I ordered this device yesterday but I worried about battery life, in reviews spoken the battery life was bad.
I dont have the device yet.
In the future the battery life was improvement on system updates?

I have to say I find the battery life to be outstanding if you are using the chinese rom. If using the global one it is really poor. There is another thread on here about battery life. Have a look at that
How much SOT on chinese rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/discussion-xiami-mi-5-battery-life-t3338693
I look that but I Asks you.
Chinese rom was better than global on performance and camera?

In my opinion the chiense rom is much better although there are obviously some chinese apps there too
I'm reviewing the phone at the moment, my results on GeekBench 06:30:30 for runtime and a score of 3905 with the screen on maximum brightness. I've used the phone with dual-SIM and single-SIM and not struggled with it at all. MIUI 6.3.31 and it's the 64/3GB model. Hope that's of some help!
Battery life is usually good. SOT around 5 hrs for me and I usually play games.
However stand by is really odd one both the roms. Sometimes overnight it consumes 1%-3% sometime s 20%-25%, I still can't figure out why.
25% in night?? why?

Never seen that with mine. While at work during the day I only use it for the odd call and some texts along with a small amount of browsing. With the chinese rom I would have 85% charge left when I get home but with the global rom doing the same I would have about 65% left so clearly it wasnt going to sleep properly. Maybe thats what you are seeing

No, I haven't updated my signature from so long.
I have used nexus 5, galaxy s6(lost), lg g4 and oneplus 2 after Lg g2. For me galaxy s6 was the best device I have ever used.
Mi5 has a mediocre camera nothing exceptional about it xiaomi is creating hype about 4-axis and things however in reality it can't capture full hd video smoothly.
For sure Mi5 has better sound and battery and chipset but software wise I think any other phone out is better than this MIUI crap.
and believe me MIUI can never get fixed until and unless they changed their framework completely. As of now MIUI 7 is based on MM but it doesn't have a single feature of MM so what is the use of such OS. MIUI is for users who just want to keep applying themes and do nothing else.
I am never going to buy xiaomi again.
Hoping I get my hands on an AOSP or CM ROM soon or else I have to sell this ****.

I really don't know what is wrong but I experience the same on both the ROM's, yesterday I got 7.2.12 and after that it consumed only 3 % overnight even with alarm on.
Also, I have one more strange bug whenever I start playing coc my wifi gets disconnected and it gets disconnected randomly too, are you facing any such thing like this.
You have the wakelock qpnp_fg_memaccess that is draining battery. Check with wackelock detector..
Same happened to me one night from 40% to 6% in 6 hours..
This happened because Qualcomm introduced a new feature called Fuel Gauge that is managing the battery and is not working really like it should..
Strange.. I used my phone heavily(not gaming of course) and hardly to hit 70% in 8 hours during day time.

So what does one do about it? its my first day on mi5, i cant say that battery is bad.. its almost same as on a Sony Z5P.
My Mi5 is doing great on the battery... I use it at work i use it at home... during the night it drain around 5% max. Normally i can say it can last 1,5 days...
Using China Stable 7.3.3 With some battery usage tweaks..
Using CM13 I go all day without recharging from 7am to 7pm

Same here on CM 13 battery is good, lasting 2 days.

MI5 is one of the crazy device ever! Once you receive the phone you will be keep busy with experiment. Some people will tell battery life is outstanding and some like me will say battery life is poor.
My impression about MI5 is, usually after buying a phone we try to use it hassle free. But MI5 will create lots of confusion and make you trend to experiment lots of things until you get the perfection.
Currently the global ROM is most worst ever ROM and it will make you frustrated. Some people will tell China ROM is better but eventually until unless you are Chinese, you will never like chinese things!
Just now flashed CM13 and looks impressive!
The way you charge helps with endurance as well
Try getting into the habit of not letting your battery level drop below 15%. Charge it from there to 100%. Was a big item on xda some months ago about expanding the quality of a modern smartphones battery.
Although to a certain extent, we even came to doubt that Samsung would update the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 devices with the OneUI 2.1, it is finally here, and it cames with Deep Sleep Apps feature, which will allow to actually suspend all services and processes associated with an app.
This has resulted in a relatively big battery life improvement when the device is on standby with S10 and S20 devices in controlled tests1.
Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note 9 are devices released more than 2 years ago, and surely the battery stamina is not the same as they were in their first months of use. Samsung stats that the batteries used on these devices should keep a decent stamina for 2 years with the average user.
Some people have used their phones with battery care measures1, in order to extend battery life.
So, with the recent release of OneUI 2.1 for Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the battery life with the device in standby is expected to be longer (but not the screen on time), although the magnitude is yet to be determined in the coming days.
This thread is aimed to share our opinions on the subject, as the update becomes available and we can evaluate the battery life.

IOS uses a choise in his battery settings to charge the battery up to 80 % of it's capacity and then charging will stop to improve the battery's durability.
It's known that standing in battery's 20/80% capacity increases its life and durability and doing this you can charge how many times you want because one parzial charge will not be counted as an whole cycle of charge so the battery might last more than 3 years going on like this.
This choice is not implemented in Android even with one UI 2.1 and it's a shame even if the new feature will improve battery's autonomy due to the lower consumption of the apps and even if it's impossible to perfectly be able to stay in it's 20/80 percentage range, there's an app that I found that will avert you when reaching 80 % of its charging capacity so you can disconnect the cable to preserve the battery....

You're right and I keep charging between 30 and 80 but this shouldn't be how the phone charges by default as you said. Many people charge from 15 to 100 and want that extra 40-50% they'll get by doing so. I found that without fast charging it takes 1 hour from 30% to 80% so it's no big deal to look at the clock when you leave the phone on the charger.

Even your right, there are even people that continually from 0%(completely dead) goes to 100% after charging the battery for the whole night... that's why what I said for charging should be a choise (like in IOS) and not a default setting.... strange thing that Android or Samsung didn't consider implementing this choise. Fast charging even worns the battery first... it stresses the battery and it will last less but at least they gave us a choise in using it or not.
Absolutely true! Samsung should have implemented a feature to limit charge at 80%, or implement a Bixby Routine to enable this behavior (for example, when charger is plugged at night)
50% increase in my case. And i used OTA Package to update manually.
From: 4h SoT in 24h
To: 8h SoT in 24/30h
Idle times are impressive.
EDIT: just FYI, i rarely charge up to 100%. So my average case is from 85/90% to 5%. Very rarely do i go for a 100 to 0.
One UI 2.1 improvements are all courtesy of the Deep Sleep feature.
I've added everything i barely use or dont need to create wake-ups on the Deep Sleep list. On the normal sleep list, i have low priority things like Play store, etc. And i make sure i white list everything i need untouched (Messenger, WhatsApp, etc) and also do the same thing on the Memory management. Solid results.
Edit: 100% to 1%. 10h SoT with a 30h cycle. It's like getting better and better.
My tab a 2019 has the 80 percent feature and I do not understand why they wont offer the simple setting actually I do because phones they want you to replace the phone instead of the battery in 2 years. I run my note 9 from however low to 100 every night but only because I dont have the option these newer android 9 then 10 now 2.1 adding more and more apps into the firmware but wont add a simple little feature as this. Also I would like to be able to choose if I want to do ota with my data! But I cant.
For me One UI 2.0 was already worst with about 3 to 3.5 hrs of screen on time. Now with 2.1 i barely get close to 2 hrs of SoT. My note 9 is running stock since i bought it at launch and have never done any factory reset. Only thing i do is wipe the cache after a upgrade.

Bro you need to factory reset and start fresh and if that doesn't help something is wrong with your battery I get 9 SOT all the time with 10 2.0 with android 9 it was about 6 SOT, I haven't received 2.1 yet. I have us unlocked version.

You have a snapdragon variant which is anyway much better than exynos variant (my phone) for battery backup.

Stop saying Exynos is not good for battery life. I can easily get 8h SOT of regular usage on my SM-N960F running OneUI 2.1. Obviously I don't play games like Asphalt 9, etc but I never use power saving modes and never limit myself in order to save battery life. I play 8 Ball Pool when I want to, I watch YouTube for as long as I want to, I browse Instagram and use Samsung Internet Beta when I feel like it. Not once have I ended up in a dire need to recharge when I was outside or when I needed to use the phone. Also the phone charges 50% for 1h (I charge between 30 and 80%) so I just leave it charge while having dinner, watching TV or something like that - when I normally wouldn't use the phone anyway.
On my N9 seems battery life abit improve from previous 2.0. Sammy did great job this time.
Here is my screenshot to prove it.
It takes time to see improvement in your device's battery life after installing OneUI2.1. As the software AI needs to learn all your habits again before any improvement in battery life will occur. This process should take a few weeks
Hey guys , I'm near a week with the OnePlus 10 Pro ,Chinese version flashed with NE2215 EU rom ,but I'm not sure if it's only mi idea or my life battery ir worse than average ,I'm using Oxygen OS 13 right now, and coming from an Asus ROG phone 5 with 6000 mAh battery, so I'm not sure if maybe the conversion to NE2215 from NE2210 hasta some relation .
So if you can share your average SOT and detail the model of your phone I will appreciate a lot .
I've already made a thread about SOT, it's difficult to see threads these days seeing as XDA had made forum changes and done away with the long established categories.
My average is 8 hours with a max of 10 hours 41
I actually use gsambattery to get a better realistic screen on time usage for my device.
Android new way of showing you your screen on time is very deceptive in my option.
For me battery life with this device has been ok I get like 4-5 hours screen on time with like 20-15% but I expected better with the larger battery and the LTPO2 screen that they brag about. And this is with AOD off.
Hey, got a weird issue with my device.
Just 4 years old piece and already this has a dead battery!!! Cannot use it anymore basically... drains overnight on airplane mode from 75-80% to 0 in 7 hours!!! Last night I left it fully charged and shut down just to not starting anymore this morning because there is no power left, battery is EMPTY!!! Just barely started to charge!!! Something is wrong with this phone, really wrong!!!
I tried custom roms but the phone has the same behavior... so I came back to MIUI 12.5 just to be in the same position and to have the same conclusion: I HAVE A DEAD BATTERY!!!
I went back to my old Redmi Note 5 Pro with a custom rom... just like knew. How is this even possible??? An older device, with same amount of use have a better battery life than a newer device??? Different battery manufacturer, some production flaw in the battery production? Either way, conclusion is clear: NEW BATTERY... so, so disappointed by this situation...
Batteries get old and die , you have to change it , or maybe there is a short circuit on the motherboard , best option is to take it to a repair shop
I know.
But I found out that in fact my phone is only 2 years and 3 months old??? So, is this battery old enough to die? I guess there is something else here.
In the meantime, I already change the battery, sadly not with an original one... and so far so good, but only a few days passed. This battery however is acting strange! Does not charge more than 86%. Aida64 reports battery full at this precent... but I guess time will tell if I made a bad/ good choice.

encounter the same problem after 4 years of using redmi note 8 battery drains so fast unlike before and changing the battery to a new one it either does not fully charges it to 100 percent and it shutdown when my battery percent is around 20 or so percent but when I try to connect a charge and remove it, it will open up to that 20% or so percentage and continue to be used, I'm guessing the it need a battery calibration but I know really know what to follow on the internet.
I'm new to Xperia 1 ii phone. Can someone say about the battery life? Is it normal that the camera consumes battery more? This is running on Android 12 and also this is more than 2 years old.
Screen and a camera continues autofocus will suck juice, how much depends on your device.
I expect +10h screentime in total; but even my minimal lineageos-18.1 cant deliver it reliable on a two year old device.
