MX battery life?

Hi! I got my MX couple of months ago, and I can tell I love it. Anyways the only things I wasnt happy with were the battery life and reception, and so I updated my phone's flyme os yesterday. (from 1.0.3 to 1.1.1)
I assumed the update would fix the issues ( as I think it did for the reception ) but the battery seems to be even more horrible after the update.
It seems that after the update my MX didnt even completely charge up. I put my phone on the charger at around 2:30 and unplugged it at 13:30, so it was on power for about 11 hours, but it didnt even charge itself completely in addition to the fact that it stopped actually charging at around 8 o clock as we can clearly see from the "today" screenshot.
Then comparing it to the "yesterday" screenshot with 1.0.3 we can tell it charged itself up completely.
Ive got the new 2core model with the updated 1700 mah battery (which should have the best battery life of all of the mx models) and this makes me wonder what is the battery like on the other mx's if this is normal. And yes my phone was showing the charging animation on the screen during the time I mentioned earlier in the message.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try this right away. Flyme will backup all data, right?

Except apps. If you have it enabled.

1.0.3 here, quad core model, my battery is fine, gets me over a day with normal use.
However I admit that it could be better.
Its also well known that 1.1.1 contained a bug that ate battery, so stay away from that firmware.
I didn't test 1.1.3 yet.

Thanks for the info. Im currently on 1.1.3 and the battery seems even worse than it was. I really dont know what to do - the battery runs out in just couple of hours.
Hows your reception? Do you get good speeds all the time ? Did the update have effect on that? Mines horrible.. ;s

Restore, wifi never sleeps, what? I dont get it
Sent from my M031 using xda app-developers app

My MX arrives this week and I'll be measuring the battery carefully to see if I can't find a replacement. (Yes, I realize it's not supposed to be "user replaceable", but the teardowns confirm that it is if you've got the patience and dedication. Here's hoping there is a higher-capacity battery in the same form factor.) Apps are nice, but more juice is better.

1.1.5 is out, do you think I should try that? Theres no thing mentioned about battery in the changelog but there's some magic in updates sometimes, isn't there?

Hehe that's true. I use 1.1.5 and it feels pretty good.

1.1.5 is nice, however there is a bug in android terminal emulator.
The osk wont work until you change the input type setting to word based.
I also suggest prerooting the image, Ubuntu works nicely on it too.

Yeah I heard about that bug, but that's an easy fix isn't that Also never ran into the need of terminal on my MX.
There was someone on meizume forums telling he could upload a prerooted image of 1.1.5, and as I have 0 experience on how to preroot the file I wish he could do that. You see I'm a newbie - don't just tell me to do things, please tell me HOW to do the things aswell ^^,

Kedros uploaded one already. You can just fetch his.

Battery is 71mm x 35mm x Unknown Depth. If I can find a few batteries matching the length-width, I can start trying to transplant them into my MX quad core.

Please keep us updated on that.
I would love to stick a higher capacity battery in there.

No, you don't need to use Elemental with Pure Nexus, Kylo is fine. There is no right or wrong combination, it comes down to personal preference. You need to use BetterBatteryStats to find out what's causing your battery drain.

You do not need to change the kernel. Kylo is good too, i was just referring to my own preference.Try switching governor profiles.
Also, make use of BetterBatteryStats app. It is paid, but surely worth buying. Will help you get a much detailed look on what's happening to the battery.

So instead of stealing it you can have it legitimately. I'm going to leave this conversation now though, piracy is a huge no-no here on XDA, and on a personal level I find it quite disgraceful to steal from developers, especially small ones like Sven. Not having access to a credit card isn't an excuse to steal from someone. I wish you luck in fixing your problem.

4hrs SOT is not bad, all depends of how and where you're using your phone. When I'm at work (UK's village) I'm getting even less than 4hrs (bad or no signal), but at home, with dimmed display and good signal I manage to get more than 6hrs. As soon as your phone goes to sleep, there's nothing to be worry about.

I think it might be one of two things, either an app with a rogue code that's causing your phone to stay awake and eating cpu cycles or something misconfigured in the kernel. You can either start deleting some apps that you may think are the cause of the problem or try flashing the stock kernel to see if that solves the issue. I'm running PureNexus with stock kernel and my phone loses less than 1% battery/h if I don't touch the phone at all.

Stock OnePlus 5 Android Pie Fast Battery Drain

Hey!
I got my stock OP5 updated into Android Pie last January 26, 2019. After receiving the update and updating it, I seem to notice that the battery drains faster. Anyone experiencing similar?

I honestly haven't but I ended up doing a full wipe attempting to fix a problem that was actually hardware related. Have you tried clearing all cache in recovery?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

No, not yet. Also, I can't do it right now since I have lot of files and important apps. I will let you know if I do it.
Here is an update on my battery status.

When you get the chance, I suggest you do a backup and do a full wipe. Stuff like this is rather common when you do a upgrade of the OS and this is why everyone here recommend a clean install when it comes to major updates.

Clearing just the cache (not data) won't lose any of your files. I don't think you lose anything really if I remember right. It may not fix the problem but it can't hurt to try. It should probably be done every now and then anyway.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Haven't really tried your suggestions yet since I am really busy these days.
Here is an update. My status is improving.
What happened was my battery was totally drained, 0 and off.l, when I woke up. Then, I charged it to 100 then turned it on. After that, my battery became tolerable.

Hi
Can I suggest you to download the naptime app from PlayStore (by Francisco franco?). It's just about to open the app ,activate it ,go down and choose which apps you won't put on sleep like Gmail/ WhatsApp/ messenger or whatever you need always up. All the other processes will be putted to sleep. Francisco Franco is the king of this things . Don't need to be rooted. You can have a Go. Today after use it a lot,I still 33% left. Hope it's help as the op5 is still a so great phone but for business they need to put it down.

Battery drain after pie update
Hi I'm currently using oneplus 5. I'm facing battery drain issue. When i charge my phone to 100 percent it starts. Draining first 8 percent very quickly. Almost in 10 mins. And after that it works normally. I'm getting just 5-5:30 hrs of sot with moderate usage. Its quite frustrating. Kindly someone help me with this. I've cleared my cache but no luck with it.

Android-system using up a lot of battery

Today I've noticed that the android-system apparently uses up a lot of battery. My phone shows 13% usage

You can also try debloting your rom. It will be much more better

I mean just flash it, dnt wipe anything.
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.11....IGlobal_V10.3.11.0.PFJMIXM_a63c8d3d93_9.0.zip
After that, pls debloat your room as in the thread above , you will see this will make it far better stand by and reduce battery consumption, cos i had the same and solved like that.

I had the same problem for 3 weeks. It sometime go away for awhile then manifest itself back. Also trying many troubleshooting things to no avail.
What solved the problem for me is uninstall Games app as mentioned by this comment https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78453063&postcount=31.
TL;DR: Uninstall bloatware (with Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools) as many as possible especially the Games app (Package: com.xiaomi.glgm).
YMMV

Got the same problem. Androidsytem uses like 25% of my battery according to the stats.
Debloated as much as I could and couldnt see any strange wakelocks. My device is deep sleeping well.
Still no idea why Android system uses so much of my battery

Check your autostart apps, check the battery optimizations apps, disable app vault, disable wifi scanning in location...
Sent from my Mi 9T using XDA Labs

This issue is related to 11.0.5.0 update. We can't do anything but to wait for next update, although make sure all your Google apps are upto date, especially if you're having animations lag. Problem seems to be compatibility related with installed apps, you'll also notice improved battery life once you update all the installed apps and if there's any lag, that'll be fixed too.

Well the point is that I've already done all of that I don't know what to do next to improve that battery ​

If your phone's bootloader is unlocked, you can try to use a custom kernel (safer if you backup "boot" and "dtbo" partition before installing custom kernel) and/or a debloat script (I don't like it because you can broke some MIUI functionalities and get a bootloop...) to improve battery life.

I would like to keek the bootloader locked and I already debloat some bloatware with Xiaomi adb fastboot tools with a sure list of safe to debloat but nothing changed very much I Always have Android system approximately at 30% of battery usage

Did you remove Chrome also with adb tools? Reduced Android system to 15% for me.

I think "Download latest package" in the updater and actually performing it is worth a shot.

I was woried about Android System usage being to big, so I did what you did I debloated miui, and my Android system usage was still very high. But i tested how much screen on time I get and it was around 8-9 hours so I think it's quite good. Also I discovered that if you use Google podcasts then the time you listen goes in to Android system time.

I can barely have a sot of 5-6 hours ... But what's Google podcast ? Is there a way to disable it?

The feedback team confirmed me today in the Mi community that this is a bug already reported and they try to fix it..

You got a link to mi community with this statement (hoping it does not break XDA rules) ?
Because I'm afraid they tell you that but in fact, they do nothing, since this problem is present for months now.

I am also interested in updates on this topic... My Android system is always at 30-35%... I tried everything: disabled MIUI optimization, turned off several auto start options, used adb debloaters, forced app optimization through adb commands, use a macro that kills the Xiaomi service framework every 15 minutes etc etc. Literally nothing has worked on my 2 weeks old Mi 9t, so I am now asking myself if I want to stay at MIUI waiting for a fix or install a custom ROM such as Lineage.
Has anyone experience with lineage os on the Mi 9t. Are there any issues with it, i.e. similar battery drain issues?

I just hope they get this sorted out. I am on 65% battery and only have 1h 45min of SOT. That's unbelievable considering the mi 9t has a huge 4Ah battery.
Edit: I just watched the MIUI 12 reveal from today and it didn't really look like they paid attention to the battery issue, but concentrated more on adding sleek visual optics and animations... Not sure about the next update. But the first roll out is more than one month ahead (end of june) so I guess I'll be switching to lineage os for now
