For those of you who don't know what Android OS battery drain bug is, I'll explain
This bug is one of the most abominable bug you'll ever want to encounter. Many people complain of battery drain in Android N ROMs. If you open the battery thing, you'll find out that Android OS and occasionally System are consuming abnormal amounts of battery. First I suspected that its a ROM specific bug, later I discovered that it gradually keeps consuming more battery as you use the ROM. Its not limited to custom ROMs but stock roms too.
Take a look at the pic, taken from RR N. Had to immediately change the ROM due to this ghastly bug.
Please upload your opinions and mention any fixes. It'll help us all

Never noticed the Android os drain you describe, but mostly I have the "cell standby" in top (or 2nd) in my battery history which also seems to be another battery drainer. I also noticed something is draining the battery faster since mm/nougat when phone is idling.
The issue was fixed when I tried extreme debloated 6.0.1 ROM from @minimale_ldz and think it's some kind of Google service screaming for a connection constantly (not sure).

I agree. I'm also using N and at this moment "cell standby" is nr.1 in my battery stats. I'm also reading stories about the same drain issues on the Nexus and pixel forums using N.
The issue mostly shows up in a few days

I recently RMAd my device due to the battery issues, the day I got my new device it decided to shut itself off and would not power on again until plugged in. Today it happened to me again while browsing Google + it shut down, no power down message, nothing. Could not power on to recovery or bootloader, once again had to plug it in to get it to boot. I was wondering if anyone else had had this issue? Has happened on stock and on Pure Nexus. The device does not do it over and over, just once and then it's fine.

So this time it happened on stock 7.1.1 running the March security update? I've only had this happen one time ever, and it was on M. Never on N. What does Accubattery say your current battery capacity is?
It sounds like they might have sent you another lemon. My phone is 8 months old and I have never experienced that problem on stock or any custom ROM, including Pure Nexus. Personally I would consider doing another RMA if possible. That simply shouldn't be happening.

This time it happened on PN latest security patch, current battery capacity is 103% so it's not the battery, after "jumping" it with a charger it's been running fine all day.

Hi people!
I cannot complain about battery life, specially in stand by (i rarely active use the phone), with wifi always active and during day time whatssapp web active in background, after root, naptime to force doze and other optimization here and there, my battery last till 6/8 days (with little screen time, 10/20 minuts/day), lol.
Problem is the screen use a lot of juice, even if i set up brightness around 55% only.
And, more strange, i lost 1% of battery almost all time i unlock the screen and use the phone a little.
I mean, i unlock for example the phone and im 80% battery, in 20/60 seconds will turn to 79%.
I unlock and use a little when is at 56%, after 10/30/60 second, turn to 55%.. and so on...
This happen most of the time i unlock it to check screen and i play around a little checking apps and doing stuff, but no games or heavy apps.
Im in last January oreo patch.
Is a common "issue", if issue can be called?
Is a behavior other mi a1 phone noticed too?
My phone was behaving like this also before root and before use naptime.
Facing same issues
I have notice this too but also 1 restart cost 1% battery life is this normal? So if I continuously restart phone 5 times it will use 5%, is this like this for other phones too I'm not quite sure?
I don't have such issue, I turned on/off 6 times with delay for about 60 sec and it dropped only 1% the first time, and I keep the screen brightness about 70%

OK but this seems more a issue of your phone, not a general, operative system base, battery drain.
And your issue dont have similarities with phenom i described in first post in this topic!
You must check what app/setthing keep your phone awake while in stand by and fix it.

Just go on MIUI Forum.
Mi A1 subforum.
There's a lot of posts about battery drain.
It's not an issue of my phone.
AND it's battery in your "phenom" too.
Or you have a damaged battery.

Please anybody help me, i'm really frustrated by this issue.

I am facing the same issue. Using AEX rom latest version atm. Really like the rom but the battery drain is high when the phone is ideal.. Drops from 40-0 overnight without any use. Even after everything including wifi and data is off

Cannot agree with above. My AEX (by Woivod) in deep sleep most of the time if unused, 1% battery over night in airplane mode . Check your device 's battery or installed apps.

I will surely give the battery a checkup Though I highly doubt it since the problem started after I updated to treble rom a week back.

Flash Magisk then install Greenify Module from Magisk and install Naptime. I'm sure this would help. If it doesn't I got some settings in kernel Adiutor from Game of Roms YouTube Channel.

I sure hope you have solved your issue .If not, then these were the steps that solved it for me.
After trying all types of calibration apps, I went ahead and Flashed the Latest Miui9 Global Build for Redmi 3s and suddenly my issue was solved. It was most probably a miscalibration from all the flashing which was causing the intense drain.
Attached Some screenshots of my present battery usage

I Strongly suggest to get it checked then. My Note4 battery had swelled up and it ended up breaking my screen from the inside.
(Back panel had 0 budge as it is a metal panel)
So a Rs1000 repair turned a lot expensive.
Guys try msm xtended rom with chimera kernel and do some changes in setting definitely there is no idle drain over the ni8
:angel: I fall in love with this rom:laugh:

I tried many different ROM's, but only Resurrection Remix and crDroid Android give good battery life on their's stock kernels without greenify and etc. !
Try havoc os pie version, it gives me around 7-9 hours of SOT. AND that too without any app like greenify.
Likely unrelated to the ROM (hadesRom 6.0), but my S8 has been having weird battery issues as in almost instantly draining once reaching ~30-40% battery and just shutting off. Up until the point battery drain is normal if not better than it has been before, but this is still a major issue.
Any ideas/help?

Mine also. Once it reached below 30%, it will suddenly drop to 10% even on idle. It's been more than a year since i got this phone, and i just recently rooted it and install a new custom ROM. is it because of the battery itself? degrading?
Good day.
A friend of mine had an similar problem and solved it by disabling the system app called "ARCore". It's an google augmented reality plataform app. Try disabing or update the app.

Maybe it's also just an error with battery percentage display, but battery performance seems pretty poor then.
I'll try disabling/freezing ARCore and see if this changes anything ^^

This is very common sign when battery is going bad when u start to have these drops . Logically battery should be replaced .
