just wait until the update reaches you, until then use battery doctor as well disable cache cleaner. after getting update yesterday. observed that keeping my micromax android one in standby with battery saver, reduced only 3% battery overnight from 10pm to 6am. working right.

Saketh,

Lets see waiting for update.

just root your phone with different kernel and download lollipop 5.1 zip and flash it

Hi,

Faced same problem and did not receive patch yet.

Charged micromax a1 phone from 0% charge state till full charge. Then booted Android and started battery doctor to trickle charge for 10 minutes. Last 1.5 days charge is at 70%. After marshmallow update charge was not lasting 24 hours. Can someone facing problem try charging from 0% charge and not boot android till device is fully charged? Does the battery drain problem with marshmallow still continue?

Yes the same problem is still continues. Apart from that i suggest everyone pl. do not buy mobile from spice. My spice andrio one has today suddenly stope displying. I have tried to do factory feset, kernel boot, partition wipe and reset nothing has helped. I have faced some problem in July also and they took 2.5 months to fix my phone problem. The same has started again, fade up of the same.

I have purchased this phone in Feb-2015 only. So guys please do not go for spice.

I have tried various battery saver apps (including Battery Doctor) since getting 6.0. Of all of them I find that AVG Cleaner works best to help with the battery drain. But it is still extremely high as compared to 5.1. I need to charge my phone 2 or 3 times a day. With 5.1 one charge lasted all day.

I hope we get the patch soon!!!!!

may you ca uptade un app for downlaod the game.

but factory reset deletes important apps. Like what if i wanna retain my level on honeyday blitz 2 or COC, or whatever.

My micromax a1 shows Build number as MRA58M on model number Micromax AQ4501. Can someone tell if the battery drain patch being discussed is already included? Also. can someone with the battery drain patch share the Build number for their Android One phone?

Guys,

After frustrating with my phone today i have changed my phone. Now lets see this new phone will help in battery problem. Again request all pl. don not buy Spice mobile

Hi, I'm using a 'Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini' smartphone and this devil eats battery.
Have read through quite a lot of forum articles about this problem but haven't seen a good solution.
I must say that my wifi and bluetooth are always active and have to remain so.
Does anybody know if Samsung (or any other make) have batteries that last longer for the 'S4 Mini' ?

Saketh,

Have bought lava pixel the 2nd generation android one phone. Also i have one lumia 535 also and it seems that lumia is better experience than andriod.

The battery drain problem is not as much as it was in spice drem uno. May be the hardware of the lava is the reason. it has 2 GB RAM and 32 GB inbuilt memory.

Please check forum.xda-developers.com for the battery drain problem with marshmallow update

Rebooting the phone after charging increases battery life. I took could see this helps. Please check.

I have found a temporary solution. After each charge, turn the phone off while it is still plugged in.Unplug it and turn it on again. The battery drain, at least for me, is now back to what it was with 5.1. Its a pain and a short term fix, but at least its solves the battery drain problem for now.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this works?

Shiv,

Yesterday Google has roll out a update which has fixup with this battery issue. At least mine is now working normal and without not using full internet the battery now works for 1.5 days.

Received the patch MRA58N from micromax today morning of 1.8MB and being called security update. Plan to get back if do not see improvement in battery life especially after recharge and no reboot case.

I got the same patch frm Spice today. Let's see if it works to fix the battery problem. Since it is a security patch I have my doubts.

Just turn on the airplane mode. the battery drain is due to cellular network, google havent found an solution for it so till google finds an solution ,turn your airplane mode when you dont use the network , thats the only chance of survival

I was also Suffering from this problem ......
....
What I had done to repair is, just went to micromac service centre abs asked them to install lollipop 5.0 in it ... And the problem is solved ...

Ubhi,

thats not the solution. You have to update the phone with newly update rollout. This will solve your problem.

I installed the update. The battery drain has reduced but it is still more than it was with Android L. A friend who has a Nexus 5 says that his battery life has improved with Marshmallow. I guess its a prblem with the low quaitly hardware used in Android One phones.

It'll be an estupid question. But did any one make a factory reset after update?

Thanks.

You can try Greenify app from Play Store. It's the most effective battery saving app I've ever used. It puts the apps to sleep which it calls Hibernation.

Phone is always awake....tat is the only problem.....this android 6 is worst update

uninstalling battery doctor improved battery with android 6 and latest patch.

Today i got 75MB 6.0.1 update for my Micromax Android one Phone.

The MMB29K upadate solved the problem. The battery life is now even better than it was with Android L.

Simple solution is downgrade your device as it is not supporting the update.

First discharge battery 100%and recharge it whole night (switch off condition). Automatically battery performance increases.

Completely agree. After MMB29K , I see longer battery life even with Android charging. I no longer see need to power off and recharge for better battery life.

If your phone battery is draining fast, may be some apps take much electricity or something broken. But don't worry, there is a new function on mobile phone. If you have iOS devices, such as iPhone, I can tell you some skills about battery drain. There is an article about How to See Which Apps Are Draining Your Battery on iPad. When you have some trouble, you can read it.

Same thing with me I updated my lenovo k3 to marshmallow and when I use it on full charge it and I use it it becomes 60-65 in 20 min

I have a spice dream uno- cm13, superSU, greenify (donation).The battery problem doesnot gets solved.The only benefit of android marshmallow that I see is the 'memory adopt' feature. I will always prefer CM11(kitkat) snapshot over CM13(marshmallow). Battery backup was 1-2 days with moderate use when I had the 4.4.4.

Me too having the same issue.. As soon as i upgraded my lenovo A7000 smart phone to marshmallow, i can see high diference with Battery Draining fast than the normal when we used to have android 4 or android 5. Google should fix this issue else it is meaning less to upgrade to a higher version.

Also, i had observed that battery charging is quite fast post upgrading to 6.0 and at the stage of 99%, it will take long time to complete in full 100% and not sure what is happening inside.

Best Regards
Kesav

I have an oukitel k10000

no need to update lollipop is better.

Battery drain was horrible after marshmallow (6.0.1) on my galaxy s5. Much improved immediately after resetting the network settings. (Backup & reset / network settings reset).

Just downgrade it then. You can find the guide how to downgrade in internet or forums.
Many people already complained about the battery drainage and it really drives them crazy!
(thankfully my Mega 2 still in KitKat :p)

Correction, this worked for a charge cycle or so, now I'm back to crappy battery life. And what is the main user... android system! Followed by device idle. Ugh

If possible you can also try this, It is quite simple to solve, just let your battery be discharge fully, then recharge it fully while your device is Off and then use it. If it doesn’t solve the problem, repeat the process till you are satisfied.

Under battery optimization, the "samsung accessory service" keeps turning off (loosing battery optimization for this app). I repeatedly go into the settings to re-enable it's battery optimization and not sure why it keeps switching back. Though this helps, there's something else that's still draining the battery at about 2x the rate it did with lollypop.
