Battery life on MIUI - Post your experience

I am getting about 3 - 4 days of average usage out of a 100 % charge, running MIUI 1.8.19. I will continue to update this thread with confirmed findings of MIUI users posted here. Other than that, happy flashing!
People experiencing battery drain issues please post the following:
Your running kernel ([email protected] if you didn't flash anything on top)
CPU spy screenshot of a drain (from 100 % to like 20%, you can get CPU spy from market)
Screenshot of stats from the battery monitor in settings
Did you perform a battery recalibration after flash? (Charging the phone to 100 % in off mode, then boot)
My recommendations on increasing battery life:
Keep data on off whenever you don't use it. WiFi does not seem to have battery drain issues, use that instead if you are at home.
Disable albumart and lyrics download in music player, when you dont use it.
The media server can go crazy on battery drain - Even if you don't listen that much to music.
Use another launcher than the standard one. Sometimes in rare occations (happened for me twice though) the launcher keeps the phone out of deep sleep. I have had good results with Go Launcher.

Easy Alternative,
Download Battery Calibration from the market (Free) and install
Do a continuous charge the phone from AC charger recommended instead PC USB to 100% while its on
Follow instruction of the application and rate it well before uninstalling (the app creator made our life easy for free)
Battery Calibration

You are in the wrong forum, this is the SGSII forum.
But to help you anyway: Using 2G instead of 3G helps alot on the SGS1.

Sns periodic wakelock

Hi guys...anyone can tell what kind of wakelock is this? Im on paranoid android but it nevere happened before. Ive left the phone in standby for about two hours...and the sns wakelock was at 10/20 mins of "life".
When i ve turned on again the phone i saw that the sns wakelock was boosted to 2hr and half Oo
What happened? Thanks

R: Sns periodic wakelock
No one can help me?
Ive only one dashclock widget in the lockscreen (but i have it from about 1week and it did not ever cause any problems)
Today i have installed widgetlocker and used it for a bit...but disabled it really quick. Maybe some kind of caching problems with it? Now ive removed it...well see tomorrow. But if you have any tips i would really appreciate it

I also have this. I checked raw alarms and eBay was highest, so I've FC'ed it and I'm gonna see if it makes a difference.

Solved...For me it was widgetlocker that boosted my sns periodic wakelock :good:

how did you find that?
Also raw alarms is that in BBS under just "alarms?

Turning off locations in the Google settings app seemed to help with the wake lock & also android os seems to b steady now,will continue to see what's causing this issue..

I've tried turning off location but still no help. My phone stays Awake 100%.!
Please help. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I'm running Faux beta 13 r2 with PACMAN 22.01.

I have the same periodic wakelock. I am on PACman and I don't think I had seen this wakelock until I installed custom ROMs. My battery life has never been very good, so there must be an app that is doing this that I've had since I got the phone.
Is there a way to tell which apps are generating the wakelocks?

Weird battery loss to 0%

You may try installing BetterBatterStats and CPU Spy to determine which app(s) drains your battery. Unchecking wifi location in settings/location services will help to lower the battery consumption.

Seems unlikely an app would be able to instantly drain a battery from such a level...Unless of course the battery's levels are not being correctly read... In this case a factory reset might help... If it doesn't, it's probably a hardware defect.
Found this and this with several people complaining about the same problem.. No solution so far, except the suggestion to change the battery...

New Battery Issue Please Help

For the past two days, I have been noticing huge battery drains. i had stock everything, no custom rom. android system was at the top of the list, and it kept saying it was the GPS, although it was off. so i rooted my G2 and downloaded system tuner, and turned off all the carrier IQ things, the 7 checkboxes. this morning, i figured the battery would be back to normal, but android system and android os are killing my battery

[Xposed] Unboucne

Hi,
I just installed Xposed module Unbounce.
Could we use this thread to share our settings ?

It might help if you explained a bit about what Unbounce is for those that don't know, and link to the info
Xposed Repo - http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce
Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce

It seems this provides the same functionality as Wakelock Detector and Wakelock Terminator. @Lennyuk Would you mind confirming this? And is there anything this or the other apps do that the other doesn't?

Not used it before, but as far as I can tell its like a hybrid between Wakelock Terminator and Greenify.

One of the first modules installed after root. Worked great on my aosp S3 and so far so good on the G3.
I set most of the settings to 300.

Now these work for me. I didn't unbounce everything that woke the kernel or cpu under 3 min. I get very few wakelocks anyway and my phone deep sleeps 90% of the day

I used unbounce "default settings" for 2 days and noticed a stutter swiping through my home screens. Using Nova launcher. I un-installed the app and everything was smooth again.

I'm wondering does Unbouncing(taming) do more harm than good?
Example: if a process can't complete a function, will it make more calls in an attempt to complete the process.
