Someone ask if P DP2rev2 is for daily driver, and i write what i see without wipe(and this clearly wrote), but now after Wipe (of course from recovery menu) i have same bad battery usage...

over night i lost 70% of battery, while 25% i try uninstall XDA Navigation Gesture, switch from NovaLauncher to default launcher, switch back some settings i set before in Developer Option...

but battery still rapid drain(1% per some minutes with light use (in settings, in launcher)), in developer option i not see "CPU usage" overlay, try some Apps from Play for "CPU monitoring per Apps" but not working, only per CPU, then i run DevCheck and see that CPU constantly switch to/back ~2GHz... 2208MHz 34%(4h), Deep Sleep 0%(13s)... then i run top via adb and see task com.evenwell.powersaving.g3 use 150% CPU with TIME 864:37.59...

i really want to know why you have really good (~ as me with Oreo) battery usage, also i see in your Settings/Battery screenshot is on top "About X days, Y hours left", but in me i see "Should last until about HH:MM"

BTW: yes i know is DP, yes i know with bugs, but this is thread about P Beta and about experience, about bugs, then if someone write problems, this not mean "f*ck*ing ROM", but this mean "I have this problem i write about it for others... ;)

EDIT: overnight (before as i write about today changes with 25% battery state), i have enabled Wifi/2xSIM/LTE/GPS/BT (same as before with Oreo)

EDIT2: big CPU load of com.evenwell.powersaving.g3 (minimal for now, try of course charge and see if battery still drain) i fix over adb by:

pm clear com.evenwell.powersaving.g3
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Oh man that's a long post [emoji16]

But really thanks alot for this info, for me ambient display isn't the issue.can you provide the app and the commands for the process (I am guessing terminal emulator with top) could be wrong though, I am goona Search this package to check issue source
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] liguangming1981:
Major problem with the roll back file - upon rolling back to Oreo, my phone now has no connectivity. Both wireless and mobile networks are non-functional.

And, since I'm in China, and there's a bug whereby I cannot set a proxy server for my wireless (needed for connection to Google servers) upon initial setup of Android P so I can't get my phone past the initial setup after doing a factory reset. So Oreo is out, and so is P. My phone is basically unusable until one of these problems is fixed. :(
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
can you please post your model number / specs ,there is a lot of things to try here

the most i got to this issue is with Oreo no connectivity ,fixed by deleting data and refllashing same file using adb from recovery

you can try the same for P,adb might give you a warning of older build number but it was OK in my experience

can't grantee this as i only tested it once so do it at your own risk
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
your phone must have activated "Developer Preview", click 5x on on "Settings/System/AboutPhone/Advanced/BuildNumber" and enable "Settings/System/DeveloperOptions/USB Debuging"

next you must have installed adb, i use GNU/Linux (Xubuntu), in this installation is doing by simply run:

sudo apt install adb

for install in Windows i try find info and find this on XDA: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

after you have adb installed, then on PC conencted to phone via USB cable, open terminal (command_prompt) and run:

adb shell top

and only look if for you too com.evenwell.powersaving.g3 eat CPU... from top you quit using key q

and finaly run:

adb shell pm clear com.evenwell.powersaving.g3

(this "only" clean database of powersaving, nothing destructions ;)
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] liguangming1981:
I'm on a TA-1062, but the HK / Taiwan Android One version, not the Chinese mainland version with different firmware. I tried deleting data and reflashing the same file, but still have the same issue. :(
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
I tried to find the culprit using Wakelock Detector (non-root) but it seems all wakelocks due to apps are normal as much as i used them. Still the phone is awake 83% of times during the last 4 hours with Screen Time of 40 mins. There is some problem with the system for sure.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Your on the 6GB version? Maybe try the TA-46 version it's uploaded here few posts back
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] kirankowshik:
I use roll back or flashing using Nokia recovery and choosing update from SD card. It's lot easier than adb and working g very fine
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
i though have installed adb for many year's, but install is i think really simple (but in windows is little complicated that in GNU/Linux), anyway after you have once installed, is here in your computer ;) and using one command with keeping all your date is better, that flashing/sideload via recovery...

also for me NOT fix battery drain Wipe in recovery, after sideload of P... maybe because i after Wipe use same login/account with restoring me apps+data...

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

you try this? show your top too cpu eating com.evenwell.powersaving.g3?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] salahmed:
Anyone might experienced the situation when an app start to misbehave or force closing even when you are running a stable Android release, so imagine what chaos the Beta Android can do with almost every app not updated yet with Android P compatibility. So it is more likely to have such issues that affect battery life due to not optimized apps (even system ones)

See Android Beta overview
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Finally did it ,had to reinstall my bionic Beaver (windows boot issues)

Top command doesn't show me any usage as mentioned I included screenshot sorted by usage

Also did clear package data (will report usage after full charge)View attachment 4533869
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
btw: on screenshot is sorted by usage MEM and not CPU ;)
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
i used

adb shell top -s 10 -q

what is the correct command?:confused:
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
[MENTION=9183279]xidian[/MENTION] simple top (adb shell top) without parameters ;) -q is quiet and not need hide header with mem usage, -s 10 is sort via column 10 as MEM, but CPU is 9 and is default also without use -s parameter

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

anyway, for me look that fix using pm clean is work for me, and battery is sure better, after 3hours from unplug from charger i have 92%, SoT 1h and info about remaining say 1d19h
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] thdj:
Hi there try this : https://www.reddit.com/r/Nokia/comments/7gwqys/nokia_5_on_android_712_choppy/

seems to be working, at least for me. Battery usage is far better than it was before
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Brotuck:
The battery life is not good but not bad either. Does anyone have this cpu usage ? (Google play services)

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nokia 7 plus met Tapatalk
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Yes thought so :D,here is the new screenshot also not much of the app

but after pm clean the battery is alot better :) showing 1 day and 16 hrs after full charge so this did help

i am also investigating in the user experience tab in system --> about --> advanced maybe its the reason (charge / discharge on/off comparison) thanks alot:good:
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Seems worth a try but i don't know if disabling these apps affect the system:rolleyes:

what do you think [MENTION=9089546]k3dar7[/MENTION]
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
i don't know for sure what exactly this services do and if is not need for some wanted function and without more investigate i don't try disable it...

if you want some more "speed feel" you rather (if already not have) set in DeveloperSettings:

Windows+Transition+Animator*scale to Off, "Force GPU rendering" to ON

for more fit on LCD "Drawing/SmallestWidth" to 505

for better battery life (MAYBE) disable "Mobile data always active", and in Settings/Apps disable backgroud running and/or data for Apps what you not really need , and disable Settings/Display/AdaptiveBrightness if you think that LCD is more light that you need and/or is frequently changing to more/less (if not problem for you change it manualy if change room/sun/light/dark...)
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Ray_lau:
I found the Battery Manager and Background Activity Manager Don't tune on at the same time,it can solve the Battery drains and hot issue.

For example, you can only turn on battery management and turn off background activity management.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
I tried this.. it helped to a small extent. Now the battery lasts upto 9 hours instead of 8 hours earlier. But still not good for a daily driver. It seems rolling back is the only option for now.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Did you try [MENTION=9089546]k3dar7[/MENTION] solution? for me it extended the battery for an extra 8 hrs so far (really notable usage deference)

also i disabled User Experience Info collection form system settings and monitoring changes ,didn't this solution as i think it might brick the system do you have any issues with the changes?

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

Also this is my current usages (says two days) not buying it [emoji16]
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
Yes i tried the solution but it didnt work. The drain was too much and wakelock detector was showing awake times as 92% with no apps misbehaving. I just reverted back to oreo again as i cant charge the phone every 7 hours or carry a nokia branded heating pad in my pocket.?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
Deleted
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
?? yep its mostly for the best , the bugs for me is minimum , but next time the battery decides to take a vacation i am reverting also :D.

but the good side is if you charge your phone long enough you can get exact temperature to cook breakfast ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
? I wish the phone was IP67 rated.. i would have used it for making omlettes or boil tea too!?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Gravemind2015:
Can the phone withstand a little drip rains? The ones that have negligible size of droplets (before the actual rain), considering the included case is applied.

I am sure I can't wash this thing, but maybe wipe my wet palm with the surface upside down to clean it [emoji3].

Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
I dont think that would be a problem.. but i wont take any chances at all! A thin transperent plastic lets you operate the phone anyways so consider using it.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
GSMarena doesn't disclose this but a lot of YouTube videos and users confirmed the phone is IP54 splash proof means it should be OK in the rain but i wouldn't risk it if i didn't have too, a tea kettle is a lot cheaper to buy and repair :D
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] riscum:
Hey guys.

Couple of days into the new beta.weird annoying bug.

Phone keeps asking me for pin number if my first sim card. And Everytime it does so, changes the default sim for calls and sometimes SMS to the secondary sim. Does this happen to any of you ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] salahmed:
Maybe the SIM card is not supported, it is mentioned in the known bugs in the official Nokia support forum.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
I agree , couple of things to exclude of list of possible reasons:

- try another sim

- remove or change pin

- switch sim slots

- reboot and use only sim 1

this may be happening because of VoltE but a lot of users here including me reported that its working correctly.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
i can confirm, that me previous problem (first post, more info) with battery drain have sure fixed by "adb shell pm clear com.evenwell.powersaving.g3" :)

after this, during two days, phone is not warm when no use(an also not if used(i not gaming)) and no cpu eating, battery life: 2d2h from charge, SoT ~6.5h, remained 15% (all time enabled Wifi(mostly on range/connected), 2xSIM, BT(not used, only pair with SBC for SmartLock), GPS)

also i must mentioned, that DP2rev2 is really stable, fast, smooth and (for me) working all apps i use before with Oreo, camera now have option of 2x zoom, bluetooth headset work (for music and for (gsm)phone call) and is (for me) usable as daily driver...
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Great, this solution fixed the battery issue for me as well,

The device Will stay more than a day and 3 to 4 hrs on normal usage (WiFi/3g even some gaming)

All my apps are working correctly ,and it's usable as a daily driver

But still the issue with audio in video recording and Bluetooth overall not working
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] kirankowshik:
Anyone tried footejcam? Saw a few reports elsewhere that video recorded audio using this app
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] salahmed:
Is it even possible? I feel the flashlight color is less yellowish, less warm in color when using the latest Beta
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
i try it right now, and video have audio recorded, also a again try default Camera app and 3rd OpenCamera app, and find that both also record audio, but on low volume and also default Photo application don't play audio from this record (too not play audio with video from Footej), but same video play with audio via VLC...
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Are you saying the issue is with the player not the recorder?[emoji848][emoji848]

---------- Post added at 03:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

Yes it is I can easily confirm this,the issue here is the system is activating the white led only donno why
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
What i try say that is two issues ;) one is with low audio volume(or bad selected input channel?/used bad/less mic's?) in recorded video via default Camera app, second is totaly "muted" play in default Photo app (same if switch to it from Camera via small on bottom/right thumbnail, or if run Photo as snadnalone from Launcher and navigate to recorded video)...

Play this video via VLC player is not muted, but audio volume is low (also on 100% volume set)

Recored video via "Footej Camera" have normal audio volume, but too is not played directly from "Footej Camera" app or from Photo, anyway in VLC is played with audio and with volume that is on 2-3(?)x higher that in videos recorded via default Camera app.

btw: today have again problem with "com.evenwell.powersaving.g3 ~150% CPU eating" and battery drain, immediately after i change many (80 from 100) apps(non systems) to disable run in background, via Settings/Battery/BackgroundActivityManager... after again "pm clear..." apps in BackgroundActivityManager is reset to all disable (= all is enabled run in background), i don't know if problem is with one or some of p-non-compatible apps, or if problem is related to "misunderstanding" BagroundActivityManger with BatteryManager (what i have too enabled)...

---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

where you think? if i enable flashlight, then light is warm/yellow, if i enabla flash in Camera (in default or Footej) app, then is too warm/yellow (i don't know if used only yellow or both led)...
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Okay, i installed and tested with default , google , footej cameras / mx player , windows 10 player , vlc (both android and windows) and yep the issue is correct, the audio input is at max in all players but the default (google photos) and the input from both mics sounds clear to me ( no clutter) yet another weird issue to scratch your head :rolleyes:

for the flashlight issue i did the test with footej and default app and seems that the system defaults to using the white light only (save battery? wrong code?) BTW if u install any flashlight app form the store (i used torch) it will default to using the dual

(and i almost went blind trying to compare them :laugh:)

and i included the latest (adb shell top) screenshot , still no usage from evenwell but i am noticing a larger drop in battery than last time so i will clear it again and report
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] kirankowshik:
So as a summary, is footej recording video with sound while stock camera doesn't?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
No , both apps record audio but you need an external player like VLC to play it
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] avsroy:
I have been using Android P for over a month now - had a few initial hiccups with reboots then it settled down. Good battery life and no major issues. Just upgraded to the latest P developer preview yesterday - it's running smoothly for the past 12 hours - no issues.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Great, please check the issues mentioned below:

Bluetooth connection

Audio recording in video

and keep us posted on battery life

thanks :good:
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] avsroy:
No problem with Bluetooth Audio - tested with Bose SoundSport - for both music and phone calls.

Audio / soundtrack is missing in Video recordings - toggled through different resolutions - and front / back cameras - no difference - back to Charlie Cahplin era :)

Camera app is not recognising my SanDisk card - the phone is, as I can view pics / videos stored on the card
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vishal.kprasad:
What about battery consumption??
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] avsroy:
The battery consumption is same as DP1. Not experiencing any significant drain or heating during use. And standby is as good as before with 4G data and location turned on.

**UPDATE**

I had switched on the Battery Manager option (not Battery Saver) this morning. By the time I reached office (about a 1 hour drive) the phone was all heated up to >42 deg C (inside my laptop bag) and had lost about 30% charge during that 1 hour drive. I have now switched off the Battery Manager option and observing the battery life ...
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
don't try change settings in "Background activity manager", keep all switch here disabled

btw: what you have exactly problem with Bluetooh? for me working fine:

- headset: play music, phone call, show battery state

- car audio (Dasaita PX5 with Oreo): phone calls, read phonebook

- "mediacenter" (with GNU/Linux Debian): in home only connected for SmartLock

- keyboards Motospeed K83 and small Konig

---------- Post added at 04:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 AM ----------

is not missing, but Photo don't play sound, try another player (e.g. VLC) and you heard it ;)
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] xidian:
Great thanks for your feedback , i think the updated API of android 9 requires new access TO SD cards , as my sd card was also not recognized , after format it was easy

---------- Post added at 02:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 AM ----------

For me Bluetooth doesn't turn on at all ,i click the quick toggle it turns blue but nothing happens , in settings the app is says :

Turn on blutooth to discover nearby devices

and the switch is on all the time , tried with airplane mode , deferent headset ,laptop Bluetooth , speaker , no idea:rolleyes:
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
you try Settings/Apps(see all .. apps, click 3dots/ShowSystem)/Bluetooth/Storage/ClearStorage ?

edit: or "adb shell pm clear com.android.bluetooth"
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] avsroy:
Thanks - yes the Battery Manager option is buggy and does exactly the opposite of what it is meant to do!!!
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] liguangming1981:
Managed to get P set up again. Battery drain was as bad as ever, so I followed the directions in this thread to turn off the Battery Manager and do the "adb shell pm clear com.evenwell.powersaving.g3" solution, and the combination of these two seems to have done the trick - battery drain has totally stabilized (though AccuBattery is still reporting no deep sleep). I'll keep an eye on it for a few days.

A couple other questions:

1. Has anyone found a GCam mod that works with the P beta and that has Portrait mode?

2. Anyone else use Parallel Space? It doesn't seem to work with the P beta - every time I'd try to open it, it would just crash. I kind of need it as I have two WeChat accounts that I need to use, so I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this problem.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] kirankowshik:
Back to Android p beta with the power trick, switching off battery mgr and using greenify. Huge power saving and no heat. Camera video with audio working on my player with hw+ mode. Awesome
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] lhkakex:
Should I use this beta as a daily drive rom?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] avsroy:
Yes absolutely. Just do not touch Battery Manager or Background activity manager in the Battery section - that seems to make the phone power management go berserk.

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

Thanks very much for sharing the ADB option. It has resolved the power drain problem on my phone.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
The background activity manager is problematic even on Android Oreo. I just noticed it. I had enabled it and I always lost around 7 to 8 percent overnight but after disabling it I lose at the most only 2 or 3 percent during same period of time.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
Could you please post the battery stats after applying this fix? I have already rolled back to oreo 8.1 and would like to update again if the battery drain is fixed, just would like to see how it has helped you! Thanks for bringing this up to everyone!
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] lhkakex:
What if I use Google pay, can I use it on this beta ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] liguangming1981:
From AccuBattery. Not too bad - not really any worse than I was getting with Oreo. I should point out that I have to run a VPN at all times due to being in China so my battery life probably isn't as good as others'.

Only issue I note is that AccuBattery shows no deep sleep.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] salahmed:
This is my battery stats without any ADB commands or any anything, I only got that notification about XDA Labs are consuming more than usual of battery so added it to the restricted apps a few hours before that screenshot. All is on like Battery Manager, Backgrounds Activity Manager, etc

Full wipe, flash via recovery from SD card. It is good but can be even better
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
This seems nice.. i will install it again tomorrow and check it out.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
Thats really impressive.. the same what i get on Oreo. But do you feel that everybody should use adb to install or the method you used to install the rom from sd card? Will it matter?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] salahmed:
I don't think that will make a difference, my guess is there are some apps are misbehaving and luckily I don't have one
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
attached screenshot from actual state, sometime is better, sometime worse, anyway is sure many better that before fix... and also as i write in previous message, is NEED don't touch to BackgroundActivityManager and keep only BatteryManager learn from yours apps usage ;)
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
what mean "on"? you don't disable this service(i not) or you really enable in "Backgrounds Activity Manager" selective what apps can and what not run in background(if i this do, then have drain&cpu_eat problem)?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] kirankowshik:
Feeling good abt this battery usage roughly 2% per hr on normal usage
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] salahmed:
No I didn't blacklisted any app, only Battery Manager suggested that XDA labs is consuming too much battery so restricted it
