The Note10+ 5G (US) is not bootloader unlockable, unfortunately, and it likely won't ever be.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Coderedpl:
True but I'd only have it for 6 months give or take and I haven't focused too much on rooting or unlocking devices much anymore. So for me doesn't matter THAT much
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Crisisx1:
It's really surprising to me that it's so bad for some users that they're starting to return them.

These were my results from my 3rd full charge. Only had phone couple days. It seems to be pretty consistent on my end with 6 hrs sot.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
Wtf!

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

I notice you're only getting LTE. Is that because you disabled 5G or just because you weren't in range?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
New McLaren

Okay, so new phone in hand. Gonna spend the day with it on default settings all around and see what happens, only this time I did NOT enable smart unlock... Figured maybe that can contribute?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Bordo_Bereli51:
I would recommend you guys to check about your cpu usage if you use custom kernels, mostly prime cluster. In the newest update, the prime core or cluster 3 is 100% used on max. freq all the time due to the oneplus service using it. affected in 10.0.7 and 10.0.5 firmwares using custom kernels (heard somewhere that maybe affected using root and stock kernel too). you have to root and use magisk to flash the module I attached. After that you should get better screen on time, I was getting 3-4hrs sot but after that module I get 7-8hours sot.

[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] TEKHD:
Battery Drain Solution: (Aggressive Doze via Naptime with Tasker making sure rules are applied/imposed & keep monitoring apps via GSam Battery Monitor Pro for app adjustments later on / individual app battery settings)

Playstore:

- Naptime -> $0.99 minimum (seems to be a very honest Developer by the way)

- Tasker -> $3.49 (Optional)

- GSam -> $2.49 (Optional) (or you can use stock Battery Monitor)

I will ONLY include Naptime Settings since I don't expect many people will actually invest $6.97 on these 3 apps. (legitimate way)

I guarantee you will get amazing battery life with all 3 apps combined, but with Naptime only, you will see a HUGE difference in battery consumption when leaving it overnight or screen off. Yes, HUGE difference, otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my time with this post.

After installing Apps...

ADB Commands:

Naptime

adb -d shell pm grant com.franco.doze android.permission.DUMP
adb -d shell pm grant com.franco.doze android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

... if using GSam

adb -d shell pm grant com.gsamlabs.bbm.pro android.permission.BATTERY_STATS

Follow screenshots... *Make sure ALL 3 Apps are set to "Don't Optimize" (If using Naptime only, then make sure Naptime is set to "Don't Optimize") Also... if using a Galaxy Watch or any other Bluetooth device, simply don't use the "Disable Bluetooth on Doze" option in Naptime Settings.

This guide assumes you know a few things about ADB, Phone Settings... bla bla... :)
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
As I stated earlier, I was using nap time for a bit and it did help a little bit but my problem wasn't really stand by time. On top of that it was delaying notifications for so many apps it just wasn't worth it. Not to mention we shouldn't need to have to do any of this stuff.

As far as rooting goes, it's been forever since I last rooted... I finance the phone through T-Mobile which means I can't unlock the bootloader, I can't remember but I don't think you can flash things or root the phone even if the bootloader is locked correct?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] BtuMars:
I turned off all the experience improvement programs. Cpu usage has gone down on cores 0-3. But it could all be in my head too.

This phone is able to be rooted. I'm rooted right now. I also made a guide on this procedure in the other sub-forum. Anyhow, no you cannot root without unlocking the bootloader. Also, regarding the battery...mine sucks. Even with greenify rooted. It's better I think with greenify, but still something is wrong. I might try this Tasker method though.

[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Blkjck11:
Think I found my major issue with the battery drain.

Adguard. Used it on the past three phones before the McLaren, never had any major consumption issues with it I honestly didn't consider it when I first installed it immediately when I got the phone and have been using it for the past week and a half. It did not using that much battery. And I know their explanation is that since all traffic goes through it it appears to be using more battery than it is. But I feel like this might be an issue with Android 10 because in this case it does appear to be actually using all that battery.

So I just tried to give it a shot today, the battery test before and after while doing Christmas stuff all day leaving my phone be playing a YouTube video for hours at a time.

Only thing that's changed between these two screenshots was uninstalling Adguard. So just a thought, suggestion if anyone else is using it or a similar application.

(also my 5G is enabled in both even though it doesn't look that way in the screenshots, it's just set for Auto, so it went back to 4G)

Before and after Adguard:
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
Deleted google apps

So I deleted the google dialer, as well as messages and a few other google apps that replaced the stock oneplus ones I had disabled and it seems that solved my problem (mostly, still not getting 8 hours SOT lol!)

Both pictures are showed after I tired this but the first one shows what the battery life was like up until that point,
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
So I should also mention that this does include leaving it idle overnight not charging it! So I feel that the next full cycle will get me close to 5 hours SOT!
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] yenkoPR:
after you get an average of battery use, you can enable some options, like ambient display
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Rondix91:
And now what apps you use for dialer and messages ?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Crisisx1:
Here's the advice I got...
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
I use the stock OnePlus dialer and messenger!
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Crisisx1:
Isn't that that the phone comes preloaded with?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Keyan:
My new McLaren gets really bad battery life, it looses 7% overnight, barely gets 4 hours SOT. That is worse than my old Pixel 2 XL. With a 4085mAh battery it should be getting 7 or 8 hours SOT. I always have to keep it on the charger.

My phone is COMPLETELY STOCK. I have plenty of 5g signal around. This is horrible.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] js042507:
Ironically, turning off adaptive battery setting makes a pretty significant difference. I'm getting way better battery life with this setting off.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Keyan:
I charged the device to full less than 2 hours ago, my SOT is only 45 minutes and my battery is already down 20%.

When my phone was fully charged it said the estimated time until power down was less than 12 hours. That is absolutely horrible.

I got this phone because everyone was saying the 4XL battery life was trash and I'm really starting to regret this decision.

The only way I can get the battery to last longer is to turn off RAM Boost, but that only adds a half hour to the estimated power down time.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
But what battery life are you getting?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Crisisx1:
Before and after stats?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] js042507:
No, I don't have that info. I just turned this off yesterday. I got about 2 hours of SOT and my battery level was at 70%. And before, with 2 hours, it would probably be at under 40-50%. I'll post my stats after a full day with normal usage.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
Yes, usually I download the google versions
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Rondix91:
RAM boost turn off ?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] js042507:
No. RAM boost is still on. I didn't test that setting.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
The first thing I do on newer phone is disable Doze using an ADB shell command. Works wonders for performance and battery life. I also turned off 5G for the time being, since that is the main source for battery drain for me. Even in areas that should NOT be spotty, I can practically watch the battery life tick down.

I just hope it gets better soon, as I will need 5G in order to have service at work.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
Wait, why would disabling doze save battery???
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Because adaptive battery/Doze will a lot of times aggressively close background apps, which will then reopen themselves for notification checking, or other activities. It's been an issue since Oreo, when Doze became way too aggressive.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
Can you give me the adb commands to disable doze? And how much battery does it save you?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Have to run from a PC, unless you have root: adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

I have not done a comparison of battery life with/without Doze on the 5G model, but on my prior Samsung S9, S10, and OP7 Pro, this tweak would allow me to get through the day with over 40% battery, whereas I would normally get home with 25-30%. Another side effect is overall better system performance. As of now, I have over 400 hours on the phone since I rebooted. Still zero lag.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
Cool, and you disabled adaptive battery too?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
You don't have to. Disabling Doze will also shut it off.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
Cool, and you disabled adaptive battery too?

I'm not doubting you, but I'm surprised that this doesn't significantly increase idle drain. Interesting
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] js042507:
Ok. Wow. WTF! My battery level was at 70% with over 2 hours of SOT. Left and went to a party...and now it's at 16%! I barely used it. Turning off adaptive battery doesn't seem to help much. LOL. At least in standby. I thought it was helping. Also, the place I was at was connected to 5G the entire time . My battery is at 14% right now with 2hr and 35min of SOT. This is crap. This phone sucks! What the hell. My pixel 2 XL could go all day with regular and standby usage and barely trickle down. UGH. I guess it's the 5G radio, but seriously how could it drain the battery this fast. So dumb. Now I'm pissed. They better figure this out. I'm regretting not getting the pixel 4 now
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
I agree with you that the logic seems backwards. I've done it on every phone since the Galaxy S8, and it's worked wonders.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] LT1UltraZ:
the update can't come soon enough . Seems about 4.5 hours is about the max I can get
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] yenkoPR:
follow my posts to get this battery,
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] js042507:
That is not very good battery life at all. I would get well over 6 hours of SOT with my 2 year old pixel 2 XL. Same apps, same setup. I disabled my 5G radio to see if that makes a difference though. The problem I think doesn't stem from SOT though....it's battery drain when the phone is locked.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
Like they said earlier. No reason to do that since you're disabling ever feature of the phone ?

I'll try this! doesn't that delay the notifications that you get from your social media apps though? Because that happens sometimes and you don't get notifications until you open it
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] yenkoPR:
i guess you didnt see the 30+ hours since the full charge...
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] DarqAnshin:
So I can say this. I had a oneplus 5t and a 6t. The 6t had a better battery life but right now with 5g on I am getting about 3hrs with 65% of my battery left. I'm currently east coast but 5G coverage here is pretty good. I did find rebooting the phone after taking the last update and after getting a 5G signal improved my battery life. For me, my biggest drain was/is the Samsung Galaxy Watch. It would drain my 6t something fierce. On this phone I don't seem to get the same drain. As YenkoPR mentioned moving apps from intelligent to Optimized has been a big improvement for the drain on some apps. If I am to believe the battery after a few cycles I get about 30-40hrs with 5-6hrs screen on time with 5G (I am estimating because I have just started to watch and occassionally I sleep so the phone drains much less).
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] js042507:
I did see this, yes. That is actually very good. But you did not plug in at all during that entire time? Because that only gives the last time the battery was fully charged. If not, I'll admit that is pretty good and would demonstrate little drainage when in standby.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] jimmyray1990:
From my experience just staying on LTE and disabling 5G battery returns to normal but with 5G on u can feel the phone warm up even without using it. Usually that means 5G is keeping the phone in a Wake state when the dedicated x55 is active. It just needs a software tweak which has yet to happen along with some tweaks on signal strength when to disconnect and reconnect cause I have seen 5G connect with a dirty Noise to signal ratio which means a tower that is usually 2+ miles away cause the towers where I am at is pretty much flat land and 600Mhz will stretch for miles but it gets to a point where it is unusable

Any updates still only getting 4-5 hrs sot with lte only and 2 hrs with 5g on. Love the phone it's beast but the battery life and gps issues are a bummer. Don't want to send it back but if there's not gonna be a fix then what's the point. My laggy old lg g7 was still getting 4-5 hrs sot on a 2 year old battery expected at least close to 7-9 hrs some reviewers saw
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] js042507:
I completely agree. I did the same and disabled 5G, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I am disappointed too. It's annoying. I also cannot take mine back either, so I'm stuck. Meh. Maybe OnePlus will release an update that solves the problem. But nothing yet.

[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Bordo_Bereli51:
use Kernel Auditor to check, if the prime core usage is 100% or not. If the prime core is idling, then the module did that job. But did you first check the cpu usage before installing the module?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:

[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] jhofseth:
I do like this 5G McLaren, but I have to admit the battery life on 5G so far has been horrible. I received the phone on the first day of release, am currently on the November 1, 2019 security patch, and can only hope that future updates improve battery life! :)
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] MambaBean24:
There is already a december update, but the security patches have nothing to do with the software
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] jhofseth:
You can see from the date of the kernel compile, the update that includes the security patch is often delayed by a month. OOS is a different animal, but T-Mobile is way slower than OnePlus at upgrading OOS.

6 hours SOT

So after flashing that module. I can confirm that my first cycle got me pretty much 6 hours. Here are the screenshots I'm going to charge it now but I'm sure that other 17% would get me about an hour.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] bricky23:
Yesterday was my 1st full day with this phone. I had to charge it twice and still was down to 25% by 10 o'clock. So I did a factory reset and didn't restore anything. Today it's 6 o'clock in the evening still at 70%. Definitely haven't used it as much as yesterday, but it was going down fast even when not in use yesterday. Much better but the test will be when I go back to work on Monday. I'm also not using facial recognition anymore, but don't think that would make a big difference.

Try turning off 5g. If you live in an area where your phone is constantly switching from 5g to late I've found this to be a huge battery drainer. I've turned it off until they optimize it better and I get between 8 to 10 hours of sot now.

For my personal usage, standby battery usage has improved a lot with the .19 OTA. Active use has not gotten any better, and I still go from 100% to 70% in less than 2 hours (my commute) use. Less than an hour of this is screen on time, the remainder is BT streaming.

I'd exchange it if I were you sounds like yours may be defective. I am getting excellent battery life with this phone. On QHD and 90hz I get about 8 hours sot with 24 hours off charger. If I switch to 60hz and FHD I get around 10 hours sot with 48 hours off charger. That's about as good as my 6t was. Just sharing my experience so you can decide wether or not to exchange it for a new one.
