Hi All,
After trying more than 15 roms, I can say that the battery life has been disappointing.
Aprox 4h at best, which is not good enough.
Can you recommend a rom that has 5-6h SOT ?
i have same "problem"... if i use brightness full, messenger, and wifi on - i can write maybe 2h? and battery is dead...
have already 2 roms - 2x miui, 5.9.24 and now 6.xx

That doesn't make any sense to me. I use Loki's CM12.1 and l can get 6 hours of sot in a 24 hour period. Surfing, emailing and messaging with no games. Use Gsam Pro and better battery stats to find the draining apps. Use Amplify and Greenify donation to limit the wakelocks. Use the built-in privacy guard to further limit the wakelocks from Google play and Google play services.
I can get SoT of 6 hours with normal usage (no hard gaming) on CM 12.1 by danielpinto, this SoT screenshot is on his April build, now that the May 8th build is out i'm still getting 6 hours of SoT. note that SoT isn't a credible source of determining "best battery" in your case, but at least on MIUI based rom i can get 4-5 hours only of maximum SoT.
edit: i forgot to mention that in this case i didn't use any tweaks. just pure CM 12.1 config.
edit2: this is 2 days of battery. you can see on the second image about the activity, look at the awake and screen on parts, that's my "normal" usage since rn2 isn't my main daily driver.

Hello. My phone when I drop it in charger and used it the battery coming down!! Its mean drop it 55% after used with charge go to 54% and its normal get charger when leave it . And without charger the number of battery going down faster. Its that normal? I am in stock rom and used sim network wuthout any game just whatsapp.

Is there any rom with camera quality comparable to MIUI camera? I mean working hdr, quick focus, etc? I would love to change rom, but the camera is holding me back, i really like how it works ( except photos in low light )
If you wish CM rom then use "a better camera" app. I got advise and it's really better then the stock one. Maybe you can try Flyme on RN2. I am using it and I think I am getting better pics then MIUI.
15% less after 7 min of vidéo on a fresh install
Dear all,
I understand that the battery is draining fast but in that situation this is very fast.
I mean : 7 min of YouTube video (fail army)
And while typing my message here I am also losing about 3%
Do you think it can be due to the Rome smiui 7.2.3 or because my battery itself begins to be damaged?
Thx for your suggestions.

I'm using Daniel's ROM. I always use facebook, google chrome to read books, turn on wifi at home and 3G mobile data when going out. SOT is above 5 hours before getting to 20%. My screen brightness setting is Automatic so I can get clear vision.
Daniel's ROM is very good
5h what a dream iam never above on each rom at 3 h sot. By Using amp, nap and greenify

I also have good battery runtimes with 6.5.19 and Redmi tool with 4 cores at 1.7 Ghz Touchboost at 1 core 1.1 Ghz and cfq scheduler.

Some reviews reporting terrible SOT with Redmi Note 2. Share your gsam and thoughts.
The first few ROMs were poor. On the 5.9.18 developer ROM from xiaomi.EU (multi language version of official China Developer ROM) the most I've been getting is between 4 and 5 hours. I'm using a different launcher and widgets now though which probably doesn't help the situation. It's certainly a lot worse than my little Jiayu G4S which has a similar sized battery, 4.7" screen an older SoC. It's a shame that I now have a mediatek device with decent GPS but I have to use it sparingly if I'm out cycling. Doh!
Hmm.. Thank you for your reply. It sounds manageable but somewhat disappointing. Any other reports are welcome.
I'm lucky if I manage 3 . On the latest developer with Google Apps installed installed. This is greenify and low screen brightness.
Just can't seem to get over three hours.
Any tips would be great.
Why would you even use Greenify when MIUI has multiple battery saving options already built-in? I can get 4-5 SOT with 2 SIM cards, 3G/4G, wifi on, internet browsing, texting, GPS and sync on. No gaming, though. Also depends how long it's idle.
Sent from my Redmi Note 2
Will give it a try. Uninstalled greenify. Will see how I get on.
Uninstalled greenify. Not much difference. Have now wiped my device and fresh installed 5.9.24 xiaomi beta and I've got my first 4 hours screen on time since getting my device.
5.9.18 usually 4.5-6 H SOT
Who makes your screen? 80% of my battery drain is my screen. Only got it on 20% screen brightness. Getting 18 hours system time and at very most 4 hours (usually just over three). Do you have sync turned on?
Tianma, sync turned off, also using contrast in standard mode. Now since I plugged off my phone from the charger, I'm using it all the time with 1.5h screen on and still have 86% battery.
Also I'm running Polish MIUI ROM, which is based on chinese ROM.

You might check if the processor is set to balanced versus performance. At least one benchmark program indicated a higher score using balanced instead of performance.

what rom do you use?
Using china rom 6.7.10.10 and greenify, I got 16 hours total, including 5 hours SOT and 2 hours talk time. The rom is very good, but the tianma's panel is really a battery hog.
Hi guys, still waiting for my phone. Maybe still one more week. Reading many thread about battery consumption it seems this is really a disappointing point for this phone.
Did you manage ton improve it with latest ROM?
Some people did require to perform battery recalibration. Did you try that?
Take care guys.

Just got this for 3 days.
All day 3G minimal wifi. Browsing mostly.
Friends. We find a solution for battery life. If you use mobile them forums for browsing,or whatsapp etc. use 2g . When will you use twitter,instagram etc switch 2g to 3g. My friends take 5-6 hour screen time. So If somebody make 2g-3g toggle or widget for Miui it would be AWESOME. Thanks.
Also when you use WIFI then change your preffered network type to 2G. It will impact your battery life however doesnt use mobile data.
I am getting quite bad battery life.
MIUI 7.
At home all day with strong signal.
On WIFI all day.
Almost no calls, bit of texting, 30 minutes of bluetooth music and some light gaming.
I expected better! With my old Sony Z2 i would still be at 65% with these kind of stats.
And here is my other Xiaomi product with excellent battery life, i mean WOW! http://i.imgur.com/zyRO2UE.png
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 Redmi 4X before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
7-8 hrs on Full network on and medium brightness
Minimum of 5.30 hrs on full brightness and 4g+youtube
Maximum is 9.30 low brightness no data and only text and calls in b/w.
Anywhere between 8 to 9 hrs with moderate to heavy usage, wifi,data always on. Occasionally over 9.5 hrs on casual usage with video streaming, music etc
8 hrs under heavy usage (games, browsing, music, listening to music while browsing and gaming). Haven't tested light usage, maybe it'll pass 9-10 hrs.
6-7h on mobile network
8-9h on WiFi
Latest Xiaomi.eu ROM

Great battery life same as redimi note 4
Pretty good on stock MIUI 8.5
More than enough For 1 Day General Usage
Battery eating on MIUI 9
My results on MIUI 9.1.1, official. Over 3 days + over 7 hours display.
Bluetooth (with sinchronization MiBand), 2 SIM, Internet (WiFi or mobile)- always ON.
With active use- over 11 Hours screen ON
P.S. Removed (or freezed) google and xiaomi bloatware apps
I know something is wrong with the phone. Completely wrong amd awkward.
Fully wiped, downgraded and even flashed with custom rom.
Still got this massive battery drain, doing nothing.
I ha e to charge the phone 2 times a day, it has 3:00 - 4:30 SoT
PD1: Pls help someone, i don't know what to do, I'm about to sell it cheaper and buy a different model, atm I've XRN4X (Nikel 4GBx64GB)
Why not order a new battery and have it replaced instead of selling it cheap

Well normal is like 7h on data and 8-10h on wifi. Turn off data when not using the phone, reduce brightness, disable location when you don't really need it.

This is the reason, without gaming you should be able to get 8h+ sot.
10hrs of intensive usage
Resurrection Remix 6.0.0
Android 8.1
I tried every ROM and Kernel in the book. Undervolted everything. Cant get more than 6 hours SoT with dual sim, LTE, Wifi enabled at all times. My Redmi Note 3 Pro with a larger screen and fullhd got way better values with the same battery capacity..
well every time a new phone comes out, early reviews are mixed with some having terrific batter while others are having a dreadful one. Theres only one way to have a scientific approach to measure a battery life, and it is to use a standardized test on the phone with most commonly used settings on and others off and no applications installed etc. Since that is hard to do lets just use a poll.. Whats your uptime, SOT and some major setttings...like below
UPTIME: 24hours
SOT: 6H15mn
Connectivity: LTE
Settings: Auto brightness, gmail sync
also put up screenshots of the battery tab so we can see the usage, not just people just starring at a black screen
thanks for voting guys but its also crucial that you post the infos as described that way we can help fellow members with bad battery life
Can't upload photo for some reason.

This can't be accurate; the GSM signal power and quality differs for every user and it's an important factor to consider. If I use my phone in two different locations in my city I'll have different results.

Yes there are many factors that impact the battery life unless we all run the same battery benchmark on airplane mode with default configuration and no apps installed, battery life is not comparable but it's just to get an average
The new chip is just bad. This won't get fixed.
You can try to use a custom battery savings mode and just enable the CPU limiter, it'll cap performance to the S8 but battery will be quite a lot better.
I can get a day or more but its no match for the Mate 10 Pro I had before
Sorry but won't post any screenshot as I have to put in charge everyday around 3 pm, unplugged at 7 am, to make sure battery will last til the end of the day =(
My previous 3 phones were S8+, Note 8 and Iphone X, all I can say is that S9+ battery life is much worse compared to the 3 of them.
Expecting an update to fix that, if it doesn't come in the next 10 days I'll return my handset.

You realise leaving it charging over night knackers the battery because it keeps trying to top up which over time puts a lot of extra wear and tear on it

Sorry if my first post was not clear : I put the phone to charge (induction) when going to bed around 1am, unplug it in the morning around 7am and have to do a complementary charge in the afternoon .
very good
The more it consumes internet over mobile data the power decreases. However, good at all

I don't want to disappoint you. But my previous phone was S8+. Unfortunately with the official update to Oreo the battery performances was a little bit worse than S9+.
Agree with the fact that with Android 7 Galaxy s8+ had a better battery life. But with Oreo... that's another story.

Bump this as some users are reporting very bad battery life while most can achieve 5-7 hours easily please participate in the poll
I have the SD variant S9+ and I'm in the very bad battery life camp.
I am also in the bad battery camp... I can get about 2-3 hours of SOT before it just craps out and I just spent 800$ on this thing. I'm ready to return it myself.
I'm on exynos and really enjoying my battery life. Anywhere between 5.5 - 7.5hrs sot depending on how I use the phone.
Rocking on 6 or 7 hours sot with all social apps, pubg mobile, Twitch, YouTube, discord.. Exynos version. Who has bad battery should move to Apple because u can't even make your android smartphone have a good battery.

This is better SOT than I've ever gotten from any smartphone I've owned. 5 hours SOT and still 38% left.

Standby time is amazing, too. 9 hours overnight used only 5%.
The battery life for this phone is good. The standby battery life is not great. I don't get a good signal at my job, so when I get in I cut off my data. With the data off, the phone is still draining battery.
However, if I'm in a good signal area or on Wi-Fi, I can get 6-7hours sot.
The S9+ battery life is insane, 1% over night, 8 hours
Best battery life of any phone I've owned, for sure.
Are you on SD or Exynos?

Yes... The stand by time is really good on this phone... I had the phone off the charger for 8 hours and barely used it all day ( busy day at work ) and I was still at 89 Percent at the end of the day... It definitely takes a few cycles still you notice major major changes .
I have exinos and never had a worse phone regarding battery life and heating. I tried all possible solutions for increasong battery life but still I get only 3-4 hours of SOT with a total of about just 15 hours!!!
What iritates me the most is that I do not have mjch apps and all is set to sleep and everything possible but the phone still randomly gets super hot even when nothing is runing, which then drains the battery too.
The drain overnight is also bad, it is draining 1-2% per hour.
Poor battery life . Same result even after carrier sent a replacement.
cant believe that i have s9 plus exynos and battery life is really not good for me.
Battery vs Movie
Whenever I try to watch movie on my mobile. Then It takes only 30 minutes to empty battery. I don't know why this is happening to me. I spent a lot of money to buy this ****ty phone. :crying:
From iPhone 6 Plus to S9+ (battery worst?)
i have finished to migrate from iPhone 6 plus to S9 Plus (SnapDragon) but until now (only 1 day) the battery seems to be worst. i will wait for more days and search what i should to change to make the battery have a longer life. What turn off; what consumes more battery and so on.

iPhone's plus versions are better in total battery life. Used a iphone 7 plus for a year & seeing th difference. Refrain from doing anything on th SnapDragon.It would sattle itself.

Screen on Time (SoT) of only 4,5 hours on latest xiaomi.eu ROM. GSAM Battery Monitor reports Android system is hogging all the battery. I've let my battery go to 0% and slow charge to 100%, I've used the "adb shell cmd package bg-dexopt-job" command to optimise the apps. But these steps made not a significant difference
I haven't tried removing all the xiaomi apps through adb but I doubt it will make the SoT go up to 7h like normal current phones in this price range. Is there anything we can do?
I am on official MIUI 12.5.5.0 and i am facing the same Issue, android system is taking up to 30-40% of battery, i have tried pretty much everything, factory reset, debloating the bloatware, discharge to 0 then charge to 100%, switching to 60 hz refresh rate and after all that, i am still hitting 4-5 hrs of SOT, which is insanely bad...
It's not the hardware problem, it's the MIUI problem, our best bet is to wait for new MIUI update that MIGHT fix this.
If someone thinks that this is hardware problem, i would like to hear your argument for this, but i am 100% sure that this is MIUI's problem, since android system is the problem.
last eu is very hungry rom..some are back to 12.0.3 or more recent...or you have to move to GSI roms...
What is the SoT on GSI ROMS?
The oldest ROM on xiaomi.eu is 12.0.7.0, but it's a fastboot.zip ROM, will it wipe internal storage or is it ok to dirty flash?

So I just used the windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat from xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Lite5G_V12.0.7.0.RKICNXM_v12-11-fastboot so it wouldn't wipe internal data. But after that I got stuck in MIUI recovery 5.0 loop and no way out except wiping data.. I'm waiting for it to boot up now, and keep you posted on the battery
Is there a way to understand what Android System is doing? If we could find out which processes are constantly running then we may change setting to prevent this? For ex: is it constantly trying to send feedback to Xiaomi or Google to improve user experience etc? I think I enabled those while I set up the phone.
Also battery goes down 1% every hour during the night while the phone is idle. I think it's too much. I really like the phone but I am very close to sending it back.

What is the SoT on GSI ROMS?
The oldest ROM on xiaomi.eu is 12.0.7.0, but it's a fastboot.zip ROM, will it wipe internal storage or is it ok to dirty flash?

if you re from stock to stock, normally no wipe..if from beta to stock or reverse, then wipe
I've charged the phone up to 100% and since then let it watch YouTube, Netflix and VLC. Phone is now at 70% with 2h 50min SoT. Screen was mostly between 10-50% brightness. Seems promising, I'll post tomorrow about the idle drain and other stats
Update:
So there was still some idle drain but I left my bluetooth connected tot my headphones alle night. Overall the battery performance is way better than before. I also did disable traceur and optimise apps with dexopt-job FYI.

7h Sot, android system is still pulling a lot but this is way better than before. I'll use the xiaomi debloater next and see if we can squeeze more out of it.

So what about your experience after a few days of usage. And what did you miss compared to the 12.5 update? I'm considering downgrade because of the bad sot right now.

It is a bit better, not always 7h SoT but 5,5 at least. But I had some problems after I used Xiaomi ADB debloat tool, I removed too much and it was creating wakelocks. I dirty flashed the rom again so I had everything xiaomi back. So I still need to test more .
In terms of missing out:
When you swipe down for messages or quick tiles, you cannot move between those two. You have to go up again and then down on the other side. A bit annoying.
Sometimes when you get new messages, an old message is show in the floating preview.
I don't see any concerning wakelocks now so I'll report the nightly idle drain and SoT tomorrow again.

Strange this is...
Today I tested out the connection.
Right now I am on 4,5 hrs sot and still have 43% battery left. This is on 12.5.5.
Only things that's different then the last days is that I'm on wifi and I have used my cellular data only for half an hour.
When I look to my battery stats I see that it's steady the whole day, EXCEPT for the half an hour I went from home. Then you see abnormal usage of Android-system resources.
So, this could be something....
Yes, something wrong with the radio/modem. Are you in 5g area or lte?
