How good is the battery life for you guys?

I know it's a large battery that's why I'm asking this question. My p9 plus drops from 100-95 relatively quickly just by using whatsapp and instagram. like less than an hour. Is that normal or is it just me?

Sorry but that is bad?
Which mobile are you coming from???

errr..? the huawei p9 plus? Cause some people say they could get more than a day out of this phone with normal usage but I can't seem to do that haha. I could if I keep the screen off like most of the time but definitely not normal usage.

A lot depends on the phone signal, if you move into areas where the signal is poor the phone is constantly looking to better that signal... Using more power. 5% an hour is pretty good by my reconning.. Will give you around 20 hours to zero.

I am coming from samsung A8. Comparing A8 the p9 plus is better in battery back up for me.

Mine is good too. Comparing with Xperia Z1 Compact is much much better. I have 5 to 6 hours of SOT and above average usage. With normal usage usualy I have close to 7 hours and 3 to 5% juice in it.

my battery life is amazing, best I've ever had on a phone, I would install wakelock detector and see whats eating your battery, I recently got over a 100 hrs between charges which is amazing, SOT was 7 hours 26 min, I do have greenify installed though which helps.

2 days and 1 hour here with 22℅ left and 5 hours SOT
This thing is just amazing

For me battery is perfect, mostly 2 days between charge and 6 hours SOT, no root pure stock for now all with normal usage.

Best battery I've ever had on any phone, even the ones with 4000mAh battery can't match this. This thing just rocks! After 3 full charging cycles I am stable on 2 days between charging with most of the time on wi-fi or 4g/3g and gps on when needed and my SOT is 8hrs up. Righ now I have 11%batt remaining and 8hrs 01min SOT.

What do you mean full charge cycle? And 2 days with 6 hours screen on time meaning your battery can last 2 days inclusive of the 6 hours SOT? cause for mine, I plugged it out at 9am and now it's already at 49%. Screen on time probably about 3-4 hours so far.

That is insane amount of screen on time. If this for was 2k screen I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. I have to wait for the P10 Plus

i think he means that he load the P9 Plus 3 time from 0 to 100%

Dropping from 100% to 95% after using Whatspp and Instagram for an hour is normal. My P9 Plus can last me more than 1 day with noramal browsing, emails, SMS and Whatsapp. It is way better than my LG V10.

First battery cycle and second cycle
WhatsApp all day
1 hour instagram
1 hour eyeem
2 hours lightning browser
Some photos
Easy 6+ hours SOT

The battery is not as good as I expected. I unplugged it at 6.45am and my usage are as follows:
WhatsApp
Facebook
Clash of Clans
Instagram
WeChat
and a little bit of browsing
My battery was 11% when I got home at 7pm. SOT was around 3 hours. Is this normal? I have to charge my phone everyday unlike what others has said.

everyone have different apps installed and we all use our device differently. Waste of time to compare each others battery life.
I have a lot of **** running in the background and i just charge when i need. Nothing i worry about, always a arm length from an electrical outlet. (home, work, school, train etc.)

Unfortunately all the apps u r running are power-intensive. I suppose if u keep running those apps from 6.45am until 7pm (which is more than 12 hours) and still left some juice on it, this should consider very good battery life already.

The P10 should be a serious contender when it comes out. I am torn between Samsung S8, Sony Zeus and the P10 Plus. I'm really interested to see what the P10 plus and Sony Zeus have to offer.

I just got phone two days now ,At second charge,very satisfied

What Screen On Time are you getting?

I am only getting around 3 hours and 15 minutes of screen on time. What are you getting? The reviews usually pointed towards 5 hours plus....

I didn't test it but you might clear the Google Play Services cache and reboot your P10.
EMUI seems to have some problems with this Service on some devices which can cause a huge battery draw. I can't relate it to my VTR-L09 but maybe this helps.

3h15m is really bad to be honest! how is the standby drain overnight?

i sleep for about 7 hours and im losing 5% overnight

I slept for 5hours+ and i lost 2-3%. my previous P9 lost about 1-2% after 6-7 hours. really miss the old days using xperia Z2. 8hours of nice sleep, and only 1-1.5% battery lost...haha

Whats wrong with mine? I'm loosing 2% battery per hour.

Some application is hungry.

Now I'm starting to hesitate buying the p10 or plus. I have the Z3 and I'm really spoiled by its battery performance.

No screen shot but I had 6hr 10m with approximately 15% charge remaining during the last charge. However none of that time was playing games or watching video.

In the last 2 weeks there are many reports of battery drain on p10 and mate 9. Battery drain started suddenly, with google account manager and play services eating battery like crazy. I uninstalled ALL apps and still it didn't help. I'll try factory reset and report back.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/help/battery-drain-google-account-manager-t3580744

Factory reset has no effect. Battery drains even without any updates and apps installed. Power saving mode has no effect either. Batery is draining steadily with 2-3% per hour.

To anyone interested: it's wifi that drains too much battery. Battery drains 2 or 3 times faster when wifi is enabled. In addition, when wifi enabled, phone is waking up from sleep all the time.

I'm getting around 4 hours to 5 hours OST Is that ok? Is my phone faulty?

Weird, I am getting pretty good SOT with my Mate 9, thankfully.
Last charge was 16 hours and 5 SOT and had 30% left.
Currently at 12 hours and 4 hours SOT and 45% left. Don't think it will be as good as last charge, but close.

Interesting. I currently have a Z5 which the battery life isn't the best - I won't get a full day out of it. And I'm debating between the Mate 9 or the P10. The Mate 9 does have a larger battery than the P10, but is there a noticeable difference in battery life on the Mate 9 over the P10?

Mine has only 2.5h SoT (((

My P10 has a SOT of about 5.5 hours, but I am a light user: no Facebook, heavy games or YouTube.

Stupid question alert....where do you find SoT in EMUI? I can't for thew life of me find it in the normal battery management.

I use the GSam Battery app for this, but there are more who can do the same.

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.

Unhappy with Mi 9 battery draining and SOT, thinking about changing for mate 20 ...

Hi all.
I have written a comment to another created threat in mi 9 forum, but I would like to read your comments here too.
I'm having battery draining and SOT problems with my mi 9, like I said in title (like most people I think).
I have tried everything to improve my battery life in my mi 9, and It's not bad at all, but I was expecting better performance for a top xiaomi smartphone with sd 855 and 5 months old in spite of the fact that it has "only" 3300mah battery ...
I'm not a heavy user and I try to get max SOT and minimum battery drain in all my phones, because I don't like changing smartphones very often and I like to take care of it.
I came from a Moto G4 plus, and I had 5h of SOT in 48h without high standby drainage (maybe 1-2% of drainage overnight in 7-9h) with a 3 years old battery and worst hardware and software. In mi 9, I'm getting 5-6h of SOT in 48-72h. Not bad at all, but standby drainage is awfull. It loses 20-25% of the battery every 48h (3-5% overnight), and in a smartphone with such a fair battery it's a problem. If I'm not getting great results with not heavy use and my smartphone is new, I don't want to think in 2-3 years + mid-heavy use ... I have tried everything (full wipes, reinstalling, the most powerfull battery saving, etc) and I don't have great result. Standby drainage is very hight compared to other phones (I have tried a friend poco f1 and I had 10h in 48-72h with 1% overnight drainage. It was awsome).
And now the question ...
I'm thinking of changing my mi 9 for a huawei mate 20... I still have the 30d Amazon refund and I am not comfortable with my phone's battery.
- Mate 20 pros vs mi 9: +700 mah battery and more efficient, the best ips panel without burn-in problem, and fingerprint sensor behind the screen (no like too much in-screen fingerprint at all).
- Pros mi 9 vs mate 20: sd 855 (but geekbech it's very very similar, and antutu winner is mi 9 only for gamming but mate 20 still on top), unlocking bootloader for mi 9 (better comunity in xda, but if emui works well I think I don't need custom rooms, the problem here is Trump/google vs China ... but now apeares to be solved and we would have newer updates to Android Q), wireless charging (I don't use it because smartphone is hotter when charging 3-5º vs cable+1,5a charger, It takes more time to charge with elevated temperature), not jack (better for waterproof), maybe very little better cameras in mi 9 and little better results, 4 months younger (very little difference) and It's the top phone on xiaomi (mate 20 is the little brother because we have mate 20 pro, 20x, p30, p30 pro and we will have soon mate 20 and mate 20 pro; and that could be worst because we will get latter uptdates in mate 20).
What do you think? Would you change mi 9 for mate 20? Reading your comments. Greetings.

If your looking for better battery life I'd say get the mate 20. I've had mine for just under 3 months. Best damn purchase I've ever made (purchased way below retail during trump ban). I consider myself a medium to heavy user (I don't play mobile games however). With some useless features turned off and some fetch services disabled. I can easily get 8-10 hrs on screen time with this phone, it's the best battery life I've ever had, prior I was getting 4hrs with another Android phone.

Heat? I haven't had any issues with heat if by that you mean does the phone get too hot to touch, it's cool the majority of the time. As for performance, EMUI 9.1 is very smooth and I haven't had any slow downs ??.

Just a month ago I had Poco F1. On the battery Sot was similar to the 20 mate. Night drainage in Poco 1-3%, mate 2-5%. Mate saves better on screen on. Performance similar to Poco. If I had to exchange Mi9, it was on mi9t Pro.

Question M11 battery cheap or software?

Hi folks.
Aight m11 battery is pretty horrible ngl.
I got my m11 with miui 12.5. 1st day I got it battery dropped to 40% within 5 hrs with 30 mins sot.
I was sad phone trash.
Next day was better but very buggy battery still drain not as bad was at 60% after 5 hrs 1hr screen time.
Next couple of weeks playing with it.. Trying to figure out better battery usage but why should I its a flag ship phone?
Battery was still very buggy sometimes drained 20% over night sometimes it was fine. Got miui 12.5 enhanced slight improvement.
I got all excited waiting for miui 13. 1st impression very good. But battery life sot averaging 4.5 hrs 100% to 5%. Idle time very good too.
But now I got oneplus 10 pro. Yes oneplus had extra 500mah but I get more battery out of it ngl. Whole phone is better and I use it the same.
So my question is it the cheap hardware xiaomi use like battery for not so OK sot.
Or is it the software? Because miui 13 hella improved battery life and is very stable compared to 12.5.
And the roms on here will they have noticeable better battery life? People should know the difference between miui and own roms sot. I'm tempted to try it

I have a few months old Mi 11 Ultra with miui 13 and I am experiencing the same problems...
I think it combination of bad battery and software.

The 20% drop at night is a sure indication that something is running in the background... that probably doesn't need to be.

Yes it was random sometimes did sometimes didn't. Yes but miui 13 fixed idle consumption.
My oneplus 10 pro 96% battery life 40 mins sot put it that way. And 80% is when the battery drains the least

Yes my brightness is at 30% inside now. But my battery still alot better. But I don't understand why some xiaomi phones have great battery life with same spec as other phones but not the Mi11?

Most Samsung phones need to be optimized for best battery life.
Xiaomi's likely has to be as well. You need to find the power hogs and deal with each on a case by case basis.
Using manual brightness control helps save your eyes and battery.

It's may well the firmware or factory loaded software. However it could be 3rd party apps misbehaving. Google apps tend to cause battery consumption troubles...
Android give you a lot of freedom to configure them the way you want. Cookie cutter Apples doesn't so it's easy for Apple to optimize their products. So with Androids the end user needs to pickup the slack many times and find work arounds or setting changes.

Yes but even if I use my phone straight off charge its still roughly 6hrs sot indoors (no sim) WiFi only 20% screen brightness. When I used it outdoors with sim 4.5 hrs if that . So I don't think non sleeping apps where doing it. I look on my battery usage and it says my apps used 3600 mah battery including screen with 25% battery left with 4.4hrs sot. So no mis behaving apps.
It might sound good but my screen brightness super low

You need to see how much each app and service are using, then figure out why. It takes some time and effort to track them down... a learning curve.
FB, WhatsApp, all social media apps should never be installed on the device. If you can't access them using browser login, forget them. They are nothing but trouble...

Yes bro I checked had enough of mi 11 no apps causing trouble checked for months.
Idle consumption very good lose 0% over night sometimes. I thought miui 13 would have substantial battery increase but only fixed idle consumption.
I thought maybe they would optimize battery usage better like Samsung 21 ultra.
My oneplus 10 pro is on 2hrs sot with 40% brightness and 84% battery life. Very good battery life no need to worry bout it dying when I'm out
Its not me thinks mi 11 battery trash too 90% reviews say to and GSMarea gives it a rating of 84hrs and the one Plus 10 pro 104hrs battery endurance
Now back to my original question is it xiaomi cost saving software optimization trash or battery hardware cheap?

You won't know until you work with it more trying to optimize it.
This Note 10+ was a hot running battery hog until it was optimized. It gets 7-8% @hr now when browsing with Brave. It took months to finally dial it in. Over a year to really get it right.
A lot of work. My second N10+ was a snap to optimize as I knew what to do.
One thing I do is not to upgrade firmware* or app updates as this can start another cycle of trying optimize the new firmware/apps. I'm running on Pie and Android 10, malware is not an issue.
*if I have a fast, stable OS... I let it be!

R u serious. What do u mean optimize? Putting apps to sleep isn't really optimizing.
Ur trying to improve battery when only really the developers can fix it.
Yes putting it in dark mode 60hz putting everything to sleep not running nothing fun having brightness on 0% will improve battery life but experience will be trash.
My oneplus Pro 10 is out the box restored all my data whatsapp 3 emails with sync on 4g nothing optimized. Screen brightness normal too (I want a good experience)
battery optimization or battery hardware is great. The layout skin in oneplus 10 pro its faultless too and looks alot better than xiaomi.
Other hand is xiaomi mi11 definitely a cheap battery or lazy developers to cut costs hence the price but one plus 10 pro is same price. But other xiaomi phones r very good battery life so I'm confused

Global power management never worked for me, disable it and deal with each power hog on a case by case basis. Limiting background data/battery usage in individual app settings doesn't invoke global power management.
Some apps like Brave browser need to be closed after use or they continue to run in the background. I disabled Google play Services unless needed. I use a package disabler to kill anything bloatware or other apps/services that cause trouble and aren't needed.
I never said it was easy... there's a steep learning curve.
Dependencies; disabling a parent app/service can have far reaching consequences, good or bad. Try to understand what you are disabling.
Acquire or use the already loaded the tools you need to help find the trouble makers... play with it.

Definitely ****ty software, battery backup is much better on AOSP-based ROMs.
