About 3 days ago the battery drain on my Nexus 5X went crazy. I found out that the "app" Android System do not let the phone sleep and keeps it awake all the time. That is why the phone can not even get into doze mode and drains about 8% per hour when the screen is off. I tried restarting the device and also force stopping the Android System. Both without any succes. Do anybody knows what to do with it? Or should I just wait if it will go back to normal? I do have screenshots, but the XDA will not let me post outside links...
Interested about that.
Ur screenshot may be useful, host them in a site like imgur and replace dots by other letters.

Well just delete the two underscores and the "dot" thing
I am having the same problem. It occurs randomly, most often when I have just charged the phone and removed the cable. If i am correct, a wakelock under the name *backup* is holding the phone awake, it might be the same in ur case. I've done a research on this, turned out this is unfixable unless you have some sort of wakeblocker, which my current rom lacks of. I tried using xposed with its modules, but it gave me a ton of bootloops and i gave up on it. The only temporary fix for me is to reboot the phone. Until it happens again. No clean flash nor anything i have tried seemed to have helped. I even tried disabling all services and receivers from Android System, no luck again. That is one hefty problem

I have exactly same problem with wakelock. It happens only after charging. Everything is OK after restart.
It has happened to me sometimes on my old HTC One X and I think it happened also once on this 5X, but it was just for about a day or so. It disappeared itself with time, I didn't do anything with it then. Now it's been 6 days, I have to charge the phone twice as frequently and neither the reboot nor the force stopping everything works. I really don't know what to do in this case. Also this phone isn't rooted yet, so I can't just flash the system again as on my old HTC... I'm still hoping it will disappear by itself asap
But do you anybody have any other ideas what can I try to do to stop that crazy system app?
same problem here...
had the phone about 350 hours with no restart and i thought i would give it a reboot..
same think happened...android system was going from 2% to 20% in a matter of hours..
installed an app called GSam Battery monitor..showed me the phone was not going in deep sleep (Doze mode) at all...
here is an attachment if anyone can understand better than me..
I posted a similar thing in the battery life thread. Very odd really as I've had the phone a few months now but it also only started with me a few weeks ago. Really can't think of a trigger for it... I doubt the April update would have been significant enough to create an issue, but who knows.
Exactly. After about 4 months of working excellently and about 400 hours without restarting, after charging it's immediately goes into this "mode" when the Android System won't let the phone sleep. Even restart didn't help me, but now after 3 restarts it goes to normal. One bad thing... after every single one charging, every time I put the phone on the charger it goes crazy again and I have to restart the phone after every cutting of of the charger... it makes me really angry when the phone is only 4 months old and even the "okay" battery life isn't that good on this phone... God I just need to find a solution, that's insane...

THIS!!!!
the phones battery life was a big "ok i can just play a bit less so i can get through the day and IF anything happens i know it has fast charge so ok"
nowadays i have to reboot after EVERY charge....
p.s.
anyone that faces the same problem but WITH mai's security update? do we have any hope that it will fix that problem?
Not sure if it's a one-off, but I decided to uninstall the game "8 Ball Pool" by miniclip as it appeared on my battery usage stats when I'd not opened it in days. Since then, even after a recharge, the phone seems to be going to sleep as normal.
I'll monitor to see how things go but perhaps it could genuinely be a rogue app. It's a little disappointing that doze wouldn't block the keep awake requests - I thought that was one of the main purposes of it.
The same issue occurs for my Nexus 5X: after device disconnected from a charger, Android System process starts to keep device awake until next restart. As I understand from comments above factory reset does not help to solve a problem. Has anybody met the similar problem with custom ROMs/kernels?

It started with the latest update I think. It hasn't happened once ever before. I hope they already know what's happening and with the May update it will be gone. I don't think there's any other solution when you don't want to flash custom ROM and stay on stock... :/ we have to wait.. :/

Hmmm, sorry for offtopic clarification... as of now I'm little bit confused about Android versioning, especially it's unclear for me: whether you mean as latest update: 6.0.1 or april security patch or model build number (like MHC19Q, which is currently on my device)?
I guess it must be April security patch. Some kind of problem in the Android System app that comes with the security patch. I don't really know in this case, but as I've said, it hasn't happened once before the April patch

I rolled back to MHC 19J. The April MTC19T Build cut my battery life in half. Android system being the top culprit. Deep sleep never going over 80%. Horrible idle drain. Would drain 15% over night while i slept. Exact same setup as before, no new apps. SOT went from about 5 hours to not even 3.

MTC19T is May update. I've updated my device to it yesterday and the issue hasn't been fixed yet: a device is still kept awake by Android System after disconnecting from a charger. @ScumDroid, could you please confirm there is no such issue on MTC19J after rolling back?

Same issue. After running it for few months flawlessly, the Android System is keeping the device awake and only restarting it solving the problem temporarily. Charging the phone again starts the wake lock..
Most disappointing is it's the 'Android System' that causing the problem. If any app/game is linked to this, it should have been appeared as the culprit but unfortunately it's that 'System'.
Waiting for solution.
Samsung users are having the same problem.
I have found something on my Samsung Galaxy S6 in regards to 'Android OS' killing the battery. It might be the same for Nexus users, I've confirmed this on a Moto G 2015 running the latest MM update and on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. By latest update, I mean the April security patch.
Check this and this.

Sorry for the late response mate. I have no issues with android system draining battery in MTC19J.
Hello Everyone,
So from last week I have tried 5-6 different nougat ROMs (OSS Open beta 9/10, Official RR, RR by Eliminator)
am getting very bad battery drain like 18% per hour while phone idle. Also, Phone is warm to touch.
I tried to switch back to ext4 format that didn't help.
Also, I have no apps installed, no sim card, I did use SuperSU 2.79 with OSS.
I formatted data partition before installing every ROM
But somehow with EmotionOS I am getting good battery life and only 0.29% battery drain while idle.
Edit: I'm getting same results with CM13.

1. It is still a known issue. OnePlus will release a newer update (v4.0.2) the following week.
2. Of course, it wouldn't help. The only thing that F2FS has an advantage over EXT4 is slightly better read and write speeds (if I'm not wrong).
3. Use stable SuperSU v2.79 only. SR1 and SR2 are known to be battery drainers. Even though, they are not the real cause for it.
4. Some users it help and for some it didn't.
P.S. continue using EmotionOS or Freedom OS (I currently use) to get good battery life for now.

That's correct. I have my current ROM (Freedom OS v2.1.1 - based on OOS v4.0.1) and I have 5-6 hours of SOT.
It's worse than (Freedom OS v1.7 - based on OOS v3.2.8) which I had 6-7 hours of SOT.
But, let him decide the right ROM for him (no offense though). Maybe he wanted to test them all, I don't know.
Nougat is not very stable at all right now. I'm waiting for OOS v4.0.2 the following week. I hope it fixes 95% of the problems users experience.
Clean install and see if the issue persists without any apps installed.
Hi ! For me too. But I have a good deep sleep It's just when I use it System Android drain to much Battery same % screen on ?
I stay the new 4.0.2
Don't use official Facebook & Facebook Messenger apps

You guys that do not do clean installs are the ones that generally have problems from old residual data that can cause a variety of issues. However, if you do a clean install, you will find that many of these problems go away. It helps to use the roms the way they were designed and used in the lab. I always wipe everything and do a totally clean install and I had never had these problems.

Normal users do OTA updates all the time, which are the norm - that's not a clean install, and it is how they were designed.

My 5T is constantly losing battery due to "Android OS". I think it started when I updated to OOS 4.7.6 because it seems to have started within the last week or so, but I'm not sure.
I am currently sitting at 52% with 13 minutes of screen on time. 13 minutes.
https://imgur.com/a/Xfj7y
I know it looks like it's because of poor mobile connection, but that's how it's always been with T-Mobile in my area. Like I said before it hasn't always done this, so it isn't that.
I am rooted with TWRP and Magisk. Nothing too fancy just a couple of Xposed modules that I installed the same day I got the phone. So I know it's not any of those either.
I have already tried using Greenify to kill everything in the background, resetting app preferences, and wiping the dalvik and cache with TWRP. None of these has had any affect.
I really don't want to wipe and redo my entire setup, but it's looking like I might have to. Or even downgrade from 4.7.6 to a previous version.
I would appreciate any help and/or suggestions.
None here, been running 4.7.6 for a while. Mine is rooted, my wifes phone is stock, also running fine. Both average 7.5-8 of SOT.
No issues here.
Wow. Since updating to 4.7.6 I have been waking up in the morning to "xyz app" is draining your battery. Usually it is drive which I never use and other times its play services but its nothing like what you are experiencing. My setup has been exactly the same for over two weeks with no added or removed apps, the only difference is the update from 4.7.5 to 4.7.6. I had it dialed in where I would lose 2% overnight consistently but now I have apps draining my battery overnight and the loss is considerably more than that. Hope you get it sorted out :good:

Have you tried better battery stats app to check what's draining your battery? I use that app and it's pretty good.
My phone setup is pretty much like yours, just root with magisk and xposed , no issues here. I'm on stock recovery but TWRP shouldn't matter too guess

Do 1thing i also updated using VPN and m on 4.7.6 version but the battery life is great. I am not rooted just on oxygen Os 4.7.6 without greenify or any such apps. The battery is amazing always 7 to 8hrs and more slot easily. I just cleared cache from recovery and storage after updating and its also recommended on Oneplus site to clear cache after updating. It worked for me when previously i had battery issues . Try it should solve your problems.
Updated to 4.7.6 (full zip via stop recovery) when I got the phone (a week ago) and did a factory reset. Battery is very good for me.

I had this issue on my pixel and nobody seemed to be able to help or offer an explanation, your case sounds extreme like mine was, you could literally see the battery percentage dropping 2-3% per minute and the phone was running super hot.
No idea of the cause but I fixed it by a full wipe of everything, internal storage included, reinstalled everything from scratch no backup app or cloud or anything literally everything clean install.
Hope you get it sorted.
Edit -to clarify, when I tried a clean install of the ROM wiping data cache and system I still had the same issue when i had restored my setup, even in different ROMs, it was baffling. For me it seemed to be wiping the internal storage that cured it, I just backed up pics and anything else I didn't want to lose to my pc just wiped the lot, redone my whole setup from scratch and problem solved.
Just an update in case anyone ends up having the same issue. I fixed it by disabling WiFi. I have no idea why WiFi is causing the severe drain it does, but now I can easily go three days on a single charge and get 6+ hours of screen on time. Even though my phone reports a poor 4G connection almost all the time.
I hope this issue gets magically fixed in Oreo in the same way it magically started in 4.7.6.

That's weird, my phone is connected to wifi a good part of the day and I don't have battery drain. Wifi was on for 22 hours and I have 55% left. The phone is close to 2 days without a charge. I usually get 2 days out of with with normal use and 3 with lighter use.
Have you tested with an app like "Wifi analyser" how is your reception ? I guess it would eat more power with poor reception.
I've had my phone for 3 days, just started, I did the update and a factory reset directly.
I did a test by cutting the mobile data at night and over 8 hours I lose 1% on the battery.
So for me it's very good! :good:
4.7.6 here, not rooted, no such problem
I have this problem too. AndroidOS seems to keep downloading something in the background. I was able to make the problem go away by setting a static IP address in the WiFi settings.
I have used my Oneplus 5T for 8 month,recently the battery is total terrible ,for not use ,and just open one app,it drops battery from 70% to 17% in 3 hour !!And i charged it in 43% ,again drops to 10% in one hour ,then in mins closed without any battery.What a big joke ,i contact the customer of Oneplus ,respond very badly and does nonsense .Mine is 8GB 128GB android 7.1 ,a total rubbish now.Anyone in the same occasion?

Then please do not whine about having a bad battery life. Or when you do not want to update (although your reasoning is not logical as I am on 8.1 latest offcial which is working flawlessly) you could try doing factory reset.
I had OP's issue.
Clear Google cache
Clear Google Play cache
Reboot into recovery, clear cache.
I'm not sure what is required but I do all 3 and it fixes the Android OS drain. Fewer steps may do it? Never tried narrowing it down. My wifi is always off. Location (high) always on. (history/tracking off) App auto-update off.
Based on my circumstances I have a feeling it has something to do with google play app update notifications not coming thru due to bad signal but that's a guess.

According to AccuBattery it's 40% per hour (380mA) active drain and screen off 10-18%/h
On BBS everything seems ok, deep sleep is ok
It was the same on stock MM v20p
I'm on latest LineageOS 16 + microG and I just replaced my battery (looks like original and date is from june). I replaced it because I had random reboots when battery was at low level and it also was draining like crazy.
Any ideas what can it be?

Yeah. I just use it for a camera monitor. Looks like wiping cache and dalvik in twrp fixed it.
Hello,
2 weeks after Android 11 update, my pixel 2 xl started to feel hot and the battery was discharging quickly. On Google help, many people were in my case, and many of them mentioned about unstalling Tunein. Which I did, then my phone stopped to be warm but this didn't stop the drain issue. What I have noticed is that if I don't touch my phone, the battery acts as normal, slow discharge, but when I use it, meaning when the screen is on, the battery just discharges at a crazy speed. It was not like that just before the Android 11 update. Anyone got this problem and found the reason / a fix ?
Thanks
I am having the same issue. An have not found a solution as of yet. I thought it may be the Pixel Launcher. So I changed it to Nova Launcher with no change.
Yes, strange. Mine gets a serious battery drain from 100% to 50% in a short time, even when I don't use it. Then below 50% it is very stable as long as I don't use it. Never experienced this before.

I have the same problem. before that, I was calmly getting 4-6h SOT After updating to Android 11 as lucky as I get 4h SOT. Mostly, however, I have 2.5-3.5 hours. The standby time seems ok, Only during use the battery disappears very fast. ? In my free time I will try the factory reset.
I think i got it...
Hello gentlemen, i got this problem with october update in particular.
So, digging in a google forum i found a user who recommended to install an updated version of Android System Webview (maybe you should download it from apkpure or apkmirror) , Carrier Services and.... uninstall Tune-in (yep... the radio app)
I don't know which one did the trick... but it just did..
I hope it helps!
Can you comment which versions of carrier services and webview you installed?

Sure, i installed webview 86.04240 and (there was a mistake in my prev post) Device Health Services 1.17.0.331553323.
Anyway, i got 2 webview updates since then... so, just install the last one... if you got auto-updates enable you should have your problem fixed by now (i guess that happened to the op).

thanks for the info, unfortunately I checked and I have exactly the same version of the application installed. the problem with the battery remains. the strangest thing is that I have no problem with idle drain, but when used with the screen on, the phone uses almost twice as much energy as before ?
I have the same problem, idle drain is ok, but whenever I use the phone, the battery drains very fast.

finally someone with the same problem. did you do factory reset before updating to Android 11? Because I don't, and I think I'll try to do it.
NO, i didn't do a factory reset because I have seen a lot of people (online) doing it without success. You can see this thread here on Google support, over than 580 comments today...https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/70445129?hl=en
But apparently some people fixed the problem with a factory reset...

I had the same problem and it was a new (at least to me) Google program called "Digital Wellbeing". I had to turn it off, which wasn't a straight forward proposition. I even "uninstalled" which just uninstalled the updates and they came back.
I don't recall exactly all the steps I took, but I now have my trusty Pixel 2 XL back to it's previous battery usage. Which is excellent for a three year old device.
Anyway, turn it off, take away all it's permissions, and do everything you can to shut it down. I was almost ready to root my device just to really get rid of it.
I disabled digital wellbeing, stopped the permissions, and uninstalled the update on the play store, but it didn't fix the battery drain...

A few days have passed and I can see a significant improvement. Honestly, I don't know what actually helped. some app update or maybe something I did, but there's a significant improvement.
In general, I would like to remind that from the update to android 11 my battery was tragic but only when using it, there was no problem with standby.
I was barely able to get 4 SOT hours. Now I can safely exceed 6 hours.
The only modifications I made were:
- leave beta program of digital welbing and its complete shutdown app
- disabled wifi scanning
- disabled Location service for emergency calls ELS
Since then, battery consumption with the screen on has dropped from 25-30%/ h to 12-16%/h. The phone is like new again. In addition, everything works very quickly and smoothly. ??
