[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hi [MENTION=3170346]FKN[/MENTION]Q,

You are still doing a great job by sharing your knowledge over the forums and helping people.

In fact I think you were one of the people who let me switch to a custom rom last year..... ;)

About Pie, I totally agree. There is no way back, so we have to make the switch to Pie or keep 8.1 as long as Google is willing to make security patches for it.

But what I see in the description of Pie is more Artificial Intelligence, more control over how you use your apps and how much you use your apps, all kinds of information which can be shared with Google and it's friends to learn even more about their users or me as a person. Real advantages for me as a user?!? May be that my preferred apps which I use mostly will startup a little faster. That's all I could find which would be a benefit for me.

May be for other users Pie will bring more advantages ofcourse, but in the meantime I expect some issues again with missing Google packages, compatibility issues with some apps etc....

As said, there is no way back, we always have to look forward, that is evolution. In half a year or so we probably do not know any better as Pie is the way to go and we are getting used to it's interface, options, advantages and disadvantages.. ;)

Hi [MENTION=7857357]DrUnknownEMC[/MENTION],

I am still using Forcedoze and the 'Enable Doze for GMS Magisk Module' without noticing important delays.

Email is not that important for me, only hourly my mails are checked, other things like Facebook and Whatsapp are functioning normally without any delay.

But I agree, when you are too focussed on drain, you will have to accept delays, missing functionality etc.... I have good settings now without missing functionality. same as yours ;)

My drain over night is about 0.5-0.7% at the moment, normal usage around 10% which is in fact very good I think...

I am using AppOpsX and EX kernel manager for setting app permissions, wakelocks and other stuff like governors etc....

For me the perfect rom is GZOSP but then with integrated themes like for example Omni and other roms have. No extra features, no stuff I do not need or where another app is giving me more options or a better user interface then the integrated one.

Lean and mean ;)

You could use Battery Charge Limit app to limit charging automatically at 80%, but I think the most important is what you also mentioned; do not empty your battery completely but use a powerbank or your charger to charge again at least at 20% but better at around 40%.

As I see, the battery of the OnePlus 3T is pretty good. My previous phone was a OnePlus 3 which is now from my wife. When the OnePlus 3T came out I was a little scary about the higher voltage they used to get a larger battery capacity with the same battery, but it seems to have worked out pretty well.... My phone is from november 2016 and battery is still very good. With normal usage and completely charged (100%) I can even use it for at least three days without a recharge. I try to keep it at 80% all the time, so this is not the way I use my phone, but it still feels like a completely new phone ;)
