Whenever I change the original battery of my Redmi 1s with a Nohon replacement one, with same settings the standby drain goes from 1% every 3hr to 1.5% every 1 hour, thats over 4 times worse standby performance. Looking at battery stats when the Nohon battery is in, the phone is kept awake alot by Android (around 1hr for every 4hr standby). However the battery performs better in actual usage, if I play a game for 30minutes the Nohon loses a bit less percentage. I can replicate the problem over and over again whenever I change the battery back to 3 year old original, stanby drain stops and awake time by Android stops rising.
Its supposed to be one of the best brands for replacement batteries so why is it causing this standby drain issue, is this normal when you change a battery on any android phone and do most people just not notice it?

bump, is it worth buying another replacement battery or is this something that normally happens with replacement batteries?

My battery life was very good in Mini. I used the phone for normal talking (around 30 mins) and 3-4 hrs of GPRS and battery wwas kept around 20-30% at
10PM after fully charged at 7AM. At that time the battery usage status showed something like this.
Display -40-50%
Android System 10%
Cell Standby 2-5%
Phone Idle 2-5%
Others (not remebering)-the remaining
Suddenly two days ago my battery started dischrging very fast and my full charge at 7AM came to zero at 4.30PM with similar use as stated above. But this time the battery usage shows something like this and consumption always remains highest by phone idle & cell standby parameters.
Phone Idle 40%
Cell Standby 30%
Android System 8%
Display 20%
Others - remaining
Now, my battery is draining a lot faster than it ever had two days back.
My battery had consistently been draining at around 1% per hour idle until today. Now I'm seeing it drop 5% in LESS than an hour while idle (idle meaning the screen shuts off and I don't use it).
So my question is, what do Cell Standby and Phone Idle mean? Previously they had both been 2-5% and my idle battery use was excellent. But today they both shot up to the 30-50% range and I'm thinking this may be the cause for the excessive battery drain even while the phone is sleeping.
I have not changed anything during these two days. But again to be sure I "Factory Reset" the phone and reinstalled all the software again but found the problem persisting. Moreover, during my travel to office (which takes about two hours) I find battery drain is minimum and same as my earlier days, i.e., it drains very slowly but once I enter my office hall the rate of drainage increases, But previously in the hall also the drainage rate was very low.
My queston is what may be the cause of this?
The only change which I feel is deterioration is signal level because the calls now frequently gets disrupted which was not the case earlier. Can this be the only cause for such high battery drainage ?
An exactly similar experience can be found in some other blog whose link is below ( for reference only)

Anticipating some advice/solution for improvement from the geeks here.
Thanks
i noticed i had the same issue whenever i installed some apps from the market...i noticed in particular a data counter to screen my phone bills and Quick Profiles.
So i suggest to think abotu the last installed apps and try to remove them one by one until you find the guilty one.
Remember afer uninstall to reboot your phone or you won't notice any difference
Have you recently rooted the phone? When I did mine I found there was a shell process left running that was eating battery (but doesn't show in the battery info screen) - Turning off and on again sorted that out
Thanks for reply. I will try your advices. But today I morning I switched off my charging at 4.45 AM and now at 6.37AM I am seeing my battery at 99% ot bad. Let me see throughout the day.
Even i am experiencing this problem
Phone Idle is 59% and Cell standby 37% for me?
Now i have removed all task managers and Info apps
lets see what happens to the battery life
@acemadmav
Your advise helped me to track my problem. I also use a Data Tracker software which was refreshed at 2 min and was the cause of battery drain. Now I have set it to 30 mins and my phone is back to full battery strength. Discharge started at 7.30AM after full charge. Attended not less than 45 mins of call, an hour of GPRS and I am still at 50% at 10PM.
@tejagamer
My Phone idle & Cell Standby is still high at 30% and 25% respectively. I googled about this and found that "Phone Idle" is the state when phone uses minimum battery required to keep the electronics of the phone alive and "Cell Standby" is battery consumed for communicating with cell towers in standby mode. Finally, when battery consumption is ok the percentage used by Phone Idle & Cell Standby doesn't matter.
Thanks

glad to help...it's been some months i'm "testing" my X10 mini about this kind of things, so i'm getting used to track down problems on my phone
After my stock battery started dying and not holding the charge anymore I bought two new aftermarket batteries (2300mAh) everything went fantastic for some time, then from one day to the other the battery I use daily started draining crazy (even 2% at time) I tried a lot of roms with no luck. Bad battery you say, here is the weird fact, the other battery which used maximum 4-5 times at month keeping it at half-charge, has the EXACT same drain that the other has. Is it possibile that something in the phone has gone nuts and is indicating wrong values? I also ran a full charge-discharge cycle preventing the low battery shutdown through xposed, and it shutdown some minutes after hitting 0%, at full charge indicates 4.300mV is it correct, isn't it?
Also using the *#0228# code (I can't recall now if it's correct) the charge level drops a lot like 30-50% and I noticed that the phone later stays at that % for quite a bit and also the heat from the battery draining stops and the phone stays very cool also while gaming, until it starts draining again
No one?
You can look at the simple battery-statistics in setting to find abnormal consumption by an app.
Otherwise buy a battery from Samsung's e-store: I bought several 'original' batteries (not for S3) from Amazon and mentioned too early wear after 1/2 year.
Replacement batteries are a waste of money. I had 2. 1 bloated and the other dies in a few minutes. Upgraded my phone instead.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
I'm not really satisfied with battery life of my less than two months old Realme GT 12/256 GB.
What is your average screen on time on this phone?
Mine would be in the 3.5-5 hours range in a day and a half, maybe more if I watch a movie or something.
I'm not playing games and only have Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook... usual stuff.
I didn't see any tanglible difference between "auto" and 60 Hz screen mode regarding battery life.
Also, what percentage of battery drain do you see overnight?
I'm on latest firmware, tried every possible battery saving combination, but always have at least 3% battery drain overnight (usually around 4% in 7-8 hours) and that with radio and all apps off and various battery saving settings applied (global and per app).
I'm starting to believe it's "normal" for this phone and its SD 888 chipset.
Thanks.

I have very similar results as you. Battery life is just ok.
Current battery life:
from 93% to 28% in 1d 19h, SOT: 3h 15min.
Before this I had Poco F3 for a month or so and I don't recall exactly, but it was something like a 1%, 2% max. drain overnight with pretty much the same usage pattern.
Also I have Lenovo tablet with far weaker MTK CPU but not much bigger battery (5000 mAh and 10.3'' screen) and that one almost doesn't use battery in standby mode (beats all phones I had).
I'm currently disabling various apps and testing and I'll post here if I find out something useful.
Optimized standby - Ultra standby makes exactly no difference in my current setup so I turned it off completely.
Quick device connect is also turned off and not in use, as far as I can tell.
So mine phone was draining battery fast as expected with a few years old device and battery wear. I took it to a repair shop and had a new battery installed.
Now the phone has been draining just as fast as the old battery which caused me concern as I should have seen some noticeable improvement.
Well it turns out when my phone gets to 5 percent the screen will dim which is the norm. HOWEVER I can move the brightness slider back up and my phone will go to 1% and just stay there.
I am able to play Youtube videos at full brightness while sitting at 1% battery for almost 2 hours straight before the phone finally dies and shuts off.
Is there a special way to recalibrate this battery as im guessing something is waaaaay off with the calibration?
"Stock - non rooted phone"
You just have to recalliberate your battery percentage
Hello all,
I recently got a battery replaced for my poco F1 .
The battery is currently giving me almost 5 hours of screen on time which feels less.
I discharged the phone till it switched off and charged it back to 100% to have it calibrated. Although, after I kept it on standby overnight for almost 5-6 hours, I observed the battery drained to 91% without any significant activity.
I performed some analysis by visiting the battery and performance area but found mismatch in the power consumption here and what the indicator shows.
In the attached image , my battery is down to 1% but the power consumption shows almost 2007 mah consumption i.e., 51%.
Can anyone help in letting know if it's a problem with software or the battery is weak? Because my phone switched just mins after that.
For the latter case, even if it is then shouldn't the consumption show nearly 99% consumption of the battery has less juice?
Is there any way to know if really the battery is weak or a fake?
