After upgrading to OOS 4.1.0 over OTA my Android System usage started to drain the battery. So i downloaded the full zip and did a complete clean flash of OOS 4.1.0. Even after that the Android System Usage is draining the battery. I'm attaching the screenshots. Any solutions to this ?
Clear Googleplay services cache and app data, then reboot.
Haven't tried it myself, though i have read it has helped many

Settings / apps / Google play services / manage data ( clear data )
Settings / backup and reset ( turn off backup )
Settings / battery , click the three dots at the top and check the power hungry apps and enable aggressive doze and whilst in aggressive doze settings turn on nearly all of the optimised apps just don't optimise things like phone , messenger , WhatsApp if you use them regularly ...
Hope this helps and if it does then please hit that thumbs up button it means the world to me....
are you rooted ?
This is probably not because of Google Play Services.
Can you share screenshot of "Android OS" battery usage as well? I bet it has keep awake time over 1.5hrs.
I also have a problem with my OP3 draining battery after android N
My battery is pretty much done in 12 hours with next to no screen on time...

I've tried the steps above but doesn't change the battery life at all

Snap. I have the same problem here too. Only thing I haven't tried was switching backup off, but I really don't want to live without it, it's just too useful now.
My battery drains even when the phones not in use. I had great battery time at the start (6 months ago) but now it hardly lasts for 20 hours with normal use. Wonder what they did with the OS or maybe its cheap manufacturing
**** OOS... I littery Switched to VertexOS for this reason and I don't see a difference other then Vertex being way more peformant and batfery friendly.
Yeah, happens me every week after a clean install despite all the play services data delete, cache, etc. Always ends up like this. Hopes it gets fixed, Nougat hasn't been going well on our OP3
Me too, heavy draining even when I don't use my phone ?
Did someone already seen this?
Huge wake-up alarm from Android with job.delay and job.deadline :s
Hello.
I've bought a G4 in March and only 20 days ago I've started to notice a odd and big battery drain. Android tells me it's "Android SO" consumption. What once drained like up to 5%, now drains more than screen. 20 days ago, battery lasted like 34h. With same usage now, turned 12h.
I've uninstalled the apps I've installed meanwhile, used it in battery eco mode and even on airplane mode, without any luck.
4-5 days ago I've installed Wake Lock Detector (no root, but with the right permissions) and Better Battery Stats. From what I understand from the reports, they don't blame any specific app but show thousands of wakelocks on Android SO. I believe sometimes it can be normal (for instance, when I run with GPS and music). Anyway, maybe the issue lies here.
What I find really odd is that those 2 apps say that the phone is awake more than 90% of the time. Like 1h of deep sleep only per full battery.
I could understand if someone says that it's the battery that had a great use already, but not only has 7 months of use, but also the phone behaviour changed (Android SO was never so high before, at least constantly).
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Suggest you check out and install the apps recommended apps on ✭[GUIDE][26-07-2016]Extreme Battery Life Thread(Greenify+Amplify+Power Nap)✭ at https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Read the OP thoroughly for each app discussed. The wakelock situation can be helped a good deal with Amplify and Greenify in particular - the paid versions - but I would also install AppOppsXposed - all require Xposed which requires root in order to be installed and I would also check out Power Nap to see if any incremental improvement.
You may a also want to run a malware scan ...
Thanks for the info. I checked it earlier, but most of those apps only run in root phones. I'm waiting for official Nougat in G4, mostly because haven't saw yet a Nougat image for this device without any problems, like camera not working, or such. I wouldn't mind to pay for apps that could work on this, but I want to avoid rooting. I guess I rather put Android 7, that has a bigger chance to even solve this problem, than root at this time.
Haven't said earlier but did a factory reset yesterday and device kept the behavior... I believe a hard reset would reduce almost to 0 the eventual malware problem.
No obvious alternatives for not rooted phones? Haven't this happened to someone else and been solved?
Thanks!
I had the same problem a few weeks ago...i was loosing ~30% of the battery at night with no wifi/data/gps etc. I tried everything...factory resets, different roms, greenfy & those kind of apps but the phone would not sleep. The last thing i tried was a factory reset and after i logged into my gmail account i set the phone as a new device...so no restoring apps and backups from my gmail account. Now everything is ok, my phone sleeps like a baby. I've read somewhere that it might be related with the syncing & backups....i don't really know, but you can give it a try.

Haven't tried that yet. I'll try to remove and add the device again, to avoid the pain of a new hard reset.
To have a reference, it was good to know an average percentage of other G4 deep sleep. If everyone has around 90%... maybe it's not a problem at all. The "sleep like a baby" is which percentage? Also, there are plenty babies that wake up hourly crying for a period of time...
Thanks for the tip!

My phone was awake >90% of the time(when screen was off), even in flight mode, when it had "the problem". Now things are back to normal...~2% awake when the screen is off.
Hello again.
Tried to reset a couple more times, tried to remove old phone register in my gmail account, but I wasnt successful.
How you did the
"The last thing i tried was a factory reset and after i logged into my gmail account i set the phone as a new device..."
?
Once it asks for my account, I'm not able to set it's a new device. I also did no restores... Is there a way to disconnect devices from Google account? I was only able to do so in devices I connected like one month, or more, ago, but not able to do so in the device I'm using at the moment.
One thing I did not try but that would confirm your thesis is to register device with a new account.
Anyone with an alternative?
I'm hoping LG really releases Nougat for G4 in 2017...
Today, the device returned to normality without any intervention. I can only imagine the following: since last factory reset I've disabled some apps I didn't used, like Google books, or Google music, but only yesterday I did a normal reboot (due to huge battery drain...). Eventually, some updates just took place after this reset. Anyway, even having imagined this theory, I don't believe in it. Wizardry, I bet.
My 5T is constantly losing battery due to "Android OS". I think it started when I updated to OOS 4.7.6 because it seems to have started within the last week or so, but I'm not sure.
I am currently sitting at 52% with 13 minutes of screen on time. 13 minutes.
https://imgur.com/a/Xfj7y
I know it looks like it's because of poor mobile connection, but that's how it's always been with T-Mobile in my area. Like I said before it hasn't always done this, so it isn't that.
I am rooted with TWRP and Magisk. Nothing too fancy just a couple of Xposed modules that I installed the same day I got the phone. So I know it's not any of those either.
I have already tried using Greenify to kill everything in the background, resetting app preferences, and wiping the dalvik and cache with TWRP. None of these has had any affect.
I really don't want to wipe and redo my entire setup, but it's looking like I might have to. Or even downgrade from 4.7.6 to a previous version.
I would appreciate any help and/or suggestions.
None here, been running 4.7.6 for a while. Mine is rooted, my wifes phone is stock, also running fine. Both average 7.5-8 of SOT.
No issues here.
Wow. Since updating to 4.7.6 I have been waking up in the morning to "xyz app" is draining your battery. Usually it is drive which I never use and other times its play services but its nothing like what you are experiencing. My setup has been exactly the same for over two weeks with no added or removed apps, the only difference is the update from 4.7.5 to 4.7.6. I had it dialed in where I would lose 2% overnight consistently but now I have apps draining my battery overnight and the loss is considerably more than that. Hope you get it sorted out :good:

Have you tried better battery stats app to check what's draining your battery? I use that app and it's pretty good.
My phone setup is pretty much like yours, just root with magisk and xposed , no issues here. I'm on stock recovery but TWRP shouldn't matter too guess

Do 1thing i also updated using VPN and m on 4.7.6 version but the battery life is great. I am not rooted just on oxygen Os 4.7.6 without greenify or any such apps. The battery is amazing always 7 to 8hrs and more slot easily. I just cleared cache from recovery and storage after updating and its also recommended on Oneplus site to clear cache after updating. It worked for me when previously i had battery issues . Try it should solve your problems.
Updated to 4.7.6 (full zip via stop recovery) when I got the phone (a week ago) and did a factory reset. Battery is very good for me.

I had this issue on my pixel and nobody seemed to be able to help or offer an explanation, your case sounds extreme like mine was, you could literally see the battery percentage dropping 2-3% per minute and the phone was running super hot.
No idea of the cause but I fixed it by a full wipe of everything, internal storage included, reinstalled everything from scratch no backup app or cloud or anything literally everything clean install.
Hope you get it sorted.
Edit -to clarify, when I tried a clean install of the ROM wiping data cache and system I still had the same issue when i had restored my setup, even in different ROMs, it was baffling. For me it seemed to be wiping the internal storage that cured it, I just backed up pics and anything else I didn't want to lose to my pc just wiped the lot, redone my whole setup from scratch and problem solved.
Just an update in case anyone ends up having the same issue. I fixed it by disabling WiFi. I have no idea why WiFi is causing the severe drain it does, but now I can easily go three days on a single charge and get 6+ hours of screen on time. Even though my phone reports a poor 4G connection almost all the time.
I hope this issue gets magically fixed in Oreo in the same way it magically started in 4.7.6.

That's weird, my phone is connected to wifi a good part of the day and I don't have battery drain. Wifi was on for 22 hours and I have 55% left. The phone is close to 2 days without a charge. I usually get 2 days out of with with normal use and 3 with lighter use.
Have you tested with an app like "Wifi analyser" how is your reception ? I guess it would eat more power with poor reception.
I've had my phone for 3 days, just started, I did the update and a factory reset directly.
I did a test by cutting the mobile data at night and over 8 hours I lose 1% on the battery.
So for me it's very good! :good:
4.7.6 here, not rooted, no such problem
I have this problem too. AndroidOS seems to keep downloading something in the background. I was able to make the problem go away by setting a static IP address in the WiFi settings.
I have used my Oneplus 5T for 8 month,recently the battery is total terrible ,for not use ,and just open one app,it drops battery from 70% to 17% in 3 hour !!And i charged it in 43% ,again drops to 10% in one hour ,then in mins closed without any battery.What a big joke ,i contact the customer of Oneplus ,respond very badly and does nonsense .Mine is 8GB 128GB android 7.1 ,a total rubbish now.Anyone in the same occasion?

Then please do not whine about having a bad battery life. Or when you do not want to update (although your reasoning is not logical as I am on 8.1 latest offcial which is working flawlessly) you could try doing factory reset.
I had OP's issue.
Clear Google cache
Clear Google Play cache
Reboot into recovery, clear cache.
I'm not sure what is required but I do all 3 and it fixes the Android OS drain. Fewer steps may do it? Never tried narrowing it down. My wifi is always off. Location (high) always on. (history/tracking off) App auto-update off.
Based on my circumstances I have a feeling it has something to do with google play app update notifications not coming thru due to bad signal but that's a guess.

Have u seen all ?Is a battery problem and worst customer support!!
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.
Hello,
2 weeks after Android 11 update, my pixel 2 xl started to feel hot and the battery was discharging quickly. On Google help, many people were in my case, and many of them mentioned about unstalling Tunein. Which I did, then my phone stopped to be warm but this didn't stop the drain issue. What I have noticed is that if I don't touch my phone, the battery acts as normal, slow discharge, but when I use it, meaning when the screen is on, the battery just discharges at a crazy speed. It was not like that just before the Android 11 update. Anyone got this problem and found the reason / a fix ?
Thanks
I am having the same issue. An have not found a solution as of yet. I thought it may be the Pixel Launcher. So I changed it to Nova Launcher with no change.
Yes, strange. Mine gets a serious battery drain from 100% to 50% in a short time, even when I don't use it. Then below 50% it is very stable as long as I don't use it. Never experienced this before.

I have the same problem. before that, I was calmly getting 4-6h SOT After updating to Android 11 as lucky as I get 4h SOT. Mostly, however, I have 2.5-3.5 hours. The standby time seems ok, Only during use the battery disappears very fast. ? In my free time I will try the factory reset.
I think i got it...
Hello gentlemen, i got this problem with october update in particular.
So, digging in a google forum i found a user who recommended to install an updated version of Android System Webview (maybe you should download it from apkpure or apkmirror) , Carrier Services and.... uninstall Tune-in (yep... the radio app)
I don't know which one did the trick... but it just did..
I hope it helps!
Can you comment which versions of carrier services and webview you installed?

Sure, i installed webview 86.04240 and (there was a mistake in my prev post) Device Health Services 1.17.0.331553323.
Anyway, i got 2 webview updates since then... so, just install the last one... if you got auto-updates enable you should have your problem fixed by now (i guess that happened to the op).

thanks for the info, unfortunately I checked and I have exactly the same version of the application installed. the problem with the battery remains. the strangest thing is that I have no problem with idle drain, but when used with the screen on, the phone uses almost twice as much energy as before ?
I have the same problem, idle drain is ok, but whenever I use the phone, the battery drains very fast.

finally someone with the same problem. did you do factory reset before updating to Android 11? Because I don't, and I think I'll try to do it.
NO, i didn't do a factory reset because I have seen a lot of people (online) doing it without success. You can see this thread here on Google support, over than 580 comments today...https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/70445129?hl=en
But apparently some people fixed the problem with a factory reset...

I had the same problem and it was a new (at least to me) Google program called "Digital Wellbeing". I had to turn it off, which wasn't a straight forward proposition. I even "uninstalled" which just uninstalled the updates and they came back.
I don't recall exactly all the steps I took, but I now have my trusty Pixel 2 XL back to it's previous battery usage. Which is excellent for a three year old device.
Anyway, turn it off, take away all it's permissions, and do everything you can to shut it down. I was almost ready to root my device just to really get rid of it.
I disabled digital wellbeing, stopped the permissions, and uninstalled the update on the play store, but it didn't fix the battery drain...

A few days have passed and I can see a significant improvement. Honestly, I don't know what actually helped. some app update or maybe something I did, but there's a significant improvement.
In general, I would like to remind that from the update to android 11 my battery was tragic but only when using it, there was no problem with standby.
I was barely able to get 4 SOT hours. Now I can safely exceed 6 hours.
The only modifications I made were:
- leave beta program of digital welbing and its complete shutdown app
- disabled wifi scanning
- disabled Location service for emergency calls ELS
Since then, battery consumption with the screen on has dropped from 25-30%/ h to 12-16%/h. The phone is like new again. In addition, everything works very quickly and smoothly. ??
