Hello guys,
My question is which ROM seem to be best for you in battery life? Im talking about my R3Pro(ido) device. I've been using xiaomi.eu's stables from beginning which has great 8h SOT, but now experiencing like 3h SOT with LineageOS 14 always updated with Xposed and all day data/WiFi on. Any ideas? Should I change back to MIUI?
Thanks

U can try:RR,SudaMod,Lineage OS 15 Unofficial or PixelExperience 8.1.
The UNTEST-20171122 version of Resurrection Remix N has the best battery life for both screen on and off time, hands down. Was a lifesaver in a recent job where I listened to hours of podcasts per day to keep sane. Keep away from Oreo ROMs for the time being, theyre still largely broken apart from PixelExperience (which instead has the fun problem of ridiculously fast battery drain.)

I've installed this version you're talking about on my friend's phone and he cannot go over 3 hours of SOT, he must charge the phone before going to bed.. did you install some kernel too or anything else?

No. The only things I flash on my device are the ROM, GApps and Magisk. The battery usage when the screen is off is the prizewinner here. It rarely goes down more than 2% after being left for more than 2 hours, which is ideal for me. Still though, I'm pretty sure I get more than 3 hours of screen on time. Learn to use some basic battery saving methods; turn the brightness to 50% or lower, turn off wifi or data when you're not using it...or better yet, learn to restrain your usage of it when out and about
When I go out, the phone is generally being used consistently all day via me using Bluetooth headphones along with some occasional use of 4G data. It usually never gets past the 40% mark by time I'm back home and I'm usually out for more than 5-6 hours per day. Honestly I'm not personally sure what the issue with having to charge it daily is...I've never had a phone which didn't require such a task, with the exception of things like the original Nokia 3310.

I did the same on my friend's phone: Rom, gapps mini and Magisk. I can't tell you about his usage of the phone, but I've seen battery stats and it just can barely reach 3 hours of SOT, the usage is mostly of socials and music.. This rom here and latest LOS builds are just very battery draining, I don't know what to do with that phone! Anyway, thank you for the reply and the tips, I'll let him know!
What about MIUI? Maybe the EU version? Somedoby that tried that out can tell which will be the pros and the cons? Is it still on Lollipop?

Ahh, social media apps can very easily drain the battery from what I remember. The Facebook app is especially bad for it if I recall correctly. Perhaps grab a Wakelock detector app, see if anything is keeping the phone awake and then use Greenify to stop the apps from doing that.
With regards to MIUI, I seem to recall stock MIUI (from the official Xiaomi site) definitely having the best battery life out of every other rom I've used, with MIUI.eu not being as good but better than other custom roms. In terms of pros and cons, there isn't much. It works a little differently to regular Android so there's some bothering aspects to it (such as the Files/Documents app being disabled by default for some unexplained reason, meaning you have to re-enable it after every reboot.) And yes, It's still on Lollipop sadly, meaning apps like password managers etc can't use the fingerprint scanner.
Honestly I'd say wipe everything on the phone, clean flash RR-UNTEST and then slowly re-add all the apps and see if one in particular causes heavy battery drain.

i have installed some roms. when i install for the first time, battery time is good. but whenever charge my s3 for the second time battery drains faster.
Lastly, i installed ArchiDroid V1.7.15. Standby time was more than perfect. on avarage usage, 3,5 days
But after i charge it for the second time, battery drains faster
what is my fault?
Let the ROM settle. use what ROM you want. Charge it few times. It should pass like one week at least tohave a good view on how the battery performs.
Bloatware, apps, wallpapers, startup apps, backgrounds.. they will all consume power.

yes but i install the same apps and system each time
Are you on a cm or Touchwizz rom ?
Personally, my method for having a pretty good battery life is like this :
- After you flash your rom let the battery get empty and then charge it to the max without have it on, just plugged in.
- Repeat this method for at least 2 times and then you will get a good average of what the battery life looks like on this rom.
Keep in mind that each rom have different battery life, because of all the tweaks and optimizations that the developers add to it.
And also, don't forget that AOSP rom ( CyanogenMod, ParanoidRom, etc... ) are slightly less under the official samsung rom in terms of battery life. That's why a large number of people prefer official samsung rom instead of the AOSP one.
I think that everyone does have your problem actually
thank you
i am on ArchiDroid V1.7.15 rom
No problem
interesting, i did it 3 times
3,5 - 4 days standby time with medium usage
when i recharge from zero, it drops 85% in 4 hours, with very little usage
reformat, reinstall ArchiDroid V1.7.15 rom. and it is great again...
i do not understand anything

Hello guys
Just wanted to share with you my experience with the OnePlus 2 concerning the SOT.
When I first got the phone (ordered from Gearbest), it had Hydrogen OS, it was a bit laggy and crappy battery life. I was scared as I thought that my device was faulty since it's ordered from china. I flashed Oxygen OS 2.1 through TWRP after full wipe, had only root and using Greenify, it got a bit better, but still, it wasn't perfect, there was some lag here and there (wasn't able to go beyond 52k in Antutu), and I would reach 3h30 SOT at best with heavy usage (my daily usage usually contains some gaming, listening to music, lots of browsing and facebook/messenger, whatsapp, youtube.. etc).
Until someone in the OnePlus forums suggested that I install AK kernel, so I did, and boy am I amazed. Performance suddenly become way better (62k in Antutu), and the most important thing, is the SOT results I'm getting now. Battery drained 40% while I got 3 hours of SOT as you can see in the provided screenshot. I played Asphalt for a bit, did some browsing and youtube and facebook, took some photos, used 4G for about an hour of this time, with GPS on battery saving, sync off, and 40% brightness. Android system and Android OS seem to drain a lot of battery though, would probably get better results if this gets fixed.
Seriously I'm so ****in' satisfied! Kudos to the developers of AK kernel, kudos to OnePlus for making such an amazing device at such a price (pretty sure you can't get these SOT results on the most expensive devices like Samsung or LG).
This proves that the device itself is a beast, it just needs the perfect software/kernel for it and nothing can stop it.
I hope that OnePlus team releases a more stable OOS version, with more features, probably with Android 6.0 as soon as possible? who knows :laugh:
Share with us your overall experience with your OnePlus 2.
Cheers.
Still on the same cycle.
PS: forgot to mention that the phone's temperature became waaaay better after flashing AK kernel. The phone barely gets a bit warm and that happens when I'm gaming for a long duration or using 4G. It stays pretty cool on WIFI, with tons of apps running all at the same time (thanks to 4GB of RAM).
Glad to hear it. I will root it asap and test some kernels. Hope I have same experience
I have found great improvements using this kernel. i found playing a tower defense game for an hour took 20% battery. However battwry stats not accurate - restarting phone can see a drop of 10%.
First 3 charge cycles where 0% to 100%, and after 2% to 100%. Have never reset battery stats tho since 3 clean rom/kernel flashes

What tower defense game... My OPT drains so much battery with Kingdom rush origins and frontiers. I guess I could play it for 3 hours straight with one charge though...
sent from my OPT
With latest AK v.013, I am getting a battery life of almost 28 Hours with SOT around 5 Hrs. I don't use data and WiFi in on 95% of the time. Usage includes some music, Clash of Clans, Whatsapp, Mail, Twitter and other few apps. Kudos to AK for this amazing performing kernel.

3 hours of straight gaming is awesome!
Sorry to say that, but it's nothing special. Battery life depends most of the apps you are using. I've got similar scores on stock kernel. Look at the screenshot. From 90% it's 5h sot with 18% left. So kernel thing=control. But battery life=common sense ?
I have the same usage on stock kernel as AK kernel, using the same apps, yet the battery stats are way different. How can you explain that?
Mod Edit
There is a thread here on same topic hence use the same for all such discussions.
Thread Closed.
Hi everyone, iv'e bougth an OPX and 2 RMAS later i found out that the problems my phone had were all due to software, knowing that i rooted and started getting into the whole android world.
Everything went butter smooth and the problems that i had i easily fixed due to the amazing threads people make, but i think i have an battery draining issue, but then again i always like to find problems where they dont actually exist ( Every tech gadget i get has a problem until i make 100 threads and realize its just me). So i started of by flashing the blu_spark kernel on stock OOS and it was running amazing, but since i had so much at my disposition i decided to try some stuff, i went ahead and install the aswhins CM 13 and some Gapps, it was buggy as hell and i was finding it weird until i realized i had flashed the very first version . After getting the lastest one evry thing was running awsome but my battery life was alot worse than it usually was (on the blu_spark one), so i went on the CM13 thread and asked what was the kind of SoT time and overall performance of the battery and someone told me it averages around 3 hours SoT but that he had also runned the blu_spark kernel on the default OOS and it was alot better, so i got really happy i didnt have any problem and it was normal, after a while i wanted to just make sure and i decided to use my backup (which is stock everything) and then proceded to flash blu_spark kernel, to my suprise the battery life time was worse then on the CM 13 ROM, but then again theres a chance i was just paranoid and because i looked my at my battery life so much it started to seem like it, so after knowing my story i would like to know your guys SoT and battery loss over nigth.
Do you think a 1% battery loss every 3-5 minutes of youtube is normal? Thanks!

About 6-7 hours SoT, virtual 0,0% idle battery drain. If I go to sleep with 95%, I'll wake up with 95% (or 94, 93, if I have wifi or data turned on). Sorry, don't have screenshots here. Everything depends on your usage (I never play games, for example). If you know how to configure your kernel to your personal usage, you can get better life from your battery; search the threads of blu_spark and boeffla kernel to learn (and to see some ss from people with similar phone usage).
To virtual 0,0% of idle drain, you need Amplify; if you're interested, start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-nlpunbounce-reduce-nlp-wakelocks-t2853874

I have to charge my phone each 2 days, more or less (I use Greenify too).
Oh, and 1% in 5 minutes of youtube seems pretty normal to me.
Hope it helps.

I am using boeffla kernel with cm13 and idle battery drain is pretty much 0%. Last night, before sleeping it was 56%, morning it was at same level. I always turn off wifi-data before going to sleep. I use greenify and amplify as well. On wifi, my SOT is around 4-5.5 hrs. In LTE, its 2-3 hrs. LTE drains battery faster, so can't blame any ROM for that. I am satisfied with it. Whatever you try, give it 2-3 days, initial days of setting a ROM is always bad on battery.
I've had my Redmi Note 2 since August or September of last year. When I initially received it through GearBest, battery life was horrendous and the phone was hot all the time. I frantically searched for how to install custom ROMs, and after many hours of hopping around sites, I figured it out and fixed the issue. Battery life was quite good from then on out, and I rarely finished a day with less than 70% battery and an hour or two of SOT. I still got the impression that my battery life wasn't as good as the people who were getting 4+ hours of SOT, but I couldn't really complain since I'm not a super heavy user. Changing from MIUI to AOSP and CM based ROMs didn't seem to have a big impact.
Fast forward to January and I suddenly started ending days with 50% battery with minimal usage while on one of the first CM ROMs made by Bule. It seemed to happen all at once. This was around the same time as I got my Mi Band 1s, but after installing Gsam battery, trying different ROMs, and going a few days without the MiFit app installed, I determined that it wasn't anything related to having the new device connected to the phone. Nothing seemed to suggest that any apps I had installed were sucking more battery than they used to.
Then, about a month ago, my battery life took another dip and I found myself finishing days with 20-40% battery left with only an hour of SOT. I'm often at 60-70% as I leave my university in the early afternoon, and I hardly use my device at all during class.
Currently, I seem to lose about 1% of battery per minute of SOT. Standby isn't too bad, but definitely not as good as it used to be. Having problems across the board suggests to me that my battery may be faulty and dying slowly. I purchased a new battery, but it hasn't arrived yet.
If the new battery is clearly better than the original, then the problem will be solved. But if it seems to be about the same, then it's possible that it isn't the battery's fault after all and I'm doing something stupid to drain my battery. Update: New battery does not seem to be helping.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried to use the Redmi Note Tool app (making sure to use the setting for CM), but I've seen absolutely zero change in battery life. I've changed ROMs at least twice since the problems arose to no avail. WiFi and Bluetooth are on all of the time, but articles I've read seem to suggest that these things are rarely to blame for poor battery life. GPS is used occasionally but isn't on consistently. Screen brightness is set to Auto with the bar below half.
Update: For those who have helped and those who may have similar issues, I believe I've found the solution. After completely re-installing the original China ROM with Fastboot and the MiFlash tool, the issue seems to be solved. I really have no idea what the issue was, but it was clearly something pretty fundamental that wasn't getting reset with TWRP wipes and ROM swaps.
Just in case someone wants it, here are the guides I followed:
ROM: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
TWRP: https://felixsenada.wordpress.com/2...ng-twrp-recovery-and-root-redmi-note-23prime/
If you have twrp I suggest you to take a backup of the current rom and try messing around.
1. Try 3C Toolbox Pro or any free app tha allows you to change the permissions/freeze etc running apps. Change the apps tha start with the device. Freeze some unnesessary just for the sake of testing.
2. How many apps are you using? Not the ones you have installed and sittings, but actually using everyday. Did you install any in the same period you noticed things go sideways? 1% per minute is not a good sign.
3. Install wakelock detector and monitor what is draining your battery over time.
4. Clear cache/davlik through twrp and wait the phone to recreate the files. Maybe thats just it.

Thank you for your response.
I will look into 1 and 3. As far as apps go, I have a total of 51 apps installed (in the drawer including all the pre-loaded apps), but I only use an absolute maximum of about 12 of them, and on an average day, I only use a handful of those. The only things I can remember installing around the same time I first started having issues were Google Fit and Mi Fit. However, neither showed up in Gsam as suspects, and after changing ROMs on at least one occasion, I didn't reinstall them just to make sure. I still had the same issues with or without them.
4 is something I do regularly whenever I change ROMs, so I don't think that's the solution.
Just to make absolutely sure that I hadn't already overlooked something, this morning I turned off auto brightness and location. It's still too early to tell, but I think turning off auto brightness may have helped.
Nice. Lets see how this goes.
charge at 100 % with screen off flash latest china stable via fastboot(not recovery) use phone for 3 days like this(i now it's a pain but its worth trust me) .

Update: I've been traveling for the past two weeks or so, so I haven't been able to respond.
I flashed the latest Xiaomi.eu build before leaving on the trip, but this did not help noticeably, so I can pretty definitively say that it is not an issue with any of the ROMs I've been using. Although it was never really suspected, I suppose this also confirms that it doesn't have to do with my house/work being in a bad spot for cell/WiFi or something odd like that.
Having returned to find my new battery waiting, it seems the battery is not the issue as I have been getting the same behavior today as usual (only a bit over an hour into the day from 100% charge and I'm already below 90% with 8 minutes of SOT).
Unfortunately, I haven't tried any wakelock detectors or other monitors yet since I wouldn't have had time to figure it out while I was away. I can look into this now, but my instinct says that I probably won't find anything that GSam hasn't been reporting anyway.
Finally, I did manage to get 2 hours SOT out of it one day (with lots of GPS usage as well!) and about an hour and a half yesterday, so I know that it isn't incapable of heavier usage; it just seems that it drains more slowly at random on certain days. The only other thing I've noticed is that, when the battery is draining more slowly, the 'Kernel (Android OS)' seen in the GSam screenshot on the original post drops to being about on par with 'Android System'. I don't really know what this would indicate, but maybe someone else could propose an educated theory.

Thanks for the advice, but I have some clarifying questions to make sure I don't do anything stupid that could brick my phone (an excuse to buy a Mi 5 would be great and all, but I really ought to do my best to make this phone work since it can do everything I need just fine).
Can any ROM be flashed via fastboot, or is there a specific one I need to download? I downloaded the china ROM from here: http://en.miui.com/download-274.html#396
Which method of fastboot flashing should I use? When I originally installed TWRP to get the original ROM off of my device, I was confused and bounced around many different sites trying to get ADB and VCOM drivers working, but I see now that there is a simple MiPhone fastboot tool that seems like it would work fine: http://en.miui.com/thread-145555-1-1.html
Do I need to do any wiping first? Normally I wipe via TWRP, but will the fastboot flash automatically get rid of all the data? Will TWRP be wiped as well since you reference re-installing it later?
Thanks for your help!
http://en.miui.com/thread-283080-1-1.html
download fastboot rom here
extract it with 7zip , WinZip,Winrar (your choice)it's an archive basically since you have installed twrp that means fastboot drivers are already installed
now make sure u have twrp 3.0.2 by jemini since it's modded to not let stock rom overwrite twrp
so the recovery.img by jemini place it in images folder that you've extracted replacing stock mi recovery so you hit two birds with one stone .
than click the .bat file flash all
EVERYTHING must be erased EVEN INTERNAL MEMORY

Hi all,
So I've got a rooted v30 and the battery life is not great, getting about 5 hours screen on time from 100 to 0. I've tried using wakelock but cannot get it to work, keep getting the 'this operation cannot be done' at this time message even after leaving it on for a few days or so. What alternative apps should I use to find out what's causing the drain?
Should say I don't use auto brightness, generally have 0 screen brightness really.
I also get 10% knocked off overnight whilst not using the phone, what prompted me to root the phone was losing 25% over one night once, thankfully that has stopped.
it might be the sim card to blame. i am also having bad battery as long as i am not at home on my wifi, about 5 hours IF i'm lucky, while at home i can even get to 8 damn hours, even while playing games. try using bbs or gsam, and maybe, if you do not urgently need your phone, try supervising it with data on for an hour and then on airplane mode for one hour, and see if there's a difference.
Is this some kind of prank? 5h is bad result? If you have more than 5h means that you not using the phone. Always 3G on, Facebook, messenger, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, chrome. With using everything I'am getting max 4h SOT and about 18-20h out of charger. Where is the magic trick to make a 6-7h SOT??

Sorry, but 14 hours seems impossible. How did you manage to get this? Could you elaborate what apps do you used and how many hours in that 14h SOT?

Would it be safe to say 4-5hr is general SOT?

I get 9+ hours of SOT per charge, and I can get 14+ and have in the recent past, even hit 17.5 hours of SOT at one point (watching some movies). It's not an impossible thing, seriously, but every phone is different and so is every user and how they use their devices.
And... I never use Battery Saver either, go figure.
Here's my 14.75...
My battery life might be worst than the OP
Something going on with Chrome for both of you that are having such horrible drain according to those screenshots. I'd personally say remove Chrome - uninstall it if possible or at least roll it back to the original default version, then clear out the cache on the device/reboot it afterward and then perhaps re-install it to the latest available version. If that doesn't help I'd suspect perhaps the battery itself has seen better days - the V30 has been out for 2+ years now so if you've got one that came from an original production run long ago you might end up having to replace the battery whether you want to or not.
But there is definitely something going on there with respect to Chrome and it's not good. I've been 2-4 hours at a time with Chrome running on my V30 while I looked at Reddit/Tumblr/etc sites, constantly with the display on at 50% brightness where I always have it at home and Flipboard uses way more power on mine than Chrome ever has.

I also get 10h+ with my V50 and moderate usage (30% on lte, 70% on wifi, 1 h calls, and some sms, 30 min video recording and photos, 5-6h YouTube vanced and 3-4 h opera browser. The brightness is auto, let's say 20% of this over 90% and the rest of 80% indoors, with, maybe, 10% and AOD off)
But I have 4000mah battery, better processor - 7nm, and so on. But 17h SOT it seems impossible. Maybe somehow your rooted rom calculates also AOD feature.... ?

Is this some kind of prank? 5h is bad result? If you have more than 5h means that you not using the phone. Always 3G on, Facebook, messenger, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, chrome. With using everything I'am getting max 4h SOT and about 18-20h out of charger. Where is the magic trick to make a 6-7h SOT??

i used to get 10 hours of SoT when i frist got the V30. At my current job, there is no signal yet im still clocking 5+ hours usually almost 7 hours when not at work.

I don't use AOD, it's kinda pointless to me overall - and I'm someone that used to use that feature on a Motorola Moto X which was the first phone to ever have that feature but Motorola is still the only one that really did it right IMO.
I don't use auto-brightness; that's just another thing that can sap up some power for no really good purpose. I leave my V30 at 50% brightness unless I go outside where I typically use 75-90% and never more, I never use 100% brightness and nobody ever really should on any OLED tech displays but that's just a personal preference I suppose. When watching videos I set the brightness to 75% - that 17.5 hour run I had was when I spent time in a hospital where my Wife was undergoing surgery and I had nothing better to do so I watched a lot of videos most of the day into the night, probably 12+ hours of movies/TV shows, etc. The AC plug on the wall in her hospital room was too far away (I just had a 3 foot USB cable with me) so I just let the damned phone run down save for a ~20 minute period (slow charging) where I plugged in with an external battery pack so did influence the run time just a bit (probably added 2 hours overall).
And again, I never use Battery Saver. I don't need it so I never bother enabling it even when the V30 tells me the battery is down low and I should.
Wi-Fi pretty much always unless I'm out and about in town for something which is when I use the T-Mobile service I have, 50% brightness always except in some situations, nothing really running in the background, I don't do social media crap like Facebook or Whatsapp, Twitter, etc. Don't use Bluetooth for much of anything - I do have a Bluetooth speaker at home but most of the time I'm using my laptop at home so I have my headphones on.
Dark themes on as many apps as possible and I'm using the Dark G7 theme from the Play Market that many of us use. I also have no intentions of using Android 9 Pie either, Oreo is damned near perfect on my V30 and I'm not even interested in ruining how well everything works right now.

what version of oreo are you at? im getting some worse battery on pie with my V300L (korean)so i was thinking of going back to oreo since the only positive thing on pie was that manual rotation control. best i could reach on pie was 7 hrs and then i could never do it again even with light usage.
Uhmmm... Oreo is Android 8, and the last update for mine was the 20h build (since it's a converted H931 to a US998).

Apparently the developer of that theme - which was free - has now changed it and it might not work on the V30 with Oreo as it did (and does) for me and they're charging for it too:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.wsdeveloper.g7.dark
There might be another one, I don't know, guess I'll have to back up the APK I have for the older version since it can't be downloaded from the Play Store any longer. This one might work (same developer) but again they're charging for it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.wsdeveloper.g7.outray

Lol I agree. I used to get around 5h SOT on earlier builds of Havoc, which is honestly the best I could ever get, but now I get average 3h SOT on Havoc. I can't even comprehend how people could get even more than that.
Like, no offense to anyone who is getting way more than 5h, but that is just impossible without sacrificing core apps such as Google, Chrome, or play services.
But then again, maybe every V30 was made different. Some people are probably lucky and have maintained a perfectly healthy battery (while mines is already down to 89%).
