If it really happens in every ROM then the battery drain is caused by some App you are using.
You also got a very bad mobile network signal. Try flashing Citrus CAF or even better xiaomi.eu stable ROM to improve your signal

Flash rr remix. There's a setting to turn on 2g when screen is off. Saves a ton of battery. Also, your network signal seems awful.

Did you flash a firmware?

Hi! Yesterday evening I installed the stable version of CyanogenMod 10.1.3 . I noticed that the battery is really poor. I use it for 3 hours and it fall down to 50% just texting and a little of facebooking. I used the betterbatterystats to see what was wrong. It report a. RILJ process using over the 70% of battery! Ho can I fix it? If you have installed the ROM did you notice this battery drain?

I didn't change nothing. I am in area where there's lot of signal infact my stock rom didn't use to have this battery drain.
I am facing the same problem, but don't know how to solve it, this rom is extremely fast but cause of battery drain i will go back to stock
I have the same issue.
I'm italian too and my operator is Wind.
Maybe we have to change the modem?

Hi,
I have the same problem, after 8 hours unused (Cyanogenmod 10.1.3) I have battery drain ~8%. :crying:
I returned to stock rom 4.1.2 (I9300XXELKC_I9300OXXELK4_XEO) and after 8 hours unused I have battery drain only ~2% !! :victory:
I checked Omega Rom, AOKP Rom and Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 all roms quickly drain battery
In my stock Android 4.1.2 I can use my phone ~3/4 days :good:
please help because Cyanogenmod is a great system but battery life terrible
greetings from Poland
Hi italian mates,
I have the same damn problem. I changed kernel, from siyah to boeffla to googy. Terrible battery drain around 8% in idle...
So is the CM that cause this...
Anyone tried Omni rom? I can't think of heading back to ToucjWiz

My operator is 3 with very poor signal
So its defenetly back to 4.1.2

someone has 0,5-1% battery drain in idle
and max 10% in use

On my phone unfortunately works best stock rom
I am on last neatrom 4.1.2 with siyah kernel. Extreme good battery life. 14hrs with heavynusage, 3hrs screen on
Italian here, same problem with cm.. but i can't came back to stock... cm its much smooth and fast... i think that i will try omni as some people have just 0,5% drain x hour in idle..

official cm 12.1 battery drain mi3w

has anyone tried the latest official cm12.1 build for mi3w? I'm facing battery drain problem,almost 2% every 2-3mins. The battery stats show the battery being used by Android OS. need ur reviews about the rom.
Nope.. Never get that.. Clean flash at full charge..

I was using XenonHD earlier and it was more battery-friendly rom. In CM i have drop around 7%/hour with light use.
You can try to disable bettery per app profiles - some say it might help.

Is CM responsible for battery drainage problem in Moto E?

Is CM responsible for horrible battery drainage problem like 60-80% to 0?
For investigating this I flashed cleanly CM lp based rom many times but no luck.
I turned back to CM 11 but again no luck.
Finally I flashed Carbon kitkat an AOSP rom and now the battery drainage is not like that as in CM i.e 100 -70 as normal and after that two or thee bump of 10-15% to from 70-0.
I know it may be battery issue and my moto E is 15 months old but I dont't think that in any type of branded mobile however low budget phone it is,the battery issue comes as early as in moto E.
Is it be the flashing problem as we testers flash different types of roms daily .
Then why this issue is not happening in carbon rom?
Please testers throw a light on that.
Thank you.:good:
Same query here.
Same problem here too dude..! Even I replaced with new battery...still the issue remains...
Yep...CM is responsible for the battery. If there's new features the device eats more battery....So, cm ****s battery but enhances performance and daily use.
Finally I flashed stock 5.1 optiised deodexed,lets see what's the result and I'll tell.
True, you are not the only one facing this problem.
I tried Official Cm 12.1 December build and the battery drain on standby was huge.
Now that we have official CM 13, it uses the same tree and hence the problem persists.
I am sure it is a bug but the bad part is it is not noticeable or else it would have been fixed by now.
Soltuion: Use Mokee ROM, which is official for our device and is based on AOSP instead of CM.
Note: Right now it is Lollipop and soon they will start Marshmallow nighties. I recommend using stable lollipop version.
I am using it for weeks and it has definitely the best battery life. SOT has jumped to 7 hours and the standby is also better.

Sure, try stock. I am 99% sure it is CM's problem as many people are facing the same problem.
After stock, try Mokee. It's really stable and has all the necessary features. And one more thing, the release version is odexed which means faster boot and more stability. It also has OTA updates.
Happy to help

I have a query.
i got satisfactory battery performance when not using the phone for anything other than calling. But the battery seems to drain quick in this ROM .
I'm using the cm13 Unofficial build for condor.
The battery usage stats show computed usage and actual usage. The actual usage is double the computed usage. why is that happening?
Sry, me so NOOB.

Guys...help me...I had the same problem..so flashed stock 4.4.4..unfortunately that didn't solve battery drain problem. Even got replaced old battery with new one at the service centre..now with official stock 4.4.4 battery drain is huge..I get around 5-8 hours max. Screen is consuming around 60% of the battery even at normal usage..please please help me..
I am currently using CM 12.1 Official Nightly (latest) and I experienced a very high drain in the battery level even though the Idle time was pretty high. Can anyone help me ?

This is surely due to excessive flashing attempts. I was literally flashing five to six ROMs a day? and my battery starts to give unusual drops from 15 to 0, 25 to 0 then it started to increase, from 40 to 0 (even on stock). So I replaced the battery with a new original one and it's working great now.
I also own another condor which is also running cm 12.1 and I mostly use to clean flash a new build every one or two month, and that device is still giving a battery life like as a new one.
PS. Bought both devices on 14 may 2014.
Anyone having WiFi disconnecting during sleep issue lately on cm12.1 and 13 ?
It usullay disconnects when device is at sleep for around 30 minutes or so and reconnects on waking up. Though the setting is enabled for WiFi connection during sleep.
Hit thanks if I helped you☺

Yes, I also think excessive flashing is responsible for the battery fault and it should be not due to CM.

Me 2 having the same problem!
First it all started by a bump of 10%-0%
Than it increased ..bump of 15%-0%
Than 20%-0%
I tried many ROMs still had the same problem! ..I read somewhere at XDA that lithium ion doesn't need full charge and overnight charging is harmful.. And can cause bumps ..
So I charged my battery to 75% and than I didn't got any bump ..as I tested till 3%..
So what I suggest is..those who are facing large battery bumps, do not charge overnight and charge till 80% and check ..
Yesterday I replaced my battery with the new one.
And no issues facing so far.
I think excessive flashing harms the battery.

Wakelocks on AOSP ROMs

I have tried pretty much all AOSP ROMs and I am finding that all of them have huge number of wakelocks. At night my phone is awake for about 1.5 to 2 hours out of 7-8 hours and drains 7-10% battery over this time. Even with clean install and only minimum apps installed.
In battery useage apps they show up as Kernel (Android OS) and Linage OS System in battery usage apps. Any idea how to find and resolve this?
same for me!

So this doesn't happen in stock rom? I'm getting my Redmi 5 Plus today and i plan to flash a custom rom because i don't like bloatware and gapps, but if this is a big issue i don't know if i should for now.

I don't think so. Stand by on Stock ROM was much better for me. Lost 0% overnight.
same happens to me.
Same for me.
same here. 1% lost every hour overnight, just mobile signal, no wifi, no bluetooth no gps
Try using AppOps to deny the following permissions for the apps you have installed - keep awake, auto start, run in background. Exclude messaging, clock and dialer apps from this procedure.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-0-0-hour-idle-battery-drain-stock-t2973588
These guides can help, but are most likely not longer necessary past Android 7.
I am doing a test by clean flashing, not installing any apps and not even installing Gapps to see if the same drain happens. Will report back.
Cleaned flashed, NO GAPPS, NO other apps, left phone for 8 hours, lost 8%. "Significant motion detector" was awake for 2.5 hours. Same wakelock on all ROMs, seems like an issue with this phone. I don't know if it happens on MIUI but I guess no?
It might be because all the ROMs are based on the initial work of mdeejay and tingyichen, as I understand it. All the AOSP ROMs are basically the same, only varying in tiny amounts of superficial stuff that is added to them.
Did you try the unofficial OmniROM build? It's the only non-Lineage ROM that's developed from scratch (by ex-CM devs), and to me it does feel different than all the rest, in a positive way.
use better battery stats for understanding the culprit. i am on 8.1 AEX and overnight drain is 0.5%. 0n miui it was 1%.

What phone do you have ? 3/32 or 4/64? And what baseband firmware? I ask because I had same 1% per hour drain on aex too. I wonder if having encryption on makes a difference?
I am tired of trying new roms and kernels but all behave the ssme. 35% time awake

Battery drain and firmware relation?

Hi there!
I love fresh stuff so updates of ROM, kernel and firmware are must have for me. For the better and for the worse. It happened for the worse. I've been waiting a year for stable pie roms to appear that have zero screen wake delay and Syberia was the only room with EAS support. I thought why not. So flashed Syberia Latest in may of 2019 and latest stable, global firmware from xiaomifirmwareupdater. I was very satisfied with Syberia's experience and even more it's kernel performance that I didn't have to flash a custom kernel. I've been using the rom till yesterday for about 3 months and always flashed newer updates of Syberia and opengapps pico. My mido device started to drain battery much faster. Even that much that for example when I wake up at 6:30 am and arrive at work for 8:00 10-20% battery juice is already drained even though all I did was read comics in a simple reader. Tried to solve the issue but after all my mido device is 3 years old. got the conclusion that my battery sadly went broke. Still it was extremely annoying for me that I can't read comics for more than 7 hours during my shift (I'm a seasonal pool warden so I do nothing from 8:00 to 20:00) because my phone's battery dies no matter how I try no to let it. I've had enough so I changed rom and even firmware. Flashed latest China stable firmware which arrived in july and latest Pixel Experience. See wonder now my battery drains way slower and the phone shows me that it can run for 1 day and a bit more from 100% to 0%. I'm so happy and relieved that there isn't anything wrong with my battery.
I want to find out what caused the extreme drain. I really do. Could you guys please help me find the cause? Was it the previous firmware? Syberia updates? The stock kernel? The opengapps packages?
I have a few clues but I hope there are others with more knowledge on battery factors. Thanks a lot in advance.
Maybe kernel and apps usage. You should check the in battery statistics it may mobile network standby.

I used better battery stats all the time and it showed nothing unusual. Not on Syberia, not on PE. Furthermore I used Migrate app so I have every single app on PE that I had on Syberia with exact same settings. Perhaps the high battery drain was caused by one of Syberia's system app? If yes shouldn't I've been able to see it in BBS? If it was caused by an user installed app shouldn't the problem migrate to PE as well with the apps? I still think firmware caused the battery drain but I can't belive something certainly based on my gut.

Perhaps yes. Perhaps no. I use BBS all the time and it never showed me unusual activity on Syberia. Furthermore I used migrate app so I have every single app on PE that I used on Syberia with the exact same settings but there is no bettery drain present. If user installed apps were the cause of battery drain shouldn't the drain migrated with them as well?
I still think it could have been a firmware issue.

I'd like to. I really do but I spent years on Oreo. Loved it but it was so hard for me to get used to Pie and I've waited like for a year for a working Pie rom that didn't had any issues not even screen wake delay. Now that I've migrated to Pie I'm not planning to go back...

Did you ever try to use a bugreport + Battery Historian (Google's own tool) to check what is using your battery? I put together a small article about it on Telegra.ph the other day. Which MIUI ROM's firmware are you using actually at the moment? Some ppl. says that in less LTE covered areas the firmware derived from global stable ROM V9.6.3.0 does a really good job. Did you try to up- or downgrade the firmware? Did you ever try to disable LTE and use 2G/3G preferred or 2G/3G auto mode?

No. I never hear about those tools. All I saw over the web was better battery stats and it was widely recommended. So I used that. I was using 2019/05/16 china firmware while the battery drain was noticeable. Now I'm on 2019/07/19 china firmware and the battery drain is gone. I dunno. Since I didn't find anything about cellular network signals causing the battery drain I didn't experiment with it at all. It's constantly turned on. Like for a year now. I'll try 9.6.3.0 stable firmware and report back how battery drain is.

I would never use the chinese firmwares on a global phone, especially when your are not in China.. I had issues in the past with some chinese firmware versions but never had any with the global ones (here in Hungary we use different carrier technologies than companies in PRC and as far as I know global is optimised differently for a different market, not for China).

I see. Good to know. I've been using chinese firmware for a good while now without issues. But I flashed the adviced 9.6.3.0 global stable now. I'll take your advice and stay away from China firmware. It'd only make sense.
