[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arc_knight:
Is this a problem of battery? Or something is wrong with the ROM? I don't think anything is wrong with the ROM. I have calibrated the battery but even then smallest work drops the charge like a cliff even though charge drop in idle (standby) condition is really good.

Also, after using the phone, if I leave the phone to rest, the charge automatically increases. It's a old battery problem, right?

EDIT: the usage is mainly simple surfing of web. Also I'm on Lineage OS 14.1 Stock kernel.

Hi,

I have an issue with my Nexus 5. I had 1 hour of SOT. I'm not a gamer, I turn on very rarely GPS and sometime bluetooth.

So, I decided to changed my battery. The new battery installed, I reset my phone properly (wipe Data, cache, system etc) and install the last Lineage OS release.

But, it's a nightmare, still 1h or 1:30h of SOT!

I tried with the ROM PA and it's the same...

What's is going on? I tried to Calibrate my new battery, Greenify, but nothing change...

Any Idea?

Thanks

High drain with Beta Oreo 8.1

Hello,

I am relatively new to Android & was using Windows Phone. I wanted to try Andriod and bought a new device which after the recent OTA update to Oreo 8.1.0 beta, has a huge battery drain during idling. Since I have little to no experience with Android, battery historian was not much of a use to me, but I have GSAM screenshots as requested in this thread. Hope some nerds can help me :D. Thanks.

OS: Oreo 8.1.0 running February'18 patch level

Kernel: 4.4.78-perf+

Phone: Essential PH-1

Bluetooth: Off

NFC: Off

GPS: <4minutes

Hi Guys,

I want your opinion : does turns off/on radio signal periodically drains more battery than just left it on? because i made a task "radio off" in tasker that turns off my radio, data signal when my screen off, and for 30 minutes it will automatically turn on for 1 minutes to check notification then turn it off again.

What if my habits during working day is checking my phone every 15 or 10 minutes? that seems with tasker, my radio will turn on and off every 10-15 minutes. Is that drains more battery than i left the radio signal on?

Thank you for your reply.

[MENTION=4036181]KJ[/MENTION] this might be useful, syncs drain battery sometimes and most people don't even need them all: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54445632

It'll work for any app that adds itself to the Accounts section in Settings (all Google apps are merged into the Google account), so you can nuke syncs in social media apps such as Facebook contacts sync, Skype contacts sync, etc which I personally found annoying since it tended to clog up my contacts if not disabled. Some syncs also magically re-enable themselves so this will also stop that.

Paired with "Wakeup Timer Coalescing" (Greenify Donation Package + Xposed, makes all syncs happen at the same time rather than whenever they want to so it only needs one wake rather than multiple) you'll never have sync drains. Along with what I said about GCM push, social apps won't drain battery and you'll still be notified :good:

[MENTION=5964674]streetrod60[/MENTION] it might, it might not. Depends on how often you actually turn the screen on, best way is to try it out yourself and see if it helps or makes battery worse for you :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swat4samp:
That is exactly what i need :good: I used autostart and gemini app manager but it wont exactly show what services are triggered. Although i use greenify to delete wakeup paths, google services still show up. Will try this.

There are too many services on google play services. Can u recommend what services needs to be disabled? Apart from sync services? Honestly, i dont know what does those services do :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Awesome!! Is this it??

I could link to it in the 2nd post. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
Would this work for separate google accounts? For example, one of my google accounts I want things to sync, but not for the other google account. Is there a way to differentiate services for separate accounts?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Don't think so. Its the apps being restricted. So its all or nothing.

That's how I see it....haven't actually used it, cause I just keep most things off anyway. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
They're easy to find, it'll say what sync it is then 'sync' right after.

E.g.

Google Play Services, PeopleSyncService is the sync for People under your Google account.

Under Google+, AutoBackupSyncService is the Auto Backup sync for Photos.

You can just go to your Accounts section, then open Disable Service, disabling one that has 'sync' in its name, then see if it disappeared from your syncs. If it removed one you wanted gone, move on to the next one. If it didn't remove a sync or removed one you use, reenable it :p

Keep in mind that Google apps put all their syncs under the Google account and you'll have to go their respective apps to disable them.

Best to just quote the post :p (not the one I linked in my post lol, the one in this thread)

I didn't know you could even log into two Google accounts :eek: If you're disabling a service, it stops it completely so no.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ooops, forgot link in above post....I meant is this Disable Service??

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swat4samp:
Yup, that's the one. I found some issues while testing with that app. Not sure if its an issue. If i disable one service, then other services are also being disabled automatically. And using this with greenify is confusing me a lot. If i greenify google play services and check in disable service app, the services i already disabled are enabled and vice versa. Maybe i need to dig even furthur :good: One more thing: I think we can disable wear services, games services (if people wont use google play games), log service, analytics service, castscreen related service( if castscreen isn't used) There are no problems for me after disabling those services.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Best not to Greenify Google Play Services and just do it with Disable Service. You might not get notifications with Greenifying it, and it might break things :p I don't have it Greenified, I don't get any drains either ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've never greenified play services. I think I tried once and I had play store issues....it couldn't wake it or something.

Maybe I'm wrong....but I do get stellar battery life with it left alone anyway. Of course, with location off....that probably keeps play services behaving.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swat4samp:
Honestly, i too didn't observe much improvement in battery even after greenifying play services. I used to cut off wake up paths whenever greenify notices it, but at some point, i got some sync issues and even google now refused to update cards. As lethargy said, its better to disable each service one by one and check which benefits the most :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Also, use App Ops to disable the 'keep awake' permission from Google Play Services. It'll prevent it from wake locking your device, and you won't have to Greenify it. Using Greenify will repetitively kill it, which drains more battery than helps.

And like you said, yes you can use Disable Service to get rid of services you don't use like location, wearables, cast. Even if you don't use those services, sometimes apps like to wake them anyways and can sometimes cause drains. For example, YouTube likes to start the cast service regardless if its even being used or not. Disable it, never again. :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you want....you could pm me a noob friendly little "how to" for disable service and app ops... A simple intro type thing and the benefits.... And links to play store...and I'll just insert it right into post 2...credited of course? ;)

So, even after disabling most of the services, 2-3% battery drain when phone is in deep sleep for 8-9hrs seems to be inevitable for me :(. I checked in bbs and found nothing unusual in kernel and partial wakelocks but seems that android system is waking up in alarm stats. I disabled calendar intent service in google search app but still it shows there. Here are some screenshots
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
2-3% over 9 hours, thats like 0.3% per hour lol, it isn't that bad. Are you using Google Now?

Regardless, I only lose 1% in 24 hours if I don't turn my screen on for that long :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swat4samp:
Wait what? Only 1% in 24hrs. No way man. Well, it's on every time but i only refresh it manually and already set location reporting and history to off. So, i thought it won't drain that much.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you have location services running....you're lucky to get the low standby drain you are getting. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CerB:
Thanks op for this thread, super great info, i had been using google now for a while,

I followed your advise and disble google now and other location services.

i never had as good batteri as now, been of the charger for 11 hours and 30 mins, with screen on for 49 min, and its down to 82 %. mostly wifi. 3G losses a bit more.

never have the screen on just for the show off time stats.

Brightness about 35% indoors and around 60 % outdoors.

I use my phone for tapatalk, greader, pocketcast, chrome and facebook and more like that. all google sync on except from google plus.

i have grennified some apps that dont need to be running i back ground.

have not greenified facebook, instagram,mightytext and other services like that.

apps that need location gets it when they are startet via tasker.

Thanks again, its great and i dont miss google now i have discovered.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Awesome!!! ?

Yeah, I am by far an expert with Google now....I don't even get what "cards" are. Lol. But I have it off. I have hot word detection on any screen off. And I use LMT, with Google search on the shortcuts. So in any screen , I can open LMT...click Google search and talk to my phone. And it'll talk back where its supposed to. All I need...and location and Google now are off.

The only thing with location off, is if I ask the time let's say...or other things dependant on location....I just say "what time is it in (where I am) and it says it.

So, again....no expert....but Google search anyway, works fine for what I need with location and Google now off. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
As for navigating.....takes 2 seconds. Toggle location on, open Google search and say navigate to???? Done. :)

Toggle location off when done.

Yes, if I worked in a place I could charge anytime....I'd probably keep everything on. But I don't, so I don't. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
You should get the Greenify Donation Package along with Xposed, then you can use GCM Push. :angel:

If you go to the list where you select what apps you wanna Greenify (App Analyser), you'll notice some apps like Facebook have a cloud that says GCM on it. It means that if you have the GCM push feature active you can Greenify that app and still get notifications. Useful for many social apps since most of them have it.

The GCM cloud icon doesn't show up in the list of already hibernated apps since the items move around depending on if they're awake or hibernated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CerB:
I know, but hate the start up time when they are hibernated. And I use Facebook and other push apps a lot, so I guess maybe they would use more battery if hibernated.

By looking at your poor connectivity (data), it's decent. Try changing radios and see if it helps you with the signal strength OR just don't use data when you have a poor connection. It will be a major battery sucker.

...to my rescue ;). Only service which seems to be running even though everything's turned off is nlpwakelock and i have absolutely no idea which app is triggering it. Of course disabling service manually does the trick.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Try using App Ops and denying Keep Awake on Play Services, and use a permission manager and deny android.permission.WAKE_LOCK

"Keep Awake" is for keeping the screen on for media consumption (or similar) e.g. video playback, camera apps

android.permission.WAKE_LOCK keeps the device awake but does not influence the screen, e.g. music playback, background syncs

Difference between blocking wakelock and Greenify is that Greenify hibernates it (uses more battery to start up service again and we know it causes issues), while blocking wakelock doesn't kill it at all, it just prevents it from acquiring a wakelock.

I use the Xposed Module, "App Settings" because I also use it for other things and it has a permission manager too. I've had no issues blocking it for a couple months now.

Something strange with my battery.

After charging to 100% and using phone, it drops like a crazy to 80% maybe for 30min, and phone is... not hot, but warm. After 80% it discharges "normal" way. And no matter what ROM I`m using: CM, PA or L. It`s on all ROMs like that way.

I must say that i have changed my battery for new one, about 4 days ago. And thats how is it going.

Pardon my French.

Try letting it completely die. Then charge it until it's full with the power remaining off the whole time. Unplug after its full and turn it on.

But it may just take a bit for the phone to pick up the new batteries stats more accurately.

Or another option.... Crappy battery. Is it from LG or a cheap eBay battery?

It might be because a cheap battery could have less capacity than the original, so it calculates wrong?

A Nexus 4 owner modded his phone to have a double battery: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/4200mah-nexus-4-internal-battery-t2239829

It did the opposite and hanged on a certain percentage because of the double capacity

Allll of sudden, i got battery drains. I tried deleting apps just helped a lil bit. And i dont have significant wakelocks. I tried to flash 4.4.2 modem helped a lot but didnt solve the issue. When phone is idle its draining like hell. Like 25 percent for 10 hour overnight.So i go ahead and factory reset my phone. I just installed WhatsApp and rooted it. (I know i dont install g-sam but i will) And what i found is Wi-Fi and Phone idle is suckin up my battery. What to do? I already changed my ssid and password for Wi-Fi. Revert the dns. (I wıll check this night if that helped but i dont think so ) All the time i have full coverage and its always on Wi-Fi when its night. This night i will try to put on airplane mode. Lets see if that helps. If yes it fixes my drain then there is a problem with my Wi-Fi.My Wi-Fi is kinda crowded imo xD 4 Phones (iPhone 5,iPhone 5s,Xperia Ion,Nexus 5), 2 tablets,iptv,2 PCs and sometimes my dad uses Wi-Fi.
