phone from 100% to 15% 3 times in a day.
I factory reset recently, and just let my phone sit with nothing but Google Messenger and Facebook. It still dies from a full battery in ~4-5 hours, without me touching it. Thing is, all the battery stats show less than 5% usage. And there's no crazy crap like games, etc running. I can't figure out what's eating the battery.
I just put the phone in Airplane mode, and enabled Wifi. I'm getting all my emails, fb messages, gmail, google voice, so on. Battery only went down 30% in 28 hours. I turned off airplane mode (it's not connected to Sprint at the moment, I took it off the account), and I have an Airave...battery dropped 15% in about 30 minutes. Went back to airplane mode with Wifi on, and back to a really slow drain.
Right now, I'm planning on packing up my phone tomorrow and sending it to Samsung for a battery replacement. Because my standard 2A-5V can charge this phone from 10% to 100% in an hour...which isn't right. Not the original QC2.0 charger.
Update: I turned off airplane mode again, and the phone is steadily losing 10-12% battery an hour.. and there's nothing running. It's sitting face up on my coffee table.
What can I do to stop the battery bleed? It's completely stock, on the latest update from Sprint, with no root.
I got an RMA from Samsung to send it in for a battery replacement.
Attached are screenshots of my battery stats. It just makes no sense. Even after a factory reset, not everything using the battery is reporting to that page. The sharp drops in battery are from when the phone is not in Airplane mode (only wifi on)
I've got the same issue. No better than 7-8 hours of standby time. My cpu will also heat up to 160 degrees while running very basic apps.
Any guesses on what's wrong? What have you tried?
turn off:
mobile networks > Connection optimizer
wifi > always allow scanning
these worked for me. hope helps you too.

Yes this is a battery hog for sure shut off that Connection Optimizer, also I set my screen brightness to auto (little check box after the slider) and I noticed a big difference in battery life, I use to crank up the brightness and battery would drain fast, I been on 2 days now at 79% battery..... also not sure but I shut off notifications everywhere too, I don't need facebook telling me everytime a monkey posts on another monkeys wall every 2 minutes, that helps on battery drain as well.
ditto.
This has gotten much worse since I updated to 0I1 rooted with unikernal v9
Also for some reason now... even though both the connections optimizer and wifi scanning turned 'off'-- wifi still keeps randomly turning itself "on" frequently. That with the incredibly poor battery and overheating is frustrating.
Good for you
I had the smart connection optimizer, and wifi scanning off. I also have the wifi location scanning thing turned off.
None of that helps.
My phone is on it's way back to Samsung right now to have a new battery installed.
At this point, I'm pretty sure it's faulty hardware.

Overnight Battery Drain

I have stock rom 3.2.7, rooted, xposed installed. I use Greenify and hibernated all apps except whatsapp and also cleared recent apps before going off to sleep. I had 23% battery when i went off to sleep at 00:30. When i woke up at 06:30 my phone was switched off. When i tried to switch jt on it said charge a little before switching it on in red letters. I fail to understand reason for drain, during daytime i get satisfactory battery life. Please help/advise.
Oxygen OS have had standby battery drain issues from the very beginning. The fault is not with the settings or with any of the apps installed.
Try a custom ROM if you want better standby life, like Sultan's CM13 or AOKP.
It happened same to me last night for first time (I have OP3 from june). I fully charged phone at 23:00, went to sleep. When I woke up at 6:00, phone was warm and switched off.
Did u turn on Doze in Developers options? That might explains it.
Settings > Backup > disable Google backup. Massive battery drainer.
If you dont use Google now, disable it. (I haven't and I still get only 5-6% drain overnight)
Any Bluetooth devices syncing overnight? I have found MiBand and MiFit app to be massive drainers.
Location services: if using Google Now, turn to device only, otherwise disable
Also disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning from location settings.
Make sure greenify is actually working. Using the broom icon to clear recents app will stop greenify, unless it is locked in recents.
Use aggressive doze in greenify
Wipe data from Google play services. Wipe dalvik and cache from twrp
Install amplify. Even if you are not using paid version, you will still be able to find out wakelocks, alarms and services
Another app I'd recommend is wakelock detector.

Google backup on. Google now on. Bluetooth off. Location services on.
I clear all recent apps n go off to sleep, i still get whatsapp messages after clearing it, so if whatsapp works so should Greenify.
Google stuff is on throughout the day but i dnt get drains, it's only during night, so i guess the reason should be different.
I l try aggressive doze and amplify and wipes but i guess theres something v r missing.

If you completely clear recents, Greenify most probably will not work. Its dev Oasisfeng himself says so.
Apart from that, a BBS idle dump is the only way to identify the culprits.

I guess its whatsapp app backup which is holding the device awake and bcking up on google driver... Not sure though just a hunch. But 12 % is too much to lose.
Just look in to Settings - Battery and if the Google Play services is in the top the process called *net_scheduler* is cause. The problem is global not only for Oneplus users.

I also own Samsung grand max and it doesn't show any battery drain overnight. And yes i can see "Google services" used my battery but not "google play services"
My Google Now is turned on and my OP3 lasted almost 3 full Days this Weekend with Just 1h SOT.
Google Now is not a huge Drainer for me. I recognized that it is useful to restart your Phone from time to time.

Greenify won't work if you clear recents using broom icon because that disables accessibility settings for greenify. Lock greenify in recents before using broom. Also make sure that accessibility settings, device administrator and usage access settings have been enabled for greenify.
I'd still recommend turning off Google backup

Ok last charge i got 5 hr SOT with greenify its was facebook and google play i guess. Let me test few more days ill keep reporting
I'm getting about 6% battery drain over night with wifi off whereas my Samsung Tab S2 drains only 1%. :silly:
The signal quality isn't the best where I live so that could explain the difference. I'm also using 2 sim cards. Does this mean I will consume twice the radio power?
I installed bbs. Locked Greenify and bbs in recent. Activated Greenify in accessibility and administrator. Will post results in day or two

Doubts about battery A5 2017

Hi, I have doubts about the battery or need advices.
When I go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning (6 - 7 hours), the phone drains about 15 - 20%, is it normal?
When I go to sleep I put it in mid power saving, 80% brightness, wi fi and AoD activated, blue filter activated, auto brightness checkbox deactivated and in settings -> maintenance I erase RAM.
Even though, the battery lasts 36 hours or more.
Thanks in advance.
That's normal standby for most devices, though I don't really lose as much percentage overnight by just closing all apps before I go to bed and keeping the brightness low while leaving WiFi and Location Services on. I go to bed with 60% and wake up 7 hours later with around 50%, so maybe you're doing something wrong. But 15-20% overnight isn't really a big deal at all considering how fast this phone charges.; you get 20% back by charging for just 15 minutes. You'd really over ever notice a difference in standby time if you're coming from an iPhone which has the best standby time in the business, but this phone makes up for it just fine.

I see. In fact, last night it went from 60 to 51, so it depends on a lot of things.
Do you say I must change/add some other settings to improve the battery life?

I knew for sure that my battery life increased exponentially when the phone started dozing apps I didn't frequently use. The phone hibernates apps after 3-7 days of not being used, but you can put them to sleep yourself in Device Maintenance.
Advice
I lost just 1-5 at the night I stop AoD,and wifi if you use Facebook app or social media apps will drain battery faster than when using browser it's better.:good:

Only 1-5% ? Amazing. Yeah, but if you deactivate wifi, you won't get any notifications of anything during the night (if you think about it, you won't answer any because you are sleeping). Maybe I'll try that.
I don't use Facebook too much, but the browser version is a bit slower and not comfortable IMO.
The principal app that drains my battery is the PvZ2, though.
It will disconects wifi even when you turn it on... I lose abou 2 to 3 % night, but I dont see point of having device on during night so now I power it ofd

Where exactly do I put apps to sleep? Or may I force them to stop? (don't know if it is said like that, I have it in Spanish).

Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery > Check the apps you don't frequently use and tap Save Power. If you choose to sleep Instagram, for example, you can still open it anytime later by just tapping the app, it'll just take an extra second to start which you won't even notice.

Instead of turning it off completely, you can also use the maximum power saving mode. Using that, I went to sleep with 97% and once I checked after waking up it was 96%.
I didn't measure the boot time of the device (not that I even care about it) but disabling the power saving mode might be a bit faster than turning the phone on.
Thanks all of you!
It is NOT normal for battery to drain 15-20% overnight.
Normal drain in that period would be 1-2% without AOD and 4-5% with AOD.
Battery wise A5 '17 have good one. I usually get about 7 hrs on SOT with medium ussage or 1.5 days ussage.
