Guys please post you battery life and brenchmerks on nougut and marshmallow so that we can decide which one is better. Some people experiencing poor battery life in nougut. Share screenshot of battery stat and gsm battery monitor and other battery monitoring app. And sorry for bad english.
My rom is stock nougut. Cell standby 2 percent. Phone idle 3 percent. Screen 14 percent.
Screenshot is bellow.
No screenshot on my side but for me the Nougat update has revived the phone: much better battery life (+1h SOT I would say), run cooler, less stutters, smooth scrolling in chrome, fast wifi connection and all the nougat advantages. I haven't seen bugs apart from the system UI tuner that resets itself.
I am running 100% stock, took the OTA when it was offered to me and made a factory reset.

I'll try to remember next week, I switch back to my S7 for the weekend.
Getting almost 4 hours of SOT on my 8 months old device.
My device is 14 months old and I use dual sim cards, mostly I'm on WiFi.
I get 1.5-3 hours of SOT generally. I generally have to charge my phone 3 times a day.
Stock nougat
Only using WiFi
Mostly browsing and videos on YouTube.
Getting 4 to 4.5 hours of sot.
I manage to have 5 hours SoT with android stock funcionalitys only. I am doing test but i maybe i will create a teadh latter to explain how to get more SoT.

I have 2hr SOT. VERY POOR. NEED TO CHARGE 3 TIMES A DAY
Here are my screenshots. I was mostly on WiFi during the day, did a lot of reading/browsing, a little YouTube, and gamed for around 30 minutes. Before I would have needed to recharge mid-afternoon and was getting 2:30/3h max SOT a day.
I'm extremely pleased with the update.
After doing a heavy tweaking of the phone without root i managed to get more than 5 hour of SoT. After that i was getting an unaceptable 3hs SoT.

Probably tonigth i will post a full guide with all the things i did. It is nothing magical, just disabling things, etc.
I used this to get better battery life:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...ide-improve-battery-life-performance-t3647155
Getting about 15-20 minutes of additional SOT after nougat update
I've tried maybe 5-6 nougat roms based on LineageOS along with a few different kernels, and battery life is far worse than on the marshmallow roms I've used (last one was Dirty Unicorns). Unfortunately, I don't any battery stats right now, but I regularly check battery stats on GSam and SOT and stand-by/doze is definitely much worse now compared to the marshmallow roms I've tried. I've played around with different kernel settings etc, but nothings has helped really.
How has battery life been on nougat in your experience? If battery life has improved with nougat in your case, what rom and kernel are you using?

Nougat battery life is about the same for me as it was on MM(@4.5-5 hours SOT on average).
I use Tesla with the included(stock) kernel. Here's a link if you wanna give some AOSP/non-lineageOS based ROMs a try...

Holy crap, 4,5h SOT!! Really? And that's with a standard 3000 mAh battery? Thanks for the tip, will try that rom. Could very well be that non-LineageOS roms have better battery life on nougat.
4+hrs of SOT on a 2013 phone is kinda ridiculous, unless you are reading Word files with everything turned off. I cant see anyone averaging that while using reddit,twitter,facebook,youtube, etc. Im a heavy user and i have 3-3.5hrs of SOT.

Na... 4+ hours is normal with location off, running on wifi, underclocked to 1958Mhz, using auto-brightness, a new battery from 2016, and using greenify to kill apps from running in the background. Of course, if I was on LTE watching youtube videos all day my battery wouldn't last as long, but that's not how I use my phone.
3-3.5 hours SOT is still pretty good, especially if you the Facebook app. That app is a notorious battery killer.

4-5 hours SOT here too. Same time with MM but now I'm on the AICP rom for my ls990 using standard kernel and clock speeds. Wifi, BT, and network data is always on. Only mod I'm using is a thermal pad on the SoC. Then again, I'm on my 6th battery so I'm not sure if that makes a diff.
At one time I had Facebook installed and it's messenger app. Together, they dropped my SOT to about 2 hours. Now that's ridiculous and offensive. I only use the Facebook website through the web browser instead, and that restored my SOT to 4-5 again.

I suggest you try facebook from Hermit, it brings down the data and improves battery. I tried it 8 months ago and im not going back.
Please share your screen on time in single charge .
Thank you guys.
I hit nearly 10 hours yesterday. Todays charge I'm on 7h 48m with 18% left
All on miui.eu build.
6 to 7 hours, miui 10.2.8
10h-12h medium usage. no gaming but stream a lot. 2 weeks old device.
7 and half hours max with gaming included
I'll tell you ASAP 'cause I've bought it today
Its 6-7 hours. LTE range is not good in my area so its around 6 and half on 4G. When on 2G or 3G and WiFi , SOT goes beyond 7 and half. My usage is browsing only, no gaming.
5h to 6 with miui 10.3.6
what's wrong with me, i can't go over 4h on sot ?? miui 10.3.6

Debloat MiUi. USE LTE ONLY ON ONE SIM. Select 2G on other.
you know what, i install miui global eea v10.3.2.0 and update to v10.3.2.0 and look the result is too good!!
Mine
I was initially getting ridiculously good SoT, easily above 10h while GPS, Bluetooth, Sync etc. all open.
Since last week, Play Services started to eat battery a lot. Still well above 7-8h SoT, and it's more than enough, but it's weird :/

Ah yes. Is it responsible for this?
Also to be fair, yesterday I still got 9 hour SoT, but I think originally it was longer.
I don't get what i'm doing wrong, i basically installed resurrection rom with elvira kernel and i barely get 4 hours of sot trough a workday
am i doing something wrong

I've red somewhere that it could be responsible of some battery drain.. Go in battery settings and turn off any background process for the gcam.
Syberia is absolutely amazing rom!
First cycle of charge... See screenshots ... All out of the box... Kernel stock and anyone configuration to save battery...
I'm absolutely freaked and happy!
on MIUI 5 days bought
12hs screen
Finally I got this phone.
And I'm happy with that.
Usage 4 days.
Hi all
I thought I'd ask the experts about what are in your opinion some good roms for battery backup?
I'm currently on stock MIUI Global 11.0.5.0 (PFGMIXM) but I'm not much satisfied with the battery backup (5-6hours SOT).
I need some stable firmware since I use my phone mostly for work, no gaming, no social media, just phone calls, messaging and some light youtube usage.
Thanks!
Ion OS is brilliant, especially for battery - sourceforge.net/projects/i-o-n/files/device/xiaomi/lavender/ Around 10-11 hours SOT.
Anyone can compare MIUI vs Xiaomi.eu VS Pixel?

Miui right now just being laggy and jerky sometimes with animation, thus pixel based cutom rom just some having like miui and some is dont. I prefer evolution x on latest build, which smooth operation per my multitasking usage(on stock kernel obviously), whilst the battery just doing better other than resurection remix, pixel experience etc.

Could you be more specific about how long the battery lasts, I mean that if you are using your phone for like 4-5 days then 5-6h of SOT is quite normal for this phone but if you meant just one day then it should be about 10-11h of SOT as there will be less energy consumed by things like cellural network.
I had pretty good battery backup with POSP by AmulayaX but i found out that slow-motion isn't working so i switched to StagOS (unofficial EAS by Jimgsey) and i like this rom but i have some small issues and i consider switching to official.

5-6h SOT in 2 days. I'm not playing games I only use my phone for calls, whatsapp, emails and web navigation.
I'm on dual sim though.
I could never achieve 10h SOT in stock. Any hints for some good rom that can do that?
Thanks

Someone already suggested you to try Ion Official for Redmi Note 7 as it is EAS & feature rich also. But for more you can try Bliss ROM as well. Last but not the least LineageOS 17.1 Official. I'm currently using Bliss ROM. It is the best in all others upto now i have tried.

U can't reach 10 h SOT by 2 days on battery.
Calculate 0,5 %/h idle drain
2 days 48h - 5 hours Active drain = 43 h idle time
43 x 0,5 = 21,5 %
so round about 20% battery is lost in idle time
so 80 % for active drain.
Charging battery at 15%
80-15 = 60% left for active drain
On mostly all roms i tested i get an active drain by 10% per hour
Wud be for u 6 hours SOT
Seems normal drain with ur MIUI
But aosp roms are so much faster and mutitasking so much better compared to MIUI.
I only got 3 GB model and there no way back to MIUI
I gave PixelE+ a try but I'm experiencing less battery backup than stock (and some random freezes too).
I'll try ION or Xiaomi.eu in the coming days.
Meanwhile what about changing kernel? Any good recommendations please?

for me changing kernel isnt a game changer
its all about SOT, screen brightness for sure and good working deep sleep.
Screen is biggest power consumer.
Kernel maybe change covernor and undervolt cpu. sure this brings a lil power. but trust me it makes just a very lil differece. u cant compare ur drain because ur usage isnt same.
if wanna judge a kernels power consumtion u have to do all the same.
watching 2 hours youtube, play same game aso with same screen brightness with same wifi state aso.
i bet theres no "big" difference.

I'm currently on Pixel and I can make 4h SOT in 2 days. I don't play games or use YouTube. Just phone calls, whatsapp, browser, emails and I'm always on dual sim.
With stock MIUI I used to reach 5-6h SOT in 2 days so with my personal usage Pixel is worse in battery life compared to stock MIUI.
I'm thinking of trying something like Xiaomi.EU now since it's based on MIUI stock...
As i say, for me there are just few differences in battery life from rom to rom.
Miui is slow and bloated compared to non miui based custom rom.
When u just installed new rom u have more drain cause of trying out the rom. U have more usage compared to ur old rom. Lets get rom settle for a while before judge.
At least all rom take power. All rom need display. I think display always takes same power in every rom when u got same brightness.
At home in ur wlan mostly watching YouTube u get better battery (maybe under 8% per hour drain maybe less) than navigating in the sun with mobile data (cost 12% per hourand more) battery

I'm with you however I'm currently on Xiaomi.eu 11 (debloated) and battery backup is much better than Pixel. I hit 6h SOT on the first run, expected to improve in the coming days after a few charging cycles.
Same usage, the exact same apps running.
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.

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.
