Horrible battery life (Android System battery drain fault) ? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi
Since around a week i noticed very high usage of Android System proccess. Its taking a lot of battery juice. I switched between various ROMS global/dev it doesnt solve the problem. I see people getting easily 8-10h of SOT while im at.....well check yourself screenshots. Brightness auto, no sms, no calls, only a little data LTE. This is unacceptable.
And the "Android System" is now at 21% in apps, earlier it wasnt even present or of it was it was very low few percentages.
I think i did everything i could. Yesterday flashed global stable 7.2.3.0 with MiFlash choosing "flash all".
Going down from 100% to 90 as you see it takes just around 15 minutes. Why is that ? Going frokm 100% to 99 takes like 30 seconds. Is it possible its faulty battery in my model ?
Any ideas ?

try to remove sd-card, sim-card
do factory reset (do not sign in to google / mi account) and see how it goes

I did remove sim card. Didnt help. Dont have sdcard
Factory reset will wipe everything right ?

yes, everything means it will wipe out what drains your battery to (should)

I had the same problem. Full wipe in TWRP, and then factory reset again after first boot. Battery was back to normal.

Please just confirm it... I will test new china dev and if problem persist I will report again with new ss...

I'm having the same issue, Android System was just using up a few percent of battery, since a few days it drains battery very fast(Android System 20%, Android 13%), also when phone is in standby (BBS tells me phone is in deepsleep over 90% of the time, so wakelocks are not an issue).
Very strange, as in my first days I easily got 10h SOT and now barely make 6h.
I'm on MIUI 7 Global 6.5.19 Beta by the way.

Try using Smiui rom......!!!!! Got a not good battery on xioami.eu roms.....!!!! But with Smiui rom, it is better....not heating at all....

I need help. My android system used my battery until 30%. It drains my battery so much. Anybody help me?

Try using cm13 official! 1 hour of sot for every 10 percent

I flashed radon kernel and that seems to have improved nbattery.

I have absolutely same problem with this dude. I've got more like a 7-8 SoT with 2.5 days usae on vendor rom (something like 7.3.2.0.0 (bewre of an extra zero) but the battery was immense.
I then later unlocked bootloader officially and since I liked the miui I was using, told myself "hey, lets keep going". I've flashed global stable 7.3.2.0 hell. it was awful. 10 minutes, battery was dropping like a gaggled eye m..f..r. I also noticed that the phone not too much but was heating up when the screen was on. On vendor, I haven't noticed any heat except charging. btw, I never play games. only listen to music and read news-articles on my phone.
I have also noticed that on marathon mode, pone uses insane battery but it wasn't awake.. (how the F.. could that happen?) on vendor, it was 0-1%; on 7.3.2 official Global Stable, its minimum %6-7 on AIRPLANE mode in 7 hours!!!
SO far tried different roms but looks like nothing's working. still same issue. I'm guessing the problem could be related to kernel, but I'm not gonna go over it. even unlocking bootloader and flashing an official rom has taken my days and I had hardbircked the phone.
aint gonna buy a xiaomi again. that was my first time, and probably the last.

Guys I am facing same problem
Android system and android both are draining battery
And usage for both of them is like 30-40%
Plz can someone suggest a fix that does not involve resetting my phone

(HELP) Very Poor battery Standby Time on Redmi Note 3 Kenzo....

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.

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

Horrible battery life

Hey, I have a redmi note 4 snapdragon version and I have flashed aosp extended rom and franco kernel in it, but I am getting a very poor battery life, hardly 1 hour screen on time and the phone shuts off by the time battery gets to 30 to 20%. My phone is rooted too and i am not using any kind of battery saver app.
:crying:
I think this is an hardware issue but, I am no expert so please help me on this and let me know what should i do. Thank you.

The problem started probably when i rooted my phone on stock rom(miui 10), the very next day i cleaned every thing (including my firmware accidentally) to flash custom rom, then after flashing i found out that none of the hardware components are working and i posted a thread about it and as per the answers i flashed a latest chinese firmware for redmi note 4.And it worked except i started noticing an awfully bad battery backup(hadn't noticed before as all this happened in just 2 days. (as a matter of fact the battery went down 5% as i wrote this, oh 6 now!)

Cleaning everything, as you stated, including the whole firmware,
You answered your whole thread yourself, just flash stock frimware, then flash AEX like flashing any normal ROM.
I have the same problem, the battery die after 1h screen, when the battery Is on 20% the device shutdown,help me pls, i have rr with franco kernel.
hi OP. base on what you are describing, it looks like your battery is dying... nothing to do with the OS. be careful 'cause chinese batterys (like 70%) turn out to be real sh*t (on my own experiance). consider to replace battery from a confiable retailer or change device.

battery drains like a countdown!!

Hi i was first using PE then switched back to miui via fast boot rom then after a few days i noticed a sudden fast battery draining, tho it charges faster but it also drains at a high rate. Now i switched to eu rom hoping for an improvement but nothing has changed. What would you guys suggest?

Also, try to make complete charge cycle (Drain it to 0% and charge it to 100% when your phone is shutdown) and test your battery drain again
try this kernel

Switch to MIUI EU 11.0.5 ROM
Flash Magisk
Flash Twisted Kernel
Install Spectrum App from Playstore
Select Battery Profile
Enjoy 8-10 hrs SOT !!!
before you could take bold decision to change the Battery!
flash 9.6.x vendor / firmware
I have always found Higher batter drains on vendor+firm higher than 9.6.27-9.0 !
also would recomend to do CLEAN FLASHING (if formating data is possible for you ) then do it (take all backup)
more over if you using application which is depending on Screen like (gravity screen) or ambiant display for screen to wakeup randomly whenever music track change or whenever you recieve any notification, PLEASE disable them! , third party apps sometimes abuse sensors and affect performance!
for kernels, I myself found difference between battery performance in various
I use Twisted kernel (pie) (since i am on pie) but you can try Opitimus drunk, its also amazing kernel!
if in custom rom you are laydown apps via rooted method such as
1. MIGRATE or
2. TITANIUM backup
then all the bitter settings from any malicious battery draining third party app is also reinstated! hence keep close eye which apps actually to restore with DATA!

battery drain miui 12

Hello everybody,
I have this beautiful phone since two days now and I'm running miui 12 on it. I love the look of it but I won't get more than 5 hours of sot. Aod switched off and 90hz on all the time. I came from Poco F1 where I easily did get round about 6 hours of sot. Anybody got the same problem and might be able to help me fix it? Thanks in advance
try to factory reset the phone
Okay you think it might help? The phone is completely new like I've said and I've even debloated it
i have the same issue with battery drain. Factory reset didnt help for me. The Wake line is constant blue with really short sleep times.
BBS said that google gms and xiaomi framework are the most battery using tools.
I will downgrade to miui 11 back until my bootloader is unlocked....
i use miui12 eu 20.6.18
an wen i have 5 houres sot i still have about 50%+ back
on miui 11 i had 6 hours sot and i had about 30% left. Now i have 2,5 hours sot and my battery has 5% left.
that really suck.
Same had 5+ hardcore sot on 11 now barely gets 3 on 12..
Miui12 is shat.

I also had this battery drain problem on MIUI 12, i tried to factory reset, wipe data into recovery but nothing worked. And i finally solved that problem by downloading the entire MIUI 12 package for my Mi10 Europe version on official xiaomi website and by updating the complete package with update menu of the phone.
Could you give us quick steps how to do that and which exact version did you use?
