News from OnePlus and Cyanogen on battery drain and new update

thez3ro · Aug 19, 2014

This is what Steve Kondik posted on OnePlus forums:

Just a quick update on the power issue in 30O..

Two issues that ended up in the build were identified and fixed. They weren't affecting everyone and were subject to hardware variations and timing, but our engineers worked quickly to get them resolved. The first issue was a very low-level system bus problem, while the second was a problem with how the proximity sensor is used to prevent false unlocks from gestures and double taps. We pride ourselves in the performance and low power consumption of 11S, and after these fixes our lab tests show improved numbers vs. 25R! This will go out as a small hotfix as soon as it's approved. Additionally, we are preparing another update in parallel that brings a few new features, a beautified lock screen, audio enhancements, polish on the new features in 30O, and of course bug fixes.

Both of these new builds are in the final testing and approval phases. I can't give any ETA because we are subject to third parties, but you should see the power hotfix in the next couple of days with the bigger update right on it's heels.

To ensure this doesn't happen again, we are bulking up our automated test systems to cover more cases, more often. Being a startup is both a blessing and a curse- while we can move fast on issues and updates, we are still building our automation and infrastructure. We depend on your feedback to tell us what we're doing right, as well as wrong! Additionally, we are working hard to reduce the time between updates even further so that they are more manageable.

Hang in there for just a bit and that unkillable battery will make a triumphant return.

I dont have that issue, but hope it will help you guys that have it.

Nothing new on this right? Just checked the thread not long ago and it was still in testing.

It was post 4 days ago, nothing new?

It's an old post. Fix still under test and would be released when approved internally in CM. Been waiting for the hotfix since past few days.

This drain is so damn annoying. Been thinking of rolling back but really need the speaker phone fix that came in this update.

Ater two full days on 30O im seriously thinking about going back to 25R. I've gone from 48 hours between charges and 7 hours sot to 18 hours between charges an 3.5 hours sot. The sad part is im sure as soon as I revert the update will come out and Ill have to start over again. Im going to give it at leat one more day.

I wouldn't have seen this if you didn't post it here, I for one greatly appreciate it. I check these forums often but I don't spend hardly any time over at opo forums.
Thanks!

I wonder if we go back to 25r if we will have to go to 30O then apply the new update or will they have a "new and improved" fixed 30O? BTW is your ability to have a different wallpaper on your lockscreen than on your home screen broken also?

bubblebuddyi · Aug 20, 2014

I'm lucky if I can get 4 hours screen on time... Given I don't get good service for 8 hours, but still. I tried all the "fixes" out there. No luck.

I am sure we will in my experience updates always tend to successive based on the previous rarely are they all inclusive.

I can't make the wallpaper be my lock screen, which is sad :/

Using the battery monitor widget I noticed my drain to be around 250ma with good signal and screen on, and well over 650ma when no signal. So keep in mind that lack of signal can triple your drain :/

Thank you, I'm glad you said that when you did because I was just about to do a factory reset.. I'm going to try turning LTE off.

Your welcome! Give it a go, I don't have any lte near me anyway so I turned it off too.

For me the OPO forums are a little chaotic, too much thanking and begging for invites

Btw. Someone posted this as a workaround for the battery drain. Dont know how true it is but if you are willing to try...

Flash the Franco R13 kernel*

Quote*
Just pushed r13 which has a newer Touch Panel firmware from CM. Touch sensitivity seems much improved, which is a VERY welcomed plus. Also added support for PS3 controllers via OTG. I'll add MultiRom support on r14. Enjoy

Works fine with double tap to wake and capacitive buttons disabled. good battery life so far

or try and flash AK CM11S version, maybe latest _31b14 w/o changing back to 25R or smth else, (just to give a try as it is easier to change the Kernel than the ROM (you know...restoring stuff

))
