Just like the title says, I'm not sure it's the last few updates but I'm on nougat. I'm not using power saving but I wasn't before. I haven't really changed more or added any new apps that I can remember. Can anyone advise if they have encountered a similar issue and how you fixed it?

Same for me. Battery has started draining significantly faster than before. I was told to go into recovery, wipe cache, and reboot but that hasn't fixed it. Although, I don't want too, I may be pushed towards an s8 upgrade if I can't figure out why my battery sucks now.
my battery has sucked from day 1, absolutely the worst phone ever for this. Nougat helped it last a little longer, but it still takes a year and a half to charge compared to past few phones I've owned. Charging from a 2.1amp car charger doesn't move but 3% in 3 hours. My portable battery charger is the same way, can barley budge the phone charge. Yes fast charge is on.
Note 7 and iPhone 6S + both charged just fine with the same vehicles and with the same portable brick charger.
what I still don't get is why with the same hardware specs for the most part minus the screen, why the note 7 was such a drastically better phone for battery life. I thought it was nougat, but that definitely wasn't it. I'm down to 20% battery life left by noon anymore with the S7E. Note 7 wouldn't hit 20% until 10pm at night (day starts around 7-7:30am)

You might have a defective battery. The fact that it won't charge up and assuming your charger is still good, is telling.

charges perfectly fine when plugged into the power brick. Used the same cable in the car etc. to no change. Just something about those it hates.
I'm finally going to breakdown at some point and restore it and start over just to make sure. next step will be to see if sprint will replace it. I am thinking I am going to buy an S8E outright here very soon...

That's right... For some stupid reason, our phones don't detect when the battery is ACTUALLY full. Getting annoyed with the having to charge my phone twice a day, I stuck my battery in my old Touch Pro 2 (left it powered off) and plugged it in... It took about 5 hours for it to fully charge and I let it sit for another hour.
I took it off the charger at 11AM... It is now 11PM and I'm at 68% and I've been doing more browsing and downloading than usual. Previously, I would have hit 20% by now and had to plug in the charger.
Once you charge the battery in this manner once, it should be fine from there because the cells have been fully charged for the first time. As long as you don't drain the device completely, you shouldn't run into battery issues.
Ordered a multi-function battery charge and two aftermarket TP2 "1500mAh" batteries from eBay, all for $11, hopefully they're good
I've been pounding the hell out of this thing today... I've racked up 8 hours of "active" usage... so actually I've used my phone more than normal.
The first clue for me was the fact that my battery didn't drop from 100% to 90% in five minutes like it was before... It would usually drop to 80 within an hour, even on standby...
It was at 92% when I got to work at noon.
Unreal, I never thought I would search ebay for a phone with a BAD esn
What I think is unreal is that our 2010 devices can't do something other devices have been able to do since 2006... AT LEAST 2006...
I'm running fresh .3 and I've had the phone unplugged for 1d 0h 15m and still have 30% left... so I don't have an issue with the battery at all.

I have two of these chargers and 4 batteries. I keep two at work and two at home.
These chargers top the battery completely off. I can take a battery that is "fully charged" in the phone and put it in the charger and it will still need 20-30 minutes of charging. The batteries off the charger will stay at 100% for up to 20 minutes, the ones charged in the phone plunge within 1 minute for me.
I really hope this issue can be fixed with a software update. Charging once a day is one thing, but having to take the cover off, battery out and reboot every morning is not acceptable. Not to mention that I rely on my phone while it is charging for emergency calls.

AFAIK it affects all HTC Android devices. HTC is lazy. Anyway I even put my old TP battery which hasn't been charged for at least 6 months in and charged it with the TP. It appears the first 5% is dead but it is still kicking ass and taking names over the charge I get from the evo.

Your battery was probably charged to capacity before they sold you the phone. Once a lithium ion battery has been charged to 100% it maintains its charge unless you screw it up by running it down to empty a few times. The problem is that for whatever reason HTC didn't see fit to charge all batteries to their max first even full well knowing that they won't get conditioned properly by the phone.

I did too, but think mine is defective. The batteries are pretty good for backup purposes and do their job. My wall charger sucked though. I had a Droid Eris hooked up via USB and a battery on the charger. After about an hour and a half, the Eris charged fine, but the battery was like at 30%.
Now the deal breaker is when I got home. I tried to charge a battery and my EVO via USB. When ever I hooked up the USB my phone litterally lagged almost would freeze to a point. I removed the USB cable and phone worked fine. So in all my charger sucked and can charge the battery but really slow.
I ended up just charging the batteries with the OEM charger and EVO turned off.

Yes, but an HTC Windows Mobile device, not Android.
I think OP is talking about the TP2 OEM battery, not some knock off that you buy off ebay. FYI there are tons of battery for TP2, so it would have been better if the OP can tell us exactly which one he got. Check out batteryboss for comparsion:

Could there potentially be a software fix to make the evo handle battery management better, like the tp2?

Actually i was talking about putting your evo battery IN a touch pro 2 in order to charge all the cells.
So this is the reason why the EVO appears to be charging its battery so fast. I plugged it in, and it takes less than an hour to start beeping "I'm full."
......Because it's not really full.
That would explain why I was about to sleep, the EVO was charged, and I got an email, so it kept beeping every 10 minutes or so. which was annoying. I had to unplug it so I could sleep. I slept only 7 hours, and I heard the phone on the little table beeping again like crazy in the morning. I checked what it wanted, and it was the super warning that the battery was about to die.
No use at all in 7 hours, and the battery went from "fully" charged to almost ZERO.
I was almost crying of laughter. I just thought what a piece of junk. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Now, let's watch the soccer game, let's see how the USA does.
So I got a brand new S8+ approximately a week ago. The battery has barely had 10 charging cycles and according to the fg_fullcapnom file my battery is already at 3244 mAh. And what's worse is that it's degrading with every charge cycle. If you're gonna tell me that it's due to fast charging then why does Samsung include one in the box if it's not suitable for your device. I intend to keep this phone a long time and if in the first week the battery has gone down so much then I can't imagine what it's gonna be at the end of the year. Any suggestions anyone can give me? Should I use a different charging brick? Like the original Apple iPad charger or a smaller/lower output charger. Or should I take my phone back to Samsung since I got it with one year warranty. But then again what do I explain to them, they probably don't even know what the fgfullcapnom file is.

I'm betting that fullcapawapanom isn't very accurate. Enjoy your phone and stop worrying what some file says, if you get 5+ hours of sot you're good.
So I had this 910C for a while. Still love this phone but recently the stand by time kept decreasing. This was my second battery but I used fast charging, so I thought what the heck, I will just buy a new one.
Well I did, and the stand by time is just as bad. Almost half my battery is gone by the morning, and the battery barely wants to charge as well. (it's like the phone is cold and the charger is also just lukewarm.)
So what the heck?
Is there a known hardware defect on the Note 4 for this?
Even if I could replace the phone (but why when it works great otherwise), I would still like to keep it around as a secondary device.
Any ideas?
Ps.: Now when I was writing this, my phone also got quite hot but the AUKEY portable charger is cold. My percentage was 16-17 and it could not go higher.
Well, after long hours of charge the new battery does show 100%, but when I make a call the phone gets extremely hot. Like it burns my face.
This morning I watched like 5 minutes of Netflix and that ate ~20% of my battery.
The battery does not get hot, is not bulked up, it's very hot around the main chip...
Using latest Samsung OS btw, don't even have root installed atm.
I got a brand new battery (Samsung branded, so "original") a month ago. But...it takes 1h40mins to fully charge from 0 to 100%. I remember the S5 took like 2h at the very minimum to charge from 10 to 100% some years ago with its first battery. Did I just get a lemon with twice as small battery capacity (Again, everything looks like the original battery. Says it's Vietnam-Korean and has a manufacturing date as well at the bottom left corner.). I flashed a stock 6.0.1 ROM to see if there was some fast charging option left enabled from the ROM/kernel I am on but it still said it needed around 1h40mins for a full charge from 0 to 100%. Wtf? Help, please
PS: I can get 4h SOT and around 10h total time with watching YouTube via WiFi for 2 hours and the other 2 doing other stuff around the web and other apps. But this charging time bothers me, it was not as fast as it is now.

Its possible, depending on where you got it from It could be a used battery. Do you see any type of nicks or scratches on the gold connectors at the top? Do you see any swelling on the battery as well? I got two batteries I use for my S5 and one is starting to swell and will not charge to 100% anymore.

Are you plugging the phone to any type of fast charger? My S7's fast charge plug in would charge other non- fast charge phones just slightly faster than a normal charger?

You could ask the store to see if you could get another one, if that one is the same it maybe just normal now?

Same here. Battery quickly drains to 96% after unplugging from the charger. Takes half an hour max without using at all. After that normal drain.

May be new update is buggy ?
Since the last release I decided to stick with Nova Prime and no Google Companion. Before I was on stock launcher and turned off shelf. Charged to 100% and over night battery drained to 99%.Right now I am at 77% with 2 hrs of screen time and been unplugged for 16 hrs.
I would think that shelf or Google Discover is a battery drain for sure.

I don't think so. It's happening on custom ROMs as well. For me it started from one day on another. Weird thing but I think that's the ACTUAL capacity of the battery. You'll actually never have 100% battery when unplugging from the charger after some longer charging. It just shows you that.

I noticed as well. I think its because of my extended use of fast charging as isn't good for the battery. But I thought that the heat was going to the charger and you should use the charger that comes in the box.
However, from extended use of my 6T and my previous phone the OnePlus 3. Dash charging affects the battery even though heat doesn't go to the phone, it affects the battery health. And you shouldn't use it especially if you want to keep the phone for 2+ years. I've been using my 6T since December and my battery health is around 70%?! I only been using dash charge as well for both of my 6T and OP3. The reason I upgraded was because of the degraded battery in my OP3. From this, I'm gonna send my 6T back to OnePlus for a battery replacement, so that I get a brand new battery and from now on I'm never gonna use dash charge and instead gonna use quick charge 2.0 chargers as I don't have a apple 5V charger. But this should still be better for long term, even if it is a form of fast charging. All Samsung phones since the S7 have been having this quick charge standard. Using fast chargers is convenient, but it is not good for long term and it is just another scummy way for companies to reduce the longevity of your device and make you buy a new one. Tbh Dash Charging or Warp Charging or any fast charging should only be used when you're in a rush and you're phone's battery is low

Thanks buddy noticed this issue too .. while charging on regular charger it's fine shows almost 3700 as health but on dash charger it shows much lower
So i figured something interesting ...
The ideal capacity of oneplus 6t is 3700
But rated or we can say usable capacity is of 3610mah ..
So according to that accubattery is almost right ...
Hey!

It did for me at least. Otherwise it's an app issue.
I only have the "issue" that battery goes from 100 to 96% fairly quick but I don't really care. Drain afterwards is normal and getting over 10hrs SOT easily anyway.

Mine does this but I noticed that if I reboot my phone every morning before taking it off the charger, this issue goes away. So I'm guessing there is some sort of trickle charging happening once the batter reaches capacity. I also notice if I take the phone off the charger as soon as it hits 100%, battery does not drain to 96% quickly as well. Must be something with the way one plus software works with charging
