I've had this issue ever since I restored whatsapp backups, deleted everything regarding it. Now the phone heats up noticeably with NORMAL usage, and the battery drains way faster than normally. I have done a few factory resets, cleared cache then finally flashed stock rom with odin, using nand erase option.
But the issue still persists.?! Anybody more technical than me? Been through the whole internet searching about this issue and no avail, and visited service center 2 times where they claim it is an app when clearly it's not.
What does it say for your battery usage? Settings->Battery and device care->Battery->(tap on graph)
Also you said you've done some factory resets - it can take a few days for the adaptive battery usage to optimize itself after a reset.

Yes, I installed whatsapp way back in march and this caused the problem to arise. Haven't touched it ever since.

Obviously TikTok using a lot of battery because I've been using it a lot. Installed or not, heating still occurs when using other apps. Neither is it microG, that has been using battery today unrelated to the draining issues.
And regards to the factory reset, they were done way back in march as well. I did wait until the optimization to sort itself out but nothing ever seemed to change. I had done a reflash through odin as well, making sure the storage gets completely wiped out.
The apps aren't at fault though. Before I had installed whatsapp, these apps you currently see did not have such massive draining or heating issues until installing wa. Neither did the issue go away after factory reseting or flashing the stock rom. All of this happens in safe mode too, I am not sure where to even begin with.
Ah ok, I see. Yes, that's more than enough time since your reset for the adaptive battery to figure things out.
How much is the drain overnight when you're sleeping?
Are you mainly on wifi or cell data? How strong are they for you?
Another thing you can try is dark mode and see if that helps at all as our screens use less power when showing black. I don't know how much of an effect that actually has though.
Also, if you haven't already, set your screen to 60Hz instead of 120Hz.
Overnight drain is nonexistent. And I am typically on wifi when at home, outdoors using data. Both have full bars so I am sure it's not them.
Been on 60Hz the whole time, I dislike 120Hz
I've had this same problem on my previous S7 where it was more severe due to the exynos chip. I had a spare S7 edge not used by me, so I installed whatsapp and restored the backup, and the same issue I described began. That phone ran cool without lag, now suffering the same fate as my A52s. I flashed the stock rom on the edge as well and it didn't seem to fix the issue either.
Sorry. I forgot to mention I had uninstalled whatsapp back in march, so the issue should be gone but it still persists.
You don't need to be so aggressive to me. I know what I am here for and I am trying to get help after trying to fix this by going to the service center where they claim false stuff, and whatever I posted earlier. Read what I posted, TikTok is not causing it neither is any app causing it.
Please read what I wrote above. Not tryying to start an argument here but sounds like you are trying to.
It does not matter if TikTok is installed or not. The same issue persists nevertheless and I already mentioned WhatsApp was not installed. Everything I mentioned above was tested by myself...
TikTok obviously is using a lot of battery because it has been on for a long time. Same thing, does not matter if it's installed the same heating and battery drain issue will occur in other apps. (Normal usage, not gaming or doing anything that stresses the phone)
What I am trying to gain here is advice to fix it, not asking for blaming on apps or useless advice because you never read my post.

This post is similar to what I am experiencing at the moment but for a different reason. Going to the service center isn't really an option anymore because they do not believe me and make up false reasons for this problem, and I am not a very confrontational person either.

I'm not a huge fan of these types of apps but one might point you in the right direction here - try and install something like AccuBattery and let it go for a few days. See what it says for battery usage.
It's been a while but I think there's an additional setting in the app (AccuBattery) that will enable the app to get more details, make sure you do that (was an ADB command if I recall).

Absolutely, I will install it and let it run for a few days then report the results back here.
Did you try enrolling to Whatsapp's beta program or sideload the latest beta from apkmirror and compare the battery drain between the two versions (Stable vs Beta)?

EDIT
I was able to solve my battery issue by formatting my SD card. Something on there was causing the battery to drain 2-3 times more quickly than normal. After formatting, I went from 6-8 hour battery life to around 20 hours with significant usage (Google, Exchange, IMAP, Facebook all on push, 3G+Bluetooth+GPS on, 4G and wifi as needed for extra speed).
Important to note, I am not entirely convinced that the Android OS and battery drain are related since I still have Android OS near if not at the top of my battery consumption screen, but the improved actual longevity is very significant. I recommend anyone having their battery run out format their SD card (and possibly USB storage) and see if that helps (obviously back up any important data first!). Good luck!
ORIGINAL POST
I'm getting pretty bad battery life, and it looks like "Android OS" is consuming most of it. I've rebooted (as suggested in other threads), checked OS Monitor for high-CPU usage processes, but nothing stands out. This is un-rooted, stock OS with no third party launchers installed.
I have a feeling if this issue was fixed, I'd be getting great battery life. This happening to anyone else?
Screenshots show the device at 38% after 6.5 hours off the charger.

That's an awful lot of awake time with no screen on time. Do you have things updating in the background frequently? I.e. social hub, Facebook, news widgets?
And not to be too obvious, but is your 4g antenna turned on?

No, I don't. I have fewer widgets and fewer accounts (haven't set up my work Exchange yet) than I previously had on my EVO, which got great battery life.
I've been on Android over a year and am quite familiar with how it works... I'm just unfamiliar with Samsung specifically and unrooted devices and was hoping someone might have a similar experience.
I have the same thing. Significantly more awake time then screen on time, and Android OS eating the battery. Also stock.
Same here too
I had this exact issue and no longer do. Here is what I did and posted in another thread:
OK I hope someone finds this useful and/or can verify. I was one of those people getting awful battery life, meaning lucky to last 8 hours from 100% to 0%. The "Android OS" process would take hours of CPU time. Now it will take up maybe 30 min over the course of the day. Here is the only thing I did between the time it went from bad to good. I changed the wifi sleep policy. It is by default (for me at least) set to never. I changed it to "when the screen turns off" and left it there for about an hour. Then went in and changed it back to never. From the point of doing this my battery life has been great.
I know it sounds strange but it seems to have worked for me so I thought I would share.

I rarely use wifi as well but this setting seemed to affect the phone in general, if your using wifi or not. I might just be crazy though. Either way I no longer have the issue so
does the google voice widget pull data in the background or is it a push thing?
I'm seeing high usage (60+%) by AndroidOS also (stock, unrooted, not using WiFi, not using 4G), although battery life has not been bad that I have noticed.
Watchdog Lite indicates that this is primarily due to two processes:
events/0
suspend

I am not and was not using it.
It would seem that after I installed the AT&T update to dumb down thr search on my phone, my battery life has been terrible. Yesterday it was down to about 30% after only 4 hours of light use with the processes "Android OS" and "Cell Standby" taking up the most battery. I can't even get through the day with this phone. Some help would be much appreciated.
After any update, give it a couple days to level out. Until then, just carry an extra charger and plug in when you can.
The update was installed at least a week ago.
In that case, backup everything and do a factory reset when you have a fully charged battery.
Alright I'll give it a shot. I needed to do that anyway as my clipboard no longer works and consistently crashes. :/
I did a factory reset a few weeks ago and that solved it for me.
Do you have any specific methods for backing up a phone that isn't rooted? I've got nova backed up, but I would like to make sure everything else is too.

Are you receiving push email? that was the major drainer for me. apparently the android email app has a bug.
Regarding clipboard...delete everything in data/clipboard; force close the 'test service' app and then restart your phone

The best method would be to use titanium backup but since your not rooted I don't know what options you have except to use the google backup but that ain't to good since its only app data.

Hi all,
Since getting the phone from day one, I really never had a problem with the battery. Lately however, I've noticed a significant drain in battery over night. I tested the drain a few times over several nights, and even put my phone into "airplane" mode to help save battery.
Below are my results from going to sleep at 1:30am with 100% battery power and in airplane mode and waking up at 9:30am the next morning. I get a 12% decrease in battery over night for doing nothing over the course of 8 hours.
The only thing I've noticed differently is that Chrome is starting to use battery which is odd because I rarely use Chrome to begin with.
Any ideas to help this? What should I do?

i second that problem about Chrome. I think it is a bug regarding the builtin flash code. my battery was great until i installed Chrome then it got really bad. I uninstalled Chrome and my battery life jumped up big time. huge different. too bad i really like Chrome but no go right now
Not sure if it's the same issue, but I had some problems with battery life in Chrome until I disabled Tilt Scrolling under Developer Options in the Chrome menu.
my battery life is great even after the update
So..
Recently I've bought my very own Nexus 5X, here over in Europe.
I have been very, very happy with it so far!
I came from a S5 mini, but boy oh boy, I'll never buy a Samsung ever again!
Though, I've recently ran into a major problem! My battery is so, so, so bad!
I could speak of luck when I make it trough 6 hours!
My S5 Mini was even better than this one, and is instead 2200 mAh!
The only thing I do on a day, is check Twitter and visit some Android news pages..
Not even a heavy gamer!
Have I done something wrong? Is this a manufacturing error? Is Google fixing this soon?
Many question, such wow.
I would love to hear from y'all!

(Sorry if I spelled some things wrong )
Share the screenshots (Power + Volume down for 2 sec) of battery stats and it will help the others to decide who is the culprit. You can see who is using most of the juices in battery stats. Also, in Developer Options, you can see what's running in background from 'Running Services'.
In general, the battery is quite satisfactory.
For me, 5X was getting very poor cellular network reception and it was draining the battery. I choose '2G' from Preferred network type (reboot) and it's improving already.
Sup?
Thanks for replying buddy! It's really awesome to see some support out there!
XDA doesn't let me post image's.
Right now, I have 4 hours left while I booted my phone 2 and a half hours ago..
Chrome is taking up 8 %
Screen 7%
Android OS 3 %
Android System 3%
Google services 1 %
I can't even get through half a day.. Ugh.

Hi!
See the Network reception first. For a clearer view, download this app: Network Signal Info.
And head to this thread and see if anyone else have already answered your query: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/nexus-5x-battery-life-thread-t3229424
Sup?
Network is all good, not really that much problems whatsoever.
I just don't understand why this phone does this to me..
When you look at your battery stats, tap into the "graph" then look at the bottom and see the "awake" line.
It indicates if your phone is "awake" most times or not.
If I constantly use my 5X throughout the day, 6 hours sound about right (this was when I just got the phone and was constantly playing with it).
Now I just use it normally for messages, emails and calls throughout the day with occasional clash of clans and it could last an easy 13 to 14 hours. Just a note though, I do use the app greenify.
If you noticed your phone is constantly "awake" even if when your not using it, then maybe consider turning off the "ambient display" (in display settings) and see if that helps.
Sup?
Thanks for the reply! ^^
My battery is indeed constantly awake, I don't know how though!
It's all normal usage I'm performing, I don't even play any sort of game..
Never heard of Greenify.. Is it like a boost app..?
I did turn off Ambient Display. I have the official Folio case, so Ambient Display is useless anyway.
Umm.. Anyone who have options left?
Because I'm kind of stressing out now..
It's weird your phone is "awake" all the time. Maybe there is bad app installed.
Try using the greenify app and see if it improves the battery.
This app prevents other apps from running in the background.
If this fails, try factory reset and use see it this improves?

One of the apps or services you have running on your device is not letting your phone go to deep sleep or Doze, by the sounds of it.
You can see which apps you have running 24/7 in the background in Developer Options > Running Services. Any of those 3rd party services could be causing your issues as they do not close when you swipe the app away.
You can also check Settings>Memory (sort by max usage at the top right options) to see which apps are using CPU and RAM periodically throughout the day.
To kgen:
I haven't really got the time to test it now, I charged it since the battery almost died..
Greenify doesn't do the trick.. It doesn't detect 1 single app..

I've aksed those Google product forums as well, told me to try a day in Safe Mode and clear device cache in boot menu.

Clear cache and data for chrome. It shouldn't drain so much.
Or are you using it for push notifications?
Clear all Facebook and Twitter tabs and see if it helps.
Cleared Chrome like 50+ times already, so that isn't the case.
Nope, I use the apps not the web versions.

Hi all,
I've had my LG G4 since September, and it's been a good phone. However, more so recently, the battery life has been terrible. When Doze decides to work on my phone the battery life is average, but it rarely seems to work. I use over 60% battery in 5 or 6 hours, and that's with most of the time the phone screen being off.
For example, tonight I went to see the new Star Wars film. Using that as a guide, my phone screen was off for about ~3 hours during that time. However, see attached, the battery is just being drained. There aren't any particular apps that I see using 90% battery or whatever - in fact, using a battery app, it looks like phone radio is using an incredible amount.
i.imgur.com/MCQ6Yz0.png
i.imgur.com/ziZEoEz.png
i.imgur.com/a8J9ufZ.png
Any tips for increasing the battery life? I don't see myself as an over user, but I often come out of an 8 hour work shift with just 20% left, and that's with mild web browsing every now and then, and maybe 20 minutes of YouTube video.
I'm thinking about doing a full restore on weekend after backing up my texts, or even ordering a new battery, but I don't feel this should be necessary.
My screen brightness is always 30% or lower. I don't know if this would have damaged the battery, but I use an Aukey quick charger.

I've been using it for 16 days now.
I updated though LG Bridge, and software info says V20a-EUR-XX
I've not done a factory reset, no. Will that help? All my photos, music and contacts are on Google's servers so I would just need to back up SMS and a list of apps.

Thanks. It looks like my SMS are already saved to my SD card, so hopefully they will work straight away.
I really hope a reset fixes it, as I heard such great things about the LG G4 battery (with people posting it can last 24 hours or more!), and this is very disappointing. I'm off this weekend, so I will do it then.
If anybody else has any fixes as well, I would love to hear them if this doesn't work! The phone is great so far... aside from this.

you are welcome
and please give marshmallow few days chance after updating to V20B then tell us how the battery goes

you have a rogue app or something, there is nothing wrong with Marshmallow 20B (or 20A for that matter) and battery life. I get insane battery life on this phone, often 22 - 30 hours of fairly heavy use.
Now granted, my phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked, running stock 20B and I have installed a couple of apps to optimize it such as AdAway, LBE security, and KinScreen, but still, you have a misbehaving app most likely that needs to be kicked off your phone!
Is there a way of finding which app? Nothing stands out. I've just taken another screenshot (disabling uploads Google Photos didn't fix it)-should screen off be using this much battery?

A reset is definitly in order tomorrow

sure, start with turning on Developer mode by hitting Build Number in rapid succession a bunch of times in Settings ---> About Phone ---->Software Info
then look in the new Developers Options section of Settings and look at Running Services & processes - you can also download an app for this such as Elixir 2
another good diagnostic tool is heat - heat and battery life are proportional, if your phone runs cool, it will get long battery life, if you pick it up and it is warm around the power/volume buttons, then something is amiss - you have a runaway app or process
download a tool like CPU Temp from the Play store and see what the CPU temp is when the phone is idle or you are doing something light like reading an article - it should be in the 78 - 89° F. range (25 - 32° C.) If the phone is not in this temp range, then something is amiss! - Also keep in mind that the main battery drain on the phone in normal operation is the display - keep auto-brightness on, and keep the display off when it is not needed! - also turn off stuff you are not using, such as Bluetooth, NFC, etc.
I did a factory reset as suggested above, and I think it fixed it. I didn't restore my LG backup as I figured that that'd restore the problem, so went through and downloaded apps again. I then left it on overnight.
After 6 hours it was still at 100% on Wifi, which is great! I then used the phone for ~2 hours (apparently pretty heavily) which actually dropped it to 58% - whoops. I then stopped using it again but this time without wifi, and it didn't keep at the same % - it seemed to drop 10% in about 2 hours. The only things I'd changed since then was install Skype (which I might delete if that's the issue), and had it on mobile data.

Could mobile data REALLY make that much of a difference? I think I'll leave it unplugged again tonight and not on wifi, and see what it does. This is an issue though if it is mobile, as I'm often not connected to a network.
Seems like mobile radio active bug, I have the same problem. While mobile data is active, my battery drains with the screen off. I have this issue since v20a and no - factory reset doesnt help at all...
Hello, people!
So, on 6.0.1. stock ENcrypted it was like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
about 5% lost per night
WiFi always on, whatsup, maildroid checking one imap mailbox for every 120 mins (set to wake up the phone), ok google OFF, now cards OFF, backup-ing OFF. Steady about 5% (4-6%) per night.
Now, I flashed factory image 7.0.0. everything stock. Then I flashed boot.img with disabled encryption and formated data and cache. Everything is as it is described above expect for the maildroid has NOT been even installed yet.
And that's what I get second night in a row (rebooted, cache wiped from recovery mode before leaving the phone):
23% eaten for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
What even worse, even android itself does not know what it was doing that it ate so much battery because the percentages does not add up for the whole drain.
After so many time invested into this phone for getting pure stock 7.0 unencrypted I just feel exhausted and want to throw this phone out of the window.
I'd appreciate a right direction for figuring out what drains the battery.
Yeah battery blows with nougat. Significant Google play services drain mainly bet scheduler. Had somewhat similar with MM but was able to really calm it down with Power Nap, bit since Xposed is not out yet for N....I'm nandroiding back to MM too.

I downgraded to MM, and it became normal. The next day I missed the quick switching between the last two opened apps and I flashed N again))
Actually, this night it drained 8% what is kinda OK. What I additionally did was that I disabled under google account sync everything except for the contacts and calendar. Also I activated data saver and added only whatsup there. Wifi was on all night, but he phone did not seem to be waking up during the night at all, what is good because I didn't need it to be doing anything except for idling in case someone calls for emergency. So, I guess after some hard tweaking and disabling things I can cope with N, but mostly for the sake of awesome interface features.

Just give it sometime...things are settling in...so a lot of time play services and stuff also go crazy...also apps are getting updated as well...give it a week or so...things will be better
I had this sort of issue on DP5 after a while but clean flashing MM stock and then re-OTAing to N seemed to fix it for me and I'm back at 5-6% overnight.
I honestly think there is a bug in there somewhere, whether its Google services or what i've no idea as my battery stats didn't seem to add up to the drain I was seeing. I had a similar weird drain before on MM too which a wipe sorted out.
give the system some time to settle in. i upgraded to N the day it came out and after giving android a few days i recognize no major difference in performance or battery life, even though things like Force Doze are incompatible now.
Sorry for off topic
How did you get that icon to the left of alarm icon in status bar (circular arc with + sign in the center)?
Thanks in advanced

That's a new data saver feature being turned on. Setting -> Data usage -> Data Saver option there
I went back to MM not because of the idle drain, infact, I had no drain but the SOT sucks... Like 2-3 hours instead of 4-5 on MM. Maybe I'll wakt until Xposed it compatible again...
Hi, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I posted about an issue with the screen, which is battery related as well. Actually when idle I have almost no battery drain (up to 2% per night). Could you take a look at this thread regarding the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/nexus-5x-android-7-screen-battery-usage-t3463591
I have screenshots prepared (even worse than what I've already described), but as already mentioned I don't have enough posts in order to be able to post them here.
Is this an issue with the screen, battery or OS? The device is new with the OTA Nougat update.
How exactly did you downgrade to Marshmallow? I'd like to know because my 5X drains battery like crazy without doing anything on 7.0

Flash factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Did that too but unfortunately for me it didn't fix my drain...
