Redmi Note 4x Battery Issue - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
I have a Redmi Note 4x which I'm using it since January 2018. I have the latest MIUI V10.2.3.0 installed. It was working just fine so far.
For the last 3 days, I'm facing a problem. I've noticed that the phone is getting hot and the battery is draining down very fast when it is connected to the internet.
I searched the internet and found a youtube video which shows that this could be an issue with Duo app update. I didn't update Duo app recently but I uninstall the update anyway. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem. I have also removed several google app's updates but the problem still exists.
I've used Simple System Monitor to see resource uses. And found that if my device is connected to the internet then its always downloading and uploading data continuously and there's always some disk writing going on. If I try to install something then its showing pending for a long time. Overall the phone becomes very slow.
I thought it could be some virus or malware. So I installed Kaspersky Internet Security for Android and scanned my device and it could not find any virus or malware.
I was thinking to do a factory reset but I read that it might not solve the problem
Now I don't know what I should do. Can anyone please help me what I can do to solve this problem.
Thank you

I'll also have almost similar problems like you, I tried all the methods that I've found but nothing has been working. My phone always feels hot even when I turn it off, battery draining like crazy and I need to change it 4 or 5 times a day, so for the last tries I change a battery and you know what it worked. Now my phone was working normally again no more heating and drained issues.

So you are saying if I change my battery then it might work? In my case, if it is not connected to the internet, then everything is fine, the phone is not hot, the battery is normal, and the phone is fast. So I'm not sure

Please don't take this the wrong way but, thank God someone else has this problem!
I've done numerous Google searches and I've not found the problem mentioned by anyone else!
It didn't do it when I bought it but I'm not sure at what point it did start. It can go for a week or so with no problem and then it will do it randomly - sometimes twice a day (never had it more than 3 times in one day).
It happened twice yesterday but not at all today - today I've used my phone for internet, map navigation, playing music & multiple everyday apps.
I've not done anything with the phone since I got it, it was SIM-free bought in the UK.
Where do you keep it? I kept mine in my inside coat pocket and it happened. I now keep it in my bag and it's not done it since. I think there could be an over heating problem...

it's happened everywhere

Yes, same here - everywhere! Locker at work, bedside table, trouser pocket....
Interestingly, I've also found that it's only when it is on stand-by, i.e I am not using it.
it could be that when off. the cpu drops to too low a speed and crashes. or u could be running out of memory. also check your storage space.

Total device space available: 1.4GB
SD Card: 29GB
1.4GB should still be sufficient surely!
However, interestingly, I thought everything except my Apps went to the SD card as per my set up but there's 776MB of pics/vids & even 5.21MB of audio.
Now, I can't for the life of me find how I can change my storage settings - anyone?!
Cheers.
try resetting it to factory settings (backup your files first) then observe..maybe there is a program or apps that causes the random shut off. if the problem still persist bring it to service if it still has warranty.
quick question.. do you have power saving mode enabled ? if so.. u could switch it on or off, to see if that does anything.
Also to get things of my internal sd. i use. folder mount, and link2sd. p.s. is your phone rooted ?
Hi guys, it happened to me at the very beguinning. What i did? i just rooted the phone, very easy 2 seconds. Then i downloaded Aptoide and download root uninstaller. I've removed all samsung bloatware and also several non useful google apps.. Then phone never turned off back again.
I hope to help you with my feedback. :good::good:
regards.

Not confident rooting the phone and not at the stage of willing to try a factory reset!
I'm not convinced that it's everytime but a significant factor I've noted is that it's common when there are app updates.
When I turn the phone back on, there is usually an icon at the top of the screen alerting me to an update.
shahaf-l, is this something you recognise?
Mine turned off and it hasnt turned on again, apparently its not charging the battery. I took it to a repair shop and they said is death, warranty was invalidated due to a drop I had that happened long before the fail ocurred.
Hope someone finds a solution. I will try charging the battery on a battery charger and try turning it on again, hopefully the phone is just not charging and thats why I can no longer turn it on.
Decided to leave the issue until a new firmware update came along as I had a feeling there could be one - there hasn't been!
However, my phone hasn't turned itself off for over a month now......

N9 Marshmellow / Nougat Battery Problems

Hey everyone. i've had my nexus 9 for a long time now but every now and then i get a few issues with the battery for some reason and i cant find a solution that works tbh.
Right now i'm running android nougat 7.0 and the thing has been great so far but just today i realized that the battery had been draining while i was asleep.
This has been happening before android N as well, on marshmellow. at one point i even had to roll back an OTA update because my battery would drain while the tablet was idle over the course of only 4 hours.
So.. after i rolled back to the more stable version of marshmellow, that stopped happening.
but yea. now i have a similar problem on android N. i just dont understand why this is happening and its super frustrating. before i installed android N i wiped my entire tablet completely clean before i flashed it.
i knowww, its kind of a first world problem. it doesnt happen all the time but when it does its super annoying.
does anyone know what i can do to prevent this from happening? i have set it to disable wifi when screen is off so.. its not downloading or updating apps or anything.. and disabled double tap to wake.. the tablet is basically just lying still on a table all night so dont understand how it can be draining the battery at all.
thanks
sorry, since im new here i cant actually post an image yet or a link to the image.. but basically, android system and android OS is taking up huge chunks of the battery and if i look at graph i can see that my tablet was
"awake" for multiple hours even though the screen was off while i was asleep.
you could try better battery stats, there's a thread here at xda for it, see what's going on with it. I haven't noticed so far but it's only been a day. You may wanna just let it go for a few days and let the system settle, let your cache build, etc....and if you're rooted there's kernels available the you could try out and make some adjustments depending on how you use your tab. Good luck :good:

Thanks for the reply. im gonna consider if betterbatterystats if it doesnt stop draining within a day or two. i need my tablet to function properly by monday.
Last night the exact same thing happened. although this was was even worse i think. theres a tiny little snippet of "screen on" time in the battery data menu. and then it shows the long bar of " awake" throughout the entire night. and apparently this is because of android system and android OS.
it literally drained from 91 % to 36 % over the course of the night... completely unbelievable.
Try disabling all account synching, turning all location settings off, and restarting in Safe Mode. This will limit your device to just the OS and gapps. If you're still getting the battery drain, it's most likely a gapps issue. Unfortunately, I don't know an effective way to remove and replace the built-in gapps in the stock rom.

I've been running marshmallow since day 1 and 7.0 developer preview since day 1 as well. I am typically getting ~4 & 1/2 hours of screen on time with ~30% battery left (not rooted, nothing). If the Google apps aren't the problem, the problem may be with the battery itself where it itself is faulty and needs replacing. A good thing with replacing the battery is that it's fairly easy to do unless you accidentally ripped out the camera with it. If you were to rip out the camera by removing the back cover, then that would definitely be a problem. Memory leak in any of your non-Google apps?
Hey everyone. i think i might have found the reason why my battery is draining sometimes. lately it's been doing fine as it's rather easy to fix.
My theory is that if you put yiur tablet with the screen facing down on a table or something, it may trigger the touch input, even with the screen being off. So it's using some battery cus it thinks you're touching the screen so it has to be ready since.. if someone is touching the screen they would usually turn the device on.. but idk.
it just seems as though the battery drains whenever i put it with screen facing down.

Hey, there is a possibility that there is a 3rd party (non pre-installed) app that has been causing your N9 not to sleep. This is easy to test for. Just boot your Nexus 9 into safe mode the next time you are going to set it down for a while. This will disable all 3rd party apps. If it was a 3rd party app that was waking your device and draining battery, safe mode should prevent it from doing so. The hard part after that is determining which app is the culprit. Trial and error is the only method, uninstalling 3rd party apps one by one until the problem is fixed.
To boot into safe mode, hit your power button, then touch and hold the power off prompt on your screen. You will then be prompted to restart in safe mode.

FYI - Custom ROMs/Kernels allow you to disable Double Tap To Wake /Swip To Wake. So, if this problem really bothers you, that's one way to fix it.

Weird issue (Stock P8000)

Alright, been helping out a friend with his P80000, some background incase that helps to figure this one out, the phone had a battery drain problem where it could say it was at 70% then drain rapidly, seemed to work with trying to use the battery calibration apps so far so yet (He mentioned it happened often so it seemed like it got improved) then the phone didn't keep itself properly connected to the WifI (disconnected multiple times) seemed to solve it by just setting the phone to a static IP.
Now a new problem has been born that ive never personally experienced nor heard. He was charging the phone the whole day, but it stayed at 37%. So he restarted the phone which lead to him not being able to press any of the apps that he had. He uninstalled and reinstalled the apps but when he tried to use the reinstalled apps it just directed him back to play store. He restarted it again and it didnt work, restarted another time and this time it worked, so far.
Any of ya boys have gone through anything similar to this? I mean it seems clear that the battery probably is whacked and the software is not feeling that good anymore, but I'm curious what the cause of this is, is it just a rare software problem or have I been outside too much.

Amazfit battery drain issues

My Amazfit lost battery within half a day and i tried so much to fix this.
Started to believe in a hardware problem but after completely resetting the watch and pairing it with a new MI account and not restoring any data it runs several days without charging. I am quite sure the reason for the problem is an unfinished sync that is constantly repeated. Also seems that flight mode doesn't deactivate BT completely as it had no effect on the battery drain. When the connected phone was completely turned off, the battery seemed to last.
I am a bit confused.
What are your experiences with that problem?
I have the same problem and reset the watch to no avail. But, I didn't try to skip the restoration part. I'll try that and see if I get similar results. Anyone else having this issue?
I have the exact same issue. I already tried everything but nothing worked. When I compare the data from my Amazfit watch app with the Mifit app I can see that some days are not properly synced. So I guess you are right, it must be a syncing issue. I didn't try to make a new mi account after unpairing, but I guess I have no choice. This really sucks.
I also tried wiping it (resetting to factory) as well as new xi account. Didn't work. Then I tried uninstalling the app from my phone and turning the watch to airplane mode. No luck. I'm now not convinced it's a syncing issue.
After installing PACEFIED release 24 the battery drain is back. I am totally fed up with the watch.
Let's write down the facts to find a reason:
-I have a Chinese Version of the watch
-latest PACEfied installed
-Installed older chinese App, connected watch and then updated via Playstore to latest english App (Strava sync works)
-no wifi password entered for watch
-no music on watch, no headsets connected
-no additional apps or watchfaces installed
-no Mi-Fit App installed
-Phone is a Huawei P9lite on Android 7.0 EMUI 5
The sync with my phone works only once then i have to restart the watch, Notifications do not work constantly.
Then you seem to have a bluetooth problem.
It might be your watch, it might be the phone.
And when BT runs wild on the watch, it eats through the battery.
Can you check with a different phone?

Doesn't work for me... It seems like you have a different issue, but thanks for the sharing. Today I also tried to unpair the watch and pairing it with a different Mi account but also that didn't work. Resetting the bluetooth settings in my phone didn't make a difference either. I have honestly no clue what the problem is.
i have the same kinde of issue, for two weeks it was great, now i have to charge it every day, try everything. . new account, wipe cashe, factory reset, still the same problem
i think it is a software problems with, first of all huawei phones and some particular watchfaces. In fact i didn't use my amazfit for 8 days and the battery drain was normal. When i reconnected it the battery started draining... maybe the kirin processors aren't completely compatible with tha amazfit... another thing i noticed is that some third party watchfaces cause draining problems.
Im using us rom 1.3.3a.. xiaomi mi5s..
I started having battery drain issue after playing at beach.. but i didn't swim more than 1m.. dont know whether its related or not..
Done factory reset twice..changed facewatch.. still draining.. on airplane mode, so no notification.. Backlight auto, no continuous HR.. only last a day average..
Anyone can help? Really hope for new official rom update will fix this issue..
I have the same problem. Could this be a real battery failure?

As per Huami moderators, swimming is strict no no...
Hey guys.
I'm also having a battery drain problem. I didn't go swimming or did anything out of the usual. The watch works fine but the battery lasts close to a day, when a couple of weeks ago it would last at least three days.
I have continuous HR measures, do exercise with music every two days, but even in airplane mode there seems to be a drain.
I've un-paired and re-paired the watch back with the phone and the drain is still present.
I have no extra apps sideloaded, root or custom ROM. I have the latest international version of the app 1.7.1 and latest firmware 1.0.9.6.
Anyone found any fix for this? Does a any recent development version say anything in the change log related to battery drains being fixed?
Regards.

I have a P9 Lite Huawei, and i have probleme with a lot of deconnection and drain battery .... somebody have a solution for me ?
Mine has started to drain from 100% to 0% in a couple of hours.
Must admit I might of got it wet as I wore it to the beach, got in touch with Huawei and this what they said, and my watch failed .
Hello Vince,
Thank you for contacting Amazfit.
We are very sorry that you have trouble with the device.
Have you ever submerged the device into water? For example, did you wear it when you were swimming or taking a bath/shower?
To troubleshoot your issue, please do a small test for us.
1) Fully charge your watch to 100%
2) Turn on the flight mode on the watch
3) Turn off the Bluetooth on your phone.
4) Make it untouched for 24 hours
5) Check the power consumption
If the power consumption is less than 15%, it's normal.
If the power consumption is greater than 15%, it can't be repaired, please contact the seller to find a solution.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Cheers and have an excellent day!
Sincerely,
Molly| Amazfit Support

Very disappointing!
After performing the test she requested and realizing that the watch dies on me after 8 hours I got the following message from her:

Same Issues
I'm having the same issues. Worked great for over a month. I was getting 4 to 5 days of charge easily.
Then last week It suddenly started to drain fast on me. Now i am barely getting 4 to 5 hours.
Did not get the watch wet.
I tried to run it in Airplane mode overnight. I woke up after about 3 hours and it was dead. Tonight i will try airplane mode and shut the bluetooth off on My Galaxy S7 as well.
A1612 firmware 1.3.3a
ps: Come to think of it my Galaxy S7 just had a software upgrade early last week. The problem started just after that upgrade I think.
i have charge the device at 100%, then turn it off for almost 2 days, now it seem like power is holding on, i hope it will last

Question Wifi and battery issues since Update

I updated my S23U to the latest version (I guess S918BXXU1AWC8) and ever since the update, WiFi is extremely slow and the battery drains more than before.
I was able to get 2 days before the update, now, even after barely touching the phone I need to recharge it every day...
Anyone else with these issues ?
It seems like a software issue, like app issue
I get better standby time after April update, like the graph is flat when i don't use the phone, sot little better because of that.
No problem here, maybe would be a software bug.
If persists, try to wipe all.

Check google play services, that's usually the culprit. Check the last 2 pages under the official battery thread and follow those steps. If not, then power off your device. power on holding the power button and volume up, go down to clear cache partian and clear it. Then go down to repair apps and click it and see if that helps.
Wipe cache from recovery, might help. I had drain after updating, but after restarting phone and clearing cache, it went back to normal.
