Battery life discussion

Definitely impressed so far. How about your experience?

I'd like to know wich rom offers better battery life, xiaomi.eu or official global.

I get 6-7h of SoT regularly. But then I use my phone heavily every single day, needing to recharge at 3pm, almost never allowing the phone to sleep/turn off the display.

Amazing Batterylife

Since I've used reading mode my screen on time is 5 hours, meanwhile at first my Sox was about 6.30 hours...

i got decent 6 hour screen on time in normal usage ( in performance and balance mode)
i always turn performance mode because i did notice some frame drop and lag
i just received redmi 4 prime view day ago
and it beat redmi note 4 battery life

Battery life is awesome! I'm coming from the iPhone 6s and I'm completely stunned by the battery life I get with this phone!

I get on average 7 hours screen on time (chrome instagram twitter whatsapp spotify youtube twitch) and phone last about at least 18-20 hours. Amazing

GSam works on your phone? MIUI keeps killing off mine, so the results are horribly inaccurate. Tried high priority, tried removing power saving from MIUI app settings, tried putting notification. Kept killing off the notification.

You should go to Settings and then Permissions and then Autostart and select the apps you want to be able to run in the background and autostart.

Pretty decent battery with the alternative rom from cofface.
img15.hostingpics.net/pics/421253Screenshot20161222000030.png

Around 4-5 hours SOT, 20% brightness mostly reddit, FB, manga, that's with wifi + dualsim btw.

can you tell me what is the pecertange of cell standby on your phone when you have 5-6 hours sot and what ROM do you use? thank you

Thunder ROM, no tweaks or settings changed, WiFi + dualsim, 4G if there's no WiFi

Between the huge battery and the very customizable "doze" alternative, this thing sips its juice like a little bird. Could go for a few days if need be. Stock everything.

Lol what? That's impossible.. That's probably on multiple charges or you left the screen of the phone on overnight without using it (which will only consume some %).

Dude seriously? 23 hours with 11 hours of SOT? That's the craziest I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. What is your usage? (apps, wifi or 3G/4G)

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
[/url]

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)

No Wi-Fi.. Only Cellular Data. Can hit 7h SOT really impress..

Let's see how long can it maintain excellent battery life.. Sorry for the other post..

Data always on since no wifi. Manage to get 7-8 hours sot.

I think I've got exceptionally good battery life, I'm happy so far!

30h after last charge
+4h SOT
Still +50% left
2x SIM Dual LTE, VoLTE and WIFI Calling on
6x GMAIL, 2x IMAP, over 50 Apps, anything on (Bluetooth, GPS, WIFI..)
Really really good! Sometimes I get over 10h SOT but never under 8h after 2 full days.

Battery life is one of the main reasons I switched from the Pro and X to this. 4000mah, compared to 4200mah and 5000mah of the other two, has however the best battery life. This LCD screen consumes much less battery. I have been using the phone 90% under 4G with auto brightness today, and I'm amazed to see the result. I don't get this SOT on the Pro and X even under WIFI, let alone under 4G.

amazing!
75% on wifi

Fantastic

2 full days
3h SOT
50% left
2x SIM (both 4G)
Bluetooth, GPS and WIFI all the time on
50% WIFI 50% LTE
This phone is sick! It is almost a Redmi Note with powerfull hardware. It's hot here but display is on auto, anything is on, few min. calling, lil bit Spotify, few min. Youtube, a lot WhatsApp...
Anytime I get 6h with no WIFI
With WIFI I get +8h SOT
This is one of the real "working phones". My OP7 can also hit 8h SOT but after 1 day, WIFI and Youtube. Without video and mobile data is hard to get 5h SOT.

Nice, imagine what you'd get if you did some debloating and tweeking.

Hello,
If there is any Mate 20 owner here, two questions:
- did you get EMUI 10.1.x update?
- how is the SOT time after passing to Android 10 ?

Hi, I've got that update and SoT is still amazing. From 8 do 11 hrs, depends of how I use it. Still scik phone and sick battery! :good:

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 Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

My current record is 8 hours and 45 minutes SoT from 100% to 0% battery in one take, this is with screen brightness at 50% at all time.
I don`t like the automatic light change. It`s good for the day but when you go in very dark rooms or it`s just night it goes way too dim for my taste.
My average battery time is about 45 hours with around 5 hours of SoT.
This is with constant 50% screen brightness, mobile data always on;;; wi-fi, location, bluetooth, nfc, always on display turned off. Most of that time I`m actively using internet with calls for average 30 minutes per day.
I use it with 2 sim cards, one for calls, one for 4G internet. I have VoLTE active on one of the cards but it`s the internet one, haha. My main mobile operator have still not turned on this service for us.
So I think the battery performance is very good. I come from my old HTC E9+ which had 2 hours and 40 minutes SoT at best so for me this is extremely big jump in the freedom to do things with the device.
=====
I have managed to bring up my average SoT with disabling some things.
The only thing I still don`t know why the battery stat does not show every program I have used but only the ones with usage over 15 minutes. I would understand it for external apps, but I have used also google maps for at least 10 minutes today and I don`t see it in the list. Or this is just the way Oreo works?

I think I managed to get to peak optimization. Over 2 days of use with 8 hours of screen time.
I love this phone. :good:
The screens are from few days ago but I only got to have time and post them today.
This result is with 50% constant brightness. Yesterday I learned that I can actually train the automatic brightness to my desire so I expect to get even more from the battery life.
If only the camera were not so horrendous this phone would be truly ideal. Oh well, I don`t use it as main source for making photos anyway, heh.

Im getting About 10-11 hours of SoT. Im gonna add some Screenshots soon

I`m more inclined to get the battery to last for more days than SoT, currently this is what I can get with maximum optimizations.

Guys, You are showing some unreal results for me. My battery lasts only for 1 day. In order to rich 3 days of batt life, I have to activate airplane mod and do not use the device.?

Well, if you give as much as I of my time to do optimizations may be you will also be able to feel the pleasure of long lasting battery.
I have disabled over 60 apps and services. I have uninstalled some stuff, I did some things with adb shell. Took me days of tuning and removing all of the bloatware.
Also my worst SoT for now, just little over 5 hours. I guess voice calling (40 min.) and viber calls(over 1 hour) really suck battery juice.

I've made a lot of optimizations and tricks, debloats, have been messing around with governors and kernels, tried greenify in all my previous devices and can tell that 11 hours ToS is impossible for me and most of the users. It should be something like ultra power saving mode with disabled most of the functions. You can share here how to make battary last for eternity , by the way?.

@dennikali It is Jajanken from envy~ (I`m using envJajanken_proper.apk)
Here is how it looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eDJyTI5Xyw
I love it because it manages to make my notifications dark while many other themes can`t do that.

@Belgarionbg
I see you use YT Vanced. Do you have root?

No, I don`t have root.
I have installed XDA Laps app and I have download it from their app store. Everything work normally.

And this is what I have achieved using half my normal SoT (4 hours instead of 8)
This is on one full charge from 0% to 100% battery.
In this 4 days I have not connected the phone to pc nor any other kind of charger just to see how far it would go.
I made a video just in case someone try to accuse me in using photoshop. video in the folder<<
After 2 months of use the only thing I`m not satisfied is the camera, but with such good battery life I really don`t care anymore.

The first day after i buy the phone i lost 1 % overnight
After that the phone loses 5 yo 8% battery overnight although i do nothing. Why

Can you give a link to gcam ?

So, my average of SoT with almost 2 full days of use is about 5 hours, can get it to 6.5 hours sometimes if use youtube for a while for listening music while away from PC.
Here is one of screencaps from yesterday, friend asked for SoT and I got it.
Screen is on Auto, WiFi, Mobile, Location, NFC, AoD are always on and lately connect phone to BT Speaker while listening music, so this is for me pretty much good SoT (after P9 Lite which had sometimes abominable SoT with less then 2 hours).

That's nice! You're getting a great battery life.
Unfortunately I'm in Oreo but I've still had a good battery life and it surprises me compared to my old devices. Definitely the best battery life I've had!

I already received Android Pie two days ago and I'm getting better battery life!

Amazing battery life with Android Pie (9.0) on my SM-A750G. Still dont believing how can i get those results with a short battery capacity in 2019, 3300 mAh. Beautifully amazing!

-Location: Off

-Screen resolution: Default FHD+ (1080x2220 (i'd like to find an option to change it lower or higher without root))
That's all. Almost every cell phone i've had has had good battery life because of the custom settings i add.

What about your battery life? I'd like to know.

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.

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.
