So, I'm going to charge the phone now

Screen on time - 12 hours

Time since last charge - 2 days (approx 49+ hours?)

Battery Level - 14%

Stock OnePlus 6 running Open Beta 13.

I don't believe that this is really repeatable for me without the same near perfect conditions (mostly dimly lit environment with strong WiFi).

However it's an interesting contrast to the severe battery drain that was present before I wiped the cache from the stock recovery menu.

Thanks

Intriguing, but pretty amazing.

I had this kind of battery life with a Redmi Note 5, which had a 4000mah battery and a S625 :D
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] divvykev:
Anyone know the difference in the dialer? OB13 has Version 4.1 which now has a spam bit in the main settings. IS this automatic now similar to Google phone or is it the ones we highlight? Of course since updating to 13 I dont seem to have had any spam calls. :)

I have the same...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] 80s Baby:
So I guess I'm not the only one. Someone here said that this issue wasn't present on beta 13 which led me to update it from 12 to 13

Is there any way to make esport mode default instead of game mode?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
Just for info, WiFi drains a lot on standby. Tried with stock, Smurf, and EX !

1.4% per hour. On 9.0.4, same config, 0.3% per hour.

Phone was in deep sleep 100% of the time according to BBS, so no wakelocks.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] spectrixx:
Where are you seeing percentage per hour, is it using a battery app?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
Yup, BetterBatteryStats !
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kozmo21:
Your drain has nothing to do with Wi-Fi. From the limited info from BBS, your drain is mostly from bad signal. It should be mostly/all great, or at least good signal... yours is mostly poor.

Btw, I don't know what version of BBS you're using, but that screenshot looks strange. No "Screen On" stat, or "Awake (Screen Off)", and you will NEVER see 100% deep sleep with the exact same time as the dump. If you want more info from BBS, post a valid dump file in the BBS thread.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RRSpikes:
That was probably me. It works just fine on both of my 6's. 1 stock beta and 1 rooted beta.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
The signal is the same as everyday, this is during a night of sleep near my bed. WiFi was on the top of the Android battery list. BBS didn't refresh straight away because of the OOS advanced optimization. In fact, I slept for 8h, but the stats were late, it refreshed a few seconds later :)

Rebooted the phone, and didn't touch it before the next morning, so actually no SOT is normal (Should have been like 25 seconds, but again, a bit of lag due to agressive doze).

Again, this is in the exact conditions as every other night, same apps, same setup. Usually, I get 0.3% hours, that's all I was saying. Got back to 9.0.4, everything is back to normal :)

And by the way, on stock OOS with a custom kernel, 99% deep sleep is pretty common during a night.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mixlex:
That's odd, I don't have that problem. My battery life is excellent. I lost 1% overnight. How can one person declare that a rom is defective when others are having no problems. Not trying to start a fight, just saying.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
You're right, this can totally be related to my setup. I'm just assuming it could be related to the ROM, because the same kernel and the same setup, idling in the same spot (same signal strength), I get much better results with 9.0.4.

Pixel Experience has also been showing worse battery than before since last week, maybe it's Gapps related too (An update to Play Services, ect)

This can also being a conflict between custom kernels and the new WiFi drivers/baseband that could be introduced with the Beta.

Of course I've seen this on a clean ROM with a clean flash :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] 80s Baby:
What version of magisk are you using?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
Just for info, same setup, same place so same signal, same Kernel, this night, only difference is 9.0.4 has replaced OB13.

It's much better, something is odd.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mixlex:
Yes, something is definitely different in ob13. I ran into a problem at first also. I've dirty flashed every beta without uninstalling magisk from the beginning. This time however I ended up with the boot loop to recovery. I had the uninstaller zip in my downloads so it wasn't a big deal, but something is different.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] spectrixx:
Everyone's set up is slightly different, I believe that it's helpful for a large number of beta testers to mention possible issues in case there are patterns.

I have noticed some peculiar behaviour with battery life on my current install of OB13, but I cannot yet tell if its to do with the ROM, the flashing method or something else.

When I first flashed - significant battery drain until I cleared the cache.

Second charge - 12 hours SOT over two days of use. Awesome.

Third charge - started seeing battery drain. Rebooted, battery drain returned to normal, which is approx 10% loss for each hour of SOT.

My phone is stock, dirty flashed from 9.03 > OB12 > OB13

I'm not really keen on doing a clean install, but I might end up going that way if I see any further intermittent drain.

How much SOT / standby time are others seeing with this ROM?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] neokeeper:
I haven't seen it mentioned about ob13 but it might be related to the call recording's issues (I have no idea how programming an os works so it's a completely wild guess): since the update, I've run into issues with the microphone from two different bluetooth headsets, where they just don't work. Is this a known issue or should i explore more? Are there steps i can take to try and solve it?

Thank you very much!

Edit: Sorry I forgot: my phone is 100% stock.

Edit 2: It's obvious but I know about the past issues with oneplus and bt, it's just never been a problem for me and my daily use of a bt headset until the new update. Also: as far as I can tell, it's only occurring with calls.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack_Sparrow_:
In my case OB12>>>>>OB13. I'm thinking about rolling back to 12...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] utkarsh102:
You will have to do a factory reset.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack_Sparrow_:
Security patch is the same, are you sure about factory reset?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mixlex:
If security date is the same you shouldn't have to factory reset. Local update method will tell you no, but using twrp will work. Just make sure you follow proper steps to keep twrp and root.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
Don't forget the difference between Formatting Data and Factory Reset !

Formatting the whole Data partition isn't needed when downgrading to a ROM with the same Security Patch, but you should always Factory Reset.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mixlex:
Okay, I will agree. Although I've done it dirty flashing with no problems, someone else with different configuration may have trouble. I certainly don't want to be responsible for someone else's headaches.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
Exactly. Dirty flashing can be perfectly fine, but there is always a precise setup where it will cause trouble :D
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] js931:
I dirty flashed over OB12 (TWRP blu_spark + Magisk 18.1) and nothing is different for me. Worked as it always did.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mixlex:
I've done it ten times before with no problems but some users change their configurations over a period of time. I added 4 magisk modules I hadn't previously used. I dirty flashed ob13 and got the boot loop to recovery. I uninstalled magisk from recovery, dirty flashed again and all was good. So it's not like I didn't know how to do it. Things can change.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirey:
Hi guys.

My 5% battery loss over night has disappeared.

I disabled all wifi settings which allows automatic scanning in ob13

Went to bed with 40% and after 8h. Still 40%.

I hope it was no coincidence :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dswwong:
How do I clear cache ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
You shouldn't from what i've read. Just let your phone charge for the night, it will delete what needs to be deleted, and it will rebuild it on it's own.

Read the article linked on this thread, very interesting.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/relation-charging-night-performance-t3908105
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] spectrixx:
To clear the cache -

-Turn device off

- Hold down both the Volume Down and Power key until you see a menu (hold them down for several seconds)

- Enter pin code if required

- Select your preferred language by using Volume keys (up/down) and the Power button to accept it.

- Select 'Wipe data and cache'

- Select 'Wipe cache'

- Confirm it.

- Select Reboot

Note - be careful with that menu, make sure you don't wipe all of your data :P)

I'm not going to comment on that article except to point out that testing two different phones in the hands of two different people, over different spans of time is not an accurate way of compiling battery data, nor comparing battery life. That test is meaningless.

is the latest oos or/ beta on February patch? I'm on a custom rom with February patch thus i need to know
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] meiax93:
Still January bro on OB13 and 9.0.4. I saw AOSiP got March patch security and TreskMod still on February if not mistake.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] leondestiny:
damn oos is slow!

I'm on custom roms because I'm getting better battery.

considered going back to oos for a while for its smoothness, but i guess i can't for now because I'm on a newer security patch.

oh well, I'll just wait abit more.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
The test was there for illutration purposes (But it still said phones were use quite in the same way).

The interesting part is the rest of the article, which explains how caching works above Android 7.0, why wiping the cache isn't useful, sometimes a bad idea, and why just letting it charge for a night will have better effects (or just running "cmd package bg-dexopt-job" to force the ART cache verification and building process) ...

What is said in this article isn't just pulled out from nowhere, it's the result of a direct read of the AOSP source code. It's how it's meant to work. That's why Android 9 A/B phones don't even have a dedicated cache partiton anymore ...

But well, do as you wish !

I've personally seen a drastic improvement in battery life and performance just after leaving my phone charge for two nights. Like a 60% increase of SOT and way bettery standby times.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] spectrixx:
Fair enough, that's a quite significant improvement.

Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] doc_v15:

They do not always have to integrate the latest security patch into OOS..

Sometimes they only affect pixel devices and sometimes OP has already patched a vulnerability itself..

And every time, there are also other updates for the devices from OP. And that's better than any fake updates like Samsung and others sometimes do, just to proudly announce that they are always up to date...[emoji6]

It's hilarious how most people obsessed with security patches are also running rooted ROMs. Relax. No one is trying to hack into your pornographic browsing history.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dragos281993:
HA ha! So true.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] leondestiny:
yeah but im only interested in those patches because of swapping between roms, for instance if im on a aosp rom which has a newer sec patch than oos's then id run into problems trying to flash latest of oos.

or is that not the case?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Roger.T:
You're right. They should have the same patch level...

Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS 6 mit Tapatalk
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] casual_kikoo:
Agree with you on the first part.

But totally disagree on the second. It's not about hacking our "pornographic history". It's just about the fact that those security patch level actually (or at least, sometimes) mean something.

When you have an important CVE disclosed (https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-1224/product_id-19997/Google-Android.html, list is huge), people are entitled to expect an update, and yes, root (which often means unlocked bootloader) might be a security issue on its own, remote flaw which doesn't necessary needs root are on the other hand patches with those security patches.

So for you, it might means nothing. for others, it might, and it's not just about p0rn history and "Oh come on who would wants your data ?"
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] leondestiny:
how do i flash oos then ? what are the steps, im on march patch..

oh well, i haven't been on oos since like 3+months, have the pie builds gotten better?

i miss the smoothness and simplicity of oos, i am on aosp roms cause i get abit better battery.

anyways thx for letting me know, but just in case what if oos latest build had March patch too, would i not need msm and could just flash it over my customrom(march build)?

Any suggestion guys?

TBH, this betas builds are pretty stable, even more stable than any custom ROM IMO. And as you say you are used with custom ROMs, this is the perfect middle grounds for stability and new features. Of course it sometimes get unstable and pulled, just like any custom ROM.

Here's a warning regarding beta 14.

For me the navigation gestures are broken in anything but the OP launcher. For all other launchers tested, the home button gesture no longer works.

Also the vibration feedback for this gesture has been reduced even more compared to previous versions.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RagingHarry:
Working as it should on nova launcher, all gestures are doing their job properly.

About the vibration, never noticed it was even there ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cave_diver:
Update: Just got the home gesture working again after force closing the OP launcher.

Opening the OP launcher again causes the issue to reappear.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------

You're right, the haptic feedback for the home gesture is all but non existent now, it is so minimal. Vibration feedback for the back gesture seems to be unchanged. Don't like this...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RagingHarry:
Just switched to OP launcher, also there it is working as it should for me
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cave_diver:
Sure, it's when I switch from the OP launcher to CPL or Nova, then it breaks.

Update: Cleared the storage for the OP launcher, left the OP launcher beta program which I was a member of, rebooted and now I can't make this issue reappear.

What remains is the all but non existent haptic feedback on the home gesture while back still has the old vibration feedback strength.

P.S: running stock with a locked bootloader
