Moto G4 plus battery drain rate increased after nougat. - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Brothers, on marshmallow, while using music, whatsapp, messenger & occasional browsing for an hour my battery would lose 13-14% charge. A week ago i updated to nougat. And now my battery drains 16% in 58 minutes while using messenger & whatsapp only. And moreover after 30%, on marshmallow, battery drain rate was 1% in 3-4 minutes. Now it is 1% per 2 minutes.

I have noticed the same. I notice that my standby draining is much more.

I have exactly the opposite. Much better standby drain than MM. full charge lasts upto 40 to 48 hours.

The comments on GSM Arena show battery drain on Nougat is common issue.

I switched off the bluetooth and now my battery life is better. I have a xiaomi mi band 2 that's why i used bluetooth on my device.
Sorry bad english

Nope battery drainage is same in my handset but turbocharging is slightly affected.

Any solution to it?

Battery overnight

7% of battery overnight.
Wifi, 3G, google now and side clock on.
Is this normal?
Standby Cell=2% (5h on time)
Android OS =1% (13m cpu)
Standby Device = 1% (4m cpu, 28m active)
I too loose between 5-7% overnight (8 Hours). Although the battery life of Edge+ is pretty good while in use, I have noticed that standby of the device isn't as impressive as earlier Note variants (Yes, I'm comparing with Note series).
WiFi - ON
Auto Sync - ON
2-3 Apps with Notification ON
Samsung Pay on Screen Off - ON

Your CPU seems to be idle 95% of the time! I never checked mine but yes, mine drops that much too! I don't think that's a rare case with this phone!
Ok so it is good right?
Then why it drains so much overnight?
Depinding on my signal strenght ,i saw -10% overnight ,ok maybe i slept like 10 hrs insted of 7-8 but still . Battery info said that the juice went to Cell signal standby or something like that.

yep, same here... so maybe it depends on the strength and quality of cell signal..
will test in the next days...
I am sure it cannot be any samsung app/service as I have disable 200 of them with package disabler pro
also, location/3g/wifi/sync/googlenow always on is the same setup I had on OnePlus One, that was using barely .5% per hour
it also true that on the OnePlusOne I could also turn off the notification light during night, while with this I cannot so it could happen that the light keeps on flashing for 5 hours, draining battery
also, I have edge clock on at night, still some drining...
I thought the deep sleep or idle drain was caused by lollipop, no? I lose over 10% from a 7hr sleep, even if I turn the WiFi off. WiFi eats up a lot of my battery for some reason, and I know my connection was good too.

It's been 5 nights and I confirm it drains 1% per hour.
This is my usage really bad...
8% in 6h
Night clock on
Wi-Fi on
4G on
Sync on
I received 5 emails so notification light has been blinking for almost 5h
Don't understand, cos stats are not that bad...
Think yourself lucky. I'm losing 50% overnight.
Battery life impressive during the day though

I solved my problem: night watch...
With night watch on I lose 1% per hour at night, with night watch off I lose 2% in 6h
I was consistently losing 2%-3% per hour overnight. But once I found an overactive app (Plume) and changed from instant notifications to 30 minute polling, my battery life has drastically improved. I've also used Package Disabler to disable bloatware on my device.
The past couple days my battery has been around 97% - 98% when I wake up in the morning.

[Question] How battery life really is on marshmellow?

hello,
i ordered a moto x play two days ago and i will get my device today or tomorrow. Now i am not sure if i should upgrade to marshmallow. Regarding to some posts here the battery life seems to suffer from the update. Is this true? Do you have the same battery life with 6.0 as with 5.1.1 ? For me battery life is kind of crucial. I chose the moto because of the good battery.
I'd love to know your opinion.
Thanx in advance.
Battery life seemed a bit lower on 6.0 than on Lollipop for a few days. Now, it's stabilized, and I'd say it's almost as good

No the battery performance hasn't gone down but has instead remained same or been better now.

It's been great for me. 7-8 hrs sot with stock kernel and now on track to get 10 with Squid kernel.
I get 10+ hours SOT . With stock mm.. dual sim and mobile data.
I usually play around with the autostarts app and titanium backup. I guess, i can root my device and i will then be able to optimize the phone i like with these tools.
Thanx for your answers. I still would like to get some more votes.
regards.
I think the only difference MM can make will be due to optimizing certain apps. Its sucha shame that google play services cant be optimized. I am finding its better than LP.
Offtopic - I had a S5 (g900h) with LP 5.0.1 stock and samsung had this optimization option which lead to an awesome battery life. This is why I believe that can be the only thing which can make it better
It depends on your usecase. If you are constantly on the phone, they won't differ much. If your phone is screen-off most of the time, Marshmallows Doze mechanism can save you a ton of battery life (assumping you jumpstart it with Naptime or similar). It could possibly be matched or even overcome if you REALLY fine tune a lollipop setup with Amplify, but from a technical standpoint doze is far better, because the OS controls when the device wakes up, not the apps themselves. Also, the most recent (best?) kernels will only be for MM.
Battery drains during standby mode. Overnight battery drops upto 3-5 % is it normal? I am on 5.1.1

2-3-4% is expected for 10 hour . see if location and wifi are turned on in advanced setting. it depends on the apps you are running. post screenshot.

That's absolutely great.
It means if 4 percent decreases in 8 hours it's about 1 percent in 2 hours. Me too has same result although in between 8 hours I took a 3 minute call and my alarm rung.

Standby Battery Drain

I've had the phone just a week and if I am using heavy then the battery is pretty good, lasts 4 hours plus. Better than my G5.
However, if I am barely using and only sending the occasional WhatsApp and not much else, then the battery doesn't seem to last as long, for example it drained to 50% today with very little use, only 1 hour of SOT. Wifi and location were on, but Bluetooth off.
I've taken some screenshots of battery stars with gSam. Could someone help me decipher what is causing the drain? Or if this is normal behaviour?
Everyone is saying that this phone has amazing standby battery life because of 7.0, Doze, etc. So I am confused!

Looks like you have something running in The background keeping it from falling into deep sleep which is why. Unfortunately I suck @ troubleshooting these kinds of scenarios. My guess would be a Google service of some type. My brother had a problem with Gmail one time that was draining his battery while the phone was in sleep

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the HTC U11+'s battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I have terrible standby drain, basically the phone never truly sleeps, it is kept awake on a low CPU frequency by Kernel (Android OS).
This is what I see in GSam, and I lose 20% battery over one night (8 hours).
This is why my battery life is somewhat 4 h SOT over 24 hours.
And I think this device should be capable of double that, maybe 7 h SOT over 24 hours.
Anybody else see this king of behaviour ?
I had same problem with my U11+
I reset application preferences and now the smartphone seems to go into deep sleep (Doze)
Had pretty bad standby battery drain recently on my U11+ and did 2 things that seemed to have fixed it.
1) Cleared cache on HTC Doze
2) Ram Boost+ for the first time and then enabled Smart Boost
Did these ard 12hrs ago and standby drain seemed to have improved a lot. Will report in a few days to let you guys know if it's really fixed for me or not.

Is a known issue and HTC is already working on it.
So far, they recommend to reboot the phone every 1-2 days to prevent this.
Reboot everyday !?!
It's a boring solution... and not the solution for my problem.

It is the workaround HTC recommended until they release the update with the fix.
I'm not having any standby drain even without rebooting my phone.

You have 3,5 hours of SOT from 29% battery ?, and with 11 hours off the carger.
At this rate you will get more that 10 hours of SOT.
This seems almost unreal to me... I don't even have half of that, with medium use...
Please share more... settings, apps, how do you do it ?

Battery drain
This is my situation, with the last software update! 6 hours awake screen off!
I've only disabled Bluetooth, so no more connection to Android Wear watch... Zero issues with sleep now, two full days easily done.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Minor battery drain in note 5 pro
I have noticed 5-6% battery drop in idle 8-9 hours which i feel is on much higher side from nougat viewpoint.
I had lineage OS 7.1.2 in redmi note 3 previously and battery drain was only upto 1-2% overnight.
Well, even I've experienced a 5% of battery drain overnight. May be it's the issue with the stock kernel. Guess it'll be fixed soon by Xiaomi else a custom kernel will do the job.
Im using redmi nite 5 pro 6 gb variant. Im a moderate user and I face a heavy standby drain. It drains 5% while I use it just for watching videos in 15-20 minutes. Kindly reply if you face the same problem
I am on redmi Note 5 Pro 6 GB variant
Night time battery drain is as you mentioned shamefull
5-10%
And even with Battery Scene as sleeping the drain is not limited much (~5-7%)
rooting phone and coustom recovery affect the battery life of xiaome redmi note 5 pro
i notice like 6 % battery dranage overnight in sleep mode
Has anybody tried Greenify with "Aggressive Doze" and "Doze on the go" enabled?
I had 8% battery drain on wifi on idle for 6 hours. I would call it a fair.
I charge my phone once a day in the evening when in decreases to 20%, not exceeding above 80% takes me about 1 hour.
I have the global version phone, miui V9.5.6.0, I went to sleep with 80% battery, woke up with 79%.

Same for me. Wifi, GPS, data and bluetooth ON. Overnight mine drains 1-2%. Quite impressive
Mines draining quite a bit. I'm on the s636 Note 5 Global. Not sure if it's WhatsApp or Google etc causing it. I'm tempted to do a hard reset and see. I'm on MIUI 9.5.6.0 are there any guides on how to optimize the ROM? With light use I'm getting 1 day+ down to 40% but was expecting it to be better as I can see others have done so too.
