Horrible battery life - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

https://imgur.com/a/uw1yr
I'm running Resurrection Remix on the latest build and have been having horrible battery life (about 2 hours sot) since quite a while now. I now charge like 2-3 times a day and overnight...
I recently did a clean wipe and reinstalled all my apps while only restoring Google authenticator and wifi passwords with titanium backup. I'm rooted with Magisk. I bought my Axon7 quite exactly one year ago. Have I fried my battery?

Does RR have anything like the stock power manager?

No, not really... I mean I can set a power profile, but that doesn't really do much.
I have to confirm that again, but if I turn on Airplane mode, my battery is a beast. I think there's some sort of drain coming from the kernel or something

You could try flashing a different modem for your model.

Maybe an app or two also keeping it awake and trying for a network? Not getting a deep sleep in doze.
Stock ROM has power manager and I suspect that is the only reason I get a day from mine.

If you're still suffering I suggest you go back to stock or reflash properly as in step by step and make sure nothing has gone wrong.

Where would I get that? I believe a friend helped me flash one a few weeks ago, but I don't remember where it was from. (I've had the issue before too, though)

I get this too. Absolutely horrible battery life. Well this started happening after I flashed the B32 bootstack and stock system to fix my camera issues. At first I thought it was the stock rom but I flashed candyrom and the llama sweet kernel EAS version and I still get it. I do think it's the phone signal but I'm not sure yet. I used to drop to 98% in about 10-20 minutes with WiFi on and screen on. Now I lose 10% in that time. I went from 98% (it doesn't even want to fill charge anymore but I think it's the kernel) to 92 in 10 minutes.

I feel you... I really hope it's just basically a software issue... If you have any solution, please, please update me and the others here - i just flashed the kernel that got recommended to me and I'll try if it makes things better. Otherwise I'll wait for Oreo, I guess...
I'm not even that sensible to bad battery life in phones because i always carry a powerbank, but if the phone barely makes it to work in the morning and I have to recharge it at work at 25% or so, it gets a little annoying ^^

True that...I don't believe it to be the battery. It could be software. I noticed that my battery usage spikes up to 1140+ mAh and stablizes at 460 mAh which is way too much. I remember only getting up to 430+ in worst cases and stabilizes at 200-300+
Here's what my battery usage looks like:

I hope you find a solution too. If you do, please let me know.

Download center is all A2017G, unfortunately not for me as I'm on U and in the LOS thread the latest modem is from February so I'm almost certain I have that already flashed. Too bad. I guess we'll figure out what the problem is.

Fullstock is how I got into this mess i think, since this started happening as soon as I flashed B25 bootstack and stocksystem. But the new baseband, I'll try that and see how it goes. However that's B25, we're on B32 so hopefully someone posts the new modem. I have not tried flashing an older bootstack as I somehow doubt that will fix it. Granted, i noticed my battery life starting to wear while I was on an older bootstack while on DARK rom.
ediit: it seems i'm already running this modem version. https://imgur.com/a/8jeEh

battery time just fell off

without doing anything new my battery time just droped off the face of the earth.. its down about 75%. i was getting a full day mixed use now all of a suden im getting 6-8 hours with just a few phone calls.
my awake time is at 16%
I havent done anything new that i can think of.
im using (and have been for awhile) the mugen 1800 extended battery.
trying to think what might be doing it and cant come up with anything i havnt found in the forums already.
you probably downloaded some app that is running in the background continuously. check with a task manager to see what's running, and then try uninstalling some recent apps to test it out.
thats what i was thinking but i cant find anything new running with the task manager

Could just be a bad battery? I'm having same problem, maybe worse with stock battery. I went from 100% down to 15 in like 5 hours just reading my RSS feeds every hour or so. I think I may have fried my battery using it to tether for excessively long periods.
You're not using your phone to tether are you?
Mine is way down this week too. Initially I thought it was Swype, but not so sure anymore because no other users are reporting problems.
Are you using Modaco's rom and kernel ? or any new kernel for that matter? Ever since I switched kernels my battery hasn't made it through the day.

I'm using gbhil's custom kernel and seeing BETTER battery life when used with setCPU (using ondemand setting with 'standby/sleep' profile turned on, and set to 160/480).

No I'm not.. Turned a few more newer apps off and still no good today.. I was at 5% batt left after 9 hours with about 10 minutes web browsing (not wifi) 4 or 5 text messages and about 45 minutes talk time. That's down about 90% from were I was a week ago .
I managed to narrow my problem down to the Taskiller widget. Removed the widget (still running the app full time) and all is well.
Last night I rolled back to before I used a custom Kernel. I rather battery life over speed. I need my phone to last from 6am to at the very least 7pm. I think once people get over the performance boost, we'll see a lot more posts relating to battery issues.

might be that too, i hope not as i love that keyboard. just having it installed shouldn't drain the battery, should it? im on day 2 with the custom kernel and i too noticed more battery drain. at 1pm my hero was fully charged. i only played a bit with the phone and made two short calls and it's down to 86% already at 4pm. i want to roll back but i do like the speed of the new kernel. ill see how it does tonight.

Yeah going back to regular input sucks. Swype was only some leaked beta version, we don't really have right to complain; however, I bet their end product will be much better. I just hope they'll release it as an app and not as part of custom Android phone so we can get it sooner.
figured I woud resurect this thread rather than start a new one.
yesterday I decided to RUU my phone to pull the completely stock apks out of it. after I did that I restored my backup of fresh 1.1 with gbhils kernel and now I am at 90% awake time spare parts shows that "android system" as something keeping it awake. any suggestions on what this could be? could it have something to do with restoring the back up with the kernel over stock without a wipe?

How to get a good battery life!

Well I don't no where to start really as I know I will get told off for making a new thread about battery life!
But this is hopefully some help for people out there that are trying to get a decent ROM and kernel to improve your battery life, well mine has really improved since flashing my Samsung GS2 with Lite'ning ROM 6.1 and flashing the kernel with SpeedMOD T-40.
I have spent lots of hours reading forums about battery life, I think I have tried everything known to man about this phone, somethings worked well somethings didn't, I wanted to get a decent battery life with out sacrificing any features I love about my phone!
When I got into rooting, about 2 months ago I was a n00b, but I stuck to it and learnt a lot each day, it's not easy and you can't expect someone to tell you how to do it, you have to read up about it like everyone else!
But anyway back to why I've created a new thread, well after installing Lite'ning ROM 6.1 at the beginning of the week which I really like as it keeps the Samsung software, I've used TB Pro to freeze the Hubs as I don't use them, the battery life wasn't what I thought, in fact I think I got a better battery life with the stock rom unrooted
I did some researching and found that the kernel can make a difference to (I'm still learning) so after reading some forums I learnt that speedmod kernel worked well with Lite'ning ROM, as It was just the kernel that came with the ROM, ninphetamine 2.0.5, so I flashed the kernel last night with Odin and within minutes I was back up and running.
I then charged the phone 100% and then use a battery calibrator app to wipe battery stats, I then did a basic test which I previously did before, I went to sleep with a fully charged phone, I left everything on: WIFI, mobile data network and sync on set my alarm clock and went to sleep (p.s I checked a few websites so battery actually went down to 98%)
8 hours later I woke up checked my phone to see what % it was left one, previously on stock ROM with same set up my phone would be on 65% due to the Android OS bug running high! This time it was on 91%, so that's less than 1% drain an hour! Happy or what!
I know some people might not say this was a actual battery test but to me it is and I can see a big difference, funny thing is the AOS was showin 35% in batt stats, which is strange!
Now as I write this at 1pm my phone has been on for 14hrs and I'm still at 75%, yes I know the first 8 hrs was in standbye, but I've had a lot of notifications come through from G+ this morning and I'm pretty happy with what I have got set up now, without compromise as well!
I will upload a screen shot later if any wants to see when my battery stats when its down to 1% etc
I hope his helps some people out there, but I wanted to keep it simple for some as I was once a n00b (might still be)

"Want good battery life!!!" - I believe the OP is ordering the reader to demand better battery life. I agree with the OP. Let's start "Occupy Samsung" movement.
thanks for this thread. i will definitely try it later after some playing around with CM7
@Maverik: Np dude.. glad to help
@Kreo: basing in OP's statement and the last part of it, he is stating how to get a better battery life instead of demanding for it..

No worries, I thought that if it helped me its going to help more ppl.

I am the stable. its snappy and i liked the different look and feel with other roms that i hv tried such as litening, villain, batista and stock.
Today i installed setcpu and will see how the battery will perform.

Cool, I did try CM7 but it was a nightley, build 68 I think, if they had brought the stable version out a week earlier I would be on that now, but I hear there are still bugs?
At least with Lite'ning its completely stable plus I like the look of the neon blue effect
My battery is on 64% now, I think I can go 2 days with this now
I'm on CM 7.1 Stable now and now even after 2 days i still have almost 40% battery left out, though on stock i never got more then 1 days

That's not bad, which Kernel are you using, the default one?
I have 5% left and going to screen shot it at 1% to show ppl what they can get, bearing in mind I could get max 12hrs out of it before!
1 day 9 hrs so far brilliant if you ask me!

I first rooted it with superoneclick and it downloaded odin and flashed some insecure kernel first and then rooted it
Then i just installed CM 7.1 with Rom Manager, not sure which kernel is it
if you are gonna try cm7 try the latest nightly build....thats pretty more stable than the "stable" version...i think build 83 is out today and that will have pretty much more bug fixes and i hope they can get that browser lag fixed and thats pretty done deal for me to switch over to that completely

I can't keep up with the nightleys plus when I tried build 68 I think it was, camera didn't work at all. Is the latest much better?
Also which Android version is it based on?
Happy!
So as promised here are screen shots of my phone running at 1%, I forgot to screen shot CPU spy as well (sorry) but I can say that with this set up I am really happy, as I cannot remember when with general use I have managed to get over a day with out charging my phone, iPhone 4 included!
If there is a better set up out there with a newer ROM I would be interested as this is based on 2.3.4 tho Google Talk video works so I'm happy

man that os is very high....but you still managed to get a day out of it so not bad work buddy..
nightly there is a new one coming out today version 83...still few bugs they need to sort out but once that is done il be on there...that firmware is based on 2.3.7.
im using speedmod latest kernel..it does not support bln or bootlogo but i would sacrifice all that for a decent battery life which i am getting....so far 5 and half hours past and im down to 75% and 2hours screen on time....not bad i think

Really bad "Battery Life" since "Nougat" update

Hey Everyone
I downloaded the latest Nougat Firmware (France Version) for my SM-G928F
I did a clean Nougat install with Odin (after I wiped everything) and after that I flashed the TWRP Recovery with SuperSU. Now I have experienced that the battery life is really bad, it's like the deep sleep bug I had with 6.0.1. a year ago....
Here's a screenshot of the battery history
https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/33267464/Screenshot_20170602-012352.png
Is there any solution for this issue?
Same for me, on stock with no root i have a bug with deep sleep, i have lost about 10 % in less than 4 hours of deep sleep but idk why. Using XEF Rom too...
You need a kernel that fixes deep sleep issue. I recommended dr ketan nougat rom + kernel it comes with or khongloi rom. Both are polished nougat roms that have extra features with the S8+ port.
If you dont wanna flash a custom rom just flash an arter97 kernel or a khongloi Vx kernel.
I'll try out another stock rom from my country since it's finally released now. But I'm sure the bug does appear again. I really don't like custom kernel or roms, only if there's no other way... Maybe I go back to 6.0.1. Stock, had no issues there with Custom Recovery and Root.

All samsung phones have it. Its just sometimes due to irregular movement the OIS module gets jammed and has trouble trying to stabilise the picture. It usually only happens ever so often.

Guys, Do you have problems with Charging? After nougat even wen WIPED phone etc. I have problem witch car charger.
With WALL CHARGER on fast charge i can use my phone normally and i can see how fast it charges. In car if i am using Maps it charges verry slowly, sometimes even discharging. With MM it was charging Fast. in 30mins 10% with maps turned on was normal, now it can charge 1-2% or even dicharge 1-2%... Tested Few chargers, original and not;....
Same here. My battery is not very good after update.
Same here. Sh*t Samsung - not enough 1 year delay spreading firmwares when there's a new one already presented and only 18 months firmware guaranteed, there are always more problems and bugs. This battery drain is a problem or bug each time become worst! I think Samsung, never more - or a lot cheaper chinese who are the same or better and not so fragile (like new htc, xiaomi and so on) or iPhone that we've always new firmwares just in time at for, at least, 4 years guaranteed.
I'm pissed off with this sh*t Samsung...

Battery life on Oreo

I flashed the stock image and i found the battery life abysmal. Not even a day
7-8 hrs tops with barely any usage
Anyone has experienced the same issue
Give it a few days and see if it improves. Sometimes drastic updates can have adverse effects on the battery
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I have one of the best battery life on O right now and I'm not pointing fingers to anything but google.
I was excited after hearing "Android Vitals" and they are on point about it.
Try to flash a custom kernel like EX or Flash though Ex's kernel isn't fully committed with the O source code but you may at least try it. On a side note there are still apps out there that aren't coded properly for O which would probably hinder your angler so look out for them a lot.
Thank you everyone for pitching in
Like I mentioned I flashed the stock image and gave it 2 days but as I disconnect the phone from the charger at around 9 AM (100%) , by 3-4 PM I am being left with 30% or less . By 6 PM it starts beeping as it hovers 15%
I barely use the phone at work. I just do occasional messaging (text and whatsapp). I removed all apps except the ones that I really need. No games...etc
I did flash the other day the EX Kernel ( Beta for O) for which I have the paid manager version.
It drives me crazy as it seems to be draining at a very fast rate with no apparent reason.
What's even more frustrating is that the built in battery app doesn't shed much light. The process that takes the most battery is "System" but that's all.
Maybe it's time for a new phone

Thank you everyone for pitching in
Like I mentioned I flashed the stock image and gave it 2 days but as I disconnect the phone from the charger at around 9 AM (100%) , by 3-4 PM I am being left with 30% or less . By 6 PM it starts beeping as it hovers 15%
I barely use the phone at work. I just do occasional messaging (text and whatsapp). I removed all apps except the ones that I really need. No games...etc

Yes, I went back to paranoid nougat, because I got the same
battery experience as you with O. But I'm reading that you use
what's app, do you can play a video if someone sending you one? Since the O previews for me the videos are just loading but not playing, and that's only the case by using android O, doesn't matter if I use what's app or what's app beta.
I got the 2% battery drain bug and sometimes i dont, ive reflashed oreo about 8 times lol, sometimes it dies at 15%..

I haven't had any issues with any of the apps. Whatsapp works well I can play videos see the pics etc
I think I am going to get back to Paranoid
I read somewhere I needed to flash first the Nougat stock before attempting to put any custom ROM. Is that what you did?

No, just my twrp backup, you can stay on latest bootloader and radio. Strange thing with whats app, may oreo doesn't like my internal, if final release come I will complete clean flash with fastboot.
Edit: check latest Pixeldust rom, it's like pa with a bit more useful features
I think my phone may be defective
Even on Paranoid the battery seems bad
The miscellaneous was on top of the list . What does that mean .... ?
Battery update.- Running kylo kernel r9 , working great so far just a few personal tweaks applied.

I'm not sure what you're expecting, give the rom some time and charges to settle battery. How old is your phone? If you don't have patience flash stock image and completely wipe your phone if you think something is faulty.
Well...
I used to get like a day out of the phone . With my minimal usage I would disconnect it in the morning and still have like 30-40% when getting back home in the evening.
All of the sudden one day I was just on my way home and I noticed the phone was off. I tried power it back on but it kept on flashing red as it was totally drained. Since then battery went downhill.
I'm not crazy and I do not have unrealistic expectations but 5 or 6 hours of battery with almost no usage seems a bit off. I gauged just by looking at the numbers being something ridiculous like 10% an hour.
I did wipe and flash the stock few times. Oreo then Nougat
Since the issue persisted I am thinking the phone just went bad.
If your battery is faulty, then it's faulty, that's why i asked how old your phone is. Ain't there battery health apps to take a look how worse it is.
Yeah I think it's maybe 1yr and half old.
I'm starting to evaluate those Essentials and Pixels 2.
Or better get a Pixel 1st gen if they drop low enough
Sounds to me like your battery is worn out. I'm amazed that you got 1.5 years out of it because I've seen posts from people who didn't even make it a year. You mentioned that it's draining 2% at a time and shuts down at 15%, which are pretty strong indicators that your battery is shot.

Nokia 8 (pure android) is an option too, but I would change the battery, n6p is still a very nice piece of hardware. Essential
is a hype phone til now.
Do you have a trusted source you can share for a battery?
There are so many floating around and I'm not sure about their quality

Hard to say, I will run accubattery for week, after a first charge it doesn't look very promising for me too, and my phone is a bit over a year old. may some other users know a better tool or app, but this one doesn't seem to be so bad. Let's see what happens after some charges.
Akku Gesundheit=Accu Health, sry it's german here.
If you search for a replacement there is a thread here on xda
for the 6p, OEM battery or something like this

Edit: may you try to do a rma with your 6p, like this lucky guy

Same for me, with Oreo it's even worse
Update, kylo kernel r9, works fine however my phone now dies at 5% instead of 15%-20% much better but still.

help with lineage os battery

I have a nexus 6p. Clean wiped and clean flashed lineage latest nightly. Everything is fine but battery, I did have to download the vendor image for build number n2g48c n flash with twrp but no big deal.
My issue is within the the battery. Every time my phone hits 15% it literally half a second later hits 0 and dies...I've let it run dead in recovery and everything and this keeps persisting. How do I fix this and what should I do, please all help is appreciated.
Simple.
Recalibrate battery. That probably would have happened even if you had some other rom. It's because the phone thinks the battery charge is greater than what it physically is. Just get one of the battery calibration apps charging to 100% wait for the notification sound, then unplug. I've had to do this twice in the last year or so but your phone will be operating all normal afterwards. It happens just from charging and discharging without turning off for a long time the battery has a value and your phone has a value should be at they don't always show the same that's why. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
PS. Still is probably going to be yelling at you for not posting this in the correct forum 'Questions'

You have a defective battery, same issues as I once had. Replaced with Cameron Sino battery and hasn't happened since.
It only happens in the rom though. When I flash to stock and use the standard pure android os, it dies when its supposed to

Well you answered your own question, report to ROM Dev and give him bug report. Everything you mentioned is suspect of bad battery. Calibration to battery is myth, there is no use in it.

Wasn't sure if there was something something to do or not. I'll capture bug report next time. Also try reflashing again see if that fixes it. If not then i dk. Is there an app to use att hotspot without using a ROM? That's the only reason I do

You may also want to run Accubattery to test your battery health. I run LOS on another Nexus device and haven't ever had a problem with early shutdown. Second, I guess our AT&T plans are different, because I use the hotspot all the time on AT&T and have never had a problem with any stock Google ROM. This is on N6, N6P, N7, N9. You may want to look at your plan details and find out why you can't use the hotspot. It may be as simple as changing or reprovisioning your SIM, then again it may be your plan excludes it?
Edit: You may also want to try using a kernel with LOS. I've had real good luck with the EX Kernel/LOS combination.

My plan excludes it, because I have the unlimited gophone plan. So they removed hotspot for some odd reason. But as far as battery goes I'll give it a shot see if it helps. I appreciate it!
Last week I hit about 20% an phone instantly shuts off and wouldn't turn on saying low batt. I charged for a few minutes and attempted to power on which it did. I went to battery usage and saw the device slowly declined over the whole day till 20% then immediately flat lined at 0%. Almost like it thought there was plenty of capacity left but in reality was completely exhausted.

Are you running LOS? You've been around a while and know the drill. Check your battery capacity.
