No problem. I've been meaning to document my configuration for a while! DS battery saver let's you set how often the phone is allowed to wake up and how long dor. It is fuzzy, as in, in practice the device wakes up for a few other things, but it does ensure you can still get timely updates.

I'll have a think what else I've done. Best thing for me is that I don't have to disable GPS or mess with Google play. Most people don't seem to realise they eare suffering the MRA bug and fail to understand that the app showing the issue isn't the actual app causing it. It is causing many people to uninstall things they don't need to.

I also have substratum installed and am using a dark theme applied only to apps, leaving core OS components unthemed (theming android system and the settings app would break the device so don't ha.) The dark theme also massively reduces drain from the OLED screen.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
Thank you, now I got it! Tahnks for sharing your expierence and helping me understanding ;)

Anyway, suffering this kind of bugs in 2017, when a lot of users have reported this and thanks to this Google could have sufficient information to analyse the issue, seems not acceptable... we are not talking about a little refresh bug or something like that but this could be the kind of bug that can make the user experience horrible for people.. just a little outburst.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] TeddySika:
Im facing this problem too after flashing oos 4.0.1, twrp 3.0.3-1, rooted.

I've tried to disable google app, permission to location is turn off for every app except maps, only using 1 google account. This is my cycle.

A lot of people after the Nougat update are facing battey drain issues like you.

If your drain, like most of them, is related to the Oxygen OS there are good news for you, because OnePlus on twitter was talking about a new release (4.0.2) to fix all this battery issues.

Did you experienced this drain also before updating to Oxygen 4.0.x?

In my case I think to not be as lucky because I am experiencing this also with Oxygen 3.5.3 that is based on Android Marshmellow.

Yesterday I got a conversation with the Google Italian support describing my problem and all the "Mobile radio active" bug information... they told me they started a further investigation on this matter in order to solve the issue. I really hope that this could be a good starting point in order to definely resolve this issue and give to the Mobile radio active bug the importance and the severity that it worth!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] m0d hipp¥:
If your battery drain is caused by this mobile data bug, maybe you can take a look at this app "LeanDroid" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.leandata&hl=en

I have it on my S6 and my S7 because those 2 phones had terrible battery drain and this app seems to help out. You can limit certain services such as mobile data, bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi.

You still get background notifications and stuff, but it is in a "sleep mode" sort of state and helps preserve your battery.

When I get my OP3T I will write a tutorial about some great apps that can help preserve battery and even optimize the performance of your phone even more than it already is.

I hope this helps you out though. Good luck!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
Leandroid looks like a replacement for DS battery saver. I'll give it a try and see which saves more. DS hasn't been updated for a while.

...Works with OOs 4.0.1. DS battery saver doesn't. Could be on to a winner here since that's the main reason I've not stuck with it.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] m0d hipp¥:
That's awesome. Like I said, I haven't gotten my phone yet so haven't tested it on the OP3T, but if it works for you, I look forward to hearing your feedback about it.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] TeddySika:
I only used 3.5.4 for one day when i bought it. Then updated to 4.0.1, unlocking, root, and install all apps that i need.

Here is my cycle after i did :

1. Disable google app

2. Disable location permit for all apps except maps.

3. Using greenify to sleep background apps

Pretty impressive, but the google play service still draining more then android system.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
I'm still investigating on my battery drain problem apparently related to Google Play services.

Summing, like stated some posts ago, all things for now are pointing to one, and not so positive, thing: Mobile radio active bug (here more details: https://code.google.com/p/android/is...tail?id=190396)

I've found that using the WiFi connection my drain problem is totally gone, more than this, I see that Google Play Services exchanged a lot of background data when I am using mobile data (2G/3G/4G) .

Due to this I tried, from the Google Play Services app settings, to active the "Limit app background data" option and with my pleasure I saw that this was fixing my drain problems also with mobile data!

"All fantastic!" I said.. not at all, doing this I saw that I lost push notifications while receiving messages on whatsapp, messenger, hangout and so on.. and unfortunately this is very inconvenient.

Thanks for sharing!

I will give it a try once I have rooted my OP3T.. It's very interesting the possibility to make exceptions based on the app and on its background services.

Very nice SOT time :)

Just a question.. what you mean at the point 1 with "Disable google app"?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
Update, Leandroid is a great replacement for DS battery saver. I saw 8h SOT yesterday with it on MM. DS battery saver/leandroid are the key feature to working around the MRA bug. You do lose immediate notifications but you can specify how often to check, which is a nice enough workaround to make everything worth it.

No need to use Greenify on Nougat, in OOs 4, Greenify is part of the OS. But I still trust it more as it has proven itself over the years.

So yeah, leandroid plus Greenify plus Amplify plus FK kernel equals insane battery life.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nano303:
Thank for the feedback. Is this going to be the ALL ABOUT BATTERY thread? Should be. Should make one at least, afterall it is what xda is all about. Helping out the community :) would love to see a thread about tips and tricks. New to the one plus 3t after today. Still using s7 edge but getting my opo today

Shatter their dreams! and haunt their nightmares !
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] TeddySika:
On the google app, i turn off notification, feed, card, ext.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] aaronc_98:
I have android system and android OS chewing up like 70% battery with like 3 apps installed (exchange, News, TIt backup), swype removed and greenify? My Screen does not even make this list- absolutely horrible - what could cause this?

Seems to be fixed with 4.02...
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
Got it, thanks mate ;)

The version 4.0.2 should fix this battery drain issue if they are related to the Android OS system from the Nougat update.

By the way in the update changelog I did not found nothing related to the "battery drain fix", on the other hand happy to hear that the new version fixed your issue!

Lookin forward for you confirm.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Tozenator:
Hey guys. Google brought me here. Apparently there isn't much on the subject.

I ran OOS 3.5.3 a few days ago (haven't tried 3.5.4 since I heard it had battery issues). I was suffering from high drainage from Google Play Services, Android System and Android OS. With the help of Greenify, Amplify and Power Nap I could get at least 5h of screen time. I got sick of the drain so I tried OOS 4.0.2, hoping it would fix things. Android System and Android OS drains are indeed fixed, but the mobile radio active is still present. :( I'm barely getting 4h of SoT, with the lack of Amplify and Power Nap, so I'll probably revert back to 3.5.3 soon, even though it had issues. Also getting disappearing notifications on 4.0.2. Custom ROMs are a no since I need the camera to be at its best. Should I just keep flashing stock ROMs hoping I get lucky and it gets fixed? :confused:
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
The mobile radio active bug is unlikely to get fixed. Try leandroid with 4.0.2 but for me, 3.5.4 with FK kernel, Amplify and Greenify work better for battery.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Tozenator:
Is this a device or ROM specific bug?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Bantersaurus:
I'm experiencing this issue, too. I'm on 4.0.2 and my battery usage numbers are ridiculous.

http://imgur.com/9SUkMja

Combined, Android OS and Google Play Services took up 25% of my battery. How the **** is that possible?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
The bug seems to be related to Android and it's present since Lollipop, according to this it seems that all AOSP ROMs can be affected potentially (I am soffering this since Lollipop installed on my Nexus5.. with the OP3T at proportional level, nothing changed).

At this purpose I would like to give a try to MIUI as soon as there is any global porting available for the OP3T :)

A lot of users are having this issue (I am one of the "a lot" apparently :crying: ).

You can have a look to more reporting on the official "MobileRadioActive" Google bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/is...tail?id=190396

Are you experiencing this issue starting from the upgrade to Nougat or you were in the same situation also before the upgrade?

Taking for example my configuration, I am having the same battery life on Oxygen OS 3.5.4 and on Oxigen OS 4.0.2 and on both versions, if I am on mobile data, the first app on my battery stats is "Google Play Services" and it seems to be the effect, in my case, of the Mobile radio active bug.

If you are experiencing this battery drain only from the Nougat update you can be lucky, I read about a lot of people that solved the "AndroidOS" abnormal battery drain by performing a cache clearing from recovery.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Bantersaurus:
I didn't have this issue prior to 4.0/Nougat, but I've already wiped the cache repeatedly and tried every other trick anyone's suggested. They used to both be at around 1 - 2% usage and now they've skyrocketed. Not to mention that my notifications are pretty random. I have my reddit app set to check every 15 minutes, but I'll routinely get notifications that are an hour late.

I can't go back to pre-4.0 because it fixed the mysterious issue that'd wake my phone at night and leave the it awake all night.

In general, I'm pretty unimpressed with OP's software.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
I dislike to hear this, maybe unfortunately you are one of the user for which every Nougat update of OOS made the battery drain even worse :(

Really hoping that if this is your case, OnePlus will solve this in a near future release.

In the meantime, have you given a look also to the post of the guy who disabled swiftkey to solve his battery drain problem? :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
SwiftKey uses a fair amount of CPU cycles behind the scenes as does any browser and Facebook. Funnily enough, ensuring these are closed tends to shut down the modem and the MRA bug disappears.

My own experience of the Mobile Radio Active bug is that it isn't always present, and doesn't always trigger. Sometimes I can run the phone for days without seeing the problem. Others, I get it the second I turn on data. I've even restored a known stable backup before and suddenly it suffered from MRA. The above works around it well.

I've just moved over to FreedomOS which is a modded OxygenOS 4.0.2. So far it is performing well compared to official 4.0.2 and is on par with my previous config, even without xposed. Time will tell about the MRA bug. Let's cross our fingers.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Tozenator:
I had the same idea and switched to FreedomOS. Yesterday when I went to sleep Google Play Services was #2 on my battery list, right after the screen. Let's hope today is better. :(
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] zatarra77:
I'm facing to this bug, too.

I've already tried all the tricks that I saw on this forum and on the oneplus one.

I can't say if it was still present with the 3.5.x oxygen because, after receiving my device, I updated it to 4.0.1 (then 4.0.2) and unlocked the bootloader (with a full wipe, of course).

Sometimes i read that someone have solved the issued performing a full wipe. I should try but I wish to understand if its true because i don't want to waste time.

If it could be useful, I can choose to try the beta oxygen too

Thank you

Please, Stefa...check the link. I obtain a "The page you asked for does not exist."
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
Same experience with MRA also here :rolleyes:

Waiting for your news on the FreedomOS experience :)

Sorry guys for the wrong link,

here the right one: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=190396
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
Holy crap. If I hadn't downloaded a 5gb file, I'd be heading for 10h SPT with FreedomOS, leandroid, greenify and data management enabled in the OS. This is insane. Google services is #5. Android system #2. But neither are actually excessively draining battery now.

I really suggest you set up battery optimisation and configure background data from the data settings menu. This is awesome.

I ruined it by downloading a large file with my screen off, so I'm going to try to hit 10h tomorrow.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
Very interesting! Thanks for your feedback.

Have you reached this result on mobile data right?

Continue to looking forward to your experience with FreedomOS ;)
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Tozenator:
Still testing my battery life, currently at 66%, but I dug into the mobile data settings like suggested by [MENTION=2999810]damiensturdy[/MENTION]. I presses the 3 dot menu in the upper right corner -> Data saver and found a setting, "Unlimited data allowed" (name might be different since I don't use English). I went through the list and Google Play Services was the only app that was allowed unlimited data usage. I unchecked it. I don't know if that helps, and if it only works when Data saver is active.

Edit: the setting was for allowing unlimited data usage WHILE Data Saver was active, without Data Saver it won't help. :(

I'm also going to look into Leandroid in a few cycles. :)

Does Data Saver affect everyday use in any way, like notifications being late or not being pushed at all, etc.?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
Yes those are the settings. I have data saver enabled and have culled Google at services from unlimited access.

Data saver is likely to delay data based notifications, like google cloud messaging. With leandroid running, you can then control how frequently they're checked. I have mine set at hourly intervals. You could probably do half hourly without much loss, but at the end of the day even 5 minute intervals saves battery. The important thing is you can control it. :D
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
Ok, still headed for 7h SOT even with a chunk of time spent downloading data.

This is the best battery life I have ever seen on any mobile. Today's usage would have killed my finely tuned version of 3.5.4 in 5 hours at a guess.

I've now applied a dark theme via substratum (careful, do not apply to system components or android framework) to further increase SOT. I am excited to see the results.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
Oh yeah, and no MRA bug triggered so far. This isn't new to me, I expect it'll appear in a few days, bit this is very promising so far. FreedomOS ftw so far!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
Thanks for the continuos feedback mate, really interesting!

I will give a try to FreedomOS in the next days ;)
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
I'll try to document exactly what features I installed to make sure you get the same config. But all in all it looks like I finally just moved over to Nougat :D
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] OcazPrime:
Best way i could tell you to fix this is to reinstall your cell radio driver. I highly recommend the latest Freedom OS 1.1 running nougat. Ive gotten amazong battery life so far. Averaging 8 hours of Screen on time and i play games on my phone like crazy. Loving my insane battery drainer Terraria lately. Just reinstall that radio driver and you should be okay. I've actually never seen Google play services come up in my battery monitor. It always drains less than 30 mAh from my battery.

Use opera vpn to connect to a country that has the nougat update available before flashing this rom though. Very dangerous if you dont!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
Thanks a lot for your suggestions! Do you know if and where the radio driver are available for the OnePlus 3T? I've searched for something usefull on internet but nothing found :)

Oh! I didn't know this, thank you ;)

My wish was to install FreedomOS as second rom using MultiRom, also in this case I need to pass through a Marshmellow version updated at Nougat? :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] OcazPrime:
The radio drivers are usually never seperate from the ROMs they come on. I do believe a radio driver is only built to run to run with its current os build. I wouldnt multirom myself on any device but you are free to do so. Sounds dangerous to me especially bouncing between android 6 and 7. Id say just use the current FreedomOS build primarily and run with that. The installer is wonderful, battery life is awesome. I posted this about an hour ago before u replied to it, been playing a game ever since and only went down 5% battery. If thats not a seller idk what is
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Tozenator:
Back with my results. No Leandroid and no Data saver. Getting bad drain from Google Play Services and Android System, but my SoT is 6 hours 30 minutes, which is probably one of the highest SoTs I've ever gotten. This is with my battery going from 90% to 22%, if I had done a full charge it would've been even higher. I'm confused. :eek:

Going to try with Data saver and Leandroid tomorrow or the day after.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Tozenator:
Kind of offtopic, but why not system or android framework? Will that screw things up? I didn't install substratum in the start but I'm thinking of giving it a try. :)
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
Boot loop, or failure to open the themed sections.

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

I can see you've got the Mobile Radio Active bug. Quite severely too!

Get leandroid set up etc. :)
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] zatarra77:
I think that it's crazy that Google search have an alarm rate of 11/min!!!

I turned off almost all the search option!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
So after a few days, my battery has started to fall dramatically. It isn't MRA this time, but instead, the processor is not ramping down it's frequencies properly. I'm constantly at 2.3ghz and around 60% CPU utilisation. I had seen this on Nougat based ROMs for the Oneplus One too. Disappointed to see this nosedive after a few days.

I'm going to try to get to the bottom of it as I have now become familiar with Nougat and quite enjoy it. Fingers crossed.

....CPU usage is from System Server.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Tozenator:
Do you use Swiftkey? A lot of people have been reporting that it's the culprit. There was a thread about it here in Q&A but I can't find it anymore. The reported symptoms match. :)

[MENTION=2999810]damiensturdy[/MENTION], mind posting your Leandroid settings? Going to try it out tonight.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
Nope, SwiftKey was removed right away. This is a CPU usage of 60% rather than the 6% or so A

SwiftKey is using. So far it is looking like it might be substratum layering that's doing it (!?)

Hold on will take snapshots.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] damiensturdy:
Leandroid current settings. I've got one hour intervals for data and sync which suits my daily use perfectly.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Tozenator:
Thank you! I get a lot of important notifications, that 2G setting will ensure everything gets through even with the 1 hour interval. Might whitelist Spotify if songs start to lag on 2G. Also whitelisted my home wifi. Looking forward to testing battery life tomorrow.

I checked my substratum and it seems to behave normally. I only use it to remove some stuff on the lock screen, though.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
This thread on the OnePlus community can be very interesting: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ces-battery-drain.490085/page-7#post-15680552

Someone was able to solve the drain issue on Nougat just performing this operation:

Click on Google Play Services, scroll down and click on the "Modify system settings" select No and confirm the change.

Hope this can help someone ;)
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] TeddySika:
Do you know the negatif effect by disabling the modify system setting?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Tozenator:
I also read about disabling the modify system permission in Google Play Services, and promptly did so. Earlier today I had 4 hours of SoT with 17% left, then I disabled the modify system setting and charged to full. I went on to continuously use a very battery draining app for many hours, now I'm sitting at 4h SoT and 50% battery. No wifi, data only. Google Play Services is still up there in the battery chart but the drain seems to have lessened by a huge margin, and it's below the screen now. It might be too early to say, but I definitely got my hopes up. No downsides as of yet, seems safe. :o

Loving LeanDroid, it's basically free 30-60 minutes of SoT, would reccommend.

I also disabled aggressive doze, and it seems to have fixed my disappearing notifications bug. Didn't seem to help much anyway.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Stefa.:
I didn't read about side effects of this operation, so unfortunately I can not answer to your question.

I think that this method can worth the tray considering that it helped lot of people :)
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] TeddySika:
I disable modify system setting but google play service draining more than before.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] C3C076:
This is what helped me when I was experiencing high battery drain from Google Play Services (caused by NlpWakelock and NlpCollectorWakelock).

1) locate Google Play Services in app list

2) choose to uninstall updates (confirm to revert to factory version)

3) open Play Store and update Google Play Services

Some other hint that may help but I can't confirm whether it actually works:

1) Open Location Settings and cycle through Device only -> Battery Saving -> High accuracy

2) Set location mode to whatever you prefer to use.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] TeddySika:
i dont understand what do you mean by cycle through device only
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] C3C076:

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] C3C076:
No. It's GravityBox Xposed module which I developed.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] android.outliner:
From the Battery Settings and from 'Better Battery Stats' I saw, that Google Play Services kept my device awake (active) all the time. So no deep sleep of the processor any more.

I followed the instructions from someone above to delete all data of the Play Services in the App Settings and afterwards deleting the cache partition in TWRP. This cured everything for two weeks or so. The drain started again yesterday. The same procedure repaired it again.

Not pretty, but until a definite solution is found I can live with it. Without Xposed I don't want to upgrade to Android 7. All in all I am very satisfied with the device.
