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)

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.

Lol I already do it, with those settings you've said I get much more screen on time (aprox. 7/9h). Forgot to say that screen on time was by 3d gaming with bluetooth gamepad or/plus bluetooth earphone.

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..

Recently the digitizer started acting up on my vzw G2 so I bought another phone. Without a need for the g2, I just let it sit and noticed that it didn't die very quickly. Once it was around dead I checked the battery and it turns out it had over 100 hours off charger with 2 hours, 2 minutes of SOT. It was on wifi/lte during those 2 sot hours and on wifi only while it was just sitting. That impressed me and I just thought I'd share it.

The phone was receiving notifications from messenger and email, etc the whole time and the led was pretty much always blinking. Stock unrooted lollipop ota with no battery saving measures. The battery saver kicked in at 15% battery automatically.

I recently noticed that putting the G2 in 2G only saves a lot of battery: I can get 5 days with 3h of screen time now! That is with very light use (a bit of browsing/email/calls/gps): gps/bt/wifi normally off, but Autosync gmail/Touchdown/Whatsapp on, at night data is turned off for 8h. I can easily live with 2G for data during a work week, since most places have wifi anyway, and I can manually switch to 3G when faster data connection is needed on the road.
On 3G (I don't have 4G) I can only get 3d standby max., with 3h screen time with the same usage pattern. I had noticed this on my SGS4 before (battery was bad eitehr way), but I was shocked to see it makes such a huge difference on the G2. I also have a Jiayu G4S (Mediatek, except for GPS a good experience) and with that 2G/3G does not make any difference at all.

As in 20 hours screen on time. The screen waa set to never turn off but was on lowest brightness
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
Running stock unrooted. Android 7....what's everyone getting for battery life. Mine sucks. Getting around 3 hours screen on time. Android OS is using as much as the screen is.

Same thing here after updating. Android OS is currently at the top with 10% followed by Android System with 9% in my phone at the moment. System is draining more than the screen. Weird.
Same here. On DP5 battery life was better for me.
same for me, system and Android on top, weird.
What's the reported "Keep Awake" time for those processes? Right now, for me, is Screen on top with 10%, Android System and Android OS next with 8% each. However, the keep awake time is only 3m41s and 11s respectively. That doesn't look too bad, actually.
The OS requires almost a week to settle. Calm your tits.

I installed it last night and so far today I'm at 3% per hour after 9hr25min elapsed. This only has an hour of screen time but that includes about 20 HDR photos (which in MM would have KILLED my battery), BT and WiFi are both on continuously but not connected, GPS is on high accuracy, screen timeout at 1 min, several reboots cycles (trying to figure out how to wipe the cache), etc. In other words, I'm on track for a 30+ hour day, and I'm not doing one thing to try to conserve the battery. Granted there's not much SoT so far but still, I'm impressed. Even more so because tribal knowledge seems to think that the OS needs a few days to "settle down" before true battery life can be assessed. I'm not sure I really buy into that but if it is true, the battery endurance should be stunning...
Have been getting the same results in the Beta and now with final release having the same problem./ Battery life is no good. And doze doesn't seem to kick in even at night. Android os and Android System taking as much mah as the screen. Not good.

Here's what mine's doing so far. Note that it seems to Doze more or less the instant the screen shuts off.
Same issue here, battery life isn't super impressive.
These don't have much meaning without context: How are you using them? How much SoT? Are all the radios on? Etc...
Did factory reset. See if it helps. I'll post after it, "settles in"
Doze seems to kick in, but I don't know whether made it more or less aggressive than before (I'm guessing less), where battery gains are now, and how they're spread out. On MM, I was getting the typical 2-3% drop every night. For the past three nights with N, the drop is 5-6%.
Received the device a few hours ago and updated to N.
All default settings, no additional app.
No 3G/lte as I don't have yet a nano sim.
Bt is on but not connected.
Positioning is on battery saving.
Screen brightness is at 33%.
After 40mn of web surfing with wifi, or playing with the menus I lost 6%.
I'm happy with that :good:

Quick question how did you update so quickly if you just got it?
My second cycle but this time with Ninja Kernel and some kernel tweaks. With sync and location enabled the whole time. Lots of web browsing, video streaming, plus a few minutes of gaming and phone calls. It's not spectacular but not too terrible for me either.
Mine isn't bad. Updated from DP5 using OTA in TWRP.
Unencrypted, rooted, with EX kernel and some CPU profile.

Getting about an hour less sot on nougat than m.
They seemed to have fixed the performance issues of m by sacrificing screen on battery life.

Good. I'm getting a consistent 6hrs+ SOT on average usage.
Battery life is excellent getting 6hrs+ sot with jio network and 64 GB card. Really impressed with 3080 mAh battery.
6hr+ sot with 18 to 25hr of standby and with 2hr + voice
First discharge cycle
1 hr of voice calling apart from the screen on time

Well I guess that you can try to reflash the ROM with preserving data, wait couple of days and see if it gets better.
Or your signal reception is very bad.

First impressions - battery
With my old Samsung S5, if I wanted to play games at night, I needed to charge it in the end of the working day. With Redmi 5 plus I only charge when I go to sleep and it still has around 45 to 50% of available battery.
Before this I owned a redmi pro phone with 4000mah battery and I have to charge the phone about two to three times a day and with rn 5+ have to charge after one day of haves usage
42,5 hours from battery, 8 hours and 38 minutes screen-on-time

Update on screen on time
I have changed to global ROM (I was using the Chinese with English language) and it seems that the battery drains a little bit faster then before. Still it's enough for a day. At the end I have around 30%.
Not bad
From 90 percent. Miui 9.2.13.0.
Mine only 2 days
Only wifi and some music.
Very nice.
On LTE whole day
In my experience no matter what your android is you need to charge it at the day end. As for mi note 5 with calls, gaming and networking it reaches bottom by day end.
The screen on time is very good!! It minimum last me for 6 hours if I'm use it with very heavy gaming and 9hours I get in maximum SOT with normal use.
Note: I'm a heavy user! Facebook, Instagram, wechat, whatsapp, Twitter, dragon nest m, crusader quest, and etc. More than 80app in my phone.
Awesome and very impressive battery life on the Vince!
Just got my device a day ago. Charged it up to 100% and then updated apps/ OS.
My usage is limited to YouTube, Telegram and some light gaming only as this is my secondary device.
Mostly on WiFi. Using a Jio sim for data.
Not rooted and no battery optimisation done yet.
I guess I am the first user to post SOT on custom ROM.
I really hate MIUI!
I've been using the latest Liquid Remix and I am very pleased!
