[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CounterC:
Dear OP2 friends,

HUGE DISCLAIMER:

Below setup works for MY use and needs. If you are like me it will work for you too, if not go find information somewhere else and don't complain "I cannot get the same results" or things like that. It takes common sense and experience to achieve and understand below info. If you don't have common sense, I pity you, if you don't have experience it's OK. If you are polite and follow the XDA rules I don't mind answering your well structured questions, and maybe others don't mind too, there are a lot more experienced people on XDA than me.

If your question is related to any of the apps/threads mentioned below, please go to that (app) thread, that's why I have put the info right there, one click away.

battery life is something we all want to be endless, well we can't have that, but at least we can improve it from a certain point.

This is what I have been doing for the past weeks and the results are incredible, that's why I decided to share them.

First of all sharing this information is ambiguous because it's somewhat device and user dependent especially how people use it and what apps are installed.

I know that but I believe with the right approach you can get the same results as me, hopefully even better, on the OP2 and possibly other device as well.

I have 148 apps installed at the moment and sometimes even more than 200. If you control your apps properly there is no limit to the amount of apps installed related to battery life.

There are numerous threads on improving battery life out there already so please check out those threads first.

You can also post your BBS logs there, please don't do that in this thread as I will not investigate them.

Most useful info is already out there so I would appreciate it to go look there first before cluttering this thread. If not I will close this thread.

Let's get started:

improving battery life on Android is (unfortunately) always a combination of things, there is no 1-push button (yet).

In this case I use the following:

- privacy guard (baked in almost any Nougat ROM)

- custom kernel (I use Boeffla: original thread here, I use the Linaro version from ZaneZam)

- Greenify (original thread here)

- Wakelock blocker (built in ROM) + WakeBlock app (optional, original thread here)

- Alarm Blocker (built in ROM)

- Doze apps

- BetterBatteryStats (for finding your excessive wakelocks, thread here)

Obviously you have to be rooted to implement all of this.

The ROM of my choice is RR unofficial.

I like it because of the functionality and features but I believe any ROM with the above features should be able to achieve the same results.

Speaking of results, below screenshots are from my last cycle before writing this thread. One charge got me almost through 3 full days (66 hours).

I fully charged in the afternoon, got through the evening and the first night, then got through the full second day and night, then got through another full day and night and charged only again in the next morning.

If your still following, those are 66 hours of straight juice...

EXPLANATION:

There is ALWAYS a tradeoff between SOT (screen on time) and how long your battery will last in one cycle. On my below cycle you can see that I have "only" 4 hours of SOT but almost 3 days of battery life. That is light usage.

If I would use my phone more (more SOT) the battery life cycle would have been significantly shorter. If you complain to me that you "only" have 24hrs of battery life but you show me a SOT of 7-8 hours, I would consider that great battery life! It's all relative...

I have never used one battery cycle from 100% to 0% in one go so I don't know the max SOT I would get with my setup. I would guess around 6.5-9 hours depending on the activity (gaming <=> ebook reading, mobile data <=> wifi, ...). It's all relative...

The screenshots in the bottom of the post might bring clarity for you.

See the following posts for more explanation.
