Oneplus 3 Nougat Battery Life

Hi all,
Now, I've never gotten great battery life (combination of screen on time and idle) with any phone. I don't use them all that much apart from bursts and my OnePlus 3 would get me 3 hours SoT tops within 24 hours before I need to charge again.
However since Nougat I'm struggling to get even 1 hour SoT.
I'm using Bluetooth, NFC, both SIMS and nothing else untoward. This is the same as pre-Nougat.
Anyone else seen their battery life die since the update

Try to use 1 sim. I have 3:30 sot for both sims. And 7 for 1 sim.

that's still more than 3 times what I'm getting for 2 sims...

Did you clean flash or dirty?
Rooted? If yes, which supersu version?

Batter life is great i suggest you do a clean install wipe everything on your phone after making a backup on your phone ofcourse and start again. I use 2 sims and i have an average of 5:30 to 6 hours sot

Hey Konvict
Can you answer these questions then please?
How long a period of time is that 5-6 hours of SoT over? 24 hours of standby?
What radios and apps do you have running that might eat battery?

I would say about 24 hours....i normally charge my phone at the end of the day when i have about 40-55 percent battery left but even then i usually have goften 2:30- 3 hrs screen on time depending on the day. I will attach a screenshot of my battery today and maybe u can take a look at it.
Actually today this nougat looks very good.

I'm getting awesome batter life.
First two pics from OOS 4.0
Last two pics from OOS 4.0.1

You both seem to be using both WiFi and multiple SIMs - strange then.
I can't use GSAM as I don't have root and Nougat stops the app by app recording of battery use for third parties, otherwise I could see what was happening.
I do have a number of email accounts, and messenger apps, but these sit dormant most of the day (i have no friends obviously lol)
Hmm, maybe a wipe IS needed.

You guys got a great battery life, I got 2:30 in my good days, never above it!
However, someone told me to switch Doze off from developer options, I just did that and I'm currently charging my device, will see if it do any good by the end of today "fingers crossed"
PS. I'm using Freedom OS 2.0 with clean install + using Bluetooth and 2 SIM (one for calls and the other for data)

I'm also noticing a big drop in battery life after switching from marshmallow to nougat on my OP3T. Cleared cache & did factory reset, as I always do. All apps and settings the same, and usage the same. Drain seems to be extreme, not sure what's going on. The battery life was AMAZING on marshmallow... kind of regretting switching now

Go back to the previous versions of Facebook and Messenger. These two have been draining battery like hell for sometime now.

Horrible Battery Life on Nougat

So Just to announce where I am coming from, I am a Sony fan for the past 4 years, Had the Z2 and was totally blown away by the battery life it offered. Then I got the Z5P and even though the battery performance was nowhere near the Z2 I still got through an entire day with it without issues so I was happy.
Then came the Nougat update and all hell broke loose. I am literally getting just 6 hrs of battery life since the update. And even when it is idle it still drains battery like atleast 2 percent every hour.
Also the charging is very slow. I have a quick charger that used to take the battery life from 0 to 20 in atleast 10 - 15 mins. But now it actually drains the battery if I am using the phone while charging. And yes I have switched off the battery optimization option.
Any help will be appreciated even if it is just a confirmation that I am not the only one having this issue, which will at least let me know that it is not just my phone.

There must be some process with corrupted data after de update which is constantly executing something. I recommend you to do a full wipe, factory reset

Oh did not know this could happen. Will definitely try doing a full wipe and see how things go! Thanks a lot!

I never fully trust OTA updates, because it keeps all the applications data and some special case of your current configuration maybe is not "converted" to the new version and causes the programs to behave weird. Have you looked at the battery usage? Maybe you find the process which a huge % of battery eaten, and just wiping that app data is enough

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I looked at the battery usage stats and no specific app is draining more than 2 percent of the battery over a charge. The only things that have taken most out of the battery are 1. The Screen On Time which is to expected and 2. The Idle Phone which takes around 15% consistently in every charge.

after updating to .372 , i learned from internet that this build has battery draining issues. ( i never faced any )
after updating to .376. , the phone is as steady stable as my other xperias (btw z5p is my 6th xperia )
now there is however a catch.
1. if you updated on OTA , this means the update of 1.2gb via ota only replaced certain files from .305 to make it .372 build (android 6 to 7) --- such OTA updates USUALLY ends up having problems (in general) with battery draining issues. Such problems i personally faced during updating from honeycomb to ics. - in short whenever update is available; always install FRESH
2. if your bootloader is locked then use xperia companion to install fresh after wiping all data. (makebackups)
3. if your phone is not rooted then try disabling all un necessary apps under Apps section.
----
Trivia
You cannot compare Z5p with predecessors like Z3/Z2/Z1 and Z since
1. they were always smaller in screen size / resolution and were not 4k
2. They stops at Android 5 / 6 as their last builds and battery life was awesome w.r.t consumption

however some of friends on XDA agrees that .305 (android 6.0.1) (came out dec2016) is the BEST build ever for z5p. addressed all battery issues and it was the final build for z5p on android 6.0.1
even i am thinking to degrade my phone due to ram consumption of N is very high!
this is why xzp has 4gb ram!

I need to know. If I updated my phone to .376 and it's having this lack of battery life, DO I HAVE TO SELL IT OR DISPOSE OF IT BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY A LOST CAUSE NOW? (P.S. I immediately did a factory reset after the Nougat install completed.)
Because apparently if you updated to this build, then returned to the last Marshmallow build, THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED, and reloading nougat will only make things worse. And if you updated to .378, it not only does this not get fixed, it breaks your headphone jack to boot.
Please help. I am freaking out about this battery life. I lost 60 PERCENT IN 6 HOURS OF BASICALLY PODCASTS. ?

Well, after all my trials I flashed MM back and everything is back to normal. The issue is with 7 so not sure what happened to your handset
EDIT: Re-upgraded once again= battery 8 hour life. Go into About Phone, Status and disable battery optimization. The handset reboots and incredibly this morning it was like the old days .

Maybe I'll try that. The best I was able to do was 21 hours with one bar LTE, 6 hour's sleep, and 3h40m screen on time with several hour's worth of Pocket Casts.

i confirm that on build .33 i lost my battery even on stamina mode one percent every 10 minuets over using wifi , it just keeps the battery when device is screen off -_- its horrible i didnt have this kind of problem with .253 and im wondering revert back to MM

Poor Battery Life on Android P

Ever since upgrading to Android P (OTA) 3 days ago I've noticed the battery life is really poor. On Oreo I used to see only 1-2% drain overnight. Now I go to bed with full charge and wake up with only 60% left. The battery drains a lot faster when I'm using it as well.
I used to be able to get 6-7 hours SOT easily. Now I'm not even sure if I could squeeze 4 hours before the battery is flat.
Is anybody else seeing this? Or is this normal considering Android P just got installed and it needs time to "optimize stuff"? But then again, with Oreo I got awesome battery life from day 1.

Weird, I've gotten better battery life..

Better battery here

Interesting. I'll let it run a few more days and see if there's any improvement. Otherwise I'm going back to Oreo.

Give it some time, once adapative battery figures out your usage and adjusts accordingly, you should see better battery life

Try to factory reset ur device this may help

Thanks guys. I'll wait a few more days. If it doesn't improve will try a factory reset

I'm getting better battery life with Pie

Pixel 1 XL could last a long time. Pixel 2 XL was worse and the worst with Android P unfortunately. I upgraded from Beta, decided to factory reset since there was a bug with Wear OS eating the battery. Got a little better. Got some more little better disabling adaptive battery. I think Doze is still in Android P.
Anyway, it's still not that good. But decent.

I am having the same issue.
when I reboot the phone, the battery seems ok.
But when I start using the phone and open several apps, the battery starts draining quickly.
I installed magisk root, should I do a factory reset and not installing magisk?

I went from a day and 17 hours to 16 hours. This is definiately a piss-poor "improvement to battery life."

I'm not sure how much help adaptive battery is going to help. It's meant to limit background battery usage of infrequently used misbehaving apps. If that's not happening adaptive battery won't do much.

My battery life has been terrible. Today I unplugged at 93%. I've been off the charger for 9 hours with 4 hours screen on time. I'm at 23%. With Oreo that kind of usage would have me at about 40%.
I'd rather not have the hassle of having to do a factory reset but I might not have much choice.

It hasn't got any better since I reported the issue.
I think I'm going to flash Oreo instead of trying a factory reset as I doubt it would solve the problem. Maybe someone else could try and let us know.
I'll report back after flashing Oreo. Very disappointed. I thought this was the first phone I didn't need to tinker with all these stuff on. I was really happy with it until this issue came up.

So a few days ago I flashed Oreo only to have it tell me it couldn't find any of my backups on Google Drive during the initial setup. Of course, the backups were done when I was on Pie.
So I had to upgrade to Pie then factory reset. This time it found my backups.
Yesterday I managed to get 5 hours SOT with about 40% battery left. Life is all good now

looks like i'm going to have to do the same. It doesnt make sense how some people are getting better battery and other worse. Are there some of us running apps not 9.0 compatible? might be worth uninstalling everything and adding them back day by day. it'll take a long time though!

I had a similar experience. Battery life was awful after Pie update. Factory reset and it's back to normal.

same here, slightly better

It appears I jumped the gun. The problem came back yesterday.
The phone loses about 4-5% battery per hour even on standby. I have no idea what's going on; I haven't installed any new apps and usage pattern hasn't changed either.
One very interesting fact I have discovered is that the issue appears to happen only when I'm on Wifi. When I'm mobile data, all is good. So the phone seems to be doing some funky stuff when it's on Wifi lol.
Oh well, I guess I will try to install BBS and see if I could find the culprit.

That is entirely possible. I guess we have apps that have not been written/optimized for Pie? That would explain why some people are not seeing the issue and some unfortunate ones like us are.

I factory-resetted the phone, the issue is still there. I don't have any strange app. It seems that it's just the system that is consuming the battery.

That's very strange I've had the complete opposite, battery life has improved, if reset didn't fix it monitor your apps for unusual battery usage and limit the background activity of battery consuming apps

Mi6 really slow after upgrade to 9.5.9 Beta

Hello,
a few days ago my Mi6 (4GB/64GB) upgraded to Pie (9.5.9 Beta) by OTA.
After that, the phone isnt smooth as in the past.
Sometimes starting apps from links while browsing - like ebay or amazon- fails.
Phone take little brakes.
Soundstreaming to a Bluetooth Soundbox is horrible, many little stops.
Does anyone has the same experience or issues after upgrading?
Best regards Christian

I always have this rule, if i upgrading. Example: from Android 8.0 to 9.0, then i doing full wipe, but older system leaves so many trash in system files.
I install 9.5.9 on my Mi6 128GB with MiFlash and dont have any problems, very stable rom, good battery performance.

Thanks mate. I will think about doing a full wipe. The battery performance is also not the best. Its not worse , but battery drain in oreo was much better.

Question OB1 Users, how is the battery life?

With OOS11 , The highest SOT im getting is 6.5 hours
How is the battery life in Android 12 OB1 ?
There is a hope for a good battery life on Android 12?

My battery life is noticeably better on OB1. I was getting about 6-7 hours SOT, but so far on OB1 I'm consistently getting over 8.

I haven't run into any of the issues I've read about, but then I've only been on it for like 5 days so far. The only issue I've encountered is my 3rd party alarm app isn't working in the mornings, but that happens to me every single time a major Android update comes out and they change how they do process management. Probably just a new setting I haven't found yet, and the built-in clock app works fine until then.

Not all apps are compatible with Android 12 yet

Mine is very good.
But that depends on your usage. If you don't put the phone down, ever, no battery, no phone will ever be good.

Seems good enough me, but still watching it for a while....

6 hours 30 mins when the battery remaining was 3% with similar usage, it totally depend on the usage.

Much better than Android 11
