(help) battery draining too fast, new phone - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have had this phone for 4 days now, and since the first day after the full charge, I haven't got more than 3 hours of screen on time (SOT), today my phone was already at 30% with only 1.5 hours of sot. My usage is average, whatsapp, snapchat, instagram, music, sometimes videos and music. I woke up at 7 to go to school and normally at 9am is already down to 90% with 2 minuts of SOT. Sometimes I have reached 1.5 hours of SOT and the phone was at 75%, but then the draining was too fast. I have already rebooted the phone many times and already done a wipe cache. The phone is on full stock android 6.0.1, what should I do?

see if the drain is still happening.
If not, something you installed is causing the drain.
Go through battery stats and figure out which one, or start uninstalling stuff one by one until drain is gone.

Abnormal Battery Drain ?

So every night before sleeping I turn Data/ Wifi off, Past few nights ive noticed there has been a 12-15% drain in 8-9 hours.
Battery before sleeping 30%(data/wifi off)
Battery 9 hours later 15%
Stock 4.2.2
No Intense Background apps.
Is this normal ?? I don't think 4.1.1 had such battery drain with screen off and no data/wifi.
Thanks,
so u basically(roughly ) have 1% drop an hour? thats pretty damn good if you ask me
mine is usually 10 hours with intense use and 30 hours with minimal use eg: at work

That's normal at around 30% battery left. Once it reaches 30 and below it really would drain that much even without doing anything. But if you start with 95% percent and overnight drain of 15% with all off, then there is a problem somewhere. I usually have overnight drain of 3% for 8 hours.

Thanks for the reply buddy, 1.5% an hour seems higher, but as mrm43 said i think its the cause.

Thanks for your reply, I had a feeling about what you just said. But I don't recall this happening before, I could be wrong. Will charge up and test tonight and post results.
Also, I'm noticing my phone getting warm past 1 week while normal usage( Web surfin+music) area behind the camera.
So just to post back, I charged the phone upto 85% and turned off Data and Wifi, Woke up 8 and half hours later and the battery was 79%. Which is ok I guess, assuming only cell radio was on.

Horrible battery life on Kitkat (stock) .

Recently I updated my tablet to the stock 4.4 room via the OTA update.
Since then, my battery life has gone horrendous.
Android OS takes up most of the battery when the tablet is idle.
With ~2 hours of screen time and a day on the battery, it has drained down to 30%.
Anyone facing similar issues?

Poor battery since 6.0.1?

So I updated my phone tonight and after it used 30% in an hour or so. All I was doing was using FB on it. Prior I played PAD for 15 minutes and it hardly used 5%. I've wiped cache, cleared app cache, and now I'm working on a full discharge from 100%. The battery is brand new and it was getting better life prior to the upgrade. So much for 3x better battery I guess?
After clearing caches I left it idle ofer night. It used 13% for 20 minutes of screen time. and then it used 3% idle over the 5 hours I slept. Still seems a bit high on usage for screen time but idle is great.
So I discharged it completely and now its losing power fast again. The battery was 100% unplugged it and turned it on and its 97%. So I turned it back off and checked it and its also showing 97%. Charge it back to 100%, turn it on, its on 100% but loses 1% in a second. Plugged it in while onand it took like 3 minutes to charge that last 1%/ No idea why. The battery is brand new and got 2 or 3 days on idle before, now it reports 20 hours. what happened to that 3x better battery? What else can I do to sync the battery properly? I also noticed 100% is not 100% until the phone tells me battery is charged.
Again this battery is brand new and my life with 5.1.1 was pretty good.
I've been having poor battery calibrations in EPH7, though my battery is still what came with the phone.
There are days I can get to about 5? left before the phone dies, and there are days it dies at 15?..
Already tried charging all the way till full while the phone was off, still the same. It's random, but I just generally expect the phone to turn off as I come close to 15?.

That sounds like a bad battery. I can get my phone to drain down to 0% before it dies, but the battery usage can be erratic.
After some testingm the first 5% (95-100%) does down fast but after that it can go a pretty good while. Not sure why. I left the screen on with max brightness, turned on NFC/wifi/bluetooth and just left tons of apps running and it took 4-5 hours to get the battery down to 20%. the life is in fact great just not properly synced. No root makes it more of a pain to calibrate.
So I charged the battery offline and it got to 100%. I switched it on and it shows 97%. What the hell has marshmallow done to my note?
last post. If I charge the phone formt he OS it reaches 100% seemingly properly and doesn't discharge quickly. Not sure what marshmallow screwed up.
I had the same issue with my battery draining quickly after the upgrade. I backed up all of my data and then performed a master rest of the phone and then went into recovery and cleared cache as well. Once it booted back up I reloaded all of my apps and reconfigured all my accounts and my battery acts normal once again. It was a pain in the ass to do all of that but it did work for me so hopefully it works for you too.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Sony Xperia XZ Premium's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
damn no reviews for this lol im just here letting you guys know that the standby battery is amazing went to sleep yesterday at 12am with 69% of battery woke up today at 7:30am with 67% damn my old lg v20 couldnt do that lol
It's quite bad here with standby drain as well. "Phone Idle" is always on top of the battery usage apps and it's probably a few percent an hour, depending on charge of course. >90% it's 1-2% an hour, but that increases when the charge level drops.
Stock .145 rom with storm//'s hack and have greenify running
Standby drain 0,2-0,4 %/h. locked BL, .145, Greenify.
phone idle coming top 3 with 6% took from 100% in about 4 hours! what could be causing that??
phone idle 4:11 hours
screen time 1:50 hours
36minutes of sniper 3d
7minutes playtube player while screen on (plus 20 minutes screen off)
I am on 57% just after 4 hours of use! while only 1:50 hours of them screen on!
phone idle for 4:11 hours took 6% which is a ratio of (1.5% per hour)
not good at all, what could be the problem??
I tried draining to 0 then charge to 100 on a straight charge while phone is off, phone is factory resetted, locked, not rooted, stock rom .119 oreo
what else can I do here?

I don't know but I have the same issue for months... Usually 2,4-2,8% per hour (when screen off!!) and battery stats not showing anything relevant.
I have everything stock, and I am using Greenify since a ~week, now I have 1,5%-1,8% on standby (which is still a lot, but improved compared to the previous situation).
Is really bad because if I detach my phone at 7 in the morning, at 14 I am already at ~80% without doing nothing! That's also means that using it, specially a lot with maps or things like that, I am not able to go farest than 17-21 :crying:

i noticed that factory reset didnt work for me, neither does software repair
so what I did was, flashed .179 firmware, fresh flashing, wiped every thing!
battery life was almost still the same, it got a lil better.
BUT, I am now using stamina mode any time I dont use the phone much, in my pocket, or even if im slightly using it (whatsapp, instagram etc...), I only turn it off when im gaming or watching some thing which is getting me to lose 1% every 4-6 minutes when using the device, and not losing anything when the device is off (as I activate the stamina mode) this should get me around 6:30-8:00 hours of screen time!
also I noticed I had viberation on navigation buttons, I also had face detection unlock and "ok google" unlock, and google feed and a lot of widgets and a live wallpaper, and avg running in the background.
so I disabled all of these useless features as I really dont use any of them (maybe rarely) and i can feel a slight improvement. (still slight improvement over slight improvement makes a noticeably improvement)
so now I unplugged my device at 17:00 at 90% more or less and now its 22:07 and i still got 56% so in about 5 hours I lost 34% while 2:14 hours, screen was on so its very impressive!
I can get to 6:45 hours of screen use which is very very good! im still testing though.
Nah i know its too late to write this but,.
For you all who have a problem draining battery even at sleep try Greenify Donation Package + Powernap xposed module
Even now my xzp still have sot around 6 hours with 15% battery left. With everything enabled like x-reality, auto brightness, mobile data.
Btw i'm using existenz v10 cusrom + DT2W Kernel

Battery Life... Is It Just Me?

Hello everyone. I bought a Pixel XL 128GB about six month ago. I'm running completely stock Pie.
Accubattery is reporting 70 percent battery health. I don't know if previous owners ever replaced the battery of the phone with a 3rd party crappy one, but as soon as I unplug my phone it drops to 98 in a few minutes. Then after a few minutes it's on 92. If I unplug it and leave it overnight for 8+ hours, it's on 92-1 usually. This is when the phone doesn't seem to radically drop battery.
I can get, with gaming, about two hours of screen on time. Without gaming, I can barely squeeze out three hours of SOT. I am NOT a heavy user, mainly web, Gmail and Facebook. No photos. If I actively take pictures I can barely squeeze 2 hours without gaming.
GSAM and BBS shows my top stats always as "Android OS" and "kernel". Unplugging the phone on 97 began typing this and it's already on 89. I have brightness about halfway up.
Am I the only one with such lackluster battery? And the only one who's drops down to 91 seemingly instantly? For a battery with 70 percent health, I just feel it's really lacking. Is it just stock Pie?
My wife just upgraded from a 6P to a P2XL and she's getting, with gaming, six hours SOT. The OG XL does charge extremely fast though so there's that I guess?
Battery on 86 already in just that typing... Am I the only one? Sorry for the rambling.
After uploading screenshots, 83 percent. ? These are just some I've taken. As you can see in the one, hour and a half SOT and 15 percent. How?
EDIT2: 80 percent and 20 minutes SOT

You can try resetting your phone and see if that solves the issue. Don't install any apps from the play store for a day and see how the battery drains. If it is still the same then you might have to replace your battery because that is not normal.
For one, do you play on your phone while it's plugged in? That is one of the main things that kills people's battery life. For two you can try to reset your battery AKA letting it die completely and then charging it to full with out using it, and do that for a couple days straight, usually fixes a lot of battery problems. Right now I am currently trying to let my phone die to keep my battery life healthy I do it all the time. I have 26 hours since last charge, and 4 hours on SOT, and I am still on 28%.
@snappycg1996 - have you tried anything yet? What helped, what didn't? I am having the same issue with my Pixel XL. It's got original battery and I get no more than 1.5 hrs SOT from full charge.
I know I should try wiping it, but really don't want to reinstall everything by hand and lose app data. The phone isn't rooted, so I don't know how to take a full backup of apps + data.
Pie, on-purpose, has made the battery life on this device utter ****e. Its only meant for newer hardware, go back to using Oreo, even there Google might push some services silently which won't produce the original good battery backup Oreo had. I myself get around 3-4 hours of SoT nowadays, however my phone is like 20-21 months old now. In any case, Pie is the main reason, other than the fact of your battery's age, for poor battery backup.
