Is anyone else having big battery drain since updating to JB? I used to get 2 full days now i can't get 16 hours my phone is staying awake. I'm stock unrooted using juice defender plus. Thanks in advance.
I don't get as much battery I get about 8-14 hrs with 2-4 screen in time I use to get 10-20 hr with 3-4 hr screen on time. I hope they realise a update to help fix the issue seems like quite a few are having.

Yes. I suspect you're probably having the same problem as me. Ever since upgrading to JellyBean, the battery is horrible. Checked BetterBatteryStats, and it's because of msm_otg, it's constantly hitting the device with kernel wakelocks. If I look at CPU states, my phone has been in 384 MHz for 97% of the time, deep sleep 0% of the time. Since it's not sleeping, the battery is draining much faster.
It has something to do with USB on-the-go, but I can't figure it out.
I am having opposite experience. I am getting incredible(to me) battery life. Fully charge yesterday at 430pm and this morning after a bit of texting and calls, battery is at 80%. Pretty good and should be able to get at minimum 1.5 days usage out of it at current rate.
Also, disable Google Now. That's known to be a huge batt drainer.

Sorry for the noob question but how do you disable Google now, never used it so don't know which one it is. Thanks in advance.

This still didn't fix my battery problem. But you'd go to apps -> Google -> Settings -> Google Now. Press the on/off switch at the top right.

Thanks, we'll see how it goes from here.
Did notice my battery was draining more before JB. Once I downloaded JB my battery seemed to drain worse. Finally figured out it was Nova launcher, so switched back to TW and battery is back to normal, with google now on, mainly just get traffic and weather for now.

I apologize for posting in the wrong section. The battery drain continues even after disabling Google Now uninstalling Facebook, pandora and other apps and turning off gps, bluetooth. Andriod OS is staying awake and killing the battery. In data usage delete apps is running in the background at 43 mb? Anyone else?
For me it started with LI3 then into JB.
I noticed Media was at the top of my list when i checked what apps were using battery.
So i ended up disabling the com.sec.android.providers.downloads and so far i think this has helped get my device back to normal battery life..

I don't like any apps that are supposed to save your battery. they usually contribute to battery drain. get better battery stats and see what's causing wakelocks. it's probably location services related to google now. when you don't need it, turn off gps AND location services

Here's a possible problem http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21871-ro...y-build-discussion/page__st__2690#entry750372
I would be more concerned with partial wakelocks first, then kernel wakelocks second
enable restrictions and make sure your wifi isn't when not needed same with your Data. if you don't have 4g, turn on only CDMA data. went from 50% every 4 hours just to 15%

Facebook has always been a huge battery drain. Especially now that messenger is integrated into it. Friendcaster Pro is much better anyway

Exact same issue for me. I will try this.
I have had severe battery drain for a few days now. I disabled google now yesterday and that didn't change anything. My phone was constantly warm. Today, I turned airplane mode on and the battery still drained. It got down to 58%. I read somewhere in this forum that the google maps update was causing some battery drain so I uninstalled the update at 58% battery life. Three hours later I had 57% battery life. So, for now I can only assume that it was google maps that was consuming my battery. I will have to try updating maps again to make this a more concrete assumption.

Hi
I have received the Find 7a . Tho only issue I have with that is the huge battery drain when off ( even with data and wifi off )
Therefore I want to create a thread where we can share the solutions for this battery drain issue.
PS: I am running ColorOS 2.0 beta
cheers

I dont understand why people keep complaining about the battery. I use my 7a a lot and the battery lasts me just fine and I have Wi-Fi and GPS always on.

It's a known issue, I'm actually in a pilot group with a product manager and developer using a new firmware based on 1.2 that seems to help.
In the meantime, change the lockscreen from Colorlock as that has been known to hold a wakelock and disable Google's location services.
After I did that on 1.2 or 2.0 beta my drain shot down to .5%/hr.
I too am part of said pilot group that Sean mentioned and can confirm that a more battery saving firmware is in the works.
Give oppo some time to work the issue out, it's starting to look better.

Freezing applications/disabling them is basically the same as removing them, except that they still take up space on the system. You can freeze applications using Titanium Backup as you said and if you have root of course. If you want to completely remove the applications you should get a file explorer that can request root permissions, then look for the applications you want to remove, these can usually be found in "/system/app/" or "/system/priv-app/". You can also remove them using adb, this is a little more complicated though, if you want to do it this way I'd recommend you to Google it. Be careful when removing files from the system though, as you may run into some weird situations, you can always make a backup of course. (when restoring back-upped files, remember to set the correct permissions)
enabling google location services do not have impact on standby battery drain, seems changing the lock screen and freezing default launcher (I use Nova) helped

I'm on 2.0 beta, changing that to Revolving lock and disabling Google's location services (gimps the phone a bit sure but easy to enable and gps is still fine) and my drain is down to .6%/hr. Not too shabby, and will be testing tonight with location back on.
have been using the find 7a for nearly a week now. all i can say is...be patient, people! the first 2 days i had it, the battery drain is unbearable(8~12hr use and it's gone), but after 3~4 full cycle charged (start charging when below 10% then fully charged using 'battery doctor'), from the 4th day, the battery is amazing, easily get past 24 hours of use with data and wifi always on, screen on time 3 hours+ no problem. my current used time: 34 hr 26 m, with screen on 2 hr 7m, battery still 33%. Google location service is on all the time, Google now is off all the time. GPS off most of the time. running color OS 2.0 beta.
so be patient and charge your battery for few full cycles.
i hope this may help you guys.
Even Oppo has publicly stated the massive battery drain is a known issue affecting all Find 7a phones sold to date so I'm thinking denying there is an issue is a bit silly at this point. Also 2 hours screen time with 33% remaining is a terrible performance that sits at approximately half of what this phones current competition is offering.
Having has this from day one I would also point out that one of the problems associated with this is the inconsistency. I normally will see around 15 percent drain overnight but occasionally its as little as 5 or as high as 70. The problematic part comes in when you figure I've spent most nights testing some new scheme to see if I've made any improvements to the standy life.
Nor do I think its a good idea to accept excuses. On my N5 I never turned anything off, bluetooth, wifi, google now, location, etc. All on all the time and never had a problem getting 4 hours of screen time and never used more than 5% over night. That would of course make it nothing special since I haven't owned a phone since back somewhere around the sgs2 that couldn't do the same thing and there have been lots of phones between here and there. You shouldn't have to turn the phones features off to get the phone to work, being forced to means you are getting a sub industry standard experience. Calling it anything else is a lie.

I have been looking at this too, have it saved in my wishlist on the play store while investigating it. Clearing Google services framework cache, etc., is not really a feasible solution to battery drain in my opinion so something to fix the issue would be great.
Would appreciate any feedback you have on it. Thanks.

GServiceFix worked!
I had same battery drain problem on XPERIA ZR (100 to 0 in 12 hours, Google services taking 85%) and I installed GServiceFix and followed the instructions. Battery is normal after that (100 to 30 in 16 hours, GS taking < 10%).
One thing I noticed was the location settings, it had changed it to "High Accuracy" and was turned off. I though of changing it and turned Location on and mode to the "Low Battery". Within minutes the GS % jumped to 80+%. So I again changed the mode to High Accuracy and turned location off. Restarted the device, but still the battery was draining faster. So I had again run the GServiceFix which fixed the battery back.
I feel it has something to do with the location settings (had seen few posts on that) and that too applying those settings in a particular order. Just a guess though...
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.

I cannot disable it since it is comprised of multiple apps. You can see it in the pics on my last post.

So for the past 2 days my idle drain has been well over 2% with it currently sitting at about 4%. This is confirmed using ex manager. Previously my idle drain was less than 1%. Usually hovering at about 0.8%.
I find this very curious. Upon inspecting what's using battery I see nothing out of the ordinary. I cannot use bbs as I am not unlocked or rooted. My usage had been consistent, I have not installed any new apps. I don't get it.
Anyone experiencing anything similar? I guess if not and it's not some new temporary google play services thing my next step would be a factory reset.
Thane a million for your input.

I would start by rebooting into safe mode to see if this is reproducible. If not, then its a user app causing it. Did you add or update any lately? What build are you on and how did you get to it? As cool as I think the OTA process is I never fully trust it and always end up going back and "clean flashing" the OTA later.
Now, to be fair, this is the longest Ive ever been on stock in my life so ymmv.

I will give that a go. Thanks got the advise.
I have taken app updates as they become available. Not sure. Probably 15-20 apps have updated in the heat few days.
I am in the latest ota. I was on beta and updated to stable when it became available and then another update within the last week or so. Never saw a changeling for that one since it mirrored the Android 10 stable update.
I feel you on not running stock. This is the first device I have not felt the need to screw with. Usually that's step one. Unlock and root access. Saw you are working on a rom. I may give that a go when you get it up and running. I've run your stuff before. Solid.

Yea more times than not it's an app causing an issue.
Do you have always on display enabled? I found leaving that enabled definitely brings my idle way higher than I'd like it to go. With it off my idle is about 0.30%/hr on it can get up to like 5%/hr.

Yeah I've had that on though. It doesn't explain the discrepancy. I did a factory reset and am back to standard idle drain if about 0.7-0.8%. Thanks for the suggestion. I really appreciate it

Hi,
which apps do you use to check the drain in percentage?
I found that 4G standby (even without data switched off) started to drain faster when I travel. For example 6-7% during my 45 mins commute to work.
Strange is that battery usage app shown .. nothing that ate 7%, actually showing ... nothing.
No idea if this ia due to latest android but for sure I get less screen time 10 out of 11 hours.
Is it needful to download the image and flash or factory reset will do similar job?

Strange is that battery usage app shown .. nothing that ate 7%, actually showing ... nothing.
No idea if this ia due to latest android but for sure I get less screen time 10 out of 11 hours.
Is it needful to download the image and flash or factory reset will do similar job?

I just used the factory reset option and it fixed my issue. Make sure you backup all your data. After that Google has made resetting the device extremely easy. Back in the day I had to jump thorough a ton more hoops when setting up. Now data is backed up as are password and login credentials. You'll be back up and running within 20 minutes. Good luck.
