The battery of my Oneplus 5 device is exhausted very quickly. Even if I never used it, it was running out in 4 5 hours. I installed a new battery, but still the same way. It exhausting very quickly . What is the reason for this, guys? please help.
I'm with you bro. i've changed my battery 3 times (last i've payed about 40 dollars) but it still sucks. I got about 3 hours screen on time every day.

Dear All,
I don't know really what caused this big improvment but let me share it with you.
First of all I have a Samsung Focus with a standard battery bought it from the USA at 10-2010.
The phone before the NoDo update lasts for more than a day but less than 2 days with little use and with heavy use it lasts for less than a day , Let's say 18 hours or less.
Any way I got the Mango RTM installed without Chevron and at the first week the battery lasts for 1 Day and 18 hours as per the Battery saver indicator.
4 days ago I forgot the phone plugged in for 10 hours and when I removed it the battery said that it will last 3 day and 18 hours?????
I said what the hell?
I thought it was a bad indication and removed the battery and replugged it again and yet it said that it will last for 3 days and 18 hours.
Now I passed the 3 days and 18 hours of using the phone (very little usage just a couple of calls or so) and I still have 10 percent left?
Any explanations of this weird but good behavior ???
I don't think you'll get any
But I'd say enjoy the ride and post back if it happens again. If that happens, please take snaps of your battery and charger and post here.
Also, you didn't mention if you were using GPRS/Wifi or any data connection in the 3+ day period. That affects the battery a lot. Per example, I am on Mango B1 (7661) and I'm getting 1 day and 12h with GPRS on and about 2 days+ with no data connections at all and litttle use (probably close to 3 days). Regardless of the battery projection.
used wifi to sync e-mails for 10 minutes and a couple or more calls not more than 10 minutes also with no GPRS , 3g or so ever.
But that's really something I can't understand it was one day half the battery that I have now...
I will post screen shots after trying again (If I remember to ).
Thanks.
Where do I find something that actually tells me how many days or hrs. I have on a fully charged battery? I was wondering where that was...
On Mango only not any previous OS versions:
Go to Setting then Battery Saver you will see how long is left till you need to recharge.
On any Mango version, in settings you can check the battery status.
Pre Mango you can use a homebrew Battery Meter or read about it.
Thank you for that. Hopefully I'll have Mango in a couple of days...
What kind of battery life are you guys getting?
I was getting really bad battery life, barely getting 4 hours screen on time(100-2%). Well now that I've had the phone for a week, it seems to have settled. Today I'm going to break the 7 screen on time barrier(100-2%)! I think this is great! This is with auto brightness set around 40% I think. I dont understand the auto brightness.
This battery life thing was KILLING me. I was ready to return the phone if it didn't improve. Well the battery has settled and the improvement is almost doubled!! Once I hit 2% I'll screen shot and post!
Here's the pics!
I have to say this. Even without root or an unlocked bootloader. I'm pretty satisfied with this device. The last android I used was an S5 and this little guy is like it, on steroids! Out of any androids I've had the S5 was the only phone I kept for longer then 6 months. I had it for 14 months. I hope to do the same with this phone. Though with a locked bootloader. I dont know if that will happen. I think if this device was unlocked and undervolted. We could get another hour of screen on time out of her atleast. We'd atleast figure out wth is going on with Android systems and put a stop to it!
Any one care to comment?
I love it so far using my s7 since February 29.
Finally got my s7

Sure... Here they are.
Have you tried disabling any of the bloat ware?

Yea, over 100 packages disabled. I have also gone through a warranty replacement. Some others suggested debloating could hurt battery so I even tried adding it all back but recently removed it all again.
Is anyone who is getting great battery life using a gear s2? Only thing I can think of
I am not getting much over 4 hrs screen time.
I was getting 4 hours as well. I dunno. Im consistently getting 6 hours atleast. Well... My phone better then yours ?
At first i was getting 5 hours sot, I debloated and a week later it's constantly at 6:30 SOT. Used package disabler pro from app store, the made debloat packages thats on the app. Great phone by the way. I gave up the note4 and don't regret for a second. I still have the note and every time I pick it up put right back down and immediately go back to s7
The new update seems to have helped with the android system destroying the battery. Normal when I get home from work im at 61-65% I'm at 73% right now with 2 hours 22 minutes screen on time
No improvement here I don't think. 4 hours off the charger, 20 min calls and 20 min SOT, 88%. Android system and OS are lower but still high
Your usage really matters here. I have a buddy who got this phone same say and he is about to hit 2 full days with 5:30 screen on time. Which I think it's pretty dam good. Phone sleeps well. My usage is different and I get 5:30 hours but only 1 full dy (24 hrs) consistent

I'm seeing better than expected battery life, averaging between 4 to 6 hours SOT. I will say this, what's odd is it goes from 100 to say 85 percent pretty quick and then it's a slow drain. I haven't even got it down below 10 percent yet.

Interesting observation, I get to 85% really quickly (i.e., in 30 minutes SOT).

From 100 to 97 in 17 minutes. If I leave the phone alone it will say 12 hours to 1.5 days. I could just get a new phone but I like my pure too much. Is it worth the replacement?
Hard to say, that information you showing means nothing... Knowing what a battery does in the first few minutes isn't really important...
Run it down to at least 20% a few times, with GSAM installed, and look at it again.
Will a new battery help? If you can find a good quality new one, which is purely hit and miss, and there are no "new" ones, all of the batteries out there were made 2-3 years ago.
Hello,
my uncle just bought me a brand new genuine Redmi note 7, I opened the box and turned the phone on.. I noticed that the battery was at 66%, I set up the phone which took a minute or less and that's when I was about to connect it to my wifi BUT then I notice that the battery is 63% ALREADY.. Now knowing that the phone has a 4000mah battery I was beyond shocked too see a 3% drain with low brightness and just 1 minute of light use literally no SIM or internet was being used.. so I turned it off and charged it to the max.. After that I turned the phone back on to update miui.. I connected the phone to my wifi and started updating to the last version.. available from the updater.. it took less than 10 minutes.. and guess what I see? 100% to 89% in less than 10 minutes that's crazy.. I bought this phone because of this guy w ww. youtube. com/watch?v=3gaWbx2x06s as we can see in the video he gets almost 8 hours of SOT with full brightness wifi and youtube FHD... right now I'm doing the same experiment and adding battery saver setting and my battery is draining fast I'd be surprised if I got 4 hours of sot... I don't understand... what's wrong? The phone is new and genuine since I verified the imei.. Thank you.

I believe every phone does the same thing like that when you configure them for the very first time. Full brightness, wifi scanning, mobile data ON, GPS ON, sync ON for a few minutes can consume lots of battery.
My advice is to fully set up your phone with all the apps you want and turn off any features you don't use. Use and recharge your phone normally for a few days. Check for battery consumption stats using native graphs or popular battery tracking apps. Analyze graphs and stats and draw the conclusions yourself. (Don't trust everything people say on YouTube, trust your own experience.)
In the worst scenario, you can always return your phone within 7 days of purchase. I hope you don't have to! :fingers-crossed:
My brand new redmi note 7 is a little fast draining right now too which is a little disappointing but my redmi note 5 was also the same fast draining when I first purchased it and it improved so I really hope this redmi note 7 does the same and improves.
I have both phones side by side right now so I can kind of compare usage

Yeah even my mediatek redmi note 4 didn't drain like this.. now when it gets to 15% it just discharges completely.
One thing I will mention is facial recognition. It could possibly drain the battery faster so I have just turned it off for testing purposes. I need to see what difference it makes but that's really the only difference between my two redmi phones 5 & 7.
Any new phone battery will take a few charge/drain cycles until it is calibrated correctly.
Use it for a while and see if the battery settles down.
Also different countries have different mobile systems. This will also affect battery life as the phone needs to continually scan for a signal....

30% brightness.. only wifi.

I know the post is old but I have the same problem ... I think we are so many to have it !!
I have a Note 7 for more than a month and it never went well ... I managed to do only 3 days but almost without using it, there are people who also do 4 or 5 days of use ...
Anyway if I use it it makes me amalapena 1 day ...
When I use the phone I see that it consumes my battery quickly even if I just navigate the phone menu.
I've already done at least 4 reset but it didn't help
I do not know what to do..
Did you solve the problem?
miui 11 could help?
Thanks
Imposible to do 4-5 days with this phone or any phone when u use it. Why do u have smartphone when u dont use it and u care about battery?
What version MIUI are you all using?
I'm still on 10.3.5 and battery life is great.
I average 9.5 hours SOT ( 2 days worth) with normal use and have got as high as just under 11 hours SOT a few times.
If you're not on 10.3.5, can you roll back?
I've heard of battery life issues after updating to the newer versions which is why I'm staying on this one until they work out the kinks
My battery life has improved since my earlier post just as I expected it to The note 5 does last a little longer when I put them side by side but they are both great phones and the batteries last for ages with normal daily use!
I barely use 50% with gaming (currently clash royale) social medias, spotify for around 2 hours and some other stuff plus I'm working 5 days a week so I don't get to see my phone for most of the day anyway

might be a dumb question but, how/when do you charge your phone ? do you wait for the battery to reach 0-10% and charge it back to 100%? or you do the 20% to 80% charge "cycle" ?
I try to charge my phones every night now when I go to bed, The note 5 & 7 are around 50% most days from useage and I charge them from around 8/9pm until I wake for work at 5am (Living the dream)

and what SOT do you get with the 50% usage ?
I am not sure, Because it almost never drops below 50% in a days usage I have stopped looking and worrying about battery life It just lasts and lasts for me.
However I will try and take notice over the next few days and report back if there is anything to report...
A couple of days ago I bought a second-hand G6 H870. The previous owner stated that he used the phone for about a year and then it had sat in his drawer for about 6 months until I bought it.
So far so good, it's a weird transition for me coming from EMUI of Huawei which I loved!
Anyway, the battery is ****! I lose about 10% battery after 40-50 mins of very light use, same percent after about 120 mins of standby... what gives?!
I've checked the power screen using the guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/ahqkp8/how_to_check_your_real_battery_health/
charge full: 2890000
battery cycles are around 1000
I've managed to "overcharge" it and got to around raw/full: 3400000/2890000, it then lasted a little longer...
Is there a way to calibrate the battery? To teach it, like a car's throttle?
Also, I went ahead and went through a SAAT Service Menu - Auto Test, TA wrong failed, what is that?? Edit: checked again, now it passed.. battery still **** though.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
