Massive battery drain - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Hi
I'm running NDE63L with root
I've noticed massive battery drain over the past few weeks with Android OS and Android System responsible for 21% of battery drain.
How do I fix this?
Thanks

update your phone

I had this before and I noticed media server appeared in the battery usage list as well so I cleared Chrome data cache then all was fine after

Data causing High Android OS Usage

Hi, i am suffering from massive battery drain on my gnex, i have noticed that android os uses approx 50% of my battery, which almost making my phone unusable. I have noticed today that when i switch my data off, i dont lose any battery life compared to when i leave it on and the percentage for android os reduces significantly. i am currently using franco's kernal and before that leankernal and suffered the same issue on both, i have also tried opening the camera after reboot which someone suggested but it doesnt work for me, does anyone else have the same issue and is there a fix to the issue as i would like to have data on.
Thank you
Also check data usage and disable background data of app that continues to update. This will also extend battery life.

I have checked the data usage and Android OS is using 775KB of data, so when data is on it must be keeping it awake which uses more battery
using juicedefender may help you it has very good radio controls that will turn off or on your wifi and data connections depending if you device is on or in sleep mode.
Also for your battery is the OS just showing 50% of the battery usage in the bat stats section ? If so that is NOT 50% of your battery that it has used. that simply means that of the percentage of USED battery the OS has used 50% of that. if your battery is at 50% and your OS in bat stats says 50% it has actually used only 25% of your actual battery.
OS is normally near the top of the bat stat list alongside the screen. unless you are playing games.
its normal

Yesterday i let my gnex battery die and android os almost used 50% with 3% battery remaining, understand where you are coming from, but i have explored the issue further and battery drain is significantly higher when connected to 3g, i will upload a screen shot soon to demonstrate the issue

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy

Excessive Battery Drain due to Android System

Guys please help me out...
I'm facing serious battery drain since yesterday. Was previously on ARHD 21 till yesterday...but observed increased battery drain during the night...battery reducing by 1% per minute in idle conditions...found the phone completely discharged in the morning...i thought maybe something has gone wrong with the ROm so wiped clean my phone using ARHD script...then flashed new boot image and installed ARHD 22....
unfortunately...the problem still exists...another important symptom...excessive overheating of the phone, especially near the camera...
in the battery stats section, Android System, Android OS are the top two with combined consumption of more than 70%...i have no clue why this is happening and hasn't stopped even after a superwipe and fresh rom installation....is there a more stable kernel that i can flash? please help me
Update: I moved to Blade ROM and the problem still persists...can it be that there's a problem in my sd card content?
Android System covers a lot of processes, use an app like better battery stats or gsam battery monitor to determine which services/processes exactly are causing the drain. If you've flashed a new kernel then the most important thing to do is wipe the dalvik cache, failing to do that can cause drain/fc errors in its own right.

I went to recovery and cleared the dalvik cache but the problem still exists...the phone is constantly hot and battery is draining like anything...i'm installing better battery stats...can you guide me as to how do i locate the problem using the app?
The app will give you options to check battery usage either by app, process, or partial/full wakelock i.e. what process wakes the phone up from deep sleep. If it's constantly hot then it seems like some process is constantly running or unable to stop, for example if you restore an app like facebook from a previous rom it may be constantly trying to sync without authorisation, etc.
Check out proccess and i happen same problem, but i see its problem with wifi receive signal, its forced the battery wifi have bad receive signal.
I think its related at problem hardware (wifi with bad signal), battery is very hot and turn off wifi and come normal temp.

I am having the same problem after upgrading to ARHD 31.2 battery drains quickly while I am using internet.

Huge battery drain

First let me give you my phones state
Full stock
Was on Feb update, yesterday (after 2 days of the issue) manually flashed through android recovery to march update and bug fixes.
Not rooted.
The past 3 days my nexus 5x battery has been draining very rapidly (97% down to 32% last night), nothing has changed in the system that i've done and no apps updated aside from google docs and amazon I think. I had installed a few new apps (All4 and iPlayer)) but have since removed these to remove them from a list of culprits. Prior to this battery life was brilliant.
Currently in the process of resetting to factory to see if the issue is more deeprooted. If this fails however im not sure what else it could be besides my battery dying.

Check what drains your battery. I had simillar problem.
When I opened the battery screen i saw quite large drain from some service 10112
I was able to open the service and notice it had something to do with GPS and it basically turned the GPS on without my permision (i had gps turned off)
Then i noticed it even set the GPS to high accuracy and that caused the drain. I switched the gps setting to battery saving and the problem was fixed.
However, I still havent fixed it fully because last night it turned itself on again, and my battery dropped from 79% to 65% within hour.
I did the same thing and it stopped the drain again.
Ok thanks will see if it happens tonight after full reset, I did check battery screen but the highest on there was Google play services and even that wasn't that high (4% and some small mah figure).
I permanently leave my location on battery save and previously have had no issues.
Did you restore from a previous backup? Do you have Snapchat?
No backup as not rooted etc. No snapchat.
Just reset device and reinstalled. All seems fine over the weekend no unusual battery drain.

Heavy Battery drain from Android System after upgrading to OOS 4.1.0

After upgrading to OOS 4.1.0 over OTA my Android System usage started to drain the battery. So i downloaded the full zip and did a complete clean flash of OOS 4.1.0. Even after that the Android System Usage is draining the battery. I'm attaching the screenshots. Any solutions to this ?
Clear Googleplay services cache and app data, then reboot.
Haven't tried it myself, though i have read it has helped many

Settings / apps / Google play services / manage data ( clear data )
Settings / backup and reset ( turn off backup )
Settings / battery , click the three dots at the top and check the power hungry apps and enable aggressive doze and whilst in aggressive doze settings turn on nearly all of the optimised apps just don't optimise things like phone , messenger , WhatsApp if you use them regularly ...
Hope this helps and if it does then please hit that thumbs up button it means the world to me....
are you rooted ?
This is probably not because of Google Play Services.
Can you share screenshot of "Android OS" battery usage as well? I bet it has keep awake time over 1.5hrs.
I also have a problem with my OP3 draining battery after android N
My battery is pretty much done in 12 hours with next to no screen on time...

I've tried the steps above but doesn't change the battery life at all

Snap. I have the same problem here too. Only thing I haven't tried was switching backup off, but I really don't want to live without it, it's just too useful now.
My battery drains even when the phones not in use. I had great battery time at the start (6 months ago) but now it hardly lasts for 20 hours with normal use. Wonder what they did with the OS or maybe its cheap manufacturing
**** OOS... I littery Switched to VertexOS for this reason and I don't see a difference other then Vertex being way more peformant and batfery friendly.
Yeah, happens me every week after a clean install despite all the play services data delete, cache, etc. Always ends up like this. Hopes it gets fixed, Nougat hasn't been going well on our OP3
Me too, heavy draining even when I don't use my phone ?
Did someone already seen this?

Android 11 update - battery drain

Since update to official Android 11 version I'm getting serious battery drain:
- overnight drain - 10% (WiFi, 4g and bluetooth off)
- 3.3% drain per hour
- according to GSaM battery the main culprit is...Chrome?
So I've tried to:
- clear data and cache for Chrome
- force stop
Same behaviour.
Anybody else?
The users are reporting of unexpectedly high battery drain when the Google started pushing Android 11 update to the Pixels last month. Google is testing a new feature on Android 11, in order to improve battery life. This feature will allows users to freeze apps while they're cached, preventing their execution and improving battery life.
I don't think it affects everyone. Maybe exynos? I get the same battery life now as before upgrade 11, I use opera browser. I got the 8gb snapdragon version.
I do have Snapdragon version.
As per battery stats the issue seems to come from Chrome.
My only solution here it would be a hard reset but I don't want to install everything...
Is this update One UI 3.0 or 3.1?
I don't use chrome anymore battery hog
It's One Ui 3.0
Disabling completely Chrome has solve the issue for me.
Ok no issues for me thus far seems to be the same before update, i also have chrome. I will monitor as well, if so i will switch thanks for the heads up.

I have the same issue with my S20+ (Snap). The amount of time spent on Chrome is same (or much less) than on FB or Messenger but the usage is huge. Every 10 minute of using Chrome drains 3%. Thats a lot say you browse the webs for an hour (close to 20%). I already uninstalled, reinstalled, clear data, cache, whatever it is. It still exists and is very annoying
