(After updating i format my phone.)
After update i find my phone get very hot while browsing internet,
what u think it consuming 200mb ram. same thing with chrome browser.
]
what u think ?
check ur phone.
it get very hot & consume more power. big problem with gaming. it get hang while playing survival-craft v1.7 .not in one time. many times.
i flash my phone with lollipop three times. but same problem.
to me its a very shame to Samsung update.
in kitkat everything work fine. that is why i am downgrade to 4.4.4
i also found that Samsung has some issue with Ram manage in lollipop update in other phone also.

Lollipop by design uses more ram... you are free to go to KK if you want, but it's hard for you to make valid points if in practice I see something else...
On my phone the biggest Ram consumer is Facebook with 126 Ram, fallowed by Settings with 88, Google services 79, facebook messenger 40 Mb, SHealth 36, then email 25... then a plethora of apps with less than 5 mb. Free Ram 600-700Mb.
To be frank, I disabled: Chrome, Gmail, Google Music, Books and all because I don't use them... Firefox is the favorite browser because it's fast and I also use it on the desktop.
Tell me you feel the phone is sluggish? If not why do you care, I see apps that I never started in RAM, but that is a good thing, there is no swapping, ideally you should have ZERE free ram with everything loaded up. If you have battery problems and phone gets hot then you have a rogue app that it's keeping the phone alive... try to find out what it is and uninstall it... simple as that!
Do you have a custom recovery installed? So you could try to wipe /system as well before flashing the firmware via odin, perhaps your phone saves some relicts in /system-partition that cause the problems...
Did you try factory reset after lollipop upgrade? I did it because I couldn't stand how sluggish it was, also ran hot. What a big difference! It's now fast and smooth. It does get hot when browsing but not nearly as hot or frequently. The Alpha is my best loved phone I ever own.
i Use those apps why should i disable them. i don't like white theme it consume more power compare to kitkat dark theme. i use to charge my phone 3 times a day in kitkat but in lollipop 4 times a day. do u know Samsung is going to update galaxy alpah to lollipop 5.1.1 in this year , i will try that lollipop 5.1.1 update . not 5.0.2 ever. its a very bad update .not stable as kitkat.
i do a factory reset after lollipop upgrade.nothing change . i flash France , United Arab Emirates & Malaysian region lollipop. all are same. i found France one is better compare to other two.but in France one my left soft key is not working.
Charging 4 times a day? Dude get a life... At those rates, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what app kills the battery... It's possible you already need a new battery... Li-Po batteries have a 300-500 charge cycle before they start degrading... Buy a new battery!
Maybe he's a gamer thats why he charge his phone 3 times a day hehe!

my phone battery life is ok. if i don't play with it it last more than a day.
why u buy smartphone? to keep it with u. or have some fun with it.
I think you've got my message wrong: 500 Cycles/ 3 charges a day = 166 days = 5.5 months. If your phone is more than 4 months old with aggressive use like yours, the battery already started losing it's max capacity, even if it seems to keep a good charge if unused 1 day.
If I don't use my phone it easily lasts 7-8 days!... (Keeping it on the night stand, I've did it once just as an experiment).
Now to get back on the subject that started this thread, Malaysian rom gets really really good battery usage for me, yesterday I've gone to sleep with more than 60% after a full day at work ( 8Am - 24 mostly phone calls and occasional Facebook check). It's easily the most use I've got with this phone, better than any KK rom, granted Battery saving mode was on during most of the day with grayscale screen. When I first bought this phone I was really angry as it's one of the crappiest phones around regarding battery life. It's the only phone where I can see my battery taking a -1% every time I read my emails. That is ****ed up!
It's not a good phone regarding battery life! Even with light use it's hard to get by after just one busy day at work, so I've started using battery saving mode as a workaround. I know it's not ideal, but it's a crappy phone, deal with it!
My old HTC ONE S got easily more screen on time with a 1650 Mah battery (same kind of amoled pentile crappy screen)... The Alpha is too powerful, too power hungry.
P.S.: Sorry if I've sent the wrong message... it was not my intention!
Lollipop is way smoother for me after upgrade. The battery life is also same if not better. I am using a Korean ROM for 850L though. I have Wifi On all day and get 3-3.5hrs SOT.
All I did was upgrade via Samsung Kies and its not even a full wipe.
After update to 5.0.2 (Israel) my phone also warming up when i using Chrome browser.
I personally don't think lollipop is worth the risks...since it is difficult to go back to 4.4.
Initially we heard Android L would improve Camera, have RAW Camera support and VoLTE....but not yet.
Since my Alpha is 99.9% bug free now ...I don't want to take the chance of 5.0 ...
That's why i like kk more than lollipop, i can't have this battery stat with lollipop

I'm switching back to KitKat. The battery drain sucks big time. I am going thru 2 batteries a day and no real new features that I can see...
Is there a way to go back without losing all my setup (apps, homepage setup, passwords, etc.) or do I just have to do a factory reset?

Factory reset is a must otherwise you'll end up bootloop but you can factory reset thru recovery but you'll loose all of your files.
Before downgrade back up all your files to computer and do a factory reset then use odin and downgrade.
But if same android version example 4.4.4 reflashing thru odin no need to factory reset or upgrade 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 no need factory reset.
Re-Flashed back to Kit Kat, much happier.
If I can just get rid of the stupid software update notification.
I ain't going back to Lollipop. What a waste.

Titanium back up then freeze!!!
Mine is SM-G850Y
I flashed back to KitKat because Lollipop update don't have "Embedded Secure Element" in NFC Settings
Which causes my Banking app's tap and pay function not working anymore.
warning - bricked sm-a500fu after downgrade to KK
Be warned:
I had rooted my 4.4.4 with kingroot, changed to SuperSU with supersume and unrooted with SuperSU. Then went back to stock (all official no Knox) with Odin (4.4.4 (A500FUXXU1AOB4_A500FUATO1AOB1_A500FUXXU1AOB4_HOME.tar.md5).
Then I went from stock to 5.0.2 (A500FUXXU1BOE6_A500FUATO1BOE1_A500FUXXU1BOE6_HOME.tar.md5) with Odin.
Actually after updating from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 (with odin) the phone converted a lot of apps during startup - Did this also take minutes for you guys ?
All fine and phone quite fast, but no chance to root with Kingroot.
So I wanted back to 4.4.4 I used Odin again and flashed the 4.4.4 as written above. And then: BRICK. Please tell me and others what I possibly did wrong:

Trying to figure out why my battery life is relatively crappy (usually averaging >8% drain/hour under typical use), even when I'm not using the device.
Anyone on Marshmallow (Android 6.0) able to experience the 'Deep Sleep' processor state? I cannot, and I'm trying to determine if there's a particular app (or more) that's causing wakelocks, or if this is just something I need to live with. Without root, it's nearly impossible to tell what's causing wakelocks directly.
If it is an app, I can try to find it, but I really don't want to uninstall and then selectively re-install hundreds of apps only to find out that the device doesn't sleep anyway (if rooted, I could freeze all user apps and then slowly unfreeze, but that's not an option without root).
To be clear, I'm NOT talking about the Doze feature that comes with Android 6.0. I'm talking about the Deep Sleep processor state that is below the low (384Mhz) processor state.
On all my other previous devices, I've achieved this state - granted, most of these were rooted, and I had custom ROMS and custom governors. This device seems to use the Interactive Governor. Maybe that governor doesn't sleep at all?
Anyway, if one or more of you confirm that you're achieving this state, then I'll burn some more time on it, otherwise....
thanks!

I'm getting deep sleep. The battery drain could just be the phone itself. My battery life on the v10 is also pretty bad.

Thank you. Here's mine. Notice zero deep sleep in many, many hours. I feel like this is something that has changed.
Confirming - you're on Android 6?
I guess I'll (reluctantly) do a factory reset and add my apps back. Thanks.

Yes I am on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. I'm assuming your also on 6.0 also? Try check your wakelocks on your v10 and see if there is anything unusual.

Yes, Android 6. Unfortunately wake lock info is all but useless without root, unless the offender is really obvious.
I uninstalled almost 130 apps, and this far have reinstalled a little over half. The good news is that she's sleeping again. The bad news is that I'm still not sure which app was causing the issue.

A factory reset helped me out after the update
Be thankful you aren't me right now. I just rooted and put xposed on my phone and my battery is draining from 100% to dead in about 2hours 45minutes...with no screen on time. Granted I'm using wifi tether but still that isn't good, nor normal. When I'm using the phone it's dying at an extreme rate; Like phones from 4 and 5 years ago would. Battery usage says android system is causing most of the drain. Something is seriously wrong ><

That's just wrong. Did you change out the ROM for a custom one, or just root? You might want to try a full wipe and start over if you haven't already.
Truthfully, a couple months ago I debated not taking the MM upgrade so that I could root 5.1.x. - ostensibly to give me more control over battery-related information and activities. I took the upgrade, and - now that my device is sleeping again - I'm kinda glad I did - Android's getting better at controlling rogue apps and with other battery saving methods (e.g., Doze mode). I guess what I'm saying is that if you can't fix your massive drain issue, you could always unroot and take the upgrade ...

I got it sorted. Back to normal battery life.
I was actually on MM for a while but I had to get another phone because my old one started having some screen issues and the one they sent me had 5.1.1 on it so I decided to go ahead and not upgrade this time so I could root and have xposed. For now I'm sticking with 5.1.1 Now that I have everything setup I'm getting great battery life. I got over 4 hours of SOT time yesterday and today 6/6/2016 I got over 3 hours of SOT and 2 hours of tethering and about 10 hours overall before having to plug in.
Once I wiped after OTA my battery was WAY better.
I'm having a serious battery drain problem that i cannot figure out. I'm on mm 6.0 and the phone won't doze nor deep sleep. I did a factory reset several times and it's still eating battery in a ridiculous manner. Any help is appreciated.

Did you try it after the factory reset but before adding back your apps?

Hey everybody
So I've been losing 30%+ a night (6-7 hours) since I got my G5 (H850) a few weeks ago and it's really getting to me.
On stock Nougat my phone would just about get through the work day (barely being used, bit of twitter and some whatsapp) and after trawling the internet for answers found a lot of people complaining that LG's Nougat update had slaughtered their battery life. So I decided to root and install a custom ROM (RR 5.8.3) instead to see if that would fix the problem. I've been installing custom ROMs, rooting and fixing android issues etc since my first Galaxy S1 so was pretty confident I could fix whatever problem I found from the knowledge on these forums and elsewhere on the internet.
Turns out I was very, very wrong.
I've found out my phone is a total insomniac. It will NOT SLEEP. EVER. Light doze, sure. But not a good old fashioned kip. Literally always wide awake. Have a look at the wakelock detector screengrab - I've never seen anything like it on any phone. 94% awake with seemingly every app just doing as it pleases.
"Anx_wlock" seems to be the main culprit, but I can't find any info on it. I've tried changing kernel, done 2 or 3 factory resets with no success at improving it. Tried turning off location, turning off wifi. Nothing makes any difference. PowerManagerService.Wakelocks comes in a close second, and I've turned off NFC in RR's inbuilt wakelock blocker as I'd read that could be an issue in 7.x.
I have scoured the forums for any solution but now I either have to consult the collective hive mind or just accept ****ty battery life forever.
Luckily I have 2 batteries - but this drain just seems crazy and I would dearly love to fix it! Can any of you wonderful people help a brother out and help my phone get some much needed rest?
Any help or suggestions very much appreciated
Cheers

Can you go back to stock marshallow (maybe using lg flash tool?) or is antirollback preventing this? If xposed is out for nougat, you can try force doze, which should help with standby. Maybe flashing a custom kernel might help?

Thanks for the response! I've yet to try going back to Marshmallow (my H850 came with Nougat pre-installed) but will give that a go next. No xposed for Nougat yet, sadly, so no Amplify either to force doze. Although the phone seems to doze okay, it just doesn't sleep.
I installed Fulmics last night (having already tried SpeedyKernel on RR) and I still have exactly the same issue. 0 seconds deep sleep and my battery died overnight. 100% to off in under 8 hours while I slept. So the problem has now been consistent across 3 kernels.
Whatever this bastard "anx_wlock" is, it seems to carry across different kernel/rom flashes as it's there again in better battery stats at 100% wakelock. Any ideas how I can track down what this is? Doesn't seem to be related to any process and no info about it on the web.
As always any help appreciated!

Sorry, im not sure how to track it. Im assuming that when you flashed the custom rom, you cleared the data, system, and caches?
Same thing on my lg g5 ls992 unlocked. 80% battery drain in 10 hours while I was asleep. Got this phone a few days ago, this really disappoints me. According to betterbatterystats anx_wlock is draining it. Hoping for a solution...
i am also getting too low battery life in stock 7.0
Try this, it will solve your problem.
1) Remove your Google account
2) Wipe Play Services, Google, and Play Store data
3) If rooted, find an app which can clear cache and dalvik or use TWRP, if not then send ADB commands
4) Reboot
5) Add your Google account back again

Hi, yes - wiped everything as normal with every flash. Haven't had time to try and fix this with a rollback to stock MM yet. Looking increasingly like the last viable option, unless this wakelock blocker gets ported to the G5...
Did u freshly install your apps from the Playstore or did you restore them from a Backup? How does it behave with only the stock apps installed?
Ofc it doesnt make it easier being on a custom rom and kernel.

Hey there, cheers for getting involved!
From the moment I got it the batteries (I have 2) were both draining far faster than I expected. That was stock only for at least the first few hours (I had to drive home before I could set it up but had it switched on in the car), and I think it lost about 4-5% in the hour it took me to get back across London.
I got this phone to replace a Nexus 5x that took a swim. The battery life on that phone was nothing to write home about, but from reviews I'd read I expected far better from the G5. It's actually proving to be significantly worse. I should add that I never have 100s of apps installed. Bluemail, Whatsapp, Dark Sky, Amazon, eBay, Twitter, Player FM, Keep, Citymapper and Waze is pretty much it (and subsequently all the wakelock detectors and battery stats, but that's only been since I've noticed the problem). And none of these seem to be the reason for the wakelock.
When I first got the phone I couldn't restore from Google backup for some reason (didn't come up as an option) - so I installed everything fresh. Battery was bad then.
Full factory reset to unlock bootloader and install twrp, allowed backup to replace apps. Same problem.
Wiped System, Data, Caches & Installed RR - fresh installed apps (as I'd read this could be a problem). Same problem. Had a look in their onboard system wakelock blocker but couldn't find anything reference "anx_wlock".
Wiped System, Data, Caches & Installed Fulmics - fresh installed apps again. Same problem.
I'm absolutely stumped. I've also been tweeting at LG UK with better battery stats about this "anx_wlock" problem to see if it's a known issue to them. So far getting resoundingly ignored.
P.S. Yes Vulfpeck.

From your post I cant tell if you tried it 100% stock. I dont know citymapper but waze should be continuously scanning for location. If i was you, i would factory reset without installing any apps and see if the problem still persists (or maybe at least uninstalling waze and citymapper).
the bad battery after your first start after unboxing it doesnt count as the phone is building up caches and doing other stuff

Hmm, I really wouldn't try LG UK; I had a half hour debate with their customer service manager on why monthly security updates should be regular but they insisted nothing will come out... next month the update comes through.
I still think you should try just running barebones for a day; maybe allow for WhatsApp but do not install anything else. I have an issue with the G5 too with standby times but to a lesser extent (I have had 30% drops over 11hrs when the phone was on flight mode...).
Also, I'm assuming that they will known that you've unlocked your bootloader so you can't get your phone exchanged via LG?

I live in Ukraine, I took the phone to the repair service. They told me that the phone is not properly activated (using HiddenMenuCall) and because of that it is constantly trying to connect to Sprint servers to activate the device. Without unlocked bootloader it is impossible to do anything. That's their version. Maybe they are right about my device

How I solved my battery issues
I had massive and unusual battery drain issues like described in this thread. After much reading and detective work, I’ll describe my situation and what worked for me.
Bought unlocked LG G5 RS988 to replace my LG G4
The phone arrived with Android 6 installed. Immediately upgraded to the latest Android 7 security patch
Transferred my apps and settings over from my LG G4 to the G5 using LG Backup to wirelessly transfer between the 2 phones
After G5 was set up the battery life (in Doze while not using the phone) was great. It might drop 2 – 3% overnight on Wi-Fi
After a few days the battery would drop between 5-12% per hour while in doze. There were no rogue apps running in the background. The main culprit was Android OS and Phone Idle…
Rooted the phone and tried every battery saving setting I could find and used Greenify and CPU throttling as well. This resulted in no improvement.
I had a second RS988 I could test (long story). Followed the same steps as listed in 1-4 but again after a day or so the battery life would crap out.
Took the rooted phone and downgraded to Android 6. Reinstalled each app from the Google Play Store (did not use the LG backup as in #3 above). Made recommended battery settings changes in the Android OS and installed Greenify. Did not make any other changes (e.g. CPU throttling)
Now after 2 weeks overnight my battery drops between 1 – 3 % per night. This is the performance I expected.
In a nutshell – not using a LG backup file and installing everything fresh solved my battery issues.
I’m going to wait another week and then reinstall Android 7 to see if that makes a difference. I will update this post with my results.
Update
After a few weeks on Marshmallow software version RS98811d and getting good / expected battery life, I decided to upgrade to RS98821d (Android 7 with latest security update). The battery drain I originally described returned even after a complete wipe and reinstall of all my apps. Kept the configuration for about a week hoping for an improvement in battery life but there was none.
Went back to RS98811d and have no plans on upgrading to |Android 7 again with this phone. The smart lock suggestion in the post immediately below did nothing for me.

Hey everybody
So I've been losing 30%+ a night (6-7 hours) since I got my G5 (H850) a few weeks ago and it's really getting to me.
On stock Nougat my phone would just about get through the work day (barely being used, bit of twitter and some whatsapp) and after trawling the internet for answers found a lot of people complaining that LG's Nougat update had slaughtered their battery life. So I decided to root and install a custom ROM (RR 5.8.3) instead to see if that would fix the problem. I've been installing custom ROMs, rooting and fixing android issues etc since my first Galaxy S1 so was pretty confident I could fix whatever problem I found from the knowledge on these forums and elsewhere on the internet.
Turns out I was very, very wrong.
I've found out my phone is a total insomniac. It will NOT SLEEP. EVER. Light doze, sure. But not a good old fashioned kip. Literally always wide awake. Have a look at the wakelock detector screengrab - I've never seen anything like it on any phone. 94% awake with seemingly every app just doing as it pleases.
"Anx_wlock" seems to be the main culprit, but I can't find any info on it. I've tried changing kernel, done 2 or 3 factory resets with no success at improving it. Tried turning off location, turning off wifi. Nothing makes any difference. PowerManagerService.Wakelocks comes in a close second, and I've turned off NFC in RR's inbuilt wakelock blocker as I'd read that could be an issue in 7.x.
I have scoured the forums for any solution but now I either have to consult the collective hive mind or just accept ****ty battery life forever.
Luckily I have 2 batteries - but this drain just seems crazy and I would dearly love to fix it! Can any of you wonderful people help a brother out and help my phone get some much needed rest?
Any help or suggestions very much appreciated
Cheers

I'm having the exact same symptoms on the same device. Sadly no information is available online for this kernel wakelock. Will report back if I find any solution
I had / have this issue myself so i had to go back to my oneplus one again ubtil i fixed the drain.
My g5 just refused to go into deep sleep and didnt make a whole day even without touching the phone. Also tried stock rom no apps installed.
What i found out:
After removing my simcard the g5 is deep-sleeping again like it should. It wouldnt do that even when i went into airplane mode.
Maybe my simcard is defective... I'll try it with my wifes sim later and we'll see what happens
Gesendet von meinem LG-H850 mit Tapatalk
Thanks for all the posts everyone. Still no joy on solutions though!
Nchantment - I tried getting a new sim to no avail. Still the same crazy drain.
Just seen that xposed is now available for nougat - has anyone tried nixing anx_wlan with that? (I've never used xposed before but I gather you can get right inside your kernel/os in this way...)
Refuse to believe this is a hardware issue!

Hey everyone,
The battery life on my S9+ seems extremely mediocre. After not even 2 hours of SOT I am left with less then 25% battery. Also, Google seems to be using the most battery.

Is this a recognizable and fixable problem or should I send it back?
Thanks for your help!
That could be due to not-so-optimized software.
My device is still stuck on the January update, so I'd guess that there will be an update soon.
Future updates might very well fix / improve the SoT, so it's basically down to: do you want to wait for updates or are you willing to use custom roms down the line?
If you answered "no" to both, then feel free to return it and get a different device.

You can pretty much be confident it'll be a software issue and nothing to do with hardware. There will be fixes and optimizations coming. Naturally the battery burns down a lot faster in the first few days.

I'm now on 2 percent after 2 hours and 10 minutes SOT. Surely this must be more than unoptimized software? My S8+ lasted way longer and software wise it seems the same.
For me it's decent, this is my first charge (s9+ duos)

That's not normal at all. Do you use the Google app regularly? Perhaps for voice searches or something like that?
I'ts not supposed to drain anywhere near that much.
The March security patch OTA was released for some countries today, check for an update, and after installing it, I'd recommend a factory reset and then start from scratch.

I don’t use the Google App at all I think. I do have Google Assisant and “OK Google” on, but surely that cannot be the cause? I haven’t used it once today.
I’m letting it charge back to 100% after which I will see if there’s an update. If it’s the same thing tommorow, i should probably return it, right?

No, don't return it just yet. This isn't a hardware problem.
Check if there's an update for the Google app, if not, here is the latest stable APK for it:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...le-app-7-22-24-21-arm64-android-apk-download/
Once you install this. Clear cache and data for the app, reboot your phone. Charge it fully to 100% and then go about your day and see if the battery life changes.
If it doesn't, give it one last shot by doing a factory reset (and/or updating to the March patch), and then observing battery drain.
If all that fails, then yeah sure, return it.
You have some weird thing going on
As you can see the battery is great it might be that its downloading all of your email attachments you should disable downloading email attachments via wifi on your gmail account. Reset phone and dont install it see how it goes first

I installed the latest Google app using the link you provided and cleared the cache and data. There weren't any software updates available yet, however.
I do have a suspicion. Normally I always set my phone up from scratch but this time I used Samsung Smart Switch to quickly move things over from my S8+. I've got a feeling that this may be the cause but I'm not sure. I'll see how it goes first before I reset my phone.

I completely disabled Gmail using package disabler since I use Nine for my mail anyway. I'll go another day like this and if it's still this bad, I'm going to reset and setup from scratch. I'll keep you guys posted.

Mine still going strong; January 1 security patch.
But this is with wifi and indoor use, LTE and day light will be another story... And almost no real standby today.

It can take at least several charge/discharge cycles for the metrics related to discharge levels to home in an a reasonably accurate curve, and this also depends on your particular app usage pattern. For now, as the HGTTU says: "Don't Panic!"
Hey, guys. Here comes the good new.
Let me make it short:
My nexus 6p back to life with 8 functional cores after battery replacing.
Here's the full story:
I'm a nexus fan from China. About half year ago, my phone shut down unexpectedly, and can't even boot into recovery. All messages lead to one possibility: BOLD! After struggling for few days and searching resolution online, i bring my dear nexus 6p back to life with help from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-fix-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-blod-t3640279
However, as you guys know, it's done by turning off 4 big cores, which results in a performance hit. After that, i've been using my phone for almost 6 months without any issue till recently turn to oneplus 6, which soon becomes my far phone
This weekend, my sister's phone dead and she asks me if my old nexus 6p is still working. The battery life is pretty bad so i was planning to replace a new battery before giving it to her. When i was replacing battery, the idea comes into my mind that maybe the four big cores cannot function because of wear battery. so i try an experiment by reflashing rom and kernel. Then, boom! it comes back to life with 8 cores.
Here's the details:
1. run into BOLD 6 months ago
2. bring back to life by disabling four 4 cores: flashing 4 cores version twrp, 4 cores boot img patch
3. keep functioning for 6 months without any issue, except a sever performance hit.
4. replace the battery 6 months later.
5. reflash 8 cores nitrogen 8.1 and elementalX 6.07, (didn't flash the 4 core patch zip from URL above)
6. successfully boot up but kernel editor shows that four big cores are off

8. download an Chinese app called "镧系统工具"（system tools），turn on 4 big cores.
9. 4 big cores back to life !!!
10. install xposed, reboot several times, 4 big cores keep functioning.
11. So far so good....
i can't guarantee that every phone can be brought back as i did. But i think this might help someone who don't want to give up his n6p.
If you do success, please let me know, and share your happiness with all nexus fans here.
Sorry for my poor English.

hey every one
same issue i faced, my nexus 6p suddenly had BLOD, i managed to install the fix from Xda and it booted. after 8 month my phone started to shut down at 15%.
i replaced the battery and flashed a stock rom and it booted normal with full working 8 cores. so i figured out that the battery was making the boot loop.
now my Nexus 6p has twrp and cdriod rom with 8 cores.
Note:
In my country i didn't find a Nexus 6p battery in stock. i found huawei GR5 battery it was 3000ma. it was the same battery, same connector, same size and same connector flat position.
now my phone works perfect without any issue. the battery lasts for a day and a half with normal use.
Great, but I'd be too scared to kill off my phones with a BLOD. I have one of the 3600mah replacement batteries that reads 100% at 8months and another that says 103% capacity at 6 months use. I'm fastidious with accubattery and only charge to 80%. I'm not going to jump on to this just yet. I have a BLOD phone I couldn't get out of a bootloop no matter what. Heated it. Froze it, drained the battery to nearly nothing and nothing would get it out of the BLOD.
What it did do was allow me to "practice" with the tools on battery replacement so I could refine the technique before I tried it on my "good" phones. I've come to the conclusion that someone probably locked the bootloader with
a custom ROM on the phone. I've been told that will irretrievably kill a phone no matter what. Most newer custom ROM's won't let a person do that now. Kurt
Tried on mine but without any luck... Still BLOD after replacing the battery!

Guys, don't try this. That's not a permanent solution. Though my phone turn up with eight cores, it's really unstable, rebooting or freezing occasionally after keeping functional normally for few days, making it almost unusable, so I prefer to go back to 4 cores.
I'm really sorry for anyone who tried this without luck.

Ok, Thanks for the update. I believe it was a hardware problem in the first place that is not repairable. Still, the 6p is not so bad with 4 cores and if one can get one very cheap and don't mind messing with a
battery change and being fastidious with keeping to bootloader unlocked, it's still pretty decent. Kurt
I replaced my battery last week, phone kept freezing then boot looped like crazy. I figured the ROM was corrupted so I wiped and clean flashed. It worked for a day or two, then started to do it again. I replaced the battery and flashed new Pie Room, booted fine, but after a few hours It got very hot and killed the battery down from full to 25%. I'm thinking the real problem is my 4 Large Cores as I see that they say offline sometimes. I haven't applied the fix yet, not sure if it will play well with Pie. Anyone successful is 4 Core Pie?
nexus 6p
if i change my nexus 6p motherboard than will it work fine.i think its motherboard is faulty so it is on bootloop
can anybody suggest.i can get a used motherboard .should i go ahead

Looking for some response on this. @Aircraft800, did the BLOD patch work on pie? Which rom did you use and did you flash pie after using the BLOD patch prior to the pie ROM?

When your phone heats up 4 cores are automatically disabled
After the 4 cores came back to working, how long did you battery last? and at percent did it shut down?
Is this true?

Hello! I just bought recently this beautifull phone, I adore everything about it, except - the battery. When I 1st turned it on, it found an update 3,2GB and I applied it, 12.5.5.0 Global. I wonder if I did a mistake, maybe MIUI 12 was better.
Batt drain is huge when idle, 10 or more % overnight.
Gsam app (with adb permissions) says screen and system() are the highest per consumption.
Should I install eu rom (which)?
Or maybe the 1st rom for this device V12.0.2.0.RKIMIXM ?
Give it some time to adjust when fresh. Disable auto brightness and read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/uninstall-bloatwares-no-root.4321387/

10? My is using over 30%, sometimes climbs to 40... it's just insane
Was on 12.5.5 too and didnt think too much of it until I saw this post.
Was getting barely 3.5 hrs ending at around 12%. Running phone at 90hz
Sometimes I would just charge it mid-day to get some juice.
Had a tough time trying to downgrade to 12.0.2 but finally did and battery I think is alot better.

So, yeah... its 12.5.5 that's screwing our batteries up?
Oh I forgot to mention also that I did use xaomiADBFastboot tools to remove the unwanted bloatware like the services and apps. I did this on both firmwares.
While using stock i noticed a few things . Each update was using more battery. Remember two things.. we have a good processer with a medium to small battery in keeping with it's design so we shouldn't expect the same battery life as the other "thick" xiaomi models. Having said that . I flashed a custom rom and without gapps the phone can last 2 days using camera watching videos and with Bluetooth on listening to music .So if you want decent battery. Start by not updating..using miui is like using google x2 ...so xiaomeme and google are sucking juice with processes under "system" and it is also what's causing heating . Apart from not updating, you must debloat and also root to disable certain gapps and xiaomi processes you can't without root. Next you absolutely must go through all the apps permissions and disable auto start and background battery and data for stuff that are not essential when you're not using your phone. THIS SAVES A HUGE AMOUNT ..just killing backgrounding of google application will save you a few percent. So that's all, no secret sauce . Just kill all the unnecessary background data and battery and auto start or disable google gapps and xiaomi stuff you don't use . Obviously you can see from my post that to get great battery you need to run pure aosp or lineage gsi using gapps replacement like nanodroid and fake store . If you don't want to go that far ,use lineage with minimal gapps and tweak the apps permissions and backgrounding . You will solve heating and battery issues. The problem are the gapps and xiaomi applications getting updated with each incremental update. I have tested on benchmark applications that each update is a little lower in points ..not much but a little worse. So be careful of updating. Sometimes xiaomeme is not refining stuff before making changes to new releases. and you need to imagine just the miui theming on top of aosp is already gonna use battery and processor. So that's my experience with the battery.. Obviously our screen at max brightness will kill our small battery quick, so try to be conservative and use autobrightness . You must also select in cellphone network to use 5G battery saving option. So when you don't use the phone it drops to 4G or 3G to save battery cos with each incremental G the network or gsm and sim suck more battery juice .Try to remember how hard people got hit when we went from 3G to 4G. We had to increase battery sizes quick....
use this application with root to get "better battery stats" ...the name says it all
