Hi, I created a thread about battery drain I have been experiencing for few days. I managed to find 1 wakelock - net_scheduler from google services. Anyone else experienced this wakelock and managed to get rid of it?
TY in advance
I have all converted to google dialer contact cal calc everything I had on battery 24 hrs and it only used 16% screen was at like 18-20% at close to a half hr give or take a few min screen on time and I was in a place most the day was cutting from no service to roam to 3g and to lte all while was at work my battery was at about 78% from full charge 24 hrs ago so I don't think I have seen this problem now u could try a clean install of a ROM and it may be all u need a good full wipe
Edited
I also for got to say I also use Naptime it help a bunch as far as battery and making things in deep sleep so help with drail on battery
i got rid of this issue after deleting UserData /Internal SD and fully reinstalling my system.
There must be an easier way though ^^
I managed to solve this issuue. It was google play services that kept waking my phone up. Installing older version fixed that issue.

Which old version did you install that's not plagued with this dreadful wakelock issue? I'd appreciate if you shared the version number
I downgraded to 9.2.56 but didnt stay with this version for too long as i couldnt use google keep and i had no notifications from gmail. Im using 9.6.83 and i think the net_scheduler wakelock is gone but cant say it for sure as im constantly using it.
I'm positive it's the Google Play Services. Had the 9.6.83 before and it drained my standby of 30+ % of 7 hours bed time.
I uninstalled it and went back to the 9.2.56 / restarted / and updated it back to the 9.6.83 again / It's been back to normal for couple of days now.
Seeing this problem on all android phones of the people I know.
To fix this:
First install the latest version: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-9-8-75-release/
Then erase google play services data and then restart the phone. That´s all.
Worked like a charm on my Nexus 5 also! Thank you!
Thanks for the tip. Just installed 9.8.75 and will see how it works out.
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.

Maybe but I use the Google App and Google Now all fine without a crazy overnight drain like he was describing.

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.
I deleted the cache in storage and no drain since this morning

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?
Hi to all,
My android system from yesterday started to drain a lot of juice from my nexus 5X.
I have a non rooted phone and betterbatterystats with permission installed to check the process. I still can't manage what's wrong as there are so many other processes into Android System.
Is there a way to check wich one is causing the drain specifically?
Anybody experienced an high Android System drain this days?
The phone does not even go to deep sleep and it's always a bit warm so something is surely wrong.
Thanks in advance!
Hey,
i had the exact same issue no matter what rom i was on. Stock / debloated / purenexus, anything you can think of, including rooted and non rooted phone and held on the rom for at least 4 to 5 days. EX kernel with saving profiles didn't fix it either. No matter what i did (sync off, 2g network, no gps, no wifi on sleep,google hotword off etc) i had huge standby drain. Now, the culprit in my case was Google Connectivity Services and a qualcomm.com. +something i had to freeze after looking it up. It was a service that automatically switched from mobile data to wifi or vice versa i think, don't have my phones with me atm. Currently running on FEB Stock, rooted only to remove these 2 apps. Could help your case as well.
Cheers
Edit: Found it. It is Qualcomm's CNEService app, at least for me i can confirm that after removing this and Google Connectivity Services, no drain and mobile data/wifi/gps work just great and as intended.
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.

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.
Hi, whenever I'm on a call on WhatsApp, Messenger, or any other social media, I can't use any internet related apps or my call starts dropping, and the other app also stop connecting to the server or whatsoever. As an example, I can't check FB, or use Chrome while on a call. Sometimes WiFi connection just disconnect and reconnect after a little while of trying to use two apps together while on a call. It also happened back in MiUi 11 android 10, I don't remember if it was on Android 9, but most likely. Am I the only one with this issue? I can surf internet on my pc even watch videos on YouTube without affecting the call quality on the phone, so my internet speed has nothing to do with it. Locked bootloader, MiUi 12, formatted after installing the new OS to make it trouble free, but nothing helped. Can anyone please tell me if I can downgrade this to an earlier version without getting this bricked? I know I have to unlock the bootloader, but I'm confused with that anti-rollback index or whatever it is called. Also Battery usage was 2 days before MiUi 12 with 8-10 hours display on time and now it's just one day. Appreciate your help. This is my first Xiaomi device and will be the last
1. There is a known issue with Wifi interference when Bluetooth is on. Are you using BT when talking on whatsapp? Unfortunately based on my research this is a hardware problem involving the wifi 2.4 Ghz and BT radios which interfere with each other and cannot be fixed via a software update. Downgrading will not help, and is a pain in the a** anyway because of Xiaomi's restrictions. A workaround is to use 5 Ghz (which is a different frequency than BT) or turn BT off when you need good wifi bandwidth.
2. For most people including myself battery usage is about the same with MIUI 12 as with 11 so if you are seeing a significant difference, your best option is to install Acubattery and try to determine which one of your apps is draining the battery. This is almost always the cause. There should not be more than a slight decrease compared to MIUI 11. Should be about 40 hrs including about 10 hrs SOT.
1. Thanks for the info.
2. It's weird, I never had the same battery usage on MiUi 12 even before I format the mobile. Also I've used Accu Battery app more than a week and each day after 80%-90% charge session, it started to drop battery health by 1% for last 3 days I used and I simply deleted the app finding it useless or it's my lack of knowledge ?
With Accubattery were you able to see which service or app was draining? Was the phone going into idle/sleep mode?
