Thanks in advance.

and set pm.sleepmode=1 in defaults.txt

thanks rzk333, i've tried it last night. it's better now.
by the way it is set pm.sleep_mode=1 not set pm.sleepmode=1.

MiniCM9-3.0.2 / nAa-ics-03 bad battery life

Hi there,
Just installed MiniCM9-3.0.2 / nAa-ics-03 a few days ago coming from MiniCM7.
I really like the ROM. There's only one thing.. Battery life is 8 hours max.
The phone is setup not to sync any mail/contacts/agenda stuff right now and I've tried Juicedefender to shut down data traffic at night but still the battery is almost empty after about 8 hours. I'm using the suggested SmartAssv2 governor.
Any one else also experiencing this and/or has a suggestion about what might help getting longer battery life ?
Thanks in advance

Some say overclocking can help with saving battery life, as tasks get done quicker and so you don't burn as much energy on displaying the screen. Then again, overclocking caused my phone to become unstable.
Why not flash the nAa-ics-04 and MiniCM 3.0.3 and see if that helps? Check your Battery stats and see what part is using the most battery.
Place the Energy widget on your homescreen so you can turn off services that you don't need at that time.

Thanks for your reply belgianguy.
In the mean time I had found both nAa-ics-04 and MiniCM 3.0.3 and installed them.
Also I did this procedure a few time : charged the battery full, cleared the battery stats from CWM and discharged the battery.
Altogether a very big difference
Not sure what caused the battery life to last much longer but both things helped I guess.
Even got wifi working now
I'll have a look at the Energy widget next.

Disable auto sync, lower the brightness, don't overheat your phone.

But i've disabled everything and i don't overheat my phone.
@SgsD
Which phone?
Do a nandroid and reflash stock rom/kernel. (Even if you are on stock)

Replace your battery.
Problem solved.Just fully charged my battery and it's ok now
You can even add some build.prop & init.d tweaks in your phone to improve battery backup as you are rooted. And you can also try any custom roms which have better ui & also better battery backup & even good performance compared to stock roms...

Android 10 battery drain OTA Update and HARD RESET

Hi everyone!
A couple of weeks ago I received the security patch and Android 10 for my POCO. It is not yet rooted and running the stock MIUI.
After the update however, the battery life degraded nearly 50% from 5-6 hours of SOT now i have at most 3 to 4.
The Standby battery drain is worse though! Before i charged my phone once in two days (I am not a power user) now i need to charge it everyday! I have more than 20% battery drain at night alone!
The first thing I did after I got that problem was to check if all the apps are restricted, if the GPS is off and so on. I Downloaded the Greenify app just in case but nothing helped!
After that i did a full HARD RESET. After it the Situation got a bit better but still I have no more than 4 hours of SOT and still lose more than 15% at night. All the apps got restricted use and GPS is turned off! The only battery drain function I have active is the WiFi but I got it always on before too!
I couldn't find any solution that would work for me. I was so Inlove with my Poco F1 before and now after the Android 10 update i am starting to feel i need to go on...
Please if you have any suggestions let me know! Thank you a lot!

JoyUI 12 ? If yes, same problem here. Report the problem for black shark and wait for fix.
i kinda found a work around. but i had to factory reset my phone. then went to settings searched for battery optimization then optimized the apps i can optimize. then selected a few apps to disable background running. now it's 7%-8% drain for 11hrs. still not that good but way better than 30% drain on idle for 5hrs. i even remember when it was new. i guess it was na os version. i only get 1%-2% drain on idle/overnight. but i guess we'll just have to wait for future updates. i hope this will be fixed soon.
Same issue for me, Android system is killing my battery, 40% drain each day without any use...
Please could someone offer a solution?

Android 11 Battery drain discussion

Hey folks, see if this is the right forum to post this.
Like some other people on here and on reddit the latest Android 11 update C.57 caused a lot more battery drain on my device.
Before on A.46 my over night drain was about 2% which is good I think with Wifi on.
With Coloros 11 it can be over 10% drain over the course of 6-8 hours which is far more.
I have tried gather info from my phone which app is draining but it looks rather normal.
Even tried the adb command to force the phone get the phone to do the battery optimazation manually without luck, seems I have dont have the permission to make suchs commands through ADB with USB-debugging mode enabled..
However this morning I found in Settings>Battery>More Battery Settings>Optimize Battery Use
The whole list on every app there was set to "Always ask" and not "Optimize Automatically"
Now I changed every app to Optimize Automatically and will see how this affects the current drain.
I read somewhere that to the phone to get to this "state of battery optimazation" you need to have the phone in the right state to execute that which was Battery Full on Charger in idle mode not moving for a few hours.
So I thought if the battery optimazation settings where set to "always ask" (which it never did) this state maybe never happens?
Anyways feel free to share your battery settings and what Battery standby drains you guys got because I have been going a little nuts over this issue haha.
I wouldn't bother changing the battery optimisation settings, they seem to reset themselves.
I wasn't getting great battery life so finally did a factory reset. After a week the battery settled down and is now ok, probably around 5.5 hours screen time a day at qhd 120hz with always on display in from 8am to 11pm. I don't really check battery drain overnight, I will check it and report back.

Yes I checked them again now after you mentioned it and they do seem to reset. However now my phone seems to work how it should, currently 3 hour screen on and 64% battery left. Wifi at home all day. Also the standy drain is night and day better now. Maybe this was a bug in Android 11 that kept it from optimize the apps?
I have adaptive on both refresh and resolution and same Always on time settings as you.

Glad it's working better now. I do find the battery a bit inconsistent, some days it's great and others it goes down quickly. I've turned location off now as dont need it that much, I lost 3% overnight which seems good to me.
I really don't understand how you guys get such a low battery drain overnight.
On ColorOS 7 I had 10-12% drain overnight.
On ColorOS 11 it stayed the same. I have reset my phone, now it's about 7-8%.
This is with night optimization on in the settings. 5G disabled.
I always was able to get that 3% on my older OP 7 Pro. Even on my Realme X2 Pro, which had the same OS!
Also, my SOT is not that good. On mixed data/wifi I only usually get 3.5hrs SOT. After the reset its 4hrs now.
With 5G on it's unusable, even with good coverage here. (AccuBattery: 6hrs SOT, 57hrs standby, just very bad)
It's nice to have Dual SIM now with Singapore EX, but I cant use it, my battery just can't handle that.
I kept this phone just because the rest is awesome, but the battery is such a letdown.
I thought it was a SD865 problem, but I also had the Mi 10 and Poco F2 Pro as a secondary device without any drain problems.

3% seems good.
However I had a big drain again over night so gonna try to set apps to optimize again.
It is indeed very inconsistent

Yes I agree the battery drain is very weird with this OS.
Have you tried changing the settings in the battery optimize section? I turned on optimize automatically and then charged my phone full and let it sit for a while with charger plugged.
Try this and see if it gets better.
Its weird that the settings change after a while tho.
Just recently managed to use the phone and have to confirm ColorOS 11 is killing battery overnight, I have this for few weeks now so should be all optimised, yet still overnight is around 25-30% battery gone, my previous mate 20 pro was taking maybe 2-3% overnight so is massive hit. No notification is allowed, do not disturb on with wifi and mobile off, really weird is behave like something in the background was still on.
mine only about few percent but my battery life sucks at 4-5 hour ish
