Let me put in the details.
I just came from MIUI 9.5.1x.y(forget the exact version) China version and now on LOS 15.1 official.
My old experience with that MIUI is optimal for standby battery life, especially during midnight with flight mode on. 8~9 hour just had the battery down by 1 ~2 percent at max. For MIUI, I use the built-in battery saving mode and disallowed most apps' background activities.
In LOS, I root and utilize greenify for similar task, and also enable the built-in battery saver. Yet, it gives me quite different result. About 7~8% usage overnight. That's far from optimal.
So my question are:
Do you have similar experiences?
If the answer is yes, how do you find the causes of the unnecessary battery drain? And how to solve it?
Any clues and helps are welcome.
Use an app to find out what is causing wakelocks during the night?
BetterBatteryStats for example.
You should Monitor Your Battery with Gsam and Betterbatterystatus Application also Monitor Cpu Deep Sleep
got to battery stat in system setting , check what apps running in background and disable(if available) what apps that can running in background.

Dirty Flash?
Low signal area?
From what I know 4.22 has about 1 hour less screen on time than 4.12. Then again, I think we all here can drain about 30% battery in a hour, if we wanted to. What exactly are you doing in that 1 hours time.
battery isn't what it used to be.
4.1.2 was much better battery wise
Some solutions
you can try apps like:
greenify which hibernates background apps and some other apps which are hibernated as your phone goes in standby. (Root)
Ds battery saver which will turn off wifi when the phone is on standby.
Cpu sleeper which turns off one core when phone is on standby (Root)
Battery Calibration (Root)
Lux auto brightness which adjust the brightness and is battery efficient
You can under clock or under volt or even change your screens colour settings. (Root)
Hope these apps and tips help
While i acknowledge that most of battery life is determined by the actions of the user and what apps they use, some ROM/Kernel combos just have notoriously crap battery life regardless of how you cut it. I have found that 10.1 and its stock kernel are one of those instances. Hell, even while using a different kernel and great settings i still have been unable to get the same kind of battery as i can with other combos. Personally, EOS is the complete package of customizability and battery life out of the box for me. Perhaps you should give it a shot. CyanogenMod is just far too dirty.

All good except for Battery Calibration. That app, and others that operate on the same premise are 100% snake oil. And end user can do the exact same thing that the app does simply by unplugging their phone from the charger after a full or near-full charge. It in no way, shape, or form touches anything related to battery life or battery charge indication.

I have hit a wall and can't figure this out for the life of me. With gsam.. whenever my battery drops a percentage the usage spikes from 3.3% to 30-60%. ??
I've installed numerous roms and even tested this on stock and still the problem remains (with no apps installed and no google apps).
Anybody have any idea of what could be causing this? I am currently on MM and the most current firmware available for my phone.
I am losing sleep over this haha
OK, here's an example to show you what the percentage in GSam means: If your battery went down from 100 to 90% (-> 10% decrease) and you see an usage of 30% for the display in GSam, then the display has used 3% (30% of 10%) of your battery power.
Is the same true when my usage drops by 1% when my hourly percent is idle at 3.x%/hour and then spikes to 25-90%/h? It gets nice and settled at 3-4%/h then when it drops a digit on usage it spikes up to 25-90%/h and crawls back down to 3-4%/h until the next usage % drops? ... I have wakelock detector which shows nothing happening, tried bbs and same happens but I cannot find what causes my %/h to spike like this.
Sorry, this is really frustrating to me.
My battery drains kind of fast, I'm talking about less then 12 hours on daily basic use (calls, facebook, whatsapp ETC). with not a lot at all of SOT.
anyone has an idea why this is happening?
It is almost impossible to determine what is using your battery based on virtually zero information...
In almost all battery draining cases, it is down to an app or wakelock. You have to work out what it is, and troubleshoot. Repeat this process for all future phone / rom / kernel combinations
- Are you rooted with any other mods?
- On the basic battery info screen, are there any strange apps?
- Checked for wakelocks using an app like GSAM or betterbatterystats?
If you're not rooted, check the battery stats and see if your phone is staying awake constantly. Also see what apps have the biggest "keep awake"time
Hi, I have a OnePlus 3 with LineageOS, I also used to have the ElementalX kernel on which I enabled the battery monitor and I could see the battery drain percentage/hour in real time, at first it was 1,5%/h idling which is already terrible (for ref i used my schoolmates nexus, which had 0,5%/h and also googled a bit) but then it got worse and worse until it got to 3%/h so I decided to clean flash the rom and leave the stock kernel on... And that has left me with awful OCD about my battery since I can't see the drain in real time anymore (Previously I used the EX Kernel Manager which works only with that kernel)
So I need to know 2 things, does anyone know why my battery drain could have been acting out? And more importantly, please recommend me some apps that can display the idle battery drain in real time...
Thanks in advance.
Ex kernel mangaer works with all kernels. You could use accubattery as well, it does have a similar option too. Idle drain needs to be checked on long runs, for example if you use your phone for texting and turn your screen on/off many times, a battery monitor app could not be that accurate because when it scales the percentage used by screen off it could register the amount of power used by the screen when it was on ( but it wasn't register as screen on because the 1% dropped when the screen was off even if you used that 1% when the screen was on). I hope it's clear enough. English is not my native language and it's hard to explain it.
Can someone please help? I bought the phone 2-3 days ago and yesterday was my first full charge to 100% but i noticed when i play a game, and one match of 3 minutes already reduces 1% battery drain everytime, I bought the phone for its praise for battery life (Lenovo P2) and yet i noticed battery is keeps draining, i even turned off bluetooth/locationse/etc/ and restricted ALL apps except for whatsapp, and the apps im running are: Poweramp Pro - Nova launcher prime and facebook/skype etc but rarely use those two., Is there someting wrong with my phone?

install wakelock detector and GSam Battery Monitor and post results from those, maybe we have the same problem (mine is SIM card draining battery)

How do you know that yours was a sim card battery draining issue maybe mines the same? and when i installd gsam it got stuck on "calculating..." and wouldn't show any result even after 2+ hours...
It calculates since last full charge so you need to charge it fully and then leave for some time. If you you want information on which processes use most of battery you need to give it permission for BATTERY_STATS (tutorial is in the application itself, pretty straightforward). Wakelock detector give similar information, it tells you which processes and apps wake your phone the most (set it to show also system processes). Anyway, I returned my phone and went back to Samsung, no more chinese crap for me.
