Hi,
I'm facing a strange battery drain issue where upto 60% battery is getting drained over night. All this time mobile data is off and ram is clear. Battery usage statistics and Gsam battery monitor show conflicting usage.
Attaching screenshots in a separate post.

I will suggest to use BetterBatteryStats app to pinpoint the problem. I can't deduct anything by looking in screenshots as no detailed information is present..

Hi
@BlasFamous Use dozzer. I'm using it too, does save juice.

In facing this issue too. I'm running on final RR 6.0 with radon + exposed. Usually I got 0.5% or less per hour when idle with airplane mode. Now got 2%-4%. I don't know which couse this. I tried clean flash with RR, cm13, LOS13 but still facing this issue.

If this happens, no matter which ROM you try, it will be either one of the apps installed on your phone or simply a weak signal.
When did the problem start exactly?

Im not sure. Maybe when clean flash rr final build (I use rr 20161010 build before) + xposed + gapps. And I realize got issue with battery drain so I tried to revert back to rr 20161010 build but still facing drain while deep sleep like 100% to 72% in 7hours (on airplane mode, sync off, google location history off, location scanning off, and deep sleep work well)
sorry for my bad english.

Wipe completely inc.. Internal storage i meant! If there is any problem or softy conflict,, it will die! If I'm not wrong,, the problem is cause of xposed framework(if it is a softy issue)!flash the latest lineage or rr rom with proper gapps package without flashing xposed and reboot! Use it for a few days and tell if it resolved! I would be happy to hear that! ?
If none of the above worked,, then flash stock miui rom with stock kernel! These are the only ways u can fix a softy issue! If it didn't fix,, then it should be a hardware issue of the battery!
battery is taking 6-7 hours to charge from 0-50% even in switch off mode...charger and cable is all fine I checked......it is all after i flashed radon kernel once on miui 8 but it failed and i did a cpean install of miui 8 beta using fastboot....
earlier it was taking only 3 hours to charge 0-100% ..is this problem occur due to radon kernel..any solution???
I think I have figured out the problem. The issue started after recent update of Browser app. It seems to do a lot of background data transfer, and goes crazy when mobile data is off. Have uninstalled it.
Confirmed.
After uninstalling miui browser, the overnight LP battery drain dropped from 60% to 2% while sleeping. The only issue is that I'm so used to it that chrome looks painfully outdated.

Do you have root? You could probably restrict the browser from being so "active".
I root my phones only after warranty expires. Further, with permission manager in place, I never needed to look for rooting miui.

Hello people,
most of the time, during the night, I left my phone in Airplane mode and usually loose around 2% (~7 hours).
But since some weeks, I find my battery lose approx. 1% per hour...and I don't know why.
I tried to find wakelocks but nothing really evident -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42248819&postcount=14809
So I'm wondering, if like me you're using sometimes the Airplane Mode, how much battery are you losing per hour ?
Thank you
I can use AP for about 10 hours (never tested longer), without losing a single percentage. Did you check for wakelocks?
1% if I hit snooze on the alarm 5-6 times over half an hour, 0% if I switch the alarm off as soon as it goes off (This is over 8-10 hrs).
Edit - Battery could be on the way out if you've had the phone for a while.

As you can see here there's nothing really obvious, for my part I do not see wakelocks
However, in normal usage, when I make some calls, I can see the battery draining much more than before.
I had some doubt about the open source RIL implemented in CM but I recently flashed an older nightlies (prior to open source RIL commits) and get the same drain in Airplane mode...around 1% per hour.
Anyway the small draining you get with your respective is showing that there's really something wrong on my phone.
The question is: What's wrong ?!
Thank you for replying
Quite weird, because I can't detect any bad wakelocks in that post either.. Maybe try another rom (Samsung based) to test it out? I don't use CM anymore so I can't say anything about it, but Samsung-based roms work really good.
No, you did not mention a new battery in your OP. This is the first time you've mentioned it.

Where does it say 'the battery is new' or 'I've got a fairly new battery' or 'I just bought a new battery'.
A: It doesn't.

My bad, sorry. I was sure to have mentioned that my battery was new. That being said, now you know that I changed the battery
Yesterday, I made a full wipe (again) ...factory reset, format /system, run GS2ROMNuke script then flashed the latest CM nightly.
After the first boot I just configured the Wi-Fi access point, my mail account and disabled location services. Nothing more than CM installed.
Then I waited the phone was in full charge (~2 hours),then disabled sync, Wi-Fi, switch in airplane mode and unplugged the power supply.
The phone has been left in this state for ~11 hours, believe me, the phone lose around 11% of battery.
I'm losing it
Anyone with an advice ?
Could it be due to the phone itself, some hardware faulty component ?

Since you're already testing it all now, why not try a Samsung based rom like I suggested..? Maybe it makes the difference for you.

yep you're right and I'll probably flash a Samsung stock ROM
However, just for sharing, someone pointed me out this interesting thread where some users had the same issue.
Unfortunately, it seems to be an hardware related issue.

Hello I would like to know if the battery life on Ressurection remix ROM is better than stock oxygen OS
Thank you
In theory most MM Roms should have better battery life then Oxygen OS. But it really depends on your usage is: screen brightness, type of games etc. I get about average 5 hours SOT but that's 10% brightness and bowser/social media only no games.
Massive battery drain.
Massive battery drain overnight i was having around 45-50% of battery morning my phn was fully drained and switched off. Wi fi gps bluetooth was off.

Whoa.. That's strange. Did you see in battery graph which app is the culprit? I mostly have 0% drain overnight. If ever it happened, it never went about 8%

I saw that android system is using 39% of the battery.
I guess the battery drain is due to viper4android i flashed it yesterday.i've disabled it now will test the battery today and if the problem persist i'll be forced to change the rom.

Yes currently m trying without it let's what the result comes out to be.
I've seen rumors with RR that in the latest build (5.7.1) that the FM Radio app, which is part of either Android System or CyanogenMod System has been causing a high drain. I disabled it with Titanium Backup and so far my battery has leveled out for me..
I've uninstalled fm radio (with root explorer) and the battery drain is still there for me. 40% of battery is used by google play services, and that could be just about anything behind it.
I'm now thinking of wiping everything, starting from a fresh rom and installing only a few apps per day. RR still looks like the best rom to me.

Have u tried the sultanized RR?
I'm on sultan's RR, did a clean wipe and reformatted all the partitions (system cache and data) as f2fs. We'll see how it goes.
I forgot to check last night, in the morning I had about 35% battery left but I have no idea how much I started with.
It doesn't seem to drain the battery quite as much, at least when I check the battery stats it doesn't show google play services using 40%, it's more like 5%.
So I think I'll stick with sultan
Ok, I made sure to put on airplane mode in the evening, and the battery way around 85%. When I woke up it was 50% - massive battery drain for no reason.
I checked the battery history and I'm shocked to find this (attached)!
Wifi remains on, regardless of airplane mode!
So the phone is asleep, that's good, screen remains off, that's also good, gps and mobile signal are off - but why the hell is wifi still on?!
I think this rom would show some real promise if wifi could be turned off, because otherwise it doesn't drain battery via google play services.
Battery drain for the past couple of days
I have been experiencing long battery drains for the past one week. Every alternate day , the battery drains from 75 or 80 to 0% in less than a couple of hours. Don't have an idea which is the culprit for this. Any help on what to do?

Probably location services. Until it gets fixed, I'm just keeping location services off, and turning on as needed. Not ideal, but it works.
There's a conversation about it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/development/rom-resurrection-remix-t3334655
I've tried all the ROMs, messing with location services, greenify and all that, and in the end I've opened a support ticket with Oneplus. It turns out my battery was faulty, got the phone back, flashed RR ROM and I'm back to 4-5% drain overnight, instead of 50-60%. Also battery no longer drains when the phone is switched off.
I had it on pre-order, so I guess they had some issues with the first devices, which are hopefully fixed now.

Same problem here on Cm. Just charge your phone until 100%,calibrate your battery by deleting batterystats.bin via twrp or with a battery calibration app. I did calibrate my battery two days ago and besides phone was charged 100%, after calibration shew 87%. After this you will see just an improvement.....

In your position i would try vova vafin cm, do a full charge and let it plus 1 hour on 100%, charging... Then battery calibration by myself via twrp, just delete batterystats.bin, restart phone and see if it's 100%. If not let it charge, if yes see if something has changed.

Try vova vafin cm12.1
Flash this twrp, it's just perfect: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwdRTuyj12_yR2xMREVkZnBacDA/view
In order to calibrate the battery via twrp you have to:
boot into TWRP recovery
/advanced/File Manager/
folder /data/system/
click batterystats.bin
click Delete
reboot system
If, after all these, problem with battery still exist, then consider of buying a new one

This is similar to what is happening to my RN2.http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/help/uptime-recovery-shutdown-0-battery-t3497868
With last charge it did ~1:45 SOT on normal usage.
After it shut down, I restarted and it was at 2% and I watch a video for 45 minutes before it went off again
Finally I did 30 minutes on TWRP with 50% screen brightness.
Which ROM are you using?
EDIT:
can you do the test with recovery?
After it shut down:
- boot into recovery
- set the screen brightness to 50% if you can
- time how long it remains on

guys i have a redmi note 3 running stock miui 7.3.6.0 global stable
i am experiencing terrible battery drain on my device
last night i charged my phone to complete 100% and used it foer an hour
with 92% left .
i switched of wifi greenified all the apps and cleared all the ram but still when i wake up i found the battery to be 67
thats a 25% drain overnight. this has become everyday story and even in daytime my battery continues to drain like this even when i dont use it
guys i dont have any kind of data activity running in the background no sync or anything like that but still my phone does not go to sleep
and Android Sytsem and Android are always keeping my device awake
they have a usage of 38-40% always
can someone please help me fix the problem
guys anyone with a solution plz help me out here
Reset to Stock and Check if the Problem persists. If Not login to google playstore and slowly install your apps step by step to check which apps force the battery drain...
Bro plz suggest some solution which does not require resetting the phone
I really don't want to get hassle of backing up the 20gb data
And restoring it back
The only issue is android system keeping device awake all the tym
Try turning off location for a test, see if drain goes away.
Seems like stock MIUI roms nearly always have a battery drain problem for some devices.
Bugs in 7.3.6.0 global stable for RN3 <<< Battery drain.
Normally I would suggest updating your rom, but seems like it is still a problem in 8.0.2.0. Which was suppose to resolve it from 8.0.1.0.
[Discussion] battery drain in 8.0.2.0 .
If your rooted try installing Wakelock Detector. Charge your phone fully. Unplug and see what is reported overnight.

bro if i was rooted then i would have checked for wakelocks but aince i am not rooted i cant d o that
i wish installing custom rom on this device was easy but its very difficult for a noob loke me with no knowledge of twrp and adb
i have never been able to gather the courage to even unlock the bootloader of my phone because official method sucks and fails at 50% and unofficial ones are risky
Bro Lte network consume more power than 2g aur 3g..
bhai everything is turned off
m talkin abt battery drain when device is idle and no app is active
25% in 8 hours is way too much
No choice man, you have to do a full reset and then slowly reinstall apps to see what drains the battery. I would do a fastboot flash using Miflash and then unlock the bootloader to get rooted.
I'm on the latest Xiaomi.eu ROM and I'm getting 10 hours screen on time. With Greenify, I get <1% drop per hour on standby, with full sync running for a bunch of apps.
I am also having this same issue on Xiaomi.eu LP rom.
Resetting isn't solving anything and it's not b'coz of any app that I have installed, it is the system itself that is causing this issue
Last night I full charged my phone and went airplane and when I woke up it was on 89%
I have also tried xposed deep sleep battery saver to no vail
Right now I have no idea on how to solve this, I am looking for a ROM where I could use atleast use the jio4g voice, so that can use jio.
thanx for helpin me out with the suggestions guys
i found some.ways to fix the problem without resetting the phone in this guide
http://en.miui.com/thread-339815-1-1.html
although i had already disabked most of th3 things mentioned in this guide but still point no 4 was the only thing that i had to do and bam
android and android system both dropped to 15% and phone went on sleep
just 2 % drain in 8 hours
i suggest anyone with battery drain problem to once refer to this amazing thread
That's much...have you tried turnig off find me..
location to battery saver.
Ambient display off.
Sync off
Cloud off
Flash using MIFLASH tool and wipe everything off
From my experience, this is the only way to solve problem
I also had extreme drain and turns out that phone wasn't entering in deep sleep mode and was staying awake all the time
I tried several different roms (Cm13/miui), flashed custom kernels and the problem was still there no matter what i did
As i mentioned above wipe everything off, there is no way around
Hello everyone!
I bought my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus in january this year. Since then I've been more than satisfied with this device. I was using Resurrection Remix v6.1.0 for a couple months when I started to see that my battery was draining faster and faster... Firstly, my phone could charge up to 98%, then it would stop charging... Then there came issues with screen on time... I was barely getting around 5 hours of screen on time. I quickly wiped everything and flashed DotOS which had even worse battery life for me... Now I'm on MIUI 10 Global Beta and things aren't getting better... As you can see by the screenshots in the attachments, my battery is performing terribly. Moreover, 96% seems to be maximum value for my battery since I can't charge it more than that... Can someone give me an insight of what might be going on with my phone?
Unlocking the bootloader and installing custom roms might cause troubles for you and affect the performance.. you should know that.
It seems you are using 4G which drain battery faster than wifi as it appears in your screen.
Check for wakelocks, if [Timerfd] and netlink wakelock exist (with high alarms/wakelocks), then you need to reconnect the battery cable.
i get the same issues on my R5P which i bought back in May. when in install any MIUI rom, it seems that Android System is draining most of the battery.
at first i was getting 5-6 hours SOT. now i struggle to get 3-4 hours with the same usage.
i am currently on crdroid and max battery charge is 98%.
how difficult is it to open the device at reconnect the battery?
i had the same wakelock problem after instaling orange fox recovery and rooted oreo miui 9.
the only solution to wakelocks was to flash with test point method.
it was a very easy process.
for opening the back cover i have used 2 or 3 bits of plastic cutout form water bottle. use scisors for cutting plastic from water bottle.

A recovery has nothing to do with wakelocks in your ROM.

After some testing several forum users reached the conclusion that test point isn't needed. Disconnecting battery is sufficient.
Test point method implies disconnecting the battery.

flashed 9.8.1.25 beta
I had to do the test method because I have locked my bootloader by mistake and then got a bootloop.
but the wakelock problem has gone
I dont know if orange fox caused the wakelocks but I got those wakelocks like in the first post picture after using orange fox for rooting oreo miui 9.
After that I tried flashing nougat 9.5.4.0 , formating data, doing all the wipes , factory reseting then restoring my backups with twrp but the wakelocks were still present.
only test point method helped me get rid of wakelocks.

yes, i disconected the battery but I had to flash with the test point method because of a bootloop and locked bootloader by mistake.

use wakelock detector app.
kernel option
i had the same problem before, just discharge your battery to 0% i mean take time until your phone won't boot up and then wait an hour, then charge it for maybe 6 hours (i let mine overnight)
and repeat 3-4 times
if that doesn't work try to calibrate your battery/
good luck!
i just took the back of the phone off, disconnected the battery, reconnected it, booted it up and it charged to 100% in crdroid. testing battery life now.
Thanks for the replies. I'll most probably try the testpoint method and tell you if it worked for me.
Regarding the wake locks, app says that my phone is awake almost 70% of the time even though I used for around 2 hours in a 24 hour period... My phone is going from sleep to awake state every couple of seconds...

Tell us your results after testing
Hey.
IDK if this is going to help but here you go:
Yesterday I flashed via recovery the MIUI 10 Global Stable update for vince, working more flawlessly than Global Betas. I have tested a lot of ROMs for vince and always noticed that MIUI even 9 or 10 has worst battery than PE or any other Android Stock rom (8.1) for vince.
With this MIUI update things changed and I'm having the same statistics (or even better) as Android Stock roms for vince, now I've changed some settings before telling you this.
1- Installed MIUI Hidden Settings.
2- Opened Battery Optimization.
3- Selected all the apps that I could optimize.
Did that this morning (around 8 am) and I'm having this SOT.
Note: Mine is only charing to 98% idk why.
Want best battery life, Miui 10 Stable is shockingly best super smooth and best battery ever. The rom.
is even smoothest of all the custom roms i have tried. It is weird but Miui Stable release for Redmi 5 plus is a amazing ,

Thanks For Tips
As Per My Thinking Android System Higher Point for Battery Drain In Your Battery Uses Screenshot That Means Some Inbuilt App Use Battery
Ok so i had some problems with my battery draining fast with very little screen on time about 4-5 hours. What i did is opened the phone, disconnected battery cable, left it like that for a minute or two. Then i flashed the latest global miui 10 stable official stable rom using mi flash and flashed all data. Now my battery is once again amazing like when i first bought the phone! I get about 10 hours sot
So I opened the back of my phone and disconnected then reconnected the battery. While the back of the phone was opened, I did the test point method and entered EDL mode. I connected my phone and Windows installed the needed Qualcomm drivers. I opened MiFlash tool to try to flash the latest MIUI global stable ROM, but it always said there was an error. The error was that it couldn't receive the "hello" packet. So, unable to fix this error, I booted the phone and entered fastboot mode then flashed latest global stable ROM. Battery life improved just a tiny bit. Still getting subpar battery life with around 3-4 hours of SoT. Am I missing something or what? I am unable to believe that I managed to damage my phone's battery in less than 10 months since I don't use it for gaming.
Anybody got a clue on what to do?
