Huge battery drain!

[Thomas Val]

Hi! Im running oos 4.5.8 with ElementalX kernel. The past few days im getting a huge battery drain while idle. (30 % overnight WITH airplane mode). I installed betterbatterystats but I dont really understand what I should be looking for. Could anyone explain what I should be looking for, or maybe take a look at these logs from the app?
(uploading on dropbox because file sizes where too big). Thanks in advance!

It's most likely your WiFi. I'm sure you left WiFi on during airplane mode right? At least that's the culprit for me. The only workaround until Oneplus fixes the WiFi idle drain is to either manually turn off wifi everytime you don't use it or change WiFi Settings of "Keep WiFi on during sleep" from "Always" to Never (or "Only when plugged in" also works).

Ah, okay, interesting.
Did you try deleting cache/wipe dalvik in recovery? It doesn't delete any of your apps or data, only a temporary cache. People here on xda said after updating the OS battery drain sometimes happens, but deleting the cache/dalvik in recovery solved the issue.
Otherwise, you could install Wakelock Detector Lite (not root, because the root application is broken for now) and check what's waking and draining your device exactly. But anyway I'd firstly delete the cache.

I'll try that, if the drain persists I'll let you know.. thanks again!

Hi
I am too facing the same issue dont know why. Though my SOT is good around 6 to 7 hrs but phone in idle mode draining like hell. I kept my phone wifi on though i can only see it used around 50 mah the whole night. I have oneplus 3T too that is still working amazingly with decrease from 100 to only 94 percent though oneplus 5 decresed from 100 to 75 percent in idle mode with same settings .
I have already deleted cache memory

Don't trust the inbuilt battery stats. Turn WiFi off and see if the phone sleeps/enters doze as it should.

Mate, I'm no developer but it's understandable that 3T and 5 are different phones, have different hardware and OS. The one for OP5 is just not optimised yet. Reportedly the devs are working on OOS 4.6 that is supposed to address the WiFi drain problem.

@ipredatorv it seems to have worked for me, got only 3 % drain, thanks for the tip

You're welcome. After the upcoming 4.6 update we can try to revert to WiFi always on (because it really shouldn't drain like that), but until then this workaround fixes it.
