Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Mi 8 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Can any of the device owners share their experience so far with it?

I'm on xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 open beta so battery life can be better when it's stable. Buts it's pretty decent right now I'm happy with it.
15 percent per hour if display is on. If display off than 0.5 percent.
On my usage I get two days.

Battery life is a good surprise, I'm using xiaomi eu

My MI 8 can reach upto 7h30 on-screen time, how about you #5 and #n?

The battery is what I was looking for in a smartphone. Constantly using it (web browsing, facebooking, gaming, youtubing, etc.) for a day, it could last around 8hrs or more, playing games heavily it could drop to 6hrs. I have been using the phone for around 2hrs per day, and it could last up to 3 days. Ah, I have Always-On enabled. My rom is still China, waiting for bypass time to unlock it.

How do you get that SOT? I'm on xiaomi.eu 8.8.30 and max I get is 5 hours

So you are on miui 10 beta, i am still on miui 9.6.7, i hope it is not the issue. I put most of my apps to "not running in background", some are set with no restriction. But the system still kills all apps once in a while, i am new to xiaomi phone so I still dont know if this can be disabled or not. I have not installed all of my daily drive apps because I want to unlock the bootloader and flash global rom first, i also hope this is not the issue
My normal standby drain is about 12hrs for 10%. Oh, I do go battery settings to solve any detected issues when I am on break. I also hide the notch.

Battery life is solid, running china dev and i get 2 days with total ot 5+ hours SOT. For a non stop use indoor i can go 8+ hours

xiaomi.eu ROM (up to 8.8.30) drains battery fast, 15-20% per hour with screen on, = maximum of 4.5-5h SOT. With global stable or global beta ROM getting around 8-8.5h SOT, 10-15% during usage.

Yesterday i bought the phone, fully charged and at 25% i got 7h+ screen on time.. which is completely amazing!! Global stable 9.6 here..

You can easily get over 7 hours of SOT, and more than 30 hours on one charge.

miui 10 stable global

Hi people I wanna alert everybody: DO NOT UPGRADE TO MIUI 10. It drains so much battery than miui 9.6 stable. I've wiped full data, it drains less than before ,but more than 9.6. global stable. I post screeshots

China developer 8.8.31 . Sync off.

I'm using the Google Pixel Rom.
Having 44Hours since last charge of which 4:40 are SOT with 19% battery left.

With xiaomi.eu oreo i've at least 5h SOT and i can arrive at night with no problem

Wifi - 8h
LTE - 4-6h depends on usage

I've got easy 8 hours on WiFi (YouTube, Facebook and so on)

sot on Redmi note 7

Hi I have question how could be note 7 on sot with Miui 11.0.4.0 version global and 64 gb with 4 ram thanks .

SOT obviously depends on how you use your phone. For me, I was able to get 8h pretty much consistently & sometimes get to 10h

Hello,
I have recently bought the redmi note 7 4/64 on latest build and I get between 7 and 10 sot. I just have it a few days but I am quite impressed. My Samsung A50 is way lower then this (it's broken now) and before this RMN7 I used a month a Redmi note 4 with franco kernal and RR rom on Android 9, because of the broken A50, and the A50 was double the price and newer phone. So this is amazing to have this SOT, did not expect this from Miui. (Had once the mi 5) I have all possible juice eating stuff like netflix, FB, messenger, gps, sync etc expect I don't game. I have now 39 percent and I'm on 5 + SOT.

Hy guys! I have never had such an amazing phone with a such a great battery! My last phone was a Mi Max 3 and was very hard for me to let it go because of the humongous battery of 5500mAh. I am using this Redmi Note 9S for two days and still have juice in it. Remember that it was charged just once and all the installation, backup, and the new start was made during this cycle. 80% i was only in Wifi but in my area the gsm signal is not that great and i choose the 2G network. The drain over night is maximum 1% with 2G and wifi off. Good luck guys!

Great results for me also. I'm getting at least 10 hours SOT per charge and I use a TON of social media like Snapchat/Instagram, etc.

Hi all, this battery is amazing for me I played around 3 hr or more, then FB like 2 hr, IG about 30 min. Sent whatsapp messages and messenger too. Calling about 2 hours with speakerphone. Searched for a case in amazon and other things like 1 hr or more and some browser time too.
By 4 am had like 13 hrs SOT, this time before put it to charge gonna take a screenshot and post it.
Cheers.

Hi, heres my SOT and have 14% left

Dear Senior Member, sorry for calling me stupid but i use Xiaomi phones for several years and i flashed hundreds of custom roms. Is it possible not to know how much my phone uses the battery? Do you really want to change my phone's system language just to clear this situation? Is so hard for you to understand from that picture? Let me explain...i charged the phone to 100% and then i used it normally( calls, sms, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc) and that is my score. I didn't charge the phone at all during this cycle. Conprende?

Monster Battery!!!

Amazing battery

Are you Iphone or Pixel owner?

Hard Reset?
What do you think of this percentage taking into account that I have used it in airplane mode, with minimum brightness and saving mode?
is a Hard reset recommended?

Yesterday I got about 7h43m of SoT (100% - 20%) for the whole day. Most of the time I used Facebook/Messenger, web browsing; about 2 hrs of 3D gaming (LLAS, Mirishita) at maximum graphic settings. I turned 4G on all the time, 60 - 100% of brightness.
This morning (4:30 AM to 11:10 AM) I got about 57m of SoT (100% - 91%).
Is my battery life normal? Should I return the phone and exchange for another one?
I'm on MIUI Global 11.0.8 stable.

I have not unlock my BL yet. Flashing via Miflash doesn't work at all. So what should I do to flash the update package manually? I'm used to using TWRP and AOSP before on my Redmi 5+ so I'm not much familiar with MIUI stuffs.
And today after using wifi for the whole day (social media, gaming, etc.), I got about 11h37m of SoT with 14% left. Is this normal?
My phone is a secondhand one so I do really care about its battery.

Hi I had same problem with miui 11 and 12 (right after update) and could fix it easily!
First you should go to setting>apps>manage apps then search Xiaomi Service
We have two xiaomi service, force stop them and clear their cashe (if it possible)
After that do the same thing to Android System.
Then go to setting>privacy protection>special permissions>battery optimization wait for it and then put all unnecessary apps specially Xiaomi Service Frameworks, weather, themes, system services, battery and almost everything to Optimize mode.
After all turn Miui Optimization (on developer options) and System Printing Service off.
Do them together for every rom and after every update, it'll work.
For me it brings my Android System Usage from 28% (after update to miui12) to almost 17% per day (7 hours SOT and 16 hours Standby). Have nice day.

Miui EU 12.0.3.0 - SOT

Hi,
I have a Mi 9T with the official EU rom 12.0.3.0.
I am not a hard user, only using emails, whatsapp, internet ... (no games or movies) but I only have 5-6 hours SOT.
I have as well restricted many apps in the background.
The battery is not draining when I am not using my phone, or a very little drain 2% but as soon as i use my phone, the battery goes down very quick.
Main consumer is Android system with 30%.
I did a factory reset on the 12.0.2.0 version, still bad SOT and last week I had the 12.0.3.0 update, SOT unchanged (5-6 hours).
I have seen many subjects on the forum but i feel like not everybody found a solution for having a nice SOT (8-10 hours). I usually keep my phone 2 days without charging it, with same apps. But today i mostly need to charge it everyday.
Are you guys in the same boat?
If not what is your SOT, and what ROM or setting do you use?
I would prefer to stay on a official ROM if possible.
I becoming desperate with this poor SOT, thinking to go back on miu10... which is a shame because i bought this phone to enjoy last os.
Cheers,

You can try the global version,( 12.0.5) or a custom rom like xiaomi.eu that uses a debloat version of chinese rom, stable and weekly.

What is your SOT with the global rom?

I don't use global, my rom is last Xiaomi.eu stable ( 12.0.4). And i don't know the SOT. But it's fine for me.

SOT means Screen On Time, you can see it in "Battery & performance -> Battery usage stats.
Right now, my SOT is 2h40min and I have 46% battery left. So I would probably get around 5hours SOT once my battery is gone.
I think it is very little but I would like to know if people have similar SOT to mine?

First of all screw miui ,if y are a practical orientated person who only cares about

Please flash a rom which is caf based ASOP doesn't make sense to Snapdragon driven phone
*I myself use pa quartz 4 edition ( sadly no quartz 5 )
*I got upto 14 hours of sot once that was just with browsing @25-30% brightness with mobile data on
*I've restricted all unwanted **** including google assistant , I'm running gappa pico edition , I use Google Chrome for satisfying my needs of Gmaps , Gmail etc. ( Ofcourse I've disabled "Google" app too, along with vibration and all kinds of hepatic feedback including touch sounds on dialer )
And I get An average of 10 hours SOT watch the screen shot.
I'm talking every 10%=1hour or 1hour+.
TRADEOFF : FOD - in this rom fod never works fine and is broken. if you need fod or if you prefer it over the double tap to wake + pattern mode which I myself use now you should rather get yourself PIXEL EXPERIENCE or lineage os 17.1 . (FOD WORKS Steamlessy on PE rom , 2ndly on lineage os but battery life never gets better than this it's always under 10 hours but all these 3 are way ahead of all miui roms which no MI bloatware and fake optimization only part about miui is that FOD and our device has a lot of hidden bugs which you don't find in our day to day usage which I got exposed to myself after messing up my persist image a while back ).

The last versioni of miui 12 and 11 have bad sot. On 12.0.2 i had also a battery drain with screen of now on the 12.0.3 in 7 hours i have 3% of battery discarghe with screen off but with screen on the drain Is vert higt 20% of hour.

Thank you, we have the same problem.
So what have you done? Are you using another ROM now?

I'm on MIUI Global 12.0.3.0 and I constantly get max of 4.5 hours SOT.
1 hour calls
3 hours social media and messaging
Brightness around 90% fixed
mixed LTE & WIFI usage

Hi, yes I see yours is even worse than mine.
Have you tried a factory reset with the new 12.0.3.0?
I guess you should try to use automatic brightness because 90% is a lot and may consume lots of energy.
The last 2 days, I have tried the saver mode and the battery actually last much longer.
I am around 8.5-9 hours SOT now. I have activated the auto synchronisation to get updates in live.
I will continue on this set up this week, but I am pretty happy with this SOT, it gave me almost 2 days without charging now.
