Anyone notice Facebook battery drain, well should I say abnormal drain. Using bbs it comes up as kernel keeping the device from going to deep sleep, but it's Facebook. If I'm on Facebook or was on Facebook and turn off phone it doesn't go into deep sleep at all, however if I clear Facebook from recents it goes into sleep immediatly. I can reproduce this every time. Have also reinstalled Facebook and cleared cache, to no avail. I'm familiar with other options so posts regarding that is useless. Just looking to see if anyone else has noticed or can reproduce the same behavior. Happens on stock and em kernel

Silly question, but have you restricted background battery usage for the Facebook app?
Uninstall Facebook = no privacy leaked, no wake up clock.

Yep, on any battery app, it was showing the kernel causing the drain, I had to literally watch the sleep times. If I closed it in recents it would be fine , but if I just turned off phone...drain

Mate you are opening a thread to talk about Facebook drain. This has been a thing since Facebook was released to Android. Old News. Uninstall or block Facebook. Easy as... It is not an hardware issue nor a software issue related with OnePlus.
Just saying.

I'm not talking about normal drain, I'm talking about fb preventing deep sleep, and I know it's not a hardware issue, the purpose of the thread was to maybe help someone who is wondering why they aren't getting good battery life, but I see the idea of helping someone may be foreign to you
Facebook does not have a normal drain. It has constant wake up clocks.

Ok so you just want to argue and I'll bite, what part of NO DEEP SLEEP are you not comprehending. At no it's not normal, even for Facebook
I understand everything that you are saying. Search on all device forums on XDA. EVERYONE has the same issue. Google is your friend.

There was no need to search as I saw what the problem was, and it only started happening after fb last update. Facebook has alot of wake ups but this is something different, and even when the app was closed my frequencies would be pegged. Just because you think you know and I know, doesn't me some random person may stroll across this and it be helpful to them
Did anyone try to disable battery optimisation for FB and test?

Just a heads up, with the new Facebook app my phone is not sleeping. When I log out of the app the phone does sleep when the screen is off. I'm running Baked Snack 1.1. I'm curious to see if it's just me, or if others are having the same issue.
Yep, I have noticed that as well. I mentioned it in the "There is a NEW FACEBOOK APP" (paraphrased) thread.
i installed it last night and this morning it i checked spare parts for partial wake items and facebook app was the highest, near 30%
i went into the facebook app and changed the update frequency; hopefully that'll fix it

Yeah when I reboot the phone it can go back to sleep, but if I log in to the Facebook app and back out it won't go back to sleep. Once I actually log out of Facebook the phone can sleep again.

Have you tried killing it in something like System Panel?
Just checked Autostarts, and Facebook isn't set to start on any occasion other than your account settings being changed and the widget updating. Of course I have the refresh for notifications off, but it should never start itself.

If you have the widget on a homescreen it just reloads the service in short order. That and you really shouldn't have to kill something like Facebook to keep it from causing sleep issues, I understand it on "chat" apps (eBuddy, etc.), but not in a periodically updated app like Facebook. Seems like a bug to me.

I was just seeing if it would stay off or if it was starting itself back up. I updated my post with its start permissions.

I figured that that was the case. For whatever reason, it wants to start itself though. I have my updates set to "never" and notifications set to "off" now (just had the updates set to never before, still had notifications set to "on") Charging right now, so I can't check my partial wakes, but will update to see if that makes any difference.
Killing the app doesn't work work for me. I have to sign out of the app for it to stop killing the battery.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Same problem here, if I reboot the phone it doesnt start and everything is fine, once i launch it the first time it will perpetually keep the phone from sleeping, BS1.1
just force closed it and removed the widget. it doesn't start up again either after doing all that. stupid thing.. i knew something was not right about my battery today.
I'm running CM6's latest nightly and i'm not having any issues like this with updated facebook app. I have refresh interval set at 1 hour with notifications active

go to spare parts and select "partial wake usage" in battery history. you'll notice the fb app has been on since you first checked it, keeping your phone from sleeping.

yea, it's funny though, i remember htc releasing an update that fixed battery issues with fb syncing. i wonder if it's something similar to that now, what with contact syncing enabled again. maybe i'll try it without contact syncing and see how it goes.

Hi folks,
I'm a developer at Facebook on the Android team. First off, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have identified the bug that is causing this battery drain and are working on a fix now. As soon as the patch is ready, we'll push out an update. Thanks for the quick feedback and for your patience as we get this fixed!
Thanks,

Ahh, good to know that official..
Good news. Looks like the fix is out version 1.3.1
I just downloaded it. Hopefully I'll have better battery life tomorrow.
Holy crap. Is that what is happening to my battery the last few days. ..
My battery had been exceptionally terrible the last 2 days as well
Noticed version 1.3.1 is out now
Update and save those batteries
I had backed up my last copy of FB. Now that the developers noticed the issue and released and update, so will I. Coo'

New update is still sucking my battery. Anyone got a link to the old version?
Edit: nevermind, you can just uninstall the updates by doing it in the market.

Do you have the widget on the home screen? Otherwise check about phone, battery info, what's been using the battery and if android os is real high, then Facebook is probably preventing the phone from sleeping.

I havent had any problems with the new update, but then again, my facebook 'sync' options have never been enabled. I think today facebook updated itself again
I don't do anything with Facebook, but I do have the updated app installed and logged in. About 30 friends, sync with contacts, and no battery drain at all. System panel shows only 5 seconds of CPU time used over the last 8 hours.
Well I skipped Facebook 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 because of the battery drain. Today installed 1.3.2 and in 53 minutes the Facebook app was good for 50 minutes of partial wake time.
(and this is with update notifications set to never, etc.)
Uninstalled....reverted back to 1.2 and now no more partial wake usage from the app!
Having installed 1.3.2 my partial wake time is only 14s since unplugged for Facebook. I've got it set to notify me for messages and friend requests, plus it syncs contacts already in the phone. That said never had issues on 1.3.1.
Does anyone has the version 1.2 apk saved somewhere ? I'm looking for it and I can't desinstall the updates unfortunately.
Thank you in advance!
Any hosting service would do the trick
I haven't had a single problem in a week out of Facebook, in fact only the first day of using 1.3.1.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049638
As far as I know, SNS stands for Social Networking Site.. Usually Google+ or Facebook. They need to sync from time to time and that's why they wake your phone from sleep.
This is my guess. Correct me if someone knows I am wrong.
I wake up with a blank lockscreen but when I go into Texta, Snapchat, Messenger, Inbox there are new things there.
I am using Greenify but those apps are not hibernated. Doze is on. Could that be it?

I've experienced that in my Gmail app.

Nor do I have any greenify app.. so far...
I'm leaning on thinking it's the Doze.
Yes it is. Have to go into the apps that I have to have notifications for and have them not be optimized. -Settings-Battery-Battery Optimization, then click whichever app I HAVE to have notifications for (Gmail, Hangouts, etc) and then make them not be optimized. I have never had this issue on any other phone so it must be OxygenOS. It will even get rid of notifications that have been showing. I have seen Gmail notifications disappear on many occasions as I am looking at the notification. I have searched the OnePlus forums and this apparently has been an issue in OOS for QUITE awhile. I am AMAZED it is still an issue. OOS even prevents my weather app from showing notifications initially until I go in and have the OS not optimize app. I use Today Weather. Again... BAFFLING that this is still an issue... And I have seen NO ONE until you mention it in this forum....

When I woke up and saw them missing for the 3rd day in a row, I did the same thing as you actually. I am also on xXx ROM. Maybe that's the reason? I didnt have this problem when I was flashing stock updates instead of the ROM updates for 4.5.x, etc.

Yeah i also facing that
Me too facing this issue, it drains more than 20% of the battery. Feeling like cheated after updating to 8.0
Yes me too facing same. Its basically Android System sometimes renamed rcs service.
But on nougat we were not facing this issue.
Any fixes.?
This is just a bug in the charts. not draining any battery. Same goes for Bluetooth did a test last night connecting the bt with 50% battery left and this morning the charts shows like 4000000 mAh obviously way more than the battery itself

There is some mess in stats, RCS contains many processes/packages, among them also Android system. This is why we don't see Android system anymore, but RCS instead. It must be fixed by Xiaomi.

RCS or Phone?
Icon shows RCS but app name is Phone.
Maybe both are part of same app but different services. If this is the case everyone has this problem or maybe its not a problem at all.
RCS stand for "Rich Communication service" wherein both calling parties are aware of each others presence and device capabilities etc. and your carrier shall also support this.
Factory reseted the phone and turned off app preview messages still rcs service is present.?
After turning off app preview messages RCS service is not longer present. Thanks buddy!!

I still think so, on mine phone, in Gsam battery, RCS Phone consumes the most battery and one of its packages is Android system. But you are right that RCS Service is gone and I don't have always running stock messaging app anymore (I'm using Textra due to nasty bug of stock messaging app when it doesn't show and store random incoming SMS messages).
This is a bug with Google play services. If you turn off background data for Android system it will start showing up as RCS service in battery usage instead of Android system. Looks more like a problem with Android 8.0. Google play services with same version on Android 7 is not causing as much battery drain.
Let's wait for Android 8.1 with Jan security patch.
Update to latest January patch. Android system is not draining as much battery now.
Problem turned out after march security update. I have tried to turn off app message preview but it doesn't work.
