[Q] Help With Battery Drain

In the past week or so, I've noticed that my battery is draining unusually fast. I will take the phone to bed with me (I use it as an alarm clock) at 100% battery and I can wake up 7 hours later with it at 82%. When I look at my battery information, I see steady, solid drain over that time, with the biggest offender being Google Services. When I look in Wakelock Detector, I see the most usage (though seemingly not a ton) by Android System.
I found some tips on using Wakelock Terminator in Xposed to filter some things from Google Play Services from triggering wakelock, and I was optimistic, but it didn't seem to help.
Any advice?

Are you on a stock rom? Did you try greenify? It's on the play store. It kills the apps background services and the app itself until you start the app or the app is started by another app or service. Soon as the app os no longer needed it is turn back off. This program does not freeze apps it prevents them from running until needed.

Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned my rom and such. I'm running ForceROM, a relatively older version (maybe 2.3?), since I never felt the need to update.
I haven't tried Greenify. Haven't actually heard of that one before. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip.

Try a custom kernel like KToonsez in addition to Greenify. It's amazing what you can end up doing with that kernel

ForceROM includes Ktoonsez kernel. For the last 8 months or so, I've had great battery life. This is a sudden and recent change, which I'm assuming to be caused by an update of some Google app (such as Play Services).
How do I use Greenify? Or do I just install it and it does magic?

Do you have auto-sync enabled? What Google Services do you have enabled for sync? I used to have a similar issue but turning off sync for things I don't use (like newsstand, etc) helped my battery life a lot.

I believe that installing Greenify might have done it. Battery usage looks much better today. I'll do a real test tonight when I get it charged to 100% before bed.

Well, I'll be...
I think that the problem is wifi. When I'm at home, I'm on wifi, and the battery is constantly draining. When I'm not at home, and on mobile data, the battery is well-behaved.
What's up with that?

Are you using Google's keyboard?

Some apps can be setup to sync over WiFi only instead of 3G/4G data. but you have to check what apps would be the culprit. I know Google play, dropbox's picture upload feature can be set to download/upload/update over WiFi instead of data. But the only way to know is to see what apps connect over WiFi.
WiFi is suppose to give you better battery life since its signal is usually nearby and your phone doesn't have to use more power to find a better signal like it does with 3g/4g. I know for me it does since there are very few towers in the middle of the dessert.

No, I use Swiftkey.
So, interesting twist to this saga. Leaving wifi off takes away the solid blue bar on the battery screen, but I still see the same level of battery drain (about 18% overnight). Very intriguing.

Agreed

Agreed helps a lot when charging phone. May get a lil glitchy if you run it on every app.

Sounds like you're losing power to things syncing over wifi. Maybe try just giving it a week and watching it to see if it settles down. Google play sometimes settles down on its own. I also vote to check out greenify. With the donation package you can work wonders at calming down power hungry apps, even system apps.

My situation has suddenly taken a turn for the much worse. I don't know what's going on. I haven't added anything new or changed any settings since installing Greenify a while back. Now, the battery is just tanking. I got up to 100%, ran Battery Calibration and now, about 2.5 hours later, I'm at 82%. Could this just be a problem with the battery itself? Do I need to replace it?

Are you on MJA?

Honestly there are a few days where the battery life suddenly drops dramatically. I've experienced this on unrooted mf9, mk2, and nae. Give it some time and see if battery life comes back up. You can reboot the phone to kill a rouge app that might be the cause.

This is the first I've heard the term MJA, so I don't think I'm on that.
There definitely do seem to be days where battery is worse than others. And I do typically try to reboot when I see it acting too squirrelly. I'll just keep keeping an eye on it. Weird-ass phone...

Help me understand my battery

Nexus 6p running 7.1.1 beta. Rooted, but running stock ROM and kernel. Only modifications are Pixel launcher and Google Assistant. Brightness at 10-15%. Wi-Fi is on while the screen is on only, but Bluetooth and mobile data are always off. Location services are set to battery saving. Screen timeout set to 30 seconds. Adaptive brightness and ambient display is off. I'm only getting 3hrs SOT, but standby time is great. Only watch one hour of YouTube altogether and use social media often. Is this good or is there something wrong with my battery? ?

Tried that and wiped the cache partition. No luck. I'm pretty sure it's poor optimization on Nougat. Hopefully Google will fix it.

Even i was on stock Nougat for a long time...but i didnt face such issues yet. Infact i think Nougat optimizes better than Marshmallow. As battery backup has substantially increased...a bit.

I get 4 hrs of SOT
Average use daily is checking e-mails - checking Facebook and Twitter - Youtube and Music streaming - no games.... Sometimes, it drains without even doing that and I barely pass a day without charging it.....
PS:
The Screen on time is inconsistent as it might be just 2 hrs or 3 hrs and it would be consumed completely!
Is there a ROM or an app or anything that can help me get better SOT?
Thanks and apologies for the message, I now know that it was unnecessary.

Make sure you let it run for a couple full cycles and you have to read it correctly. You can't get useful stats the minute you install it because it needs to run through full cycles while charging and unplugged, as it can only provide information for the time it's been installed. The longer you run it, the more accurate it is. Second, the App Usage stat is a percentage of the percentage of battery used. So if your battery is at 70% when you look at app usage and it says those things used 57% of the battery, that's 57% of the 30% used to that point.
You also need to look at the Held Awake stats because that will tell you what, if any, processes are keeping your phone awake and thus contributing to drain.
I have found that the system in Nougat does tend to use more battery than it did in MM. However, doze implementation is better and it deep sleeps more and does a better job of saving battery. In fact since Nougat, I've stopped using Greenify because it actually seemed to make my battery worse. Since I've been on Nougat I get well over a day on a charge with about 5-5:30 SoT. However, battery also comes down to what ROM and kernel you use and how much you do processor and screen intensive tasks. Music streaming doesn't tend to use much battery, but if you spend a lot of time web surfing, Youtube and games, you'll cook your battery no matter what. If you use the Facebook app, nothing you can do will help as it's a dreadful battery suck.

Here are the numbers provided by the GSam App
Are these numbers good or bad?
The average use gets me through the day but if I use it heavily, it would last 3hrs max.

Just 1 hour of screen on time with a little bit of Twitter, 62%.
What to do? The battery drain is just CRAZY.
The device is disconnected since 6:30, now it's around 12:15.

There is other stuff that drains battery excluded from that list. Facebook-things is one of those and it drains heavy battery. If you can live without this "social spyware" - disable the app!

I don't think so, the battery drain started before just one week.

The latest marshmallow update has screwed around with my s7 edge too, heavy drain etc. I reverted back to the previous build (download the correct one from SamMobile and flash it) and battery was back to normal.
Before doing that, try cache wipe from stock recovery. This cna help in some cases.
Now I've flashed the nougat beta and battery life is great again.

The problem is your router
Can you see if access in deep sleep?
Test with CPU Spy

If it was this bad for me I would just factory reset it dude and wipe the cache.

downgrading from nougat to marshmallow

hey all
ive read that many people had problems with their battery lives since the update to nougat. i installed one custom rom (RR) on nougat on my nexus 6p but then due to the inexistence of xposed framework decided to downgrade to marshmallow again (same rom RR). my problem is that ever since i did that, my battery life even on MM is severely bad (as soon as unplugged from charger, battery starts to drain, even after a clean flash, and moreover when phone reaches 15%-10%, phone turns off on its own with battery dead notification)
am just wondering if any nougat residue files still exist somewhere that i can just get rid off somehow though i wiped device fully(including internal)
and if not, what other options do i have? am suffering with the battery life, big time
thanks

There is nothing left over after a wipe and flash
Make sure battery saver auto shutdown is off.
It may take a day or two for the battery to be normal after a flash.
Charge to 100% the let the battery drain o shut down.

What do you even get with xposed though? I know there's amplify but there's something called wakeblock on nougat which is very similar. It only works on stock rom or custom but you'd have to integrate the patch file with git into the custom ROM which includes making a build of Android through linux in terminal.

Huawei are bsing you and are obviously too greedy with money to give you a replacement. With the app mods you can basically get the same stuff anyway with modified apks.

None of that seems worth staying on marshmallow. That mod doesn't even seem useful and I'm sure there's a modified apk that can do that without xposed.

Nougat is great there's modified apks for basically any xposed mod and xposed will be out eventually and I know it will probably be hard to leave it but I have forgotten about it. The custom ROM and kernel I use get me 6-7 hours sot too and because apps install with jit they install quicker. There are also other benefits like speed performance, layout like settings and custom ROMs aren't really supporting marshmallow anymore for nexus 6p and there's other things too like more mods like Google Assistant is as simple as flashing a zip or changing and adding to the build.prop etc etc

Here's the screenshots you asked for in pm

I've got 7.1.1
But battery still dies fast as soon as off the charge. Am using RR latest build and kernvatore kernel. Also at 20% dies suddenly. Did the battery calibration as well

I too love me some xposed modules! I've been on Nougat since the initial release so I've been missing xposed for quite sometime. I have faith that xposed will be released for N eventually...
As far as battery on nougat, I was able to make it a little better by turning off all my sync settings from google. I also installed better battery stats and came to find out that Facebook and its messenger app never like to go to sleep and drained the hell out of my battery. Greenify app fixed that issue for me.

Horrible battery drain on s7 edge nougat. Attached battery status from BetterBatteryS

Hi guys, really need some help on this.
After upgrading to nougat on my Su edge intl ver (exynos) SM-G935FD.
The battery has been horrible. From what I see in BBS it's always awake and running on max CPU state. Attached the ss... Please help me.
I've tried the following:
Clear cache using recovery mode
Cleared permissions
Disable Google play services (causing many other Google apps to fail so I enabled it)
Turning off wifi and location
Using data saver
Using battery optimisation
Using greenify
Tried the above methods solo, or a combination, all which failed to help.
From what I see Samsung pay is causing the problem. How do I solve this? It's an integral part of my life (really convenient). Thanks all in advance!

I have tried disabling apps like Facebook, messenger, Instagram, etc but no avail. Permissions method also tried. Reset all settings tried too.
I'm only left with factory data reset which I'm unwilling becaue Samsung cloud doesn't seem to be working properly.

I have the same problem too. I noticed that after the Nougat update my phone started to live twice shorter after recharging (1 day instead of 2). Couple of days ago I installed AccuBattery app which shows me that my phone lost almost 25% of its battery capacity :/ Don't know what to do. I am curious if I can ask for a battery replacement from Samsung service (warranty) or not.

Well I haven't tried any of the battery monitoring apps, but after the Nougat update my S7E shows me 15 hours and 5 minutes remaining right after unplugging from a wall charger.

well batterys have a capacity, there are number of charge cycle after which the battery doesnt stay healthy and the backup gets short..... After nougat upadate I have noticed battery drains but not that aggressive like yours.. You can factory reset you phone once and chk if samsung pay is still sucking battery...

Not very accurate. It is based on current usage. Use gsam or betterbatterystats to get an accurate read on your battery usage.

yes give it a try..

The latest update also reduced the battery life of my phone. I did a factory reset and things have improved, but still less overall battery life compared to the old firmware, might revert back to it.

Did you try using custom rom?
On rom that i using battery life is amazing
?

you might be needing to root for going back, good to see FDR made things better..

Wow, seriously? I thought reverting was easy as flashing through odin? I used to do that all the time.

That's just bad news :/
It's like ppl developing the os for Samsung are tech illiterate...

Try this. Charge your phone after disabling fast charge. I.e charge it in normal mode.
I have seen that the baterry lasts much longer this way.

It is possible, but might interfere with the rom's cache data and i don't think it will perform better because of that. So a factory reset is usually needed when reverting.

I'm going to try reverting tomorrow, will see if it happens and post here if successful.

My phone has been charged both ways before and the resulting battery life is the same.

Looking forward to your update! Best of luck!

Well, successfully reverted to older version, looking forward to better battery life. Used Drodviews.com for firmware files and Odin V 3.12
