Oops, I missed it. But I am happy to report that since I disabled backup about 12hrs ago, drain is reduced somewhat. It is still high for my liking but better than before.

I don't see why people want more than 5 or 6 hrs of SOT honestly​ I get 5.5 or 6 max that's perfect for me if you want 8 hrs plus then what life do you have as long as the phone last all day I'm good try enjoying life outside the phone a little more then stressing about getting more SOT than other users it's pointless also to cripple your phone with mods and turning off features or using naptime or greenify just defeats the purpose of having this great device with flagship specs
Agree completely. I am not in a race for more SoT. I just wanted to know the reasons behind abnormally high android os and system drain. The gadgets that we buy are meant to be used and enjoyed. No point in crippling it to such an extent that it defeats the very purpose of buying it in the first place.

When I first got the phone I unlocked bootloader rooted and did my usual setup and wasn't to thrilled with battery life tried different kernels as well plus followed every guide so I just used recovery tool and went back to complete stock and I'm very pleased with battery life and performance

yeah mate
it's a great decision go back to stock:good:
in my opinion Oos is a little custom rom with great features and an awesome stock kernel ,for me it's not worth to flash custom rom's and kernels
but as i said.....thats my opinion

cheers

My battery life on the OnePlus 3T 64GB (OOS 4.1.1) has been quite good. Initially I had some really bad idle consumption due to me restoring apps via Titanium backup from my old phone, but after reinstalling them from the play store the problem fixed itself.

This was me watching a lot of youtube and browsing the web on automatic screen brightness and with WiFi/Data/GPS enabled. I usually only get about 5-6 hours of SOT, as I use my GPS very heavily during the day (1-2 hours).

Impressive SOT

I've been using the OP3T midnight black version for less than a week. As of now, the SOT is an impressive 5 to 6 hrs. I am able to easily get through a day and a half with a single charge.

Can't help it, have to ask... What on earth do you people do with your phone when you get those 8-10h screen on times? Many on those screenshots show that biggest three "drains" are screen, android system and android os. So, why is the screen on, if there is no app on that list that you are using?

No, I'm not unsatisfied with SOT. I can get 5hrs SOT and about 1.5d standby, with usage of swipe (Facebook-app), instagram, tapatalk, xda-labs, K9-mail. Just wondering if there is some substitute to those apps, that does not drain battery so much. Honestly I did think that I have quite normal usage pattern...

Stock ROM, but rooted with Franco Kernel r18 using default settings and Adaway blocking. I use WhatsApp, Hangouts, Skype, Slack, Google Now for IMs and they cause a lot of wakelocks, but my standby time is still excellent with 2-3% per 8 hour of standby.

I didn't do much, I don't use Facebook app, instagram, twitter, etc. I use it on my Chrome browser, works fine. I don't get the terrible battery drains caused by those apps.

Yep, official facebook-app is battery hog, that's why I use Swipe. There is much that we can do to the battery drain by choise of apps and some settings, but usage pattern has biggest influence I think. So there is no point in direct comparison of SOT. Like I said, I'm very happy with 5-6h SOT that I'm getting with my usage pattern. Was just wondering what other people is doing with their phones when they get those 8-10h SOT. And of course I'm curious if there is something that I could do to get better SOT without change of usage pattern. I have already changed from official facebook-app to swipe, and changed all possible apps to dark theme. That way I got 1h more SOT.

Probably set screen to never sleep and just let it sit there to rack up bigger number which is pointless 5 to 6 hours is great for me I work my 8 hour shift go home and do my regular browsing through my phone and I'll have 30% when I'm ready for bed I can't even sit starring at my screen for 8 hours or more especially with 4 kids to take care of people who want to achieve that much sot is just pointless just use the device and stop trying to kill everything good about it

I have 110-120 apps installed. I get excellent SOT now that I've cut a LOT of useless applications out of my diet. I also use Greenify. You can see my setup in my signature. I'd say I get between 5-6 hours SOT. I also have a Pitch Black substratum theme for most of my applications - and it not only looks beautiful but it works almost flawlessly. Chrooma Keyboard set to AMOLED, my keyboard is also black with bright neon adaptive coloring.
