Hi guys
Im having a huge battery drain since I'm on Nougat, and it's because of the android system itself. Not because of an app or whatever. Indeed, in like 3 hours I lost almost 40% only using Spotify.
Here is a screenshot -> http://imgur.com/a/24874
I know there is a ton of posts like that but I believe that battery drain-related problems are user specific, so..
And I'm on full stock. No rom, not rooted
Anyway thank you!
give us more information to help you. Rom? Kernel?
I'm on full stock ! No rom, not rooted, everything's stock

Try installing 7.0 factory images from Google. You will find the instructions easily on xda, as well as on the Google site.
Restart your phone... Did you install the october security update? I have also some battery drain since the latest update.

Yep I'm on the october security udpate! So maybe this isn't only myself
Was your screen on or off the majority of the time?

Here's what happened on my 5X, I got mine new about 2 months ago, had 6.0.1 and battery life was great with amazing stand-by time. Soon after, I got the final update of 7.0 Nougat, everything was fine and battery life was slightly better than before. About 2 weeks later, my phone started draining battery when idle with nothing turned on. I tried recalibrating the battery, doing a hard reset and nothing worked, it was still draining battery when idle (I lose about 25-40% over night every time) So I tried fixing this drain issue myself and here's what I did: I rooted the phone, flashed back to 6.0.1 only to find out that that idle drain is still there (I wiped cache and everything) When that didn't work I tried Cyanogenmod 13, the drain is still there. So I read about different kernels, and I flashed back to stock 6.0.1 with ElementalX Kernel and that didn't change a thing. I am currently on 7.0 rooted with ElementalX Kernel and my device is still draining battery when idle. I have done pretty much all that I could to try and fix this but no luck. I tried contacting people on the Nexus forums and the only thing they said is, it might be a software problem. But can't know for sure. If anyone can please help or knows what else to do it would be greatly appreciated. I should also mention that my fingerprint sensor died shortly after 7.0 update and I have no idea why. Btw every time I flashed a new rom, it was completely stock with no 3rd apps installed and still draining when idle. (Side note: I live in Slovenia, there are no google stores in my country)
Also there is no damage to my device, no drops, no water exposure. Should I take it to service to have the battery replaced? What if the problem is still the same? I need some help here..

I'd bet you a large sum of money that it's one of the Google apps holding the phone awake. Get a wakelock detector and find the culprit. All of that Google Location **** that they build into their apps just seems to run away and start draining battery. That's why I've permanently ditched having the Google app or Google Now Launcher on my phone.

I'll admit that I've used those apps before without a single issue. But every once in a while, usually after an app update, Play Services or Location Services would suddenly go rogue and it was infuriating to track down the issue. So I avoid those apps all together now as a precaution.

Same here.
What version of Google Play Services are you running? I believe a recent version (in the range 9.6.xx if I recall) had a genuine bug causing wakelocks.
The latest version (9.8.77) seems OK for me and the phone sleeps as before.

How did you ditch the google app? I can't even disable it. As for the launcher, I use Nova prime.

When I clean flash a new ROM I use Pico GAPPS which doesn't come with the Google App or anything and I just never install it from the store.
I did a fresh install of latest release of CM13 with the pico Gapps package, the only things I installed my self are gmail, drive and chrome, I also disabled all background processes in the developer options, set the animation to 0 and turned off all types of syncing, even before I added those 3 apps I was still getting idle drain. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm thinking of selling my phone and getting something else, but I'd still like to have the battery replaced just to see if it'll fix the problem although I'm not really sure it's just the battery's fault since more people are having the same issue. One thing is for sure, I will never buy the cheapest google phone ever again, my friend's 6p is running better and has more battery life on 7.0 than on 6.0.1.
EDIT: On this latest release of cm13, I got an android system message saying: There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.

Yeah I'm running the latest version (9.8.77) and today, out of no where, I started getting smacked with a ton of wakelocks from none other than Google Play Services.
EDIT: Found the culprit, it was the Project Fi app.. -______-

Which cache did you delete? Like you wiped cache in TWRP or did you clear the cache of an individual app?
What kind of drain we are talking about here? Few per cent per hour or more? I had an issue with my old Note 4 recently, somehow it got wet and it was never the same. Battery drains in 5-6 hours. Generally, after you restore the software, there shouldn't be any drain, if there is, very likely it is a hardware issue?
So my battery on my phone seems to suck... I just made a full wipe clean install of ICE Rom 3.5.0 with cleanslate kernel, balanced pnp profile v. 22, magisk root and got a whooping battery loss of around 30 percent overnight!
I was using stock before and had around 20 battery loss overnight, which sucks and is the reason i wanted to try a custom rom.
My phone is already 4 months old and I did a battery diagnosis, which ended with 94 percent (which is good right?).
Can anyone please help me?
I don't have Facebook or Facebook messenger installed, turned of WiFi and Bluetooth Scan and Location Services.
And I'm using Greenify, although I didn't greenify any apps yet

What email app are you using? How have you got it synced? See how many times it wakes your device using Gsam or some similar app. This was my battery drainer (I use Bluemail). Anyway, check that out first.
20% battery loss overnight is horrible. Something is not set up correctly or is misbehaving.
Reboot your device and let it set for 2 minutes. Now go to System/Settings/Developer options and select Running Services. Everything look OK there?
I cant see your screenshot.

Yes, I lost the same amount although I had the phone in flight AND extreme energy saver mode...
I'm facing the same problem after i updated my Firmware to 2.28.617.6. My Battery Usage show 45% of ANDROID OS an 39% of ANDROID SYSTEM, I'm already tried Viper 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 5, 5.1, all with the same problem.
I updated firmware using RUU.exe, and i already updated firmware again to 2.41.401.3 with RUU again. Same problem
I realized the problem is not with rom, all of then, stock or custom, show the same situation. Its a firmware problem with Nougat
My phone is a Unlocked version, with S-ON
Any help?
I would perform a full wipe (+data!). Reinstall your Rom freshly, and the problem should be gone.

I'm already did that, all ROM's installs i did with a clean install.
With no one third app installed, the problem persists
i'm already tested turn of wifi, bluetooth, location, put phone on save battery mode, restart all permissions
Nothing helped
The main question is thats something who did not let phone enter in deep sleep
Yeah I've got the same problem with Android OS and Android System (the wakelocks are HVDCPD_WL and NETLINK) keeping the phone awake and preventing deep sleep almost 100% of the time, which is absolutely killing my battery life.
Frustratingly, the problem is not solved with a full wipe + reflash of any ROM. I originally had the problem sometime after the stock 7.0 OTA upgrade, at which point I unlocked the boot loader, flashed Maximus HD, then the problem went away for about a month until just returning a couple days ago. I've tried flashing the latest Maximus HD, Viper, but nothing is fixing it so far.
I bet it's some kind of hardware issue. I'm almost at the point of giving up and getting a OnePlus 3.
Just sharing my experience: I tried every Sense-based ROM I could find, problem of phone not going to sleep persisted. Even tried RUU to latest 2.41.617.3, which of course wipes absolutely everything - same problem, phone not going to sleep. As last ditch attempt, flashed the LineageOS Jan 28th nightly, and the problem is gone. Phone sleeping properly and battery life is back to normal. Not sure if coincidence or what... Going to stay on Lineage for a while as it works pretty well, but will go back and try Sense again in a couple weeks maybe.
This issue started to affect my phone while still on Marshmallow, around 3 weeks ago. It felt like it started after updating an app. This is what prompted me to update to Nougat. However, the issue persisted, even with full wipes, and even with LineageOS installed.
Moving from stock ROM to LineageOS has reduced battery drain from 10% per hour, to 5%.
Airplane mode and battery saver mode makes no difference to the drain. Neither does any WiFi and GPS setting changes - I have already read about a few possible "causes".
Perhaps the only option is S-OFF and re-flash all partitions of the phone?

Running a RUU would be your best option. This will wipe the phone and restore the stock ROM (system, firmware, etc).
Have you looked at wakelocks or app usage to see if there is any unusually high usages? I had a problem with my 10 awhile back that ended up being a particular version of Google Play Services. Usually these issues can be traced to a particular app or setting, it's just a matter of knowing what to look for.
Ohio wake_lock and no deep sleep. Same issue after reflash ruu, lineage, viper... on all roms same issue and no deep sleep. I think it's hardware issue. I try to flash elementalx kernel and it fixed problem for a day, one day only. Worst phone ever for me.

How do you make a battery diagnosis?
Hi, since about a month I've been having the same issue, the kernel HVDCPD_WL and NETLINK wakelocks are keeping the CPU in use and consuming the battery charge at a rate of about 10%/hour. Has anybody got any new info on this? I read of someone that claims of having fixed it by cleaning the usb-c port, but in my case it doesn't seem to make any difference.
My 5T is constantly losing battery due to "Android OS". I think it started when I updated to OOS 4.7.6 because it seems to have started within the last week or so, but I'm not sure.
I am currently sitting at 52% with 13 minutes of screen on time. 13 minutes.
https://imgur.com/a/Xfj7y
I know it looks like it's because of poor mobile connection, but that's how it's always been with T-Mobile in my area. Like I said before it hasn't always done this, so it isn't that.
I am rooted with TWRP and Magisk. Nothing too fancy just a couple of Xposed modules that I installed the same day I got the phone. So I know it's not any of those either.
I have already tried using Greenify to kill everything in the background, resetting app preferences, and wiping the dalvik and cache with TWRP. None of these has had any affect.
I really don't want to wipe and redo my entire setup, but it's looking like I might have to. Or even downgrade from 4.7.6 to a previous version.
I would appreciate any help and/or suggestions.
None here, been running 4.7.6 for a while. Mine is rooted, my wifes phone is stock, also running fine. Both average 7.5-8 of SOT.
No issues here.
Wow. Since updating to 4.7.6 I have been waking up in the morning to "xyz app" is draining your battery. Usually it is drive which I never use and other times its play services but its nothing like what you are experiencing. My setup has been exactly the same for over two weeks with no added or removed apps, the only difference is the update from 4.7.5 to 4.7.6. I had it dialed in where I would lose 2% overnight consistently but now I have apps draining my battery overnight and the loss is considerably more than that. Hope you get it sorted out :good:

Have you tried better battery stats app to check what's draining your battery? I use that app and it's pretty good.
My phone setup is pretty much like yours, just root with magisk and xposed , no issues here. I'm on stock recovery but TWRP shouldn't matter too guess

Do 1thing i also updated using VPN and m on 4.7.6 version but the battery life is great. I am not rooted just on oxygen Os 4.7.6 without greenify or any such apps. The battery is amazing always 7 to 8hrs and more slot easily. I just cleared cache from recovery and storage after updating and its also recommended on Oneplus site to clear cache after updating. It worked for me when previously i had battery issues . Try it should solve your problems.
Updated to 4.7.6 (full zip via stop recovery) when I got the phone (a week ago) and did a factory reset. Battery is very good for me.

I had this issue on my pixel and nobody seemed to be able to help or offer an explanation, your case sounds extreme like mine was, you could literally see the battery percentage dropping 2-3% per minute and the phone was running super hot.
No idea of the cause but I fixed it by a full wipe of everything, internal storage included, reinstalled everything from scratch no backup app or cloud or anything literally everything clean install.
Hope you get it sorted.
Edit -to clarify, when I tried a clean install of the ROM wiping data cache and system I still had the same issue when i had restored my setup, even in different ROMs, it was baffling. For me it seemed to be wiping the internal storage that cured it, I just backed up pics and anything else I didn't want to lose to my pc just wiped the lot, redone my whole setup from scratch and problem solved.
Just an update in case anyone ends up having the same issue. I fixed it by disabling WiFi. I have no idea why WiFi is causing the severe drain it does, but now I can easily go three days on a single charge and get 6+ hours of screen on time. Even though my phone reports a poor 4G connection almost all the time.
I hope this issue gets magically fixed in Oreo in the same way it magically started in 4.7.6.

That's weird, my phone is connected to wifi a good part of the day and I don't have battery drain. Wifi was on for 22 hours and I have 55% left. The phone is close to 2 days without a charge. I usually get 2 days out of with with normal use and 3 with lighter use.
Have you tested with an app like "Wifi analyser" how is your reception ? I guess it would eat more power with poor reception.
I've had my phone for 3 days, just started, I did the update and a factory reset directly.
I did a test by cutting the mobile data at night and over 8 hours I lose 1% on the battery.
So for me it's very good! :good:
4.7.6 here, not rooted, no such problem
I have this problem too. AndroidOS seems to keep downloading something in the background. I was able to make the problem go away by setting a static IP address in the WiFi settings.
I have used my Oneplus 5T for 8 month,recently the battery is total terrible ,for not use ,and just open one app,it drops battery from 70% to 17% in 3 hour !!And i charged it in 43% ,again drops to 10% in one hour ,then in mins closed without any battery.What a big joke ,i contact the customer of Oneplus ,respond very badly and does nonsense .Mine is 8GB 128GB android 7.1 ,a total rubbish now.Anyone in the same occasion?

Then please do not whine about having a bad battery life. Or when you do not want to update (although your reasoning is not logical as I am on 8.1 latest offcial which is working flawlessly) you could try doing factory reset.
I had OP's issue.
Clear Google cache
Clear Google Play cache
Reboot into recovery, clear cache.
I'm not sure what is required but I do all 3 and it fixes the Android OS drain. Fewer steps may do it? Never tried narrowing it down. My wifi is always off. Location (high) always on. (history/tracking off) App auto-update off.
Based on my circumstances I have a feeling it has something to do with google play app update notifications not coming thru due to bad signal but that's a guess.

Have u seen all ?Is a battery problem and worst customer support!!
I have a Oneplus 3 and I have been quite happy with it .. up until got notified for an update to Oreo a few daya ago.
Since the update, the battery drain on the phone has been pretty bad and even when I am not using the phone, the battery is draining much faster than it should or was.
Yesterday I tried searching on Oneplus forum to see how to fix it, and saw some post suggesting to update to Open Beta 31. I downloaded the update the manually updated the phone, and the battery drain still seems to be same.
Fyi, my phone is not rooted.
Please see the image below for battery drain graph..
What I can see is that even when the screen is off, and the wifi is inactive .. the phone is still awake and not seemingly going into deep sleep mode..!!
Can anybody please help how to solve this issue?
Thanks
you could try better battery stats although it is a root app to find what is keeping the phone awake, i think you can use adb to grant the permissions for it to work without root or you could factory reset that should sort it out

From the screenshot, I am able to see that you have a very patchy mobile signal which is one of the reasons for the drain .
Well, the signals have been same even before the update. The battery drain was not like this before.
In the last 8 hours, with little use the phone went to about 36%..
Now I can do a factory reset but it's an annoyance because all my data would get lost, or I'll have to backup and restore using some means.

In the last 8 hours, with little use the phone went to about 36%..
Now I can do a factory reset but it's an annoyance because all my data would get lost, or I'll have to backup and restore using some means.

I have noticed that with an incremental update, things get sour on OP3. The best bet without losing data would be to clean flash the full ROM after wiping system, data (excluding internal storage), Dalvik and cache. I am sure your issue would be gone.
I always clean flash and have no such issues.
100% App related. I am getting great battery life on Oreo 5.0.1 by using Greenify. Maybe 3-4% overnight.

Just because it worked before doesnt mean it will work the same after an update. Mainly with this OEM.
Hi,
I've tried clearing the cache and also deleting everything except personal data and reinstalled the update 31 multiple times. Still the same problem.
The battery is draining at about 10% every hour regardless.
Can anyone advise what else can i try?
My only doubt now is if the update 31 file is the right one to install. I'm assuming that because the file is approximately 1.5GB it is a full update rather than a incremental update.
If that's not the case, can anyone tell me which file to install as the full update?
Another problem I have noted since the update is that the Camera does not work. Not sure why though.
If nothing else works, I'd be forced to try and downgrade to android 7 though I'd prefer to have android 8 - if it works and does not drain the battery this much.

You say that you have the OP3 but the heading of this thread refers to Open Beta 5 and then you say that you clean flashed Open Beta 31. Which is correct, OP3 or OP3T, OB5 or OB31? No wonder you are facing issues.
Hi
The phone is Oneplus 3
It prompted for auto update to Oreo, which I did.
Then started battery drain issues.
After reading forums, I updated to Open Beta 31.
The battery drain is still there and I have reinstalled Open Beta 31 couple of times which includes deleting everything from the phone excluding personal data, music etc.
I have cleared cache as well.

I repeat, your mobile signal is one, if not the only, heavy drainer.
Install BBS, grant permissions through adb, run it and take an idle dump (as described in its thread) and attach it in the BBS thread. Someone there will study it and identify the culprit/s.
I've installed Bbs and here's what it shows:
It shows something named video2 is keeping the phone awake most of the time. I also found that the phone cpu is awake most of the time rather than being in deep sleep.
Looking on the internet, I can't find what video2 is!!
Any ideas?
Also just found that the YouTube app is also not working. I google'd and found many people have reported the same problem, and have been suggested to do a factory reset. So I've just done that as well and it has still not helped.
Here's another screenshot of betterbatterystat showing the same issue :
This shows that the phone is not going into deep sleep most of the time, as video2 is keeping it awake. Hence the battery drain.
Any ideas of what I can do to solve this please?

Tried a reboot? Don't use any force dozing apps or block wakelocks.
Yes, rebooted the phone and I am not using any app to restrict wakelocks or force dozing any apps - apart from what's inbuilt in the Oreo os.

It's known that Mobile Data can be a really big drainer. I easily go from 0.6% per hour on WiFi to +2% on mobile data, especially poor signal as you have shown can drain even more. You could try using Greenify with Shallow Hibernation, it doesn't kill apps it only restricts them from doing too much in the background, you could try blocking the wakelock with Bluspark's build in wakelock blocker. But I am highly against blocking things that you don't know (Can cause more wakelocks, random reboots etc).
If Video2 is similar to Video3 is then most likely camera related.
Maybe some app is using your camera and doesn't even let your device sleep. Which could make sense since even being awake all the time 10%/h drain is way to high with the screen off, so probably other hardware is being used.
Check your apps, you might even have malware installed. See what permissions was each app.
I'd recommend to backup your data, do a factory reset or even wipe system partition (although you need TWRP for that
Since you mention that YT is not working another possible option is that is some playback video related.
Same thing, backup and factory reset. Install each app with Playstore and don't restore backups.
Maybe when you backup your data into your PC run some kind of Virus Scan over all the file just to be safe.
Ever since I updated to Android PIE (One UI). I've noticed a major decrease in the battery. I was able to get a full day of usage with oreo, now I only get a little over half a day of usage. Not to mention the battery usage of screen off time is about 10-15% worse than what it was on Oreo...
I doubt I'm the only one with this problem, so has anyone found a fix to this? Or should I just revert back to oreo?
Model: Samsung SM-G960F
Make sure you factory reset after updating to Pie
I factory reset the phone after installing Pie and battery improved greatly. battery while using the phone is pretty much the same, but phone in standby time drains waaaay less battery than on Oreo.
You should factory reset your phone after every major update like this one

Is your google backup still working?
My SoT and standby battery improved graitly after deleting google accounts, samsung, and emails.
Only got twitter, fb, fb messenger as social media.
I know this is not a fix, but I did this, to check battery without google accounts activated.
I start to beleive my drain comes, from the phone trying to back up and get stuck, plus a play store that kept crashing.
It even showed at device maintenance, but then again, that one isn't working properly neither for a lot of users.

I've factory reset my phone. However I'm never gonna use samsung cloud to backup again, either backup wont work or restore won't work.
In terms of battery, it's gotten a little better, however I still feel like it was better back on Oreo.
Not factory resetting
I've owned my Galaxy S9 for a little over a month now, and I've done lots with it. I've installed a lot of apps and would hate to factory reset it and have to go through the process of setting it up again.
The battery has gotten worse on Pie but I want to fix the battery issue without factory resetting it. I know I can enable Power Mode but then I can't use Gear VR. Any ideas?

Clear cache from recovery
Install something like BetterBatteryStats and find out what is draining the battery (Needs some ADB commands to give it permissions but does not require root)
Disable AOD
Turn off background usage for apps you do not need to run in the background from that specific apps info screen
Dev Options > Background Check can also stop apps from running in the background
Turn off notifications for apps you do not need them from (I always assume if they have notification permission, they have to run in the background in order to provide notifications in the first place)
But the ultimate battery fixer after upgrading to a new Android version is and always will be a factory reset, you just cannot fix battery drain properly any other way, the previous OS leaves behind rubbish files which drains the battery, always been the case
I gave in and decided to back up my data using Smart Switch and factory reset. It was a pain setting everything up again and some apps just weren't reinstalled for some reason. I can confirm that the battery isn't as bad as it was previously, but it still drops by 1% every few minutes like on Oreo. I've turned on power saving mode and disabled AOD, but the battery still remains disappointing. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future update.
