Hey guys,
I bought a Redmi Note 3 Pro 3 (Kate) three weeks ago and was really pleased by the battery life it showed me when I was on 8.0.5.0 (I think).
I usually got 7-10h screen on time on one battery charge lasting me 2-3 days. When I checked the updater app it proposed that there is an update available to 8.1.1.0 and I downloaded and installed it.
Since then my battery life got noticeable shorter and I can only reach 5-7 hours screen on time while the charge only lasts 1-2 days now.
The only apps I've installed are (same as I had on 8.0.5.0):
- Whatsapp
- Zvv timetable
- Google Play music
- Chrome
I already checked permissions, syncing and location stuff and all seems fine (location is off, syncing only chrome history and app data and nothing else).
Anyone has an idea how I can improve the battery life again? Or is it a problem with the 8.1.1.0 version of the global stable rom?
Cheers,
Some people on that version of the ROM may be able to offer advice, but the norm is to monitor what is high in the battery usage percentages.
Could be a lot of reasons but that should show what is the main culprit
It's actually something called "Other" and I have no clue what it refers to:
Hello, i have a redmi 3 since 2 years, and I've been experiencing some huge drain in battery, when I pull the charger after reaching 100% almost inmediately drops to 94%x I was using resurrection remix, I'm now in Xiaomi.eu MIUI 9.5 and battery life is slight better (I must mention that I use Greenify and bootManager modules)
I'm afraid it could be a hardware problem, this phone belonged to my brother and it had passed a lot of dropping, shocks and liquid, I even bought a replacement battery, problem stays the same, the phone never overheats or hangs so it can't be an internal short.
I've been reading a lot of people talking about 3 days battery life and I always need to charge it after a 11 hour journey
For example this morning unplugged from the charge and did a 30 min videocall via Whatsapp and dropped to 78%. Is that normal. WTH IS WRONG? This is making me NUTS!!!
Hi, I think - your brother is not guilty, because i have same problem with Redmi 3 too long time. After one year and half from day to day -ups- and battery life is in deep ****. I try every ROM - MIUI 7/8/9, lineage ROMs. MoKee, everything, but old stamina battery life did not return. Now battery is empty after few hours and I don´t think she is so ruined ... I have suspect producer from some planned battery life error after some times, because than you must buy new model.... Either way, I did not find solution
Now I have Redmi 5A, but ii is very cheap phone, not so good like ido in any case...
Hello everyone!
I bought my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus in january this year. Since then I've been more than satisfied with this device. I was using Resurrection Remix v6.1.0 for a couple months when I started to see that my battery was draining faster and faster... Firstly, my phone could charge up to 98%, then it would stop charging... Then there came issues with screen on time... I was barely getting around 5 hours of screen on time. I quickly wiped everything and flashed DotOS which had even worse battery life for me... Now I'm on MIUI 10 Global Beta and things aren't getting better... As you can see by the screenshots in the attachments, my battery is performing terribly. Moreover, 96% seems to be maximum value for my battery since I can't charge it more than that... Can someone give me an insight of what might be going on with my phone?
Unlocking the bootloader and installing custom roms might cause troubles for you and affect the performance.. you should know that.
It seems you are using 4G which drain battery faster than wifi as it appears in your screen.
Check for wakelocks, if [Timerfd] and netlink wakelock exist (with high alarms/wakelocks), then you need to reconnect the battery cable.
i get the same issues on my R5P which i bought back in May. when in install any MIUI rom, it seems that Android System is draining most of the battery.
at first i was getting 5-6 hours SOT. now i struggle to get 3-4 hours with the same usage.
i am currently on crdroid and max battery charge is 98%.
how difficult is it to open the device at reconnect the battery?
i had the same wakelock problem after instaling orange fox recovery and rooted oreo miui 9.
the only solution to wakelocks was to flash with test point method.
it was a very easy process.
for opening the back cover i have used 2 or 3 bits of plastic cutout form water bottle. use scisors for cutting plastic from water bottle.

what rom did you flash first in miflasher? did you flash orange fox afterwards?

A recovery has nothing to do with wakelocks in your ROM.

After some testing several forum users reached the conclusion that test point isn't needed. Disconnecting battery is sufficient.
Test point method implies disconnecting the battery.

flashed 9.8.1.25 beta
I had to do the test method because I have locked my bootloader by mistake and then got a bootloop.
but the wakelock problem has gone
I dont know if orange fox caused the wakelocks but I got those wakelocks like in the first post picture after using orange fox for rooting oreo miui 9.
After that I tried flashing nougat 9.5.4.0 , formating data, doing all the wipes , factory reseting then restoring my backups with twrp but the wakelocks were still present.
only test point method helped me get rid of wakelocks.

yes, i disconected the battery but I had to flash with the test point method because of a bootloop and locked bootloader by mistake.

use wakelock detector app.
kernel option
i had the same problem before, just discharge your battery to 0% i mean take time until your phone won't boot up and then wait an hour, then charge it for maybe 6 hours (i let mine overnight)
and repeat 3-4 times
if that doesn't work try to calibrate your battery/
good luck!
i just took the back of the phone off, disconnected the battery, reconnected it, booted it up and it charged to 100% in crdroid. testing battery life now.
Thanks for the replies. I'll most probably try the testpoint method and tell you if it worked for me.
Regarding the wake locks, app says that my phone is awake almost 70% of the time even though I used for around 2 hours in a 24 hour period... My phone is going from sleep to awake state every couple of seconds...

Tell us your results after testing
Hey.
IDK if this is going to help but here you go:
Yesterday I flashed via recovery the MIUI 10 Global Stable update for vince, working more flawlessly than Global Betas. I have tested a lot of ROMs for vince and always noticed that MIUI even 9 or 10 has worst battery than PE or any other Android Stock rom (8.1) for vince.
With this MIUI update things changed and I'm having the same statistics (or even better) as Android Stock roms for vince, now I've changed some settings before telling you this.
1- Installed MIUI Hidden Settings.
2- Opened Battery Optimization.
3- Selected all the apps that I could optimize.
Did that this morning (around 8 am) and I'm having this SOT.
Note: Mine is only charing to 98% idk why.
Want best battery life, Miui 10 Stable is shockingly best super smooth and best battery ever. The rom.
is even smoothest of all the custom roms i have tried. It is weird but Miui Stable release for Redmi 5 plus is a amazing ,

Thanks For Tips
As Per My Thinking Android System Higher Point for Battery Drain In Your Battery Uses Screenshot That Means Some Inbuilt App Use Battery
Ok so i had some problems with my battery draining fast with very little screen on time about 4-5 hours. What i did is opened the phone, disconnected battery cable, left it like that for a minute or two. Then i flashed the latest global miui 10 stable official stable rom using mi flash and flashed all data. Now my battery is once again amazing like when i first bought the phone! I get about 10 hours sot
So I opened the back of my phone and disconnected then reconnected the battery. While the back of the phone was opened, I did the test point method and entered EDL mode. I connected my phone and Windows installed the needed Qualcomm drivers. I opened MiFlash tool to try to flash the latest MIUI global stable ROM, but it always said there was an error. The error was that it couldn't receive the "hello" packet. So, unable to fix this error, I booted the phone and entered fastboot mode then flashed latest global stable ROM. Battery life improved just a tiny bit. Still getting subpar battery life with around 3-4 hours of SoT. Am I missing something or what? I am unable to believe that I managed to damage my phone's battery in less than 10 months since I don't use it for gaming.
Anybody got a clue on what to do?
Nowadays I only get about to 3.5 hrs of sot and if I use it lightly it dies within 12 hrs, Miui astable 10.3.4
long live the miui 9. battery is getting worse with each update.....sadly
Miui 10 Global Beta 9.5.17, stock kernel
Same here. Used to play 5h of pubg when the phone was new. Never wanted to unlock bootloader but looks like trying another ROM is only option left.
Hi everyone!
A couple of weeks ago I received the security patch and Android 10 for my POCO. It is not yet rooted and running the stock MIUI.
After the update however, the battery life degraded nearly 50% from 5-6 hours of SOT now i have at most 3 to 4.
The Standby battery drain is worse though! Before i charged my phone once in two days (I am not a power user) now i need to charge it everyday! I have more than 20% battery drain at night alone!
The first thing I did after I got that problem was to check if all the apps are restricted, if the GPS is off and so on. I Downloaded the Greenify app just in case but nothing helped!
After that i did a full HARD RESET. After it the Situation got a bit better but still I have no more than 4 hours of SOT and still lose more than 15% at night. All the apps got restricted use and GPS is turned off! The only battery drain function I have active is the WiFi but I got it always on before too!
I couldn't find any solution that would work for me. I was so Inlove with my Poco F1 before and now after the Android 10 update i am starting to feel i need to go on...
Please if you have any suggestions let me know! Thank you a lot!
