Hi guys,
I've a problem and I need some advice.
I've a Kenzo since last October and it's a great phone. I've always used the miui since last month then I've tried some customs ROMs.
My problem is that, with the miui my battery usage was 10% each sot hour and for this reason I could easily reach 8-10 hours sot. The main reason was that I use my phone only for WhatsApp, sync disable, battery saver GPS, no 4g connection and auto brightness disabled.
Last month I read a lot of forums and I read that you could reach ROM the same (or more) sot hours using a custom instead of the miui.
So, for this reason and because I'd like to customise more my phone I decided to flash a custom ROM.
In this last period I've tried ROMs like RR, Nos and lineage os, each in stable and beta version and I combined it also with some stock kernel like Agni and radon. I've always flashed them wiping everything (cache, data, system, internal storage). I also cleared battery stats with Agni toolbox
My problem now is that, with the same usage I used with miui, my battery drains 18% each sot hour. That means that my battery now drains twice faster with the miui.
I don't think that it could be a problem of the battery deterioration: I always pay attention to charge it when it's among 20-40% until it 100%.
My purpose is to reach the same miui battery backup with a custom ROM (I love the possibility to costumize and I'd like to have recent Google os).
In your opinion, it could be possible?
Thanks a lot!!!!
I only have 5-7h sot with latest RR. For me the battery backup at MIUI was better.... But I hate MIUI so far.

Hi there. I've Redmi Note 3 Kenzo for a month now. I've problem with my phone battery backup. It have very poor standby time. Even when I'm not using my phone it continuously looses 2/3 percent of battery per hour i.e around 40-50 % in a day . I usually turn off data, wifi , GPS etc after using even though its the same. I tried MIUI 8 Global as well as Chinese (Both stable and Beta version), even downgraded to MIUI 7 on various version, used eu.xiaomi ROM, MultiROM etc but still there is same problem. In some custom ROMS like CM 13 and RR Remix there is a bit improvement in standby time but not as it must be in 4100 mah battery. As I like using MIUI than custom ROM so my problem is still there. I am tired of flashing various ROM every now and than. Does anyone facing same problem. Can anyone help me and suggest some ways of solving this problem. Any help will be highly appreciated. Hope someone will Help. Please................

+1,
i am too tired of flashing this and that ROM,but battery is too horrible for me ,mostly with miui ,I get only 5-6 h sots with miui,
however my experience with nougat cm is quiet satisfactory ,it gives at least a reasonable sot,if u find something pleaaase pm me too.
It's most likely an app that is causing this. Are you able to see if the phone is going into deep sleep?

I tried Wake Lock Detector but couldn't find any app causing the problem. I even tried Greenify and Amplify app but no improvement. It seems its Problem In MIUI Rom cause using custom ROM i get a bit improvement in standby battery life. Any suggestion can you give like Which version of MIUI Rom is better for battery life.
Is there anyone who can help? Please.....
I'm currently on xiaomi.eu rom 6.11.3 (since it is the only one that allows for use of custom kernels with goodix at this time) and I get what I feel is good battery life. You could try this ROM if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for your reply. But i already tried that Rom. And yes i have officially unlocked bootloader. I usually get satisfactory SOT but my only problem is standby time. Battery is decreasing constantly even without using my phone. Currently using RR Remix Rom and getting a bit satisfactory result but i really like MIUI so I'm looking for a fix. Thanks again.

Use nitrogen os...its the best for battery backup or if u want amdroid 6.0 use exodus...
Use stock kernel with nitrogen os and use radon with exodus

Every custom Roms gives same battery life.

Stick With Stock Rom.
Use Greenify. Restrict Background Processes And Uninstall Unimported Applications. It Will Help To Save More Battery Juice. And It will Make Ur Battery Last Longer.
Set your phone in plane mode and keep screen off.
This way your battery life last longer.
True story.
More Seriously, all roms have approximatively the same battery backup, including stock rom.
For the same usage, my battery last the same time with Stock Miui as with Lineage OS.
Hi, i think my cell have a battery drain. I running RR rom 5.8.3. Redmi note 4x. Very high battery usage in the system. Should I change kernel? What is the best? Tks
help?
did you clean flashed rom? try wiping and flashing rom again
If you wanna try a kernel, velvet kernel is battery friendly, if you tweak the governor properly

Unless my understanding of Portuguese is wrong, you seem to have 66% left, after 4 hours of use. That is 8.5% per hour. If you were using your phone actively during those 4 hours, it seems that you will get about 11 hours SOT, which sounds pretty good to me. If your phone was not being used at all during these 4 hours, then that would be pretty bad.

You should get more than 4 hours SOT - and the screenshot that you gave in the OP shows that you would get at least double that. I am not sure how your battery can go from 66% (as show in the OP) to 1% in less than an hour. Right now, you leave us guessing about too many things. It is not clear how exactly you are using your phone, how many apps you have installed, what are they, what exactly are they doing, how you have tested your battery to determine your SOT, etc.
To find out what is the problem, think you first have to start with a clean ROM. As someone has said, do a clean flash first (wipe data, dalvik/ART, and cache, and flash the ROM). You should first backup your apps before doing that. Install "PCMark" from the play store, and run the PCMark battery test with the clean ROM. Then restore your apps. Then run the PCMark battery test again. Then we can see whether there is a problem.
By the way, here is a good way to test your battery drain.

I think 4hrs was not SOT and not the heavy usage either, because it shows top battery drainer was the system itself. I think solution to his problem is to try another kernel OR fresh clean install of ROM. If you do not want to handle apps and backup then may be just try kernel. I faced the same issue on RR because i did dirty flash (wipe: cache, dalvik, system only). I am using below mentioned kernel and it solved my problem. Plus i use kernel adiutor app to change cpu usage, but i have found that it has troubles sometimes. (i can't change values of max/min cpu speed & Governor settings, "sometimes")
kernel: faust v2.zip
app: kernel adiutor
rom: dirty flashed RR 5.8.3 (18/06) for mido

I too had some battery drain in RR.now on 18/6 build.
I did got about 5 hours on lte while i was traveling.
try updating to the 18/6.
And try faust v3.1 kernal.
tks dudes, i will try the tips!
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!
This only happens on AOSP roms? Not on Lineage OS?

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%.
Sent from my vince using XDA Labs
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

Please post a Log from Better Battery Stats. The only thing I can think of is that weak signal is draining your device's battery.

i have spent the last few hours looking for some info regarding battery life on the mi pad 4 and am about to just throw myself out the damn window! i keep reading about issues with the kernel and custom ROMs with no fix. some users report a 2% drop with custom ROMs while others swear MIUI is better or worse.
can anyone please give a clear answer as to what to do to conserve battery life? i currently on the latest arrowos and have a 12-20% battery loss over night and dont mind switching to a different rom.

Well I don't really use my mi pad 4 often, so basically it sits there idle. I lose around 4% per 24 hour in idle using carbon rom. Not sure which xiaomi build I used for firmware /vendor.
No battery tweaks, Bluetooth /WiFi /data always on

Well, sorry dude, I have no idea!!! Just spent ages goign through my pc files - newest xiaomi.eu rom I have is xiaomi.eu_multi_MIPAD4_8.10.25_v10-8.1.zip which has a file date of 07/11/2019, but I would assume I have flashed newer than that - vendor security patch is from 5 April 20
Latest MIUI xiaomi.eu I can see is here
I think you should try out crdroid. I've been a long time user of miui, from eu website. I tried most of the custom ones, was on bliss as daily driver before i finally settled on crdroid. It's got pretty decent battery life. The miui is very clunky in comparison and not worth the extra battery life (if any). Haven't tweaked any kernel parameters on this rom and device goes 2-3 days easy before needing a recharge. I use it mostly to read, browse, occasional video, check mail and occasional whatsapp video calls. I'm pretty satisfied with the battery
