Am I the only one who is facing battery drains since I updated the phone with the August patch? I mean, the battery life used to be awesome before, while now I barely reach 3/4 hours of screen on time... I can actually see the % dropping faster than before.
Should I try a factory reset? I never did it since I bought the phone on April...
Yes. I thought it was just me. I had Media Server chewing battery in the first day but now that seems to have called down and it jays not add good now.
I have the G935F and just received the August security patch about four days ago. I haven't observed that the battery is draining faster than prior to the patch.
I also have G935F and am having a lot of battery drainage after the August update. I don't know what to do!! Anybody got any ideas?
In regards to MediaServer.
If your using Google chrome then this can be a bug associated with it.
I disabled Chrome and started to use the Samsung Browser and up to now that's stopped MediaServer which was using approximately 24% of my battery according to the Stats. (Fingers crossed)
Or try Chrome Dev.

yes, its true.
instagram drain a lot of battery.
i dont know why.
you.don't.say....!1!
Dang, if this is true, this explains my horrible battery drain today (worse than usual). Hopefully they will send a new update out soon.

This has been extensively discussed in numerous threads relating to new rom i.e. battery drain. Instagram engages your GPS and keeps pinging it incessantly..... ergo the battery drain.
The Fix is to disable the app and only turn on when you want to use, then use the task manager to close the app. That way it does not work in the background.....
Now you have an Answer..............
...........THREAD CLOSED...........
So a lot of people and myself over on the Nexus 6P subreddit have been discussing about the possibility of some sort of battery drain with the arrival of the Feb patch. On any ROM/kernel combination (and even on stock at some point), my phone very easily reaches 4:45-5:00 of screen time throughout a day that is from 7am-10pm for me. Over the last month, it has progressively gotten worse, on some days reaching low levels with just 3:30 SoT. After using various ROMs, I decided to try out bone stock to see if I would get the same result (this was 3 days ago). And that has been the case... The phone barely reaches 4 hours of screen time.
Well you might suggest: "Disable services such as location and sync" or "What apps have you recently installed that could be causing drains?" And that's the thing. My usage patterns have not changed at all. I barely download new apps and always stick to using the same ones. Today my location was off for a very long time and I've still gotten the same battery. I've been keeping my eye on the awake bar on battery info, and the phone sleeps as it should, so I'm sure there aren't any rogue apps.
I am seeing this as well. I actually went back to stock to see if it was the ROM I was using. Seeing the same battery degradation on stock. Running MMB29Q with Feb security patch as you can see from screen shot. Wonder if Google is aware of this. Cannot be a coincidence.

Haven't noticed this at all, I'm getting the exact same battery performance as I always have.
I haven't noticed any extra battery drain either.
I definitely noticed this myself.
I did a factory reset and it seems to have helped, but I've only tested it for one day since.

I have bought this phone in the beginning of February and my battery experience is TERRIBLE. It drained 20% battery in 16h with 17 mins SOT. I'm extremely disappointed in this device. I tried Stock, chroma and Pure Nexus and even when 0 apps are installed my battery goes AWOL. Really this is a nightmare where I paid alot of money for this phone and it acts like a personal energy waste device.

1.2%/hr drain isn't great, but not bad either depending on reception/installed-apps/notification/etc
I'm running 6.0.1 feb patch. Get about 0.6%/hr screenoff drain, but I'm mostly on good wifi connection. If running around town on LTE i'd get some where around 1% screen off drain.
I've noticed that ever since the Feb security patch, the battery has drained a little faster than usual also, with no change in usage behavior.... Can someone please notify google about this?
I have not noticed anything different.
Running stock with ElementalX kernel.
I've been noticing the same thing. I used to be able to go for 4+hrs of screen on. Now, 3.5 is normal. I am on PureNexus, but I've not changed anything in the last month, after the update.
I bought the phone on 28th February. 30 minutes after arrive at home, flashed Cyanogen, and draining about 1% each minute with screen on.
Yesterday I flashed PureNexus and now reaches 3.5 hours with screen on. Way better, but still terrible.
I've noticed the same increased battery drain. I've been investigating the issue for weeks and didn't know what caused the issue until hitting this thread.
The February update introduced the SystemUpdateService wakelock on my 6P. It kept the phone awake 95% of the time and I couldn't get rid of it. I updated via fastboot with the factory images at the time. I flashed back to the January build and the wakelock disappeared. Flashed the February update again and SystemUpdateService wakelock came right back.
I didn't try a clean install with the February factory images to see if it would fix it. Maybe it would have, maybe not. I decided to give Pure Nexus a try after I couldn't fix it. I'm considering doing a clean install once the March update is released.

Same battery issues as described for me.
I am glad to see that I am not the only one having a problem all of a sudden. I am running stock, but was about to root and run a custom ROM after becoming frustrated with the suddenly increased battery drain. I used to drop only three or 4% overnight, but now it is about 20%, with Google App being a prime user of battery even without OK Google being activated. Doze does not seem to be working as it did before. I am going to try shutting off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at night to see if that makes a difference, but it never seemed to matter before leaving those on. Also, I do not see a way to automatically turn off push mail service at night or on a specific schedule as I could do with previous phones.
I'm glad. I thought I was the only one experiencing this.

Interesting - I have noticed that the battery life has tanked on my 5X fairly recently (been using it for a few weeks - will try on the 6P next).
Presumed it was just a rogue app or something, although nothing seems to be causing excessive wake locks etc. It is hard to quantify though, so it could just be looking for a problem where there isn't one.
I'm doing a clean install on my Nexus 6P from the March security update factory images, should be able to see if the battery life I'm getting is similar to January as I have a fair idea of what percentage my phone was usually down to at the end of the day.
A clean install of 6.0.1 with Feb patch and only stock apps. It's been sitting on my bed since a full charge 5 days ago. Looks like the Feb patch is not having much of an impact on battery life.
I turn my phone on airplane mode at night and the last few nights I did this, I experienced 0-1% battery drain overnight, which was also pretty much in line with what I saw for my old S6. Last night, however, my battery dropped 3% overnight while on airplane mode. In GSam, it says most of the battery use was due to Kernel, then followed by Android System.
This can't be normal? Considering my S6 had a 2550 mAh battery and the S7 edge has a 3600 mAh battery, the S6 would have been using less than 25.5 mAh overnight while the s7 edge was using up to 108 mAh overnight. Considering that Marshmallow has doze, I'm really not sure what could have been using up this much battery!
Do any of you guys have any possible insight into this?
Anyone? I've been checking battery usage over the last few nights and it seems to drop about 3% every night in airplane mode.
There is a leak somewhere within the system apps.

Thanks for the response. Is this a known issue that's happening to many or am I one of few?

It's a known issue happening to many people with the US version of the phone. The one with the Snapdragon CPU.
Found this thread while searching for a solution regarding my Moto G (2nd), because I'm facing exact the same problems. I have NO root (everything stock), and lately I hoped the upgrade from L to M would solve the problem, but yesterday it was back again. The continous battery drain started somewhere at the late afternoon, and didn't even stop after switching off everything you can (inlcuding autosync) before going to bed. Very annoying, though the first days after the upgrade looked promising. This bug seems to be a general problem in Android, and for me it started last year with Lollipop.
Facing poor battery life since last 3-4 days. I had factory resetted the phone but nothing helped
Earlier I used to get around 6-7 hours of SOT on with wifi on and moderate usage. Now I hardly get around 4.5-5 hours with same usage.
Anyone facing such issue?
Any news that the feb update will solve the battery drain issue?
Same here. I am barely getting 3hrs SOT. 7000000.ssusb is keeping phone awake and it doesn't go in deep sleep mode.
Facing same issue, guessing this device was a wrong choice for me! ?
Mine arrived today. Downloading the 1000mb update. Must be Oreo?
Have you performed procedures to conserve battery life?
How to ... Disable Check Wizard (wi-fi and bluetooth), Disable sending of analyzes to Mi, restrict data usage of apps in the background and remove vibration from the keyboard.
What version of android?
Try to install BBS (better battery stats) to determine what is the cause of your battery drain.
In my case i had activated erroneously wifi scanning under geolocalization option and it's a big battery hog.
Where is that in menu exactly?
assuming you are on android 8 it can be found under geolocalization --> search, while in android 7 it is under geolocalization-->upper right corner three dots-->search
Ps
BBS can be used without root privileges, just read here

Same issue
it went down from 8 hours sot to just barely 5 after oreo downgrade.
I have no issues whatsoever with battery life on this phone. As a matter of fact, I often get over one day's usage out of it.
Run the battery analysis programs instead of whingeing on here.
I have posted screenshot of my problem below. I have flashed ROM multiple times and still the battery drain won't stop. It went away for some days and I was getting 5hrs sot but now again the problem has started. No idea why.

Those pics say you're getting 12 hours of battery since last charge and are at 23%.
Talking about SOT which is way less as i barely used phone. It's basically like battery being drained for no reason at night. Look at system using all the battery.Is that normal?

Install Accu battery from play store then check your notification, normal average consumption between -150 and -400, if more then check the app to see which app drain your battery

I'm using this MiA1 since Sep 2017, and it's flawless with Android 8.1.0 Nov 2018.
You have a BAD OS (Pie), not really suitable for this phone. I'm getting more than 80% of the time (of Screen Off state) as Deep Sleep Mode. Depending on the usage, 80% charged battery is giving me 30-40 hrs with 10% SoT.
Our immature/childish attitude to anything FREE and the LATEST, and greedily grabbing it, makes us miserable.
We forget the old Adage: "A Bird in Hand is worth Two in the Bush"
After last security update, April one probably, I have to charge my phone twice a day instead of once, battery drain is literally double. Nothing suspicious when I check battery app drain too, everything shows like before there.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips?
Cheers!
I have the same thing for a couple of weeks now. I installed simple sysmon and it shows all cpu threads working at a 2.02ghz which is their's maximum, so I guess this is why battery dies so fast now. But I can't pinpoint why, seems like planned degradation to me, which is a shame.
Restart helps for a 10-20 hours, but I'm getting tired of restarting it all the time)
i have the same problem

i think we shoud use a custom rom
Same issue here, the android system drains 90% of the battery life in 10h standby...
