Horrible battery life

I have read awesome stuff about this device's battery life and SOT, but I barely get 3.5 to 4 hours of SOT. Does anyone have a possible solution? This is ironic considering my previous crappy lenovo phone would give me 6-7 hours of SOT. Any battery saving kernel or ROM would also be appreciated, as I have unlocked bootloader and am running stock oos (latest open beta) rooted with magisk. Please advice, as if this is a hardware problem then I will return it ASAP.

Unfortunately, this thread has been made many times. No matter how specific your case is you have to analyze your usage.
But, if you need you can make yourself a quick checklist.
Whats apps are installed?
What do you do with your phone?
How many things do you sync?
How often do you game?
Do you have social media apps installed? Instagram, facebook, snapchat etc
What browser do you use?
And where did you read 7 hours SoT?
The reason being for people posting that they get 7-8 hours SoT is because those people use their phone all the time. If you look at their screenshots their idle time is non existent. With my phone that i've done a custom debloating and removed system apps that are worthless battery hogs, I get about 5 hours SoT. I leave my phone idle a lot. Idle still drains battery. If you use your phone on and off through the day, 5 hours SoT is really good. Thats what you should expect. If you get 3-4 hours SoT with normal usage patterns then you have an issue. Id say for every hour of idle time expect to lose perhaps 5 minutes of SoT. Your phone is technically a computer, its doing things constantly so it is never truly idle.

Go OOS 3.5.4. Greenify all apps Plus Play services, have xposed and install amplify to control wakelocks. Use L Speed, Keep data/wifi on only when using.

Why are you guys so obsessed with SoT? I usually get 4-5 hours with one day and half usage and at least 2 hours of Bluetooth + Spotify. As previously stated, the battery life varies on usage. Just take a look on possible wake locks if battery stats are weird. Stop focus on trying to beat the SoT world record and actually start to enjoy your phone as the beast it is

Just use Betterbatterystats and u will find the culprit.

3.5 hours is below average so there is some app which is draining your battery but around 4.5 hours / 5.5 hours sot is normal and average battery life, if you see those people which post pics with over 8 hours of sot they are lying and are faking the results, trust me so dont bother with it..
Install betterybatterystats and see which app is draining ur battery and unistall it or use greenify on it

Light use endurance

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Lenovo P2's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

If you are a light user you will be getting more than 2 days battery life ✌

Just passed 10 hours of SOT with 34% left in the tank, from 1 day and 6 hours of usage. This phone made you forget when was the last time you charged it.

This phone just leaves other in the dust - when we consider battery life

Don't know what you expect with this question as there is a fine SOT thread for the phone. You get about 10-15 hours screen on time. You have to charge it around ones a week if you use the P2 one hour per day if you switch off messengers, google services, wifi, gps, bluetooth, data and set your screen to very dark auto mode the rest of the time . If you don't use it all you may have to charge it ones a month. I would call myself a light user so I attached the SOT of my current week. As you see with 70% of the energy of the battery I got 9 hours of SOT within one week.

I'm a really light user it seems. I get over a week of use out of one charge on the standard OS. My last phone only gave me 2 days using a light custom rom.

With 1-2 hours spotify per day and aprox 1-2 hours screen on time per day aaaaand 40-100 push messages (fb,whatsapp,discord,skype,messenger and and and) and some gaming 30 to 60 minutes per day, 2 sims active (lte & 3g) + bt (always connected to mii band 2) + nfc my battery lasts at least 3 days! Stock rom, android 7. No services deactivated. This phone is so frkn awesome ^^ have it since one year, going through the upgrade process (a6 to 7), never did a reset. Great device. First phone i'm using for more than 1 year haha

Think twice before upgrading....

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 Redmi 5 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

7.45 to 8 hours SOT (Always LTE , Moderate Brightness , Full Volume , Mostly YouTube Streaming , Browsing )

10.00 hours SOT (moderate usage, removed bloatware, low-medium brightness), amazingly good battery life!

About 8 hours of SOT
P.S. How can one debloat Rosy 5?

You can use apps like Lucky Patcher if you're rooted. If not, you can follow this tutorial - https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
I personally debloated my Redmi 5 with the tutorial, because I don't have root currently.

7-8 hours, about 4 of them are gaming, some anime watching and a bit of youtube and chrome

I have 2gb/16gb verient.
Lets start with charging-
redmi takes 2 hours from 0 to 100%. First 90% charged in 90 minutes.
Battery Backup- I got around 12:30 hours of Screen on time.
Usage- Browsing (Kiwi browser in night mode) and youtube most of the time. rest music and tried a game for 30 min (Honkai Impact 3rd) as game was lagging so i uninstalled it. Sync was on for 3-4 hours and location services was turned off.
Brightness- 40-50%
Data Usage- 70% wifi and 30% 4G/3G
Note- Those charging curves in the graph are from the pc as i was transfering some files and second time i was debloating the device. No Battery saving mode, No change for animations.

From what I've gathered; the SOT of this phone is great but...
What about stand-by time?
Can anyone tell me how much battery percentage the phone looses at night (~8 Hours)?
To me, anything beyond ~5% with 3G cellular data turned on (4G is overrated!) is unacceptable.

Without sync, wi-fi and cellular data, it drains 1% per 10 hours for me. With sync and cellular data/wi-fi, it would drain 3-4% per 10 hours.

Thanks!

Redmi 5 plus
more than two days wigh GPS

battery or software problem??

I am software version shown in ss
I just bought the phone and only getting sot 30 mins for 10% of battery consumption i got like 4 and half hour of sot for 73% battery consumption i thought x2 pro have around 8 hr sot help me it's frustrating

Well that calculates to more than 6h SOT, which isn't that unrealistic if you used 4g and max screen brightness all the time, but there might be something draining the battery. Check the usage details. I see you use something connected to bluetooth so that might be causing the issue.

Bro i was using the brightness at 27% and nothing was connected to the Bluetooth

I installed betterbatterystats (bbs) xda edition and gsam battery app with adb rights. So you can see the deep sleep with bbs and the times of dot/phone time/ect and which app use how many ampere.
In this charging time I get 4,5 hours dot with 40 hours phone is on. I have now 34%.
Debloating, netguard firewall, no energy saving, always 90 hz.

Also i am having fps dropping issue during online gaming like pubgm or codm
What should i do to get normal 60 fps as this phone has 855+ so i can get 60 fps normally

I'm having even worse SOT and I have the same realme ui version.
I'm not as much hardcore user as a lot of you and looking at 4k mah battery I thought that I will be getting at least 7h SOT.
I'm not playing any games, right now most of the time phone is connected to wifi. What should I do? Debloat my phone? Is it somehow dangerous for my software? Can i ever go back to normal version?

location services destroyes battery on this device
i disable it for one day just to see the difference and it went from 4 hours SOT to 6 hours plus
always talking full brightness wifi some 4g 90hz
and from 100% to 1%

You have like almost 30 hours of standby, and if you use always on display, then that's at least 30% on that. If you consider this then it doesn't look that bad. You do the math. The other guy's stats concern me more.

You will need to make some adjustments, battery can be excellent but you have to be realistic,
Check out App quick freeze and freeze the apps you don't use.
Dark mode,
AOD off,Screen light effects off,
You just got the phone,tinker with it a while to see,
Also battery will drain a lot when your setting up the first day

General Screen on Time (SOT) - Note 10 Pro Max

I am at over 9 hours SOT with more than 10% battery intact yet.
Mostly run at 60Hz, a fair trade off for that kinda SOT.

Mine was similar 9 hours and a half , but with 120hz
Wifi, data, bluetooth on, auto lighting, and was only consuming social media and youtube that day

That is incredibly good. I haven't gotten that kinda SOT with 120hz y let. My phone's continuously connected with a smartwatch as well. But even at 60Hz, the trade off is fair enough.

Can't say it's farily good...theoretically it should give more than 10 hrs at 60 Hz.

It all depends on the use, and the time you use it, for example, if you use it nonstop with social media with a 100% cycle charge, I think with 60hz it would last 10 hours minimum, but if you use it, let's say, 3 screen hours a day, your battery will be over in day two with 6 SOT, becasue the standby drains aswell

I agree, but at the end what matters is reasonably good SOT overall and no idle battery drain. If these two are ok, everyone will be happy.

I just got 5-6 hours SOT, i dont know what cause it. Maybe you can share tips how to get long SOT on redmi note 10 pro? Thanks before

BB belongs to personal use.
I i am more kinda light user and i have about 3 hrs SOT but 3 one charge is enought for me to run the phone for 3 days

Idle Battery Drain: 1-6% for 7hrs night (observed only once)
(Sorry the SS is dull and dim because I had enabled the option "Adjust text and background automatically" in Display settings, turning OFF later fixed SS)

This phone is dha bomb! Crosses 9hr SOT easy with 120Hz on with 5-7% still left.
P.S: AOD turned off, don't like that feature until LTPO displays are the norm anyways.

Hi everyone.
7h 30m on 120hz
2+ days of comfy, normal use, with high brightness, etc.
(Pixel Experience, will test on 60hz next)

I get a max of 3 hours sot with 120hz and a 80% of battery in the morning. After 2 hours and 45 minutes of screen i have 20% left

8h 45m
120 mHz, light theme, mostly high brightness. Pixel Exp.

It'll depend on your usage, apps Installed, apps that are meant to run in the background like type machine, tasker , filterbox and so on.., they are very useful apps

I'm getting that 9 hours on 120hz, with a few tweaks

Which tweaks?

I use tasker to UNDERCLOCK the CPU cores, but yet still keep it at 120hz, it's still smooth, and Greenify to hibernate unused background apps tasker and Greenify work very well together
