Hello all,
I have a rooted Z2 with xposed modules, amplifier, greenify etc and my battery life is terrible; about 2 - 3 hours SOT at max.
I would like to know if that's normal or if I can do something about it?
More info; I have LTE on all the time, adaptive screen brightness too

LTE kills battery life especially with my Z2. Have you replaced your battery? My hasnt been replaced so far but the battery is starting to drain a lot quicker nowadays so probably time to replace it
I didn't replace mine so far, but that's why I wanted to check before maybe doing it. I'll try disabling LTE
It cant be the LTE. For me my LTE is always on and i got 8-9 sot with playing games , hear music from spotify , twitter , E-Mail , YouTube and more. And i dont replace my battery any since the z2 was released.
I think thats Rom releated an services thats running backround with LTE use
I am also using lte I get around 4-5 hours of battery even sometimes 6 but my battery is brand new. I have Cr based xperia ui by M-Rom
Thanks guys for the answers, could you please tell me if your devices are rooted? I've heard conflicting reports about greenify and xposed.
Just waiting before making a factory reset, but I'm not sure it would help

Do you use any battery save "fixes", programs, kernel etc? And what ROM are you using currently? I have pretty bad SOT so i am curious.

Thats impossible if LTE was on and playing games you just can't get that kind of sot even the latests phones can't do that!
Nobody say that i Play Games. Daily use like by me Twitter, Music, Spotify, xda, Browsing
Here Akku was at 14%
How old is your battery? Mostly appears that your battery has disintegrated quite a bit, and there's cannot be any confliction between Xposed and Greenify. I have been using the combo since Android K and they have been serving me very well.
Since the Sirius was Released.

Is this really it for 3200 mah? Really disappointed... Especially with stamina mode on. is there some kind of Sony bug I am missing? Really don't understand the point of stamina mode if she barely beats a old moto x
I was expecting more than 20 hours with 5 hours of sot minimum. that's my standard because my 2013 moto x was able to do that with no problem.
Is there something I am missing here?
Stamina mode works only screen off but extendade useage limits resources and saves battery when screen is on
5hrs to 60hrs is my life range
5hrs constant use
60+hrs almost no use

Well i try to make my battery life as good as it can be
So i commonly avg about 1-2 days with about 2hrs SOT and about 8hrs total music time
I avoid ram cleaner, ram boosters, battery boosters
I avoid monitoring apps and any apps that can
I dont use stamina mode because my phone hardly ever sleeps
I dont underclock my cpu (no point)
All this i get 5hrs Minimum life and about 37hrs Avg Max life
I am using Xposed Amplify because it fixes that anoying google search bar battery drain
Im also using a hybrid firmware i made based on envi-rom (its 167 based but has the ril firmware of 3.12)

Uh...No gaming. lol Just music and some youtube at work. Background audio youtube. you must share your ways my son
Did you try a day without using LTE?
I have about 7,5-8h of screen-on-time with .167.
Unlocked the bootloader, removed everything I din't want (facebook, every google app exept for market, most sony apps), installed adaway and the injected my own DRM-keys back and flashed the stock sony kernel. All features are working (boinZ, noise cancelling, widi etc) and I'm pretty happy with my battery lifetime. It's my most longlasting phone for now and I had several nexus devices and a Oneplus One. I think Sony did a really good job with the stamina mode and data queueing.

Its Sony's stock room, .167 firmware, there's no trick, I just disabled some bloat, greenified some apps, turned auto sync and google now off, i enabled stamina mode with extended usage although I have 4 social apps whitelisted.
And that's pretty much it. I normally use the phone for social apps, YouTube, web browsing, watching movies etc, nothing too demanding. I guess that's why I always get great screen on time.

no way, this stamina mode does nothing, this working only on screen off.. i have now .314 and about 1%/5min on screen on (web browsing, facebook, whatsapp, messenger etc.) this is good? i think, 15%/hour on full screen..

Actualy it does
Extended usage limits the display refresh rate, underclocks the cpu, and underclocks the GPU
While the rest of stamina mode only bothers with screen off

Battery life is an extremely wide topic. For example, I use greenify with exposed support, I uninstall unnecessary system apps, I control devices wakelocks regularly etc etc.. As I said so many things to do.

I agree, i heard that greenify can be effectively used once your device is rooted. So i see that u have rooted your device and hence you can able to uninstall system apps. I am in warranty period and i don't want to void my warranty . So any other solution would help ??
This is insane!
i have this phone for a year and half now, yesterday i decided to freeze google play services and play store to see if i could have some gain in battery life... and god, i got plenty!
before i barely get to 5h SOT, now i can reach 7h with wifi always on, and screen on auto in house light or cloudy outside light , also the standby is outstanding too.
you guys should try it for 1 day.
Yes, there is the inconvenient of some apps not working, but give it a try!
ps: i am on all stock kitkat 20h. (no greenify or anything)
am using playservices lollipop debloated,servicely,and amplify. screen auto brightness... battery at around 30%still left i can still gain more with a few other tweaks.

Yes, my battery has deteriorated over the last 6 months. I'm on 20H also. :highfive:
My record is 103h with 2h SOT but now I'm lucky to get half of that with exactly the same usage. Even though nothing special is showing up in my battery stats, I'm sure its something OS related that has got worse. :crying:

That's not because of either amplify or servicely. With only 9h uptime and 6 hours screen, the standby drain has almost 0 impact. Also, you have almost no apps using battery (only browser and whatsapp). Couple that with periods of static screen(where gram technology comes into play) and that battery life is quite achievable.
Most guys on the g2 with 7h+ sot are usually guys who use whatsapp and apps like that, probably due to the static screen when waiting for new messages and etc and the low cpu use when idle.

I used player , freedcam,photoshop express,browser,whats app, telegrampower amp some apps dont show up..
but am pretty sure amplify works it stops wakelocks and alarms to trigger at a certain time..
we all know that . and you cant compare with games or apps they drain battery at different rates.. of course play a game adn you wont get alot depending on the graphics 3d games work harder on cpu.. well i tweaked amplify more and am pretty sure am getting more time..
here is an example for standby.
0% in 6h.

Agreed. My stock LP G2 can last at least 5 hrs at 100% on stand-by with no tweaks at all. If I don't use Google voice, I will terminate google service in no time.
Also agree with OP. Google service is a major battery drain but that's life with google. I disable google service on my kids phone "Galaxy I" and recharge cycle is about a week or more compares to a day. They can still get online and the chat apps we use still works.
Can't freeze my google app.. My custum rom not allowed this... Always boot loop...
Hi! I own a RN4X for about 3 months. When i started using it I could easily get minimum 9h of SOT no matter what i was doing (usually im just watching youtube, listening to music and using browser). Now i can get barely 6h of SOT. No matter what ROM I am using or what kernel. Max 7h of sot. Are xiaomi's batteries so weak or just my device is kinda defective? Should i give it to warranty?
You are so spoiled.. there are barely any phones on the market that will give you 7hr SoT, also what you gonna say in warranty? That you have 2 hours less SoT? This guys in service center will face palm so hard..

That doesn't change thing that people i know still have 10h+ SOT on the same usage with that device after using it for a year. It just isn't normal that after 2 months my battery started to behave like its 2000mAh. And battery isn't my only problem. I've got a few bad pixels, headphones sometimes "unplugs" itself and phone starts to use speakers, awful signal in a big city (ofc only for me, i know many xiaomi users and their signal is pretty good in those areas)

There is no such thing as same usage between 2 people, 20% less screen brightness can give you 1 more hour sot if not more, different carrier = different signal = different battery life, there is thousands things like this which make battery life comparisons useless, dont be stupid.
Trust me, i've been using it on 40% of brightness and underclocked cpu to 1684Mhz. We all are using the same carrier. Our use is really comparable. I wouldn't post that if it was different.

try to do super clean flash... means you use OTG to flash... wipe all the partition on device, including the internal storage too....
My wife have been using mido since february and still got 10+ hours SoT, there is no performance or battery degradation. That makes me switch to mido too about a month ago... :laugh:
do not install use custom kernel, you see the long list of features but actually it's not necessary...
for example, Its absolutely not necessary to underclock the cpu... decreasing cpu clock will not increase battery backup.
When the cpu is slow, yes it will consume lower power on load... but It will need more time to load
When cpu is fast, yes it will consume higher power when on load, but it will go idle faster
calibrate battery usimg an app. you will any on play store. install any and calibrate. the must require root.

Hello guys,
My question is which ROM seem to be best for you in battery life? Im talking about my R3Pro(ido) device. I've been using xiaomi.eu's stables from beginning which has great 8h SOT, but now experiencing like 3h SOT with LineageOS 14 always updated with Xposed and all day data/WiFi on. Any ideas? Should I change back to MIUI?
Thanks

U can try:RR,SudaMod,Lineage OS 15 Unofficial or PixelExperience 8.1.
The UNTEST-20171122 version of Resurrection Remix N has the best battery life for both screen on and off time, hands down. Was a lifesaver in a recent job where I listened to hours of podcasts per day to keep sane. Keep away from Oreo ROMs for the time being, theyre still largely broken apart from PixelExperience (which instead has the fun problem of ridiculously fast battery drain.)

No. The only things I flash on my device are the ROM, GApps and Magisk. The battery usage when the screen is off is the prizewinner here. It rarely goes down more than 2% after being left for more than 2 hours, which is ideal for me. Still though, I'm pretty sure I get more than 3 hours of screen on time. Learn to use some basic battery saving methods; turn the brightness to 50% or lower, turn off wifi or data when you're not using it...or better yet, learn to restrain your usage of it when out and about
When I go out, the phone is generally being used consistently all day via me using Bluetooth headphones along with some occasional use of 4G data. It usually never gets past the 40% mark by time I'm back home and I'm usually out for more than 5-6 hours per day. Honestly I'm not personally sure what the issue with having to charge it daily is...I've never had a phone which didn't require such a task, with the exception of things like the original Nokia 3310.

I did the same on my friend's phone: Rom, gapps mini and Magisk. I can't tell you about his usage of the phone, but I've seen battery stats and it just can barely reach 3 hours of SOT, the usage is mostly of socials and music.. This rom here and latest LOS builds are just very battery draining, I don't know what to do with that phone! Anyway, thank you for the reply and the tips, I'll let him know!
What about MIUI? Maybe the EU version? Somedoby that tried that out can tell which will be the pros and the cons? Is it still on Lollipop?

I did the same on my friend's phone: Rom, gapps mini and Magisk. I can't tell you about his usage of the phone, but I've seen battery stats and it just can barely reach 3 hours of SOT, the usage is mostly of socials and music.. This rom here and latest LOS builds are just very battery draining, I don't know what to do with that phone! Anyway, thank you for the reply and the tips, I'll let him know!

Ahh, social media apps can very easily drain the battery from what I remember. The Facebook app is especially bad for it if I recall correctly. Perhaps grab a Wakelock detector app, see if anything is keeping the phone awake and then use Greenify to stop the apps from doing that.
With regards to MIUI, I seem to recall stock MIUI (from the official Xiaomi site) definitely having the best battery life out of every other rom I've used, with MIUI.eu not being as good but better than other custom roms. In terms of pros and cons, there isn't much. It works a little differently to regular Android so there's some bothering aspects to it (such as the Files/Documents app being disabled by default for some unexplained reason, meaning you have to re-enable it after every reboot.) And yes, It's still on Lollipop sadly, meaning apps like password managers etc can't use the fingerprint scanner.
Honestly I'd say wipe everything on the phone, clean flash RR-UNTEST and then slowly re-add all the apps and see if one in particular causes heavy battery drain.
