First impressions - battery
With my old Samsung S5, if I wanted to play games at night, I needed to charge it in the end of the working day. With Redmi 5 plus I only charge when I go to sleep and it still has around 45 to 50% of available battery.
Before this I owned a redmi pro phone with 4000mah battery and I have to charge the phone about two to three times a day and with rn 5+ have to charge after one day of haves usage
42,5 hours from battery, 8 hours and 38 minutes screen-on-time

Update on screen on time
I have changed to global ROM (I was using the Chinese with English language) and it seems that the battery drains a little bit faster then before. Still it's enough for a day. At the end I have around 30%.
Not bad
From 90 percent. Miui 9.2.13.0.
Mine only 2 days
Only wifi and some music.
Very nice.
On LTE whole day
In my experience no matter what your android is you need to charge it at the day end. As for mi note 5 with calls, gaming and networking it reaches bottom by day end.
The screen on time is very good!! It minimum last me for 6 hours if I'm use it with very heavy gaming and 9hours I get in maximum SOT with normal use.
Note: I'm a heavy user! Facebook, Instagram, wechat, whatsapp, Twitter, dragon nest m, crusader quest, and etc. More than 80app in my phone.
Awesome and very impressive battery life on the Vince!
Just got my device a day ago. Charged it up to 100% and then updated apps/ OS.
My usage is limited to YouTube, Telegram and some light gaming only as this is my secondary device.
Mostly on WiFi. Using a Jio sim for data.
Not rooted and no battery optimisation done yet.
I guess I am the first user to post SOT on custom ROM.
I really hate MIUI!
I've been using the latest Liquid Remix and I am very pleased!

Hey guys.
First of all, I'm new around here and I have my galaxy S2 for around 1 week.
On my first CustomRom I had an issue where it was draining my battery really fast in standby, so I changed the rom to checkrom revohd v4.
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKK5-CL754841 [email protected] #2
(I believe its syah)
My standby drain problem was over.
Yet, I downloaded Betterbatterystats to double check and it looked fine.
Now, I have another problem.
I'm not naive and I know games consume alot of battery but I am using data off, bluetooth off, gps off, brightness at 10% or 5% all the time, sound at minimum (sometimes even off) while gaming.
In games, no matter which one, it drains really quick.

Now, as you have noticed the smartphone is on for about 23h without charging.
You may say its good, but I barely touched the smartphone except 10min of gaming maybe and some calls/texts.
My question is, its it normal that it drains like this on games?
Also, can you guys notice that sometimes the battery has some charge spikes? So LOL, it recharges battery without being connected to the charger or USB? Is that possible?
I should also say that I already did the battery calibration app.
Please I hope you guys can help me out, I'm sure this drain on games is too much because it didnt drain this much some days ago with my old customrom (however it drained alot in standby)
Edit: I changed kernel to Speedmod hoping to some have improvements while gaming but nop.
Let me say, I tried a game called Guns Bro for 10minutes and it drained me 10% of battery.
From my maths, I can play for 100 minutes, not even 2 hours before the battery dies.
Is this normal? Each 1~2 minute draining 1% battery while gaming? What can I do?
you guys know if this is normal? 2~3 hours of gaming...
Yea the SGSII dies pretty fast when playing games, I'd say around 3 hours of game time is normal. If you wanna play a lot of games, the iPhone is your solution (or a PS vita)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Dude,I don't know about Gun Bros,but Dungeon Defenders will **** your battery up and make your device overheat.It's probably a fault of the game.I'm playing Dead Space,NFS Hot Pursuit,Modern Combat 3 and some others,and I can easily top 2 hours.And that's with my device overclocked(both CPU and GPU) and with about 75% brightness.
Also,DON'T calibrate your battery.It's useless on the S2 as our fuel gauge chip takes care of that very well.As for the spikes,battery percentage is an estimate and,as such,it can be wrong.Give it time and it'll converge towards the real battery level.
my battery drains fast only with heavy games... i think thats normal
Normal, i wish I got that long!
Alright Thanks I was just afraid it was draining too fast for some reason that shouldn't exist.

7-8 hrs on Full network on and medium brightness
Minimum of 5.30 hrs on full brightness and 4g+youtube
Maximum is 9.30 low brightness no data and only text and calls in b/w.
Anywhere between 8 to 9 hrs with moderate to heavy usage, wifi,data always on. Occasionally over 9.5 hrs on casual usage with video streaming, music etc
8 hrs under heavy usage (games, browsing, music, listening to music while browsing and gaming). Haven't tested light usage, maybe it'll pass 9-10 hrs.
6-7h on mobile network
8-9h on WiFi

With active use- over 11 Hours screen ON
P.S. Removed (or freezed) google and xiaomi bloatware apps
I know something is wrong with the phone. Completely wrong amd awkward.
Fully wiped, downgraded and even flashed with custom rom.
Still got this massive battery drain, doing nothing.
I ha e to charge the phone 2 times a day, it has 3:00 - 4:30 SoT
PD1: Pls help someone, i don't know what to do, I'm about to sell it cheaper and buy a different model, atm I've XRN4X (Nikel 4GBx64GB)

Well normal is like 7h on data and 8-10h on wifi. Turn off data when not using the phone, reduce brightness, disable location when you don't really need it.

Lol I already do it, with those settings you've said I get much more screen on time (aprox. 7/9h). Forgot to say that screen on time was by 3d gaming with bluetooth gamepad or/plus bluetooth earphone.

This is the reason, without gaming you should be able to get 8h+ sot.
10hrs of intensive usage
Resurrection Remix 6.0.0
Android 8.1
I tried every ROM and Kernel in the book. Undervolted everything. Cant get more than 6 hours SoT with dual sim, LTE, Wifi enabled at all times. My Redmi Note 3 Pro with a larger screen and fullhd got way better values with the same battery capacity..
Hi i just got my huawei mate 20 pro two days ago and so far i've been using it for around 8 hours since fully charge, with around 3-4 hours of use and i've depleted 50% of the battery with a usage of spotify/youtube/line and whatsapp. Just wondering if everyone is having similar battery life as mine or not or even better. I'm using the wqhd+ as my resolution as well as mobile data all the time'.

That's about right since I usually get 7 to 8 hours of screen on time within 24 hours.
That's about right, when i had the 20 Pro, i got 7-8 sometimes 9 depends on the usage.
It was the best battery life i had, until i purchased the Mate 20 X.

What made you purchase the Mate 20X?
Also how does the battery life compare?
I wanted a huge phone with even bigger battery, better speakers and the rest were bonus.
The difference in battery life is huge, i can get 11 o 14 SOT depends on situation, heavy use and gaming could be around 9.5 to 10 sot.
Battery optimization is great, M Pen and better cooling is nice as well.

Ahh ic ic just finished yesterday with around 6% left
Here are some screenshots played pubg from 23% till 6% at full setting for an hour straight hahaha i'm just wondering how people could get 2 days or 1 days with 9+ hours of sot
Hi guys!
With your help i try to create rough a comparison between all roms and their battery usage/drain.
For sure it wont be 100% accurate because everyone uses their phone differently, but i try to value posts from similar users and usages higher and try to take an average amount. Lets try it at least.
Rules/Guidelines:
- Stock Kernal
- No bigger modifications like underclocking GPU & CPU
- [important] Post screenshot of active/idle % per hour & sot (preferably from same monitor app maybe "Franco Kernal Manager" is popular) + screenshots of full battery/device(inclusive "display") usage in settings.
- May temporarily disable battery saver apps for this day posting screenshots
- Post Screenshots of a "full day" not only of 2-3 hours and at best not more then a single day.
- Add the Rom version and Gapps variant
- Be fair & please dont troll & fake (like leaving the phone screen on while doing nothing on it or photoshop ...)
Google Spreadsheet Table
On this Spreadsheet i will collect all your data, maybe later i will drop some charts or search for a different service.
Advice/improvement tips are appreciated.
Thanks.
SOT for me means screen off time.

The details are in the last picture. I always limit battery charge to 80 % and never go to zero. No gapps. 23 frozen apps, 31 running.
Ressurection remix is f*****g insane
14h sot from 100% to 8% with every battery saving mode on

With a light use everyday (a few pictures shot and sent through Telegram, one hour music listening through bluetooth) it appears RR can last more than 10 days. I bet that if I wanted to charge to 100 %, it could last 2 weeks. I wish I had that ROM on my Mi Note 10. In my screenshots, full charge means 80 % because I want this battery to last longer.

I cant add anything to my table if you dont provide all the data i need, mentioned in the rule section. Aswell your usage is way to light for a "normal/moderate usage".
But i appreciate your images aswell, it looks insane.

That's it!? You bought a smartphone to use only two apps?
I'm on 12.5.12 stable xiaomi.eu and I can say that if I play a silly game(not intense graphics) for about 3 hours, the battery will be dead.
I can't tell if it's the rom, or the phone as it came with bootloader unlocked and xiaomi.eu weekly from november, and I switched to stable in the first day.
How's your battery life?
Also on Xiaomi.eu, but a bit older weekly, about 4 hours screen on time, but always varies a lot. But im pretty disappointed by the battery life.
Was about the same on Stock rom too.

What? 4 hours screen on time? I have a lot more on my MIX 4 (Stock).
I mean it varies a lot, sometimes it only uses 10% in an hour, sometimes it drains like crazy, but i usually just barely make it through the day.
i can get a full days use easy, but if you game on it no surprise.
If everything's ok today, I think I will move to official stable miui13

Has your battery life improved?
Unplugged it last night at about 3 AM.
Woke up this morning, used it for the whole day, including gaming like Rocket League and now I have 55%.
I keep it at the highest brightness I can with BT and WIFI6 connected, 5G voLTE and voWIFI on at all times.
I dug around the software for new features and there are some, but not usable for me.
All in all, for a China Beta it's stable and I could imagine working even better if i did a clean flash.
This is how several hours of gaming with brightness and sound @ 100% look like.

I charged it now to 100% .
I barely get 3.5 hours of screen time. Very unimpressed I mist say. My previous K20 pro used to last for 2 days when it was still new!
With the currently latest PixelExperience I get ~20h on a full charge with basically everything turned on. I do however notice the battery draining rather quickly when in use.
On xiaomi.eu 13.0.6.0 with my constant 2-3 minutes checking of new notifications and bluetooth headphones connected for 8 hours, I'm getting trough the day without any bigger problems.
//Edit1: Trying to charge as little as possible - From like 10% remaining to the full battery to keep it as healthy as possible. In the last year of this, battery lost about 11% of its capacity
