Try disabling Play Services completely temporarily as a test and check result.

A hardcore battery optimized ROG device in a nearly de-googled state and nearly all background sync and services disabled should have ridiculous long battery and stand-by life.

I've had my ROG 6 since mid to late November. I'm on WW-32.2810.2210.220, and have bootloader unlocked, but haven't rooted or done any other changes. Nothing has changed since at least end of November 2022, but in the past week or so, I have also noticed significantly more battery drain. Not sure what's going on.

Edit: Also - I have mine operating on Verizon USA.

    Congratulations. 0.2%/h is a very good result.

    That's great!

    What build number of Android OS are you running?

    I'd be grateful, if you could check it and post it here.

    Have you done anything to get this performance or is it "out of the box"?

    Thanks!

    I note that you are not on the latest version (.241). That could explain the difference. Perhaps I saw the near to zero consumption before I accepted the update to .241? That is quite possible.

    I've done a lot of app debloating as well, removing Facebook, etc., but as I mentioned before, there are no apps that cause any noteworthy battery consumption. Did you do anything out of the ordinary? I first just uninstalled and/or disabled some apps/services that I did not need and later even uninstalled some via ADB. The latter made no difference regarding battery consumption.

    My 5%/24h figure comes from

    41.3% Android System
    15.2% Kernel (Android OS)
    4.4% Phone Services
    3.5% com.android.systemui:screenshot
    3.1% Google Play services
    2.0% com.google.uid.shared:.....
    1.9% GSam Battery Monitor
    0.9% ASUS Launcher

    There are some more (e.g., 0.4% Gmail) but they don't use much at all.


    Time Held Awake (over a 37h period):
    Kernel (Android OS) 10m 53s
    Android System 4m 1s
    Google Play services 16s
    com.google.uid.shared:..... 2s
    com.android.systemui:screenshot 1s

    That's all, no other apps/services are reported to keep the phone awake (while it was idling).


    Number of times Waking Device
    Google Play services 48
    Android System 34
    Calendar Storage 8
    android.uid.calendar:..... 7
    com.android.systemui:screenshot 6
    com.google.android.partnersetup 5

    There are a few more, but the next one has a figure of 3 and the rest are all lower.

    No network data used (no SIM card, Wifi turned off) and no location used either.

    I note that further battery consumers were sensors used by

    Dirac Control Service 13m 5s
    Android System 1m 17s

    I do not know whether this is normal.

    Is it possible to revert to the .197 firmware (or whatever firmware version my phone originally had) by performing a factory reset?
    Or does the latter just clear all user data but leaves the current firmware in place?
    In the latter case I would have to flash the .197 firmware manually, correct?
    Would the latter be safe regarding warranty, etc.?

    I don't want to root the phone or anything like that, I just would like to avoid unnecessary battery consumption.

    Try to force stop and clear data & clear cache of Google play services , then reboot your device , charge to full and then see what happens

    I would say Google play services is causing the issue. Also I forgot to mention, make sure you force stop, then click "uninstall updates" on Google play services, then clear cache , then Clear data then reboot your phone.

    If that doesn't help, I highly recommend you dow load BBS (Better battery stats) , give it adb permissions, and monitor your battery life/wakelocks with that app

    Thanks for the tip! I've done that before, without the "charge to full". I can try the exact sequence you have described.

    Given the usage figures, Google play services are not using much:

    Just
    3.1% Google Play services

    compared to

    41.3% Android System
    15.2% Kernel (Android OS)
    4.4% Phone Services

    Are you saying that either Google Play services are using battery in a way that GSam does not catch, or that Google Play services somehow responsible for the high system consumption?
