Hello, there is a problem with the phone, the idle battery drain is too high, something is keeping it awake.
I've attached the screenshots of battery stats.
My mother is using the phone, so I don't have it with me all the time.
Any help is much appreciated!

Well Android system has lots of packages, check what packages are activated that includes ones in notification bar, GPS, NFC, Backup, Bluetooth, etc. They all absorb power at some point if they are always on it can drain the battery power. Also go to Settings / Autostart and check what packages are enabled to autostart.

This was with mobile data mostly disabled, and gps was not used heavily, as you can see from the screenshot.
I'll get back when I get more info.
Btw what I forgot to mention, the phone is brand new, like it was freshly set up a couple of days ago, and the baterry was bad since the first day.
She doesn't have a lot of apps, so it's really weird to see this battery drain.
What should I be looking for in the autostart settings?

It says Android system 34% that is too much, if you click on Android system it will list you the services and more info on power drain. For example on my device Android system does not go higher 15% usually, I have disabled autostart for the apps and services I don't really need to be running in background.
You can debloat the ROM by using xiaomi adb tools, no root needed. Then I believe battery will be much better. Search the thread in the forum
it's here, the second post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/debloating-mi-9t-t3958145
Also turn sync apps off automaticly.

Yes, I've seen that it lists all the processes under Android system, but that didn't mean much, because there's a lot of them and it doesn't specify what drains the battery the most or any other details.

Perhaps the sync is on, and that might be what's causing the drain, I'll look into it.
Speaking of debloating, is there a fail safe of some kind? If something goes wrong, would a factory reset bring back the disabled/removed modules?
Thanks to both of you for the help.
I'll see if any of that fixes the issue.

I think the program list only the apps that are safe to debloat and also it just disable so choose the one you don't like and leave the ones you are not sure about and if you want to know about them Google is you best friend
i have this issue as well and i think it appeared when i started using chinese vendor

Factory reset would bring everything back of course but not necessary. The debloat app will bring everything back if you need. You can read many people wrote that it fixed their battery drain issue.

I haven't updated my Xiaomi Mi 9T yet to MIUI 11. And I don't have any problem with the battery on MIUI 10. Should I wait until this bug is patched to get the update ?

It's hardly a bug you just have to manually configure the apps that you want to autostart in background.

I would definately wait. Since MIUI 11 both my wifes and my own phone have massive drain issues. They work fine for days and all of a sudden they fully drain within a few hours without noticing any app really doing anything.
Mine is more or less fully debloated and my wifes is not but has only a few apps.
I think there is really something wrong with the update.

You know nothing. Is a major bug. Was present in miui 10 and is worse in miui 11.
So is debloat necessary again after updating to MIUI 11 (I disabled the apps, didn't remove them)?
Same finding here
(And maybe an ongoing solution)

How do I know which apps need to be autostart and which not? Example, I have sharing of my location set up with someone. How do I know if google maps needs to be autostarted, or it's handeled by some api?
It's a huge problem for me. It keeps happening and reappearing every few days.

I recently flashed a stock 4.3 rom build I9505XXUEMJ7, and Im having a big problem with the battery, during the time when im asleep without wifi,3g and I clear all recent apps, and ram, in the morning i lose like 8% battery, and on airplane mode i lose like around 5 or 6. Is it this normal with other S4 users or could someone point me out to a better build rom or something?

Don't know if you have other problems like the phone is rebooting without any reason or hanging during startup, if this is the case then you should change your battery because a great nr of phones are shipped with a bad battery.

Nope, I don't have any problems, it has never crashed or randomly rebooted, except apps failed to load i downloaded from play store, but all system apps work pefect. Like I said the only way for me to get more battery life is to set no background processes in developer options, but then no push notifications from social apps

It is really difficult to diagnose a battery problem without post at least the three battery stats screenshots in battery settings. Also post here two first letters of your battery serial number.

So, I've been having some battery issues lately and I can't really tell why. I haven't been doing anything too extreme, but my battery is almost dead within 12 hours of a charge, and the highest usage is mostly the Kernel and/or OS. I know next to nothing about that side of things, so I exported reports from GSam, and I'm hoping someone will be able to translate them for me if there's an obvious problem. Thanks in advance!
(I've also uninstalled Boxer, I only had it because Pro was free yesterday.)

Keep the location enabled.
Are you using any of the smart stay/air view etc. controls?
If not turn them ALL off.

As far as I know, location is always turned on (meaning I never turn it off myself). One of the first things I did was turn off all the smart crap, and turn off every piece of bloatware I could in the settings (I'm not rooted).

How old is the phone?

That's not good. :-/
I install apps often, but I just as often uninstall them...I guess that's not much help. If it was one of them though, wouldn't it show up under the battery log?
It's approaching a year old, I got it last November I believe.
Yes, I keep my Wifi and data on all the time.
Bad network will drain your battery. Check how the signal is.
Android OS and Kernel are normal between 12-25% on 4.4.2. It's an issue with the battery reporting.
It looks like you've got a wakelock. 12% per hour means it's not going into deep sleep.
Check Wakelock Detector to see if it's going into deep sleep or not. (It needs root for everything else, but that still works.)

Stated in reply post that the phone is not rooted.
My advice will be to uninstall apps one at time to find the one causing the drain.

And neither is mine. Wakelock detector still works in the tab that shows Deep Sleep vs Awake. As I said by 'Everything else requires root, but that still works'.

That varies. At home, I have great signal (full-signal 4G, router is never more than 20 feet away). Some places in town, I can drop to 3G, especially my grandparents (although my grandma does have a router I'm connected to). There's a weird (unrelated?) bug where if I drop to 3G, I either have to turn airplane mode on or wait several hours until it reverts back to 4G, even though I'll be back in a verified 4G area.

I will definitely check that out and use it tonight. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll get back to you on what it says. What generally causes the wakelocks, specific apps? Or just poorly set-up preferences?

Usually apps. Facebook, Skype, some games. Although Mediascanner(Android process) is also known to be responsible for it quite often.

It looks like PayPal was one of the culprits? For some reason?
I did find out I could root extremely easily, so did so and downloaded Greenify, so I'm hoping I can tweak enough to get my battery life back.

That does seem to be the case... Either uninstall paypal or drop it in the Greenify list.
Google Search is probably either the widget or you're using Google Now.

I don't think they're related, but I can't be a hundred percent sure. You can try disabling both Google Search ones under apps -> all, see what that does to the info updates. If it scrambles them, just turn them back on.
(There's two Google Search, one is the search bar, the other is the app related to it.)
With that and Paypal dealt with, battery life should improve significantly.

Does anybody know if we are able to flash any other versions of GApps on the rooted LG V20?
My V20 is from AT&T and since day one it has had terrible battery life. Where I was able to use my Note7 or Droid Turbo all day and still have battery left, the V20 eats the battery charge like Sally Struthers in a See's Candy warehouse. I mean, I have to charge this thing at least 2 times a day when I use it to search the web or any battery intensive purposes. I never had this problem on any other phone. I have been trying to find ways to improve my battery. I used Rom Toolbox Pro to disable all kinds of stuff, and it worked great, until my phone started Grand Mal seizing giving me the Google Play Services has to close notifications, which I then had to factory reset just to get my phone working properly again.
I would like to try flashing a minimal version of GApps that pretty much just has the play store and play store services. Are we able to do this on our V20's without having any issues? If you have any input at all I would really appreciate it.
IMHO it must be an app or two you have installed draining your battery like that. On a full charge I can a whole day and a little in to the next. I am a heavy user too. Are you blasting the brightness at 100% all the time? If so auto brightness will help a little. Go in to setting and see what is using that much drain

I was thinking it might be something I installed, as well. But I can't seem to pinpoint any apps that might be causing the battery drain. I keep the screen on auto brightness like you mentioned so it shouldn't be the screen. GSam almost always shows the Android System and Kernel (Android OS) at the top of the list of battery-draining apps. I love the phone, I just cannot figure out what is going on. I mean, I am not doing anything different than I have on my previous phones, and the V20 seems to be working fine. I thought maybe it is something with Nougat. I will gladly post some pics of app usage or data if it might help figure this problem out.

Interesting! I have never heard of Team Blackout Apps, they look pretty nice! Yes, I am on the stock ROM just the way it comes. I haven't changed anything at all. I have barely installed any apps just to see if I can find what is causing the battery to drain. Are there any other ROMs that work with the AT&T variant of the LG V20? It seems like they haven't made any yet for the AT&T V20. I am still waiting for Xposed to be released that is compatible with nougat so I can use Amplify.

I don't think there are any roms for AT&T variant atm. I did see an AT&T user flashed the stock deodexed rom by tilde88 in rom section. Not sure of all the details though. I'm assuming you would lose some functionality...would need to flash stock kernel as well.
What is your leading source of battery drain under system usage?

Yeah definitely, I think it is a little bit too early, for me at least, to expetiment with a deodexed ROM. But I know there will be some awesome developments coming out soon. I was so happy to see that a root was figured out for the V20 so quickly after it was released. Until then, I will keep experimenting with the stock ROM.

Hi Swizzle82, thank you for the reply. It is kind of difficult for me to pinpoint what the leading source of battery drain is because the apps seem to bunch all detected processes and wakelocks together. I know that Call Services & Android System show up on top a lot of the time, but since I factory reset the phone today, the stats are minimal compared to what I previously had. WeChat also uses resources, but I used that app all the time on my Note7 and previous phones, even more than I do now, and it never caused a problem. I attached some screenshots from GSam, BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, and CPU Spy Reloaded., I don't know if they will help, but just switching between those few apps and taking some screenshots over the span of 6 minutes, my battery percentage dropped from 79% to 76%.

I had android system for a while killing me.. I factory reset and setup every app one by one with no data transfer or anything. Installed every app like it's first install. I charged it til it reached 100 percent, with the phone plugged in, I went to data/system/batterystars.bin and deleted that file and rebooted. It was a long process but it hasn't been an issue since. This was when the phone first came out last month. Never knew which apps data it was but it is gone now.

That sounds like a good idea to try. I will do this today since I already factory reset it yesterday. I would rather do it now before I get further into using it again. I have not heard about this until you mentioned it so maybe there is an issue with app transfers with the V20 causing it. The battery does seem to drain less than before, but it seems like there are still some issues. Thank you for the suggestion!

If you followed did the dirtysanta method, make sure you flash the Konverged kernel for the H918. Or Tilde88's 5.1 kernel for the H918. It worked wonders on improving battery life. Also make sure you disable Lookout - that drains a lot of battery it seemed to me at least. I usually get about a day and a half of battery life when I use my normal amount (which is honestly quite a bit).

Okay, thanks for letting me know! I have not even looked at those kernels thinking they weren't cross compatible with H910. I am going to try it right now with the dirtysanta method. I will disable Lookout, as well. There are a ton of apps that I never use that drain the battery. I will let you know how it goes :good:

I actually like it more than the Note7, the only problem I have is the battery. I do think that factory resetting and manually installing the apps instead of restoring them will help, and using the Konverged kernel seems promising, from what I am reading.

Yup I always start fresh and install apps manually anytime I reset my phone. I think it's always nice to start fresh - even if it is sometimes a bit inconvenient to go through all the apps you've installed and choosing which ones to install. Hopefully you get it all sorted out!

I had android system for a while killing me.. I factory reset and setup every app one by one with no data transfer or anything. Installed every app like it's first install. I charged it til it reached 100 percent, with the phone plugged in, I went to data/system/batterystars.bin and deleted that file and rebooted. It was a long process but it hasn't been an issue since. This was when the phone first came out last month. Never knew which apps data it was but it is gone now.

Okay, I just factory reset the phone, rooted it with DirtySanta, and flashed the Konverged kernel and the phone is NOTICEABLY faster and smoother! This is great! Each time I reset the phone, it had noticeable lag. I just figured it would go away over time, which it did, and that it was because it had to load and download everything since it was fresh. But with the Konverged kernel, it has none of the lag and is silky smooth! Time to manually install the apps I want and disable some stuff I don't need. I will update you guys after I see how the battery is with the new setup Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate all the input!:good:
I need your help! I changed the screen cover sensor to off not realizing that I would not be able to turn off the static after rebooting my phone since the sensor is off. Would somebody please post a few screenshots showing how to navigate to the screen sensor settings so I can tap my way there and turn it back on? I am trying but there is no way to tell where to tap with all the static. Thank you!
Nevermind, I fixed it! I finally navigated to the second screen settings and turned it off when the screen is off and that got rid of the static after I turned the screen off then on again. Note to self, never do that again LOL.

Wow I'm fairly impressed you managed to do all that with the static screen haha - glad to hear it worked out for you in the end.
Get me your stock system.img and boot.img, and I'll make you a modded ROM with a custom kernel!

Haha yeah, I never knew something like that could cause such a huge problem. Now I can't seem to find what I did to cause that in the first place. I have been looking through all of the settings and can't seem to find anything that affects the proximity sensor. On top of that, the screen rotation stopped working, it will not rotate when I turn the phone to the side to type. I have toggled all of the motion and second screen settings, calibrated the motion sensor, and nothing is affecting it. When I turn the main screen off, the sensor does not shut off the second screen when I cover it with my finger, and the phone does not recognize when I rotate the screen. I am kind of at a loss on how to fix it.
Hello, I recently updated my S8 from Nougat to Oreo and I noticed a HUGE difference in battery life. I usually have a SoT of 4-5+ with heavy usage. But since the update, my battery would only last around 2 SoT more or less. I had already done a factory reset and turned off Bixby but my battery is still draining.
I've also heard some people said that the new update requires the phone to "settle" and store the cache so it can "get used to" my usage, with a minimum of 1 week (only had this update for 2 days). I'm not sure if that's true but I don't seem to have many options right now which is why I'm now open to any other suggestions and if all suggestions are done and draining still persist, I might have to roll back to Nougat. Thank you.
Try disabling bixby apps. It helped to a lot of users (not me)

I've already done that, still draining.
you have to master reset, after a major update it's always good to factory reset

I've already done a factory reset and a cache partition wipe. Btw sorry for not including this info in the main post.

I forgot when in the apps section in settings you got to hit the 3 dots on the top right and select show system apps then scroll down to the phone app the select then battery then disable allow background activity.
S8 Oreo Battery Drain
Good Afternoon,
The 3 phone services to disable the background activity has worked a bit but my battery is still draining pretty good... is there any other services I can check to see if the background activity is being used somewhere else?
Simply flash Nougat & enjoy your device .

nah.. samsung should care more about the battery draining
This is completely out of left field, but if you have Allo installed, make sure it isn't using your camera too hard. A week before I upgraded to Oreo I found that one day Allo had used my camera for 46 minutes, even though app foreground time was like 15 minutes and I hadn't launched the camera in Allo at all that day. My solution was to revoke the Camera permission for Allo and that seemed to take care of it.
Unfortunately I just got the Oreo upgrade, Allo still isn't allowed to use camera and I'm getting roughly half my normal battery life anyway as well, haven't been able to determine what else it could be yet.
Whelp, bad news, I did a factory reset and that totally fixed my battery I think! So, great for me, my phone is back to normal, but not a useful data point for you unfortunately.
I don't understand why all these "adjustments" need to be made after a version "upgrade". "I'm the latest and greatest version! I'm going to set things in your phone that eat up your battery!" WHY??
Everything was fine after the Oreo update, but I can barely get through a full day without changing. The main issue seems to be Android system.
Disable all smart locks if enabled like Voice recognition, location locks etc., It will definitely drain battery if enabled.

I don't have any of those enabled.
I have the OnePlus 6T International, on OxygenOS 9.0.6. I disable the Device Admin of "Find My Device." I have a different app that does the same and more. I disable the "Find My Device" and later (days, hours, minutes, IDK) I go back into the Device Admins and it is turned on again! I do not want it turned on. Why is this app allowed to turn it even though I explicitly turned it off? How do I block this app from turning on again? Is there a way to "Freeze" the app in Titanium Backup? I have googled this all over and all I can find is how to turn it on, not how to prevent it from turning itself back on.
No one else is having this issue???
My 6t has the same strange behavior.
I'm on oos 9.0.7. International 8\128 model
Wiped cache from the recovery after every system update
Also wiped the full data and cache after the 9.0.5 >> 9.0.6 upgrade.
EDIT: 9 hours later, the settings are still retained. Will keep you updated.

I have the 8/128 mirror black from the OnePlus website. I have had this issue since 9.0.5. I am on 9.0.7 with root and Elemental X kernel. I noticed the issue when I only used root. I think I had the same issue on my OnePlus 5
I'm on stock and unrooted.
I think i noticed this when i was on 9.0.6 but now that I know you also noticed the bug from long time, I think that's just because i didn't pay attention on 9.0.5
I'm testing, and looks like Find My Devices is enabled back as admin app after each reboot, at least for me.
Does it work the same for you?

Yes, this is exactly what it is doing for me. I posted about it in the official update thread, but no one responded.
This issue is also happening to me. Not sure if it is enterily caused by the find my device functionality but my battery life is crap. During night I can loose 10 or 15% without any screen time. The most I ever had is about 4hours sot

I am not having any SOT issues like this. I get 6+ hours of SOT. What version are you on? Are you using root? Custom kernel?
No root, stock. Also disabled everything regarding location, nfc, Bluetooth, etc. This is really bugging me as I see I am one of the few with bad battery life. I am on 9.0.7 now, same thing since 1st day 9.0.4 I think.
For the battery consumption analysis, I suggest to get BetterBatteryStats and dig deeper
I have no problems atm with SOT related to this "find my device" trouble.
After every reboot i go on disabling the admin app rights.
I have that app but it need root or a special type of authorization to work properly using adb. I am patiently waiting for a working twrp so I can customize the system with root. Do you think I am having other issues on top of this find my device? I even uninstalled a lot of apps already to try and isolate the culprit.
No root needed, as i said I'm on stock/unrooted/locked_BL, you just have to grant BBS 3 rights, via adb, to dump battery usage and this kind of info.
You just need to run 3 commands from a shell on an adb enabled pc.
Without required info, it's almost impossible to say what's the source of your drain.
Anyway I doubt that's related to the "Find my device" stuff, maybe mail settings or IM/Social apps.
Authorize BBS via adb and then check on the BBS' thread how to log and analyze logs &/or ask for help
Cheers

There must be an app you have installed that is preventing the phone from going into a deep sleep state. Check the battery in settings to see if it lists any app using more battery than all other apps. I had that issue once and just removed the app and never had the issue again.
Last thing you try is a factory reset. Sometimes old settings cause issues with a new system and just need to be whipped away.
OK, so I gave the necessary permissions to better battery stats and i now have a report. This is from having the phone idling during sleep, it lost about 15% without screen On time. What is wrong here? Can you help me interpret the data?
And from the battery menu.
Edit: made a topic for my issue.

Looking at the long one, it looks like you have an app or something taking a wake lock and not letting go of it. When did this battery issue start? Like, did it start when you started using 9.0.7 or before?
Check on BBS thread how to take a correct log and ask there for a competent advice, sorry but i'm unqualified for it
cheers
