Battery life after november update - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

is there anyone who face draining battery after the november update?. even on standby the battery drain quite fast.

Yes, I am also having the issue. Not on just stand by even in regular use. I have reported this.

Already a thread about this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/poor-battery-life-november-update-t3708606

Great battery life
Hey guys,
i have oreo 8 installed with january updates and root. System is optimized with l-speed.
I have great battery life. With SOT about 5 hours i reach 2 days without problems. :good:
My usage: 8 mail addresses, weather service, gps always on, lte mobile data service always on, wifi always on.
Under "heavy usage" i can reach sot of about 10.5 hours with about 24 h of total usage (standby). :fingers-crossed:
This is really very good. You can see the pictures.

Battery overnight

7% of battery overnight.
Wifi, 3G, google now and side clock on.
Is this normal?
Standby Cell=2% (5h on time)
Android OS =1% (13m cpu)
Standby Device = 1% (4m cpu, 28m active)
I too loose between 5-7% overnight (8 Hours). Although the battery life of Edge+ is pretty good while in use, I have noticed that standby of the device isn't as impressive as earlier Note variants (Yes, I'm comparing with Note series).
WiFi - ON
Auto Sync - ON
2-3 Apps with Notification ON
Samsung Pay on Screen Off - ON

Your CPU seems to be idle 95% of the time! I never checked mine but yes, mine drops that much too! I don't think that's a rare case with this phone!
Ok so it is good right?
Then why it drains so much overnight?
Depinding on my signal strenght ,i saw -10% overnight ,ok maybe i slept like 10 hrs insted of 7-8 but still . Battery info said that the juice went to Cell signal standby or something like that.

yep, same here... so maybe it depends on the strength and quality of cell signal..
will test in the next days...
I am sure it cannot be any samsung app/service as I have disable 200 of them with package disabler pro
also, location/3g/wifi/sync/googlenow always on is the same setup I had on OnePlus One, that was using barely .5% per hour
it also true that on the OnePlusOne I could also turn off the notification light during night, while with this I cannot so it could happen that the light keeps on flashing for 5 hours, draining battery
also, I have edge clock on at night, still some drining...
I thought the deep sleep or idle drain was caused by lollipop, no? I lose over 10% from a 7hr sleep, even if I turn the WiFi off. WiFi eats up a lot of my battery for some reason, and I know my connection was good too.

It's been 5 nights and I confirm it drains 1% per hour.
This is my usage really bad...
8% in 6h
Night clock on
Wi-Fi on
4G on
Sync on
I received 5 emails so notification light has been blinking for almost 5h
Don't understand, cos stats are not that bad...
Think yourself lucky. I'm losing 50% overnight.
Battery life impressive during the day though

I solved my problem: night watch...
With night watch on I lose 1% per hour at night, with night watch off I lose 2% in 6h
I was consistently losing 2%-3% per hour overnight. But once I found an overactive app (Plume) and changed from instant notifications to 30 minute polling, my battery life has drastically improved. I've also used Package Disabler to disable bloatware on my device.
The past couple days my battery has been around 97% - 98% when I wake up in the morning.

Battery consumption.

Hi everyone,
I bought my S8 plus on October 26th 2017. After 4 days using, my devide battery drain quickly. I turn off Location, turn on Sync and using not quite often from 7:00 am to 12:am and the battery lost 36%. Does my phone have a battery problem ? I am using 2 sim also.
Thank you so much.
It's not a faulty battery... I have my s8 a month or so, and I'm not impressed with the battery life. Idle state takes too much power, also cell standby. For your dual sim variant, i suppose that cell standby will take even more juice. It's just that, the s8 has really average battery life, at least on official roms, too much wakelocks.
Why not track which apps use data in the background and turn them off.
Mine is stock, but have disabled some Samsung junk, having data on eats battery (phone continually pinging for LTE/3G) so if in wifi area turn data off, use battery saving location setting. I get 60 odd hours between charges, with around 6 hours SoT. I'm quite impressed but one needs to 'tweak' the phone to get best battery life, some good suggestions here. https://www.xda-developers.com/the-...r-community-radically-improved-my-experience/

Poor battery life :(

Facing poor battery life since last 3-4 days. I had factory resetted the phone but nothing helped
Earlier I used to get around 6-7 hours of SOT on with wifi on and moderate usage. Now I hardly get around 4.5-5 hours with same usage.
Anyone facing such issue?
Any news that the feb update will solve the battery drain issue?
Same here. I am barely getting 3hrs SOT. 7000000.ssusb is keeping phone awake and it doesn't go in deep sleep mode.
Facing same issue, guessing this device was a wrong choice for me! ?
Mine arrived today. Downloading the 1000mb update. Must be Oreo?
Have you performed procedures to conserve battery life?
How to ... Disable Check Wizard (wi-fi and bluetooth), Disable sending of analyzes to Mi, restrict data usage of apps in the background and remove vibration from the keyboard.
What version of android?
Try to install BBS (better battery stats) to determine what is the cause of your battery drain.
In my case i had activated erroneously wifi scanning under geolocalization option and it's a big battery hog.
Where is that in menu exactly?
assuming you are on android 8 it can be found under geolocalization --> search, while in android 7 it is under geolocalization-->upper right corner three dots-->search
Ps
BBS can be used without root privileges, just read here

Same issue
it went down from 8 hours sot to just barely 5 after oreo downgrade.
I have no issues whatsoever with battery life on this phone. As a matter of fact, I often get over one day's usage out of it.
Run the battery analysis programs instead of whingeing on here.
I have posted screenshot of my problem below. I have flashed ROM multiple times and still the battery drain won't stop. It went away for some days and I was getting 5hrs sot but now again the problem has started. No idea why.

Those pics say you're getting 12 hours of battery since last charge and are at 23%.
Talking about SOT which is way less as i barely used phone. It's basically like battery being drained for no reason at night. Look at system using all the battery.Is that normal?

Install Accu battery from play store then check your notification, normal average consumption between -150 and -400, if more then check the app to see which app drain your battery

I'm using this MiA1 since Sep 2017, and it's flawless with Android 8.1.0 Nov 2018.
You have a BAD OS (Pie), not really suitable for this phone. I'm getting more than 80% of the time (of Screen Off state) as Deep Sleep Mode. Depending on the usage, 80% charged battery is giving me 30-40 hrs with 10% SoT.
Our immature/childish attitude to anything FREE and the LATEST, and greedily grabbing it, makes us miserable.
We forget the old Adage: "A Bird in Hand is worth Two in the Bush"

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 Asus Zenfone 5V before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It goes OK for now. I guess I will use it for 2 more hours. AI boost off, gps off, wifi and cellular data on, Bluetooth off, auto brightness.
Wifi always on.
forgot to write: I listened music so much from spotify but not stream, I've downloaded them before.

Is the battery life still good? And on that note, how good is the standby drain (asking here because no one seems to have posted on that topic).
I'm worried about battery life because I'm seriously thinking about getting this over the OP6, but there aren't many reviews out there.

After 12 June update, sot has decreased. Now I get about 6~7 hrs BUT my brother (he uses this phone too) still gets 8 hrs. I'm on 20 June update but there's 22 June update (I didn't understand why ASUS gave this update very early. Also it is 410MB but the others were about 200~300 MB so I'm hopeful about this update) So I can't talk about the latest update (I didn't update)
About standby drain: When I was on 1 June update, only 4% gone whole night (11pm~7am) but I can't say anything about the other updates.
I will test sot and standby drain when I update.
Oh btw I want to write today's sot:
Last full (and last) charge: 16hrs 45 mins ago
Sot: 6 hrs 46 mins
5% left
Edit: I didn't see that my battery is 4% on screenshot. I'm sorry
Edit 2: I updated and not changed much. I got 7h25min max (used till 2%). I still couldn't test standby drain but if you want to know something, I can share my latest battery stats. 5h4min sot 15h23min total (so about 10 hrs idle) and 29% left. I guess I will get 2 more hours sot. According to me standby drain is good enough.

Looks decent. Could've been better, but I guess it's because of that IPS screen. Wish the battery could've been a bit bigger than the standard Zenfone 5.
I'm getting around 5:30 hours (on a Zenfone 5, not 5z), how do you manage to get 7:25?
UPDATE:
6:25 of mostly youtube and chrome browsing, bluetooth is always on paired to my smartwatch, as well as wifi and 4G.
(Zenfone 5 SD636). Overall im happy with that, think i can squeeze even more, i have APKpure taking 5% for some unknown reason.

How about your cellular signal, brightness, gps, Bluetooth and firmware?
About cellular signal: Do you get less than 5? Less signal causes phone to use SO MUCH battery and heat.

Actually the other day i was doing 6:25 SOT, which I'm quite happy with. 4G and WIFI are on all the time, and my phone is constantly connected by BT to my Amazfit Bip watch.
location is also always on, and I'm on the latest firmware (.19).
I am deeply impressed by the battery life of this phone. In first recharge I got close to 7h 43 min SOT, later in second recharge it went up to 8'36". Both cycles took considerable usage of roaming, bluetooth on for at least 4-5 hours, some streaming over bluetooth, wifi was used partially maybe not more than a couple of hours, google maps was used and finally the second recharge includes live streaming WC Final Match too. Both SIMs were occupied with primary on VoLTE and always data on.
Brightness was kept on comfortable 30-40% level except for while watching match, when it was close to 55%.

That's very good. I am getting about 7 hrs SOT. I am losing 8-10% overnight with wifi and data off with single SIM on 4G. Any suggestions how to improve standby drain?

Learn how to use mobile manager.
There stop apps from auto starting.
Close apps from recents menu when you go to sleep.
WiFi/data off.
Check WiFi settings where it does not keep looking for signals.
My standby drain over 8 hours is 1%, sometimes barely touching 2...

Check if your area has constantly signal fluctuation. I remember my friend constantly had signals switching between 3G & 4G on his 3T and his battery drain was worse, but only at his home. Otherwise it was good.
If signal strength is good, it might be something else.

Thanks. Last night I kept it in 2G after taking care of above steps and lost 3% in 7 hrs, which is reasonable. However, on 4G still losing around 7-8%. Not sure if AI is consuming battery.

I'm quite happy with the battery life on this device, constantly getting over 7h SOT with everything on [emoji108]

Around 4.5 hour with 30 minutes of pubg and switching between social media apps
Hope it gets improved in pue update
Initially got 3h43m sot with dual sim in 4G. Switched it to 2G/3G mode and sot increased to 5h45. So guess it was the constant fluctuations from 4G to 3G that was causing the low sot. But the last update a few weeks back and my sot has dropped to 5h, no change in my daily usage. Still in 2G/3G mode. Don’t know why the loss in almost an hour of sot
Hoping for good optimizations on pie.

9.0.11 Battery Drain

Here are the stats:
Verizon
9.0.11
Not rooted
I updated yesterday and the battery drain is a crapshow. Fully charged since 9 am, and its 1:30 now and I'm 84%, with a 6 min screen on time.
I literally touched my phone 10ish just to check messages and text a few people.

Install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
Then do some proper measurements. With just your explanation we can't do much ...
Install a kernel. I get 10 hrs screen time with radioactive
Not seeing a difference with 9.0.11 on mine over previous versions.
As for suggesting installing a kernel on a non rooted phone :-/
I also have the same problem, when I was in 9.0.7 I was able to get as much as 13hours screen on time in 48 hours or 7 hours in 6 days. Amazing battery life. Updated yesterday and the phone cannot compare. It is draining as much as 10% over night.
I am stock, no root.
Yeah they fcked something up.
Also beta2 has issues with standby drain...
I've seen this on and off. Some nights latent drain is 3%, others it is 13% with almost no app usage monitored.
Maybe cellular draw? Tonight I'm going into airplane mode with WiFi on and see what happens.

Do you have any social media apps? 7 hrs of sot in 6 days without a charge is nuts even that 13 hours of SOT in 48 hrs is impressive. I've been nowhere near those numbers with my 6t

no social media apps whatsoever besides viber and skype (but these do not count as facebook and the others) but even these are battery optimized.
phone is draining a lot now, not sure why. all is the same as before the update.

I agree. 9.011 is definitely draining battery faster than 9.07

Ya it must only be possible to get that good of sot without those apps. Do you use any Google apps, I know that is another battery drainer which decreases maximum sot potential.

Move to beta 2
Last night I let my phone on .11 sit idle for 9 hours in airplane mode with WiFi on. It drained 7 % over this time which is more than I used to see on build .07 with cell service on.
The odd thing is that apps are reporting very low usage (in total less than 1% of the battery overnight) so I need to look deeper. Phone is >95% deep sleep overnight.
Some nights low drain, some nights high, no pattern I have found.

.11 overnight (8 hours) on mine is currently draining around 3% over that period with everything on as normal.
I have experienced the same. But, after having .11 installed over a week now suddenly my SOT has improved to same level I had with .07.
I have read somewhere that since it is software controlled the system has to "learn" the most efficient way to handle, e g the option "Smart battery" (have that always on), and that process should take approx 1 week.
I do not know what's happens when I updated to a newer version. Maybe the system has to "relearn" again? My device is rooted, so I receive the full version on every update (no incremental) - maybe that also have an impact on the battery performance.
I do not say there lays any proof in this "theory", but my battery life is very good again (around 13 hours SOT/48 hours total). So in case you have updated recently, be patient for some extra days.
If I knew about this I would have stayed with 9.0.7. Let's hope they fix this soon.
Rebooted about an hour before going to bed, let phone charge to 100%. Unplugged. 9 hours later it was still at 98%. This was the first reboot in a while. Just a data point; previous night even with cellular off it lost lots more than that.

Suggest you to Wipe Cache from Recovery after a OTA update.
No issues here with .11
