Hi guys,
My battery life has always been very good even with heavy usage. When i got the update notification i was at 66% at 3pm. immediately after the update i was at 33% and it was downhill from there very quickly. my phone shut of at 9pm. how has it been for you guys?
Mine seems to be holding up okay so far.
If I recall correctly, the update took my battery from ~35% down to like 20%.
I updated via odin today(everything went smoothly). as with any update or mod i have done the battery always takes a big hit. i suspect its because the processor is working hard and draining the battery. other than that i haven't noticed any excessive battery drain yet. i will report back after a couple days of use though.
My Nexus 6P is experiencing "slow charging" after April 7.1.2 Update (OTA).
I am using stock Nexus 6P charger, which now shows "charging rapidly" on lockscreen with 5 hours estimated time of full charge but is charging 18-20% in 1 hour.
Anyone else having this issue?
Tried rebooting, no effect. Any other fix?

Same here on my Nexus 5x with slow charging. I also got excessive battery usage by the Android os and Android system. They doubled on battery consumption after the ota update. Driving me nuts. I lost at least 3-4 hours of battery time with this update. What used to be plenty of juice now barely gets me through the day. I tried wiping the cache partition restarting and so forth. I am about to flash back to 7.1.1 but can't justify the burden just yet.

Have you done a backup followed by a full wipe if it happens again? Could also be a misbehaving app

I haven't tried that but if i decide to go down that route, i will probably downgrade back to 7.1.1 while i'm at it.
Slow charging happens pretty frequently, i can say around 7 out of 10 charges. Haven't properly tested yet but seems to happen when charging at battery levels below 10% or so. I usually do not go this low on battery but thanks to the recent update this became a daily thing. I wonder if the frequent deep cycles will degrade the battery faster.
The android system and android os spends 14% and 11% battery respectively on every cycle. Both the battery drain and slow charge started immediately after the 7.1.2 OTA update. I haven't updated my wife's X5 due to this bug and her's is behaving as usual, spending 8% and 6% for the same android system and os.
The reason for the excessive battery usage is that Google is defaulting the kernel to very high performance settings. They eat up the battery and make the phone run warmer and if you aren't rooted and can't flash a custom kernel there's not much you can do about it. I think Google is trying to burn out these phones. I can't think of a legitimate reason they would run the kernel settings so high.
I recently updated Note 4 with April 1 patch and since then I feel like I'm experiencing battery drain than ever before.
Before, Android OS, Android system and Device idle only used 1%. Now its consuming 4-3% of the battery. Isn't it experiencing a battery drain than before? If so how can I resolve this issue?
I flashed the leaked Android Oreo OTA to my Verizon Galaxy S8 and am experiencing pretty terrible battery life. I'm getting about 2 1/2 hours of SoT which I find bad for 2018. Meanwhile, my Verizon LG V30 with Nougat is getting 5+ hours of SoT which drives me crazy. Any tips to improve? Also, how's your battery life with Oreo on your S8?
I haven't taken the dive for the Oreo beta based ROMs but have been following the threads and the consensus is that at present Oreo is no better than N, it actually seems to be a little worse for most, hence I'll wait for a while still before jumping to O, give it more time for fine tuning on the S8 by developers etc. just my opinion, plus I get 6 odd hours of SoT on my N custom ROM so I have no urgency to go to O until its more polished.
Terrible, i updated mine couple of weeks ago and noticed about this battery issue, it drains fast despite of disabling the likes of location, reducing the brightness, bluetooth. i informed samsung about it. Before i used it outside with a (-3 temperature since i live in Finland), it was fully charged 100%. I only used it NOT more than 5 minutes for videoing and taking pictures and that's it, i stayed outside for more than an hour. When i checked my battery it was 56% ! I know that cold temperature diminishes the battery performance but not to extent of that emptying the battery in half:

After I updated to Oreo I had horrible battery life as well... It one time dropped about 20% when the phone was resting with the screen off in the couch.
I disabled everything bixby related. Force closed, uninstalled updates, and disabled in every way possible.
Now I get decent battery life. I live in Sweden, we have -4°c today, and the phone worked just fine even outside. No significant battery drop.

Is Android System percentage higher than normal? And what about screen on time on daily usage?

I haven't really measured it. But I got that fix update for the first CRAP update and I'm back to horrible battery life.

you can try flash a custom kernel , are you using stock or custom rom ? which firmware?
I'm using the stock version. I'm not that tech expert to modify it although my phone is at developer version. Anything I can do more?
Thanks for your reply btw.

After Android Pie update on Nokia 6, overall battery life has been reduced drastically. Even keeping the phone edle has caused battery to drain about 20%. Even with adaptive battery ON, there massive battery drainage when compared to oreo in a given time.
Anyone with same issues and any suggestions for fixes or workaround?
I'm facing with quite similar issue as like you, but I haven't able to update my phone, because the battery level stays at 20% even if the phone is on the charger at all day (TA-1021). This problem started 2 days ago. Everithing is official on the device, no mods have made. It's just a year old phone.
