Hi all,

Now, I've never gotten great battery life (combination of screen on time and idle) with any phone. I don't use them all that much apart from bursts and my OnePlus 3 would get me 3 hours SoT tops within 24 hours before I need to charge again.

However since Nougat I'm struggling to get even 1 hour SoT.

I'm using Bluetooth, NFC, both SIMS and nothing else untoward. This is the same as pre-Nougat.

Anyone else seen their battery life die since the update

Batter life is great i suggest you do a clean install wipe everything on your phone after making a backup on your phone ofcourse and start again. I use 2 sims and i have an average of 5:30 to 6 hours sot

Hey Konvict

Can you answer these questions then please?

  1. How long a period of time is that 5-6 hours of SoT over? 24 hours of standby?
  2. What radios and apps do you have running that might eat battery?

I would say about 24 hours....i normally charge my phone at the end of the day when i have about 40-55 percent battery left but even then i usually have goften 2:30- 3 hrs screen on time depending on the day. I will attach a screenshot of my battery today and maybe u can take a look at it.
Actually today this nougat looks very good.

You both seem to be using both WiFi and multiple SIMs - strange then.

I can't use GSAM as I don't have root and Nougat stops the app by app recording of battery use for third parties, otherwise I could see what was happening.

I do have a number of email accounts, and messenger apps, but these sit dormant most of the day (i have no friends obviously lol)

Hmm, maybe a wipe IS needed.

You guys got a great battery life, I got 2:30 in my good days, never above it!
However, someone told me to switch Doze off from developer options, I just did that and I'm currently charging my device, will see if it do any good by the end of today "fingers crossed"

PS. I'm using Freedom OS 2.0 with clean install + using Bluetooth and 2 SIM (one for calls and the other for data)

I'm also noticing a big drop in battery life after switching from marshmallow to nougat on my OP3T. Cleared cache & did factory reset, as I always do. All apps and settings the same, and usage the same. Drain seems to be extreme, not sure what's going on. The battery life was AMAZING on marshmallow... kind of regretting switching now

Go back to the previous versions of Facebook and Messenger. These two have been draining battery like hell for sometime now.

EDIT: Try SuperSU 2.79 final.
