Does anyone else have this kind of problem? Went to sleep with 100% battery and woke up after 8 hours sleep with 75%. This is definitely not normal. What should i do?

That happened to me yesterday actually. I'm not sure if it's a "drain" though, but def popped up after the 4.5.3 update for me. Still got 4:30 SoT..

Same here. I also can get good SoT but android system take's all the juice if screen is turned off.

I have the similar drain too. Using Oos 4.5.3 I'm trying to figure it out.

If you're using ExperienceOS, this issue is fixed in the latest 4.0 build

Go root and get a wakelock detector and see what is actually draining your system.

Maybe i should do that. Or should i just flash that experienceOS?

Of course you can flash a ROM lol. Another option is the very well know BetterBatteryStats. Which has built in wakelock detector monitoring as well as a slew of other battery monitoring functions.

Actually i tried to boot to safe mode and checked if that works. I was able to put it to sleep, so im just trying to figure which app is causing the wakelock.

Try to clean cache and dalvik in recovery and might be re-flash your OS.
Mine, rooted on stock OxygenOS 4.5.3 loosing 0.3% per hour over night when phone is idle (on LTE always, I have a good signal, also no GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi scan etc.).
PS: Android will try to "report" back to mother-ship time to time and if there is bad connectivity it might get stack in re-try loop eating to the battery. Unless you are in airplane mode then it should stop... but I would not count on that.

When you root there is an app called wakelock detector free. Works great.

Yeah i have used those apps.
I figured out the app that kept my phone awake
This looks promising.

I'm going fairly strong myself

I've seen this happen on every phone I've had in there last 5 years. Factory reset it.

BBS actually started to work once i uninstalled Wakelock Detector. Coincidence I'm sure, but I lost the entire day of data at this point. Already at 25% battery.

on oneplus chinese forum also many ppl complain more battery drain after last system update yesterday

Battery drain all of a sudden. It's killing me!

Recently my phone has been dying really fast. I checked battery stats and Android system is what's killing it. I've tried everything to make it stop and nothing works. Does anyone else have this problem? Any idea on how to stop this? PLEASE HELP.

Boot into recovery then do clear cache partition. Should clear out whatever is causing this issue unless that app is still in there

Clearing cache could and probably will get rid of it. But I bought an app called Better Battery Stats, (id link it but im new) which tells you exactly what is waking up your phone while its off. Chances are you have a rouge app, that is just destroying your battery, as opposed to a system-wide problem. That app will tell you what it is.
Ignore the battery charging cycle. I'm just showing you what I have to go through also and somewhat fixed the problem.
I have and still have %50 android os usage. Before I did this mod, the android os was the highest usage and showed awake time as well. It was killing my battery from a full charge it drained down to zero in 12 hours with 1hr screen time and the phone never being in a deep sleep. It was aggravating because I wiped my phone so many times, tried different roms, took sim card out, no wifi, wiped cache, and wiped phone with nothing installed. Still the high android still persist and no deep sleep. I'm thinking it has to be Verizon doing something or Google that is waking up the phone.
Some how I fixed it or maybe the OTA fixed it. I odin mj7 and updated to the newest version and flashed beans. From the screen shot it shows my android os still high... but with no awake time. So my phone is actually in deep sleep mode now. It's weird but I semi - fixed it. I'm still clueless on why it's so high when previously screen time usually trumps as the number one usage spot. I still have no answer to this reason but I hope it helps a bit to fix this issue.

HEY same exact thing here. Android OS usage going nuts here. I personally think its related to certain wifi / router setups.
When im on 3g/4g all day, it doesnt happen. On the days that I am stuck at home on wifi, the android OS usage starts again.
Ive already Odin'd back to MI7, took ota to MJE, rerooted, installed beans b5 and its still happening.
I think its a bug with samsung / verizon wifi. Many times I will wake up my screen and see my GPS / Wifi being used for no apparent reason even with all location services turned off. I also notice my wifi indicators being on when i turn my screen on. Then after i turn my screen on and sit at my home screen for a few seconds. It all magically stops.
Mind you, this is with no apps installed other than what is in beans stock and nova launcher.
You guys should monitor while off wifi and see what happens. It was the first thing that struck me when i was on a road trip for 12 hours. My battery life was exceptional. If it is the wifi causing problems, i wonder what it is specifically.
Simply clearing the cache fixes this for me every time. I usually do it once every few weeks.
Settings..storage..tap on cached data and hit clear.

[Q] I9505 4.4.2 android system battery usage

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded my I9505 to 4.4.2 I've noticed that one of my key battery consumers was Android System (not so on 4.3 or 4.2.2, or whatever I was running before). Right now I'm on the latest DBT ROM, but still the same issue. I've been reading numerous threads on this, tried lots of things even formatting my SD card from within the phone, but still same story. I have Google location services disabled (major issue before), Google Now hot word detection is off, S Voice voice activation is off - nada. I am running stock so getting a wakelock report is a no go. I get decent time on the phone (up to 18 hours per charge), but still want to figure out why Android System is using so much battery (it seems to be CPU time related anyway - phone is properly entering deep sleep when it should). Below is a screenshot of what my battery graph looks like about 2 hours after unplugging the phone from the charger with normal usage. Thanks for ideas!

Any ideas? In the meantime I've done a factory reset, disabled Samsung's bundled apps (e.g. S Voice), tried disabling location services altogether - still same story nothing seems to help. In OS monitor I see a constant Android system activity between 1-9%. Average is around 2-3% but it never stops.... Sadly with the KitKat permissions being what they are I can't get more details.
Here's a graph from today 3 hours after a full charge with minimal phone usage:
Clearly something is going wrong here...

Hi ,
With this information is hard to tell what is going on , you need an app like Better Battery Stats
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Let it run for 3 to 4 hours at least and then see who is running wild
Review you settings , location , mail , FB......
Thanks. As I am running non-rooted 4.4.2 I can only see kernel wakelocks which look normal to me:

For posterity's sake - the firmware didn't fix the problem. My Android System, and to some extent Android OS, usage was still pretty bad. After hours of trying various things I've got it though - in my case I had to disable Samsung's Unified Daemon (EUR) and now once more my top consumers are Screen and phone idle! Hope this helps folks.

N910F, "Android OS" battery drain - can't determine the cause

This started happening about a week ago... I didn't install any new apps in particular. I've attached screenshots to the post.
Screen-on time is a little below an hour in these screenshots.
As you can see Android OS and Android System are at the top of the list by a long shot. Android System seems "normal" in the sense that it has 58mn of CPU time and only 18mn of wakelocks (as reported by the built-in battery menu).
Android OS however kept the phone awake for 6h11 which seems like a lot. I'm not rooted, so I did the ADB USB trick in order to pull stats out of Wakelock Detector, and all of the apps clearly don't add up to six hours. Especially not the usual suspects like Google Services, Facebook, etc.
Diagnosis shows a LOT of system processes, and I'm not sure if that means 1) it's all good as far as user land goes (I don't have any weird apps) 2) there's a system process gone rogue for some reason 3) the cause isn't showing up 4) something else???
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I have the same issue. Tried greenifying everything. No dice. I reboot, phone fine, then stays away. I will say that my battery life is good though, but this riddle is driving me nuts
Here is my issue, look at away bar.

Me too - 910F - im on Lollipop, but struggling to make it through a day at the moment.
Checking my Battery Graph is the same Story - my phone seems to be Awake constantly.
Seems Android System is using it....
Anyone have any ideas?
I can only recommend rooting your phones and change roms or kernels.
TW is heavy on battery and if you change to a CM rom the battery life will increase dramatically.
I have rooted all my phones since the very first android phone ever made and i cannot own a non rooted device as the freedom of rooting is just to awsome to ignore.
Every time i have battery issues i ether change my rom or kernel and then my issues goes away...
Can't root Verizon unfortunately
Hmm. Try this. Unchecked under advanced wifi, the option to let Google and apps use wifi, even when wifi off. Since then, 12 hours, I have had normal sleep. Did reboot after Unchecked. . Premature to say I fixed it, but so far so good.
Update. Since unchecking that wifi option, phone sleeping normally still.
Update #2- after 36 hours. It's back! Awake constantly. Unreal

Ironically I see no difference in battery life.... Hahaha. But driving me nuts.
I get through entire day... About 3.5 screen hours on. At 7pm I'm at 20% typically. Maybe that's bad?

I'm usually around 40%. but maybe our app-age is different.
I've updated the Google Play Services to the new version 7.0.87 and this issue seems to have gone.

6P losing 50+ % overnight now... last three nights

I was losing no more than 1% per night until three nights ago. I have also tried wiping the cache partition (yesterday) to no avail. "Android OS" is listed as the top resource hog, and it looks like it is not letting the phone sleep.
It looks like "keep awake" under the Android OS entry in the battery is going for the entire time the phone is on.
Suggestions?

Something isn't letting your phone sleep/doze.
You need the check which applications are running.
WiFi scanning is on perhaps?
Exchange services? That was my issue. I had to give up on using gmail for my exchange account and download Microsoft outlook for android.
Thanks I will check those. Wifi scanning is likely on, but that has been on for months now... not sure why the sudden change. May have to just wipe the phone and see what happens. Google maps, when giving directions on my car Bluetooth, has also started cutting off the last 30% or so of the voice guidance every time. Maybe a wipe will fix that, too.

Impossible to tell what's causing the wakelocks with root. Best you can do is educated guess.
something was holding your device awake literally the entire time

Finow X3+ Battery Life help

I got my new Finow X3+ watch this past week and although I'm really impressed with the look, speed and overall capability of the device, all of that means squat when it can't make it past 8 or 9 hours on a good day with very limited use (basically only checking the time and notifications with only BT tether and cell on, no WIFI).
Not sure if it was bad OTAs that I installed when I got it or what's going on but I think it has something to do with phone not sleeping..If anyone can give tips to save battery that you've found for unrooted x3+ please let me know.
Also does anyone know of a way to disable the pedometer hardware as I'm pretty sure that's the a big issue. Thanks guys
The cell network is the batt hogger. What do you expect from that tiny batt? Because Watch standby is perfect.

It's true, since turning off cell service I can usually get almost a full day (7am-10pm) just using it as a companion watch with m2d but it's disappointing not being able to use it the way I thought I could.
But how are you getting 3.5 days on one charge? I don't think mine goes into full deep sleep possibly because pedometer always logging info? Please let me know if you know how to disable the pedometer constantly running since I'd rather use it and the Heart monitor on an "as needed" basis. Any help is appreciated.
You have installed this update?
Yea I did...should I not have installed it?
I read that drains the battery, you've seen any change?

I turned off GPS and WIFI and also ios notification which was big battery hog and it made big difference. How did you stop other sensors and pedometer though? I can't find those settings.

Yea I turned off the ios push notification like you're showing in your pic, was taking about 10% battery in mine too. It didn't have any effect on notifications from phone to watch cause I don't use iPhone. Saved good amount in battery too.
So you know how I can disable pedometer if that's possible?
But as ios notifications is disabled?

I force closed ios notifications from the running apps list but for some reason it still takes some battery. Anyway I solved my issue: I did factory reset and then downloaded a phone booster app someone recommended on the Google group page.
Went from ~8-10 hours light use to about a day and half on one charge with moderate use. If anyone has battery life issues for seemingly no reason then try this. Thanks for your help mad.
