Battery life? Ayy, 8-10hrs SOT for sure ?

Me too 8.30 to 10 hours depends on screen brightness

9+ hrs LTE on an average.

Automatic brightness, AEX rom, wifi and lte always on.

13h sot for 24h
8h sot for 48h
5-6h sot for 72h

1Day 15h
and now:

i get 1day 4hrs

These are my SOT and standby results

10-12 hrs sot.. in miui.
is it same for other custom rom???

Is it MIUI9?
If so, could you give me the address?

Just swapped my mi max 2 with my wife's RN4 SD and all I get is 4hrs 30 screen on time. Not sure why this is so poor compared to other users. The mi max was 10hrs sot east and thought these were about same.
Think I may need to see if any apps are running.
Edit. My android system has used 74% of my battery today. Any idea how to solve that?

I am getting 6+ hours SoT, with my Bad network coverage.

Did a factory restore and got 11 hours sot after only getting 4hrs. That's much better:fingers-crossed:

9+ hours

11 hrs with minimum brightness and always on 4G

What am i doing wrong guys? I just bought an SD version of the Note 4 in hope of 6-8 hour of sot, first day passed and only 4 and a half hour sot wit 17 hour of standby time (now i'm at 26% battery). I haven't even installed any apps (Messenger Lite and Chrome, nothing else). Rom is Miui Global 8.5 stable 8.5.4.0.

Poor battery life?

Is 3 hours of screen on time on Lollipop good? I keep hearing of people that get 5 or 6 hours of screen on time and No android device I get has ever achieved that. Even my xperia z3 tablet compact can't get over 3 hours of Screen on time. Am I doing something wrong? Like could I be using my device too much?
check apps wich draw most battery and get rid of them , if this won't work then do a factory reset ...
I get between 4 1/2 and 7+ SOT hours.
Depends mostly if I turn Bluetooth on (SmartWatch), GPS use (Google+ position tracking, weather),use a lot of Internet (chrome is a battery sucker, you don't believe it), sync a lot of mails n stuff like that.
Of course it depends on your apps, but 3 hours is really not a lot, may be your battery is not good.
The 3 hours screen on time is with heavy usage but the standby time is amazing.

I get 3-4 hours screen on time too. However, that's with heavy use. Viber, Skype & Talkray for 1-2 hours per day. I get 2-3 days standby with 3-4 hours screen on time based on the above. Also some light web browsing and some WhatsApp...

It very much depends on a rom.
I was able to get around 4-5h sot on lollipop, but it was on Google style rom. On some more customized or stock roms you may get a bit worse battery life.
So to answer your question, 3h is a bit below the average result.
The reason may be an old battery.

Old battery? My Z2 is only 2 months old and was bought brand new. :laugh:
Perhaps rom related. Most ever SOT I got was around 4.5 hours and that was on Lollipop Google style rom...

Im having 5 hours, then it is time to sleep, me and mine phone have to rest sometimes
Mine is the Brazilian version
5 hours SOT here also .
Moderator edit:
Wrong Model....
Battery life of Moto Z is waaaay better than as reported on reviews...!! :cyclops:
Soon I'll open a detailed thread on it with some data...
Have had it about 10 days, 4-6 hours of SOT each day after the first day of install/fiddling.
Why is everyone getting such a high SOT? I'm only able to hit the 3.5hrs SOT mark, sometimes just barely 3hrs SOT. Are you all on XT1650-03?

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Awsome standby ability.Only losses 1 percentage barely when i wakeup morning
Not mine ?mine drain battery as it seems like screen is on all night!!!
Standby was high on miui and miui based roms and it was also high on 7 and 8 roms but the newest roms have the best standby time ever. Only 1 percent in 4 hours. WOW!
With Greenify, amplify and RR Nougat, standby time is crazy high. I get almost two days standby time.

I easily get about 4 days standby time without using any additional apps like Greenify or Amplify. I got this with Slim-ROM (Nougat) and I am getting it with Atomic-OS (Oreo).

Which ROM you are using?
I left MiUi for good. Some say you get 1-4 days standby. Well I got 1-2 days that I keep using the phone. 12 days standby with Lineage 14.1 ROM and franco kernel. MiUi is nice and packed with features but everyone will leave it for good if one wishes for ultimate battery and performance.
However this is only true for Snapdragon variants. If you have Mediatek well... You can be grateful that your phone gets 1 day standby. It's a power hungry wolf. I sold my Mediatek to buy a Snapdragon. Never regretted.

Is miui9 good or custom ROMs?
Sent from my mido using XDA Labs
Mine only drains 1-2% at night (~8-9 hrs standby). Try turning off "double tap to wake up" to get best standby time.

It's okay. If you really want to stick with miui then I advise you use Xiaomi Eu roms.
please help me after my redmi note 4 dropped in water but its in working condition now only some water spots are visible on the scree but the touch is fine but 9% of battery is drained at night (11pm-7am) when i am sleeping and not using my phone but it was not like this before it got in water ,only 1% battery was dropped at night as the same time above

Any advice on how to check if my battery is damaged or toast? I've turned off pretty much everything and the battery is draining like crazy whether in use or not. I'm lucky to get around 2 hours of SOT now.
Not sure if I need a new battery or maybe a new phone.

If your battery was damaged it would heat like hell not just drain. It also depends on the variant if SD or MTK. MTK drains 5x faster than SD. Also miui 7-8-9 weren't very well optimised and drained my battery very fast. MiUi 10 beta on SD variant gets almost a day of screen on time which is really good. One or more day with moderate usage. I use my SD with Lineage os and kud kernel and lasts 8-12 days without charging if I use the phone wisely.

9 hours + Sot is simply amazing
Unbelievable
I'm using Zenfone max pro m1 I do usally have god & mobile data on all time for me it is just 5 hours to 6hours !
And to be frank I fell this is similar or less to my previous Redmi note 4 !!
Was expecting more I think all due to miui optimisation
im getting insane 12 Hours SOT....maybe bcz im using only a single 4g sim and wifi most of the time but this is still great battery backup
I got this one.
Good enough for me.
Great battery life with 45mins of gaming, lots of YouTube,browsing, chatting, camera,etc with 4G connection full time 4G connection.
Getting great screen-on time with Asus Pro M1, best I have seen in my experience of use on any Android Device. Getting SOT of over 12 hours plus with 33 percent battery still left in the tank. My usage has been 90 percent of the time on WiFi and 10 Percent on 4g , with continues browsing , updating of all the old apps, few pics, streaming 15mins of youtube and checking msgs on WhatsApp with display brightness set to 20 percent, Rest all of the apps in the background are disabled to use any data or notifications turned off and battery saver n data saver both enabled . This device is absolutely beast in terms of battery life, fantastic for any kind of user, I am expecting to hit close to 14:30 hrs to 15 hrs SOT with such usage.
Using this phone today for heavy gaming such as arena of valor, crossfire legends, and pubg. And also streaming music from soundcloud on my trip, it takes 4 hours streaming. On 4g mostly. So yeah, it's my heaviest usage I guess.
Looking good though.

Looking good you say ? My Mi Max 2 could do 12-15hours of SoT. Looks like Pro M1 doesn't optimised well even tho its 5000mah but last just like the Redmi Note 4 with 4000mah..Too bad asus..too bad. Hoping for MiUI rom for it

No, it's my heavy usage test. That usage test based mostly on gaming and music streaming for long time. I'm not testing the normal usage yet.
And I've used Nokia Lumia 640 XL. Trust me. The battery performance is on par with this phone when I used it also for gaming. And for normal usage, the battery backup is enough for 2 days (which is I haven't tested on my asus yet). Better than redmi note 3 imo.

So that 7hrs of SoT was a heavy usage ? Sounds like a disappointment to me. My Mi Max 2's minimum SoT always get 12hrs SoT without fail with heavy usage..15hrs if using 100% wifi
Sot not heavy usage though

Yes, it's 8 Hours actually.
And about battery, I admit that Mi Max 2 has a best battery performance in the world right now (based on GSMarena). So I understand your disappointment.

Confirmed, the battery performance of this phone are little bit better than Lumia 640 XL
Good battery life on this thing!
But could be more optimized ?
Almost matching up with my Lenovo P2's Beast Battery (The record was 19 Hours SOT)!!
My device gives 9hrs to 12 hrs of sot. Always on 4g , 2 hrs of gaming (tekken) , rest wtsapp , youtube web browsing etc.
On 4G .. 7 hrs. YouTube .. 1.75 hrs. WhatsApp .. 2 hrs. VLC movie .. 30 min. Calls
Amazing Battery

Wrong, Lenovo P2 has the best battery life in the world check the facts. And Mi Max 2 is uncomfortable for pocket, it's more a tablet than a phone.

Been using the Mi A2 (4gb/64gb) for 2 days now. 70% will give you about 4 hours+ screen on time. So i'm expecting to last comfortably till 5 hours. Battery drain is good, slept for 10 hours and lost 6%, screen did not turn on anytime during that period.

For the above screenshots, I fully charge it in the evening a day before. I bought the device 3 days ago. Can only measure the battery life after finished setting up to my likings. I think the battery will be better after few full cycles. Today is my 2nd full cycle to test after fully charge it last night.
Add:
4+ hrs SOT on 50% battery usage
I fully charged the device last night. I'm on 35% right now with 2:30 Screen on Time.
I have no idea how you guys manage 5h+

Without knowing what apps you are using the SOT value alone is not saying much
how do you guys get those insane screen on times? I get maybe a max of 3.5
I have gps always on, and mobile data but it alternates with my home wifi.
I really do not get it. Before i have a redmi note 3 and a redmi 5 plus and i never broke the 4.5 h mark. It's only because of the GPS and data?
Edit: I'm going to post a screenshot at the end of the day with my SOT

How is your cellular reception? Do you usually have good signal? Bad signal can cause a lot of battery drain
well, this has always been a problem, I even changed carriers this year.
it sucks that in oreo you can't see the reception signal chart anymore
