MI 8 Battery life Pie - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hello guys when I used MIUI 10.0.3 I was getting 9 to 10 hours sot but now I´m getting 7 to 8 hours, anyone experience the same?

I am still testing the update. For now, yup I could say 10.1.1.0 consuming more battery compared to 10.0.3. Will post screenshots in the battery thread, when I it get down to 2%.

My prints in 10.1.1

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

Best battery performance Rom (2 year usage)

Hi, I use mi 5 nearly 2 year. I'm heavy user first 6 month but now i use my phone for basic things. 9gag, Instagram, WhatsApp etc. not gaming. And I have max 1,5 hour screen on time. I need some tip. Want to down clock my cpu or battery performance Rom. Any advice?
Hi man,
here's my suggestion based on several configurations and tests with both AOSP and MIUI roms:

I had a similar problem, replace your battery. I bought a NOHON battery on Aliexpress and have had no problems for 2-3 months now. It regularly gets 4-4.5hrs SoT on JDC Nougat Revived.

Question Mediocre Battery life / Screen on Time with Miui 12.0.17

Hi,
I got my MI 11 last Friday (6 days now) / and am getting about 6,5-7 SOT with 60Hz, Dark Mode, FHD+ and 0 gaming.
I primarily use it for Spotify, Twitter, Chrome Browser, Reddit, Facebook etc. so nothing too demanding. Nothing is significantly high in the battery stats too.
This is way worse than on my Mate 20 Pro which I had before.
Is the experience with 12.5 better? What are your opinions/experiences? I am honestly thinking about selling it and getting back to the Mate 20 Pro :/
Thanks guys, have a good day!
Good for me in 120hz. Its worse than poco f2 pro, but crazy fast recharge
Similar experiece with last Xiaomi.eu

Yes, about 5:30 screen time...
xiaomi.eu is always with worse battery life than stock. That's because a lot of MIUI strict battery control policies are disabled by default because users find it hard to configure them properly per-app.
With xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11_21.2.3_v12-11 my Mi 11 battery life is better compared with CN official version.
Today mine got half day which is disappointing , with not much use ... MIUI 12.0.22. Chinese

MIUI 11-12 Battery Drain Problem (MIUI 10.3.3.0 Downgrade Solves) What's the best ROM for extended battery life?

Hi, I was looking for best lightweight ROM for my Mi 9T Pro Global device. Currently I'm on MIUI 12.5.2 and battery life is really bad. I'm getting 7 hours SoT. Sytem UI and Others suck the battery out.
(Some screenshots are in Turkish language because that's my native language and I forgot to change language when I took screenshot. But you can still understand the values I think. Sorry.)

But I am sure this device was getting 12-15 hours daily usage in 2019 with MIUI 10.0.3 (Android 9). To prove this, I formatted data from OrangeFox Recovery and installed V10.3.3.0.PFKMIXM. And my battery life became awesome as it is before! Here's the battery status. The device looks like in the first day.
Android system uses %10,5!!! It was +%35 when I was using MIUI 11-12. I only charged the phone 1 time in a day. It was 3 times a day when I use MIUI 11 and 12.
If you guys want your old long battery performance, just downgrade your ROM to MIUI 10.3.3.0.
It was fine but there was two problem for me. First one, Android 12 came out and I don't want to stay outdated. Second one, I loved the new MIUI 11-12 interface, animations and overall feel. The downgrading version is not feel right for just battery...
So, my question, is there any lightweight & (really) stable Android 11 or 12 version ROM for Mi 9T Pro? Battery life is really important for me, please specify the SoT value when you recommend a ROM. I think our phone has great hardware but thanks to MIUI(!) it's lacking the performance.
Thanks in advance!

Why don't you try some custom roms you will get good enough battery life and performance as well

Because that's not what his question is.
Not all custom ROMs are great. Not all kernels are good. In fact, I tested like 3 custom ROMs over the past week on my old Poco F1 and 2 of the ROMs sucked (in terms of battery life). Why waste a week of testing, when you can get stats and recommendations from others first?
Some people have jobs and families to support and other things to do. Ain't nobody got time to spend 2~3 days testing custom ROMs to make comparisons. It takes time to get a ROM installed, install apps (doesn't matter if you use Titanium Backup or not), all of these processes take time. Not to mention that you might find unknown bugs in certain ROMs.
Anyway, I too would like to know this. I bought my K20 Pro (China version) when it first came out. Updated it to MIUI 12 and battery life went to ****. Downgraded back to MIUI Android 9 and it's fine. But these days, I'm getting about 1% drain every 3~4 minutes. I used to get 1% drain every 8~9 minutes. I feel like it's time to install a custom ROM now.
I've looked at Pixel Experience (which is what I'm currently using on my Poco F1) and there are some bugs that others have reported, as well as a lot of reports of bad battery life. I can't find any ROMs that seem to focus on battery life.
Only ROM that I found that seems to have an unanimous opinion of good battery life is HavocOS, but it hasn't been updated since January 2021.
[ROM][11.0] Havoc-OS 4.1 [OFFICIAL] [30-01-2021]
Havoc-OS 3.x is based on AOSP, inspired by Google Pixel. Has a refined Material Design 2 UI crafted by @SKULSHADY. Many useful features that will blow your mind. All you can dream of and all you'll ever need. Just flash and enjoy... General...
forum.xda-developers.com
In fact, I found plenty of ROMs that have been abandoned or haven't been updated for some time. Most are not even from senior developers. I'm not looking to waste time installing ROMs that don't actually have an actual developer behind it.

So why use XDA then.
Also, isn't HavocOS 4.10 the same as the link I posted previously? Or is the one I posted previously 4.01?
And your answer is still not relevant to the question that was asked in OP. You can give suggestions for 10 different custom ROMs and not all of them are good. Nobody has time to go through each of them and test one by one. And nobody has time to check Telegram and other apps or platforms. I've got Discord, Whatsapp, Line, Facebook, Twitter and it's enough as it is.

well then nobody can help you bcoz unless u try something u won't know about it just stick to stock rom maybe downgrade to older version if u feel that performs better bcoz none of us can do anything about miui update and the way it is bogging the whole phone down.Currently any custom rom that uses A11 firmware is not that good in battery life thanks to xiaomi's broken firmware.

Not true. I have multiple Xiaomi devices between me and my wife. We have:
Poco F1 (was on stock MIUI 12 and battery life sucked. Switched to Pixel Experience Android 11 and battery life improved by a lot. I'm talking about 8~9% idle battery drain per 10hrs, down to 0~1% idle battery drain per 10hrs).
Xiaomi Mipad 4 - stock ROM was fine, now on Android 11 custom ROM (can't remember the name of it) and it's about 3% idle battery drain per 10hrs.
Redmi Note 9T 5G - stock MIUI 12.5 rom. I get about 1% idle battery drain per 10 hrs and about 1% battery drain per 10 minutes of SOT. Best record I got was 4.5hrs of SOT with only 15% of battery drain, which is amazing. Again, stock MIUI 12.5 Android 11 ROM.
Poco X3 NFC - almost same as above, except it's about 1% of battery drain per 6~7 minutes of SOT. Stock A11 MIUI 12 ROM as well.
All you had to do was share the SOT for the custom ROMs and make some recommendations. Instead, you come and tell people to check Telegram (this is XDA mate) and give answers that don't really help anyone. You do realize there's like 10+ different custom ROMs and not everyone has the time to waste to try out every one of them? I did that before when I was young and had free time. I ain't got the time for that now.
Again, a simple answer of "I used XYZ ROM with XYZ kernel and average SOT is X hours" would have been enough.

In that case all roms give atleast 6-6.30 sot values easily except a11 firmware based roms. All aosp roms are lightweight comapred to miui.
Hi everyone,
The problem with my phone was battery drain problem caused by Android's battery optimization feature, I found the problem, thanks to Tom...
Read this article: [MIUI with Tom #8] FIX battery Drain in MIUI - after OTA or after reset to factory settings!
Before:
After:
Here's the magic:
adb devices
adb shell "cmd package bg-dexopt-job"
a) Turn off autostart for all apps
b) Lower the background process limit from "Standard" to 3 in developer settings.
c) Turn off background work of cloud apps.
d) Delete bloatware applications (I'll explain in the next section).
e) Discharge your phone completely once, the device will turn off. Charge it to 100% without ever turning it on and turn on your device. This is called battery calibration.
f) Battery > App battery saver, restrict the background activities of the apps you rarely use.
g) Battery > Settings icon > Battery saver > scroll down to the bottom and turn on "Schedule time to switch between modes". Set your own time. It will automatically turn battery saver on and off.
h) Battery > Scheduled on/off > here set the on/off times according to your nighttime sleep and morning wake-up time. Your device will turn off when you sleep and turn on when you wake up.
i) Turn off the Always On Screen feature.

Question Battery drain and actual battery of Redmi Note 10 Pro/Max MIUI13 v13.0.3.0

Hi, I have purchased a new Redmi note 10 pro but the battery seems to be draining relatively fast. I am on MiUi 13.0.3.0 update. There are some screenshots attached of the battery page. Also I was able to find the Actual Battery Capacity: 4997 mah. Can anyone please confirm that this is normal or not?
What is the over night battery drain percentage? And how much screen on time do you get in one full charge (100%-0%).
I bought a new device 4 days back. I'm on the latest miui 13. I checked on accubattery and saw the actual capacity to be 4700 but that app has been notorious for incorrect measurements.
1. I'd like to know what app you are using to get the actual capacity
2. I can't say how much your drain is from the SS. I can tell my experience. Im getting around 7-8 SOT % with 120hz. Overnight drain is under 3-4% max. I have debloated the OS as well so that might help as well.

Over night battery dain is 2-3% at Max I have manually disabled apps from running in the background. As of the SOT I am getting around 7-8 hrs (100%-10%) 120HZ
The only things to do are debloat Miui 13
