Hi all.
I have written a comment to another created threat, but I would like to read your comments here too.
I'm having battery draining and SOT problems with my mi 9, like I said in title (like most people I think).
I have tried everything to improve my battery life in my mi 9, and It's not bad at all, but I was expecting better performance for a top xiaomi smartphone with sd 855 and 5 months old in spite of the fact that it has "only" 3300mah battery ...
I'm not a heavy user and I try to get max SOT and minimum battery drain in all my phones, because I don't like changing smartphones very often and I like to take care of it.
I came from a Moto G4 plus, and I had 5h of SOT in 48h without high standby drainage (maybe 1-2% of drainage overnight in 7-9h) with a 3 years old battery and worst hardware and software. In mi 9, I'm getting 5-6h of SOT in 48-72h. Not bad at all, but standby drainage is awfull. It loses 20-25% of the battery every 48h (3-5% overnight), and in a smartphone with such a fair battery it's a problem. If I'm not getting great results with not heavy use and my smartphone is new, I don't want to think in 2-3 years + mid-heavy use ... I have tried everything (full wipes, reinstalling, the most powerfull battery saving, etc) and I don't have great result. Standby drainage is very hight compared to other phones (I have tried a friend poco f1 and I had 10h in 48-72h with 1% overnight drainage. It was awsome).
And now the question ...
I'm thinking of changing my mi 9 for a huawei mate 20... I still have the 30d Amazon refund and I am not comfortable with my phone's battery.
- Mate 20 pros vs mi 9: +700 mah battery and more efficient, the best ips panel without burn-in problem, and fingerprint sensor behind the screen (no like too much in-screen fingerprint at all).
- Pros mi 9 vs mate 20: sd 855 (but geekbech it's very very similar, and antutu winner is mi 9 only for gamming but mate 20 still on top), unlocking bootloader for mi 9 (better comunity in xda, but if emui works well I think I don't need custom rooms, the problem here is Trump/google vs China ... but now apeares to be solved and we would have newer updates to Android Q), wireless charging (I don't use it because smartphone is hotter when charging 3-5º vs cable+1,5a charger, It takes more time to charge with elevated temperature), not jack (better for waterproof), maybe very little better cameras in mi 9 and little better results, 4 months younger (very little difference) and It's the top phone on xiaomi (mate 20 is the little brother because we have mate 20 pro, 20x, p30, p30 pro and we will have soon mate 20 and mate 20 pro; and that could be worst because we will get latter uptdates in mate 20).
What do you think? Would you change mi 9 for mate 20? Reading your comments. Greetings.
I'm sorry but you're asking about changing a phone on a forum which is meant for custom roms. And Mate 20 bootloader cannot be unlocked. So, i would never change to Huawei or Honor because of that.
Maybe battery life will be better with Android Q update?

I know. But there is a forum for mate 20 in xda too. I want to know your opinion too
Battery in mi 9 (standby drainage) is really bad -.- and mate 20 does not seems bad at all. Maybe between sd 845 and 855 no?
We will see if the drainage is corrected in android Q or not ...
What about xiaomi.eu? same drainage that official?
Thanks for your answer.

That's not 20% in 4h. That's 39% usage in 4h. Look at the screen on section and not his current battery percentage.
Come on, how can you even be here on XDA entertaining the idea of having a Huawei? Seriously, you won't be able to unlock that bootloader ever, and that's a HUGE problem.

I know, but I think that if EMUI works well, I think that I will not need to unlock and flash other ROMS. I think that it doesn't exist the perfect smartphone. Thanks for answering

I have just read it. I found 2 new tips I didn' know. Thank you. I'll try.
I could add some new tips I have found this days:
- Deactivate in developer options, the last two options (something like MIUI optimizations and alert)
- If you install Quickshorcut and search "installed apps" you can find a new option unaccesible in MIUI and you can disable some extra apps.
- Disable google assistant: in config/aditional options/quick access to buttons
- Disable voice match google in google app/settings/voice/voice match (disable voice match and unlock with voice match)
- If you hold any app in your android desktop you can restrict background app selecting the "i" for info/battery/backgroud restrict (you need to do that in every app)
- Uninstall facemoji keyboard: open it an use it some 2-5 min, and when it apeares in battery usage, you can uninstall it.
- More battery optimizations for apps in: config/aditional settings/privacy/special access to apps/battery optimization.
Have a nice day

Battery life is an extremely wide topic. For example, I use greenify with exposed support, I uninstall unnecessary system apps, I control devices wakelocks regularly etc etc.. As I said so many things to do.

Your battery life is actually GOOD.. You don't need to worry about it unless the SoT decreases over time..

I agree, i heard that greenify can be effectively used once your device is rooted. So i see that u have rooted your device and hence you can able to uninstall system apps. I am in warranty period and i don't want to void my warranty . So any other solution would help ??
Hello,
Yo begin i'm not english sorry for my so many mistake .
There are 4 days, I had my new phone , a 5x honor , replacing my Lumia 1320 .
And since these 4 days I noticed that the battery will discharge extremely fast. I already did a factory reset but its same.
On the picture, you can see, just 7 hours with a normal use(5min after I lost 2% more), my phone has been out.
http ://puu.sh/psKhh/64c1866b33.png (delete the space, i dont know other way to add à picture )
So I want ask you if, with your Honor 5x it's same or if it's the mine that have a problem.
Thanks

Hello Asséo, sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your 5X, one thing I would recommend is to go to the Phone Manager App provided on your 5X. You can click on the Phone accelerator to first make sure your phone is operating at the optimal functionality. I would then go to the Storage Cleaner to ensure you do not have any unnecessary data which could be contributing to your slow down. As well, I would go into the Power Saving section once you've optimized your phone to see which power plan would work best for your needs. Hopefully these steps help you maximize your battery.
I would also recommend looking at the power details to see if your phone is always awake.
In my case, for one wifi network, the phone will always be awake when it is connected to wifi, causing the battery to be drained. After turning off wifi and turning on mobile data, I can get about 2.5 days of use.
I start of principe that i have a Smartphone, i don't have Nokia 3310. If my network is disable, i can't use whatapp for exemple then I use WhatsApp everytime. I have just Whatapp on background otherwise i don't have notification.
On Power Saving section, i am on Smart mode, i don't use the Ultra mode because i can't do this.
For exemple this morning I stay 10minutes on Word I lost 2%, I stay 15minutes on Facebook I lost 6%. When I listen music i lost 10% hourly.
The screen eat the battery extremely fast., i see the History information for the battery. On 4h30, i lost 70% of battery i listened music on YouTube, so Wifi+music+screen activate
That is normal ?
Sorry but i switch to a Lumia to a Honor, so W10M to Android. With my Lumia, i would stay 2 days with wifi and data enable, with Facebook/whatapp etc... so for me, a battery like this it's not normal even if it's normal for android user
Thanks you for your answers

Hello Asséo,
We're terribly sorry to hear that you're displeased with your battery life in your Honor 5X. We like to remind you that battery life may vary depending on use. If you're a average to heavy user, it's not uncommon for the 5X to last 7 hours. What we recommend to save some battery life is shutting off your GPS and WiFi when it's not in use as that will impact it heavily. (ED)

What he said, also you can unlock bootloader and install custom rom, then you will have root access and you will be able to underclock cpu too. when it is not running at full speed, that will also reduce battery drain.
Root it and do some CPU tweak i Did it aswell. Because it keeps at 800mhz when screen is off and listening music. I can get about 9-13 hours max im an average user.. Also i recommend to buy a 5v 2-3a charger. Keep in mind that this is a Great battery life for an Android device. Lumia is totally different
I suggest you try cm13, two days ago I got 5 hours and 43 mins screen time and i had 24 percent left (best one yet), I normally end with 6 hours of screen time at 5% at the end of the night/early into the morning.
If you have rooted your device set this in the build. Prop debug.cpurend.vsync=fase to True. It saves alot of battery but you wont notice Performance lose
^ +1 on that, biggest issue with huawei is poor software (simple sloppy mistakes) & incredibly slow & poor updates.
Camera needs a huge update as the focusing/image sharpness is well off, hopefully software rather hardware ! plenty other areas need optimising, copying apple not always a good thing lol, sometimes you really need do the work to make a better interface & some small changes & more options for ui would attract more users .
It needs polishing & needs doing quickly as customers dissatisfied now unlikely return even if things become perfect .
What do you think about the P10 battery life ?
I'm not happy at all ! With my P9, I loose 2 % during the night (8 hours). With my P10, I loose 10 % (same settings, same apps,...). I have difficulties to finish my day with a charge... My max is 4 hours of SOT. There is a huge difference between the P9 and the P10...
My last hope is a good update quickly ! I'm looking at the S8 now...
What do you think guys ?
I have exactly the same battery life on P10, as i had on P9... But EMUI 5.1 is not killing background apps, as it was on 5.0 - so maybe something drains your battery?
I read that some updates are probe to be pushed to P10 owners... that will solve the curent problems.

For me it's the same. Phone is still completely useless when wifi is on.
Android OS is killing my battery... Very high drain!!!
After updating to B130 from B100, my battery got much better. Still having 20% at the end of the day (11:00 PM) with the same usage pattern (on B100, I had to plug it into the charger/power bank) as was 20% on my way home (5:00PM).
How many hours of screen do you get daily?
I guess Huawei missed something in their otherwise very good battery management system on this phone.
To those having issues with draining, you should remove facebook and facebook messenger.
They have managed to give the background processes that slip through battery management systems.
Even when one check in battery monitors like gsam, one see only Android system as the culprit whereas facebook is the one causing the wakelocks.

Yes I am also facing the same battery issue...
I think the battery life time of p10 is more better than p9. When i'am using p9 its OS kill my battery timing . Mostly after updating the mobile its life time is decreasing.
Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8 Pro's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not very impressive. When I'm playing games like Pokemon Go, the use isn't any different from other phones. While the phone have 4k battery, the advantage isn't that clear cut.
I have a different view, when I've been playing say Hearthstone for 3 hours, I don't see any heavy drain of the battery, the drain is similar to normal web browsing.
Our differences could easily be tributed to signal strength.
For me the heavy usage endurance was not that good! Even with normal usage that includes mail, WhatsApp, some browsing, and calls for like 2 hours, I could only get 6 hours of usage! Thereafter I had to charge! And this was quite continuous usage.

With a 5.7 inch 2k screen, that's quite good. I feel so.

Good Endurance for me
I have been testing it with multiple games, running benchmarks , watching videos and making calls etc.. The drain is very minimal compared to other phones I used. The battery lasts more than a day under normal usage. My normal usage includes watching youtube videos, few hours of gaming and whatsapp/facebook . So I think for a phone with big 2k display, its doing a wonderful job!

i guess i need to clarify my post/ feedback. for me... it's nothing special impressive. not to say it's bad, but just that it's performing like it should with other phones. it's not draining battery but i'm also not seeing extra endurance on this phone even though it packs a 4K battery.
i guess it's partly to do with the 2K screen.
and yes, if i'm not going on sth resource intensive like PoGo, the phone can actually last me the day.

Below average ,even my old RN3's battery out wins it ,same game ,similar handling ,of course there is an QHD resolution factor ,but Honor 8 pro's battery ,one word ,inferior

The 2k screen has its effect on battery. It's not inferior per se but it's also not brilliant. It's so so.

9 hours + Sot is simply amazing
Unbelievable
I'm using Zenfone max pro m1 I do usally have god & mobile data on all time for me it is just 5 hours to 6hours !
And to be frank I fell this is similar or less to my previous Redmi note 4 !!
Was expecting more I think all due to miui optimisation
im getting insane 12 Hours SOT....maybe bcz im using only a single 4g sim and wifi most of the time but this is still great battery backup
I got this one.
Good enough for me.
Great battery life with 45mins of gaming, lots of YouTube,browsing, chatting, camera,etc with 4G connection full time 4G connection.
Getting great screen-on time with Asus Pro M1, best I have seen in my experience of use on any Android Device. Getting SOT of over 12 hours plus with 33 percent battery still left in the tank. My usage has been 90 percent of the time on WiFi and 10 Percent on 4g , with continues browsing , updating of all the old apps, few pics, streaming 15mins of youtube and checking msgs on WhatsApp with display brightness set to 20 percent, Rest all of the apps in the background are disabled to use any data or notifications turned off and battery saver n data saver both enabled . This device is absolutely beast in terms of battery life, fantastic for any kind of user, I am expecting to hit close to 14:30 hrs to 15 hrs SOT with such usage.
Using this phone today for heavy gaming such as arena of valor, crossfire legends, and pubg. And also streaming music from soundcloud on my trip, it takes 4 hours streaming. On 4g mostly. So yeah, it's my heaviest usage I guess.
Looking good though.

Looking good you say ? My Mi Max 2 could do 12-15hours of SoT. Looks like Pro M1 doesn't optimised well even tho its 5000mah but last just like the Redmi Note 4 with 4000mah..Too bad asus..too bad. Hoping for MiUI rom for it

No, it's my heavy usage test. That usage test based mostly on gaming and music streaming for long time. I'm not testing the normal usage yet.
And I've used Nokia Lumia 640 XL. Trust me. The battery performance is on par with this phone when I used it also for gaming. And for normal usage, the battery backup is enough for 2 days (which is I haven't tested on my asus yet). Better than redmi note 3 imo.

So that 7hrs of SoT was a heavy usage ? Sounds like a disappointment to me. My Mi Max 2's minimum SoT always get 12hrs SoT without fail with heavy usage..15hrs if using 100% wifi
Sot not heavy usage though

Yes, it's 8 Hours actually.
And about battery, I admit that Mi Max 2 has a best battery performance in the world right now (based on GSMarena). So I understand your disappointment.
And it's my normal usage.
Confirmed, the battery performance of this phone are little bit better than Lumia 640 XL
Good battery life on this thing!
But could be more optimized ?
Almost matching up with my Lenovo P2's Beast Battery (The record was 19 Hours SOT)!!
My device gives 9hrs to 12 hrs of sot. Always on 4g , 2 hrs of gaming (tekken) , rest wtsapp , youtube web browsing etc.
On 4G .. 7 hrs. YouTube .. 1.75 hrs. WhatsApp .. 2 hrs. VLC movie .. 30 min. Calls
Amazing Battery

Hi everyone
Never used a phone with around 15hr SOT
Amazing.
My essential phone is nothing in front of this battery beast.

Yes, it's 8 Hours actually.
And about battery, I admit that Mi Max 2 has a best battery performance in the world right now (based on GSMarena). So I understand your disappointment.

Wrong, Lenovo P2 has the best battery life in the world check the facts. And Mi Max 2 is uncomfortable for pocket, it's more a tablet than a phone.
