Hi everyone just got myself a HTC One and I've been experiencing quite bad battery life, usually start the day on full battery around 8am and by 4-5 it's dead or near enough, this seems quite bad for me since my iPhone with a much smaller battery lasted a lot longer, so I downloaded GSam battery monitor and something called kernel (android os) is taking 30% battery usage, is this normal or some kind of bug? I took some screenshots of the battery usage so if anyone could help me out or wants to see the screenshots please let me know, thanks
I've done a factory reset and also running stock version of android updated to latest firmware
Hey guys, getting terrible battery since my note 5 updated last weekend with system (mediaserver), Android system and kernel (android os) being the main offenders according to gsam. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas for a fix? Check out my battery stats here.
Any input much appreciated!
I remember you from the reddit thread lol. I still have the same drain and after some testing it seems to be the wlan_rx_wake wakelock. The drain is worse on some large networks. After hours of googling the only working solution for me is to turn off the wifi. Have you tried turning off the wifi and checking the drain?

Thanks for the response
My wifi is off whenever I'm not home, but those three processes are still the biggest drains on my battery
Just wondering if you found a solution to this. My Note 5 has the same issue with mediaserver draining my battery
Hi everyone -
I have a stock Note 5 and all of a sudden for the last couple days I have been seeing crazy battery drain during the night. Last night I went to sleep with it at 100% and when I got up 10 hours later, it was 62%.
I have linked a screenshot of the battery usage. Can anyone help me fix this?

Mine isn't as bad, but it's been horrible since the last OTA update. One guy mentioned the bluetooth seems to be the culprit.
Sometimes a rogue app abuses the awake state and keeps draining battery (*cough*facebooksucks*cough*).
Check for any wakelocks or a continuously running background service or app.
This problem helped me too and i flashed stock rom 6.0.1 and then flashed root.img (root file for odin)and then corrected.
Sorry for my english.
So my first Note 8 had draining problems which seemed to somehow fix itself with every other cycle. I replaced it with my current Note 8, which had really great battery life for a week. Yesterday, it started draining randomly at 3%++ on idle. I didn't download any new apps. I didn't change anything at all. According to GSAM, it just says it's from app usage, but I'm not using the phone and all apps are closed.
In Settings|Device Maintenance, you can find a list of apps that are draining the battery.
What does GSAM report for deep-sleep percentage?
Do you have AOD turned on? Many are reporting excessive battery drain from it.
I have found this useful on more than one occasion. It will give you deeper insight into what's going on, than the battery monitor in the phone.

Another vote to look at disabling AOD.
I checked my battery stats yesterday and it was the top consumer after 5 hours of work. I didn't use my phone much - there was about an hour of SOT, but the AOD seems to be taking way more than 1% an hour - more like 4-5% an hour in my case.
I do hope that they fix this issue in an update. I'd like to use AOD, but not at the expense of that much battery life per hour. I guess when they're testing their software, they don't test battery drain.
I wonder why the AOD draining more. I don't ever remember seeing AOD using battery on my S7E. I love the AOD but i have it set on a schedule. ifi leave it on all day it consumes 5-6% battery.
Chiming in to say AOD was the culprit for me as well. I was losing as much as 5% an hour on AOD. Just not optimized. I had it on all the time using my S8+ and it didn't drain more than 6% for a whole day which is something I can live with.
I don't have AoD turned on, but it's also not disabled. It's still active, but I can disable it with BK Disabler.

It doesn't list anything in particular that is draining it, which is why I'm having so much trouble finding out the issue. My old Note 8 would drain for 3% per hour and then after a charge or two, it would go back to normal. This time, it hasn't reverted back to normal yet.
For deep sleep and light sleep, they're both around 40-something percent.
Never happened like this. Started dropping 10%+ overnight. I should admit p7 standby drain was never that good. Used to drop around 6-7% on average but suddenly without installing any other apps or making any major changes to my device it started happening. The device is updated to November patch, all major apps is being battery restricted except the few apps i use daily. Like whatsapp reddit... Has anyone fixed this issue or is there any fix ?! TIA.

Screen off 0.7% / hour is pretty standard for Pixel phones. If something is waking the device you can find it usually with Better Battery Stats either on XDA or the Play store. I usually check alarms and partial wakelocks to see if anything is amiss. Sometimes a reboot will clear out the alarms of particular apps. Here ya go.

I used BBS for a while. Does it need root access to show the wakelocks and alarms and all? Coz i wasn't planning on rooting my p7 now.

No it doesn't. Pay attention to this post (#4) and follow the adb instructions to a T. Sometimes you need to restart the BBS app so either force stop it or reboot the phone. Don't forget the hidden_api_policy command (Android 10 and above) at the bottom.

These are your battery stats.. and you aren't happy with them?
My battery is wayyyyy worse..
First, what app are you using to monitor the battery in the screenshot?
Second, is this with mobile service and data on as well?
My phone doesn't idle as good in airplane mode with wifi on!
Makes me feel like there's hope after all for decent battery..
Ill post my stats tomorrow.
And try to get to the bottom of my battery issues..
The app is AccuBattery and it's indeed accurate given enough cycles
It's not that different from my 4XL, still waiting on the 7 to arrive.

First, The app is accubattery.
Second, nope its not data or wifi on. With wifi on it standby drain is okay. But with mobile data its worse i mean far worse. As if its not enters doze or standby only. At best with minimal use it'll last 16-18 hrs with confidence then the low battery anxiety kicks in... I was hoping a far better standby drain. Coz i was optimized it as much as i can. Didn't install anything much. Blocked all the background activities. My p4a with a smaller battery had better standby. Even i heard p6a with tensor 1 chip had better standby drain. I hoped tensor 2 had better optimization efficiency on this end.
I'm in the same boat. Very disappointed in standby battey drain. Mines like ~3-4% per hour when out and about during the day! With 5g off.
Seems crazy high to me.
Hoping some custom kernel goodness or custom rom will improve this...

3-4% is harsh man. It happens to me when using mobile data.
I came from the P6 and have been using the P7 for about a week now. I personally have not seen any noticeable difference in battery drain between the P6 and P7.
Here is my accubattery summary. Screen off at 3.5% per hour, over 80% deep sleep. Even deep sleep state consumes 2.2% per hour. Unbelievably bad.

Did you update the December patch? It improved alot of things including scrolling and standby drain issue. Atleast I've noticed on my device.

That's a little much. Most it should be is around 0.9% / hr and perhaps as low as 0.5%. Find out what is waking your phone with screen off and you'll have the solution. This is not a Pixel 7 thing but a you thing. (well your device not necessarily you)

Yes, I bought the phone recently and when I initially set it up I fastboot flashed DEC build downloaded directly from Google to both slots.

I'm not sure if it's a wakeup issue though. As shown in the screenshot, the deep sleep is above 80% time of total screen off time. And for the deep sleep state it consumes 2.2% per hour. The phone idle item usually also contributes to about 30% - 40% of battery usage overnight when the phone is in standby, which seems to be a good thing according to some opinions I read, since it means no single problem app (user app at least) draining the battery.
I only have the phone completely set up and running for the past week, so I still have patience and see for another week if it's the system still settling down on something. It's just ridiculous to see the phone down to literally 70% from fully charged after an 8 hour sleep when there is not an obvious single problem app.
Maybe I need to start using the good old BBS again...

Yes, BBS will certainly help. My deep sleep with screen off is around 90+ %. One thing to try is a reboot of the device right before you go to sleep. Any partial wakelock and alarms will be cleared out unless they are constantly syncing something in the background. I also think that by now it's pretty much settled so it's something else. BBS is better than Accubattery for stuff like that.

Here's my AccuBattery stats and BBS stats from last night. If I charge it to 100% then the screen off is around 0.5% / hour probably due to the reporting in Android being not entirely accurate. I think I unplugged around 85% last night I try not to go too much above that. As I said something is waking the device up I believe.
Thanks! I installed BBS yesterday and will let it work for a day or two and start troubleshooting. If we compare our accubattery stats, it's interesting that your deep sleep consumes 0.7% per hour while mine consumes more than 2.0% per hour. Even my deep sleep state has problem.
Edit: this is BBS from the last 8 hours or so of complete idle.

The summary and partial wakelock are similar to mine last night only difference being my good signal was 100% where as your moderate signal was 91%. I don't believe that would do it. My overnight drain was 0.8% / hour. Kernel wakelocks never really showed me much but I'm sure the experts over at the BBS thread could shed more light on that with a log upload according to the OP. But I think more important is your alarm screen since unplugged. What does that look like and what's at the top of the list? That might help narrow it down.
Boot into safe mode. Observe drain.
Not sure why but last week kde Connect suddenly locked up my whole phone, disabled now it's better.
When I tried safe mode I had 88% after am 8hr shift. Blew my mind. No idea the culprit but clearly user apps running amok
But, I never experienced stock. Immediately flashed GrapheneOS so I figured was due to to their build
