When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 3T's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I've had the phone for 2 days now and overnight battery drain is around 5%, but the real problem is that Android System takes up around 30% of my battery.

in 8h night (standby) i get 1-2% drain.
wifi, sync enabled.

if you get major drain, then its something on your setup causing it.
its always like that. (except something is broken on hardware side)

My experience is that the phone is better than average for sleep drain, just ~1-2 % with stock kernel. With Tyranus kernel v12 by @mdalexca, I'm not seeing any drain overnight at all. Battery life on medium usage looks to be a few days at least. (Yeah, I'm a light user aside from my first week with a new phone where I nearly wear it out ;;))

Using Nova Launcher ...experiencing battery drain 3~4% overnight (5-7 hours) with WiFi off. But during the day, WiFi on, not even touching phone and it goes down 10% in an hour and a half. Battery reports Android System as the culprit. Any suggestions guys?

Hows your deep sleep, working ok? Even if it shows Android system, it could be some app which isnt working correctly.

I got someone here with one plus 3 non t version (I got t, same problem like you) and is just flashed Chinese version of one plus 3 on his phone and zero drain but bare in mind the Chinese version doesn't got Google services at all , no play store and stuff , is saying is got more juice now , but I am just thinking you will need to install Google services for YouTube and stuff . Hmmm just saying Google battery hog .
For now I am waiting for developers to receive their phone . I just can't wait for many custom ROMs

How do I check the deep sleep? I just went back to the shop and idk what they did but they said they ran a software check(?) And asked me to try the phone again for a day. Surprisingly overnight with wifi off only went down 1℅ (but this was on oneplus launcher) but then during the day it drained as fast as previous. But now the batt reports show first Android OS, Cell standby and then Android system....:confused: :(

I'm not sure is it possible to check it without the root, but if you are rooted, then BetterBatteryStats is quite handy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en

I have the MBA bug. I see a lot of people avoid it by staying on WiFi but I can't. Result is rapid battery drain.

I'm still getting reasonable battery though if I remember to toggle airplane mode. Device sleeps well enough. Almost perfect awake to screen on ratio.

why don't you disable wifi/bt scanning and disable facebook/messenger notificationn?
oneplus is actually well optimized and drain is about 4% overnight
Wifi scanning and bluetooth is already disabled, and facebook isn't installed. This same issue exists in Oneplus 3 and Oneplus is not bothered to fix it.
