high battery consumption by the Android System / OS? Its always on top. Is there a way to fix it or make it better?
Currently there is no Fix for Android os/Android system battery drain.
By the way its affecting whole Android ecosystem (Lollipop and later versions)
I think here OP can't do anything. Its a Google problem and Google must fix this problem asap with high priority
From screenshot shares by People, those with more sot have comparatively low android system usage. People who claim sot more than 5 hours with stock rom have more battery percent utilized by screen.

I too have low SOT with Android System using most of my battery. I am a light/moderate user though, and I kind of wonder if the high SOT people are just using it with the screen on more than I am, therefore just moving around, connecting to cell, GPS, etc. is eating most of the battery, hence the higher Android System usage. Is that a reasonable explanation?
It's rocketed for me recently. Used to get nearly 5 hours screen time and now I get around 3 or less. Not sure why!

Yes.
I am having the same problem, with Android OS / Android System / Cyanogenmod System using almost as much battery as the screen :/
Running Sultan's Rom, tried installing Mini Gapps, rebooting, flashing cache, complete wipe etc.
Nothing changes the battery drain.
Anyone found a solution?

What's your SOT?
Same issues which seem to be related to these topics:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/netscheduler-wakelock-t3471093
But ATM, even HEBF, Amplify or Disable Service fix didn't have solved this drain, for me
I thought it was due to bad signal / no signal in my work area but not. It happens every time with all ROM I have tested (OPLite, FreedomOS with several kernels). For example, I only got 3-5H of SOT in 24h use, with Android OS at the same level as Screen in Battery Stats
Any idea ?
Hello Everyone,
So from last week I have tried 5-6 different nougat ROMs (OSS Open beta 9/10, Official RR, RR by Eliminator)
am getting very bad battery drain like 18% per hour while phone idle. Also, Phone is warm to touch.
I tried to switch back to ext4 format that didn't help.
Also, I have no apps installed, no sim card, I did use SuperSU 2.79 with OSS.
I formatted data partition before installing every ROM
But somehow with EmotionOS I am getting good battery life and only 0.29% battery drain while idle.
Edit: I'm getting same results with CM13.

1. It is still a known issue. OnePlus will release a newer update (v4.0.2) the following week.
2. Of course, it wouldn't help. The only thing that F2FS has an advantage over EXT4 is slightly better read and write speeds (if I'm not wrong).
3. Use stable SuperSU v2.79 only. SR1 and SR2 are known to be battery drainers. Even though, they are not the real cause for it.
4. Some users it help and for some it didn't.
P.S. continue using EmotionOS or Freedom OS (I currently use) to get good battery life for now.

That's correct. I have my current ROM (Freedom OS v2.1.1 - based on OOS v4.0.1) and I have 5-6 hours of SOT.
It's worse than (Freedom OS v1.7 - based on OOS v3.2.8) which I had 6-7 hours of SOT.
But, let him decide the right ROM for him (no offense though). Maybe he wanted to test them all, I don't know.
Nougat is not very stable at all right now. I'm waiting for OOS v4.0.2 the following week. I hope it fixes 95% of the problems users experience.
Clean install and see if the issue persists without any apps installed.
Hi ! For me too. But I have a good deep sleep It's just when I use it System Android drain to much Battery same % screen on ?

You guys that do not do clean installs are the ones that generally have problems from old residual data that can cause a variety of issues. However, if you do a clean install, you will find that many of these problems go away. It helps to use the roms the way they were designed and used in the lab. I always wipe everything and do a totally clean install and I had never had these problems.

Normal users do OTA updates all the time, which are the norm - that's not a clean install, and it is how they were designed.

I recently purchased a P2. Every thing's good. Battery life is also better than most of the phones. But, one thing that I noticed is that Cpu usage is high in idle state too. I did a factory reset. But, the problem persists. I usually get around 8hrs SOT. I think that's lower than most P2's.
Is there a way to solve this? My bootloader is not yet unlocked. Have to wait 12 more days.
Thanks.
Wait 12 more days, unlock the bootloader and flash the DrainFix.zip that can be found in Lineage and RR threads.

Are you still on Marshmallow ? There was a bug that caused the cpu to stay at 1689mhz on some phones .
And Drainfix wont make any difference . It changes the governor from performance to interactive , but your already on the interactive governor .

I am now on nougat. But same problem. Already performed factory reset a couple of times. Cpu doesn't stay on 1689mhz. Now it fluctuates. But, still heavy usage from CPU.
Battery drains by 7-8% overnight.
I already installed Nougat, but the phone is sleeping as dead. Charged it to 95% last night, put it on airplain mode and today in the morning after 9h to battery is still 95%.
The android battery stats show that CPU is awake all time, but BetterBatteryStats shows that everything is fine.

Here is how it was for me.
I took phone out of the box with MM preinstalled and right after i turned up the screen and connected to my wifi network it asked me to update OS to Nougat 7.0 so i did. The bug that caused CPU stays at 1.69Ghz occures for 100% on Nougat, and you say on MM too ?
Anyways, for me, hard reset solved the problem, at least this one.
But battery drain still takes place. In normal mode 3-4%, in ultra power saving - 5-6% over night (5-7h). This is pretty a lot i would say.
ps: Phone goes into deep sleep mode according to BetterBatStats.
On p2 i get average SOT of around 13hrs

Thanks ill try it once im rooter in 9 days.
So far im very dissapointed with my bateery life. I get 8.5h over 3 days use. It's not really a good result as for such a battery and screen technology.
I counted exactly - 23% of battery went for standby. It's a lot, isnt it ?
Any ideas if its Nougat fault, or bad piece of phone ?
I think u need to drain your battery completely till the phone shuts down then recharge completely while the phone is off then power on and try

Systemless root under Nougat with magisk:
1. Format data partition to ext4.
2. Type in the recovery terminal :
echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" >> /data/.supersu
3. Flash the magisk12.zip
4. Reboot
5. Install Magisk manager
If you have another su like phh, will not work, you need reinstall the original boot image.
Should be around 0.2%/hr...

The only way to know the standby drain is normal or not, try install GSam Battery Monitor app...
As shown above, native stock ROM S233 should drain around 0.2% per hour, which in turn to be 0.2% x 8 hours sleep = 1.6% or 1.6% of 5,100mAh is 81.6mAh energy consumption...
Conclusion:
P2a42 can survive in airplane mode for 20 days on a single charge.

So, i just checked my Gsam, and here is what is says:
0.7%/h drain in standby which is more or less what im losing of battery juice over night. It's stick Nougat form OTA update.
Right now im at 44% and i switched into ultra power saving mode. It says that i have left around 51h. I dont think this is normal. Isnt it really very little time ?
It's just a little over 2 full days @ 44%
Damn...
Should i return this piece to store with complain i got faulty one ?
Can you please switch to ultra power saving mode just for a second and tell me what did it calculate aproximately as time left on battery ?
After update to 10.2.5.0 (global) I noticed The battery is drained much faster than before without changing any settings. It's seems to be caused by the radio. See screenshot. Any idea how to fix this?
what a while that you battery make recalibartion after few charges
It is already a few cycles after the last update and no change. I'm loosing around 5% battery per hour right now when screen is off. Phone is connected to WiFi and mobile signal is excellent, no challenging conditions here.
Try to turn off wifi scanning on location , maybe
Tap a few times on "About Phone" -> "Internal Storage" and in the Testing app that opens click on "Phone Information 1" -> "Set Preferred Network Type". Check that the setting is right for you (I'm in Italy and I have set "LTE/UMTS"). By default you should see something in the lines of LTE/TD-SCDMA and it's the wrong configuration outside of China.
Hi mate,
strange, i did update it yesterday and i didn't noticed any changement on the battery drain.
Changing preferred network type does not affect the battery lifetime. Also it switch back to defualt setting after reboot.

Yeah, it does indeed revert back to the default borked setting after a reboot, that seems unfortunately a bug that they need to address asap.
In my case switching network mode helped quite a bit. When I bought the phone it drained about 4/5% hour, now it's at a stable pace of 1% hour. It's still a bit too much and they need to fix the modem firmware as soon as possible, but in the meantime at least my phone is usable (aside from the broken notifications and the useless AoD).
10.3.x should fix quite a bit of bugs and should be out soon. The china version is already out so it should be a matter of days (or weeks)...
Are you guys using Global rom or EU rom?
EU rom is supposed to be better than global...

(Still Running stock 10.2.9.0)
Hi everyone,
I'm facing some battery drain issue after the last update RMX1993EX_11.A.15: athe the moment my phone can barely achive 5h of SOT (screen on time) while before the update it could easly reach 8h or more.
On the official Realme forum I have read there are a lot of user with the same problem but no one solved. I would like to downgrade to the previous versione but I can't find a way.
I tried to manually set which apps can run in background but not even this helped.
Does anyone noticed the same problem?
I have the same version and I also have a lot of battery drain, with the older version I haven't.
I feel you Bro. I'm in the same condition and there is no way to downgrade. Realme suggested me to disable a lot of function but also in this way I can't solve the problem and so I'm waiting for a new update. Crossed fingers.
Before update my x2 had arround 10h SoT, now less than 6h... wtf?
I don't have the same issue, but try to disable dark mode and update Google services (often associated with battery drain):good:

I've tried to disable the dark mode but it seems that it doesn't affect so much battery, i also searched for possible battery drain issue due to the version of the play services installed on my device but i found nothing, i'll give a try to your suggest hoping will fix che issue.
Is very disappointing, arround 40% less of batery life since last update.

I was evuating to install a previous one but I don't think it can really help. I also tried to reinstall the colorOS update via recevery but nothing changed.

Tried also this solution but nothing, in this case doesn't depend to google play services.
Does anyone has something different to test?
The only one solution is a new ColorOS version without battery drain bugs.
I've instaled the last update and the battery drain issue isnt' fixed, I would say that it is even worse.
The only way to achive more than 5h of SOT is to keep enabled the power saving and dark mode, limit all the possible app and don't use the phone (just kidding).
Does anyone know if it is possible to downgrade ?
The main problem is Always on Display. Turn it off! I moved from loosing 7-10% battery over night on my RMX1993 to 2% (with 4G data on) over night after I turned it off. Disable screen off gesture and use dark mode more often with auto adjust display brightness. Turn on smart battery saver on.
I still get around 9-10 hours SOT and two days on light heavy use.

If I'm not wrong, according to your stats you can reach at most 5h of SOT
