Standby drain - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Awsome standby ability.Only losses 1 percentage barely when i wakeup morning

Not mine ?mine drain battery as it seems like screen is on all night!!!

Standby was high on miui and miui based roms and it was also high on 7 and 8 roms but the newest roms have the best standby time ever. Only 1 percent in 4 hours. WOW!

With Greenify, amplify and RR Nougat, standby time is crazy high. I get almost two days standby time.

I easily get about 4 days standby time without using any additional apps like Greenify or Amplify. I got this with Slim-ROM (Nougat) and I am getting it with Atomic-OS (Oreo).

Which ROM you are using?

I left MiUi for good. Some say you get 1-4 days standby. Well I got 1-2 days that I keep using the phone. 12 days standby with Lineage 14.1 ROM and franco kernel. MiUi is nice and packed with features but everyone will leave it for good if one wishes for ultimate battery and performance.
However this is only true for Snapdragon variants. If you have Mediatek well... You can be grateful that your phone gets 1 day standby. It's a power hungry wolf. I sold my Mediatek to buy a Snapdragon. Never regretted.

Is miui9 good or custom ROMs?
Sent from my mido using XDA Labs

Mine only drains 1-2% at night (~8-9 hrs standby). Try turning off "double tap to wake up" to get best standby time.

It's okay. If you really want to stick with miui then I advise you use Xiaomi Eu roms.

please help me after my redmi note 4 dropped in water but its in working condition now only some water spots are visible on the scree but the touch is fine but 9% of battery is drained at night (11pm-7am) when i am sleeping and not using my phone but it was not like this before it got in water ,only 1% battery was dropped at night as the same time above

Any advice on how to check if my battery is damaged or toast? I've turned off pretty much everything and the battery is draining like crazy whether in use or not. I'm lucky to get around 2 hours of SOT now.
Not sure if I need a new battery or maybe a new phone.

If your battery was damaged it would heat like hell not just drain. It also depends on the variant if SD or MTK. MTK drains 5x faster than SD. Also miui 7-8-9 weren't very well optimised and drained my battery very fast. MiUi 10 beta on SD variant gets almost a day of screen on time which is really good. One or more day with moderate usage. I use my SD with Lineage os and kud kernel and lasts 8-12 days without charging if I use the phone wisely.

[Q] normal battery drain rate for CM7.2?

I got a battery app installed which shows % in the top bar. It stays at 100% for a while but when it starts draining with the screen on I lose about 1% every 1-2 minutes, I think its somewhere in between, if I am taxing the cpu it more frequeent than every minute, this would give me about 2-3 hours usage which seems extremely low.
Brightness is min.
wifi/3g off.
auto sync off.
accuweather is installed (mentioned as it has a service running).
I get the drain simpley from doing things like scrolloing app drawer and checking sms.
With screen off in sleep mode battery drain is ok less than 5% in 12 hours. I have this issue confirmed on 2 different batteries.
If this is normal fine, I just want to compare to others on this.
I used to get around 1 day for heavy use ( like wifi, games, etc.) and 1.5 to 2 days for moderate use Which ROM are you using ??
Cm7 based roms use more battery than stock, cuz also their performance is a lot better.
Use uot Kitchen to get the % battery instead of an app.
Also the launcher u use affects battery. ie Go launcher drains plenty of battery.
If you can't squeeze a day's worth of battery from ur phone ur probably using it too much (how much does a laptop last on battery, seriously!)

you mean a day of constant use screen on or would there be periods of it sleeping?
My phone lasts more than a day mostly 3-5 days but thats mainly because its idle most of the time. However I plan to transfer some tasks to it and it seems I will need to keep the charger in during the day.
Compared to stock CM I think isnt too bad, the drain was also bad on stock with the screen on and during calls but the only reason I specified CM is that I didnt have the % meter on my stock rom which means I dont have the same comparison.
My current rom is vo-1's 30 may build. I had bugs on official nightly that vo-1's resolved (including force reboot when using market) so is the reason I am using it.
Incidently my laptop drains its battery slower than my android.
Why I read that so many use thier phones like 2 days, and I can't even get a 12 hours fair use.
I use 2G (3g drains my battery really quick), some whatsapp, some FB and some calls. Music it's only in the morning on my way to work.
I've buy a new battery from ebay, but, it's the same. Using CM 7.1 rom "The End 4.0"
yeah my hunch seems right that it wasnt overall much diff to stock (that also drained superfast when screen on). IN fact during sleep it seems improved over stock.
I am over 4 days at the moment with 35% charge left. mostly sleep. It lost 3% during the time it took me to fetch the below stats. Note that calls like my earlier hunch as well seem to drain battery far more than display.
4 days 8 hours 38% left
display on 40mins used 4%
voice calls on 1hr 5mins used 33%
mobile standby 41% 4hrs 8 mins
phone idle 4days 7hrs 23%

Surely, you're not using WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, handling e-mails or any of the like. If you're just using the SGA like a normal phone, OF COURSE it can give you that kind of performance. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

He barely touched his phone Anyone can get 5-6 days like that! And being on Stock, it's extremely probable.
Well mate you can't expect battery on a cm rom. Performance and good battery isn't an option on cm. Performance is great on cm but battery, nah!
Sent from my Galaxy S IV
yeah sadly it seems noone has a comparison that I need.
Which is time needed for 1% usage whilst screen is on.
This isnt on stock tho the phone is on CM7.2 vo-1 build.
From what I see the battery life is around the same as stock.
Now I am over 5 days with 17% left. Just did a phone call and it stayed at 17%. When below 20% on stock the phone was unuseable.

Screen on time

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 honor 5X before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The longest I've gotten was just under 6 and a half hours with 9% battery left when I plugged in
Sent from my KIW-L24 using XDA-Developers mobile app
8 hr screen on time with moderate use
Great battery life
If I use my honor 5x moderately, I get around 5.5-6 hrs SOT. under heavier use it's usually 3-4 hours.
also battery would last a full 24-hr day with normal use and recharging would take ~3hrs.
Wow, this 5x is a beast on SOT.
5.5hours of sot 4me on average usage
Giving me 1 day usage
just pulled 5hrs sot
dual sim mode,
4g active
hostsopt and vpn was active around 1hr
rest all goes to insragram and xda app and some gaming
That's fantastic
The battery has been extremely amazing, I got this phone and got rid of my Nexus 5x. It was an upgrade in this category.

Yep you're right, but the nexus has an advantage of direct support from google (which results in a better dev support) and front facing speakers

Hence why I said in this category
I do understand
Best one so far, 7.5 hours. Location, 4G, lots of browsing. Running B350. I don't know if that amount of awake time is normal - like my phone isn't sleeping unless I turn wifi off...
Now With 4G ON 24 x 7, I'm getting a day exactly on normal usage.
With my stock 2A charger, it gets charged by 2hrs.
moving post to correct thread.
Quite good
With a lot of ROMs ( RR, crdoid,...) getting 4h30/5h SOT with still 30% left.
Of course i use forcedoze and frooze some system apps like devtools,inputdevices,timeservice and keychain.

Gives me 2 days
I figure this will shake some things up. The attached screenshot speaks for itself, 100% legitimate. The SOT on this one wasn't much, it was 3 hours I believe, but I could be wrong. I'm an abnormal user, I turn my wifi/cell/gps off when not in use. I generally don't use my cell phone a whole lot.
There was one time were the phone had been on for two days and the SOT was 9 hours I believe. But again I could be slightly wrong, it was awhile ago.
Seems like a good battery life
With beanstalk ROM, i got 0% drain for 10-12 hours in flight mode.
Stand by is very good.

nice :good:
With the use of Amplify, I get 0% drain overnight.
even with stock, i can have drain of only a few digits.. max of 3 to 4
Near zero standby drain at night
Last night I got 0 drain overnight.
Since all my reviews are based on experience from EMUI, I noticed about 4-6% battery drain over night even when using Greenify to disable to most 3rd party apps. I don't know if I should complain about it because that phone is using dual SIMs. Rating for it is 6/10.

I noticed unusual battery drains when I unboxed it. Charged it to 100% and then would drain quickly until 50% in just about 35mins and then it would work somewhat better. It was their huawei awful software.

Almost the same story here. I had to use my phone with so much precaution so that battery doesn't drains quickly. I hated every bit of EMUI.
TBH, I am not a 'fan' of every phone company. For that reason, I may open mine in about 6-7 years with my friends. They always add one thing and exclude 2 things from the phone.

Weird battery indication issues

I am using the Miui 8.0.1. stable Rom from xiaomi.eu
The battery indications are strange. The number gets low quick, it falls from 100% to 1% in a short period, and I am not doing much on the phone. It takes like 5-6 hours to go to 1 or 0% but when I take the battery out and put it in again and switch on the phone, all without charging it, then suddenly the battery shows like 56%. How can that be? It is quite annoying and makes no sense. The indication is not reliable at all. I don't even know how much battery is really left. Please help

Do you do it every time after charging your battery? How do you calibrate it?
Even after battery calibration, battery drain is still present. This has something to do with Redmi Note 2 having problems connecting to 2g, 3g and 4g cell towers and WIFI chipset.

I'm using the last stable miui 7 by xiaomi.eu and the 20 firsts minutes was consuming a lot, after this firsts 20 min it's working very well. I'm on 60 % after one day, with very few use, it's working very well for me.
I have detected that using the original charger causes the problem in my case.
It's better to use a USB port from a computer or an old charger. I think the problem is with fast charge.

I did some tests, I wrote the results also on the official forum in the Feedback on Battery thread.
I always had problem with battery since I got my Prime on Oct. 2015, max ~2h SOT, even on MIUI 7.
I did a test without SIMs, wifi only and I reached ~4h SOT.
Then I did a test again with SIMs and data (set to 3G), ~2h SOT again.
And another test wifi only, ~4h SOT again.
Can someone repeat the same test?
100% to ~15% on data -> ?h SOT
100% to ~15% on wifi -> ?h SOT

Redmi note 4x Qualcom- Poor battery life, 10-15% discharge at night

ROM: Resurrection Remix Oficial RR-O-v6.0.0-20180314-mido-Official
Firmware: Last Stable fw_miui_HMNote4XGlobal_V9.5.4.0.NCFMIFA_aaade14a88_7.0

When i bought the phone, it came with 0% battery, i fully charged it before use. Its annoying because i think the battery may be damaged, all phones came with 60% battery more or less.
Deep sleep works great, see photos
On MIUI the battery was worse. Maximum 3h SOT, now 4-4,5h MAX with minimum brightness

Should i change battery? The phone has 1 week of use...
I'd say that get it checked from the xiaomi service center under your warranty. Even if the problem isn't real, it doesn't hurt to get it checked. You might even figure something out by that and anyways it's free
Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using XDA Labs
Reflash stock ROM, stock kernel, lock bootloader and check the usage for 2 days, while taking necessary logs for battery discharge. If the discharge rate is poor, get to the service center.
And yes, 0% battery is unusual especially for a built-in battery.

Clean flash your oreo rom. Try out other kernel, don't tweak anything. I use xenial 20x kernel. Then you can use magisk v16 for root. As under examination, install minimal set of your apps. Check for battery.
