Battery ??

I'm down to 25% after only nine hours and I don't understand why.. Lol I'm confused for real I thought rooting would improve it. And I've only actually used the phone for probably 50 minutes. Any help or suggestions
Sent from my Dinc running cm7 with incredikernel

search around for suggestions. to start off control data usage,sync control,use auto brightness,turn toggles off you don't need uninstall or freeze apps especially those that run in background for no reason that fail to cache. use a different kernel. do some undervolting. overclock and underclock when necessary.use tasker to setup screen off/on profiles for different min/max frequency ranges and governor selection,use apps to monitor usage such as drain guard and cpu spy. check apps that hog too much unwanted usage. the list goes on. if you do your research you could save yourself 70% of battery usage. using tasker alone saved me around 30%. for example my phone is fully charged before bed,I sleep about 6-8 hours while listening to music and I have about 80% once I'm awake.nothing on besides the phone's cellular radio,no gps,no data on,no 3g,no wifi,etc. not even airplane mode so sms isn't queued all night. tasker can also auto turn off gps once gps based apps are killed so it's not always on,plenty of threads on battery saving tips,majority aren't all device specific so they're universal tips

I thought the kernel helped it. But Never mind on this post, I didn't realize that a friend downloaded a couple of apps that were running constantly in the background.

agreed rooting won't do anything for your phone unless you put it to good use (uninstalling bloat apps, loading a custom more battery and performance efficient kernel, same with a better ROM, as well as countless performance/battery mods)
There are so many ways to improve performance and battery life on your phone with root, but you have to actually apply them to your phone.

before i flash adrenaline am i supposed to wipe anything?

Rooting doesn't improve battery life. usually a custom kernel or rom will improve battery life. It all depends what you are running in the background. With Nil's Gingersense 3.5 (2.2) and tiny's latest kernel I am getting unbelievable battery life. This is in part to how well both of these things work together along with the removal of all the bloatware. I have found that if you run Yahoo IM, it tends to kill your battery faster as well. Make sure to set most of your sync options to manual or every few hours as well. It won't impact your gmail or gtalk settings.

I understood that just rooting wouldn't change a thing. I just miss worded it lol. I was already running cm7 and incredikernel. I just hadn't realized I had 2 apps running in the background killing my battery

just flashed tinys last night and waiting to see how it works. I have two batteries and one lasts much better than the other and they have both been treated the same as far as charging and discharging....

Thermanger Update and Myths/Fiction about Custom Roms Overheating vs Stock

Here is updated Thermanager, which could be flashed in recovery. I have made some changes after I played Asphalt game for about one hour. With this update, on performance governor the temperature never went higher than 58. And we are talking 1 hour straight. I doubt you can have that on stock. What was interesting that performance governor produced less heat than interactive, which supports my claim that when cpu jumps frequencies, it creates additional overhead.
Now, regarding myths and fiction about stock rom not overheating. There are some dudes on this forum who complain that their Z1 overheats to 70+ on custom roms when they play their beloved games; on stock, they say, there is no overheating.
Here is a short answer. You, guys, don't know what you are talking about.
Custom roms (and custom kernels) give you tools that are not available in stock. You just have to learn how to read/use them. Here is one example: some roms allow you to have internal cpu temperature on screen. Now that you have it, you watch. When it hits 70, you panic, but if you touch the back door, it will be barely warm. So, when you are on stock and without temperature reading, you think your phone is not overheating, while it can still have 65-70.
I used a modified version of M5 kernel compiled with GCC 5.2.1 Ubertc; CPU at 2457; performance governor, inteliplug balance with touch boost disabled; GPU overclocked to 600 with msm-adreno-tz idle wait 30 and workload 3; swapiness 10; enthropy 1024 read/write. That was on DU rom, but I bet the result would be the same on Jaguar and some other custom roms.

lol, that dude is Me, and I will try this, in the stock rom I can see an process running as overheat manager or something, I think it might have to do something with it. I'm sure that my device got heated very much, I didn't meant to offense but you seems to got it wrong. btw I will try this. I use Jaguar atm.
Thanks

I don't think that my phone won't reach 60 C on stock, but I like watching YouTube, so I can see how fast it warms. (I have xposed module that shows me cpu temp even on stock). And as much as I can say my phone warms faster on custom roms than on stock. No matter what governor I use.
Also all animations (like status bar showing) are kind of laggy on custom roms. I don't know it it got better in past 2 months, but last time I used custom rom my phone reached 50C even only with chrome.
Interesting thing is that this all (including animations) is not present on 3.10 kernel, but there are no usable roms at the moment with 3.10 kernel, so I have to use stock.

Overheat manager: whatever it is, all it does is throttling and thermanager does the same on custom roms. So, the trick is to throttle enough without you noticing any lags...

It's a YouTube app. Really? It's weird, maybe I'll try, but I can see the difference on battery time when I come home from school - on stock I have ~70% and on custom roms I have ~50. Anyway I'll try and report after few days.

Okay, I can say that custom roms are now ok for me when it come to battery life. I compared usual usage of mine on stock and custom roms and now it really gives me same battery life. The only change I made this time is that I used DU instead of Jaguar and this thermalmanager settings.
Though there are still two things that bother me on custom roms: laggy UI - I don't know what causes that, I tried changing lot of cpu/gpu thing to sort it out, but nothing helped. And the other one is headset connecting - I have to press and hold (for a little while) all the buttons on headset to get it recognized.
I'm returning back to stock, but I can say that now is overheating on custom roms gone.
Thank you, @optimumpro

OK. Nice to hear that about battery life and overheating. With regard to lagging: it is not cpu, but rather animations. Either disable them completely in developer options or in DU you can go to tweaks and pick and choose whatever animation you want. I just disable all animations and have absolutely no lag.

Oddly enough, I find custom ROMs hae smoother animations than stock, in my phone. But I don't have good battery life when compared to stock..

Increase LG G4 battery life by 30% must be rooted

*I no longer have this phone so these values and builds will not be updated if you would like to add new values for this phone or add tweaks to existing builds then feel free to post them on this thread.
*This requires root
I decided to make this thread to share with you guys a tweak that I found that really helped my battery life. I was never able to get more than 3hrs of screen on time on my phone or get decent standby times on lollipop like I did when I was on marshmallow but I may have found a solution. I stumbled on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557 by soniCron give the guy a thanks while you're over there. This guide is for CPU settings to increase battery life and performance. I saw that it was for the Nexus 5x and because the g4 and 5x have the same CPU I decided to give it a shot. I never noticed much performance improvements but I did notice a big battery improvement like I said before. There are many different flavors of tweaks to try and I ended up going with GhostPepper and then tweaking it to my liking.
Here are my settings for the G4 based on GhostPepper
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Yn-qtExspkzINkhtjHBhQyrbtSdMLH9ls4booeqsfh4/edit?usp=sharing
* 8/14/16 If you used the settings from the beta build Turtle or modded GhostPepper check to make sure your settings are up to date. I just changed some target load numbers slightly and fixed an error with the values for above_hispeed_delay. I also fixed an error with a value for the modded GhostPepper settings.
*8/15/16 Slight changes to beta settings to increase smoothness and battery life slightly
*8/17/16 Small change to beta settings to increase smoothness more and changed development status of Turtle to stable beta meaning you can probably use it without worrying about battery drain or slow downs though it does need more testing to move it to daily use
After changing these values with some type of kernel tweaking app I used kernel adiutor, make sure all CPU boosting settings like touch boost or input interval are off or at 0
After applying these settings you should see noticeable improvements in battery life
If you find any better settings add them to the thread.
*I am not responsible if your phone dies, bootloops, bricks, or causes the world to explode.

Unfortunately, this requires root, so no-go on MM.

I meant to put that in the post updating it now.

I found simply changing my governor to interactive greatly increased my battery life. I am going to try this and see what I get. I'll post results.

OK great this uses the interactive governor.

New Beta Settings
I have updated the main post with a link to a list of settings one of them is the one that was on there before and the other is one I am working on. The beta I just added seems fairly decent from my testing though this is my first time trying to make my own The small core settings are ones that I did and the Big core settings are slightly tweaked GhostPepper settings. This one seems smooth from my testing maybe not as smooth as the first one I added but it does seem to have a little better battery life when doing light gaming. If your adventurous go for it and report any issues and the battery life you are getting. I also turned all thermal settings off like Core control, VDD, and Temp throttle. It didn't have any affect on my temps if anything they went down a little maybe 1 or 2 degrees but did seem to help smoothness and making sure the governor settings acted right on both profiles.

Just wanted to post an update on the battery life I am getting with the beta settings. I managed to get almost 5hrs of screen on time with the Turtle settings beating my previous longest screen on time from the images in the first post. I managed to do this with even more demanding tasks. In the first post the battery times are with mainly web browsing this time I was mainly watching Netflix and YouTube for about 3hrs worth of my screen on time. My brightness was also 10% higher than the first time. I also did a standby test and managed to only drain 3% overnight and it said I would get 139 hrs of standby time which I think is insanely good.

Battery life test
I just ran the Geekbench 3 battery test and managed to get 5 hrs 45 min and a score of 3456 on the beta settings. I managed to beat the G4 battery time by 50min and this was with 30% brightness and Bluetooth, WiFi, and Cell on no airplane mode. I also managed to beat the G3 and almost got the same battery time as the OnePlus One.

Hi, dude. I'm very interested in tweaking my G4 to get better battery life as at the moment I need to charge it twice a day. I just have a noob question, could you please tell me how you disabled touchboost using Kernel Adiutor?

Go to the CPU section then scroll all the way down till you get to a section that says CPU Boost. Set the Interval to 0 Sync Threshold disabled and Input Interval to 0. The input boost frequency will never disable for me but with the above settings it shouldn't matter because it will never run anyway.

I would try the GhostPepper settings first. The beta settings seem to give me better battery but they are still a work in progress and not as smooth as the other settings but you can use them if you want any feedback on those settings would be appreciated. I was also surprised how much those settings did for my battery life.

I decided to do a benchmark on how much of a difference there was between stock and the custom settings and to show I wasn't making stuff up by saying that I used these settings and magically got almost double battery life With the stock settings I got just a hair over 3hrs vs almost 6hrs on the tweaked CPU settings. You can see the results from stock in the IMG. The results for the tweaked settings are near the bottom of the first page.

How is your battery life after trying the settings out for a few days?

hey man i just tried yours and let we see the performance in next day. anyway the tweak that youve done is only on the CPU? no GPU or whatsoever? what if i implemented from others, let say other G4 users that tweak the GPU and i combined with your CPU tweak. any problem?

Hey man, how could I get the tweak for this setting? Thank you

I didn't think you could tweak the kernel without an unlocked bootloader for the Verizon G4 (vs98613b)?

how long does your battery last?

Hello there guys, I've started to use this phone a week or so, and I tried a bunch of different ROMs and finally I have settled with Dot Os since is the one that worked flawlessly for me, but here's my question
How long does your battery last?
I've seen older posts complaining about this phone battery. But I wanted to check with you guys that have been using this phone with custom ROMs.
My battery last very poorly, most days I need to recharge from 2 to 3 times in the same day, I don't play games, but my screen time is long I suppose, I use it a lot to look up things in the browser or to read posts on reddit mostly.
Since this is a second hand phone I thought it could be that the battery had run its course and that it was time for a replacement, but even with a new battery the performance still far from desirable.

It's very hard to compare, because it depends a lot on your ROM, kernel, adjustments and usage !
On my side I bought the phone (a6020a46) more than a year ago, and I use it for my work with Bluetooth for the headset, but I don't use much games or browser, so it lasts around 24 hours...

Really the developers have stopped thinking about the battery life, custom roms are more focused on performance and smoothness now a days. I am watching temperature of my cpu its always above 42 C even on using whatsapp it gets heated. I was searching for Kernal with hotplug like stock kernel but didnt found. All CPU cores are working Tirelessly consuming tons of battery. I wonder whether no developer can develop a battery saving kernel with better management of cores like stock kernel developed in 2016.

It could be the ROM, but since I'm not sure what to expect from this phone in trying to first figure it out if my battery is in fact OK, so you guys recommend any app or method for that, I'm using Accubaterry and according to it my battery health is fine, but even though it can't last a whole day on the other hand I can't complain about performance, it really is fast and just works (DotOS)
Edit : yeah I think that the main source of battery drain might be the ROM itself, I've been lookin at kernel adiutor and by default all cores are always on with the minimum frequency of 960 MHz

Only kernel with hotplug turning the cores off by default I've found is the one that comes with AEX 5.7 by Harry.
See this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/rom-aospextended-v5-0-t3688595/post77036466
Also he added a core control to manage hotplug values.
You don't like (for whatever reason) cores being offlined all the time? Ok, go to core control and set the properly value to switch all the cores on as you like.

If you want low battery consumption, I would suggest to stay on Nougat, it's not a troll it's a fact

Honestly I don't really care if it's nougat, oreo or whatever, I'm just looking for a stable release to use as a daily driver for a while since I can't keep flashing a new ROM every day

@shubhgoan, @ghst7 here's offlining hotplug working properly on Oreo AOKP, by using Dragon Elite v1.4 kernel.
As many others custom ROMs, no way to hotplug the cores without using a custom kernel wich support that feature.
I'll be testing how much the battery lasts now.

@walterfuster let me know how it's goes, BTW can you tell me where did you find DE kernel v1.4? On the Dev section I have found only version 1.2
In the meantime I'm using AOSPEX and although the hot plug behavior is not that aggressive, it works and I already have noticed an improvement in my battery life

(similar to KA)
open it and goto CPU Hotplug->Hotplug Style and select "Per-Core-Hotplug".
That's it.
Now check with CPU info overlay cores automatically being turned on/off according to needing.
@shubhgoan I corrected the link. Sorry for that bro.

STEPS:
flash DE kernel doing the cache/dalvick wipes previously.
install this app:

(similar to KA)
open it and goto CPU Hotplug->Hotplug Style and select "Per-Core-Hotplug".

@ghst7 Just reporting the results running DE as you requested me some posts ago.
What do you think? It's real. I promise.

Thanks I will try it myself with DotOS and see how it goes, AOSPEX also worked pretty well for my battery, it got to last a full day worth of work.

Hey I looked it up but couldn't find relevant info about this, can you explain it what exactly does this option do?

yes, it makes hotplug work, turning the cores off and on independently, depending on the cpu load.

I'm in stock rom, thinking about changing to aospex, i'm just done with 2 hours of battery from the stock rom, but I've never made any custom rom stuff... So, what's the best battery life/performance rom out there?

You will have to flash ROMs and find the one that works for you, from my experience AOSPEx, Dot Os and AOKP are all pretty good, if you wish to improve your battery life you can also flash DE kernel

Hey @walterfuster sorry to bother you again, but can you answer one last question for me, are you using an external SD card? And if so is your SD card formatted in what extension, fat32 or exfat?
I'm asking because I'm using a 64gb SD card formated as Exfat, and every time after I flash DE kernel I lose access to it, I mean the system still recognize my SD card but when I navigate to it, it shows no files, they are still there I just can't access them, I just want to be sure before I have to make a huge backup to format my SD card as fat32, I'm on AEX 5.7 btw

Hi guy, oh, I don't use an external SD card, so, I can't check anything for you.
BTW, I've also tried PB2 kernel with AOKP (completely compatible), and no chance to hotplug. It's a shame, man. because it's a great kernel: no random reboots like DE 1.4, and also has overclocking!
So, only way to get hotplug on any custom Oreo is by flashing DE v1.4, AFAIK.
I also attempted a crazy thing wich was replacing AOKP boot, with the one from AOSPEX, in order to run AOKP with AOSPEX kernel, to finally get hotlugging, but, guess what: DIDN'T work. Just got an endless unicorn boot logo

Horrible battery life all of a sudden on 10.0.7

Am I the only one who is all of a sudden having horrible battery life on 10.0.7?
Used to get 6-7 hrs of SOT, now I am getting around 2. Cant think of any changes to my apps or usage history

Custom kernel?

Yes, have been using the EK kernel manager with just default settings.

It's due to OnePlus brain service. Search in the forum for it and you'll find a couple of ways to stop it.

thanks. Seems like that is very hard to do. I might just disable the custom kernel. Honestly the only reason I installed it was so that I could change the vibration intensity. If anyone knows of another way to do that outside of custom kernel manager I would be all for it!

I just flashed a magisk module

I also have extreme battery drain especially when using the phone. Idle it uses not much blatter, when using I get two hours Sot.
I also have ExKernelManager with default kernel because it fixed my WiFi issue and the phone sleeps as a baby at night.

sounds like the issue is probably the kernel then. Im going to just go back to stock I think

As I read in the forum it is related to oos version 1.0.0.3 and oos 1.0.0.7 and not kernel related.
I flashed the fix mentioned in the thread but no luck for me. Cluster 3 remains on 2999 MHZ and CPU tmp still on 50+.
Seems flashing to build 1.0.0.6 is the only way to fix this issue.
Edit: I just set the max CPU from cluster 3 to lowest settings and the CPU dropped right away and temp is now steady around 30/35 degrees. For me a temporary solution till next oos update.
Regards ysco..

I got the same issue. Getting not even 2h SOT. No custom kernel here, just basic OS with darkmode on & on WIFI connection.
(Currently 1:28h screen usage at 29% battery left)
Any fix in sight for this?

Obviously a widespread issue... I think next step is for us to take it to OnePlus forums and their tech support

Phone is almost unusable for me now with such crappy battery life

Just install arter97 kernel, worked for me and clusters are running nicely now and CPU temp is low.
Battery life is improved now because cluster 3 is not hanging on 2999mhz anymore.
Just download the kernel from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...development/arter97-kernel-oneplus-7-t3952578
Just flash in your favorite kernel manager the new kernel, magisk will be preserved. First boot takes some time after flashed the kernel.

thanks for the advice, interesting that it worked. I will give it a try. Seems like that kernel was just updated this week

Wow. You were Right. That kernel fixed everything.
Has that kernel been your daily driver? I think I'm sold on it now!

Glad it also worked for you to.
Well i was testing and reading on the forums about the drain because I only got two hours of Sot because of cluster issue. And started testing different kernels and this one fixed everything and is my daily kernel now. Battery is improved with 90% now I have almost 3 hours Sot and 70% battery left on the first run after installing this kernel.
Regards ysco..

Just a update with the used kernel I discribed earlier.
7 hour Sot and 10% left, never had such good battery on my former oneplus devices then I have on the 7t now. So no issues anymore with battery drain.
