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
Hi all, i got this phone for my girlfriend, expecting awesome battery life...but it turned out is less then awesome...a day and a half with light usage...draining around 10-15% overnight. i can't post screenshots but the battery utilization says that around 30% battery usage is made by system. It is the global version running MIUI 8 Global stable 8.2.9.0 if i remember correctly...any hint on how to get better battery life?
I am getting great battery life with this phone. I am on latest Global 8.2.12.0 version.
As I type this on my redmi 4, battery stats shows 5+ hours of screen on time and its been 1 day 9 hours since full charge and still 45% battery left

use Security App in MIUI
Try Formatting the device... or If you're on Official MIUI ROM try security option.. clean junk, stop background apps etc. etc.
Try reboot your device after full charge. I think it cannot go into deepsleep after charging. It is a error wich also happens in redmi 3s. But when you Start your phone again after charging it might be better.
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 Mi Note 3 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
10hours with moderate use!
6 hours with heavy usage
8-9 Hours (Fb, whatsapp, youtube, xda, browser, no games)
4.5 - 7 hours over 1 - 1.5 days, mid-heavy to heavy use. Sorry, I'm kinda addicted.
I'm only getting 5 hours when my phone gets to 20%, so probably about 5.5 hours. I'm running xiaomi.eu with MIUI optimisation disabled in developer settings. I used to get up to 8 hours with my Mi6, so it's a little disappointing.
10hours With 4G And Watch Video And Use Telegram, Instagram, Hike, Browser And...
12Hours With WIFI And Same Things...

i would say something is not right either with that rom version or your actual battery... i get 5h SoT with 50% battery, wifi on, 2 sim active, auto brightness, moderate use (maybe 20-30 min daily gaming)...
2 days and 8 hours,not best but good. multirom stable 9.5
Getting 7-8 hours SoT with Mi Band always connected and app opened. Latest EU Stable
Great
Thats impressive!??
Ups,
Please delete this post.
Opps.. sorry brother.. my bad!?
My battery life on Miui Eu, 3~4 days, 4~5 hours SOT, 3% by night. Always similar.
https://youtu.be/Gz6oIqIw3N0
https://youtu.be/elA0nDuPuzc
I use old charger 0.7V, connected all night.
I'm using xiaomi.eu 12.0.5 QFACXNM and the battery drain is brutal: 11% battery drain at night in 9 hours without touching the phone. No airplane mode, but wifi and data off.
I restricted almost all apps at background and problem is not solved. I'm doing 3h SOT or even less at day.
So... what's the rom with the BEST battery and the best SOT? I don't mind the other features, if it's AOSP I appreciate if I can install ANX camera and GCAM (both).
Thanks.

I had very good battery results with PixelExperience - around total 40h with 3h screen on time (yeah not heavy usage). Right now I'm trying PA Q5

3h SOT is not a good result, don't you think? I was expecting something like 5h or 6h of SOT with a normal use... I know with 3300mah battery it's complicated but I don't use my phone with heavy apps, I don't play, only use instagram, photos, twitter, whatsapp/telegram and stuff like that...
I recommend PA.

for a 40h+ total with bluetooth location and wifi always on I'd say it's a very good result
I'll check both. I fully charged my phone this morning. 7 hours later, without any use (check my instagram and twitter couple of times and responding some whatsapps), it dropped 10% (to 90%).. At least six and a half hours were in deep sleep.
I think this isn't normal.
That also can be a signal for a dying battery as well. Approx. 1 % per hour in combined usage is a good average for AOSP ROMs. At moderate use, similar to your profile, the battery here last for four days with 4 h SoT. 8 h SoT over two days is possible but not what I reach often. Mi9 is running PAQ5.

I was thinking the same. At this hour, less than 12h after the last full charge, and with no use at all cause I'm currently working at home, so I use computer (like I said, watch a couple of times instagram, reply to a few whatsapps and check twitter a little) battery is at 80%, with 30 minutes of SOT. Something is wrong, and maybe you're right about battery.
I'll try PAQ5 and crdroid with quantic kernel... despite I like MIUI, but xiaomi.eu is an extreme battery-draining rom...
My Mi 9 is running several AOSP ROMs since more than one year. Since then I've simply no idea about Miui and its battery consumption. Tbh I'm not too much interested in battery life at all. I'm not an outdoor guy having access to a power plug only once in a while. I'm living in an area where power plugs are widely available. So running out of power is not a major threat to me.

I usually have a charger near, but it happened to me that, in a long session of photos, or in a heavy use outside my home or my work, battery dies more sooner than later... and that sucks.
For example, watching forums or instagram, it consume 1% each 5-7 min, and more of that, instagram and web loading are not so fluent as it should be, so... I'm gonna try aosp for a while.
Crdroid, Paranoid and Iodé OS seem the best choices, I'll give a try to the best battery-saver rom...
Changing ROM only might not solve your battery problem, if the problem lies elsewhere. I use the same ROM and I could get 4-6 hours SoT per charge, over a day of use or so. This is a 1 year old device so battery is no longer 100%. If yours is newer but you get worse result than mine, then it's something in your configuration, not the ROM.
Sure, in these cases I usually carry a power bank with me. Actually I can't recall when last time my phone totally went off power.
For the AOSP ROMs I can't tell about battery behaviour. Things like SafetyNet, banking app and G-Pay are so much more important to me that I never considered changing the ROM since PAQ5 does simply everything I need.
Cheers

this phone has some hardware issue with the battery, some chip is not properly registering/measuring. You have to "reset".
I have more than 8h screen on time 0~100, and I have the phone 15 months.

I got same problems with you and in my case. I found out that my mobile signal was not stable, then phone auto switch network try to find 4g -3g -2g and it happened couple of times. When I' back to my hometown, battery is only down 2%.

I was thinking the same, battery duration is ridiculous. Last night, 1% battery per- 5-6-7 mins using kiwi browser/instagram. And 10% battery out last night with wifi and data deactivated. Now I have 56% battery with very few use of the phone. Charged it 24h ago.

I don't have a powerbank, I think I should buy one... Like I said, I still have problems with Internet, instagram stories and some webpages load slowly even with WIFI, so maybe it's a ROM problem...

I live in a great city and and I haven't gotten out of it since the pandemic started, so I don't think that's the problem...
I have miui 11 .eu rom, I have a post explaining how to get 8:30h sot
Your problem is xiaomi crap that are draining your battery and making the phone not measure it correctly.
Xiaomi programmed obsolescence on battery
H, since I updated from miui 10 to miui 11 and even now that I have miui 12 I have noticed that the battery doesn't last as long as before. I state that since I purchased the phone (July 2019) I have always charged the battery in the best way...

Hello im using miui 11.0.6 with a new battery and i get 4:14 on SoT, what version of miui do you use?
I on my xiaomi mi9 I installed the battery increased by 4000mha, I changed the kernel values with a file manager by making the phone read the same battery capacity and I do six hours of display on! To do this you must have root permissions and buy 4000mha battery ...
the path to take with franco kernel manager is:
/sys/class/power_supply/bms/charge_full"
/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_ful
Through a file manager, that is the path to follow to edit the file
I recently bought a used vivo x70 pro plus (buy on november 2021) , I followed the various guides here on the forum disabling the vivo.pem and other Chinese services via ADB
But I have a dramatic screen off battery drain of about 4% hours and only 3.5h of SOT
Also through accubattery I saw that the battery capacity is not 4500mah but 3.400mah, a health of 76% ... is this a reliable estimate?
Here are the screens
Have you solved? I have the same problem with my Iqoo 8 pro, i only deactivated vivo.pem, are there other services to deactivate?

I not solverd , my battery life is at 92,5% , check it from command ADB with PC
accubattery pro is good for this phone , show me under 80% of battery life , not work at all
the snapdragon 888+ is very power hungry and often has abnormal consumption with the screen off, with the screen on the consumption is always stable
I deactivated all the Chinese services that I didn't need and other stuff, I forced various apps to run in the background (facebook, instagram, whatsapp, etc.) to have reliable and working notifications, so maybe this too contributes to the higher consumption on the screen off (although as mentioned it varies a lot, sometimes it consumes 3-4% per hour, sometimes 8-9% per hour)
When this happens, I close all apps and it re-establishes itself.

Try Capacity info app, it's more accurate and reliable. My phone has 8.3% battery wear after one year of usage.
