OnePlus 3: Battery empty faster after update

This is what the author says:
I couldn't find an extremely short battery life. My device didn't lose much battery overnight either. With the display switched on, however, my OnePlus 3 went empty faster than before the update.
Two weeks ago, OnePlus got one Update to version 3.2.1 released. This update fixed some bugs and brought the user an sRGB mode and improved RAM management. But how PhoneArea now reported, the battery of the flagship killer should now run out faster than before.
After the update, I also noticed that the battery on my OnePlus 3 was draining faster than before. But that wasn't really a problem, because with DashCharge the smartphone can be charged to 30 percent in around 60 minutes. Or you can use a power bank. As various blogs are now reporting, the battery is said to drain by 4 percent every 1 minutes. That would mean that even if you don't use the device, it will be empty after around 24 hours. We can't confirm that, because my device only lost about 5-10 percent of its battery charge overnight.
What can you do about it?
There is currently little that can be done about this problem. Of course, you could always carry an external battery with you so that the battery does not run out on the go. But with DashCharge, the device is fully charged to 100 percent in just under an hour. So we can only hope for a software update soon. But I haveproactually don't mind Thread in the OnePlus forum found where users write that the battery drains extremely quickly.
Since an AMOLED display directly switches off the pixels in certain areas when it is black, the smartphone does not need a lot of battery by activating the dark mode. The dark mode shows many areas in black instead of white and does not drain the battery as quickly. You can activate it in the Settings > Adaptation and there on "Dark mode" . click
Did you notice a shorter battery life on your OnePlus 3? Let's discuss things together and write me your experiences in the comments.
I also have a huge battery problem since the update
Hey fupp!
Is that what you mean in connection with the update to nougat?
I recently switched to the build community. Actually only because of the 60FPS mode, but I was also hoping that the battery life would improve. I'm always in flight mofus and probably use 2 hours a day wifi (new zealand in the mcd) and I'm just getting through that day! In flight mode! But that's only been a few weeks. Before that it lasted at least two days. When it was completely nru there were 2 days with 50% no problem, now I have to charge because I can't even manage 12 hours... Unfortunately, dashcharge only works on sockets, not from the power bank.
Hello Marco,
do you use the CB with nougat? That's when I heard that the battery life had deteriorated quite a bit. Unfortunately, a beta is not a finished version - things like that can always happen.
If you say that you won't get more than a day in airplane mode, I would switch back to the official version.

I don't care about the 6gb. if I have to charge a flagship cell phone at 16:00 p.m. then it's almost a cheek for me
Have you installed the new OxygenOS 3.2.2? I'm already on it and supposedly there should be improvements.
Or do you use CyanogenMod?
Hello David,
is really a cheek to call your smartphone “flagship killer” and then you have to charge it really often. For me it was better before Oxygen 3.2.1 and now 3.2.2, now it got really stupid with the battery life
Since yesterday I have 3.2.2 on it and the battery is empty extremely quickly and my hand is getting really warm too….
I want to put it back again.
I've had the same problem since 3.2.2. My OnePlus 3 also heats up very quickly and the battery drains quickly.
I think resetting won't do you much good, we'll have to wait for another update ...
Unfortunately, it is emptying extremely quickly for me at the moment! Load my OP 3 about 2-3 times now pro Hi. I hope an update with a solution to this problem comes very soon!
It is often the same with me. Hope for an update too. But then you have to do without the full 6GB RAM again ...: /
