For last two weeks i was experiencing issues with high battery drain. My phone can discharge 5% in minute when it is locked and screen is black and when I am using it battery drain is even worse. It happend like snap of the fingers cos I woke up and this started happening and in addition fast charging stopped working. I haven't updated or changed anything. One day it was fine and second day this occurred. I figured out that it can be related to error in my os but after cache clear, factory reset, and kernel reinstall nothing changed. I checked my battery usage and two of Android os processes used 20% of my battery, cell standby used 10%, screen used 8%, and idle phone process used 2%. What can cause this issues?

My battery life suddenly became horrible this morning. Normally I unplug my phone every morning around 6AM, and i dont need to charge it again until closer to 9PM.
This morning, I realized that despite being on a full charge at 6AM as usual, my battery was completely depleted by 10. I checked the battery "app" and it said that phone idle and cell standby were both at 13% usage, and that was the most i had used my phone. it registered the full time (4 hours) of usage for those 2 but it also said that it was only responsible for 13 % of my battery drain each. After that there was google play services.
I figured it was just a fluke, so I reboot the phone and recharged it. Once again, the battery drained in a mere 4 hours. This time it told me a voice call of only 10 minutes length was responsible for 35% of my battery drain, and that having my screen on for a seperate 10 minutes was responsible for 25% of my battery drain. This might be fine and dandy if the actual draining chart showed a steep fall off when i made the call, but that is not the case. the chart is a straight line showing constant drainage with no steep or flat areas. I'm thinking something is definitely wrong and the phone is causing itself to drain. maybe something hardware oriented, since i dont even have very many apps downloaded.
I've literally only interacted with my phone maybe 3 times today, and I didnt even do anything major.
Do you guys have any ideas as to what is going on with it?
I'm CM10, latest stable. not the monthlies. no cpu hacks or anything, and as I said, this problem cropped up this morning. before this everything has been fine.
Please search for Better Battery Stats here on XDA. That thread has quiet a few tips on saving battery drain.

If I hadnt already made sure I was following the tips and I wasnt dead sure that something was the problem, I would not have made this post.
I did manage to figure out the problem by sheer dumb luck and a little bit of educated guessing.
I uninstalled the MyFitnessPal and tried again today. I'm exhibiting normal battery drain now (10 hours and im at 46% with not too much usage of the phone).
If you read the post I made, no apps were showing up as a large battery drainer, and all my stats were reporting incorrect times (13% battery usage for a 4 hour period despite showing me i only used the phone for 10 minutes). So something was definitely wrong. Uninstalling the app fixed the issue though, so for anyone who exhibits this problem, uninstall whatever apps you most recently installed and do a reboot.
I didnt have to reset or anything.
Hi guys. Im new here. I just wanna share about my Z1 compact latest battery problem kinda frustrated me lately.
I bought the phone 2-3 months ago, already with Android Lollipop 5.0.2. Since the purchase, I didnt really face a problem with the battery life as it lasted about 12 hours per charge due to my heavy usage of the phone.
But a few days lately, my phone being worrying me as the battery doesnt being as normal as always. For example, it can drain the battery drastically from 88% to 67% in a few seconds when the screen is off (in standby mode). Sometimes, in the middle of the usagefrom 39%, the phone suddenly shows the battery low warning with a 1% battery remaining, and without having enough time to reach the charger, it shuts down by itself.
In rare cases, I caught my phone drained the battery drastically when the screen is still on from 15% to 1% less in a minute.
The phone wasnt rooted and I didnt anything else besides my daily normal usage. The latest apps I downloaded before the problem occurred is Waze.
I tried everything to save the battery like using the Stamina Mode, force stops some apps, slides away all of the running apps in the background but failed. I even factory reset my phone and installed all the apps the way it used to be but still didnt solved the problem.
I still have about 8 monts of Sony warranty but I need you guys help first because I need to use my phone for work right now. Please help and reply.
Thank you. *Sorry if my English isnt that good*
When the battery jumps from 39% to 1%... Does it stay a long time at 39%? Or from 39 to 1 in few minutes?
Just curious...
Sounds like a warranty issue to me. You could try to find out what is causing heavy drain like with BetterBatteryStats. But no app ever should cause such drains.
Sound more like your battery is not okay.

The exactly same problem with me .I have 100% battery and indicator stays 100% for a half hour than drastically drains to 1% and shuts down.
Change your battery! I had the same Problem. I changed my battery with anotherone original from Sony, but a few weeks later the same Problem: quickly battery drain.
So I ordered me a battery from e-bay but NOT one from Sony! Now a few weeks later still NO Problems. Everything runs Ok now. NO battery drain at all.
So I updated my phone tonight and after it used 30% in an hour or so. All I was doing was using FB on it. Prior I played PAD for 15 minutes and it hardly used 5%. I've wiped cache, cleared app cache, and now I'm working on a full discharge from 100%. The battery is brand new and it was getting better life prior to the upgrade. So much for 3x better battery I guess?
After clearing caches I left it idle ofer night. It used 13% for 20 minutes of screen time. and then it used 3% idle over the 5 hours I slept. Still seems a bit high on usage for screen time but idle is great.
So I discharged it completely and now its losing power fast again. The battery was 100% unplugged it and turned it on and its 97%. So I turned it back off and checked it and its also showing 97%. Charge it back to 100%, turn it on, its on 100% but loses 1% in a second. Plugged it in while onand it took like 3 minutes to charge that last 1%/ No idea why. The battery is brand new and got 2 or 3 days on idle before, now it reports 20 hours. what happened to that 3x better battery? What else can I do to sync the battery properly? I also noticed 100% is not 100% until the phone tells me battery is charged.
Again this battery is brand new and my life with 5.1.1 was pretty good.
I've been having poor battery calibrations in EPH7, though my battery is still what came with the phone.
There are days I can get to about 5? left before the phone dies, and there are days it dies at 15?..
Already tried charging all the way till full while the phone was off, still the same. It's random, but I just generally expect the phone to turn off as I come close to 15?.

That sounds like a bad battery. I can get my phone to drain down to 0% before it dies, but the battery usage can be erratic.
After some testingm the first 5% (95-100%) does down fast but after that it can go a pretty good while. Not sure why. I left the screen on with max brightness, turned on NFC/wifi/bluetooth and just left tons of apps running and it took 4-5 hours to get the battery down to 20%. the life is in fact great just not properly synced. No root makes it more of a pain to calibrate.
So I charged the battery offline and it got to 100%. I switched it on and it shows 97%. What the hell has marshmallow done to my note?
last post. If I charge the phone formt he OS it reaches 100% seemingly properly and doesn't discharge quickly. Not sure what marshmallow screwed up.
I had the same issue with my battery draining quickly after the upgrade. I backed up all of my data and then performed a master rest of the phone and then went into recovery and cleared cache as well. Once it booted back up I reloaded all of my apps and reconfigured all my accounts and my battery acts normal once again. It was a pain in the ass to do all of that but it did work for me so hopefully it works for you too.
Hi everyone, I am running HTC 10 marshmallow stock rom (My country doesnt have nougat update yet) and I faced some problem with the battery recently. I went to travel in iceland for about 2 days, and after i came back I realised a rapid drain in the battery power even during idle.
Below are a few tests that I carried out,
1. I charged my phone to full and carried out the default battery test by typing *#*#3424#*#*. The results was 6% of battery drain with screen on for 1 hour at maximum brightness in airplane mode. From the htc 10 customer service team, they said this shows that the battery wasnt faulty ( The battery is faulty if battery % drop below 70% in an hour).
2. Then i switch to safe mode to check if it was the background apps that causes the problem, even worst, the battery over night in extreme power saving mode was dropped by about 40%. I factory reset the phone.
3. The next day I do the same thing as (2), but this time with airplane mode, the battery drained over night still about 40%.
The battery usage from GSAM apps shows nothing unusual going on in the background at night.
I have to charge my phone at least twice, once before i sleep and once after i woke up, i sleep average of 7 hours a day.
My question is, since its not battery issue, after i factory reset the phone this problem shouldnt persist, can somebody explain to me before i decide whether to send in for repair? Sorry if the thread was repeated.
Attachments below shows the batter drained
This is the battery reduction graph during safe mode tests
There must be a rouge app running somewhere.
Your phone doesn't seem to be "sleeping" at all.
It's whatever is causing the extremely high (100%) awake time, that is causing your battery to drain so quick.
Would be helpful if you could send a screenshot of the main stats page on gsam. Example below: (from my M9)
Anyone else seeing massive overnight battery drain? I posted about it int he XDA_RealLifeReview thread but that gets very little traffic...
I see ~20% - 25% battery drain overnight. Settings are factory default with the exception of a few that have to be set as not optimized. Exact same ones as my old 6T which only had a few % drain over the same time period. Last night I went to bed at about 12:15 am with a 33% battery. Woke up at 7:30 with a 13% battery.
Before I went to bed I cleared out all recent apps. The battery usage is a pretty constant continual drain regardless of day or night.
Anyone else seeing this? Suggestions? I think tonight I'll put it in airplane mode and see what happens. It's like the phone will not go in to a low power mode at night...
Factory reset.
I too have the same issue .The phone drains a lot sitting there still.I guess it's cuz Android 10 isn't optimised as Android 9 for op7t .
Yeah noticing the same.
I'll be getting the device soon. What OxygenOS version does this problem occur in?
Maybe it's a latest version bug, did you notice it before with the OS out of the box?

Did a factory reset - didn't restore anything - not noticing a difference.
Used airplane mode last night (but kept Bluetooth on for my watch) and only lost 5% in 7 hours. Much different than the other nights!!!
I would check app usage during the overnight drain. For the last two nights I have only seen 5% drain which isn't ideal but it may get better as the system adjusts itself.
