So does that indicate that Kik is keeping my phone awake most of the time ? Or what...[emoji53]
Thanks in advance[emoji4]

I'm pretty sure the alarms are events (such as a kik message) made by kik to wake your phone. If you receive a lot of kik messages, that would explain the excessive alarms.
The main part you want to be focusing on in BBS is the 'kernel wakelocks' and 'partial wakelocks' to determine if/what anything is preventing your device from deep sleep.

Clearly Kik is keeping your phone from sleeping a large number of times. That may not necessarily have a significant impact on your battery. You'd need to know the type and duration of wakelocks.. or at least a metric on how much battery that app uses. You could try disabling the app and see how much longer your battery lasts for a better idea. If you do that, try to minimize the number of variables that change.
Your delta change, i.e. using 11% battery per hour isn't attrocious. But that is also highly variable depending on your configuration. Much of my light usage averages about 7% /hr. But if I am doing something processor intensive e.g. transcoding, it can approach 20%.

seems like no one knows the answer =(
The wording makes it sound like the connection to the cell network in on standby. Kind of like Wifi powersaving where it goes down to low powerstate when there's no activity.

no activity = idle, right? =\

Not quite. Idle means "not doing anything" while standby is more "shutting down temporarily". Even though it's not shutdown it's entered a low-power mode where it just uses enough power to keep going while it waits for activity.
It's like the difference between leaving the computer running and not doing anything or suspending it.
Forgive me if this is OT, but is there a way or any s/w that will tell us about the sleep/wake status of the phone..
It should be easier to co-relate the standby/idle values using them.
if you click on each line in battery usage
i.e- click on cell standy by...it will tell you what it means.
hence by doing so the x10 tells you:
Cell Standby - battery used by cell radio
Phone Idle - battery used when phone is idle

See deep sleep?
An idle phone should be spending most of the time in this state.
If so, you are fine. All is well.
If not open Badass.
Here click on the bottom line which shows app usage.
Here is what you see. Kernel is at the top for me as there are no rogue apps.
If your device is not going into deep sleep and kernel is the one taking most CPU, it can be ram issue
NOTE : THIS method is android generic. Not specific to note.

I had Facebook show up under kernal because it was accessing my GPS. I use better battery stats which offers a really good way to show you what is using your battery. badass didn't help in that case, it only showed that the kernal was using the battery because GPS falls under it. Better battery stats showed me it was the GPS and then it also showed me that my router wouldn't let me phone sleep, so a static IP fixed it.
Badass is nice, but it's very generic when it comes to android specific functions that are being called upon. It's only good to show apps that are using the processor, not the functions or processes that the apps are calling up if they do so.
Regardless, thanks for the how to guide.

[Q] can someone explain to me about battery info?

Hi guys, I never really understood the meaning of those hours when i click on my battery status. On the pic shown, it says: 1H 10m 29s on battery. Can someone explain to me what that means? It seems very low to me, and i just got my phone 2 days ago. It is the octa-core version i9500.
I also see that media takes up most of the battery, and I dont know what that is.
Plz explain?

It just means your phone is for 1H10M29S unplugged from the power plug :fingers-crossed:
If you click on media you can see which apps are contained in media and stressing your battery.
having wifi on, and using my phone for normal usage and its allready 77% in just 1 hour... I hope the battery does improve as what some people say if you have a new device.
In 3 hours i have a loss of 7% while using Whatsapp and Instagram, 3G is activated.
Did you activate auto. Sync (Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Samsung stuff), Gestures, AirView and so on permanently? If so, please switch them off, this will help for a longer battery runtime (only if you dont need them all the time).
How a about the display brightness? automatic oder manual setting?
#offtopic What is that font & needed to root to change it?
#ontopic The time will not reset after you plug it in for a short time.

WhatsApp / Facebook on background alot of the time

Hey guys,
I bought OnePlus 6T last week, so far I'm really liking the phone but there is something strange with the battery stats:
I charged the phone yesterday to 100% before going to sleep, then left it out of the charger to see how much it would use, in 9 hours it used 5% (it's okay, but maybe it could be better?), the strange this is, from the dump file from BBS attached, you can see that WhatsApp and Google play services were using sensors all the time, what's is happening with them?
Also, on the process tab, it's showing Telegram on top, what does it mean?
Now, after 30% being used with 2.4 screen hours, I can see these stats on these stats on the battery menu:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Facebook used 13% with 1:36 hours in use and 13:25 in background
Telegram used 7% with 0 in use and 0 background (I didn't even open it today)
WhatsApp used 2% with 19min active and 4 hours in background
Can anyone help with what might be happening here?
I attached a dump from BBS from the moment I wake up (idle) and from now.
Thanks.
Facebook app is just a rubbish. It's known for draining battery
Yes I know Facebook drains lots of battery, but that does not explain why it's running so much time in the background, I have checked other people phones and they do not experience such thing, this is probably something with my phone
get rid of the facebook app...problem solved, and you will have a happier life..

I am facing the same issue, people everywhere say they get 8-10 hours of sot and I am blown, the maximum I get is 6 hours that too on wifi.
For some reason my the highest drain is by whatsapp.

I'm suffering the same with WhatsApp.
Just disable all notifications of whatsapp, both on OS and on the app

Thanks you very much. Now WhatsApp consumption is back to normal.
It's funny when people judge vendor for something that is not but the issue can be junk apps like WhatsApp, I don't use that Trojan whole but anyways not the point, you should understand that you have to control the work of the apps on your device if you have them a lot, in my case I have 100 apps something and they all configured to my needs and I charge my phone once a day, that includes using it as a work tool, watch media, internet surfing, even play games sometimes, basically all they long active and no issues. If it were a global issue that would affect all of the phones but not random. Just think about it.
