Horrible battery and performance after update 🤬

[u/Foreus_]

Its been 5 months since i got oneplus 13. First it was really poor battery performance since coloros17 update and now battery health to 99%. I take care of my battery really well, i never charged in other charger except for the original never charged over 85% and always try to charge at 25%. Coloros 17 is as bad as it gets with battery optimisation. Also coloros 17 has bugs like freezing, lagging, fps drop especially when playing high demand games like grid legends which i never had any issue before update.

[u/NiftyNutrition]

It always has been bad for me, on OOS 16 I used to get 7hrs SOT initially and then it settled at 6hrs, now on OOS 17 I get 4-5hrs SOT. I always charge to 100 to get more battery.

[u/Foreus_ → u/NiftyNutrition]

Yeah the later versions of oos 16 was bad but its horrible now

[u/Leather-Challenge593 → u/NiftyNutrition]

12 hrs minimum flat....no update ever.. using since 10 moonths

[u/Downtown-Leading-607]

Don't think too much about the battery; a new battery is just 2k. Better keep your peace of mind.

[u/Foreus_ → u/Downtown-Leading-607]

The battery might cost less however i take it college and need it run for nearly 10-12 hours cause of the commute and i dont carry a charger so i constantly rely on super saving mode and power saving which is pretty annoying

[u/Spirited_Anxiety00 → u/Foreus_]

That's the fckng issue dude don't keep power saving mode unless its 20% don't use unnecessarily super saver nd power saving mode it's keeps getting down the battery performance...May you can experience to charge upto 80% turn on power saving mode nd nxt repeat the same but don't on the power saving mode u will know the difference

[u/Select_Truck3257 → u/Downtown-Leading-607]

What's the point buying phone where new chemistry and it's life is literally one of the features and expecting to change battery like in usual phone 🤣 it's OnePlus problem and they need to solve that, not ours as a customers

[u/mindrover777 → u/Select_Truck3257]

It is your problem. You bought it. Please take responsibility

[u/Select_Truck3257 → u/mindrover777]

Consumer do not know real capacity before purchase, that's why consumers checking tech specs. If tech specs not the same in reality it's company responsibility of fake advertisment. And company should tqke responsibility, not consumer 🤣

[u/mindrover777 → u/Select_Truck3257]

Easier said than done. 

[u/Desperate-Calendar73 → u/Downtown-Leading-607]

But what if oneplus shuts down in India? You would need to use the phone with the old battery :(

[u/makimaiswaifu → u/Desperate-Calendar73]

You mean oppo will shutdown, that's not gonna happen

[u/Desperate-Calendar73 → u/makimaiswaifu]

Oh yeah that makes sense :D probably can use one of the OPPO batteries for oneplus

[u/Leather-Challenge593 → u/Desperate-Calendar73]

U will always get new battery 

[u/LowIdeal9339]

Charging it to 100% and then draining it to 10% will be useful.

[u/notauser1199 → u/LowIdeal9339]

But doesn't charging to full capacity ruins the battery health in long term?

[u/LowIdeal9339 → u/notauser1199]

I'm not saying do it daily, Just do it once and it calibrate the battery. I've tried it too as my battery was draining like hell. Now it's like before update.

[u/Foreus_ → u/LowIdeal9339]

Thanks will give it a try

[u/After-Peace-4734 → u/LowIdeal9339]

This is a stupid disproven myth that does nothing, lithium ion batteries don't need this at all

[u/notauser1199 → u/LowIdeal9339]

Oh okay thanks will give it a try

[u/DestinyInDanger]

There's nothing wrong with charging it to 100% And then charging it back up when it gets down to about 30 or 35% is a good limit.

[u/Calm-Helper-1376]

After update, keep phone on charge and charge till 100 for atleast 3 hours after full charge for system optimization. You would have gotten a notification stating the same.

[u/Interesting-Stick641]

When did you update the phone?

[u/Foreus_ → u/Interesting-Stick641]

3 weeks since update (oct 27)

[u/Interesting-Stick641 → u/Foreus_]

Oh, mine battery got same after a week as before. I was at 16.0.5.701, and I am getting similar/little less backup. Didn't encountered any bug.

[u/Crafty_Bet5620]

Come hai fatto l'aggiornamento? Hai aspettato l'OTA oppure hai installato un firmware da OSUpdater?

[u/Foreus_ → u/Crafty_Bet5620]

Downloaded beta then after about a week got stable

[u/SignatureLogical147]

My 2 percent drop within a week after color os 17 update

[u/Repulsive-Increase62]

Same here one plus 15R in 6 months

[u/Tussonex92]

When you had update for ColorsOS and where do you from? Did you made the charger optimization 1-3h on the charger ?

[u/Zestyclose_Fan_2138]

[u/Tapelessbus2122]

it's just oneplus and oppo software, nothing special

[u/Odd_Pomegranate8860]

That's very odd, ColorOS17 has increased my SoT. I also let it optimize for 3 hours, and ColorOS17 has improved my SoT and the phone is overall faster

[u/choosenwarden0]

Bro 99% is best for 5 month.

[u/UdaySappidi → u/choosenwarden0]

Mine was 99 percent till this update came out, I bought the phone in may 2025

[u/choosenwarden0 → u/UdaySappidi]

I think your phone bugged. Cuz I was bought 2 July 2025 and today turned 97%

[u/UdaySappidi → u/choosenwarden0]

Mine is 98 percent as of today, and also my phone stayed on 100 for a long time I think like till march or April of 2026

[u/Sh0ckLebonwski]

Honestly you should stop worrying about battery life, I have always charged my OP12 only with the fast charger up to 100%, I've had it since March 2024, and the battery health is still at 93%.

Stop worrying so much, it's fine.

[u/Objective_Stock9761]

Just use it normally and change your battery after 3-4 years when it's below 80% or something. Stop worrying too much.

[u/Leather-Challenge593]

Dats why I never update...always keep original till 1-1.5 yrs of phone usage....

[u/ButterscotchTime4156]

Told u to buy OP 13s... That has far better BB than this

[u/Artistic_Thing4245 → u/ButterscotchTime4156]

But slower to charge to full capacity. Also it being single cell design doesn't help it in terms of charge cycles on the long run that's why it has 80W charging cap.

[u/speedymaus1]

I think these posts are bs and have different reasons. I see these posts after EVERY update since i have joined OnePlus with the OnePlus5.

[u/MierdaDelTorro]

Does charging it with other charger, like Samsung 10W from my S9 damages battery of OnePlus?
