Solution for overnight battery drain.. Tested and working!!!

Whats up guys.. I have a one x and my battery just drains when i go to sleep... Around 20-23 percent.. Even with power saver on and all toggles off.. I tried many apps just to prevent this and still its the same result.. I heard about this app and i just want to share it to you.. Battery drain is down to 4-5 percent within a 10 hour period.. Thats just great!!! App is called Greenify and it hibernates your apps than drains battery.. Have a try and let me know.. Support the dev as well.. Cheerios!

Been using this for a while and it works well. Just understand what your 'greenifying' so you don't think apps are broken as a result.

Does your battery drain even with screen off at night too bro?

Thanks for sharing, this is sort of stuff I looking for
Anyway, I prefer to solve the problem without this kinda application first, I'll try it once I'm at dead end

Not hugely like yours but I use it among other things to get a good full day use out of my phone without limping towards end of the day.
I would use gsam to identify the app drain at night and greenify to help if you can't stop it with the app settings or a fresh install.

I used wake lock and saw google maps draining so much of my battery and I disabled it and so far 4 days battery is good... I mean it doesn't drain. Hope it works.

I use this Greenify with Deep Sleep battery saver at night, Wifi drains alot of unnecessary power in the night, deep sleep turns on wifi and sync every X hours. Managed to get 1 day and 11 hours with total of 3 hours screen time(i use my phone as a PDA not as a high performance device)

Stock OS

Been poking around here and reading all the posts that people had mentioning battery life on stock/cm11. Is battery life really that good? I find myself trying everything possible (including hardly using the device, turning brightness all the way down, turning off bluetooth & Dynamic perspective) and I find that my phone is dropping like a brick. I can have the phone lose %s in front of me just having the screen open for a few minutes doing nothing else.
I even have two apps to optimize/kill all other apps and I'm finding that this phone is dying faster than a t-mobile pre paid LG L90 I was using prior. I just don't see how people with stock and all the features on are getting more than 5 hours battery life tops. This phone dies while you use it on the charger, which is a first from any phone I've ever used.
How do your experiences stack up? Do I just have a bad unit? Really considering going to cm11 now (really wanted to like Fire OS).

You must have something wrong with the phone. I have had Samsung S3's and S4's and the Fire is far and away the best I have experienced for battery life. I am getting close on two days on a full charge although I do not use it a great deal for voice calls.

Are you keeping Dynamic perspective off with a low brightness instead of auto? Don't see how two days is possible unless you absolutely never used the device. I can lose like 10% an hour just on the browser reading text sites.

Fire has the best battery life of any android phone I've owned. I'm on fire os with a different launcher and I have dynamic perspective on (not for home screen obviously). I'm also using auto brightness. I'm rooted with gapps installed. I get great standby time and even in use its good. You should get gsam battery monitor and see what's going on, although I think you might have a broke unit.

Here is a picture from Gsam (I don't have my phone rooted). I think this is pretty bad for only 3:28hrs of screen on time and that was with the screen at the lowest brightness, not on auto. For app usage I have 7% coming from a game I was playing, but the rest of the drain is coming from system and kernel. Would really like to see another users stats with similar screen on time, as I'm pretty sure I could completely kill this phone's battery in 4-5 hours just using silk browser on Reddit.

On the off chance that you or anyone else can help me understand what's going on I ran a ~10% drain test and made a picture including information from WakeLock Detector and GSam. This drain seems very bad considering the screen was only on for a total of 16 minutes and I lost 8% power.

Your phone isn't going into deep sleep. It's hard to determine exactly what's going on there but if you download kernel adiutor (yes, that's the spelling) you'll see its locked at 300mhz most of the time. I know it sounds crazy but have you rebooted? That can often sort out a misbehaving app. Are you rooted? If so deploy greenify.

Do you have any recommended settings for that app? I disabled something that I think is allowing me to enter deep sleep more, but I have to finish testing. Thanks for the help ratbags!

Oh I see what's the wrong.

5 hours of "screen on time" is solid, the combined time incl. standby, etc. is of course much longer. He didn't know how to interpret the statistics from the device, it was a misunderstanding.

That kernel app won't help battery life but it will show you how long you spend in deep sleep.
As for greenify, you should greenify all the Google apps. I actually greenify everything except sms app, browser, phone and alarm apps.
Also, this could possibly be some kind of location based frippery. Turn location services off or onto battery saving mode if only temporarily. And turn off auto sync if it's on.

Battery Drain

Ever since I updated to 8.1.0 with December security patch, I've noticed my battery draining faster than normal. I was getting 4-5 hours of SOT with around 45-50% battery left. This was after being off the charger for 12-16 hours. Now I'm getting about half the SOT at similar numbers. Anyone have any ideas?

Excuse my stating the obvious, but you need to find what process or app is using the battery. You should be able to get a rough idea just using the new features under Settings>>Battery. It will identify which apps are using the most juice. Run the phone in Safe Mode to see if your battery life goes back to normal. It could also be a service like Google Play Service which sometimes wigs out and starts chewing battery. Are you rooted? If you need more detailed information there are battery drain apps available to help isolate the problem (BBS and GSam). These apps require root to give the best results.

Not rooted and currently locked. I've downloaded GSAM and have adb permissions and it simply says things like Chrome, RCS Phone and Play services. If you see from the photos below you can see what I'm talking about. Chrome currently isn't that bad, but yesterday and the past couple days it's been like 9% or more of the battery.

Two things: I've never seen phone or kernel use that much battery. On one page phone usage is 33 seconds, yet it used 9% ? I think RCS is running the background all the time. See if you can toggle it to not run in the background under Settings>>Apps>. High kernel I'm guessing is a kernel wakelock or multiple. You've probably loaded app(s) that are creating the problem, but you need to find out which one is causing the wakelocks. There is a wakelock detector "lite" app that doesn't need root but I don't know how well it works. I know the root version works well. Lastly, on the first screenshot with the battery, scroll to the bottom of the page and see which apps are listed there. I'd be willing to bet if you ran the phone in Safe Mode, your battery drain would disappear, meaning your user apps are causing it.

Well in safe mode my drain is gone so I'm not sure which app is doing it, but to directly answer your question about the RCS it is an overall app meaning it is related to several Google play services. I'll upload a photo of it. I have to reboot into normal mode.
Edit: I'm wrong about that it was the play services.. I'll have to start uninstalling the apps to determine which one is draining the battery I guess.

RCS can be a real battery hog, but I don't know why. I don't have RCS on AT&T. Do you use Messages as your primary SMS? Open Settings>>Advanced and see if you can toggle off "Enhanced Features". Open properties and check if it is using battery optimization. If it is not, set Messages to battery optimization. You can always turn these back on later if the battery drain remains.

My battery life has been restored to pretty much the same as it was with 8.0. I also noticed poor battery life after installing the 8.1 update, even though they changed the way battery life is estimated with this update (supposedly). Something just felt off, but now everything feels great! I am fairly certain what changed is installing the Greenify Magisk module and/or the Google play services doze module (this enables battery optimization on the Google play services app). Not sure which one really made the difference because I installed them at the same time. However, there is definitely a major difference!!

In my experience that's really good.
Before 8.1 I noticed about 11% per hour during screen on use and about 0.33% per hour while on stand by in my pocket or a little bit better if it's just sitting on my night stand not moving while I'm sleeping (I think doze is more extreme in that situation) which seems to match what you are getting. Based on that screen shot I think that's like 8 hours screen on time over like 35 hours for a full charge. I've done a little bit better but not much. That's excellent battery life.
Since 8.1 it has dropped. Best now is maybe 7 to MAYBE 7.5 hours over maybe 26-28 hours. In my experience battery life always drops after an update but this case is far from the worst. I remember when my Nexus 5 updated from KitKat to Lollipop. The battery drop was awful and to make matters worse the battery life of the Nexus 5 was pretty bad to begin with.

So in my last reply I thought I was wrong about RCS Phone app being a conglomerate of several apps in the phone. For some reason I couldn't find the information I needed at that time. I wiped my phone and started over after posting this thread. I was trying to isolate the misbehaving app. I thought it might have been greenify actually, but no the drain has returned to a lesser extent though. Here's some photos of this RCS app from GSAM.

I'm not sure what is causing the drain at this point. I've installed Better Battery Stats to locate the wakelocks so I can ignore them through ADB.

Have you tried disabling RCS ? (Post #6). BBS is good for idle drain, active drain not so much. It's best run overnight without touching the phone for 8 hours or so. Pick the phone up in the morning and create/save a log file as quickly as possible. Post the log to the BBS thread if you need help deciphering.

Battery draining issuein Realme X

I brought this phone on first sale.
On 3-4 days of usage I realized that the battery is draining too fast on standby mode.
When I checked the battery usage following two apps keep on running 24hrs in background:
1.Google Play Services
2.OppoDolbyService
They almost consume 30% battery in background each.
I could find no way of stopping these apps.
When I sleep with 14% battery at night I always find my phone switched off in the morning.
Kindly help.

Doesn't happen in mine...
Last night it fell by 1 or 2% overnight (about 6 hours).
But then, I'm very careful about what apps I download.
Try clearing the cache of those misbehaving apps.
Good luck

Same issue here. Got my device just yesterday. Battery drain overnight was about 13%. If this is the condition now then what if when the device is older. I do have a lot of apps installed and 3 apps can auto start (else they wont work as they are messaging apps, right? ), so should I disable them as well ?

Update : So I disabled all sorts of vibration, fingerprint wake on movement detection, double tap screen on, basically disabled all sorts of sensor function, and I personally don't like the animations in these Chinese roms so I disabled that as well, phone feels snappier, Sleep mode is on, auto start apps is off for all. So after all this battery backup is great now, overnight drain is also 2-3% max. So all good.

i will try to simplify it to you :
you will have to full charge your phone to 100% before going to sleep and just remove it from the charger just before sleeping and once you weak up go to battery usage and you can tell immediately what is draining your battery
you can also that ram boost is turned on
and turn off always on ambient display
hope this helps

Good idea thank you.
Ram boost is on
I wiil try to turn off Aod.

Have you got AOD enabled? I was getting the same usage with it enabled, turned it off cos it doesn't make that much of a difference.

Install betterbatterystats, give it required permissions via ADB and check what apps keep waking the phone up during night when you wake up. I see you are using telegram, I've seen someone having problems with it in terms of battery drain, try to set telegram to optimize battery drain (not intelligent), see if that helps.

Ditch Whatscrap, FB, and such malware apps.
Turn off all power management as it causes all kinds of issues.
Cloud apps are bandwidth and battery horrors.
Goggle Firebase, disable as well as Transport.
Playstore disable until needed.
Google Play Services is a known battery hog, I keep it disabled 99% of the time.
On my Note 10+ SOT usage is about 9%@ hour browsing on Brave.
Less than 1%@hr with AOD always on.
Less than .5%@hr sleeping with AOD touch to view.
I'm running Pie on a stock AT&T N10+ using a package blocker and Karma Firewall to lock it down. It's heavily reconfigured.
It was a twitchy, hot running bandwidth eating battery hog.
Now it's a very stable, fast, cooling running dream device...
hell yeah
