~50% battery loss in 6 hours, idling...

Hey guys, a few days ago I flashed the new Energy ROM, August 28th and, for the first time I used Task29, I have never used it before as I just didn't see the necessity, my flashes have always been problem free. However whether or not this is related is unbeknownst to me.
My phone has been uber sluggish lately, sometimes for ten or fifteen minutes at a time, so I looked into the processes active in the task manager and there is a process called filesys.exe that has been running as high as 98% in standby, while the phone is in use, after a reset, bascially whenever and it feels like it.
I have searched and searched and I can't find a solution to this, I have hard reset, flashed a new ROM and it still persists. I've uploaded some pics of the process in action, as you can see in eight minutes I've lost four percent battery, although I did use Wi-Fi and Remote Access briefly to send the pics I took using ShakeAndSave.
Does anyone have any solution to this? It's rendering my phone unusable.

Try removing your SD card and reboot, see if it still does it.
It might be error correcting a corruption.

Check if the sense musicplayer still works, mine doesn't work anymore and if I press the music-tab one time it keeps searching for the library, and my phone's battery drowned pretty quickly.

Hello there,
Try disabling your HSPDA and switching to just GPRS for the day, see if there are improvements or not. I once had this mega draining situation, I went out, bought a new battery and it was still the same, THEN a friend of mine who works for the Telco i was using told me that sometimes, when the Telco is having issues with the transmitters, it causes everyone's phone to reconnect repeatedly, that could exhaust the batteries also.. don't know how much truth but I switched my SIM to another telco, and I don't have that issue any more..
Peace!
Ben

Have you go G-Profile running
A while ago I had issues on a stock ROM with the phone draining battery power quite fast. I traced the problem to the phone never really going into standby mode. It turned out that G-Profile was the culprit. I un-installed it and the problem was resolved.

heres a snap of mine just a few secs ago, phone has been on all day, been playing music for 2.5 hours and spoken for 17 mins. as u can see 80% VBN rom,
not sure if it helps u at all

I seldom have it on 3G/HSDPA, I usually just keep it on EDGE until I have the need to use the faster connection.
There isn't much covering this subject in the recent 2-3 years, but I do seem to have solved it, although I am aware some people haven't been able to rid their handsets of it even after multiple flashes, I don't know the root cause of it, so I can't claim to know if this actually did solve a problem etc etc...
I Task29'd, installed Energy CHT, left it for a few days and the problem persisted, it had been going on for 2-3 days before I used Task29 I have established. While the OS was on there I hard reset 1-2 times and eventually reflashed the Energy CHT again, and it still happened.
I then removed HSPL, flashed the O2UK stock 1.72 ROM, left it like it for half a day, I didn't install any mods or programs and it seemed to be fine, so I re-HSPL'd with 2.08, installed Energy GTX (I fancied a change) and bingo it's been right as rain for a good 24 hours now.
I don't know where the issue came from, or where it went to, but I seem to be sailing smoothly once again, and I am very grateful for it!

I am currently fighting with this same issue, I lost more than 30% last night while I slept, am currently tshooting the issue using the batt log and truning off a few things and starting to use bandswitch.
When I find something definitive, I will post it.

Check that you arent having this "car kit mode" issue. The battery in the phone seems to drain alot faster when the phone is acting up, because the phone will never goto sleep or stay asleep.

My issue was definitive, it was the Filesys.exe file chewing up all the CPU's cycles, it wasn't a random battery drain.

Axon 7 (Official ROM) known BUGS

I use phone (a2017g, V1.2.0B.09) 20 days.
I have noticed these bugs in ROM:
1) Mobile signal stops presenting in battery stats graph,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
2) Dolby periodically change my castom profile to music or turn off,
3) Double tap is not reliable,
4) In camera app for front camera, beauty mod is default and can't change.
List of bugs are not significant.
what bugs did you notice?

Not necessarily bugs, but annoyances;
Bluetooth always off after restart
Bluetooth won't auto connect to paired device
Live Wallpaper changes back to default without setting change

I don't know what people do to their phones but mine doesn't suffer these bugs. Selfie mode works normally, Dolby seems to work ok but I actually switch it off mostly. Double tap is good, BT auto connect usually works, maybe sometimes problems with this are partly to do with the audio device? I usually don't want to wait for auto connect as I have a lot of paired devices and will just go in and do it manually but if I leave it, it will work.
If I had all these bugs, I would back up data and reset the phone.

Sometimes my battery graph/percentage freezes and does not go down with use. Happened to me twice in the 2 months plus I own it.
But the worst bug is this phone kills SD cards.

Like said above, if someone has a bunch of bugs, do a backup, reset and clean install :good:

Ideally, reset should not be the first resort to a problem but the last resort. Imagine if my Windows PC requires a format every time there is a problem, I will get no work done.
Having said that, do you know if reset will solve the SD card killing problem that some of us have?

Of course this is what we ment by doing a clean install if problems don't go away or reoccur.
Btw, resetting my phone and doing a clean install costs me some minutes. A pc is quite something different
No, unfortunately I do not think resetting this phone will resolve the sd-killing issue.

For example I have 3 apps running. When I tap recent apps it shows those 3 apps then I tap "clear all" it says "apps were closed" and shows the amount of memory cleared when I tap recent apps again it shows all same those apps again!!??
Whenever I close them by X icon on top right then it works but "clear all" never works
Anyone same situation?

Huge battery consumption, help needed

Hi all,
I am very satisfied with my device except for the battery life. I always had like 3-4 hours SOT. I was not happy but it was OK.
Lately I started charging the device every day after work (I would come home with dead phone after only 8-9 hours of it being unplugged).
So I thought the battery is defective, I must change it... and I did change it yesterday. The thing is that even the new battery behaves almost the same. It approved somewhat and now I will return home with 10% battery instead of dead phone 1 hour ago. But still the battery is terrible...
Can anyone help me, share some advice on how to improve it? I have disabled many software (even facebook), disabled location... did everything I could think of.
I am thinking some app is drawing the juice but cannot put my finger on any of them.
Some screenshots are attached that might help with your tips/advices.
Thanks!

Are you rooted? On nougat? If so get background restrictor APK here on XDA and kill background apps and tasks so they can't run if you do not open them. Lower screen brightness. Install kernel auditor and shut off cores 4 and 8.

uninstall chrome. Then try accubattery (better bcause after android 7, they join all in android system to mask each app consumption. If after this you still can't find out where's the problem, start the phone in "safe mode". Even the consumption is better in this mode you must do a full wipe in recovery mode (vol up+power+home) and after this, reinstall one app each time and see after reinstall the second one and so on until you find out in which app is draining the battery
If you want you can starting by disabling background data in settings but I think isn't the clearer way to find out

This is going to surprise you.
I've had this phone for years and I've tried everything - and the BEST result is when you DON'T DO ANYTHING except disable Facebook and Instagram, and any Google Apps you don't use.
Do not tamper with anything else.
I figure that Samsung tunes this phone so tightly that if you leave it alone it operates as it should.
Anytime I disabled anything else, battery life suddenly and drastically reduced.
The phones runtime software kicks in and if you have disabled something it checks routinely, it will keep the phone awake constantly looking for a ping back from that process.
I just went through the whole process again meticulously, App by App.
Also DO NOT enhanced messaging OR the device antivirus. If you have, you must reset and then train yourself not to engage these too regardless of how hard The phone tries to persuade you!
Then - the battery life becomes like a normal phone which means you'll still need to charge everyday but it will take you through a full heavy day... And this is fantastic!
Honestly try it and you'll see what I mean. The S6 edge plus is so finely tuned, anything you block will start a feedback loop.

I had similiar problems , the way i fixed it, i disabled/uninstalled all samsung applications what i dont use, i disabled/uninstalled all google applications what i dont use. Cold weather (like -20C) will affect the battery life too.
Disable / uninstall apps you dont need. That helped me a lot and got even more battery life while at stock nougat rom with all updates installed.
try wiping cache from recovery and reboot your phone.
I hope this helps you

The Android Oreo 8.0 update is FINALLY here

It looks like the update pushes are on a daily limit right now. But regardless, it's here!

Downloading it right now!

LG G6 ThinQ. Nice!

never thought we'd actually get it, updating now!

Updating now. Odd that it is still unavailable via Bridge.

So far nothing really noticeable besides major changes to the setting menu. They also added a square dot on the navigation bar so that you can hide the bar per app. Battery life still unknown. I do wish we have 8.1 instead, but I think this is the end of this phone. I will check if the Bluetooth stuttering issue is resolved for my car.

Is someone willing to grab the KDZ from LG Bridge?
-- Brian

Battery life doesn't seem good. It appears to be noticeably worse although I don't remember the old battery life. Today is weekend so I am mostly at home connected to a very good wifi signal. Phone has NOT been reset. It was upgraded last night so today was the first full day use.
Total time 10 hr since removal from charger at 100%.
Battery is down to 34%. SoT is 3 hr even as of now.
About 25 min of YouTube and everything else is web browsing and using Relay Pro (reddit app).
Feels disappointing. I wonder if we'll ever see 8.1, which has more battery life optimization. My bet is never.

My wife's T-Mobile G6 feels more laggy and chop on this new update.
Man I miss the old days of all carrier phones being able to root and ROM, I'd love install Lineage 15.1 on this phone.
Oh well, I'm happy as a clam on my Pixel 2 XL which is smooth as butter.

Updated my G6 yesterday. It became really smooth and lag-free, whereas on Nougat my G6 was constantly microstuttering. So far, I like the update.

THE BATTERY DRAIN HAS BEEN FIXED FOR ME. Go to settings >> storage >> internal storage >> Free up space. Then select everything, including the various cache memories and delete them!
It doesn't delete your data, just some temporary cached memory that's used for efficiency which really isn't all that important. My battery on-screen time used to be 3 hours after the Oreo update, but now it's been well over 6 since freeing up space.

Thanks, gonna give this a try.

Welp, that didn't work for me this drain is crazy getting tops 2 hrs of SOT. I've read on the net that resetting it to factory helped for some any confirmation on this?

I found the culprit which was Fitbit. I deleted the app and I'm at 4hrs SOT with 65% left. Will reinstall the app tomorrow and see how it goes.

Bad news the Oreo update broke my BT with my car head unit. It was working well enough with 7.0 but 8.0 causes the audio to cut in and out about every 2-4 seconds. My other phones playing the same content perfectly without any issues. I haven't factory reset the G6 yet, but BT on this phone never worked well with my car head unit. It does work flawlessly with my Sony WH-1000XM2.

Mine is exactly the opposite. Slow, laggy, awful experience.
I HATE LG's ROMs. Just way, WAY too stuffed with bloatware.

Android Auto is broken. It won't connect to my car.
This phone is brand new to me, I just got it as a certified refurb from Amazon. This is very disappointing to me, since I used it daily with my last phone.

T-Mobile has Finally released the Android 11 Updgrade for OnePlus 8 5G

The wait is OVER! T-Mobile OnePlus 8 5G Android 11 update has been released (well to select few with issues for sure). This is not official but I can confirm that I do infact have it. No root. Yes I am unlocked and came from Sprint but that played no part in the Update I received.

Go ahead and check now. I was a former Sprint - Tmobile Failed TNX Transfer. After months of being told complete nonsense, they proactively called me, troubleshot and without notice I checked again and there it was. This could be a TS Procedure, however, see attached Screenshots and I believe everyone will see it Feb 2-4th. My experience as one of the initial transfers has been anything but smooth. However, I commend their Customer Service and their Tech SUpport for owning the issue and this may have saved me as a customer. Mind you I will absolutely not buy from them again, however, I will sell this oneplus 8 5g that is unlocked for the 8t/8Pro or 9 Pro unlocked and stick with them for the outstanding customer service!

AOD doesn't have the all day function like global does, modem cant switch from 5g to 4g without a reboot or airplane mode toggle, wifi calling works when if "feels" like it.

@esjames so just to confirm are you saying that you're having issues with the automatic transition from 5G to 4G or vice versa? Cuz that would be a very big problem for me especially since I am 99% of my time on my home Wi-Fi and have been missing calls ever since doing the upgrade. Can you confirm that if I do do a global conversion will that result in error and if so do you happen to have a guide on how to convert from Android 11?
Thank you in advance.

It doesn't appear to have AOD? that's the one feature I wanted. Ugh

I went and got the iphone 12 pro yesterday, and yes "all day" aod isnt there and 4g-5g switching works only sometimes. Got tired of it dropping signal. Global firmware doesnt have stand alone 5g but at least it didnt drop signal.

Missing features aside (it seems several releases back from what I'm seeing in OnePlus' forums, where several devices are on 11.0.3.3 and 11.0.5 is in beta testing) how is it overall? Stability, battery life, Android Auto, etc?

Most says beta 5 is more stable than the stable release. The global release is pretty good. Battery life kinda sucks though

Are you guys having issues with YouTube and twitch mini screen hiding on the bottom of the screen and not appearing on recent apps?

I just updated. I hope I don't regret this

I'm not too thrilled with the update. Very laggy and buggy, wiped cashed data and it seems to have helped.... Slightly. Missing some text after a little while I'll get 3-4 all at the same time. I'm going to unlock and throw rhe international version on it very soon.

My first test of Android Auto in the truck was not great. At first everything seemed fine, but it got extremely slow after checking out 3 or 4 apps. I'll clear cache on related apps and see if that helps. The phone itself has been fine so far.

So first real test of Google navigation on AA today, and it wasn't good. When I searched for a place and selected directions, it showed three options, but the routes were not highlighted on the selection screen or while navigating, no matter how many times I closed the app and re-did the search. Finally I gave up and used Waze, which worked fine. I tried Google Maps again partway through, and that time it showed the route, but I cancelled it. When I got where I was going and unplugged the phone, it was very warm and there was a temperature warning - actually it said device temperature was back to the safe range. It's never done that before. Also the phone still had a persistent navigation notification shown that didn't want to go away. I am really disappointed right now. Normally I would also stream music while navigating, but didn't this time, and it still made the phone really warm on top of the other issues.

I don't care for the update either. Has crazy lag with screen transitions. Android Auto works fine for me. Freezes up when phone screen is left on. Turn off phone screen and android auto is responsive again. Did notice the missing navigation route issue once or twice. Forgot how I solved it but it's working now.
Otherwise just got the update yesterday. I will also say I think the maps issue is the actual maps app. Mine did it on android 10 not 11.
Also keyboard has round corners now?

Ever since I've updated there has been a problem with texting and I'm hoping someone might have an answer.
After I updated I noticed I could receive group text but my one on one text don't arrive (and I have timed it 15 20 minutes later.
I tried different texting apps (I use Textra) but nothing changed.
I did a factory reset and nothing changed
I called T Mobile and replaced sim card and after talking to technicians - nothing changed
I've changed settings and texting apps again - nothing changed.
Can anyone help?
I cannot get one on one text or app verification codes quick enough to install certain apps but I can still receive group maeesages quickly.

Am I the only one have trouble connecting in FlashMode? No matter what I've tried, debugging on, debugging off, the "Adb devices" command doesn't see a da** thing. I could've sworn I had connect to this phone with the android 10 version.
BTW, I had to laugh, 'cause it took me a minute to find the Flashmode option in the new Power menu. They sort of hid it.
Just wondering because I've been trying all afternoon. Probably just something stupid I'm doing but I gotta get this going so I can debloat thing. This rom is so loaded with bloatware, it's crazy. After I got finished paring down all the Sprint apps that were on my LG V50 it weighed about 5lb less and this one's is way worse.

nope. just february patch with bug fixes.

Still no AOD, pathetic. Who do we complain to - Tmobile or OnePlus?

Things have been better since I cleared the cache from the recovery menu. I don't remember the phone charging at only 1A in the car before. Seems to be the same whether I use Android Auto through the radio's USB port or my car charger. I guess the OnePlus 8 doesn't support Quickcharge?
