Bad battery life / new OP8Pro / 5-6h SOT / Tips? - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi y'all,
bought my first OnePlus ever a week ago but I get like 5 hours of Screen On Time, while I saw here on xda people getting even 10 hours with 120 Hz.
Running latest stock ROM, not rooted because I actually don't need root.
FHD+ 120Hz, no AOD.
Factory reset done, Wipe Cache done.
I'm not gaming, using my phone for Chrome, WhatsApp and Social Media (not 24/7).
Any tips for me?
I kinda do like the phone and may keep it, but I hate to say that my 3 years old P20 Pro still gets 6-8h SOT. I know, display is better on 8Pro but still...
I dont have a problem installing custom ROM and custom Kernel if that's gonna get me towards those 8+ hours SOT.
If installing custom ROM, I still need my banking apps working/safe, if that's maybe not the case.
Thanks!

Stay on latest OOS, root and use a custom kernel

But with root my Banking Apps may not work right? Paypal/Crypto/etc. may not work or be safe either or?
I already tried debugging with GSAM Battery Monitor and noticed that Google Play Services wakes the device pretty often but somehow doesnt use much % Power. Google Play Services has also the highest Sensor Time of all apps.
Any tips on that one?
And also, which Kernel? Bluspark?

Turn auto brightness off if on; then set brightness low.... See if it helps.

I don't use auto brightness and I use brightness at like 35-45%. So that shouldn't be an issue either. Thanks for the tip though.

I also just got the 8 pro and am noticing battery drain. What kernel do you recommend?

Just got the 8 Pro also ... brand new. Noticing battery drain as well. I lost 10 % overnight. Are you seeing similar drain?

It will take few days to settle up but still, with stock OOS it was bad.
I flashed LineageOS + Magisk + Radioactive Kernel and I am still testing it out but it doesnt seem to be much better than stock. Maybe a bit but no way of reaching 8 hours SOT.
I'd suggest try something else and report here, so I can test it out too.
I was thinking of testing PixelExperience and/or Stock rooted OOS with custom Kernel but I'll give a LineageOS a chance 2-3 days more.

Thanks. I just installed Omega Kernel and that seems to have made a slight difference.
Do you use AccuBattery by chance? My estimated capacity is 3855 mAh ~ design capacity is reading correct @ 4510 mAh. Not sure how accurate this is, but it would mean that the battery isn't what it should be or received a used device / defective battery?

Nope, I dont use AccuBattery. Tbh I think it cant read the value correctly.
I actually flashed Havoc Rom 2 hours ago, no custom kernel. Ill check how it's gonna be.

How's Havoc battery life after a day? I added Naptime and am using the Magisk Module GMS Doze. My overnight drain dropped from 10% to 7%, which is still way too high. I am using xXx No Limits as well.

I haven't set my phone fully yet because i wanted to try the Rom out. I have now "only" Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord and few smaller apps logged in but that's it. I don't know about standby drain but I'm now at 51% battery with 4hours screen on which means it's better but still no chance of reaching 10 hours. 7 hours should be reachable right now

Black theme, black walpaper .
If you don't use bluetooth, wifi, nfc disable them .Enable when you use them.
Uninstall or at least disable apps you don't use.
Enable battery saver and other settings in settings.
Order a battery from Oneplus if still the battery still low.

Custom Nougat ROM Users! feedback needed

Hello Guys ! After reading up about the issues with the Nougat Official updates i wanted to give custom roms a chance.
However , the experience with Custom ROMS over the years have made me realise , Battery backup is never the same on a custom ROM compared to the Stock firmware.
Can people who tried out different ROMS and Kernels , suggest which rom or ROM+Custom Kernel combination gives Stock like Battery performance ??
Eagerly waiting for you replies so that i can get flashing..
Thanks in Advance
Your help is much appreciated
In every Nougat custom ROM battery is almost the same as stock. You have simply to choose the best for you.
I personally have AospExtended with Optimus r21 and I'm happy with it

Any specific Governor settings in the Optimus R21 kernel ??
And do you use dual sims in 4G ?
Any other Misc Settigns you do ?
What about the Standby time and SOT that you generally get ??
Thanks in advance BRO
I prefer "sis" eheh
Anyway, my kernel settings: BIG cluster max freq set to 1.6Ghz instead of 1.7 (I don't need any overclock), min freq to 345Mhz and Little cluster max to 1.1Ghz and min to 499Mhz, both clusters on Optimus governor. I left the other settings to r21 original.
I have a european single-SIM device, so no...
For the rest, all il stock, I haven't any battery friendly script, I believe in my Moto X Play, I don't want to mutilate it.
In Wi-Fi I reach 8h of SOT, I can stand 2 days without charge it in normal use. In LTE mode, almost 5-6 hours if I go out with a normal use, I can't tell you with a heavy use... when I'm out I don't use the phone so much also I have a tedious mobile radio active bug (that seem affect only me and maybe a couple of other users, I'm investigating) so previously in LTE I reached also 6-6.30h of SOT

I am on Aosp extended since it's version 3.3
Right now, I'm on version 4.3
No custom kernel.
If SOT is what you want to know, for me it's between 4 to 5 hours.
Dual sim with one on 4g and second on 2g.
Data remains on whole day.
Extermely stable. Just like stock MM.
If you don't want to use root or themes, maybe it will be more stable for you.

I'm on Resurrection Remix (Official) and has some little bugs in the movements on locked screen (camera and led torch don't work as expected). Another thing is if u open camera by lock screen can't close it (navbar is blocked), the way is re lock the phone and then get to the pattern screen again.
The SOT is about 3-4h on 70% time in WiFi and 30% mobile data (4G/LTE)
About battery in general there is some screen shots: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_XlbO-BACx0bmRHc0R1dDcyQ3M
I will change my ROM because the dev (GtrCraft) discontinued the RR (see his message on the post)... So I think it's hour to test another.

Thanks a ton K.Khiladi.. those stats are impressive ... I would try this rom for sure..
My usage is mostly erratic... I am in office fro almost 7-8 hours when the phone just lies dead in pocket and when office is over i use phone services like location data and what not .. So basically i needed a ROM that has minimal drain while in the pocket and good SOT when i use my device actively for short burst of periods.... I know its always a trade off between SOT and Standby . Thanks for your advice

Thanks man.. do update me on your experience when you switch ROMs.. I have had great time with RR on my old Motorola Atrix 2 as this particular ROM managed to stay on my phone for a long time but yeah the battery issue was always there as it is very feature rich.. Thanks for the info
the 615 chip is not very efficient in the first place, especially when it comes to gaming.

Standby is minimal but after flashing make sure you go to settings - battery - - battery optimisation and check that every app is optimized.

So, I flashed AOSP Extended last night... It's the best so far (just tried two ROM's yet), no bugs found by now. The torch light and camera movements works fine and I liked it.
When I completely test it perhaps make a review (maybe post here in XDA, if rules accept it).

The standby drain is okay for me.
A tip is go to the system settings > "Extensions" > "System" > "General Tweaks" > "Suspend Actions"
Then enable it...
My settings are:
Screen off delay: 5s
Screen on: 5s
Switch to 2G: Enabled
Disable Mobile Data: Disabled
Disable GPS: Enabled
This is doing magic in standby and the best part is enabling this don't make u losing any notification, they work fine here.

[MIDO] SOT with custom ROM

Below are screenshots of my SOT (using Slim ROM and Faust Kernel). The SOT measured with PCMark "Work 2.0 battery life" test. I started the test when the battery was at 85%, and it stopped automatically when the battery reached 20%. Everything else was running as normal - lots of WhatsApp messages coming in (no popups) and even an incoming phone call (which I didn't answer).
Adaptive brightness is enabled, with the brightness level set at 40%. The test ran overnight (note that the screen is on, and active the whole time - basically, it keeps running all sorts of benchmarks over and over again, with the screen redrawing continuously).
Result: from 85% to 20% took 11 hours and 54 minutes. This equates to about 17 hours SOT .
Can you try that with AospExtended ROM V4.4 and with the same kernel?

Outside of battery benchmarks, how long was your SOT?
Everybody has different user scenarios & different methods of using a phone.
This SOT of yours is not using mobile data network, only WiFi, correct?
Try to do a test using LTE or WCDMA only, without WiFi and share the result with us.
Cheers!
Faust Kernel with governor tweaks on the newest RR build and i can easily get 10 hours of SOT, sometimes 12 hours
As already indicated, everything was running as normal (which includes WiFi, bluetooth, and LTE enabled), and the PCMark battery test was running on top of it all. Performance benchmarks running non-stop for 12 hours on a phone is objective enough for me. YMMV.
I've been playing around for a few days now to find a good balance between battery and a good performance. LineageOS 14.1 with Vulcan kernel, currently at 8h SOT with 35% battery left. I usually just install a kernel and let it run on defaults so still learning what things do.
In Miui with Velvet, is not precisely SoT (actually it is because how the hell am i suppose to play with the screen off lol) but i'm really surprised to see how long the battery lasts even playing games.
Yes i was on Wi-Fi all the time but still... i would test LTE but i don't have , i just go up to 3G .

I am not sure what you mean. I simply installed the Faust kernel. AFAIK, there were no settings (I don't use Faust anymore, so I don't know whether settings are added later). Sorry, but I don't know what you mean by "SS".

Best ROM so far for OnePlus 2 or Solution for battery life

Hello guys. I know that this is a very common question not just in OnePlus 2 forum. I read some posts of this, tried, but no success. So far I've tried couple of ROMs but battery life is so disappointing. Best shot was RR ROM 8.1 official with BB kernel installed. After system and kernel installed, I've done a wipe of data. I wanted to make sure there is nothing except system on my phone. After that, all necessary apps I use. That was operating very good in few days. But recently, out of nowhere, battery life is awful! Over the night, with no use and battery saver turned on, I loose more than 20%! I know that I haven't downloaded any additional apps after first days of installation, I haven't changed any settings since first day... I added fingerprint lock 2 days ago and yesterday I turned it off. So What is going on??? Phone is not overheating, seems like there is nothing in the background running to drain battery.
If you know what could cause the problem, it would be very helpful. But I'm also opened for installing a new ROM, kernel...
Who is here with good battery life? Gimme some advice! Btw, I don't care if it's N or O, or anything as long as it's operating well, reliable and no bugs. Thanks!
That's probably a battery issue, install AccuBattery then see how much health your battery have(requires few charges).

I reached (haters gonnah hate) best battery life on lineage 13 with boeffla kernel (zanezam's uber builds, use some battery safe profile from profile thread or make your own), amplify, greenify (optimized accordingly to the corresponding thread, with xposed) and NO GAPPS. Get about 3 days with SOT of 2-4h or a sot of 6-9h on 1 day (on an old oneplus2, no gaming). You can also use dualbootpatcher and a second, battery optimized (but lagging) ROM so you can switch when you can't charge your phone for a longer period of time.

I did, really awesome app but I'm not sure that I understand what is saying to me. And I don't think that is battery issue because before this I had a really good battery life. I'm sure that if I do a fresh install of new ROM, battery life will be great but only for few days.

Forget everything with dualboot patcher, you would probably mess up your phone.
For everything else, use xda search. Seriously, you only have to type the apps i suggested 1:1 into the adress bar and you will find it! If you are too lazy for this, unroot and go back to stock.... seriously...
Edit:
Yes, i'm using this now (lineageos13) with a self compiled boeffla kernel (uber 8, camera focus fixed on 6.0.1 roms), greenify, amplify (own build), xposed (needed for amplify, greenify works better with it) and no GAPPS (= google apps--> no playstore, youtube, etc--> draining battery as hell, idk what they are always doing in the background...)
My boeffla profile: 3 cores 1250mhz max, big cores disabled, battery extreme governor, system and my apps (whatsapp, telegram, 9gag, browser) work fluently (they start up a very little bit slower than before).
Battery profile is same but with 2 cores 675mhz, still only few microlaggs (you have to disable all animations in developer settings), internet browser is slow (use a lightweight browser, such as firefox focus) apps open up slower but aside from that the phone is usable. If you're interested in the kernel and my profiles, please tell me (you still have A LOT of work to do by yourself, such as setting up amplify and greenify, disabling (system) apps you don't need, adjusting everything for your needs, deny unnecessary permissions on app ops xposed, etc).

Results can vary. As someone who flashes way too many ROMs - its an addiction - I currently use crDroid Oreo as my daily. I also flashed the blue bolt kernel. This seems to give me good battery. I do have a rooted version of the stock ROM I flashed in twrp backup. Just in case. With crDroid also backed up I can move quickly from one to the other in about ten min without losing all my settings. It is a good idea to occasionally do a fresh backup of one or both since apps added or deleted or updated and any changes you've made since last backup will not be kept otherwise.

Results can vary. As someone who flashes way too many ROMs - its an addiction - I currently use crDroid Oreo as my daily. I also flashed the blue bolt kernel. This seems to give me good battery.

Do you know dualboot patcher (google it )? Very nice opportunity to have multiple roms installed on the device (which even share the data for specific apps--> u have all your wa chats from one rom on the other, directly after reboot). Wouldn't recommend for people who can not restore a backup over adb (unexpected things can happen, but way better than always saving and restoring a backup)...

I did, really awesome app but I'm not sure that I understand what is saying to me. And I don't think that is battery issue because before this I had a really good battery life. I'm sure that if I do a fresh install of new ROM, battery life will be great but only for few days.
Can you explain this please with simple phrases? How was the performance? Do you use it now?

If you don't mind for a worse looking screen quality, you can use terminal emulator (with root), do a backup in TWRP(ALL partitions!) then type (hit Enter after each line):
"su" (grant root if asked)
"wm size 720x1280" (for 720p, it looks about the same as 1080p, u can also use 480x854)
"wm density 300" (200 for 480x854)
Then u can lower your cpu frequencies until it lags. (and disable system animations, my phone works fine at 480p with 2 cores at 768mhz max freq) will post sot/running time (without charging) when i have the time to test.

Battery issues on many custom ROMs

Hi guys, I've got a problem that keeps me forcing using stock ROM instead of custom ROMs. Basically, on every custom ROM I flash I get horrible battery life no matter what. Like 4 hrs SOT while on stock ROM with the same usage I can even double that result. It's very frustrating :/ anyone else experienced this? I've tried Pixel Experience, crDroid, Paranoid Android, CarbonROM and ElementalX.
On every single one of them I get horrible battery life after a week or so, still can't figure out why. As I said, stock ROM drains just fine and allows me two days usage with 7/8 SOT hrs. I remember having to revert back to stock because Paranoid Android 3 could barely last me until evening with ~4hrs SOT.
Any advices ?
Syberia Rom try ?
Trust me mate, i felt the same what you are feeling, tried all the roms but wont get satisfied with the battery but not with pixen os , its a beast in sot i wont get even 5 hours with other roms but in pixen able to get upto 7 hours of sot(without gaming) , after flashing you have to wait for a week to get better results. At first you will face deep sleep issues but its ok let the rom get adapt with your device after a week you will get better results. Its been a month still i am getting upto 6 hours of sot with lil bit heavy usage (without gaming). Good luck
Here's my stats for today. Definitely more than I'll ever need. This is my fav setup thus far using my 6t which I purchased from swappa used some months ago. I watched a ton of youtube vids, read lots of news from my Google news feed, texted for some hours using signal, made a few calls and read XDA of course. ?
I'm definitely happy with this. Normally I never even reach this far as I took my phone off charge a bit sooner than usual and it's waaaaayyy past my bed time. Haha!
My setup:
Corvus rom+ Radioactive kernel=?

Very rarely. Like maybe 30 minutes in those stats I posted here. Now I've made my tweaks. Installed Naptime and Servicely apps and tuned them and also installed magisk module to make Google services doze aggressively as well. And I wiped my phone and reinstalled OOS + Corvus rom+ Blu Spark kernel. This time I backed up my system partition so if I get all crazy installing sound mods I can restore my system and it's untouched. I stay on LTE almost always but when my phone's not being used most of the time I turn off my data and sync..

Is it worth the change?

Hi there, i have a 9T EEA, that i recently updated to MIUI 12, the thing is that since i updated it battery life is the worst i ever had, i use to charge it once every 1 and 1/2 days and now i have to plug it twice a day! So i was thinking to change the ROM but i dont know if it actually improves the battery life, i used to use Lineage or another roms in other phones but not sure if this will work with the currents Roms that are already in this Forum, like Xiaomi.Eu or Lineage, my main worries about them are about bank apps and the actual perfomance of it. Thanks in advance!

I'm on the same firmware and after about a week battery was almost the same as on 11.0.6.(debloated by ADB).
If you still have the feeling the drain is higher the upcoming firmware 12.0.3 may fix that, at least the beta users say so.
I don't have used a custom ROM on my 9T but my experience on other devices (mostly Motorola) is that customs have higher battery drain than stock firmwares.
Maybe xiaomi.eu is another thing but in the end you have to find it out by yourself.

Trust me it is worth it, u can control your own device with custom roms making it fast and light, unlike ugly bloated miui full of ads and huge battery usage, im sitting on msm xtended and get 0.2% battery drain at night in 12 hours, if u look for battery custom roms and definitely better than miui (u can easily achieve a 8h minimum sot)
