Aggressive battery draining issue - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I own my Nexus 6P since January and in those times I managed to get over 5hours SOT (with any kernel and any rom basically). Then, I flashed the AK kernel version 63 and my troubles have started - it triggered massive battery drain. Then I tried to clean wipe and flash stock, then CM, then ElementalX kernel, then ResurrectionRemix, Fanco kernel, Blisspop, PureNexus and everything but the battery drain persisted even though I never flashed AK kernel again. It is 2 months now since I have this issue and I can not seem to locate the source of it. I thought a simple full wipe and flash would fix it, but it did not. I even tried to flash January's stock images, but it did not help either. I tried to uninstall Facebook, Messenger, Viber and all other apps, flashed older and newer Gapps, but NOTHING worked. The SOT that I can get from the first issue until now is MAXIMUM 3hours of SOT. I am desperate. Really desperate. Please, if any Android guru can help me I would really appreciate it with all my heart!

Have you tried a complete wipe and flashing the latest images?
Complete mean wiping the internal storage as well, there are some cases that some corrupted file triggered a media server drain
Worth a shot though considering you have tried everything else
Also don't expect another 5 hr sot
Since I'm the beginning you got 5 hr sot now less chances you'll get the same,
Telling you from my experience
I also bought it in jan and touched 7+hr sot twice and avg was 6hr 15 mins to 6hr 45 min
Now my avg is 5hr to 5 hr45 min
Battery was only good first couple months
Try the complete wipe and flashing stock images
DO A BACKUP OF YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY first!

Looking at your BBS stats, it shows you do not have a data connection 50% of the time. Are you turning your mobile data connection off or are you in an area where you have zero mobile data connection? Also, are your Google Play Services up to date? The reason I ask is because the com.google.android.gms alarm woke your device 1003 times at a rate of 1.2 per minute.

Hello, I have full coverage of data of my service provider, but even though sometimes my Nexus 6P drops the signal and so on.. but this happens only a few times in a day and it never happened to me that someone could not reach me because of that. Yes, I have all the Google apps and Google Play Services updated to the latest versions.

Are you in LTE coverage or only 4G/H+?
If you're in LTE, try disabling it and going with only 4G. If LTE coverage is low, then it could be the source for your drain.
Alternatively, if you're in WiFi zones regularly, use Tasker to disable mobile data all together (or 2G at the most) while connected to WiFi and then invert the same task to re-enable mobile data when you're out of WiFi range.
(Attached) I'm getting almost 2 days battery with my setup of the aforementioned tasker task, however I'm almost exclusively in WiFi zones. I took my device off the charger at 100% this morning at 10am sharp. It's now 20mins after 5pm, and I've been using it moderately and receiving a lot of texts and what not, with a Moto360 paired pushing notifications, etc. and I'm just ticking over to 86%.

I wish I could get battery life like that. I am at 3h2m of SOT and I'm at 10% from 7:30am to 11:45pm when I'm writing this post. And I charged it via USB for about 30 minutes around 9:20pm. All this without my smart watch. Had Gear 2 for my last phone(Note 3) but I cannot get that working well on the 6p so I ordered a Moto360. I'm scared to see how the battery takes that now also. I really need to tweak this phone, only had it for less than a week now.

Nougat battery drain

Hi,
Am I th only one that is getting this ridiculous battery life. I am barely going over 2 hours of SOT and maybe 8 hours of battery with light/medium use. Clearly something is off. I did FDR and wiped cache.
Any ideas?

Are you using facebook/snapchat? Most likely reason, post screenshot of battery usage or no one will be able to help.

I do use facebook from time to time. I can't post yet unfortunately. Hopefully you can view the image I left a link for underneath my original message.
I use snapchat and facebook disabled. A bit drainy though even after f reset.
No issues here. Seems the same as MM to me. Maybe just a little more than normal. It was bad at first but began settling after a few days.

Few suggestions,
Firstly I did was install battery stats app and check if you can find whats eating batery
If that doesnt help I would say flash firmware with odin including data(Backup before this). After that do an Full Reset and then try.
Since This is complete OS upgrade it will help clean lots of things. I am getting 5-6hrs SOT. All the best

I had terrible battery life initially as well. So I did a factory reset and...battery life still sucked. I think that was because I allowed Samsung and Google to restore my apps and previous app data. So, I did another factory reset and a completely clean installation of all my apps (no Samsung or Google-assisted restoring of apps). Since then, battery has been back to normal, which for me is about 4 hours of SOT.

Same here. I did a clean app install also and that helped. The only thing I allowed to be restored was my gmail calendar and contacts.
Yeah my upgrade made my phone glitchy and half the battery life I used to get. But on the plus side my phone doesn't run as hot and lock up when downloading large torrents.

System service drain

I was convinced on the forums that my system service drain was regular until I took a look at my buddy's phone , he has a le s3 with 2 sim cards and his system service doesn't normally go past 80 mAh on a full charge . Something has to be wrong
This is a screenshot of my sot when I first got the phone
8 hours of SOT is really good. You can try installing Wakelock Detector to get a different perspective. Also, anything that uses accessibility services may harm battery life. Another thing you can do is go to settings-permissions-autolaunch and disable autolaunching of apps that don't need to be running all the time. You can see what apps are currently running in settings - app management. One last thing is that your signal strength isn't that great, so it may just be how it's supposed to be.

I'm in the same boat as you, only I'm running OmniRom. But yeah, had 8h sot, can barely make 6 now, android system is my second biggest drain, with 2+ hours of cpu usage.
I have tried and I have found that 7.1 to 8.1 do not have the best battery life.
I personally have been aopk 6.01 and been getting great battery life.
I did do a stress test I did gaming and blasting next radio 21 minutes use only 6% of battery.

I've tried everything , disabled all apps in auto launch , tried it with airplane mode on , enabled background resource control . Never go past 7 hours max screen on time . My screen brightness is usually very low throughout the day
What are all of these services ? My buddy has none of these
You are running stock I take it.
Different ROMs are going different services like you show.

Went through a hard 12 hour process , finally unlocked bootloader , installed twrp and running lineage . Going to be testing battery life
I have the same problem with Eui rom. As long as the display is turned on, the system service will exploit the battery. Nobody knows that?
There are no such problems in custom roms.(Aicp,omni vs )

Flash Magisk and try Greenify4Magisk. It's gotta be some third-party app you're running, or you have a bad cellular connection. Are you getting full signal on your phone? Do you have LTE running as well?

stock Pie 9.0.11 to 9.0.6 downgrade problems please help

Went from rooted device with stock rom 9.0.11 back to 9.0.6 because battery on 9.0.11 was not impressive after a couple weeks.
I followed this proccedure https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516 , I downloaded the 9.0.6 fastboot zip file and then I extracted and opend the flash-all.bat file, Phone rebooted and everything was deleted (backup was already made), so at the moment I have 9.0.6.
A couple strange problem, youtube is acting very strange, the video stutters and there is not audio, also when trying to play spotify there is no sound at all. I think the flashing process was not really good otherwise I should have these kind of problems. Before I downgrade, everything was working fine.
So how should I procceed to fix this
Try clearing cache from stock recovery. Probably some things remained that need to be cleared out.
Also, I'm stock on 9.0.11 and get 2-3 days of great battery after a reboot, then performance degrades. At the moment I'm rebooting every 48-72 hours and all is well.

I fixed by following this guide https://phonebatao.com/guide-oneplus-6-how-to-downgrade-from-android-pie-9-0-to-android-oreo-8-1
so with 9.0.11 you have around 2/3 days batter life by rebooting your device at least 1/2 times to have that great battery lfe ? is that what your saying....
What I mean is that idle draw is quite low (2-3% overnight) for the first 2-3 days after a reboot. Actual time depends a lot on what I'm doing with it. If gaming , I get maybe a day off use before charging. If no gaming 2-3 days.

It varies widely. Some days i only use the phone 1 he SOT while others might be 5 hrs. I'm not predictable that way. But I know from many cycles that if I don't reboot by day 3 the idle draw goes up by a factor of 3-4. Rebooting cures it for a few days. Not sure where draw is from, Accubattery hasn't helped me narrow it down and I don't have BBS installed.

Better Battery Stats app. Works best if rooted or you give permissions via ADB. I'm not rooted and haven't bothered with it because my battery lasts fine if reboot now and then.

Battery issues on many custom ROMs

Hi guys, I've got a problem that keeps me forcing using stock ROM instead of custom ROMs. Basically, on every custom ROM I flash I get horrible battery life no matter what. Like 4 hrs SOT while on stock ROM with the same usage I can even double that result. It's very frustrating :/ anyone else experienced this? I've tried Pixel Experience, crDroid, Paranoid Android, CarbonROM and ElementalX.
On every single one of them I get horrible battery life after a week or so, still can't figure out why. As I said, stock ROM drains just fine and allows me two days usage with 7/8 SOT hrs. I remember having to revert back to stock because Paranoid Android 3 could barely last me until evening with ~4hrs SOT.
Any advices ?
Syberia Rom try ?
Trust me mate, i felt the same what you are feeling, tried all the roms but wont get satisfied with the battery but not with pixen os , its a beast in sot i wont get even 5 hours with other roms but in pixen able to get upto 7 hours of sot(without gaming) , after flashing you have to wait for a week to get better results. At first you will face deep sleep issues but its ok let the rom get adapt with your device after a week you will get better results. Its been a month still i am getting upto 6 hours of sot with lil bit heavy usage (without gaming). Good luck
Here's my stats for today. Definitely more than I'll ever need. This is my fav setup thus far using my 6t which I purchased from swappa used some months ago. I watched a ton of youtube vids, read lots of news from my Google news feed, texted for some hours using signal, made a few calls and read XDA of course. ?
I'm definitely happy with this. Normally I never even reach this far as I took my phone off charge a bit sooner than usual and it's waaaaayyy past my bed time. Haha!
My setup:
Corvus rom+ Radioactive kernel=?

Very rarely. Like maybe 30 minutes in those stats I posted here. Now I've made my tweaks. Installed Naptime and Servicely apps and tuned them and also installed magisk module to make Google services doze aggressively as well. And I wiped my phone and reinstalled OOS + Corvus rom+ Blu Spark kernel. This time I backed up my system partition so if I get all crazy installing sound mods I can restore my system and it's untouched. I stay on LTE almost always but when my phone's not being used most of the time I turn off my data and sync..

Bad battery life / new OP8Pro / 5-6h SOT / Tips?

Hi y'all,
bought my first OnePlus ever a week ago but I get like 5 hours of Screen On Time, while I saw here on xda people getting even 10 hours with 120 Hz.
Running latest stock ROM, not rooted because I actually don't need root.
FHD+ 120Hz, no AOD.
Factory reset done, Wipe Cache done.
I'm not gaming, using my phone for Chrome, WhatsApp and Social Media (not 24/7).
Any tips for me?
I kinda do like the phone and may keep it, but I hate to say that my 3 years old P20 Pro still gets 6-8h SOT. I know, display is better on 8Pro but still...
I dont have a problem installing custom ROM and custom Kernel if that's gonna get me towards those 8+ hours SOT.
If installing custom ROM, I still need my banking apps working/safe, if that's maybe not the case.
Thanks!
Stay on latest OOS, root and use a custom kernel

But with root my Banking Apps may not work right? Paypal/Crypto/etc. may not work or be safe either or?
I already tried debugging with GSAM Battery Monitor and noticed that Google Play Services wakes the device pretty often but somehow doesnt use much % Power. Google Play Services has also the highest Sensor Time of all apps.
Any tips on that one?
And also, which Kernel? Bluspark?
Turn auto brightness off if on; then set brightness low.... See if it helps.

It will take few days to settle up but still, with stock OOS it was bad.
I flashed LineageOS + Magisk + Radioactive Kernel and I am still testing it out but it doesnt seem to be much better than stock. Maybe a bit but no way of reaching 8 hours SOT.
I'd suggest try something else and report here, so I can test it out too.
I was thinking of testing PixelExperience and/or Stock rooted OOS with custom Kernel but I'll give a LineageOS a chance 2-3 days more.

Thanks. I just installed Omega Kernel and that seems to have made a slight difference.
Do you use AccuBattery by chance? My estimated capacity is 3855 mAh ~ design capacity is reading correct @ 4510 mAh. Not sure how accurate this is, but it would mean that the battery isn't what it should be or received a used device / defective battery?

Thanks. I just installed Omega Kernel and that seems to have made a slight difference.

Nope, I dont use AccuBattery. Tbh I think it cant read the value correctly.
I actually flashed Havoc Rom 2 hours ago, no custom kernel. Ill check how it's gonna be.

How can you flash Havoc | Custom Roms without TWRP? Where can I find Havoc? I didn't see in the custom ROMS / Kernels section.

How's Havoc battery life after a day? I added Naptime and am using the Magisk Module GMS Doze. My overnight drain dropped from 10% to 7%, which is still way too high. I am using xXx No Limits as well.

I haven't set my phone fully yet because i wanted to try the Rom out. I have now "only" Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord and few smaller apps logged in but that's it. I don't know about standby drain but I'm now at 51% battery with 4hours screen on which means it's better but still no chance of reaching 10 hours. 7 hours should be reachable right now

If you don't use bluetooth, wifi, nfc disable them .Enable when you use them.
Uninstall or at least disable apps you don't use.
Enable battery saver and other settings in settings.
Order a battery from Oneplus if still the battery still low.
