[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Eric214:
Actually you are missing the point. The point being is do what you can to make you battery last longer, so when you charge it at the end of the day it's at 50% or better. I use my phone all day for work, 30 plus email replies, hour or 2 of calls plus YouTube, what'sapp, texting web surfing an I get about 3-4 hours sot and I get home with about 50-60% battery. So when I charge the phone, it's not from 20% or less... That's what looks the life of the battery.

For example, my Nexus 6p I had for 18 months, when I sold it the capacity from Accubattery stated 92% capacity. I Hardley saw a difference in my battery life 18 months later. Same with my op5, it was showing 96% capacity after 11 months.

No one will charge their phone every 2 days if after one it's at 50% since everyone wants a fully charged phone as usage varies day to day. Do your logic isn't sound in this case. You want want as much battery as possible remaining when you go to charge reach night, not constantly charge all day to keep it up. So battery conservation as much as you can is the key

guys i am on oos 5.1.5 , i am not rooted and i have been getting drain of 15-20% in a 8 hr sleep period

i factory resetted my phone and there was no drain in the first night after factory reset

only 1% see drained in 10 hrs

but since the next day the overnight drain has been back and it has been draining 15-20%

can someone plz tell how do i fix it there are no apps running in background as far as i know becayse i hibernate them using greenify
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Xebeck:
.

You probably load some app that is effing with it...
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] tdssmarty16:
but bro i installed all the apps right after factory reset and i dont even use many apps

i just installed 10 to 12 apps

and there was no drain on first night but since the next night drain started to happen
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Xebeck:
.

That's the thing...

The app takes its effect once you start using it.

Which you probably do after the first night.

I'm no expert( far from it)

Just seems logical with how you've put your query.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] umangbobda:
I am facing similar battery drain issues where overnight battery drain is 20% in 9 hours in standby mode. Its just sitting idle on the table doing nothing still the battery drain is huge. Its consistent since day 1. Is there any measures against it to fix it.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] ThunderBaby:
OnePlus may know that problem coming by adding a feature called Scheduled power on/off.

We can set it up in Settings -> Advanced -> Scheduled power on/off.

I lost ~18% of battery on the first night with my OP6, then I remembered some reviewers on Youtube mentioned about that feature. Last night is the second night and by using Scheduled power on/off , I lost ~1% of battery.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] vibrantliker:
How did you set it up?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] ThunderBaby:
I usually wake up at 6:15 and sleep at 23:00, so I set time for power on at 06:00 and power off at 23:00.

Yours habit may different but just make sure that during the time interval is set up you don't have to use your phone. Otherwise it runs well.

PS: In my opinion, I believe that the draining battery problem comes from Android, it's like starting from Android 8.0, Google puts AI in to diagnose your phone overnight to figure out what is the best due to user's behaviors.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] vibrantliker:
Ok. Thanks. Doing this, you noticed improvement?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] ThunderBaby:
When your phone is off, it does not consume much of the battery (all tasks in the background turned off). The result is when I wake up this morning, just ~1% of battery lost in total. Besides, the feature automatically turns your phone off at night and on at day due to your setting, so I see it's pretty convinience.

PS: Actually, there is another way as a guy mentioned in page 4 to open Developer mode then turn on the Wifi filter. If you don't wanna turn off your phone, you should try that way first.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] LeKeiser:
It means that one of those apps is not working properly. The fact that you didn't have a drain the first night doesn't mean that everything was alright. Means one of them, or more, was just starting and...

I would do a factory reset again and I would install ONLY one app at a time, especially the ones that are "special"

By the way, what apps are you installing?

Get rid also of Greenify now, you'll install it later but you need first to find out which app is causing this drain.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] gwzbenjamin:
Thanks for the tips. How to disable push notifications per app? Thanks

What do you often charge to? 85% ? Or 100%?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Eric214:
I always charge to 100%. I've never seen any ill effects from doing so.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Cst79:
So what if a close family member of yours is very ill or has suicidal thoughts and needs your help ? Turning off the phone or turning on airplane mode to save battery is probably the most insane thing one can do, especially for the purpose of saving battery.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] ThunderBaby:
So last night I started to use your approach that we open Developer mode then turn on the Wifi filter. With Wifi and cellular network turned on all night long, this morning I just lost ~4% of battery.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] randomA:
Turning on battery saver function before going to sleep should also work well enough.

Did anybody try that yet?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] skeeter123:
How did you wipe only cache from Recovery? (Stock Recovery I assume...) I only see "data and cache"...

Cheers!

Battery drain was happening to me as well 20% in 9 hrs overnight. Turns out I had not restarted the phone after I got OxygenOS 5.1.5 update. Also I did wipe cache from the recovery mode and it did the job. Now standby time is fantastic - 4% in 9 hours and battery seems ever lasting. Try these steps it should work out. And to get to the recovery mode, enable developer options and then there is an option which says enable recovery in reboot, enable that. Then once you press power button and select Reboot it will show option of recovery mode select that and then wipe the cache.[/QUOTE]
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] mikex8593:
WiFi on, Bluetooth on, GPS on, both SIMs active.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Septfox:
I'm also of this opinion. One of the best things about having a cellphone is that you're reachable, always. If you only want to be reachable by family and other important people, that's why modern Android offers schedule-based notification/call filtering. Though, from what I've seen of AOSP Do Not Disturb it's kind of garbagey...sure do hope OnePlus improved that.

-----

Turning off mobile networking and especially wifi (which uses much, much less power than mobile data) is silly too. Yes, power is saved, but if your idle usage goes up by an order of magnitude while you have internet access, you have other issues. High idle usage while connected to a network is a symptom of something else's misbehavior, the connectivity itself isn't the problem.

BetterBatteryStats is a pretty good way of finding out for sure what's keeping the CPU awake, and doesn't seem to require root these days (as long as you're willing to issue some ADB commands), I'm really surprised to see nobody mentioning it.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] b.huss2:
I actually mentioned it a couple of pages back. It's too easy to see what's jacking up your battery. Better battery stats tells you exactly what's going on, and google search will most likely lead you an answer. No root required.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] vibrantliker:
I've never been good at better battery stats. Is it kernel wake locks or partial wake locks that show what's burning battery? Also in BBS my deep sleep is at 8 % right now and an hour ago it was at 100%.

This battery is wacky.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] b.huss2:
Look for partial wakelocks. Also keep an eye on deep sleep. The more you eliminate the partial wakes, the more deep sleep you'll get, and of course battery life gets better.

Your results are probably only since unplugged, so if you pulled it off the charger recently, then I could see how you deep sleep results would swing like that.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] randomA:
yeah, also, how do you stop wakelocks once you find them?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] b.huss2:
Haha, that's where it gets tricky. Try Google searching it. If you can't find answers bring it here. I'm not an expert by any means but I'd certainly be willing to help if I can.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] yourtitan:
I lost almost 13% overnight with wifi off. Any help will be appreciated! :)

Cleared cache and trying
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Septfox:
Ah, must have missed it. Yea, BBS one of those that's remained persistently helpful through the years, probably one of the best utilities made for Android. Bit of a sleeper too, even after all this time it's still not well-known...hopefully that changes as more and more people realize it can run rootless now.

Kernel wakelocks can be important for finding bugs or inefficiencies (e.g. the msm_* and bluetooth wakelocks from older Snapdragon SoCs), but in newer stock ROMs where it's assumed the OEM is half-competent at basic development they're usually misleading; for example anything that keeps the screen awake will show up as the display wakelocking the phone, or anything transferring data will show up as a mobile data/wifi wakelock, etc, which is generally less than helpful.

Partial wakelocks and to an extent Alarms and Processes can shed more light. If something is showing up under Partial Wakelocks, you can try to look under Alarms to see if it's there as well, tap it, and find out what specifically it's doing to wake the phone so often.

Or, if it's something known to be garbage (*coughFacekbookMessengercough*), just nuke the app :v

You could post screenshots of the biggest offenders for suggestions if you like, though, starting a new thread for it in Q&A might be better than doing it here.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Vinegar Joe:
Cross-posting from the SoT thread but may be more relevant here:

From the GSMArena review: https://m.gsmarena.com/oneplus_6-review-1776p3.php

OP5T: 82hr total - 22 talk - 10 browsing - 16 video = 34 standby

OP6: 76hr total - 27 talk - 9 browsing - 14 video = 26 standby

I can understand the difference in browsing/video times because the screen is bigger and they both have the same battery.

But what the hell is going on with that standby time? Something is wrong with this phone.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Cst79:
I really don't understand why people are unhappy with this phone's battery life, I keep getting stellar stand-by times along with very good SOT over the same periods. The Snapdragon 845 seems to me like a very well-optimized chipset, much better than 835. Of course, playing games and installing battery hogs like Facebook that spy on you every time will drain your battery a lot faster, but for my usage as a business user this phone provides excellent battery. And the 5.1.6 seems to make it even better, reducing night-time battery drain, I am in the process of evaluating it. These screenshots are my last couple of charges (5.1.5).
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:
because everyone is not lucky like you...and to be honest I'm used to get 8hohrs of sot on my previous phone with same battery capacity... that's why not happy...4-5 hour is very little to those people who are used of getting 7-8 h of sot
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Vinegar Joe:
I don't understand how people can get 48hrs standby and 5hrs SoT when reviews like GSMArena and other people in thread put it at more like 24hrs standby. Why the massive difference? I doubt GSM installed loads of apps before doing tests.

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Xebeck:
Last night from 2300 to 0700 hours... ie 8 hours...

Dropped from 34% to 32%.

WiFi and mobile data off.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] randomA:
I don't know how the WIFI item can possibly be using most of the battery.

Even used the battery saving guide items to reduce, but WIFI remains the single most battery draining item in my phone.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] romanpatel:
How?? Any settings??
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] tWoBrO:
I think it's the way I use the phone nothing to do with settings. But i can tell you what I use and don't use. Most of the things, if not all, it's just the way I like to use the phone and have nothing to do with saving battery.

Low brightness, no vibration at all, turn on location/bluetooth/NFC/4G only when needed, Wi-Fi always turned on (turn off when sleeping) , no gestures when screen is turned off, dark theme.

No notifications on Facebook and Instagram, don't like it and don't need it, and no data on the background for this two.

Have Google Backup turned off. Just something I'm trying now, not sure how and if that helps.

But I don't game, at all, and i almost don't use the camera, I use YouTube and other streaming videos apps a lot, that helps with the SoT. I use Tapatalk, Chrome (trying Samsung browser ATM), Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Google Keep, Deezer by bluetooth when driving, GPS apps when needed, Telegram, Messenger, couple of SMS and phone calls, that's pretty much it.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] That's Nobody:
Drained 80% overnight. Second time it has done this. Reboot fixed it last time but it's unpredictable. Awake all night, no SOT. Happened since downloading the latest update from Oxygen Updater app. See screenshot of battery drain.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] LeKeiser:
And of course, you have done a wipe cache right after the update, right?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Xebeck:
Updated to 5.1.6 a few days back...

Not rooted or anything.

Initially improve in battery life.

But since today after noon

It's draining like HELL.

I mean over last 20 mins with WiFi and data off

It went down 18%. And it's warmer to touch even on standby.

It went down by 3 % while writing this post.

help.

Not added any new app that wasn't here before.

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] LeKeiser:
5.1.8 here and everything is fine

maybe it's time for you to reset factory and install one at a time your apps and see which one is draining your battery. Unless a soft like Accubattery shows you what's draining during the night.

I also noticed that the standby drain has been relatively bad on 5.1.7 and 5.1.8.

OOS 5.1.6 was the golden version and I'm pretty beaned that it's not as good anymore. (Yes, I did clear cache after updating.)

Not sure which forum did you watch but it's surely not this one, I have not seen a "horror" review on this phone. Below are my last two charges...as you can see, I cannot get *under* 2 days, sometimes 2.5 days of stand-by, especially since 5.1.7 and 5.1.8 update things have improved by significantly.

For anyone having issues since 5.1.7, just wipe the cache and maybe read the battery optimization guide from the general section.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] b.huss2:
Horror reviews lol. I've had lots of Android and most all the Samsung flagship phones in the past, and this is this best battery life I've ever had. If you're seeing horror reviews, it's like [MENTION=7815191]LeKeiser[/MENTION] said above, this must be a small majority with specific issues causing these problems.

Lol wut? The battery on this phone is insane. I thought I was going to get less then my op5 but I'm actually getting a bit more... Same exact apps, set up and system settings. I'd say I'm getting about 10-12% better battery. I'm getting 2% idle drain overnight (7 hours) sot is anywhere from 9 to 11 hours med to heavy use, each day is different. My combine sot/idle drain is 1.9%-3.6% per hour. But actually since 5.1.8 and ex kennel 1.05 it's going up. AccuBattery had my averages at 12h12min sot and combined 46h34min. It's not up to 14h7min sot and combined 51h21min.

Same apps and usage. The horror, it's watching people buy $800 phones and getting 5 hours sot ha ha

This is just for today with 1:30 min of music and video on YouTube on the train ride home. Not super heavy but my screen was off for the YouTube music (YouTube Vanced) so my deep sleep was only 70% and you can see me averages.

i think i spoke too soon.

on 5.1.7 it was pretty good, but now on 5.1.8 the standy drain has become much worse again!

yep, wiped cache as well but this time around it didnt work.

same here man. and i even followed all guidelines to to stop wifi consumption.

Samsung with OREO is ridiculous.

With op6 I only faced yesterday's random reboot with 40% battery.

Today, after charging, seems to be draining a bit more (6% in 1hr of use - deezer streaming)

Estimation of 7h of battery lasting... Strange. First time in 2 weeks.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] RiTCHiE007:
Yea indeed, samsung on oreo is horrible. Funny thing is that its a modem 4G problem and that S9, S8 and S7 phones have this problem. If i dont turn off 4G and switch it to 3G before going into flight mode then i get a 20+% battery drain over 8 hours and this S7 had all sorts of problems on day 1 when i bought it on release..... black screen of death freezes at random, vibration motor making ****ed up sound that i had to replace under warranty and on top of that the drain so this is why i am done with samsung in general and i am really happy that i switched to oneplus because they seem to fix problems really quick.

From what i am reading on the oneplus forums is that there will be a new update in the next couple of days that will fix the drain so ill give them thumbs up for these fast responding OTA.

What kind of sot should I expect? Been considering about this phone. Here are some of the criteria, hope someone has a similar usage as me

1. Gps on high accuracy all the time

2. Google backup on for a few services namely contacts, chrome, calendar, app data etc

3. Always listening Google on

4. Ambient display and life to wake on

5. Dt2w off

6. WiFi ok 24/7 but not connected

7. Data on for 70% of the day

8. Screen off gesture on

9. No gaming, mostly Reddit, browsing, bluetooth music for few hours, 2 hours YouTube, 1 hour navigation

10. Cell signal is average

Yea it's a bit specific, but I hope with the above usage it could reach at least 1.5 days with around 6 hours sot
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Donnie Sins:
I got around 5-6 hours SOT in 1,5 day with mostly the same set up:

2. Google backup on for a few services namely contacts, chrome, calendar, app data etc: ✓

3. Always listening Google on: No, I've got this off

4. Ambient display and life to wake on: ✓

5. Dt2w off: No, I have this on

6. WiFi ok 24/7 but not connected: I switch between 4G and WiFi, like 50-50

7. Data on for 70% of the day: See #6.

8. Screen off gesture on: I have this turned off

9. No gaming, mostly Reddit, browsing, bluetooth music for few hours, 2 hours YouTube, 1 hour navigation: mostly browsing, reading and using Whatsapp

10. Cell signal is average: ✓ (average to good)

Edited no. 3.

For no.3, yea I think it has this feature.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] cazcryy:
This is pretty similar to my weekday usage, except I use less YouTube (maybe about an hour or less) and more navigation (1.5-2 hours). Also I turn WiFi off when not in use (about 10-12 hours a day). I have Google synching everything on my primary account, just email on 5-7 other accounts (I'm crazy). I would say most days I manage maybe 5-6 hours sot (really the biggest factor here for me is how bright it is outside because of close to 2 hours of nav) but def less than 1.5 days standby.
