No gaming, no intense use, no gps, no nothing... Just normal use: calls, social media, a few photos and that's kinda it..Look at this! Why is this happening to me?
26% usage by apps is a good place to start looking. Perhaps wakelocks or some rogue app in the background chewing up battery when the screen is off.
I just installed gsam pro. What could it be?
So the phone loses about 1% every 10 minutes without doing anything... What could it be?
Any help would be much appreciated. Could it have something to do with the system still settling up? I've had this phone for three days now.
This is what i got today.
Sometimes I'm getting decent battery with always on display turned off.

7% by voice calls, more than 1,5 hrs of talking.
what is eMAG? 10 minutes had consumed 7% of whole battery. Too much
And your Chrome is probably set up unoptimal, do you have all ticks checked in safe browsing? It's the reason Chrome eats too many %

I'm on the ViperOne ROM and what would you recommend to save battery life? (Whether it be apps, a battery saver, etc.) I'm getting on average about 8-10 hours. I feel like it should be much more than that but who knows I'm probably wrong and that's the norm lol.

8-10 hours from 100% to 0%? It seems very low. There are people that can squeeze as much screen on time out of our M8. Maybe try an app like GSAM Battery Monitor or BetterBatteryStats to see if you have any wakelocks or any rogue apps that suck your battery.
You could also try Greenify which hibernates apps that are not active to conserve battery.
But my opinion is to reflash your ROM with full wipe and no tweaks or apps installed, run it for 2-3 days and check if you see a difference.
Using stock ROM and managing to get about 13 to 14 hours with 6 to 7 hours of on-screen time, depends on my usage which is light to moderate. Don't know if that's good enough though... however I'm satisfied with these stats. I know that I can achieve better though.
Performed all textbook instructions on how to increase battery life, switch off location services or put it on battery saving mode, increase your sync intervals or switch that off too.
I disabled 4G and got a lot better battery times from that only. 3G speeds are fine for me and im usually near a wifi network anyways.
And you can always enable 4G for those rare occasions where you need really high internet speeds and there's no wifi network nearby.
I come from an Xperia T. Got almost 1,5hours of screen-on time. Now this phone, it is madness. As student that uses his phone a lot, with 3/4G, wifi,... I am still impressed. On a normal day I can get 2 full day's with like 3hours of screen on time a day. For someone looking for good battery life, I think this may be one of if not the best phone to get!
I'm losing about 8.3% battery life an hour according to the GSam app. There doesn't seem to be anything out the ordinary either.

To be fairly honest, I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary here, apart for your wakelocks and since you've been doing a lot of gaming, I presume they are pushes from your games?
Also your percentage per hour is fairly decent if not good and 6 hours of on screen time is decent as well.
What you could try to do is disable push notifications from your apps as well as reduce your sync intervals for your social media applications.
If nothing helps, I would suggest a reset but that's only if nothing's changed over the coming days.
Keep us posted on how your battery is holding up bud.

Thank you so much for looking it over. I'll take a look at them and see if there's a way to turn them off and if it helps.
I'm running PA with Furnace and yesterday I got over 7 hrs SOT using Wifi. I was on reddit, playing games, videos, etc.. For me, coming from a Gnex that is awesome and I couldn't be any happier.
I use Greenify and the clear recents option. Kernel settings are stock besides Eco Mode, Max to 1728000 and Vibration Strength to 1300.
Putting governor on conservative also helps a lot, but your phone will be a bit slower, but not unusably slow though. According to GSAM my average is 19H40M of which 7H40M is SoT. I always have my phone on conservative, pretty much always on WiFi but when I'm not it's on 4G, auto brightness, always on power save mode, auto sync enabled, location on but on power save mode.
I also use greenify which helps a lot too ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify )

Not sure if this was a question or statement.. If your not rooted, root it immediately, then remove whatever bloat you have. I would also greenify everything, and that should give you much better battery life. I went from stock rooted barely getting 3 hours, to almost 6 hours after I rooted.
Try out lux for your screen auto dimming and juice defender or green power to help out.
Battery is comparable with Note 3 if you managed to disable sync when not in use. Mine can usually last one day without changing battery.

I don't buy three days almost. Was the phone sitting in a drawer on WiFi? Did you ever use it? I get an average of 15 hours at 50% brightness with mixed usage. YouTube, Netflix, gmail syncing, SMS, calls, a few games mixed in. I average around four hours screen time. I just can't see 70 hours of usage.

I had 3.5 hrs of screen time and like I said that is my record for battery life.....no synching, no wifi notifications...... I typically average over 24 hrs on battery.easily. I'm rooted, running zonerom. People that get 8hrs or less don't have their phone set up right. Plenty of info in XDA how to maximize battery time.

Itchy. Tasty.
I just had to, sorry.
I wouldn't say battery life sucks but it is definitely not what I expected. It lasts me all day without boosting, but I can't go without charging overnight, unlike my OPO. I charge my OPO every other day. The G3 must be charged every night. Not a big deal, because I am used to charging my phone every night while I sleep. But considering the G3 and OPO are essentially the same phone except for the 1440p display, that shows what the G3 battery life could have been if LG had gone with 1080p.
Battery sucks doesn't really present much of a platform for helping you. I get all day usage from my phone on a single charge over night, that's all I ask from a phone. Screen time will vary from just shy of 4hrs to my best of 6hrs. I have 2 email that sync, web browsing, bt all day with my gear, calling and texting with minimal gps usage and turn on and off gps and Wi-Fi as I need.
Post some screen shots and let us know your usage habits, are you stock or have you rooted, what apps you use frequently and what you are doing to conserve battery life. With that information perhaps we could help out some. I will also second greenify. It does help.
Anyone have feedback on SOT?
Anecdotally, about 3 hours SOT. But my signal isn't great, and I'm a moderate user.
I'll post some screen shots later. But it's above average battery life. 3 hrs SOT usually. Using it with LTE and no Google now service. Lasts around 16 hrs.

Here is the usage. Not that great but manageable.
Actually, I'm getting a pretty awesome SoT: 6 hours, with light-moderate usage (mostly reddit and G+, some Youtube, Hangouts and Chrome). Auto brightness is on, sync is on, 3G on (although I'm on wifi) and NFC is on.
Mind you, I don't use any crappy battery-draining apps like WhatsApp/Facebook/Snapchat/Viber.
So...6 hours SoT but your screenshot shows just over 3?

Battery seems to be sliding more quickly here. Time will tell.
Looking forward to getting some custom kernel love on this device tbh.
UPDATE: I'd call myself a moderate user as I don't really game much.
I'm getting pretty horrendous battery life. Looking at it dropping a percent near every couple of minutes, maybe less, of use. I left work at 16:00 and I've dropped from 50% battery (minimal use from 06:20 this morning), to 24% while I type.
That's just not acceptable. I'm looking at getting barely 3.5hrs SOT at this rate.
I thought it would settle but it hasn't. I've got Greenify pro and even hibernated Facebook and Messenger but I'm not seeing too much of a difference.
Phone also appears to get hot with certain task very very easily. Particularly when browsing. Might try a different browser, but if the problem, this is therefore only a workaround.
The Robin is my wife's phone. She charges it each morning before work and after 24 hours usually is down to around 35-40% and will have at least 2.5 hours of SOT.
She uses Wi-Fi at home, and I think all of her SoT is in chrome. She uses Gnow and has location set to high accuracy.
This morning she didn't charge it and was at 62% but I didn't check her usage stats. Tonight she'll be at 36+ hours off the charger and I'll check it then.
Yesterday was an incredible day for battery. Hit a magical 5 hours of SOT. Normal usage, but I am a light to moderate user.
Please define light to moderate user if you can? I have emails, Gmail, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc all syncing and use mainly chrome, YouTube and the above apps..I'm seeing close to 3 hours SoT with GPS Bluetooth and wifi always on.

@Wiggz - I use Messenger, Facebook, Bacon Reader, Twitter, Inbox, and Chrome most of the day. I have GPS off since I don't really use Maps too often and brightness was at about 50-55%. I also don't have a BT device, so BT is off as well.

I haven't used it for much more than GPS driving. An hour and a half with screen constantly on used up about 16% of the battery, indicating slightly over 9 hours.
3hrs SoT isn't better than average, 4hrs is average.
So no one is getting good battery life? 4 hours screen on is AVERAGE. You should get that with LTE enabled and using twitter, reddit, youtube, etc.

If you are going to use Facebook and the Messenger app you will never have decent enough battery life on any phone. Those are some of the worst apps developer could have made and consume A LOT of battery in background. If you remove those two apps I can almost guarantee that your battery life will be improved by 20-25%.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the OnePlus 3 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

SOT really depends on usage, and whilst I was one like many here that is obsessed with SOT, I've started to just use phones without really worrying about it. Plus Dash charge is a great addition (aside from having to carry the charger with you).
Used a few apps, specially Snapchat and Whatsapp. Got a screen on time of 3.5 hrs on 4G. Decent yeah. OPO had a tad bit better.

What's the stand by?
I bought it on the launch day and conducted the test the next day after a full cycle. At precisely 5 pm I unplugged the device, at 100%, Connected to wifi with brightness at 25%, with auto brightness off. The phone was at 3% the next day at 4 pm. I got about 5 hours and 15 minutes of screen on time, moderately heavy usage, the phone only lost 6% overnight. Made 15 minutes worth of phone calls, light gaming, lots of browsing and video watching. And some apps with location as well. My previous phone was a oneplus one and for my usage, it seems to be giving me better battery life.

Unless you have poor cell reception at home id turn off wifi calling then. Most public wifi won't allow wifi calling anyway so it doesn't serve much purpose if it drains your battery that bad.
