'Removed user' drain battery - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I m on 100% stock lolipop. I installed it clean and with faastboot.
The system is every time awake and removed user drain more battery than SOT.
Any suggestion?

So you played with guest user and had battery drain, so you removed the guest user without fixing or finding the cause of the drain? Try wiping cache, if that fails I hate to say it but you are probably better off to wipe (do a factory reset).

hmm, I don't know if it's related, but i also removed the lollipop Guest user after just having clicked on it once. This was on my 2012 Nexus 7 though, but ever since it's been extreeemely sluggish, way more that any lollipop review on it has found (like 30 sec to fire up an app). I'm thinking of doing a reset on it to see if that helps, because it's mostly useless now.

Battery life horrible - Doze not working

My battery life is going from bad to worse. Doze doesn't ever seem to work. My phone is now down to 12 % and I have had a SOT of 21 minutes since the last Charge. I am rooted and have Greenify installed. GSam Battery is telling me that App usage is accounting for 86% of the battery usage with Kernel and Android System being the biggest battery eaters. How can I get doze to work again? Also I sometimes see that my Screen is not turning off on its own. Even hitting the power button won't turn off the Screen.
Doze stopped working for me from the time I updated to 6.0.1. But the phone does a last a day with normal usage.

Totally reset my phone and configured as new device.
Installed apps one by one and again 20% discharge overnight.
The phone seems to really go into sleep but I still get this constant discharge slope.

Excessive battery drain of "Android System" in B192, EMUI 4.0

Good morning guys.
These days my Mate 8 has had an excessive consumption of battery due to the process "Android System", with an abnormal percentage of 40-60% of consumption. I've done a wipe cache, I've deleted applications, I've done cleaning the folders in memory, but not lower than 40%. The process has come to consume 2010 mah.
I do not know what can be, the only explanation I can think of is that Google is gathering information in some process, but I have deactivated everything I could (GPS in Gapps, history, voice, etc.)
I do not want to upgrade to Nougat because of the battery problems of many users. I'm thinking of doing factory reset but I'm going on a trip these days and I can not for now.
The screen hours are around 4:30 - 5:30 approx (usually that is 7 or 8). The funny thing is that it goes into deep sleep without problems.
Does anybody else have this?
P.D: these days I have been without Wifi, only with 4G, I do not know if that can influence this.

Standby drain 8.1 OPM1

I seem to be losing between 8-10% overnight since clean flashing OPM1. Anyone else seeing this? I can't peg it on a particular app and accubattery reports anywhere from 0.8-1.2% loss with screen off. If I just tap the power button to see accubattery stats, the current drain without going into anything ranges from 54mah to sometimes as high as 150mah. I may try a factory reset to resolve but curious to what others numbers are.
I'm using latest stock 8.1 and find it has the best standby I've ever seen. Either your battery is over year or two and starting to degrade. Or you need to do some spring cleaning when was the last time you backed everything up and wiped internal. You'd be amazed the wonders that does with rogue apps and missfunctioning features after completing wiping and installing fresh copy of stock.

Just bought a new OEM battery that is reporting 101% capacity so that's not it. Also, clean flashed 8.1 when I loaded it although I restored from my cloud backup. I just factory reset today but honestly, I felt it was worse so I completely blew everything out again, redownloaded 8.1 and flashed again. This time I chose to set up as a new device without using the cloud backup. The only thing I manually backed up and restored was text using a 3rd party app. I am adding my apps back a few at a time but it seems to be a little better as of now but will have to give it a couple days to settle down. Not rooted yet either.
Some are reporting that "mobile data always active" is enabled by default in developer options on 8.1. Have you tried disabling this?
To compare this with op, I got 84% battery health and a drain over night of 4%. Stock 8.1, Nova launcher beta, SuperSU beta, mobile data always active is off. May an app is responsible for your 10% draining ? Any social stuff like fb ???
I turned off mobile data always active and when I clean flashed the second time, I did not put any social media apps on the phone but saw no difference. I ended up putting fb, messenger lite and Instagram back on and they aren't impacting negatively. It's only been 2 days and have only rebooted a couple times.. battery is still reporting 101% capacity. I'll give it a another day or 2 to settle down bc at some points it seems to be very efficient while others it doesn't but that's better than before the 2nd clean flash.
Looking at my accubattery stats, I'm still losing about 1.1% battery per hour with the screen off. I also noticed that so far in the ~7 hours my phone has been off the charger today, it's only been in deep sleep about 51% of the time that the screen has been off. What happened to the built in wakelock detector that was highlighted in https://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-8.1-Oreo-wakelocks-battery-draining-apps_id99715? Does anyone see this actually working or is this yet another "Pixel exclusive". I cannot figure this out so I guess I'll have to download a 3rd party wakelock detector but the reality is, even if I do find the culprit, it's usually not anything that is easily identifiable or fixable. Am I really the only one having this issue??

Bixby Global Actions and Bixby Services causing high Android System battery drain?

Hi,
My Samsung Galaxy S8+ used to hit 5 hours of screen on time minimum. But lately it has been tanking at about 1 percent every 3 minutes or so. When checking battery stats, it says that it is a high android system battery usage. When checking apps for potential battery drain, Bixby Global Actions and Bixby Services was 84 percent of the Android System battery drain. Please assist? Has this happened to anyone else? Should I factory reset?
Same thing happened to me right after the Oreo update. Last night I disabled all Bixby related apps, will see how it affects battery life until tonight. will update.

Perfect. Thank you so much. Look forward to your update. I did perform a factory reset so will also update after a few days of use
Any update on this? I was getting terrible battery life on my S9 due to high Android System drain. I did a factory reset and everything was great until I set up Bixby. Then Android System started killing battery life. I disabled everything related to Bixby but it still continued. Just did another factory reset and all is good again, but I'm scared to accidentally hit that button.
Hi,
Unfortunately still no news. I've tried clearing my cache multiple times. But still cannot find the culprit. I have managed to make my standby battery drain decent by updating to the latest March security update. But there is still a high Android system battery drain when using the phone. About 1% battery every 3 minutes.
I'm in the same boat. I did some research and found users complaining about bixby global action and bixby service draining thier batter after the oero update. I looked at my own results and found them draining 178% each! I just disabled the both of them but I'm still losing 1% about every 4 or 5 minutes. Going recharge my phone and see what results I get.
Got sick of this oreo update, the battery isnt as good as nougat even with crd7 and also if you set display on wqhd and u use app pair , after that when u hit the multitaskig button there is an animation stuter, i cannot cope with this.
And I had problems with batery but now it is better.
Clean cashe in recovery menu
Set Wi Fi to energy saving
Disable Google services in backround
With this now my batery is 15 - 20% better.
With or without Bixby - same.
My soft is CRD7

Massive battery drain mi 9T

Hello guys! Yesterday I updated to miui 10.3.15 and i experienced massive battery drain overnight from android os. Last night I charged it full 100% and in the morning it was 19%. And this is with only 20 minutes of SOT. What may be the cause? Airplane mode is on, because I am on vacation in country where i cannot use roaming. I deleted the cache and rebooted the device and I think it is fixed but i will know when I fully charge the device.
try new beta android Q, is awesome for battery life
"9.9.26 - First MIUI 11"
Install Europe version ?
Im on mi-globe 9.9.26 and i suffer battery drain and heating issue
The pix for reference
This happened to me once. I believe is not a battery issue it's more like a process keeping wake up and eating the battery. When this happened to me I reboot the phone and charge it again and issue not happened again.
This keeps happening to me every few days.
I had to manually disable autostart for all apps. And i did not even know which ones I need and which ones I don't.
But it did not help, it keeps reapearing.
Same
This happened to me a few days ago and happens again every few days. I don't remember if it was after the installation of MIUI 11 or earlier, but I would think it is a software issue that Xiaomi should investigate.
The only solution I found was to close all applications and restart the phone before charging it.
I have no issues, my advice is whenever installing an os update it's always best to do a factory reset in order for the phone to run at optimal performance. When i updated i did not reset my device but i made sure to clear all app cache and reboot the phone after update. My SOT is normally 8-9 hours, also i made sure all my apps are up to date and their are no background apps that are draining my battery.
