Battery issue - subpar battery life - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

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?

Battery life suddenly dropped, only getting an hour of screen-on-time. Suggestions?

I've had my Redmi Note 2 since August or September of last year. When I initially received it through GearBest, battery life was horrendous and the phone was hot all the time. I frantically searched for how to install custom ROMs, and after many hours of hopping around sites, I figured it out and fixed the issue. Battery life was quite good from then on out, and I rarely finished a day with less than 70% battery and an hour or two of SOT. I still got the impression that my battery life wasn't as good as the people who were getting 4+ hours of SOT, but I couldn't really complain since I'm not a super heavy user. Changing from MIUI to AOSP and CM based ROMs didn't seem to have a big impact.
Fast forward to January and I suddenly started ending days with 50% battery with minimal usage while on one of the first CM ROMs made by Bule. It seemed to happen all at once. This was around the same time as I got my Mi Band 1s, but after installing Gsam battery, trying different ROMs, and going a few days without the MiFit app installed, I determined that it wasn't anything related to having the new device connected to the phone. Nothing seemed to suggest that any apps I had installed were sucking more battery than they used to.
Then, about a month ago, my battery life took another dip and I found myself finishing days with 20-40% battery left with only an hour of SOT. I'm often at 60-70% as I leave my university in the early afternoon, and I hardly use my device at all during class.
Currently, I seem to lose about 1% of battery per minute of SOT. Standby isn't too bad, but definitely not as good as it used to be. Having problems across the board suggests to me that my battery may be faulty and dying slowly. I purchased a new battery, but it hasn't arrived yet.
If the new battery is clearly better than the original, then the problem will be solved. But if it seems to be about the same, then it's possible that it isn't the battery's fault after all and I'm doing something stupid to drain my battery. Update: New battery does not seem to be helping.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried to use the Redmi Note Tool app (making sure to use the setting for CM), but I've seen absolutely zero change in battery life. I've changed ROMs at least twice since the problems arose to no avail. WiFi and Bluetooth are on all of the time, but articles I've read seem to suggest that these things are rarely to blame for poor battery life. GPS is used occasionally but isn't on consistently. Screen brightness is set to Auto with the bar below half.
Update: For those who have helped and those who may have similar issues, I believe I've found the solution. After completely re-installing the original China ROM with Fastboot and the MiFlash tool, the issue seems to be solved. I really have no idea what the issue was, but it was clearly something pretty fundamental that wasn't getting reset with TWRP wipes and ROM swaps.
Just in case someone wants it, here are the guides I followed:
ROM: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
TWRP: https://felixsenada.wordpress.com/2...ng-twrp-recovery-and-root-redmi-note-23prime/
If you have twrp I suggest you to take a backup of the current rom and try messing around.
1. Try 3C Toolbox Pro or any free app tha allows you to change the permissions/freeze etc running apps. Change the apps tha start with the device. Freeze some unnesessary just for the sake of testing.
2. How many apps are you using? Not the ones you have installed and sittings, but actually using everyday. Did you install any in the same period you noticed things go sideways? 1% per minute is not a good sign.
3. Install wakelock detector and monitor what is draining your battery over time.
4. Clear cache/davlik through twrp and wait the phone to recreate the files. Maybe thats just it.

Thank you for your response.
I will look into 1 and 3. As far as apps go, I have a total of 51 apps installed (in the drawer including all the pre-loaded apps), but I only use an absolute maximum of about 12 of them, and on an average day, I only use a handful of those. The only things I can remember installing around the same time I first started having issues were Google Fit and Mi Fit. However, neither showed up in Gsam as suspects, and after changing ROMs on at least one occasion, I didn't reinstall them just to make sure. I still had the same issues with or without them.
4 is something I do regularly whenever I change ROMs, so I don't think that's the solution.
Just to make absolutely sure that I hadn't already overlooked something, this morning I turned off auto brightness and location. It's still too early to tell, but I think turning off auto brightness may have helped.
Nice. Lets see how this goes.
charge at 100 % with screen off flash latest china stable via fastboot(not recovery) use phone for 3 days like this(i now it's a pain but its worth trust me) .
flash twrp via fastboot than flash xiaomi.eu 7.3.2.0 and super su .
4-5 hours SOT assured (assuming your battery doesnt have problems)

Update: I've been traveling for the past two weeks or so, so I haven't been able to respond.
I flashed the latest Xiaomi.eu build before leaving on the trip, but this did not help noticeably, so I can pretty definitively say that it is not an issue with any of the ROMs I've been using. Although it was never really suspected, I suppose this also confirms that it doesn't have to do with my house/work being in a bad spot for cell/WiFi or something odd like that.
Having returned to find my new battery waiting, it seems the battery is not the issue as I have been getting the same behavior today as usual (only a bit over an hour into the day from 100% charge and I'm already below 90% with 8 minutes of SOT).
Unfortunately, I haven't tried any wakelock detectors or other monitors yet since I wouldn't have had time to figure it out while I was away. I can look into this now, but my instinct says that I probably won't find anything that GSam hasn't been reporting anyway.
Finally, I did manage to get 2 hours SOT out of it one day (with lots of GPS usage as well!) and about an hour and a half yesterday, so I know that it isn't incapable of heavier usage; it just seems that it drains more slowly at random on certain days. The only other thing I've noticed is that, when the battery is draining more slowly, the 'Kernel (Android OS)' seen in the GSam screenshot on the original post drops to being about on par with 'Android System'. I don't really know what this would indicate, but maybe someone else could propose an educated theory.

Thanks for the advice, but I have some clarifying questions to make sure I don't do anything stupid that could brick my phone (an excuse to buy a Mi 5 would be great and all, but I really ought to do my best to make this phone work since it can do everything I need just fine).
Can any ROM be flashed via fastboot, or is there a specific one I need to download? I downloaded the china ROM from here: http://en.miui.com/download-274.html#396
Which method of fastboot flashing should I use? When I originally installed TWRP to get the original ROM off of my device, I was confused and bounced around many different sites trying to get ADB and VCOM drivers working, but I see now that there is a simple MiPhone fastboot tool that seems like it would work fine: http://en.miui.com/thread-145555-1-1.html
Do I need to do any wiping first? Normally I wipe via TWRP, but will the fastboot flash automatically get rid of all the data? Will TWRP be wiped as well since you reference re-installing it later?
Thanks for your help!
http://en.miui.com/thread-283080-1-1.html
download fastboot rom here
extract it with 7zip , WinZip,Winrar (your choice)it's an archive basically since you have installed twrp that means fastboot drivers are already installed
now make sure u have twrp 3.0.2 by jemini since it's modded to not let stock rom overwrite twrp
so the recovery.img by jemini place it in images folder that you've extracted replacing stock mi recovery so you hit two birds with one stone .
than click the .bat file flash all
EVERYTHING must be erased EVEN INTERNAL MEMORY

Same problem here on Cm. Just charge your phone until 100%,calibrate your battery by deleting batterystats.bin via twrp or with a battery calibration app. I did calibrate my battery two days ago and besides phone was charged 100%, after calibration shew 87%. After this you will see just an improvement.....

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration this one... who knows what the real problem is... In your position i would try vova vafin cm, do a full charge and let it plus 1 hour on 100%, charging... Then battery calibration by myself via twrp, just delete batterystats.bin, restart phone and see if it's 100%. If not let it charge, if yes see if something has changed.

Try vova vafin cm12.1
Flash this twrp, it's just perfect: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwdRTuyj12_yR2xMREVkZnBacDA/view
In order to calibrate the battery via twrp you have to:
boot into TWRP recovery
/advanced/File Manager/
folder /data/system/
click batterystats.bin
click Delete
reboot system
If, after all these, problem with battery still exist, then consider of buying a new one

This is similar to what is happening to my RN2.http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/help/uptime-recovery-shutdown-0-battery-t3497868
With last charge it did ~1:45 SOT on normal usage.
After it shut down, I restarted and it was at 2% and I watch a video for 45 minutes before it went off again
Finally I did 30 minutes on TWRP with 50% screen brightness.
Which ROM are you using?
EDIT:
can you do the test with recovery?
After it shut down:
- boot into recovery
- set the screen brightness to 50% if you can
- time how long it remains on

terrible battery drain on redmi note 3 sd

guys i have a redmi note 3 running stock miui 7.3.6.0 global stable
i am experiencing terrible battery drain on my device
last night i charged my phone to complete 100% and used it foer an hour
with 92% left .
i switched of wifi greenified all the apps and cleared all the ram but still when i wake up i found the battery to be 67
thats a 25% drain overnight. this has become everyday story and even in daytime my battery continues to drain like this even when i dont use it
guys i dont have any kind of data activity running in the background no sync or anything like that but still my phone does not go to sleep
and Android Sytsem and Android are always keeping my device awake
they have a usage of 38-40% always
can someone please help me fix the problem
guys anyone with a solution plz help me out here
Reset to Stock and Check if the Problem persists. If Not login to google playstore and slowly install your apps step by step to check which apps force the battery drain...
Bro plz suggest some solution which does not require resetting the phone
I really don't want to get hassle of backing up the 20gb data
And restoring it back
The only issue is android system keeping device awake all the tym
Try turning off location for a test, see if drain goes away.
Seems like stock MIUI roms nearly always have a battery drain problem for some devices.
Bugs in 7.3.6.0 global stable for RN3 <<< Battery drain.
Normally I would suggest updating your rom, but seems like it is still a problem in 8.0.2.0. Which was suppose to resolve it from 8.0.1.0.
[Discussion] battery drain in 8.0.2.0 .
If your rooted try installing Wakelock Detector. Charge your phone fully. Unplug and see what is reported overnight.

i have never been able to gather the courage to even unlock the bootloader of my phone because official method sucks and fails at 50% and unofficial ones are risky
Bro Lte network consume more power than 2g aur 3g..
bhai everything is turned off
m talkin abt battery drain when device is idle and no app is active
25% in 8 hours is way too much
No choice man, you have to do a full reset and then slowly reinstall apps to see what drains the battery. I would do a fastboot flash using Miflash and then unlock the bootloader to get rooted.
I'm on the latest Xiaomi.eu ROM and I'm getting 10 hours screen on time. With Greenify, I get <1% drop per hour on standby, with full sync running for a bunch of apps.
I am also having this same issue on Xiaomi.eu LP rom.
Resetting isn't solving anything and it's not b'coz of any app that I have installed, it is the system itself that is causing this issue
Last night I full charged my phone and went airplane and when I woke up it was on 89%
I have also tried xposed deep sleep battery saver to no vail
Right now I have no idea on how to solve this, I am looking for a ROM where I could use atleast use the jio4g voice, so that can use jio.
thanx for helpin me out with the suggestions guys
i found some.ways to fix the problem without resetting the phone in this guide
http://en.miui.com/thread-339815-1-1.html
although i had already disabked most of th3 things mentioned in this guide but still point no 4 was the only thing that i had to do and bam
android and android system both dropped to 15% and phone went on sleep
just 2 % drain in 8 hours
i suggest anyone with battery drain problem to once refer to this amazing thread
That's much...have you tried turnig off find me..
location to battery saver.
Ambient display off.
Sync off
Cloud off
Flash using MIFLASH tool and wipe everything off
From my experience, this is the only way to solve problem
I also had extreme drain and turns out that phone wasn't entering in deep sleep mode and was staying awake all the time
I tried several different roms (Cm13/miui), flashed custom kernels and the problem was still there no matter what i did
As i mentioned above wipe everything off, there is no way around

Battery drain in every ROM, WTF?!

Hi all. From a month to now I'm facing an odd problem with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 SD International. First of all I tried several ROMs: both MIUI Global and Developer, LOS, RR, LegendROM, AOSP Extended and XenonHD: in every of these ROMs, battery performances are quite poor: two months ago screen on time was not less than 9 to 10 hours, now it's hard to reach 6 hours of SOT. I have to charge the phone every two days instead of three. I tried several kernels and power consumpion profile but they didn't help. Is my battery faulty? How con I solve this problem?

Battery fault probably..
Don't charge over night
Uninstall Facebook app. Use Friendly for Facebook instead. Lighter on battery.

Done, let's try it!
I'm sure it's planned obsolescence. The redmi note 2 had the same bug. It drained quickly and charged quickly too. But when you let it drain to 0%, and powered it back on, it still had 35% left. You could still use your phone for 1h after that.
Overnight charge is okay, just don't let it drain to 0%... You should charge your phone everyday. Not once in 3 day.

*.Do not charger overnight
*.DElete Facebook app
*.Clean install any Rom and use it until it last and then recharge it again fully. Do it again and again few times.
*.Also, Turnoff mobile data whenever there's no use of it.

Assuming the battery was charged every 3 days, are you usually use it from 100 until it's very low power or empty??
if yes, then your battery might already broken...
its because full cycle usage will degrade battery performance faster, just do full-cycle when the battery meter is not accurate to calibrate it, otherwise don't let it fall under 10% or even 0%.
Believe it or not. Battery gets weaker and phone tends to easily heat up after we begin torturing our phones by unlocking and flashing tons of ROMs very frequently. In such Flashing back fastboot images also doesn't bring back that wow factor of the phone.
This is my personnel experience with 5 Android phones till date. The one locked and unrooted is still giving best backup.
But yea we obviously miss some wow mods of xda like Viperfx being unrooted.
Hi, I've opened a thread describing my situation, you can take a look at it if you want to, it may help in finding the solution. I would appreciate if anyone could help me.
The problem is causing buy the wifi.
The phone have a wifi issue.
I write a tread about this.
I found some strange behavior with my phone for the past two months. Actually, the problem started when they released MIUI 9 and it is getting worse over time. The battery is draining really fast. When I check the usage, android consumes almost 70% of the battery. I had reported the issue to MI support and it seemed ok for a few days when I updated it to 9.6.1.0, but the issue seems to be back now. The only option I have right now is to use other custom roms. Can this happen because of faulty battery? I hope not!

I am facing a similar issue. When I checked battery usage, android is using 70% of the battery. Could this be an issue with battery? I used to plug my phone over night in the past.
Try let your battery drain to 0% so phone will shut down, this is called calibration btw.(do not use play store apps, all they do is deleting some files which do not work like intended)
Then charge till 95% at most and try again. Btw don't charge phone overnight as it was mentioned above and try charging it when the battery drops to 15%-20%. At most let it charge until 95% you don't want to overdo it. If the issue still persists then you might want a battery replacement.

Close to terrible battery life

Helllo guys!
So here's my story: About 6 months ago i installed this https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/h830-resurrection-remix-6-0-0-t3792258 Ressurrection Remix mod and I was absolutely loving it. Now I started to play Pokémon Go again with colleagues but since my device was rooted it kept crashing so many times that I decided to switch back to stock rom, also in this case I wanted to get my 60FPS video recording possibility back since RR didn't have that function. My battery life was absulutely okay when I had RR, like with normal daily usage i could hold out for 1.5 days without charging it. So basically I flashed back to a stock ROM using a zip from one of the thread around here called "LG-H85030a-Flashable.COMPLETE", though I wanted to be up to date with the ROM, also this flashable was Vodafone and I needed an original T-mobileish ROM. So I tried to update the ROM with LG Bridge which was a success. Then I knew I had to root it one more time because of batterystats. So I rooted it again. Deleted batterystats, discharge then full recharge without any intervention and of course while the phone was off. After this I kept experiencing a massive loss on battery life. Like while playing Pokémon GO the phone discharges 15-20% in 30 mins of gaming. I know that Pokémon GO eating up battery since it's release and maybe they still din't optimize it. But what it's wierd that I just charged my phone to 100% then I went to take a shower which lasted about 20 mins and when I got back I saw that the battery percentage dropped to 92%. In freakin 20 mins idle time. Is it possible that I did wrong something in the batterystat reseting? I did it many times before and I didn't have any issues after it. I also tried to calibrate the battery with the Advance Battery Calibrator app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newagetools.batcalibra&hl=en_US) multiple times and I didn't have any luck. :/ Also tried to remove or freeze some applications which were running in the background and they were useless to me. Or maybe is it possible that the ROM i downloaded and installed from LG Bridge is a complete ****? Also FYI I have two batteries, one which came with the phone ofc and one which I bought a year ago within a charging kit. The phone itself is about 2 years old. Basically the original battery should be closing to it's ending but the other shouldn't, also I tried the calibration process while I was using the fresher battery. Also the current ROM version is 8.0.0 Oreo, v30c-216-30 if that helps anything. :S I also installed the MK2000 kernel because after rooting the phone the flashlight didn't work and the MK2000 fixes that. Though the battery life was bad before it too, so that can't be the problem, the fact of the root either because even the unrooted ROM had bad battery life.
Thank you for your further help guys!
