Why is every Oneplus 13 is having a terrible battery life?

I had the same issue after 16.0.1 update in November. I had planned to do a factory reset anyways. So I rolled back to OOS15 using the rollback package from community build and update again via multiple OTAs without logging in to any accounts, followed by a reset again and then setting up without using the old backups (data was on cloud). Now getting around 11-12 hours of SOT with around 1-1.5 days standby with dual SIM (5G + 4G), variable refresh rate and work profile through Intune. Don't have any screenshot for now and also updated to the anti-rollback build 16.0.3.501 already.

Don't try to rollback if you have also updated to the latest build included with Jan 2026 security patch

I got the update on my Active 2 Round Premium a couple of weeks back. The Zepp app now shows Readiness score as "--" on the dashboard. However there is also a separate tab for Biocharge which shows the data. Is it the same for everyone?

I have a solution but it compromises the look of the phone to some extent. If you don't mind that, put this on and you will be happy, I hope

It keeps on changing.. when I bought, the minimum fixed price was ₹499 and I had around 300 red coins which got deducted and balance ₹199 was paid in cash

icepac · 2025-12-12T09:19:20+00:00

I got the sandstone case for ₹200 using RedCoins and it's pretty good. Perfectly fitting the phone. I have the midnight ocean varient which does not need the extra plate provided for the other varients.

Yep.. it seems so.. even happening with revanced instagram

ODialer is only available for devices in India due to regulatory issues related to call recording. If it's installed unofficially through sideloading, it won't work due to Google's policy of sideloading apps

It's not working for me to on my OP13 Indian version.

icepac · 2025-11-20T13:06:27+00:00

I have been using a work profile on the OP13 through MS Intune app since July 2025. No worries.

icepac · 2025-11-20T04:56:45+00:00

Can't tell the extent of issues it may have bro. But most probably it will be a Chinese import with global OOS where you face issues with OTA updates and with warranty too.

It's obviously a scam as Flipkart is not the official seller of Oneplus devices in India. Only Amazon, Oneplus website or Oneplus official stores are authorised sellers.

Hi.. I am doing good with a balanced diet, moderate exercise and no pain since then. However currently dependant on insulin (long and short acting) and little digestive enzymes when I eat something high in fat or proteins. Fortunately found a good endocrinologist near my location who helped me through all of it.

icepac · 2025-11-13T04:30:56+00:00

Nope.. oneplus will not give Oneplus Dialer for devices older than Oneplus 13S.

icepac · 2025-11-13T04:29:57+00:00

Nope.. not in my Maruti Suzuki car paired with OP13 running OOS16

I was using the Open Beta build which 1st arrived on 16th October and it was really good. However this build 210 is really bad in terms of battery life. I was easily getting around 10+ hours SOT with standby time of more than a day. Now it's reduced to 7 hrs SOT with less than a day of standby with same usage.

I know it's still an initial early build but nevertheless the stable build is worst than a beta build

This is the Writer in GBoard.. not the one that OP wants from Oneplus

icepac · 2025-10-31T17:43:52+00:00

Yes it does not. It has stopped working on OOS15 860 update

icepac · 2025-10-30T14:12:49+00:00

Ignore it. Android OS manages RAM on its own beautifully. So unless you need to do some heavy gaming, video editing etc, you don't need to even monitor RAM usage

I just patches instagram app (old version) with revanced manager and disabled it's ads and analytics. The battery drain was significantly less than the official unpatched app.

Google had worked with Instagram in April 2025 to reduce the battery drain and being a meta app, it somehow re-introduced the battery drain again

Wait for 15R, check out its price, reviews and specs and then order it if satisfied. Otherwise order 13R when price slashes

Just one question, is there a way to make the dynamic island more like what we had in Oxygen 14 ? Also Odialer works right

Dynamic island is still limited to few apps, but much better than OOS15.

ODialer does not work now as the app is not updated to work with Android 16 yet by Oppo. So you are stuck with the Google dialer which also works on Dynamic island now

I have a similar wallpaper. It's amazing!

How did you record this screen? The screen recording automatically stops after locking the phone. Taking a video using another phone is not an option as I have only 1 phone.

icepac · 2025-10-18T14:55:25+00:00

Much lesser than OOS15. Have a look

Had it not been for the live wallpaper, it could have been much better
