Overnight battery drain - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

I have a problem that I noticed some people are experiencing. Overnight idle the phone drains like 25% with wifi off and on battery saver. Is there a known cause for this? My Honor 8 is brand new. Help!
Edit - When I go to sleep -

After I wake up it's normal again (I turn WiFi on and use phone normally) -
I will try and leave WiFi on during the night today to see if it makes any difference.

Fyi, since I woke up and turned wifi on, the battery has only went down by 1%! Something is not right. How can it drain so much without using it and almost none when I actually use it.
Screenshot from today (from 1pm till 7pm, only lost 2%)

Which hardware and firmware version are you using?
Do you have cellular data connected when WiFi is off?
Does the battery graph show constant system awake time during these periods of high drain?

Hi. I'm using FRD-L09 and EMUI 5, build FRD-L09C432B381.
No wifi, no mobile data turned on. All apps closed.
Yesterday I left it at ultra power save when it was at 12%, after I woke up (around 6 hours). it was off. Don't think that's normal either.

Sometimes I have the same problem. Overnight phone drops 25% of the battery.
What I found useful is to turn off Wifi+, Link+ and in GPS location (3 dots -> Search settings -> turn off Searching for Wifi and Bluetooth). In fact that will stops searching for Wifi, while Wifi is toogled off.
It might help you, I think this is Android 7 issue, since most people complains about heavy battery drain when not using the phone. Noone complained when using Android 6.

This isn't normal, but at the same time it is... I don't think any one person has figured out the real reason why, but many of us have had similar battery drain for seemingly no reason. I simply backed up my data and factory reset the phone and haven't had an issue since. Others haven't been so lucky.
Can you take a screen shot of your battery graph so we can see if your system is awake during the drain?

I have update B381 and u have this problem with battery drain for my is very bad battery life update B360 was good for battery life.

I found the high Idle battery usage some what related to the phone keep search for upgrade and the process "android OS" was consuming around 50% all the time.
After set these two setting, it fixed the battery drain and "android OS" only use around 20%. Now it remains 100% battery for 10 hours standby.
1) Setting->System update ->(three dots)->Update Settings->Wifi auto download (Disable)
2) Setting->Battery->(Setting icon on top right)->keep wifi on when sleeping->Never

I did as everyone suggested and turned off auto WiFi and bluetooth search and auto WiFi download of the system updates. If I turn off keep WiFi on during sleep, I don't get any notifications from messaging apps, so I won't do that. I've also only left Messenger, Viber and Whatsapp in the whitelist of programs that will be closed when screen is locked.
Here is the most recent screenshot of the battery usage.

Try factory reset and wipe cache. Screenshot tells us that your phone is awake when you are not using it.

Okay, I'll try later tonight and reply tomorrow if anything's changed.
p.s. Any good full backup apps?

Just use the backup tool that was loaded on the phone. It works nearly perfectly to backup all your texts, call log, apps, settings, etc.

Looks like it tried to sleep when you went to bed last night, but something woke it up early in the morning and it never went back to sleep. Find out what that was and you may solve your problem.

If you have data, you still get notifications.

As a test, I created a Magisk module that freezes all of Huawei's system power management apps and superfluous services. I just loaded it today, so it'll be a few days before I can provide feedback on if it improves battery life.

I backed it all up and am wiping it tonight but I was thinking. Perhaps it's not a good idea to restore the data yet? Maybe I should try a night with stock settings/apps to see if that makes a difference, then restore all and see if there's any difference.

Honestly, I wouldn't expect that experiment to provide you with any useful info. You will naturally see more battery drain once you have your apps and services running because more will be happening in the background. Reinstall everything and use your device normally to get the most accurate comparison to your previous battery life.

Factory reset I know how to do, but how to give the wipe cache?

IIRC, the cache should be wiped automatically when you Factory Reset.

I like to do it manually. Turn off the phone. Hold Vol + and power button.

I wonder how the battery drain overnight will be with the new custom Roms which are out.

Same for me. Maps app takes all the battery.
Maybe you guys try disabling the Location services (a checkbox enables by default during setup after FW upgrade), and that couses drain? No idea how to disable it, though
thats easy mate
go to google in your stock browser and below the search box u'll see an option as to whether u want share your location. u can disable there!!
do you use Latitude?
Do you have any idea about "Android OS" usage because it looks too much?

You should not have Google maps taking any power if you're not using it. I do not see in my list if I have not open it since unplugged.
Battery level can behave in a strange way for a few days. Mine dropped to 70% after being plugged and charged to 100%.
Next day it dropped from 100% to 90% and the began climbing to 94% for 30 minutes.
Usually main battery hog is the screen, you should not have those drainage with the screen off.

Right, that not the problem. I have used maps, location and latitude services on other roms too. I get 2 days without recharge. Or alteast one day with heavy use. But I only got 12 hrs with no use at all on stock gingerbread.

Exactly. The screen was off. I flashed rom, restarted, charged to full battery, slept, woke up, checked my phone and this is what i got. U can see display has consumed hardly any battery. (no wonder it was off all the time)

This is also a question? Why is that so high too?? Even if maps would not have consumed any battery, gingerbread alone would have emptied it in under 24 hrs with no use at all. (display off)

Root with CF-Root-XW_OXX_JV1-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1_NO-CWM and then original kernel.
Flashed from I9000XWJS8 with bootloader, re-partition and pit512.
I got a similar problem with Android OS eating all my battery.
It was only after I plugged my phone off and pressed the power button so that the display turns off. From that point on Android OS consumed battery.
Restarted, cleared dalvik cache, now no problems anymore.

This might be the problem, I have seen that sometimes the system will not go to standby state although the displey is off and the reason was Latitude (this might also explain high usage by system and maps).
Too bad that Spare parts are not working on Gingerbread, there you could see what app is causing the system not to go to sleep.
So I think that some app is causing the system to be awake, and my gues is Latitude.
To be honest, since I don't use "maps" or "latitude", I only have Android OS eating up my battery. Bloody 75% in the span of 7 hours with a hint of WIFI and texting.
Going to try the "wipe Divik Cache" idea posted by h4m74o.
Just an update, I believe the dalvik cache idea is working. Screenshot shows my last hour of usage stabilizes instead of the decline I was experiencing. I will post back tomorrow for a reconfirmation.
I had the same problem with maps on CM7, never found out what caused it so i just uninstalled it
Battery is pretty good acutally, but i also have the strange Google Maps drainage (31% of consumption: 5.5hours stay awake and 50min CPU). I did just receive an update for Google Maps; Hopefully this fixed something, but that would be just luck .
But how do I wipe the Dalvik cache? And why would thit help?
Btw currently @27% and just under 40 hours. (1d15h)
I tried a few things.
1. Uninstalled the update to google maps.
2. FC google maps.
9% battery drain in over 11 hrs. i.e les than 1% per hour. But this is with no use at all.
The problem is, WHY is Maps still the major consumer of battery???
Can't I remove maps completely?
If you use modified kernel, try to flash JVK stock kernel, fully charge and see if any improvement. This gave back to me normal battery life.

Horrible Battery Life, I've tried everything

I can't figure out what's going on with my T-Mo Note 4. I have about a hard limit of 2-2.5 hours of SoT (auto brightness, all in doors) before hitting critical battery levels. I've tried numerous factory resets, including odin restores. Then I tried all the greenifiy/amplify options but that didn't make any difference. I am currently only running a bare minimum subset of apps to troubleshoot the issue. The wakelocks aren't bad, but not great either. Over night I'll lose about 10% battery. But actual screen usage is what murders it. I even bought a set of new batteries thinking mine was a dud, but my usage on those is identical. I'm not even doing demanding stuff on it, just light web browsing, and non 3D type apps.
Currently I'm running the X-Note 3 ROM with the latest AEL kernel, battery life is the same on it.

Settings > Wifi > Advanced > uncheck 'Always allow scanning' and 'Network notifications'

some apps\widget are known to eat battery
also, what apps do you use mostly when screen is on
How's your signal? From what it sounds you may have a bad signal which is causing your phone to lose battery life. My phone drains pretty bad at work since I have a bad signal. I started turning off my data and battery life is better now.
I'll get some screen shots tonight, just popped a fresh battery in. My signal is all green on the graph from when I have done previous troubleshooting though.
should use stock. no stock ROMs have all sorts of weirdness.

The other day I had Deezer music app keeping my phone awake constantly. Just now i've checked battery and google services framework has kept my phone awake 4.5 hours since I unplugged it.
Very strange goings on on this phone. Still getting 5-6 hours or so screen time and a full day, but things like this surely have an impact.
Here's my 2 cents:
In the battery usage page under settings, tap the graph. If you are using an SD card AND your phone is awake while the screen is off (and you aren't playing music or something), then do this:
Back up any important data from your external SD card to a computer (movies, music, photos, etc).
Go to settings/storage and format your external sd.
Then copy all your files back.
This may fix the Awake issue. MAY.
My phone was staying awake 100% of the time with only about 2hrs of SOT. Battery was draining fast because the phone was never going into deep sleep. I noticed that when I removed my external sd, my phone suddenly began to sleep. So I did what I said (which was a trick from my S2 days on ICS) and it then made my phone sleep properly.

Hi , Sorry to hear the battery issue you have been having. I have been experiencing the same issues as well, as I only could manage a miserable 2 hrs SOT from the almighty note 4. I was fed up and looked into it the issue and adjusted some settings and stopped some services and now I have over 4hr. SOT . I have changed the following :
Disabled the location services
Disabled all the bloatware esp some of the Google services i.e.. Google Music, Google Plus & Google Play Movies (and any other Google services that are not required)
Bluetooth Off
Screen is at roughly 40% brightness ( I do not use auto brightness as it sometimes max's the brightness for no reason)
Try the above and you may have a phone that works as its supposed to.
As with the SD card I think that is your culprit. Look in the battery stats for "media server" or "samsungindex". These are processes that search for files in the SD card and cache them. So in order to fix that google has the answer but the basic principle is that you have to delete that corrupt file which these processes are searching for... hence why google lost faith in the sd card and why iphones don't have them coz of these problems..
Turn off sync and mobile data some apps in the background keep on syncing hence the drain combined with your mobile data makes it like bacon and eggs, if all else fails you may have a faulty phone, have it replaced. Good luck!

Moto X 1st Gen Battery issue.

I've been experiencing serious battery drain lately.
Lasts around 6 hours tops.
Check out the stats. Anyone know how to prevent this?
Drain is almost 3:40 min / 1% discharge.

Check if your phone turns off the display after the display timeout. I have seen this happen in Moto X sometimes.. It just stays awake. Restart fixes it.
How about brightness? Set it in Auto Brightness mode. Check your Settings->Display page and check all the fields. Apart from that Screen taking 38% is surprising.

I've been having the same problem. I updated a bunch of apps yesterday, (mostly Google apps) and it the battery seems to be better today. It may be too early to tell, but I'm hoping it was one of the Google apps that draining the battery and that it was corrected with the update.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who's battery suddenly got a lot worse. I thought it was Snapchat since I had started using it recently, but the battery usage page doesn't reflect that.
One thing to check is the awake time. If you notice that your device seems to be awake all the time, I'm willing to bet that it has to do with google play services.
If rooted, there is an easy fix via gservices app on market.
Sent from my Moto X using XDA Free mobile app
I'm having the same issue. Really only getting about an hour of screen time these days. When I first got the phone it was 2+ hours. Mostly use WiFi vs cellular for data, which I thought should be more battery friendly. I make sure I don't have apps running... I'm thinking maybe my battery has just been getting weaker over time.
Here's a good read on battery wear http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
If you charge once a day like everyone the battery decreases by 15% after a year.

Brightness is already set to auto. Also, I've check the settings and display page. Its as it should. I wiped out cache partition and it improved a little. Though I didn't saw significant change by doing that. It still runs for max 6-7 hours. That's it.

Doesn't actually do anything. People need to stop facilitating this dumb myth.
Google said:
This file [batterystats.bin] is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings. That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you. It has no impact on your battery life.

May be u need to calibrate your battery. Try to put the phone in charge and let it reach 100% and post that dont remove the charger for 4-5 hours. This is a method to calibrate. Try this and lets see if it helps.
And, I see that you are in H+.. Try using your phone in 2G for a day and observe the battery patterns.
You should clean battery stats from recovery.. Have you tried this?
Mine will drain fast but then it will sit at 1% for several hours before finally shutting off. I have not found a fix and it's been going on for a few months now.

HIGH battery drain

Hello guys,
yesterday I rolled back from N to MM in order to install a fresh MM and install the N again and I still have high battery drain where Android System and AndroidOS are top battery consumers. I have high drainage when I am not using the phone too, and its not even connected to the internet too. Few days ago for two hours of not using the phone I had around 30% battery drain and I think that's not normal at all. I think that the phone is draining less battery when I am using it than I am using it...
As I said before, I have freshly installed Nougat b371, I am not rooted and the bootloader is locked.
I thought it was because I tried to install the b381 300mb version but it failed installing it and I thought it was part b371, part b381 and that was causing some problem with that and that's why I installed a fresh version of MM but that's not working too and I don't know what to do now. If you can guys help me It'd be awesome!
And I also these days never have 4g, only H+ and its losing the connection and it automatically reconnects after few seconds and I don't know why. Before I always had 4g... The fresh MM didn't solved that problem. Do you think that b381 failed installation somehow misfigured something?
And a screenshot of the consumption level.

Disable the Google app and go to phone manager،tap cleanup then tap on the option icon on the upper right of the screen. Now tap memory clean up whitelist ,and uncheck all of the apps (recommend) or just uncheck all except the apps you don't want to close like messenger ..etc. Now go to phone manager and wait for it to load then click optimize. You'll notice a huge difference.

Disabling Google app is just like a default thing I am doing after factory reset, hahah. And I also unchecked the apps before, its like a normal thing to me after installing all the apps I need after a factory reset. The thing is the android is draining too much battery and I was asking for a way to somehow reduce it, because even if I am not using the phone it drains the battery for more than 15%, not a couple of percents... I will do a test this night and I will let you know tomorrow.
And also the phone is getting hotter than before...
That's why I did a rollback and installed all new MM, like it came from a store, to see if that'd help but nothing...

Went to sleep at 4:00am and my phone had 90% od battery and woke up at 11:45am and I had 43% battery. Thats 47% battery drain over night.
HELP?
I also installed gsam battery monitor and combined app cpu was the highest battery drainer with 76%...
Maybe to try deleting EVERYTHING from TWRP and flash a zip file of emui 4.1? If thats better than a normal factory reset I would try that too, because factory reset didnt solved my problem...
I have the same issue on B360.
Phone Idle in Hardware Section and Android OS in software drains alot during standby. Android OS keeps the system awake.
I think they played around with the cpu governor since they removed the battery performance mode.
Hey guys, i found a bug with wifi i think, i tried with latest LOS, RR, OMNI and SLIM roms (meticulus)
I found that in my case, the battery drain comes from the wifi not turning off when the phone is asleep, regardless any saving options i tick.
I discovered it while checking my wifi router, i saw my phone listed but it was un plugged from charger and locked.
I unlocked my phone and surprise, the wifi icon was already here full and ready now i'm searching a rom without those issues as i'm sure it did not do that when i flashed my first roms on this device (CM13 i think)
can some of you guys double check this issue so i can know if it's related to my device only ?

I didnt had something like that while I was using b371. When I turned the Wi-Fi off it was off.
In my case I think that there is something screwed up with the mobile network and causing battery drain and warming up the phone...
Maybe I will try a new rom, to see if the problem will be still there.

lol, yes man. does not work, i can choose any options it does never turn off the wifi while the phone is locked...
so i'm trying to do a task (tasker) to auto turn off wifi when the screen is locked.
Installed MM again yesterday, rooted the phone and installed Better Battery Stats and here are the results after the night. I had a battery drain of 30% over night.
Here are the results of the BBS.
A solution?

xx wrong xx
hi, I have similar problem, during night 10-15 percent of battery drained.
i think the cause is either the google account sync, some google apps or google backup functionality.
according to power manager, the phone is awake and also OS has the most percentage in consumption.
i dont have root, do someone figure that out or at least found out the reason?
thx

I fixed my issue by changing the mobile network to 2G/3G, not using the 4G and for some reason that was causing some problems with the battery drainage.
I rooted the phone and installed Better Battery Stats (which is working with non-rooted phones but using adb) but I couldn't make it work so I rooted the phone only for that, to see what was draining my battery so much with a lot of help of @pilgrim011.
If you have a problem with the 4G as I mentioned before, try disabling it and check the results after.
And I don't think that google's backup and sync apps were causing drainage because they obviously need an internet to work, or to back things up to be simple. If I am not wrong, haha.
Hope you'll find a fix for your problem.
Ok,going to try and get back with results
Ok so i am back, and have bad news. But at least i am seeing a pattern in behavior.
Last evening i charged phone to max, before sleep ir was ok - android os little drain, android apps bigger.
After night the battery dropped from 97 to 79%, like last time i charged to max, the system was awake regurarly and all drained by android os.... i only happens during tje first night, do you have any ideas?

Trying to find the cause of my idle battery drain (Exynos s10+)

I've noticed my s10+ Exynos has some pretty heavy idle battery drain. As you can see in this image, 2 hours of idle time amounted to 10% battery drain, but I can't seem to find the cause of the issue.

- I'm running the device on WQHD+
- OSD is set to tap only, so it only activates when I touch the screen
- Power mode is set to "Optimised"
- I've turned on Adaptive Power Saving to see if that made a difference
- Have emails set to sync every 3 hours
- Night Mode is on
- Did not receive any notifications in the time screenshotted
Any ideas on what I could do to sort this out?
I had a similar issue, what fixed it for me, was to erase system cache and then reset the battery calibration readings using the command *#0228# and then I turned off my phone for a while and turn it on before going to sleep and left it on airplane mode and Bluetooth to see any battery drain and so far so good.
Also in this thread in the last post of that page there is a solution that apparently works.

Will try that out, does my device have to be fully charged before running that command?
Also, have you managed to test it without Airplane mode on?

Can you install cpu spy and see if your phone goes into deep sleep? It seems to be the reason for battery problems in exynos variants. Try to follow some suggestions in this thread:
S10+ No Deep Sleep?

Also had problem with idle drain + also made cache partition reset. Problem gone. You should try it

Do you get that drain meanwhile using the phone with all active, signal, wifi, bluetooth, location, etc.

I'm using a custom Bixby routine and other settings to:
-airplane mode until 6am
-enable all services again
-force updates
-run optimiser services
-restart
By whatever time I wake up the phone is good to go, if it was on battery it loses what I said, maybe that's why the drain, I'm not completely sure but it

If you are draining 2-3% in airplane mode I think that is normal, if you are losing that with all services, your phone battery is amazing

Tried that now drainage is much better, 1% an hour. Not sure if that's still high or not though?

Besides turning on airplane mode, what do you think I should try? I downloaded that CPU app, and my device does go into deep sleep when idle so I don't think that's an issue for me

I wouldn't do airplane mode. Try with Do not disturb. It seems to work better somehow.
Check CPU Spy to see, how much deep sleep you're achieving with one and the other.
Also:
- disable all the apps you don't need + background data / activity (esp. preloaded Facebook, Linkedin etc.)
- you can try using Kiwi Browser (complete black mode) instead of Chrome (then disable chrome).
- switch off smart stay, turning on display when lift off, AOD
There's plenty more... but as far as my stats go with those settings:
- around 10-12 hrs SOT with 2-3 hrs youtube, 2 hrs browsing, 1 hr spotify
- approx 1,5 day of standby with that amount of SOT (with less frequent phone usage i got 2 days worth of battery)
