Anyone noticing poor battery life with the Global ROM?

I've recently switched to the Global ROM and I seem to be getting significantly lower SOTs compared to EU ROM. I usually get close to 5 hours SOT with 40% charge, an average of 11hrs SOT if I fully utilize the phone. But I never do deep discharges which are harmful for the battery and occasionally top up my phone's charge which is more friendly for lithium based batteries. So I don't think this is battery wear in just 3 months of owning the device.
Unfortunately, I am unable to track what app is causing the drain as my device doesn't seem to remain awake that often. I suspect this is something with the ROM or a rogue app which draws more power when the screen is on.
Anybody experiencing lower battery runtimes with the Global ROM?

Are you saying you get 11 hours total SOT on the Global ROM or the EU ROM? If that figure is from the Global ROM, thats all you can expect, and its also very good. If that is from the EU rom, what are you getting on the Global ROM?

I used to get around 11hours SOT on the EU ROM. But I only get around 7+ hours on the Global ROM.
Like I mentioned earlier,I never do deep discharges of the battery. I usually charge at around 30% and upto 80 or 90% and I used to get excellent battery life on the EU ROM.
On EU, by the time the phone discharges from 90 to about 50%, I would have close to 4.5-5hrs SOT but now I only get around half this.

Want to post a screenshot of your battery pages? Whats highest on the discharge? If you don't have root, I would start by at least getting bettery battery stats to see if your phone is deep sleeping or awake.

What SOT you get?

What SOT you get?
i will soon get the phone from aliexpress i report the times

Enough to not even care about battery usage at all.

Agree. I seem to get over two days of battery, almost three. Somewhere around 9-10h SOT.

I have 2-2,5 days and 9-12 h SOT

Didnt really check. But i can say that it was 10+ for sure.
Edit: okay so i full charged my phone. I still have 46% battery left and SOT already crossed 10 hrs.

Brightness at 50% and wifi in flight mode i get 12-19 sot, bightness at 100% and mobile data (3g) i get 6-8 sot with vpn

Battery drain after october update

I don't use fingerprint sensor. No smartlock too. But randomly my a2's processor stuck in maximum frequency! It drains battery on idle. Anyone else having this bug?

Yea i have this problem too..

Confirmed here. Battery is draining really fast after update

I've reported to xiaomi. anyone else who see this thread please report to xiaomi

holy sh*t, again?!
Since the august patch I've decided not to update my phone anymore, seems like a good idea now... I'll just wait for android P release.
Q&A in Xiaomi is really bad it seems...

Mine is really normal here, both days after updates. My usage was quite light but the stand by time was still great.
On mobile data most of the time and location always at high accuracy. Stock, no root.

Sorry to say but your wrong
See yours Screen on Time is just 1h...
While losing 39% battery
Mi is insen
Better battery backup will be
10% charging drop and Screen on time 45m/1h
They just defaming android One phones
To move there customers to MIUI

I know that sot was only below 2h but considering remove the phone from charger 19h ago and also streaming music on Spotify for 2-3 h, I think losing 39% of battery is reasonable. SoT is not the only indicator for good battery life imo.
I also got this rate before oct patch.

battery life

have been using Rog 3 about a month and noticed that the battery is not that great especially if we consider it is a 6000mha, at least in my device
thought i would share some screenshot to my battery and hear your opinions if you think it is OK or there is something wrong

What did you expect? Your battery life is pretty normal for a 6000mah battery device. Not piss poor. Not great. Just normal. Were you expecting 3 days standby time with normal usage?

I might see it wrongly but the first pic is showing the phone is up 1 day 9hrs without charging, that's more than what I would asked for.

That is with 1 hour of gaming, 5 hours of music, 3 hours of voice calls. Nearly 2 days without charging.

My device a tencent version converted and rooted at 60hz and the brightness at it lowest level and the phone heats up like hell and the battery life sucks , 3 hours of gaming feom 100 to 0% im on the oetest fw .58

Something is wrong with your set. Please get a refund from the seller. Even by playing PUBG or COD in X-Mode at max brightness does not drain from 100% to 0% in 3 hours.

i lose 2% from 100 to 98 direct after 5 or 10 minutes when the phone is fully charged without even using the phone at all
gonna try this app my the default battery app is not accurate

New phones have 5000-6000 mah with either Snapdragon 700 series or mediatech . This processor uses it pretty well giving 10-11 hours sot to me

Can't compare a 60hz screen with a phone giving 144hz screen. The drain of the screen will be much heavier than 60hz.
The 6000 mah battery is really good when you compare from specs point of view. Higher CPU clock speed, higher GPU clock and higher screen refresh rate and faster and more RAM. A Ferrari will use much more gas than a standard car even your Ferrari have a bigger gaz tank.
I can use this phone without ever think about getting out of juice before I get to sleep.
In the last 7 hours I used my phone for 4h20, playing game during 2 hours (COD and PUBG) and 50% of the battery remaining. So if I keep using the phone that way it means that I could run out of battery with about 8h SoT and 4 hours of gaming. I never had a phone allowing me to play that many hours of high quality games with all graphics to max.

Yes, I don't know a phone that gives you the perfect battery calibration. This phone show a loss of battery really fast in the first 10% then afterward it is slower.
I remember my Sony Z Ultra was really slow to lose the first 10% then battery was dropping really fast until reaching 20 25. And the remaining battery was longer to be used than the 60 previous %.
Or my HTC Sensation XE that could be used about half a day to drop from 5% to 0.

Question How is your batterylife?

I know it depends how you using it and so on. But generally?
I think mine is worse then pixel 4 xl. Have only charged it like 4 times but still. Using some Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, news , youtube.
Mostly wifi and feels like battery is dropping really fast.

I'm getting 7-8 hours SoT when battery hitting around 25-30% left. Here's my thread from my first findings.
Battery life?
So I'm coming from a 3 XL, and I even got the battery replaced April 2021, and I was getting about four hours SoT. My 7 in only two days is blowing my mind. Yesterday I had five hours SoT, and today after a full charge, It went from 100% to 99%...
forum.xda-developers.com

Today's usage.

its about the same as pixel 6 for me maybe a little less from daily usage...but smoother for sure and the phone is a little bit smaller which is always a plus

My battery sucks ATM. Only had like 3 full charges so might settle and getting better , hopefully

Another quick update. Haven't used the phone that much yesterday or today yet, and I'm happy with standby time. Over 34 hours off the charger with over 4 hours SoT, and still has over 40% battery.

LOL what do you want? 20 hours SoT? Maybe because I'm coming from a 3 XL with a 3430 battery that after 4 hours of SoT, and only being off the charger for 12 hours, not well over 30, my battery would be at 10%, not 40%, but to me this is freaking awesome battery life.

20 would be stellar.

Anyone getting battery drain with Spotify?
Was listening for 3h with bluetooth headphones and it said Spotify needed 23% which i feel is quite a lot.
3h display on used 5%

Mine is honestly making me regret buying the phone. Too late, sent my trade in yesterday.
I previously had the Pixel 5a and got around 9.5 hours of screen on time over 24 hours. I think most days I could go about 30 hours before running empty.
My P7 gets around 6 hours of screen time over about 18 hours.
So a battery that's 7% smaller is seeing battery life more than 30% worse.
I'm not very happy with the battery life as you can tell, and I just hope a software update can improve things.

Other than the battery life the phone is fantastic haha. It's not unmanageable, I do keep good high-watt chargers in most places like home, work, car, etc. But sometimes I go do something all day and I'm not near a charger. Guess I'll just get used to using battery saver mode in those situations.
I do enjoy the phone, but the battery giving me anxiety is not very fun.

Yeah. I guess. Working 10 hrs makes me nervous about battery life. Lol.

dont reference your SOT, reference it to your previous phone, everone usage SOT is different, one person maybe have 5 hours SOT but on the camera for 70% one person may have 10 hours but only use it for texting or internet.

What ways have you guys found to extend battery life during normal use? Without having to severely reduce the functionality of the phone, ie 5g or reducing screen brightness a ton. I feel like a modern phone a lot of the point is the screen and 5g so those I wouldn't want to sacrifice
Are there settings or other apps that can help? I'm fairly new to Android and so far I've been a bit disappointed with the battery life of the P7.

What kind of battery life are you getting? I only play around on mine (Instagram, Pinterest, SnapChat, and some Candy Crush games), and my main drain is Clash Royale, and I get around 7-8 hour SoT with 20% remaining. I switched 5G off, and only use LTE because 5G (at least in my area) is bad.

Man, y'all must've been spoiled with like 10+ hours of SOT with your old phones... I get around 6-8 with 30 hrs total which I think is pretty dang good. But like someone else said SOT will be much different from person to person based on device usage. I watched a 2hr downloaded movie from Netflix with airplane mode on and it only dropped 12%. And with adaptive charging, I just charge it all night which it will charge, slowly, till full until my alarm goes off.

Exactly. My experience is the opposite though. I came from a 3 XL, and by the time I switched from it to the 7 my battery capacity was down to around 2800. My 7 is like a God send for me. 7-8 hours SoT with the same use as my 3 XL, and I still have 30% left, when my 3 XL would be down to 2%. I couldn't be happier.

I came from the OnePlus9 and all around the OnePlus9 is a better device.
Google has a great UI experience, but these Tensor2 chips do not compete in performance or efficiency with the Snapdragon 888s or higher.
Theyre missing a lot of the refinement that Qualcomm has done with the hardware and it shows.
For those coming from a Pixel 3-5 series, yes this is a big upgrade, and many got great trade-in deals which is what made me give this phone a shot. It does not however live up to it's MSRP. Im hoping Google is able to refine things to greatly improve efficiency on these devices.
