I used to consider myself lucky for never ever having to face this problem until now!

Google Play Services drain is always at the top of the list of battery usage after updating to 9.0.12.

I had a 10% drain in 6 hours of standby.

Have you gotten lucky with any fix?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] toebee76:
Unfortunately no. The problem still remains. However I found my problem extends past this rom. It happens with anything I flash including custom roms. Only thing that "fixes" it for me is not connecting to my home wifi. Don't ask me why lol. I have tried everything over the past few weeks to figure something out.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nostradomis:
I use xXx. You have great control over wake locks and many aspects oos. I am running 12 and get 1% per hour drain. the Wi-Fi is always on and I do nothing else for battery.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Has anyone seen excessive battery drain with Google Play Music?

I have been off the charger for 4 hours and I am down to 25% with less than 1 hour of screen time.

Its not exclusive to this build. Prior stable was the same way and the beta's are just as bad.

I will also say, when I play music I am using bluetooth. Its sad when the headphone battery will outlast the device battery.

Anyone else notice this.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I will also note that I do great incredible battery when I dont use Google Play Music.

Also, I never had this drain on my Note9. It is specific to this device.

Attached is 2 days without streaming anything. Just connected to my watch. I got over 4 hours screen time with this screen shot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Is there any chance that Google play music is using location services?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroKool76:

What's the stock camera version on your device in 9.0.12?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] toebee76:
Like I mentioned my phone works perfectly fine unless I am on my home wifi. I don't see how tweaking wake locks would remedy an issue like that. Like I also mentioned before it has nothing to do with this rom, so I don't want to spam this thread anymore than I already have.

After a ton of troubleshooting I finally figured out the cause this morning. It has something to do with a incompatibility with my OP6T and an old ADT-1 Android tv box in my bedroom. It appears Google recently pushed an update to the ADT-1's built in casting app. If I uninstall those updates everything works perfectly fine. I repeatedly watched Google Play Services go from running my OP6T's CPU at a constant 20% to 0% as I installed and uninstalled the updates from the ADT-1's casting app. Very strange and unique problem I am guessing. I have other android devices that were not affected at all.

Thanks to all those that tried to help. Apologies for spamming the thread. I originally suspected 9.0.12, but it was just a coincidence that I updated the same time Google pushed the ADT-1 update.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Yes, it does use location. Is that the culprit?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Oos 9.0.12 had all sorts of issues, I recommend flashing open beta 7 to resolve issues. Worked for me
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Yup. It can be the culprit. Google play services was using around 30 to 35 percent battery on my device and I hadn't turned the location off.

Turn off the location access for Play music and see if it has any positive effect.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I checked, location was off.

Yeah, I am on Beta 7 now. Will see how it goes.

After formatting Data, not actually wiping it it booted.

Now i can't boot or flash recovery from there with

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Flashing Magisk is always recommended, if you dont flash Magisk it usually takes you back to recovery. If you have stuck on bootloader, you can try booting into flastboot mode first and then to recovery from there to check if you have access to recovery. If the partition is corrupt, flash either the fastboot rom or use the msn unbrick tool to start flashing all the partitions.

Hey dude (not you who i quoted, i think), the other guys taklking about this), he doesn't HAVE TO use the tool unless and until he doesn't get but, if that, small vibrations when after connecting it to the PC having followed the directions... Also, the corrupted screen is very easily rid of, and worst case, it will be then the problems earlier you wanted to reset for, well now go ahead, we tried, you were gonna up resetting so no loss since you were gonna go that route.

On the fastboot screen you only need to replace the system and it'll start allowing the boot again.

You give them TOO MUCH credit.

You are right.

First thing i do is get rid of Google apps like search play music, videos etc etc.

I never had issues with battery drain.

---------- Post added at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

And for people having issues with battery drain. Try different kernel. So many to choose from.

Personally i would suggest holy dragon or ex kernel or franco's.

See the difference.

If you are having problems it might be because you are doing something wrong.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Yeah, I am pretty familiar with Google bloat. I have built a ROM or two in my time. However your statement doesnt hold true. The issues is the device or software build. Same app fairs absolutely fine on my Note9 with same app load. Never had an issue like this. Multiple devices are all fine except this one.

However, that is just my logic. We may disagree and that is fine.

I have it disabled and I cannot imagine I am doing something wrong when it comes to something like playing back music.

I actually find it embarrassing that my $800, 2015 Sony Android TV has a more current security update than my current generation OnePlus 6T.

I honestly don't mind if a device manufacturer takes a couple of months to get out the latest major software upgrade, but to allow security updates to fall more than 90 days behind is not acceptable, IMHO.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Seems like the Play Music issue may be resolved. Fingers are crossed. At this time the errors in the logcat have gone away (as described in the link in my prior post).

I am not sure how this will impacts battery life. Overall I think the prognosis is good because I realized now that Play Music was running primarily as a foreground app, prior to me turning off ad-blocking, which the app hardly ever is in my scenario.

I used the app for just a bit today and I can see that the background usage has gone up to more realistic level and the foreground usage is down. This in theory will equate to better battery and possibly smoother performance.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SourPower:
Yes... Especially something like the security patches which are published monthly by Google.... OP just needs to bake them into the update, is that complicated?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] H4X0R46:
Just my 2 cents here, but at that point I'd honestly just use root and remove the app and find an alternative (if you used it frequently). Not sure cause I've never used Play Music myself. Like I said, just my 2 cents.

Never before i have seen a community like this and i went through Galaxy S boards and Sony boards which are full of negative people at their peak.

Anyways, i have recently bought a 6t after years of going with an old S4. I have not encountered any major issue so far but i'd like to know if it's possible to have a torch widget on the homescreen on this OS version. Is it? Because i have not a found way yet to do it without third party apps.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jank4AU:
[MENTION=4662856]astrosp4c3[/MENTION] Yes, go to Settings > Buttons & Gestures > Quick Gestures. I have Draw "V" set to turn on / off flashlight. So when the screen is off, I just draw a V on the screen and the flashlight turns on. Draw it again and the flashlight turns off. No need for a widget on the home screen, really. If you already have your phone in your hand and you took it out of your pocket just to turn on the torch, just draw on the screen. Just as quick as turning it on and hitting the widget. Or if you're in another app you have to go back to the home screen to hit a widget. You could just drag the notification shade and hit the torch icon as easily that way.

Something about this phone just does not like Google Play Music.

I guess I have to make a choise, S10 or stay with OP. I guess I will stay with OP due to the fact it can be rooted. Arghhh.... Will bring my tablet for music until Google or OnePlus can figure this out.

I had a OnePlus 5 for 2 years before getting the 6t (as a gift, I may not have gone for the 6t on my own)

In the OP5, I would have insane battery drain with Google services/apps on stock ROM. Everytime a new stable update was rolled out I would flash back to stock to test and same problem within a few hours. went nuts for the 2 years. If the second highest battery drain source was say at 5%, Google services/apps would be at 25-30%. I tried every trick in the book and nothing worked. Had no option but to go to custom and voila. Google related battery drain would be negligible.

Now after moving to 6t, I expected the same issue, but fortunately don't have it at all. I haven't even bothered debloating (I know I know) there are no issues and I haven't made the switch to a custom ROM yet.

Maybe you are having the same curse on stock, time to go custom perhaps. There is surely some issue with OOS and Google services
