wifi drain on 4.5.5 - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Is IT just me or is WiFi draining a Lot on idle?
My WiFi is always at the top of the battery stats next to the screen.
I lose 5-10% on idle over night

Stats

Is wifi scanning on? If so try turning that off. Also try clearing your cache

Already did both things before and didnt really help

24+ hours passed with 24+ left on the battery and 2,4 hours SOT ... trust me you have no drain.

I didn't think about figuring his SOT. I agree, not to say he might not have more drain than he should, but it seems his battery life looks pretty darn good.

Probably Network Coverage is all green and the 10% SOT was light usage( browsing, YouTube). But even in such case Wi-Fi should not be 9%.
Maybe with the new Wi-Fi driver issued by Qualcomm the drain topics will be solved, depends when OnePlus implements it.

I have the same issue. Wi-Fi scanning off, I lose about 10% battery overnight with Wi-Fi at around 45 % of that (GSam Battery monitor).
Tried clearing cache multiple times. I want to avoid a full reset, next I think I'm going to try another kernel (I'm on stock one).

Same problem here since 4.5.5
Switching to 2.4Ghz only resolved the wifi idle drain
I hope they fix de 5ghz issue in next update

Does this actually work?

For me it did the trick for now the reduce the battery drain in idle
5ghz only = 5~10% battery loss per hour
2.4ghz only = 1-2% battery loss per hour

Using WiFi on 5 GHz drains more battery

Hello, I left the wifi on all night and I did have a drain. I ll try to cut off the 5ghz.

I flashed flar2 kernel and the WiFi drain is a lot less.

Wow thats crazy!!! I am experiencing over 2 % battery loss per hour and to me that is extremely high coming from custom roms on OP3.....but you are saying you had 5-10 % per hour from 5 Ghz, that is freaky. But thanks for the info man, I'm switching to only 2.4 Ghz to test overnight to see if it drops.....I should drop to like 0.5 % per hour . btw,my use during the day is fine, and I get over 8hrs SOT in a long work day.Just don't like to see high idle drain should I ever be stuck where I can't or forget to charge overnight and my phone drains dramatically. Will report back....Thanks again

This is my battery stats after being on LTE all day, then going to WiFi 5ghz.
You can see the gradual decrease in the first few hours and then a sharp decrease that corresponds when WiFi turned on. I'll give 2.4ghz a try.

Well I tried overnight drain with only 2.4 Ghz and it didn't help, still lost a lot overnight. I flashed boeffla kernel this morning and so far seems to have helped, currently at 1.1% idle drain, half of what it usually is. Hopefully the 4.5.7 OOS update fixes it for real

Neither 4. 5..7 nor 4.5.8 fixed the wifi idle drain for me, though sot was great. However, I flashed Lightning kernel v7, and immediately my drain has been fixed. Before it was 2 to 3 % per hour overnight, mostly caused by wifi. Now it's down to 0.6 to 0.7 %. Lighting kermel was the answer for me

[POLL] Average battery drain % per hour while idle

Just like the title says, I would like to know what is the average battery drain that you guys are getting on your S6 and S6E devices while leaving it on idle. My device is SM-920I and the battery drains about 0.7% on WiFi and 1.5% on 4G per hour. I understand that the mileage will vary depending on how many apps/radios you have installed/turned on, but would be interesting to know what everyone is getting as an average.
I'm running a fairly untouched version of clean rom. The only battery tweaking I'm done is having GPS only turn on for maps. About 1 to 2% an hour
Over night i am normally at 65%. When i wake up its at 64%..... all data,gps and sync are off. And on silent mode....
While phone in deep sleep, it drains 0% for 6H and 1% around 7-8H. All stock and no root.

The only way i can get this is to turn on Airplane mode. Otherwise it drains about 1% per hour.
Usually 5% overnight. 8 hours.
Everything on. Even gps

Not for me and dont ask me why. I just dont know why this happens. Only thing I did, was boot into recovery mode and wipe cache.

At best I get 0.6%/hr with WiFi turned off over night (about 7 hrs). With WiFi on and connected it's worse, 1.1%/hr drain. Weird to me that yours uses less battery on WiFi.
In either case, my 'held awake' time is between 35 minutes and 1 hour, again this is overnight.
I've done a lot of tests since getting the phone and this is consistent for me.

While on 3/4G, Google Services and Android Systems are draining more data than on WiFi which leads to higher battery usage on mine.
I get a drain of 7- 8% during my sleep with wifi 3g off and all multitasking off and greenify(root) on. please help me to reduce it. how to get my phone into deep sleep?

Get better battery starts and check the kernel and partial wakelocks to see what keeps it awake.
I have some atrocious battery drain. Right now im on XTreSoLite 2.0 Odex and uniKernel with pretty much every service disabled, greenified, app removed, etc thats possible and still get bad drain. Ive even gotten rid of the Google app in my quest to fix it. I have more battery and wakelock managing apps installed i do than everything else combined. Literally nothing i do seems to make it reasonable. Right now im draining at 7.9% an hour, I average 5 hours of SOT with 16 of standby. If I let my device idle I get 2 hours or so of SOT with standby of 18 hours. Overnight drain can be anywhere from 10% to 2% and I can't figure out what to do to fix it. And the worst part is, all my wakelocks aren't anything severe. The most severe one I have keeps my device awake for a total of 5 minutes at most over the 16 hour period.
Literally at my wits end.
I even tried to undervolt my processor but I can't find an app that actually works, most just revert what I set after a few minutes. ._.
Stock OS was terrible, my phone would die in literally four hours immediately after after factory reset and not signing into any accounts.

Maybe you have removed too much and some app is waiting for another which you have removed or greenified.
BTW a device draining in 4 hours probably means a defective battery, these things can be very dangerous! !!!!
1-4% based on what I have running when I go to bed. I leave everything on.

1-2% missing when i go to bed everythings on including wifi
I just have a night mode in Tasker. It drains around 1% over a night (8 hours) if bad cell, else less than 1%.
My night mode just toggle Bluetooth, data, wifi and GPS off and then on again at morning.
Yesterday had gone 25 hours without charging and still have 39% left but screen time of about 1.25 hours and most of the time on wifi. Talktime of about 1 hour. I haven't rooted or disabled any app and i find this is lot better idle drain than my nexus 5. But yeah i can only get around 4 hour SOT because i always use full brightness.
usually down bout 20%~ when i leave my phone for the night.

Battery overnight

7% of battery overnight.
Wifi, 3G, google now and side clock on.
Is this normal?
Standby Cell=2% (5h on time)
Android OS =1% (13m cpu)
Standby Device = 1% (4m cpu, 28m active)
I too loose between 5-7% overnight (8 Hours). Although the battery life of Edge+ is pretty good while in use, I have noticed that standby of the device isn't as impressive as earlier Note variants (Yes, I'm comparing with Note series).
WiFi - ON
Auto Sync - ON
2-3 Apps with Notification ON
Samsung Pay on Screen Off - ON

Your CPU seems to be idle 95% of the time! I never checked mine but yes, mine drops that much too! I don't think that's a rare case with this phone!
Ok so it is good right?
Then why it drains so much overnight?
Depinding on my signal strenght ,i saw -10% overnight ,ok maybe i slept like 10 hrs insted of 7-8 but still . Battery info said that the juice went to Cell signal standby or something like that.

yep, same here... so maybe it depends on the strength and quality of cell signal..
will test in the next days...
I am sure it cannot be any samsung app/service as I have disable 200 of them with package disabler pro
also, location/3g/wifi/sync/googlenow always on is the same setup I had on OnePlus One, that was using barely .5% per hour
it also true that on the OnePlusOne I could also turn off the notification light during night, while with this I cannot so it could happen that the light keeps on flashing for 5 hours, draining battery
also, I have edge clock on at night, still some drining...
I thought the deep sleep or idle drain was caused by lollipop, no? I lose over 10% from a 7hr sleep, even if I turn the WiFi off. WiFi eats up a lot of my battery for some reason, and I know my connection was good too.

It's been 5 nights and I confirm it drains 1% per hour.
This is my usage really bad...
8% in 6h
Night clock on
Wi-Fi on
4G on
Sync on
I received 5 emails so notification light has been blinking for almost 5h
Don't understand, cos stats are not that bad...
Think yourself lucky. I'm losing 50% overnight.
Battery life impressive during the day though

I solved my problem: night watch...
With night watch on I lose 1% per hour at night, with night watch off I lose 2% in 6h
I was consistently losing 2%-3% per hour overnight. But once I found an overactive app (Plume) and changed from instant notifications to 30 minute polling, my battery life has drastically improved. I've also used Package Disabler to disable bloatware on my device.
The past couple days my battery has been around 97% - 98% when I wake up in the morning.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Asus Zenfone 5V before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It goes OK for now. I guess I will use it for 2 more hours. AI boost off, gps off, wifi and cellular data on, Bluetooth off, auto brightness.
Wifi always on.
forgot to write: I listened music so much from spotify but not stream, I've downloaded them before.

Is the battery life still good? And on that note, how good is the standby drain (asking here because no one seems to have posted on that topic).
I'm worried about battery life because I'm seriously thinking about getting this over the OP6, but there aren't many reviews out there.

After 12 June update, sot has decreased. Now I get about 6~7 hrs BUT my brother (he uses this phone too) still gets 8 hrs. I'm on 20 June update but there's 22 June update (I didn't understand why ASUS gave this update very early. Also it is 410MB but the others were about 200~300 MB so I'm hopeful about this update) So I can't talk about the latest update (I didn't update)
About standby drain: When I was on 1 June update, only 4% gone whole night (11pm~7am) but I can't say anything about the other updates.
I will test sot and standby drain when I update.
Oh btw I want to write today's sot:
Last full (and last) charge: 16hrs 45 mins ago
Sot: 6 hrs 46 mins
5% left
Edit: I didn't see that my battery is 4% on screenshot. I'm sorry
Edit 2: I updated and not changed much. I got 7h25min max (used till 2%). I still couldn't test standby drain but if you want to know something, I can share my latest battery stats. 5h4min sot 15h23min total (so about 10 hrs idle) and 29% left. I guess I will get 2 more hours sot. According to me standby drain is good enough.

Looks decent. Could've been better, but I guess it's because of that IPS screen. Wish the battery could've been a bit bigger than the standard Zenfone 5.
I'm getting around 5:30 hours (on a Zenfone 5, not 5z), how do you manage to get 7:25?
UPDATE:
6:25 of mostly youtube and chrome browsing, bluetooth is always on paired to my smartwatch, as well as wifi and 4G.
(Zenfone 5 SD636). Overall im happy with that, think i can squeeze even more, i have APKpure taking 5% for some unknown reason.

How about your cellular signal, brightness, gps, Bluetooth and firmware?
About cellular signal: Do you get less than 5? Less signal causes phone to use SO MUCH battery and heat.

Actually the other day i was doing 6:25 SOT, which I'm quite happy with. 4G and WIFI are on all the time, and my phone is constantly connected by BT to my Amazfit Bip watch.
location is also always on, and I'm on the latest firmware (.19).
I am deeply impressed by the battery life of this phone. In first recharge I got close to 7h 43 min SOT, later in second recharge it went up to 8'36". Both cycles took considerable usage of roaming, bluetooth on for at least 4-5 hours, some streaming over bluetooth, wifi was used partially maybe not more than a couple of hours, google maps was used and finally the second recharge includes live streaming WC Final Match too. Both SIMs were occupied with primary on VoLTE and always data on.
Brightness was kept on comfortable 30-40% level except for while watching match, when it was close to 55%.

Learn how to use mobile manager.
There stop apps from auto starting.
Close apps from recents menu when you go to sleep.
WiFi/data off.
Check WiFi settings where it does not keep looking for signals.
My standby drain over 8 hours is 1%, sometimes barely touching 2...

Check if your area has constantly signal fluctuation. I remember my friend constantly had signals switching between 3G & 4G on his 3T and his battery drain was worse, but only at his home. Otherwise it was good.
If signal strength is good, it might be something else.

Thanks. Last night I kept it in 2G after taking care of above steps and lost 3% in 7 hrs, which is reasonable. However, on 4G still losing around 7-8%. Not sure if AI is consuming battery.

Around 4.5 hour with 30 minutes of pubg and switching between social media apps
Hope it gets improved in pue update
Initially got 3h43m sot with dual sim in 4G. Switched it to 2G/3G mode and sot increased to 5h45. So guess it was the constant fluctuations from 4G to 3G that was causing the low sot. But the last update a few weeks back and my sot has dropped to 5h, no change in my daily usage. Still in 2G/3G mode. Don’t know why the loss in almost an hour of sot
Hoping for good optimizations on pie.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Huawei P20 Pro's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Had my p20 pro yesterday. Turn on Ultra Battery when i go to bed at about 2300 with 69% battery. Wake up this morning at 0700 with 42% battery.

Sleeping like a baby (25 min Sot) wifi and lte.
Got phone yesterday. It had been charging sontooknit off charge when I went to sleep. 7 hours later it had only dropped 4% 96%.
2% batt drop in 9h21m with everything enabled overnight, very happy with that.
I even go to sleep with 30% juice left without plugging it into the charger now
I am amazed at the battery drain, hardly drains at all. I haven't not charged overnight like I did with my previous Pixel 2 XL. Battery drainer faster with P2XL.
Plugged off charger at 0030 last night, now at 0830 had about 85%. Use AOD and no battery saving mode.
This is <2% per hour! Luv it!

Brother even i have a same problem...
Every night before sleeping my phone is usually at 47-48%. Every morning it is at 15% or less..
Thats massive drop in 7-8 hours.
It could be the network signal. I've noticed that in my flat, when in standby, he doesn't drain that much and I'm on wifi and full signal coverage from Vodafone. On the other hand I have worse drain when I'm at work, still connected to the wifi but the network coverage is quite poor, so I realized it drains more even if I am not using it at all.

Well you point is valid.
Here at my place i get full bars on my 4g network. So it doesn't seem that problem.
I tried to test just on network. Wifi off. Battery drained 3% over night. Which is fine.
Then i tried with wifi on, it drained 20%. What i am concerned is that usually when on wifi battery doesn't drain at all in standby mode, which is not the case with my unit.
I want to know if there is some problem with that
Me too. I am experiencing 11% battery drain during standby. When I looked into the battery usage, Screen, Phone Idle and Mobile standby seems to be on the high side of 20%.
What I've just discovered is that in mobile Network Setting -> advanced -> "mobile data always on" was activated by default. Just turned it off and will now see if it reduces both idle and active usage drain when connected with WIFI. Because afaik this setting keeps mobile data enabled when connected with wifi to make switching between wifi and mobile data quicker (which i dont really need and never missed).

Because afaik this setting keeps mobile data enabled when connected with wifi to make switching between wifi and mobile data quicker (which i dont really need and never missed).

I have p20 pro now, very happy with how little i drain overnight, but with a previous phone i noticed that when it was cold it frained much quicker, i dont know where the guys are who are omlainging about large battery drain, but it could be an issue?
I have set Mobile Data always on to Off but still experiencing great battery drain. Fully charged at 12am and woke up 5.30am with 70% remaining.
A quick look into my Battery Usage, found out that Screen, Phone Idle and Mobile standby is at 20ish%. Does anyone have this same issue or these 3 hardware should stay at a certain range in order for my battery drain to minimise?

I think you definitely has something running in the background draining your battery. I have everything active even Mobile Data always on and still my battery only uses around 2% in 9-10 hours.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Poco F1's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
About 3% battery drain in approx 8 hours

Considering the total capacity of the battery, that strikes me as a bigger drop than I'd be used to, particularly with a virtually brand new battery - anyone else?
Yeah.. Agree!

I've never owned a phone running MIUI but I understand it has pretty aggressive power management (shutting down services and relaunching them when they're needed, rather than just letting Android's power management do its thing in letting them sleep). Wondering if battery drain might be a MIUI-thang?
Does anyone have any first hand experience to improve on my rumour-based speculation?
Had a really bad stand by drain from about 85 to 63 percent because of Wifi
Turning WiFi off solves the problem

That's because your phone was awake all the time because of wifi on all the time. Phone didn't go to deep sleep.

That's a weird battery graph you have there. Even though screen was off, somehow you phone was awake non stop without a break.
Below is my battery graph. When screen is off, 99% time phone won't be awake. But I don't know much about that stuff.

i don't think its due to the wifi. check your apps usage/battery page. some app is draining the battery. just close all apps and reboot your phone.

The battery usage of all the apps seems to be normal but Android system has pretty high usage of about 20percent
In the image below it can be seen that that the battery drain is present only when I keep the WiFi on.

besides android system, what other apps is listed there? can you show the apps usage screenshot?
I'm also getting quite high battery drain at night (around 13%), I have really few apps installed and I tried closing all the apps in memory before going to bed. I haven't tried turning wifi off but that shouldn't be the issue in a modern phone. I hope it gets fixed in an OTA. Otherwise battery life is great.
I tried factory resetting the phone but the problem persists.Ill post the usage when I have used it for some time.
I noticed another thing that this problem is only present for specific WiFis. It works just fine for other networks and also in the networks where the problem is present there is a constant network traffic of about 20-30kbps

Don't think there's going to be any OTA for that. Only few people facing the issue. I get like 4% drain over 12 hours and I'm sure that's due to random notifications waking my phone during sleep. Thats normal.
Nobody tried BetterBatteryStats? It should show what is draining the battery.

I too have this issue, my battery drained 20% with the screen off + WiFi ON for 7 hours. My graph was almost the same as yours, even though the screen was OFF my system was awake.
Today I checked the same by turning OFF WiFi, there was only 2% drain.

0.5 percent/hour in case WIFI is off
1-2 percent/ hour if wifi is on
In case of poor network reception 2.5-3 percent/ hour with wifi turned on
2% to 5% drainage at night.
The battery drains 2% to 5% at night. Well yeah , it doesn't makes sense while the battery is 4000 mAh , I tried removing background app but still something sucks the battery. I'm new to MIUI , might be the case with this operating system or is it due to always on fingerprint sensor?? I would like to disable that feature because I am I'm love with face unlock. It's just awesomeness!

..
In last few days i am observing, my battery drained max 2-3% in any given night.
I kill all apps from recent menu before goin to sleep. I never turn off WiFi.
I feel its quite impressive for my usage. Lasts me whole day with 20-30% remaining. I get SOT of min 7hrs before battery hitting 10%.
If anyone of you facing major battery drain, try using battery saver. It turns off sync, turns off gps/location. You can even schedule it if you want.
In my case with battery saver on, my general usage is unaffected. Bettery lasts 15-20% more. I even play PUBG at full settings with bettery saver on and it doesn't drop a single frame.
