Xiaomi mi3 display - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a xiaomi mi3 td a few weeks ago. Untill now its really awesome and in my opinion the worlds best phone ecspecially for this the price. But Im experiencing a really annoying issue. The battery drains much faster than it should (sometimes 800mW). It last only around 10 hours (at normal usage) other mi3's last around 2 days with same usage.
The screen is draining up to 70% of the battery even if its on low brightness!
After some time "googling" this issue, i found a thread where someone was experiencing the same issue with an s4, but nobody could help him...
i believe in you guys :laugh:
So pls help

bump

i update to v23 also INDIA but battery drains prob is there. maybe we should wait for latest update

I believe the Android 4.4.4 update(s) fix battery issues for those facing them.

Try Developer rom 4.4.4
I suggest you to try the latest 4.8.8 developer version.

You What is your screen on time? The battery can be drained within the hours you mentioned if you are using 3g and using phone heavily, I have got about 6.5hours screen on time on average with 3g
On another note Op has the TD version, which is the Chinese version, so be careful when selecting the Roms for flashing

Ohhh my God 2 days and 4 hours which version of temasek you using and which vadonka version of kernel? I'm using 135.4 temasek and used latest Etana stock lite kernel
In standby mode with turned on WLAN and on 2G (running Temaseks CM7 Builds, forgot the kernel) I had a battery drain of 1% in 4 hours. The room was pretty cold though! So not a lot of heat for the phone to deal with.

i think that is Temasek 129 or 130 (not quite sure because the settings show 1xx, but i know that every newer rom 131-135 didn't work for me)
kernel is Vadonka's OC (from 07-2012 i think)
btw this 2 day battery life is with processor 216-1100 Mhz setting (not with that 1504 mhz from antutu screen)
Guys any idea why my phone. Sucking. Battery even. No app instaled. Bare. Rom still. Drain. On standby no wifi. No data. No phone. Call same drain?

Pics or it didn't happen. Or maybe it was a battery reading bug, what happened after those 4 hours? Did it still not drain anything or started overcompensating for not draining in the first 4 hours?
Ya have that problem too whenever I get hope it drained less suddenly it's deepen the graph ...you guys really lucky having 2 days standby that's seriously great

It actually did happen and it wasn't a battery reading bug. After a few minutes of usage my battery percentage sunk by 1%. As usual. No clue how that happened but the room was seriously cold (around 2-3 degrees Celsius.) and I haven't touched the phone at all. Also the processor was clocked at 216mhz the entire time.
Unfortunately that was back in June and I have no way to prove it. This did really happen though. I was pretty shocked too when I saw the ridiculously low drain.

[Q] Firmwares ?

Hey, I am currently looking threw all the different kdz's available for all the different countries and versions, and I came across a question that I had imagined would have already been asked/answered but I can't find any.
which firmware version and country is the best ? For both and either speed, or battery, especially battery.
is the newest one the best for battery and speed or worse at one then any others ? And which countries is best?
Also, which ones do I steer clean of because they cannot root? I heard some of them cannot root and got scared.
?
Anyone?
From what I have read latest versions have best battery, but at cost of performance. As for country just flash your own countrys builds
Sent from my LG-P880
Ok thanks. And the phone isn't supported for my country lol. Anyways, which is best for proformance ?

dont think this is true .
im running dutch (NLD) V10h and im getting more battery time then most people here.
i get 4 hours 15 minutes actual use time (so excluding standby time) so with screen on doing something with atleast 1 hours browsing and 1 hour video.
and i have a antutu score of 11500 which is about as high as ive seen it.
the problem with may people benching this is that they do it after not rebooting the phone for days or even weeks or having a ton of apps open.
that is not how you benchmark you benchmark with all other apps closed after a fresh boot thats how you get optimal scores.
so V10H is just perfect for me with only 1 partial wakelock issue that sometimes uses 1/2% battery and cant be explained or found but thats no biggy.
so i dont think theres theres a reason not to update to v10h theres no nedative effect.
(as a note i completely updated OTA not trough flashing a .kdz)

Benchmarks dont reflect actual performance, the few games that do lag on this phone lag a lot more on 10h due to overheating protection

Best actual ROM for battery life?

Could anyone point me which would be the best ROM for battery life at the moment?
I've been using the stock one, but not getting satisfactory battery even with greenify + amplify.
Thanks
I think the best roms are Lineage os and mokee. Actually I'm using the last mokee ROM available 7.1.1 (i update it once for mount) and i think mokee have a good battery life. Lineage and mokee for me are equal in terms of battery life.
For me stock debloated is the best rom for battery life.

Do you have google now & google now launcher installed?
When I deleted them, it was like having a new phone, the standby drain is literally zero.

Yea I actually did it, I was using CyanogenMod's launcher and had google app freezed.
Anyway, as the MX2014 has a little battery itself, and considering my phone has more than a year, I guess the awful battery is normal I just hate having to charge it 2 times a day (I don't play games, leave 3G/4G/Location/Bluetooth disabled, just turn on when needed...)
What I noticed is that the screen consumes much more battery than recent models like the Moto Z Play. Lets take an exemple: 4 hours SOT on the MX2014 leads to about 800 mAh of battery, while the same time on MZ maybe uses 300 or 400 mAh. Thats a HUGE difference.
Stock. 2 days of usage. Not rooted, but some apps are switched off.
I test alot roms but resurrection final 6.0.1 is the best for battery.
About 6 hr SOT is excelent for me.
I use stock motorola camera and gallery and swift dark theme with material black.
The rom works perfectly except touch sound was delay.
I desable the touch sound and everything is excelent.
For more info which rom version and link....write.....
If you see at photos starts count from 90% because i done a reboot.until reboot had 30 min of SOT and after reboot starts from the begining.
So 0.30+5.12+14%=about 6-7 hours SOT ...PERFECT.

I have disable google app.
I have theming with swift darrk and material black soma apps.
If you use viber disable in general settings wifi policy.
Nothing else my friend.
Now i have 1 day of use 2.05 hours SOT and 72% battery.
I use motorola camera stock app and motorola gallery app.
Touct sound is a litle delay so if you make you nervous disable the touch sound.
My battery is new because i buy it before a mounth.if yours is old i dont know you have that SOT.
This rom is the best rom i use ever phone i have.
Before i had a lg g4 and the bigger SOT was 4 hours with 3000 mah battery.
With 2300 mah of moto x and that SOT 6-7 hous is briliand excelent .
Thats all.

Something wrong with you. Reinstall may help you. I got 6 hours approx. with Eu 10 stable.
its so early to Miui 10 for me. I get 8 hours everyday with 9.6.7 Global Stable.
Maybe I got a broken battery..
In my case . I can get like 14 hour or more SOT . With battery saving obviously . Use chrome youtube whatsapp and instagram . Some game too . But not too much .

Xiaomi EU 8.8.30 .
I just tested Mi 8 miui 10 10.0.5.0 vs Oneplus 5 8.1, same game, same britghness, only wireless and the game Pokemon GO, 100% to 0%
Mi8 using dual GPS of course and Oneplus with normal GPS.
Oneplus 5 with 1.4 years of use vs Brand New Mi 8 got it 1 week ago.
Oneplus 5 - 4hrs
Mi 8 - 4:15hrs
For a smartphone new against one with more than 1 year of intense use, the battery of Oneplus 5 is holding like new
I just played pokemon go without stopping, i stopped every other app in background on Mi8 and Oneplus 5.
Hope xiaomi release an update to fix the battery drain!

Hi, maybe I've youre same problem. After upgrading to miui 10 my battery drains so fast. And also we cannot go back because to the anti rollback protection. I'm furious. Today I'll do a factory reset and I hope it will be useful. This anti rollback is a f###ing joke

Heat fix or anything for redmi 4x?

I live in hot city in india. I have been experiencing alot of heat lately in back where CPU is located. It's always 40c battery as well as CPU both stays on 40c. Please let me know if there is some tweak to reduce heat. I dont do much gaming. I use it for chatting and watching videos mostly surfing YT or surfing internet. it makes me paranoid whenever it gets heat up i m always forced to keep it aside till it gets cool down. I am requesting to any developers here to make a tweak or make a kernel for users like me as it will be soo helpful for many people who dont like to feel heat while surfing on net. Please do look into it.
Also do tell me if there is a good rom. I dont care about latest android version or latest security patch all i want is i should be able to chat or surf without feeling that heat in my hand because it just ruins everything for me.
I am using official LOS 15.1 and am satisfied with it from a heat perspective.
The only time I maybe encounter unusual heating is when the NSA is hacking my phone to spy on me. *joke* What I then usually do is just to shut down my phone and leave it off for a couple of minutes.
You should look to update your firmware to the latest available Global version.
It is otherwise a good idea to reinstall your phone. You never know if you picked up some malware through dodgy apps that is causing the problem or if some apps are just rubbish.
I Use Xiaomi EU
No issues of heating except if you Play games.

Use kernel adiutor to tweak settings. Or use a custom thermal mod
Hey. Peeps! Thanks for kind response. I read all your suggestions! I m using Lineage OS latest official build. I dont do gaming its battery efficient also it has quick charge support, on ampere app readings says 1800ma. I m thinking of using MIUI now, i have used EU rom and trust me Lineage OS is better in terms of battery backup. Crdroid, umm, thanks @mcjohn, i will try this.

It's an unstable ROM.

I actually tried it.. Not bad , not good. Lineage OS is the best currently. I m thinking of trying out pixel experience rom, i have seen people claiming it has good battery backup.
Btw, dont ever use miui official rom. It sucks the battery so quickly. -_- I m currently on stable miui global rom and trust me it has worst battery backup.

I installed several ROMs.
Everywhere, I posted my opinion on settings or battery!
"Somebody" criticized me because I was too subjective !
Try some software, then stop at the one you like.

I used the MIUI ROM when I bought the phone until I unlocked the boot charger. . . Then I install another ROM every month.
Or, maybe 2-3 ROMs per week !
Look at my pictures and see how the battery is consumed, how the phone heats up, or the settings that are missing from the menu.
