Only about 2-5% drain during midnight with WiFi on and network on

Battery draining on standby
My mi a1s battery is draining very fast. My phone was on airplane mode for one hour and the battery was 75% after one hour it was 58%. Why is it draining so fast on standby

Anyone experience doze not working after the latest Oct 30 OTA update? My phone now is 100% awake and has 0% deep sleep (according to BetterBatteryStats v2.2.2). TIA.

My MI A1 drain about 1% during the night, with wifi on.
I'm rooted and unlocked. i try greenify (donation) with root and xposed functions activated but it drains much more..

Are you on the latest Oct 30 build? The overnight drain used to be much less when it was on the previous Oct 14 build. Thanks!

New october patch

Same issue here

Hey guys have any of you with the battery drain issue tried a full wipe by restoring to factory settings to see it that helps?

yep mate i got 3 hours of SOT yester day and i got down to 52% which is a huge improvement

Hi, I also have battery drain issue.
My Mi A1 has the october patch installed, I received a week ago.
With a full charge cant have more than 3 hours of SOT until the battery completly discharges. I use to whatsapp and some 4G internet navigation.
I have turned off the system UI tuner.
I restored the phone to factory one time without a full wipe, only I restored to factory from android menu. (Sorry but, what means a full wipe? To wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache from recovery?)
I see that I´m not the unique with battery drain issue, has someone solved this issue?
Do you think that with december patch or with the arrive of Android Oreo this problem could be solved?

For those who get 1-3% drain overnight, do you guys turn off network and wifi?

Wastes 3% for 8 hours at night which is horrible. Cellular data off, GPS off, and only one app which polls the Internet (K-9 Mail).

It's amazing

Not a drop in percentage while I'm asleep with airplane mode on.

Gives me 2 days
I figure this will shake some things up. The attached screenshot speaks for itself, 100% legitimate. The SOT on this one wasn't much, it was 3 hours I believe, but I could be wrong. I'm an abnormal user, I turn my wifi/cell/gps off when not in use. I generally don't use my cell phone a whole lot.
There was one time were the phone had been on for two days and the SOT was 9 hours I believe. But again I could be slightly wrong, it was awhile ago.
Seems like a good battery life
With beanstalk ROM, i got 0% drain for 10-12 hours in flight mode.
Stand by is very good.

With the use of Amplify, I get 0% drain overnight.
even with stock, i can have drain of only a few digits.. max of 3 to 4
Near zero standby drain at night
Last night I got 0 drain overnight.
Since all my reviews are based on experience from EMUI, I noticed about 4-6% battery drain over night even when using Greenify to disable to most 3rd party apps. I don't know if I should complain about it because that phone is using dual SIMs. Rating for it is 6/10.

I noticed unusual battery drains when I unboxed it. Charged it to 100% and then would drain quickly until 50% in just about 35mins and then it would work somewhat better. It was their huawei awful software.

Almost the same story here. I had to use my phone with so much precaution so that battery doesn't drains quickly. I hated every bit of EMUI.
TBH, I am not a 'fan' of every phone company. For that reason, I may open mine in about 6-7 years with my friends. They always add one thing and exclude 2 things from the phone.

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.

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.

Purchased last month, the battery life so far is average when phone at night it drains 2-3% on average
Airplane mode?

no NFC,
AOD - On,
All sensors like - Smart Stay, Smart Capture, Smart Alert, Easy Mute etc Off

Try turning off all radios ( airplane mode ) when going to bed and see how much discharge you get once you wake up in the morning.

Is yours snapdragon or exynos?
sure i will do that tonight. But even during the day, i woke up at 7AM with 75% and now at 12:20PM it is 34%. I would have been in 30 mins of call, checked mails and whatsapp messages and that's all. NO games, NO video (youtube) etc. Isn't that too much? I am on 4G and all other radios off.

1% battery loss when on airplane mode with mid-battery saver on.
Will try without battery saver to see
Anyone ever tried analyzing the difference in battery drain between WQHD vs Full HD?
Read somewhere that there is no difference given that the phone still needs to push the same amount of pixels it was built to do. Curious..
in Exynos variant i am loosing 3% battery drain for 6.5hrs at night after turning off wifi and mobile data

Not necessarily. Could also mean that the signal from your telco company is not as strong as the other person's. This means your phone is pushing more power trying to get a better signal.

That's true. My house has bad telco network. Wi-fi does improve the battery drain a lot. Also my N9 is coming out to show its colors. Finished 2 work days with 40%+ battery.
So far,with Airplane mode 2% and without 3%. No AOD. Also rocks 2.5 days before recharging. At 2.5 days I have 15% battery left. I am impressed but it is still early.
Hahaaaaahahahahaah 2.5 days... GTFO !

2% an hour? How the hell do you get 2.5 days off a charge if you're draining 2% an hour? My standby averages .3-.7h an hour. Usually closer to .7%. I wish it stuck closer to .3% because I think .7% an hour is too high for the great reception I get.

Losing maybe 1% or 2% for a whole night.
Turned off everything I could from reading different threads about wakelocks. AOD is on, but it turns itself off when the phone has its screen facing the table.
Using ElementalX kernel.
Always on Display uses 1% per hour and you can't schedule it to turn off at night, so this is definitely not a 2 day battery. Flipping the phone face down while sleeping is a workaround.

How the hell do you only lose 1-2%? I got a brand new 3a and lose about 5-6% overnight. Can you tell me what you disabled? I've only disabled digital well being, close all background apps, and have AOS disabled.
I restricted
- Android System
- Google Play Store
- Google
- Pixel launcher
as they were listed as using the most power overnight.
I've noticed no negative side effects until now.
Be careful though!
Your milage may vary.

Are you also using battery saver mode? I can't get below 5% unless I use battery saver mode.
Alright, I found out my weak signal was draining my battery. You can test this by leaving your phone in airplane mode overnight. If you get far less drain with airplane mode on, it's either your weak wifi signal, or weak cell reception. For me, it was my cell reception. I left the phone in a spot of the house overnight that has strong signal and I only drained 3%. That is only with digital well being disabled. All the other settings recommended above were reverted in a reset.
Actually I discovered the same the other day after having added a 2nd phone number through an eSIM. The respective network has zero signal in our bedroom. The same night the phone started draining the battery significantly more.
zer0 % drain over 10 hours last night even with Bluetooth and Wifi on.
I was probably tired last night and slept while watching Netflix ( otherwise I always turn bt, wifi, data etc off before sleeping.), And woke up just now to find this. I'm amazed. The only mobile I've ever had 0% drop overnight before this was with 2XL. But with everything turned off before sleeping. Absolutely Loving my experience with 3a, touchwood.
My only settings are-
Stock Launcher
No Root done.
Bt and wifi Scanning Off.
Digital wellbeing disabled.
Google location history ON.

It looks as if you have an LTE transmitter very close.
I am pretty shure that helps.
The 0% is very cool indeed.

Dunno about that...
I've used 7t, 11 and Pixel 3 at the same place(where I live) and it's always been 2-5% overnight at best.
0 is 0 though...
Another instance of 0% drain.
These are happening regularly now.
How are you guys disabling Digital Wellbeing? The option is greyed out on my phone. Running the stock ROM on the January 2020 patch.
