Greetings, my almost brand new Mi11i has a problem with battery drain since the first day it was bought. It has latest updates and battery saving has been turned on but no change. I followed debloating tutorial and what to uninstall via ADB but it didn't help at all, not much bloatware stuff anyway. Battery drain is mostly present only while the phone is locked, for instance, overnight. If I charge it up to 100%, after 7-8 hours it will be at 60% with no use. Settings show that "other" app is consuming 60% of battery and through the day, with only 2 hours screen on time, the battery will be at around 20%. I installed Gsam battery monitor and gave it permission over ADB but it doesn't list "other" app, instead it translates it as "Android" and after that is "Android kernel". Both apps show background cpu usage of 2 hours but it doesn't show what processes. Only way to fix the overnight drain is by turning on airplane mode which resulted in drain of 3-4% per night in total but that doesn't fix the root of the issue, which I even shouldn't have on a brand new phone.
If it's Android kernel you won't have much control over it. Flash Pixel Experience ROM and never look back!

Thank you for the info, previous phone Redmi note 9 pro didn't have this issue, also was on miui 12/13. Also I cannot root or flash since phone is under warranty

You can root under warranty and I think with Xiaomi it doesn't void it

Ok awesome,I will try it. What apps can help me after rooting?
To be honest you don't have to root if you don't want. Just install Pixel Experience. It is simply the best experience I have ever had on a phone. I sold my see ultra cause this was better
Hello, finally found the reason why my battery drains so fast when the phone is in standby. Actually it never is in standby, since app .qtidataservices keeps it on non-stop during the night(7h 26m 34s was "Keep Awake" time for last night). Under wakelock details in gsmbattery monitor, .qtidataservices has "Wakelock Detail" for the previously mentioned time on "(0) IWLAN_PROXY_WL", with included processes of "CneApp", "CaCertApp", and vendor.qti.iwlan. Inculded processes are ".qtidataservices and *wakelock*. The process .qtidataservices is not listed in the apps and I cannot disable it over ADB neither, while things in "Included Packages" list are visible in the apps but force stopping them and blocking the mobile data usage did nothing. I forgot to mention, battery drain completely stops when I turn on airplane mode.

Since it is obvious that the system is faulty and no way to bring the phone to deep sleep during night, I tried to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery but even that wasn't successful, official miflash unlock locked me for 168 hours, while using fastboot unlock command gives me "Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device". Battery is still draining for 40-50% overnight if I don't turn on airplane mode.

Hello everyone, yesterday i figured a big problem with the battery of my 3 Weeks note.
I'm so upset and its driving me crazy.
I screen captured this. Battery life became so short it hardly works for 10 hours maximum if i don't use it much. Thanks
might want to get rid of that any.do app or change the settings. .
No i don't think any do is the problem as i downloaded it about 2 Weeks ago, and the problem started just yesterday.
what settings do you think i should modify?
well maybe any do wasn't the problem 2 weeks ago.. but it is the problem now.. why ask if u aren't going to take advice?
do you have the original samsung batterie? or an cheap rebuilt one? I've made some bad experience with cheap chinese batteries...
Do you have the stock kernel? In some old versions of Abyss Kernel i had bad batterie lives...
Dear bambo i did take advice and deleted the app. I've formatted the device 30 minutes ago as well.
Still having the same problem.
Mr David its the phone's original battery made in Japan finished in China
I took a screen shot after the formatting. Its just getting worse.
Thanks for helping guys

Try badass battery monitor pro and see what may be keeping the phone awake, or waking it up often.
what graph?
I've had loads of batt drain problems, and found the batt stats app to be really misleading.
In nearly all cases a random app 'appeared' to be the culprit but further investigation yielded it as being some other app filling the system log (logcat). Try looking at something you installed more recently. Uninstall them one by one and check foe when the batt drain stops. That'll be your culprit I reckon.
The more complicated approach is to install something like catlog from Google Play and read through the system log and try to work it out that way. I used his approach to discover WidgetLocker was capping my juice even though AVG was being reported as the battery hog!

Go to market and install Better Battery Stats. It will give you all the wakelocks and the culprit apps and kernel that might be eating your battery and not allowing the device to go into deep sleep and conserve battery !
Thanks for helping guys, I formatted the phone yesterday.
I‘am afraid the battery has a hardware problem. I'll have to contact the store I think, thanks to ALLAH I have 1 year full warranty. But I've got 2 questions for you guys:
1- I charge the phone while sleeping, so it stays plugged about 4 hours after its fully charged. Does that shorten the battery ‘a life?
2- Does the Android get viruses? Cuz if its not a battery problem, it might be a virus though.

-1- No, dont worry about your batt if u plugged more.
-2- I dont know about virus, but what i know if u install crack apps its maybe a virus.
I have used Slimbean rom for a while now and I have beeen very happy about it. I thoguht the battery time has been good so I haven't bothered to check it until now.
I charged the phone to 100% and after 9 hours (where I didn't touch it at all) it had drained down to 85% (everything of except wifi). I had Betterbatterystats instaled to se what was draining it and mostly it's this "baseband_xmm_power". Is this from the rom, kernel or maybe even an app?
The only app I can think of is AutomateIt. a automatic setting app but I'm not sure.
Could it be beacuse I have such a bad signal were I live? My phone costantly drops out of range and rconnects all the time.

Well I can't find the answer.

Read all the post, and there is one kernel wich solves it but it's for another rom.
A brief search shows that about a gazillion people had this same exact problem and there are something like 1000 threads already in this phone's section alone....You found no solution bacause....well there is none! Some kernels are modded so that the baseband wakelock won't show up but it's still there. Ususally on our phone when wiping cache and dalvik you need to do one more normal reboot or it has trouble going into sleep
Moving to custom kernels solved the problem for me.
I'm actually using warewolf v8. It works great.
baseband_xmm_power can not be removed completelly, because it should be an important wakelock for the NVIDIA device. Anyway, the werewolf kernel fixes the excessive wakelocks from it.
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed an increase in the amount of battery that Android OS uses. My battery was great prior to 4.4 and it seemed to have maintained that level immediately after I flashed the stock image. However, over the past few weeks I've noticed that my battery life has been abysmal. I am running 4.4 with GravityBox modifications on a CDMA Dev Edition X.
I used BBStats and GSAM Monitor and believe that some Kernel process is keeping the CPU running when it does not need too. Is there any way to flash a new kernel or is there something else that I should do?
I've attached picture from the stock battery screen as I unfortunately forgot to SS GSAM.
I did a brief search to see if anyone had a similar issue but I was unable to find any relevant topics. If there is one that I missed, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Sorry, it does not look like I took one of the partial wakelocks. I did take one of the kernel wakelocks which I've now included. I also realized that I did take a screenshot of GSAM as well. Hopefully this will help.
I charged my phone about before my initial post so I don't have up to date BBS just yet.

I checked out that thread. It doesn't appear that the issue that I am having is similar to the one that they are experiencing. I believe that I've narrowed down the kernel as the problem whereas there's was something actively using the phone process.
Is the deleted wakelock the only kernel wake lock you're seeing?

At the time it was. However, I recently fully charged my phone so I'm going to see if clearing out several apps corrected the issue. I'll report back here tomorrow after I've had the opportunity to see how this charge goes.
I appreciate all of the feedback thus far.
Hello,
I have a problem with my battery percentage since the MAJ 6.0.1.
My 6 nexus is rooted, so I flashed manually system.img and new radio from the Factory Image.
After restart phone, My Nexus indicates 3000/4000% battery.
In recovery I have the right battery.
Do you know how to solve the problem?
Phone discharged thoroughly but still the same problem.
Sorry, I can not put outside link to image.
It hasn't happened to anyone ever. Ever. So searching the forums for "battery percent" will not give any results, I assure you.
i guess you dont first search for your issues solution? well, the same question gets posted on xda daily, id suggest you search. anyways, its a bug. ignore it, it will probably get fixed next update.
I cannot ignore it because I never know level of my battery
My Nexus turns off without warning me : finally, discharged battery !
Thanks

So I left my phone at around 90% yesterday night with both WiFi and data turned off with no apps running it background and when today I woke up all my battery was drained. I did some research and people suggested to delete google play cache etc which I did. I am still wondering about the real culprit and the reason behind this.View attachment 4582529

You have the same problem that I had. (Not bad as yours...). As you can see, all the core clocks are at maximum speed, draining battery. The solution is to change the 'scaling governor' from 'interactive' to 'ondemand'... But to do so you need to unlock bootloader and root the device. I did this last night and my battery is fine now.
You could also delete the cache+data from google play services, and reboot your phone (turn wifi off!). You will not have the problem anymore (but if you switch the Wifi back 'ON' it will come back after a while).

also will this void my warranty if I root & unlock BL but not flash a custom ROM etc?

The normal cpu in iddle looks like the SS i've attached... It should increase clock when you're actually doing stuff, but, if the phone is iddle it should go back to the 'lowest' setting, which is what is currently in my SS.
And it will probably void warrenty, but I'm not sure... Good luck!
I am really surprised we are facing this issue even after having Android One. Wish I had waited and gone for Poco.

This issue was happening in pixel 2 as well, months ago... There are people here in the forum that own this device and does not have the problem... So maybe we're unlucky?

Go in the 'CPU' tab and change the 'scaling governor' from 'interactor' to 'ondemand' (you need to apply this in two itens, each item control 4 cores - its under the section "Big Governor" and "LITTLE governors") then reboot device.
Use cpu-z to confirm if the value was indeed changed.
Quick solution is to reboot. Fixes the issue but it gets triggered again! Submit a ticket on the feedback app.. a lot of people are affected by the CPU maxing out

It is just $50 more expensive and is available in India. No BS.
Xiaomi doesn't even reply to people or keep them updated like OnePlus does about the current issues and ETA of OTA.
A2 is like 230$ and poco is over 400 on gearbest for example. OnePlus yes sure they reply but they are lying all the time.

Poco will have their own bugs, don't worry.
this is Xiaomi world, good hardware, good price & lot of bugs.
I'm curious as why in CPU-Z, my processor is labeled as SD636 2.21ghz but the model is 660.
As for the cpu frequency, mine was like that until I stopped using the fingerprint and switched to trusted face.
It didn't get stuck ever since.
Now it discharges by 12% per hour without games, give it a try :good:
