So I've been experiencing some very bad battery life ever since i got this phone. I get between 5-7 hours of battery life with an average of 3 hours of on screen time. I do use a lot of Spotify, Bluetooth and Instagram. Instagram makes my phone feel hot quickly. Like its using a lot of CPU. I've also noticed i got a few wakelocks. Any help? Anyone got any tips? I don't feel like deleting Instagram neither lol

I also have Instagram Greenified. If i didn't manually close Instagram before shutting the screen off, it would keep running in the background and keep my phone hot.
This might sound stupid, but it worked for me before, but have you tried just restarting the phone? One time I was getting terrible battery life over several battery cycles and doesn't know how to get rid of the wakelock so I restarted my phone and next cycles were a lot better. It might just be a "band-aid" for the real problem, but it might help some.

So I have been having battery issues on my Note 3 for a while now. Android system has been a large offender of using my battery, but I've also noticed that there are gaps in my mobile network signal. From this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26891039&postcount=14 I'm gathering that my radio is off? This happens when screen is on, but mostly when it's off. During these times I can get texts, and everything works fine. Just my battery starts to drain faster. The area under my camera also gets rather hot. This is my 2nd Note 3 with this issue, the first one was RMAed because it would not get messages on time.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I believe with your radio off you should drain less battery. Mine does it too, and I have awesome battery life without being rooted. Usually well over 24 hours with heavy use, and 6 hours or more on screen time. I recently did a factory reset so maybe that's what you need for better life?

Hello.
So the name of the thread sums it all up: I get TERRIBLE battery life, barely two hours of screen on time. Why?
I am using the latest build of XOSP which many have said is the best for battery life, some getting 6 hours of screen on time. It dosen't last a day, 2 hours of screen on time is the max I can bet out of it even with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned off which I find very strange.

I even use Greenify and have hibernated basically all apps and I just can't understand to what I owe this drainage.
I am thinking of installing Boeffla, if so could you guys give me some cool Kernel settings below?
Cheers
You'll get your best battery on WiFi. You need to look at your signal strength and you will see if your phones getting weak signal it will chew through battery. Also boeffla on it's own is more performance. If you want battery change governor or try bluspark. Nothing really wrong with your stats other then mobile standby. Which I only get when I'm in bad coverage are for long periods of time.
Did u wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing something?
Please do so if u didn't.
Also need the new rom to charge a few cycles before full potential on battery life.
Hello guys, I've been using a 6P for about 3 weeks now, coming from a Nexus 4 with CM13.
I've been getting somewhat between 3,5h to 4,5h of SoT, but everytime I check the Battery graph, the Android System and Android OS consumption seems pretty high. On my old Nexus 4, these two never got over 6%, and I didn't found many reports of those 2 proccesses taking that much bettery.
I don't really know what it can be, and I feel that I should be getting a better battery life if I didn't have this problem.
Running Stock and Unrooted on 7.1.1. Anyone got this problem before?

That SOT sounds about right for this phone, unfortunately. Especially if you are on stock and don't use a custom kernel with battery easy profile.
There are thousands of report of people complaining that they are in the top list but that doesn't matter, what counts is your overall drain. Which is very dependent on the apps you use, your baseband station, and your usage. 4.5h is a good average for this phone.

So I have noticed that my battery has been struggling lately. I installed GSAM battery monitor and I was surprised at the results. I have the fist 2 screen shots were the drain overnight without use and the second after use throughout the day. Android system is by far the highest by % user of the battery. Interested if you have any suggestions or others have had this problem.

Diagmonagent is doing something horrible and stupid on your phone. It shouldn't be running much less taking up your entire battery! The easiest answer is to factory reset, but you can try disabling Diagmonagent with a package disabler and see if that helps.
Currently running stock 8.0 most recent firmware. Most I can possibly squeeze out is 2.5 hours of SOT with AOD enabled and about 50% screen brightness.
One other issue unrelated is that I simply can not get OEM unlocking to show up in dev options. I have updated manually with the update.zip to the newest firmware and waited multiple weeks and it still hasn't shown up. Not sure if this has anything to do with my horrible battery life. You may say that it seems normal but my battery is supposedly at 89% life and is only lasting until around 5pm, which I'm sure is not the case for most of you.
Relevant screenshots attached. Any help is appreciated!

The latest update seems to have caused this. Mine was affected too, but found a hard reset and careful managing of apps has helped. But still not as good as battery life on Nougat. Hoping the October patch will fix this....whenever that gets released.
I don't know why this is happening to some, but here i can't complain about anything... I am using it like before with all the apps that i have. I even didn't turn off the apps monitor etc.
i dont even use my phone like i used to, and its battery is crappy now ): guess i need to factory reset it so it can be lit as before
