I flashed the leaked Android Oreo OTA to my Verizon Galaxy S8 and am experiencing pretty terrible battery life. I'm getting about 2 1/2 hours of SoT which I find bad for 2018. Meanwhile, my Verizon LG V30 with Nougat is getting 5+ hours of SoT which drives me crazy. Any tips to improve? Also, how's your battery life with Oreo on your S8?
I haven't taken the dive for the Oreo beta based ROMs but have been following the threads and the consensus is that at present Oreo is no better than N, it actually seems to be a little worse for most, hence I'll wait for a while still before jumping to O, give it more time for fine tuning on the S8 by developers etc. just my opinion, plus I get 6 odd hours of SoT on my N custom ROM so I have no urgency to go to O until its more polished.
Terrible, i updated mine couple of weeks ago and noticed about this battery issue, it drains fast despite of disabling the likes of location, reducing the brightness, bluetooth. i informed samsung about it. Before i used it outside with a (-3 temperature since i live in Finland), it was fully charged 100%. I only used it NOT more than 5 minutes for videoing and taking pictures and that's it, i stayed outside for more than an hour. When i checked my battery it was 56% ! I know that cold temperature diminishes the battery performance but not to extent of that emptying the battery in half:

After I updated to Oreo I had horrible battery life as well... It one time dropped about 20% when the phone was resting with the screen off in the couch.
I disabled everything bixby related. Force closed, uninstalled updates, and disabled in every way possible.
Now I get decent battery life. I live in Sweden, we have -4°c today, and the phone worked just fine even outside. No significant battery drop.

Is Android System percentage higher than normal? And what about screen on time on daily usage?

I haven't really measured it. But I got that fix update for the first CRAP update and I'm back to horrible battery life.

you can try flash a custom kernel , are you using stock or custom rom ? which firmware?
I'm using the stock version. I'm not that tech expert to modify it although my phone is at developer version. Anything I can do more?
Thanks for your reply btw.

I have a Verizon HTC10 with Oreo, software version 3.18.605.13. A few days ago, the battery begins to drain much faster. I install Gsam Battery monitor and the analisys results that Combined app cpu apk is using a 20% of battery, any idea of solution for this problem?
After Android Pie update on Nokia 6, overall battery life has been reduced drastically. Even keeping the phone edle has caused battery to drain about 20%. Even with adaptive battery ON, there massive battery drainage when compared to oreo in a given time.
Anyone with same issues and any suggestions for fixes or workaround?
I'm facing with quite similar issue as like you, but I haven't able to update my phone, because the battery level stays at 20% even if the phone is on the charger at all day (TA-1021). This problem started 2 days ago. Everithing is official on the device, no mods have made. It's just a year old phone.
Hi everyone does anyone have worse battery life in latest two updates i means second october update and latest november security patch update...my battery is drain much more than before...
I think so.
I think ASIG is still best version ever made for this device...
Good performance and good battery
Just hoping Android 10 will become better (not for now on Betas though)
I have noticed the same. Exynos version and now again with 2.5 hrs sot. Again need wait other update to improve

I agree ASIG is best one i have there good battery and performance...hole to android 10 be better
Yeah I've noticed this too
I have noticed this battery drain too. What I did, I did a factory reset and installed the latest firmware via odin. Since then, I am getting a smoother as-normal battery life with stable idle drain and 7 hours of screen time approximately.
Me 2 experience battery drain on the latest firmware. Maybe its the latest magisk update. Idk
I had exactly the same issue...I let the battery drop to 0 where the phone switched off. I charged it with normal charging speed till full...repeated the process and the 2nd charge on quick and battery life back to normal
I have installed MIUI.eu 12 on my Redmi Note 7. Using GSam Battery Monitor, I get 3.2%/h of battery consumption, SOT = 2h41. Most app that consummes energy is system. In the details, Significant Motion Detector consumes a lot of time.
Any way to correct this behavior??
Thanks!
I am also facing this issue after updating to miui 12
Same problem here! Often battery consumption reach more than -750mAh (even -1200mAh!) even when I'm just scrolling homescreen!
What about yours consumption when screen is off? Mine are pretty good, like around -0,5% per hour.
