OK, What Did I Do Now!

Bragged to the apple world how great my battery is, now I musta turned something on that's killing it quickly.
Look at the percentage of Android OS in the first, then the 2nd screen shot.
How do I figure out what is killing it?

OK I did that, but I'm sure I did not put all three of the checkmarks on, (I think 1 or 2 of them were checked when new).
My guess is that it's "google location service" ?????

No I have not, and would you mind telling me how to turn off OTA updates, (so stuff doesn't get installed without my knowledge). thx
Who knows of a good app that can let the user know which apps are drawing how much juice?

1. What firmware are you on? Settings > About phone. Say the build number
2. To turn off updates Settings > About phone > Update. But it never gets installed without your knowledge.
3. Install Wakelock detector (from play store) or BetterBatteryStats (search for it here on xda)

"Use wireless networks" ....................... WOW, what a battery killer !!!
This little check mark makes an unbelievable difference in battery productivity. I'm mean "really", (like a whole new device with it unchecked).
I am on Ml9.
Do you folks have a preference as to which battery app I should download?

The inbuilt privacy guard in OxygenOS doesn't support altering permissions for System apps.
You can root the device and disable the services of GooglePlayServices.

Hi v7,
i have root. But what do you mean with disable exactly? Where would this function be? And does this effect any other App or process if i disable it?

Activity doesn't properly register on google fit

Hi,
I tried to use google fit and it seems the app doesn't register activity when the phone is in sleep mode.
It works properly on my gf's Sony Xperia Z3 but not on the P8lite.
Anyone had this problem and found a solution ?

You need to add app in memory cleanup whitelist also in ignore battery optimization list. But this may drain your battery.

In phone manager settings(memory cleanup whitelist aka protected apps).
For ignore battery optimization.
Go in settings

Advance
Ignore battery optimization
And then add that app.

How to stop ActivityManager killing apps due to "high power cost"???

By now you may have heard about Axon 7 killing music playing app issue, if you haven't experienced it yourself already. For me I'm having a similar or at least related issue. The phone would kill my game when I turn off and on screen. After some investigation, below is my observation
1. Doesn't happen all the time. After a fresh reboot, no killing for a while... but after some time using the phone, it starts to happen
2. Not app-specific: After playing a game heavily for a while, the killing starts... only for that specific game. If I play a different game, then only that new game gets killed.
This have driven me kinda crazy. A look at adb logs reveals this:
12-22 12:45:34.229 I/ActivityManager( 1752): Killing 23881:jp.co.happyelements.toto/u0a122 (adj 0): excessive high power cost :jp.co.happyelements.toto
What the actual f***??? Why would ZTE kill my "excessive high power cost" process *after* I turn on the screen (and not when I turn off screen, which was 5 seconds earlier)??? Has nobody in ZTE thought about that apps that has "high power cost" may not be actually "excessive" but totally within reasons and fall into the category of normal every day use?
And no amount of changing the native "power saving" options stopped this behavior. Back in the days I remember there was some root/xposed module that would whitelist apps from being killed by the OS but I couldn't remember the name. So now I have to ask help on how to deal with this idiocy.
Edit: My apologies... I just noticed I posted in the wrong section... mods please move the thread to Q&A section if possible. Thanks a lot.

is there seriously no solution?
This is intolerable

I did. Didn't help.
If it was that easy, then I wouldne be here asking about it would I?

Yep, have the same problem after trying the same things. Several apps (2 of which I use for monitoring blood sugar levels) will randomly stop updating until either re-launched or the phone is rebooted. I have disabled all power manager options to no avail. Whatever power management system ZTE has implemented, it's FAR too aggressive.
Disclaimer - I haven't pulled logcats, but your description of the problem matches mine exactly. Here's hoping for a fix in Nougat and/or a custom ROM, otherwise I'm moving to a different phone. The A7 has great hardware but the stock software is a bloated mess.

B27 does not have this issue (which is why I downgraded to it). Might be a solution for you until the next upgrade releases.

@whoiswes If you are talking about the xdrip app. I too want this app to work with this phone. I tried CM13 and had the app work for hours then at night it stopped working. I only tried it for one night so didn't try different settings. At least this is a positive sign once CM13 becomes more stable or CM14 is released. I heard the app won't work with B27 either.

Found a solution, though it needs root
Code:
pm disable com.zte.powersavemode
then reboot
This totally disables the power saving menu though

I made this xposed module specifically to fix the problem described in OP. If you have the exact problem, including the logcat message, then the module should fix it.
If you dont have the exact problem, including the logcat mesage, then go ****post in another thread.

My solution is to whitelist all apps in:
settings -> energy management -> app energy management -> option button (upper right) -> app protection list -> option button -> set all to off
But the problem is that this setting resets everytime you install/delete an app
Edit: Ok i just tried out manually setting all apps to "off", now it doesn't reset the apps when installing an app but the new app ist automatically allowed to be cleaned. So you still have to disallow cleaning for each installed app manually.

Just an FYI, I updated to the Cyanogenmod/Lineage 13 Beta by UDev and one of my problem apps has been running for 18 hours without a single hiccup. Trying the second problem app later today. Not a solution for this problem but from my perspective it definitely pinpoints Power Manager as the culprit.
@borijess - yeah, Nightwatch and xDrip are the 2 apps that I've had trouble with, and so far Nightwatch is working great on CM13 (1228 build).

I don't have a specific answer to your problem, but if you read the thread in this forum about the "Xposed Framework", a couple of its modules are designed to keep apts from draining the battery while in sleep mode. But, of course, to install them, you must be rooted and running a custom ROM.
Personally, one of the main reasons I use my T580 tablet is its great battery performance. However, I seldom leave it for long periods of time in sleep mode.

I don't use it but from what I've read, it is used by individual app to keep the CPU running. It appears your "Google Search" is the app doing it. Have you tried going into the app's permissions and revoke its wakelock permission?
