Hello, I have recently re-flashed to stock on my E980, I am running the phone on the AIO network as an unlocked device (although it would run fine if it were ATT locked as well).
I am looking for ideas to why I am having a problem. So it goes like this...
The phone randomly turns off. It seems to happen in my pocket, not on the desk. When I go to turn it back on, it is unresponsive unless I pull the battery or plug it into AC. If I plug it in before pulling the battery, it says not enough power to turn on. If I pull the Battery and turn it on the homescreen loads and I have plenty of battery in the upper corner (75% or so). When the homescreen loads, its fine for awhile, then back to step 1.
I am currently unrooted (just flashed back using LG flash tools) however the problem was first noted on a rooted stock ROM. I installed CM11 thinking that maybe it was something in the ROM that was initally causing this and a new ROM was in store for me... Did it on CM 11 too. Then I reflashed to Stock and I am still having this issue.
I have tried most everything and my thought is that the battery is either toast or not being recognized properly. I do not have immediate access to a different battery, but I think i can get my hands on one... If I replace it, I'm thinking it would take me an hour or so to replicate the problem and I still wouldn't be certain that was the culprit.
Anyone have any ideas, or things I could try out before trying to source a test battery, or does this not sound like a battery issue?
hey
i got the same problem
gonna have new battery soon and see if its from this
the sell man told me its could be the ROM
gonna try the modem of e980H
I've been having a similar problem as you, and actually had the device factory reset while in my pocket. Going to try and find a battery around my area, and hoping it fixes the problem. Have you noticed any heating issues as well before the reboot?
yea its getting so heated and drain the battery so fast
i think cos its trying to find single i had that problem with rezound too
i think there connection when its got heat -> drain the battey > and also kills the battery after few times
So I finally got rid of the issues with my zenwatch (android wear crashing etc) did cache wipe and removed Amazon and Trigger from my phone and seem to be gone now.
But, I have this other issue, my battery was at 13% when I woke up... and it was draining suddenly in my sleep (see the screenshot) and then I did a reboot .. the blank space and now I'm back at 33%... The other two spikes before were from charging and resetting the device because of the software issues.
What could this mean? Is the reading wrong or software issue? Anyone had something similar?
Thanks
That happens to me, it will quickly drop to where it was before you rebooted.
So I got my M9 last year the day it launched and haven't really had any problems up until this year. The battery started draining really fast lasting only a couple hours so I had the battery replaced inside it. The battery life is a little better now but now it's overheating, like getting pretty hot to the touch even with minimal use and especially gets really hot when charging it. This is really worrying me and I was wondering if anyone has had issues similar to this or if anyone has any advice on what I should do to maybe help resolve this issue. Thank you to anyone and everyone for your help.
Anyone?

No haven't done that. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that because I don't want to lose all my data. I'm not sure how a factory reset would help since this only started after I got a new battery for this phone.
I just started having this problem today. Gets really hot (112 degrees) and the battery is draining super fast. I tried rebooting, but when that didn't work I tried wiping the dalvik cache and cache, but still having the same problem. Did you ever get it figured out?

I am having the same problem on 2 M9s as well for the past few days. One running a custom ROM and 1 running stock ROM. One of the phones has been off the charger for 2 hours. I have just sent 1 text message in the time and the battery has gone from 100 to 52%
I have cleared cache and dalvic but the problem persists. Any recommendations?
This problem just started for me yesterday. I noticed the phone was plugged up at 20% only reached 45% after 3 hours . I ejected my SD card and did a factory reset. I booted back up and started updating my apps. Everything seemed to be fixed until I started installing my missing apps and it started again. From 63% at 1am to dead before 6am with no use at all. I'm going to factory reset again and see where it gets me. If I find a solution, i'll post it. Good luck.
I ended up doing a factory reset and installing Fluent Rom (I was on stock rooted MM). The first time I did it I told it to reinstall my apps and settings during setup, but the problem was still there after I got it set up. So I did the factory reset again and re-flashed the rom, but this time I didn't restore my apps and settings. I just let it go and treated it like it was a brand new phone and everything has been fine for the last couple days. Temp is down to 85-90F on idle and charging (and battery life) are back to normal. Hope that helps.
I am having the exact same issue. It just started two days ago. I had the chance to get a new phone through the Uh Oh program, and the new one is also having the same issue as soon as I updated it to Marshmallow
Update, i'm still having the same problem. I've factory reset from Sense and from Recovery Mode numerous times. I've even wiped my cache a few times. The problem always comes back when I start installing apps. FB, Fenix, IG, Google Keyboard, Soundcloud, MX Player. By the time I get this far, i'm already over heating. I'll reset and leave it stock and see what happens.
Same here used the uh oh program got a new phone s offed and running venom rom and used titanium backup to get rid of alot of apps
It has cooled down for now but ill see

Update with possible Solution
So like I posted earlier, I reset my phone to factory multiple times. After some trial and error, I realized that if my apps remained Stock, the battery was fine. Even If I installed 3rd party stuff like Facebook, Ig and Fenix, the battery was fine. Once I updated all the stock apps to current the battery took a nosedive. So after leaving all the core apps stock, I updated one at a time until the battery took a nose dive. The one App that seemed to cause my battery to take a nose dive was HTC Car. Stock, it was fine. Once I updated it, everything went down hill. Once I uninstalled the updates, everything went back to normal.
So if you've run in the same problem I have, try and uninstall the updates for HTC Car and see if that works. If not, go back to factory and update the stock apps one at a time like I did until one causes the nosedive.
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.

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!!
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.
