Hi, I just recently flashed the LPG ICS Rom to my phone 2 days ago. I did the wipe and flashed through mobile Odin. I restored some of my apps and data with Titanium (also uninstalled most of the samsung apps)
I already did a battery recalibration (pulling the battery at 100% etc.) but I am getting pretty bad numbers. Just 7 hours tops, I guess a lot more if I dont turn on the phone but I guess this is really wrong.
Am I missing something? Should I uninstall or disable something more? This exact configuration gave me minimun 12 to 14 hours on a stock not ICS ROM.
Also I should mention that I am using Juice Defender Ultimate with connection intervals of 5 minutes, pretty average settings.
Any suggestions, tips or guesses?
Thanks a lot!
PS. I dont have any strange apps, just the normal (facebook, twitter, whatsapp, Talk...), My display brightness is set to auto.
What really matters is screen on time and you are getting barely 2 hrs and that is indeed awful but in line with all the complaints I've been seeing in the forums.
The update I got was not LPQ but rather LPE (Trinidad & Tobago) which was released the same day as LPQ. I am getting 4.5 hrs screen on time (around 15 hours with my usage habits). This is barely acceptable as I usually got 5 hours 15 min of screen on time with my stock 2.3.4.
Hopefully Samsung will fix this soon, it was supposed to be the other way (battery life improvement).
Soo...
So I guess I'll just have to wait the next rom releases, as it seems that they are improving the rom every new release? Does that make sense? the roms are being released almost one day apart from each other, arent they the same?
In case that for example a new rom comes out tomorrow and the fellows here say that it really improves battery life. What should I do? wipe and install just as this one? or would I be fine without wiping?
Thanks a lot!

Their is no normal battery usage and you have not given battery any time at all to recalibrate .
Just read the battery posts and use Better Battery Stats .
If their is a problem a full wipe is always best .

Ok, so after a couple of days using it.
The battery now lasts almost 9 to 10 hours with normal use. but I deactivated Juice defender.
Now I have disabled all of google location stuff, and some of google services autosync (like google photos and reader). And will turn on juice defender to see how it goes.
Ill update my findings.
Thanks.
Ooh my holy f#, the amount of ics battery threads its too damn high

Hello all,
Just a quick message to let you know Microsoft has released an update to Dev 1. I have just updated my phone to version (8.10.12382.878).
Somehow there aren't any information on what has been fixed, but hopefully battery drain and heating issues are fixed. I will let you know how it goes or if I notice anything special. So far, the strangest thing is that my phone was at 100% before the update. The update took about 20 minutes to complete and after, my phone powered with only 28%... Hopefully this is part of a calibration that will allow me to have better power later.
Good luck everyone!

While not stated on the page, it was mentioned in the podcast that battery improvements was one of the fix's. That said, I've been running on it for a day, and haven't really noticed much.

i not notice improvement on battery life with update 1... same as before with 8.1... but my battery can long 2 days... only what i do is hard reset and set all settings from fresh (not used backup from cloud)
Gotta say 8.1 is amazing. Tile wallpaper, 3 columns and notification panel slide down and a lot more...
I haven't noticed a thing on mine...

i just recently updated to 8.1. and i can say that after my first attempt of using the backed up settings from the cloud starting completely fresh is the way to go. battery life was less than 5 hours for me at first. after hard resetting and starting from scratch my phone is no longer hot and the battery time has resumed to what it was before the update.
Hello!
I installed the official Greenify Play Store version yesterday because I wanted longer batter for my Note 3 because it wasn't lasting much (after unplugging it would reach 80% in 1 hour or so). I also disabled a whole bunch of stock apps that I never use.
When I installed Greenify, everything worked great, my apps were auto-hibernating and when I unplugged the charger, my estimated duration was 14 hours (using H+ and wifi turned off). I was so thrilled! Then I discovered this forum and noticed that there was a v 2.7 beta version going on that dimmed the screen while auto-hibernating, so I downloaded beta 5. It was working perfectly as well, this time around I was on wi-fi.
Fast forward to today... When I finished charging my phone, my estimated duration was... 6 hours again. I couldn't understand why. Maybe it was the beta? Maybe it's because I enabled hibernation for WeHeartIt? Maybe it's because wi-fi is turned on but not in use? Or maybe it was the re-enabling of S Voice? I uninstalled the beta and re-installed the official Play Store version, but still.. 4 hours left. Battery was draining super fast this time around.
So that's why I decided to share this here. Currently I'm charging my phone, with the official Play Store version installed. Disabled S voice and turned off wi-fi, but I still have WeHeartIt app in auto-hibernation.
Has this ever happened to anyone? Any thoughts?
I was so excited yesterday with my new super battery duration! Guess it was too good to be true? :crying:
PD. I started using this phone about two weeks ago, but it was not brand new. Had a new original battery installed though.

As you are unrooted, some Greenify versions may not work properly. The Dev has acknowledged the issue and is working on a solution. Wait for the next update.

Hii.. I've just got my new redmi note 4 (SD) 4 GB ram variant 10 days ago. And after getting my device I updated it to official MIUI stable nougat update. Battery life was just great but just after a week I'm experiencing strange battery drain. My battery drops by 3-6 % whenever I check my phone after a whole night. Even when I just check my phone after regular interval my battery drops by 3-4%. Please help me as nobody will ever want their brand new device to behave like this... :crying::crying:

Hi everyone,
I just got a poco yesterday and I am coming from a phone a which had a really bad battery life. Poco is definitely a upgrade but I just want to make sure my battery is in perfect condition if not I have a week to replace my phone. Just help me out here guys.
Any help is appreciated.
I don't play games a lot just downloaded pubg to test the performance. Played pubg exactly 12 min and used YouTube for hour at Max. Bluetooth,WiFi and GPS were turned on. No mobile data used.
SOT of about 6 hours seems alright.
But is it what a normal user gets using this phone?
Pubg drains battery very fast in this or any other phone
I get about 8-10 hr sot. I think you need to debloat miui if you haven't already
12 hours+ SoT, but this is the old stable v9.6.14 rom, not the ****ty recent rom, poco team continues to provide ****ty updates that ruins everything with each update, while removing important features & adding more bloatware

May i know how you downgraded? Also aren't you suffering from bugs the phone had at launch in stock room.
Well we love our F1's battery! Ok Im probably a bit older than you and won't use it like most and im a bit of a battery freak, but I got 7 days 6 hrs with 9 hrs screen on time, mainly just whatsapp chrome email calls etc, and maybe a few mins on Pet Rescue, my old Sammy S7 Edge with the same use wouldn't even see 2 days. My daughters F1 gets 4+ full days and mainly plays dragon city? Instagram a few hrs a day, Her old Xiaomi Note 3 with same use would last 2 days if that, my wifes just got the Xiaomi A2 lite and shes managing 6+ days with very light use, facebook and whatsapp mainly.
What I can say is over the years i've always noticed the better the cell signal the better the battery life and I always stick to 3g unless speeds an issue. Ive messed a lot recently with different sims and found that at home, between EE's 1-2 bar signal and Vodafone Full signal, the Vodafone cell battery use is over 50% better than EE, before switching to Voda on my S7 edge Id be lucky to get 1 day out of it.
Oh and my daughter got the F1 for christmas, I charged it up, turned everything off other than 2g (so basically an old text n call phone!lol) and wrapped it up just to see how long it would last.....THREE weeks afterwards on Christmas day it STILL had 36% battery remaining with an estimate of about 5 weeks total!lol...I tried the same with the iPhone 4 and got 3 days!lol
Hope my gibbering helps

Hey, hope you have unlocked bootloader and have twrp and root
0) Remove all locks/patters/fingerprints etc..Also Backup everything through built in backup (Settings>Additional>Backup>Local Backups) Most apps won't be restored so also backup apps & app data through Titanium backup
1) Now download the MIUI v9.6.14 rom
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.14.0.OEJMIFD/miui_BERYLLIUMGlobal_V9.6.14.0.OEJMIFD_9f7f9e0fa4_8.1.zip
2) Boot TWRP & install rom
3) click back button' & install DisableForceEnyption_Treble.zip
4) Click back button' & install Magisk.zip for root
5) Wipe Davlik cache & reboot
,6) If any problem after Boot , just Boot TWRP & wipe with default options & Boot, after Boot setup phone and restore the Backups made, internal storage will be as it was before rolling back
Using Backups is only needed if you run into problem like me of unable to unlock pattern after rollback, I think it was because I didn't remove pattern/locks before rolling back

Wtf 7 days i actually thought 7 hours how is that even possible?
Yeah i know, bit of a sado ? If I could work out how to upload images I'd post some battery ones. Might seem a bit daft having a decent phone and not using it all that much, but why not?
