In the past week or so, I've noticed that my battery is draining unusually fast. I will take the phone to bed with me (I use it as an alarm clock) at 100% battery and I can wake up 7 hours later with it at 82%. When I look at my battery information, I see steady, solid drain over that time, with the biggest offender being Google Services. When I look in Wakelock Detector, I see the most usage (though seemingly not a ton) by Android System.
I found some tips on using Wakelock Terminator in Xposed to filter some things from Google Play Services from triggering wakelock, and I was optimistic, but it didn't seem to help.
Any advice?

Are you on a stock rom? Did you try greenify? It's on the play store. It kills the apps background services and the app itself until you start the app or the app is started by another app or service. Soon as the app os no longer needed it is turn back off. This program does not freeze apps it prevents them from running until needed.
Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned my rom and such. I'm running ForceROM, a relatively older version (maybe 2.3?), since I never felt the need to update.
I haven't tried Greenify. Haven't actually heard of that one before. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip.

Try a custom kernel like KToonsez in addition to Greenify. It's amazing what you can end up doing with that kernel
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
ForceROM includes Ktoonsez kernel. For the last 8 months or so, I've had great battery life. This is a sudden and recent change, which I'm assuming to be caused by an update of some Google app (such as Play Services).
How do I use Greenify? Or do I just install it and it does magic?

Do you have auto-sync enabled? What Google Services do you have enabled for sync? I used to have a similar issue but turning off sync for things I don't use (like newsstand, etc) helped my battery life a lot.

I believe that installing Greenify might have done it. Battery usage looks much better today. I'll do a real test tonight when I get it charged to 100% before bed.
Well, I'll be...
I think that the problem is wifi. When I'm at home, I'm on wifi, and the battery is constantly draining. When I'm not at home, and on mobile data, the battery is well-behaved.
What's up with that?

Some apps can be setup to sync over WiFi only instead of 3G/4G data. but you have to check what apps would be the culprit. I know Google play, dropbox's picture upload feature can be set to download/upload/update over WiFi instead of data. But the only way to know is to see what apps connect over WiFi.
WiFi is suppose to give you better battery life since its signal is usually nearby and your phone doesn't have to use more power to find a better signal like it does with 3g/4g. I know for me it does since there are very few towers in the middle of the dessert.

No, I use Swiftkey.
So, interesting twist to this saga. Leaving wifi off takes away the solid blue bar on the battery screen, but I still see the same level of battery drain (about 18% overnight). Very intriguing.
Agreed

Sounds like you're losing power to things syncing over wifi. Maybe try just giving it a week and watching it to see if it settles down. Google play sometimes settles down on its own. I also vote to check out greenify. With the donation package you can work wonders at calming down power hungry apps, even system apps.

My situation has suddenly taken a turn for the much worse. I don't know what's going on. I haven't added anything new or changed any settings since installing Greenify a while back. Now, the battery is just tanking. I got up to 100%, ran Battery Calibration and now, about 2.5 hours later, I'm at 82%. Could this just be a problem with the battery itself? Do I need to replace it?

Honestly there are a few days where the battery life suddenly drops dramatically. I've experienced this on unrooted mf9, mk2, and nae. Give it some time and see if battery life comes back up. You can reboot the phone to kill a rouge app that might be the cause.

This is the first I've heard the term MJA, so I don't think I'm on that.
There definitely do seem to be days where battery is worse than others. And I do typically try to reboot when I see it acting too squirrelly. I'll just keep keeping an eye on it. Weird-ass phone...
2.20.40.41 ze550ml battery backup is THE worst. inspite of greenify, amplify, apps ops, powernap, battery drains so much. Damn Asus!
So true...., like an Iphone...
Androis OS at the end of the day is nearly 54%
I would recommend the latest build of the SuperZen R19 and the custom kernel by TheSSJ V75 .... use the SSJActive Governor and the Sioplus for I/O ... then kindly report back!!
I agree, if I knew the battery would be this terrible, I'd never bought this phone.

yup, unhappy with battery backup eventhough it has 3000mah. also due to Android 5.0 bug
21% of Android OS bug for 2% screen use, yeah, Android OS seems to be THE issue of battery draining.
Here is the link to the 8 hours SOT http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/orig-development/rom-slimlp-t3169982/page11
It is infuriating. Seems to be impossible to get the phone to sleep properly. Today mine seems to have stuck permanently awake. And the WiFi seems to be almost always on, even when it is supposed to be completely off.
ZE550ml user here. I can easily past 5 hours SOT in 20 hours standby time.

Bad it needs root.
I've installed Doze and when the screen is off, i see the difference.
Also don't use the buildin music player with bluetooth, this will KILL your battery.

At first i am only rooted because i am using TB and AdAway. No problem with battery life what so ever. I had also tried to use build-in music player for around 2 hours with wired earphone many times, but seems like it doesnt have much effect on the battery life too. Could be the bluetooth issue? i rarely turn on bluetooth.
BTW, have you turn off WiFi scanning option?
Could be that it is a Bluetooth issue then but I don't have it with VLc and Bluetooth playing.
If asus doesn't improve, I will try your setup.

Don't blame the phone. Mine sleeps like a baby (1-1.5% per hour) stock, unrooted. Your setup is the problem. I'm running Greenify, Opera Max, allow Autostart to only the apps I want AND most importantly denying data access and keep awake to non-essential apps. I've also disabled the crapware including Google music, playbooks etc that I've never used.
One more thing, Facebook, Viber, Skype, Twitter etc are killers too. I access fb via my browser (CM Browser). The stock browser is another battery killer.

the thing is, the earlier firmware version was working fine for me but not the latest one. also i have enabled only greenify in autostart manager. disabled all unwanted google and asus apps. also in sleep mode i have only max 2% battery drain issue. now using Project T kernel by @TheSSJ lets see how it performs

Posts like these make me feel lucky I got the CN version.
First I was angry and rushed to install the WW firmware but my battery got terrible, I barely made 3 hours ost.
Now I'm back to CN firmware with 5 hours ost with light use Internet, Facebook, calls, what's up .and 4 hours ost if I heavy game for 2 hours or more.
I don't know why CN got better battery I wish I could help but I can tell you it's not the phones fault.

Exactly. You need to reboot your phone just to be sure it will sleep properly if you are not going to be using it for a while. It's ridiculous.

ofcourse everything is fair, otherwise why even try ?
have you tested with a cpu monitor ? can we see time spent at every cpu step ?
i just tried your settings and well neither the governor nor the min mhz stick as the cpu monitor does report some jumps to 1.4...
probably something lg set as a must to eliminate any kind of lag which definitely sucks the life out of the battery
i know for a fact that we can get better SOT using better/optimized cpu/core governor as my cpu monitor reports hell of a lot of time spent at 1.4 and 1.8
im guessing this cant be solved untill a kernel is released with a controller like synapse or something direct
big props on getting that much SOT :good: but it doesn't make sense limiting the phone that way to achieve it
if only we could get Dori here, his kernel is a beast when it comes to saving power/pumping performance when needed

its not really so bad when theres not many things running in the background, some lag is noticed but nothing that will halt the system crippling slow... go ahead and try it u'll understand what i mean
but for sure that is not the way to go either.
lets wait for some kernels that will have better control and then judge how much better our SOT can be :fingers-crossed:
Hey guys, what is the RAM usage? LG G4 H815, 10D rooted, bootloader unlocked, TWRP, Xposed. My ram is always at 1,7Gb minimum, which means in better case only 1Gb free. If I have several apps in the background, I must say it is quickly filled.

I get 4 hrs of SOT
Average use daily is checking e-mails - checking Facebook and Twitter - Youtube and Music streaming - no games.... Sometimes, it drains without even doing that and I barely pass a day without charging it.....
PS:
The Screen on time is inconsistent as it might be just 2 hrs or 3 hrs and it would be consumed completely!
Is there a ROM or an app or anything that can help me get better SOT?
Thanks and apologies for the message, I now know that it was unnecessary.

Make sure you let it run for a couple full cycles and you have to read it correctly. You can't get useful stats the minute you install it because it needs to run through full cycles while charging and unplugged, as it can only provide information for the time it's been installed. The longer you run it, the more accurate it is. Second, the App Usage stat is a percentage of the percentage of battery used. So if your battery is at 70% when you look at app usage and it says those things used 57% of the battery, that's 57% of the 30% used to that point.
You also need to look at the Held Awake stats because that will tell you what, if any, processes are keeping your phone awake and thus contributing to drain.
I have found that the system in Nougat does tend to use more battery than it did in MM. However, doze implementation is better and it deep sleeps more and does a better job of saving battery. In fact since Nougat, I've stopped using Greenify because it actually seemed to make my battery worse. Since I've been on Nougat I get well over a day on a charge with about 5-5:30 SoT. However, battery also comes down to what ROM and kernel you use and how much you do processor and screen intensive tasks. Music streaming doesn't tend to use much battery, but if you spend a lot of time web surfing, Youtube and games, you'll cook your battery no matter what. If you use the Facebook app, nothing you can do will help as it's a dreadful battery suck.
Here are the numbers provided by the GSam App
Are these numbers good or bad?
The average use gets me through the day but if I use it heavily, it would last 3hrs max.

Has anyone else tried Nap Time by Francisco Franco? Been using it on all my other phones and decided to give it a try on the 1P6T. Set it to aggressive doze and will keep thread updated on advantages or disadvantages.
I'll run a complete battery cycle using Nap Time and then another with it turned off.
Haven't installed it, have had it on previous devices. Will be interesting to follow your findings.
I feel like, with the combination of excellent out-of- the-box battery life and the Dash charging speed, there is not as much reason to skrimp and save on battery power by using Franco's excellent app.
When you can get screen on times that are practically all day and you can get a massive recharge in 10 -20 minutes ... I'm far less inclined to spend much time tweaking the kennel and searching for wake locks etc.
Franco makes good stuff though. Used his kernels for years.
Greenify and other nap apps are considered as useless in pie, native battery optimization is enough. I ditch them months ago without any visible difference.
The only thing I think will make a difference is Leandroid switching mobile data off when the screen goes off. This is a because of the Mobile Radio Active battery bug. That said I'm now a week in to my 6t and haven't noticed the drain, so it looks like OnePlus fixed it, OR, the battery is just so good it doesn't cause inadequate battery life anymore. (I've not rooted yet, which is a sign the phone is excellent.)

Will do. Even tho the battery life of the OP6T is great I believe it can be better. Just started with a full charge yesterday afternoon and when the battery is down I will post. Then I'll stop Nap Time and do another test.
@ggrant3876 how is it going?

I was just getting ready to post. It saves a bit on the battery and if it was a paid app not sure it would be worth the $. Since I have it installed and have run the 2 adb commands to give permissions I'll continue to use the app. If anything changes I'll post again.

Cool, thanks. Will try it out and see if the phone goes into deep sleep quicker than without it.
Nap Time works fantastic here, now gets pretty much instant deep sleep.
Sent from my OnePlus6T using XDA Labs
I've been using it also and I'm getting about 97% deep sleep while I sleep through the night
hi.. may i know if you guys remove naptime from the OOS battery optimization or not?
I tried this but nothing has helped the massive battery drain I've been getting since finally rooting the TMO variant. Google music is using like 80% of the battery and not going to sleep.
My battery has been awful on my phone since day 1 which was when I rooted. The last 6t I had for about 10 days , did not root, battery was much better. Going to try this app
I turned on "disable motion detection during doze" and notice that ambient display doesn't work on tap. It might be the case that it doesn't work when the phone is in deep doze. Hmm, a bug on oneplus's end?

+1
if im not wrong, the app will ask you to remove it from being optimize
I have now tried this for a few days and notice no changes in battery.
I do notice that it goes in doze mode more often and more quickly (gsam battery monitor) I don't see any difference at all other than that.
Hi, can I check if this is Naptime working normally?
