nice

SOT 7h40min20sec 40% remains

I had noticed that when using miui globe it decreases the battery performance quite a bit, 100% on batt it calculates 16hrs remaining till next charge which it inst much but it´s still relevant to know idk its just a feeling

i don't know what's wrong with my redmi 7. Max screen time i reached is 6h 15m 44s and 3% remaining. 2-SIM cards, WiFi used, Brightness 100%. MIUI Version: Global 11.0.10

Not everyone uses the same apps with same amount of time. Anything in the 6 hour range is normal for this phone's battery.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Minor battery drain in note 5 pro
I have noticed 5-6% battery drop in idle 8-9 hours which i feel is on much higher side from nougat viewpoint.
I had lineage OS 7.1.2 in redmi note 3 previously and battery drain was only upto 1-2% overnight.
Well, even I've experienced a 5% of battery drain overnight. May be it's the issue with the stock kernel. Guess it'll be fixed soon by Xiaomi else a custom kernel will do the job.
Im using redmi nite 5 pro 6 gb variant. Im a moderate user and I face a heavy standby drain. It drains 5% while I use it just for watching videos in 15-20 minutes. Kindly reply if you face the same problem
I am on redmi Note 5 Pro 6 GB variant
Night time battery drain is as you mentioned shamefull
5-10%
And even with Battery Scene as sleeping the drain is not limited much (~5-7%)
rooting phone and coustom recovery affect the battery life of xiaome redmi note 5 pro
i notice like 6 % battery dranage overnight in sleep mode
Has anybody tried Greenify with "Aggressive Doze" and "Doze on the go" enabled?
I had 8% battery drain on wifi on idle for 6 hours. I would call it a fair.
I charge my phone once a day in the evening when in decreases to 20%, not exceeding above 80% takes me about 1 hour.
I have the global version phone, miui V9.5.6.0, I went to sleep with 80% battery, woke up with 79%.

Same for me. Wifi, GPS, data and bluetooth ON. Overnight mine drains 1-2%. Quite impressive
Mines draining quite a bit. I'm on the s636 Note 5 Global. Not sure if it's WhatsApp or Google etc causing it. I'm tempted to do a hard reset and see. I'm on MIUI 9.5.6.0 are there any guides on how to optimize the ROM? With light use I'm getting 1 day+ down to 40% but was expecting it to be better as I can see others have done so too.

Mostly WiFi. Oddly enough my phone just shows "4g" not 4g LTE
Yesterday I got 5 hrs SOT with over 1 hr of Pokémon Go and still 24% left. Display was on full brightness in auto mode because the sun was shining like crazy. That alone used around 30%. After that I set up my Android Wear watch and did some downloading of games etc.
I think when simply browsing on WiFi/4G way more is possible. Will post if I have some figures.
These 3 pictures are from today. Mostly wifi, 1 hr commute, 40 mins Pokémon Go, a lot of twitch and Reddit.
Gotta say, I am very impressed.
I don't have screenshots, but on first cycle I got 5h45 min SOT( setting up the phone, social media, youtube, phone calls etc.) and 35% battery left when I left to sleep. First impressions are great, and I'm really liking this phone so far.
From 95 to 25.
Wifi and LTE casual browsing, lots of instagram, some streaming to chromecast.
Battery is fine.

It is purely wifi right?
7hr 15 min of SOT in 16hr 5 min of usage. 4G on whole time except the 7hr at night during which the battery dropped 6 percent.
Will update about how long it can go.

It's absolutely bonkers.
My result - heavy usage with navigation, taking pictures, changing countries and only via LTE, 3G, 2G
I am having massive battery drain. The launcher, phone app and voice calls are the main culprits. I have just charged my phone so I will be posting my stats when it drains below 20%
I am mostly on lte and a medium user. I am getting only 4.30 to 5 hrs of sot when the phone hits 15%.
10 mins of calls takes 4% of phone and voice calls. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance.

Not bad, my old device Xperia z2 would go down to 35% for similar usage.
My screen on time is 5 hours. And battery drains to 27%. It isn't bad, but it isn't half as good as what others are getting.
I'm getting terrible battery level life. See attached screenshots. The phone is also very warm and still discharges when plugged in via USB. Do I have a faulty unit? Any tips gladly received. I've reset it, formatted the SD Card (from my old phone). I'm at a loss.
My battery life on 1st full charge with dual sim usage on 4G: I am pretty impressed with it.

On a single charge I am able to get 1.5 day usage with all time mobile data on. If I am on wifi it can last around 2 days.
SOT is almost same.

What am looking for is a phone which can last a me whole day typically 15 hourday with emails phone calls social media, an hour of streaming music on Bluetooth with good camera. Is this better in terms of battery life or OnePlus 6?

i get 8h sot for browSing on wifi (accubattery measurement!)
pietpietersen said:
I dont get why gsmarena says web browsing sot for moto x4 is +- correct (it says 12 but i could easily get 10 on wifi)
But for honor 10 the sot for webbrowsing also states 12h but seems more liie 6-7 indeed. (maybe its cause my battery is not calibrated yet, im still on first charge) , i hope it gets 10h on wifi.
According to gsmarena that should be possible

Have never got over 6 hours SOT
my app (accubattery) seems to display 8 hours of SOT while browsing on wifi atm.
and not sure if its because i have turned on battery saving but past 2 days i get 9-10 hours browsing on wifi.
that seems right for a 3400 battery for it specs.

Got about 7 + hours of SOT ..
What is approximately the SOT when using i) mobile data and ii) two SIM cards?
Sent from my Huawei Mate S using Tapatalk
I'm getting a bit more, but mostly over WiFi, ralely on data (4G), sometimes I charge the phone at night before going to sleep (10:30pm), go to sleep with my phone near to me and check it several times during the night, and it reaches 4pm with 30% of battery, so I feel like in normal situation more than 14 hours of charge and around 8 hours of use.
installed a new app for battery measurement called 3c battery widget.
according to this thing i probably get around 8 hours of sot as well. (wifi browsing brightness set not too high)
I can get max 3-4 hours SOT. 4G active all the time except when I sleep ~8 hours. GPS allowed. No wifi, not playing games at all. Using Facebook, messenger, 9gag and sometimes navigation.
Record is 2.3 hours SOT at 54% battery so with same usage I could get about 5 hours. Usually 1 SOT hour = 25% battery for me.

I am getting 9-10hours SOT consistently on the P30 Pro, mine is the 256GB 8GB RAM version, and I have been thoroughly enjoying the camera and battery life.
8 but i have another 20% battery so i can make it 10.
I am definitively not getting that much.
Right now I have 29% battery left with 4,5 h of SOT and 1,5 hours of calls, couple of pictures taken yesterday. BT was on the whole time connected to my watch GT, Wifi on, 4G on.
I just updated yesterday afternoon to version 124. Maybe it improves over time.
What's the best way to drain less battery? Keep WiFi on or Mobile Data on or both at the same time?
With a normal use (from 5:45 to 17:45) with
auto brightness, 2 wearable connected, 4h of music via BT, GPS always on, 1h of voice call... I made 9h of SOT within 48 hours (with a single charge)
I have a problem. The battery menu can not be more than 6h SOT. I do not know where I'm wrong. can he help?
I have the same problem. I think since the update the battery drain is insanely fast.. No rogue apps, just fb, messenger, and mostly of them are put to manual mode.. What is going on, pls help. Also it can barely go through 24h without charging, mostly 5h on screen time max..
Coming from moto z play battery on p30 pro is a sad joke. 6-7h SOT charged on the morning, empty at the evening, with screen dimmed as much as i can, either by app that lowers auto brightness by 50%, or lowering it manualy. I have read reviews that stated great battery life, so either they were misleading or maybe i should turn it to the service. 124 software, but it wasn't any better before the update.
Hmm gsam :/

Sounds like a faulty device. You should be getting 8 hours and over for SOT
Good
11 hours SoT. Auto brightness. Pretty goood. :good:
But was auto brightness at the minimum value, possible only in darkness?
How the hell do you get 11h on screen time with one charge????
Either with screen dimmed so it's visible only in total darkness + wifi internet... or in fact some people have outstanding battery and other got horrible.
I always end my day with 50-60% left and 4-5hrs of sot. Auto brightness and mobile data.

The brightness was average 50%. It has to be mentioned that the battery is hugly affected which apps that are used. As you can see from my post i used reddit and youtube a lot when i got 11 hours SoT.
I have experienced 6-11 hours SoT. So 7 hours is not bad... It all depends on which apps that are used.
I have charged it this morning, now It has past 2h and 45 min since the charging, screen on time 52 min and 88% left. It says only 20h are left before the battery runs out.

the battery of the phone is garbage... imho
5000 mah and the screen time is 5-6 hours.
trhe problem is the display that drain all the charge. i see the battery information right now 6 hours of screen , 92% of display battery usage, all the rest are applications and system. hope that xiaomi and poco will fix something.
That's really disappointing. I had a oneplus one with a similar display and similar on screen time. But with a much smaller battery. I expected at least 8 hours of screen time for poco x3.
Guys yesterday I achieved 4.15 hours of sot with 50% battery left. 50/50 WiFi and 4g, heavy usage. With 120hz.

yea, exactly... on pocophone f1 i pushed around 9 10 hours.. easily .. i gues more optimisation is needed, i dont believe that 845 ifs more efficient than 732g .. cmon its 5000mah battery this thing should last at least 11-12 h sot

i get now 81 % and 1:30 sot on wifi auto brightness 120 hz its not bad but battery its 5k check it in accu and it show 5160 so its not the battery maybe its that 120hz
But some ppl are reporting really nice sot around 10h is there any chance to check our screen manufacturer maybe Xiaomi use few different panels in poco 3 in check hw info app form gp and service menu but i can't find this info.
Usual for me is 6-7 hrs sot with 50% left
120hz activated
So the battery is awesome
According to AccuBattery I got about 12h SOT, thats about what I expected.
Medium usage, 120hz activated, energy saving off.
I guess the adaptive refreshrate helps a lot to save energy, e.g. it quite instantly drops to 30hz if watching a normal Youtube video.
It's strange this problem, 90% of display battery usage, it's a bug ? a global problem ?
After the update I have better battery endurance, 51% left with 5 hours SOT and just a tiny charging time during the day.
If someone has a battery issue you can try what i just did yesterday. Go to about the phone and update click in the right upper corner and click download newest update or something like that it will download full 2.4 gb rom and after that just do the update, maybee that 240 mb was quack
Now i have pretty decent sot i think but its only the begining
Battery for now seems really good
Played some light games, wifi always ON
edit:
120hz OFF
sync OFF
MIUI optimizations OFF on dev settings
I was indoors alot so brightness was probably low
I'll post again with 5-10% battery

i'm getting about 6-7% battery per hour of SOT on 60hz screen.. i will test 120hz the next full charge, but i suspect its about 10% per hour of SOT..

Hi. What kind of usage?
---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------
I'm a little disappointed for the battery life of this Poco X3. At least for me: with normal usage, under wifi, social and messaging apps, with 60hz refresh rate I get maximum 6/7hrs SoT. I hope it will be optimize in next updates.
