Battery drain faster after system launcher update - Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question

My N9S is 10 days old and usually even with heavy usage of gaming and streaming I managed to get 30%-40% battery level after 17h-20h since last charge.
Yesterday I updated system launcher RELEASE-4.17.9.1870-05091136 and I'm loving it with new UI and app drawer, but it seems draining my battery faster (20% in two hour).
top three battery usage stats
Screen 28.9%
Android System 17.6%
Plant vs Zombies 2 11.47%
Anyone have the same problem or any insights?

Then uninstall the update. The recent system launcher updates have had problems. See the link for more information:

Thanks, will do, current update 35% since last charge 9 hours ago

I don't know what Xiaomi is up to. Thought the battery drain issue was over after i did a debloat months ago but it's returned since last night despite not updating from the 11.0.1 patch! The weirdest thing is that it happens only when Wifi is on. Haven't tried with mobile data on, but you can take my word for it that Wifi on is causing it! Also experienced issues with chrome sporadically hanging and not being able to delete files through the camera app.
Has anyone experienced this recurrent quick battery drain after debloating? I'm swearing off using their phones from now on!

[Q] Android system at 44% battery use @ ICS 4.0.3 , who else?

Hi all,
Since I started using Lite'ning ROM v2.1 I noticed that my battery was draining very fast.
I went to my battery use and I saw that "Android system"was using 44% of my battery. Wake time is almost 6 hours...
Is this a known bug or is there a solution to this?

If the rom you are using is not yet a fully stable rom then it could have battery drain problems, although battery drain is usally how you use your phone. Look what apps are running when you notice your battery running down fast, as it could be one of those.
When im at work i actually only use whatsapp, and sometimes facebook while im on break. But my WiFi is off all the time then, only whatsapp and battery monitor were active. With 2.3.4 this wasn't a problem and my battery would be 60% when i came home...
Either google wakelocks and how to pin-point them, or wipe and install NO apps afterwards, run it for a day and if the same problem go to another rom till it's more stable .
What works fine in 2.3.4 has no garuntee's that it will work an experimental ICS build of any sort.
i have similar problem. my galaxy is on wanamlite 9.6, which base on LP7. after 5 hours of not intensive using, i have 65% battery left, android OS use 68% of this battery, most of time my wi-fi is off. when is on, drain battery very fast, over night even up to 20%. when i was on ginger bread it took around 6% - 8% with data and wi-fi on.

Do you have many widgets?
Especially Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widget (moreover if you activate the meteo forecast) will constantly drain your batter in search for your position. Wifi uses less juice than 3G connections.
Happened to me back at GB 2.3.4. Battery went down to 60% in 3 hours (at the office I'm on G...so even worse cuz the battery compensates for the lack of coverage). After I removed Fancy Widgets from the screen everything went back to normal.
Don't have any widgets as far as I know, only the clock and twitter...
Today battery is know at 26% after 11 hours on battery. Process stil at 39% battery use.
I searched the web and found that there are a lot of users having this problem, especially with the Google Nexus.

I don't think Your issue is software-related. I've got my Mini for over a month now, and I was dissapointed about battery life on it's first days. Now I think battery shaped its own and there's no problem with battery at all - it lasts two days with moderate data usage.

How long did it take for the problem to solve itself?
I got my phone about a week ago and I was suprised that it was able to last almost 3 days before charging.
Currently battery life is just terrible (less than 24 hours while phone is practically idle, with low brighntness, disabled gps, wifi and data connection) which is quite strange because since then I have rooted my phone and got rid of bloatware.
I have read somewhere that you shouldn't allow li-ion batteries to discharge fully, unfortunately I did that unintentionally,
Is it possible that a single full depletion managed to damage the battery? Or is it possible that I deleted some crucial app?
Phone's electronics and software will protect the battery, so no worry about discharging.
Did you install any messaging app (WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Tango, Facebook or similar)?
These are draining battery a lot.
No. I don't use those. I even greenified dropbox, pocket and some other apps,
I installed Busybox (I don't know if this is even relevant, honestly I have no idea what am I doing,
I just follow guides to achieve functionality I want )

I don't use custom ROM's, after factory reset my phone isn't even rooted. I'll check out BBS soon and post some logs, they might shed some light on the issue. Built in battery usage app shows that most of the battery (30-40%) is sucked by Android OS
Factory reset did help indeed but not for long, battery worked like a charm for 3 or 4 days but problem reappeared.
We lg mini g2 two weeks and never more battery lasted 24 hours on average use. I see that most say the battery should take 2-3 days with average use but to me you is not no day. After 2 hours of Internet browsing still remain less than 50% battery. Is it normal? What will keep you battery continuous internet browsing?

It depends on your usage and brightness settings.
Normally I keep my brightness below 40%.

5.0/5.0.1 Battery life thread

Just curious to see what the battery life is for everyone who has upgraded to lollipop either by VZW OTA or through JASMINEROM stock 5.0/5.0.1 rooted.
Battery Life is terrible for me on the lollipop 5.0, hardly comes for about 10 hours.
I think we need the next update immediately...
1.5 hours off the charger. On the phone for an hour, battery says I only have 7 hours left
maybe your issue too?
so im new to the note 3, my boss gave me one which is a huge upgrade over my old razr hd (i do miss unlocked bootloader though). anyways i noticed the phone sucked the battery dead pretty quickly but assumed it was bc of the big screen. one thing annoyed me, it constantly said searching using gps in the notification panel. after doing some searching i found that if i turned off the weather widget on the lockscreen (setting->lockscreen->additional information-> uncheck weather) that it stopped searching for gps all the time, giving me annoying notifications about it every 3 secs and my battery life was greatly improved. hope this helps someone

Don't forget to use the app greenify. It can really help with battery life.
I personally did a factory restore after the update. I have had over three hours screen on time with little mods like disabling apps/bloat and also disabling things like quick glance and such. I am even using bluetooth with my pebble watch. coming from an LG G2 with a 3000mah battery and smaller screen this is awesome. The lollipop update was terrible on the G2

I went from being 8 hours off charge to completely dead regardless of use pre-LP to ~20 hours with typical use post-LP. Stock battery and no changes made.
I think i had 12 hours with 8 hours screen on time the other day
About the same, 2 days of use with ~8 hours screen time.
No problems here
I *was* initially having problems since I kept leaving certain settings on unnecessarily. I like to crank up the brightness when I'm near a charger at home or in the car so that I can easily see the screen and basically ooh-and-ahh myself with a showroom look. Leaving it all the way up all day was curtains for the battery life obviously, and that's just me. People truly mindful of getting mileage out of the battery are no doubt more careful.
What has helped is that I try to be mindful of what settings I have enabled, and have gotten stellar performance after a day or two of receiving the update. I find that it's a matter of making sure WiFi is off if you're not on a network. I keep my screen brightness on "Auto," and can live with the slower performance when in power saving mode. Sucks not having root and UPSM anymore, but I can live since I rarely made it down to 20% battery life before anyway.
Your mileage may vary with the Sync setting since if it has trouble getting signal, it may get stuck in a loop and chew up battery. I don't know if there are any radio issues caused by 5.0, but I haven't noticed a difference in signal - I get as good of coverage as one can ask for in Central Ohio, and this still seems to be true so far. Anyhow, signal "hunting" has always caused the most trouble for battery life for me on several different devices.
Hope this helps...
Battery life on my mom's Note 3 is pathetic on the Lollipop update. She would go a whole day with about 40% left and now it goes from full to dead in 45 minutes. It's GPS causing the issue. She used to leave GPS on at all times on 4.4.4 back when it lasted a whole day to 40%. Now leaving it on causes the sub-1-hour battery life and with it off it still drains faster, the end of the day leaves her with a mere 20%. The 5.1 update definitely needs to be pushed ASAP.

She wants her weather updates though, it tries to update GPS info literally nonstop so it absolutely kills the battery. I'm going to downgrade her phone back to 4.4.4 for her next time I'm home.

im 90% sure its the weather widget on the lock screen pinging gps, at least it was for me. i even checked my routers log and it was pinging the weather server nonstop too. i would just deactivate it and download another weather lockscreen widget from the playstore. 5.0 is too smooth to downgrade in my opinion

Alright I'm having her try that out to see if she can leave GPS on now, however she's told me about her phone saying she has no signal randomly and that phone calls randomly drop. Sounds like the update has a poor radio firmware too. Anyone else have this problem?

Noticing poor battery life after upgrading to the Jasmine 5.0 ROM. Upgraded to Jasmine 5.02 and now I'm just deciding on when to wipe data and start from scratch.
The highest battery users were all applications, the Android OS and finally the Screen. I believe this clearly suggests that there's a battery drain bug with some of the app restores that were done after upgrading.

New G6, horrible battery life

Hey peeps!
Got my new G6 two days ago and BOY is it a beautiful phone!
One thing though that I didn't expect to have issues with; the battery life is horrible.
First day I got just under 3 hours of screen-on-time.
Charged it and left it over night. Was at 94% when I went to bed and 51% when I woke up 8 hours later.
Can't be normal? I've tried resetting the phone, but I don't think it worked.
Left home at 9:55 and the battery was at 37%. Arrived at work at 10:33 and it was down to 31% and I had barely touched it during that time.
I'm new to Android so I'm not sure what to do next?
Help! :c
There's an issue with the phone sometimes draining for no apparent reason when it's sleeping. It's happening to a lot of people. Most likely it's a bug in Android 7.0 and will be fixed in the next Android update. For now I put my phone in Airplane Mode when I go to sleep. It fixes the problem and my phone only drains 1-2% overnight.
Let it settle for a while, at least for a week. You could try with a factory reset if you want, I didn't.
Now I have at least 4h SoT under wifi. I'm currently at 42%, after 19 hours from the last charge, and 3h45m of SoT.
Please bear in mind that 4G, traveling and low reception are generally speaking the main battery killers, and there is nothing you can do about that.
For those who complain about battery life of G6, Here is a short view
9am-5pm continuous voice recording with 1 hour break in between
Around 10-15 camera clicks
Browsing use BRAVE browser, disable chrome for better life. Use BRAVE browser which is based on same chrome platform but more efficient.- 2hours
Facebook app used 40min around
Twitter sometime
WhatsApp for around 2hours
Screen brightness between 35~50%
Two sim cards, one on 4g LTE
Screen on time 6hours 10minutes
Remaining battery-20%
There is something wrong with your battery. It should last about 5h SOT. Drain after the night should be about 2% with AOD disabled.
Something is draining your battery. Begin with turning off location services if it's enabled and see if that helps. I get minimum 5 hours screen on time and closer to 6-8 for the most part even when on mobile data a lot.
I've got the same problem. I'm rooted, have all sorts of bloatware disabled, running servicely and naptime. I've shut off my bluetooth and my location and I'm on Wifi. In the last 3 hours since I've unplugged my phone from the charger I'm sitting at 66% battery with 1 hour of screen time, 1.5 hours deep sleep, and 30 minutes awake. So I'm looking to get a little over two hours of screen on time. I can't think of anything else to do.
Look into disabling QuickMemo bull****.

I think there is not a battery problem
For me, It is surely a software bug.
I use AOD for all the day, 3 email account, WiFi and 4G on, many apps in background like facebook, messenger, whatsapp, telegram and other and I get 5.5hrs with 7% battery.
But only if I use the phone more than usual. Otherwise I got 3.5 hrs with the same configuration due to a big draining issue of the "idle phone" process.
Probably we have to wait the next big update hoping that it fixes everything.
I have oneplus 3t and lg g6 and htc u11 LG's battery is the best out of the three devices
I updated the phone with LG Bridge (there was no OTA updates available) and for some reason got a completely new firmware.
Not really an update but it installed a, what seems like, a firmware meant for the Chinese market. Had the Korean on before.
This *seems* to have fixed it.

The LG Bridge update didn't actually fix it. The problem was back after a while.
Downloaded GSam and realised that the Google Quicksearch Box was stuck in wakelock or whatever it's called so I disabled the Google App in settings and that did indeed fix the whole problem. My phone has been sitting at 98% for almost 3 hours now (haven't touched it obviously).

I've fiddled around with it a bit today, but the version installed from the Play store is still not working for me. Horrible battery drain.
I found a newer (beta) version on apkmirror that I installed and that seems to have fixed it. I've got the quick searchbox enabled and no battery drain so far. It's only been a few hours though but I don't think it's gonna flare up again. It should've by now if the problem was still there.

I've had a couple of force closes from the Google app and random battery drain at times that I couldn't pinpoint. Overall I've actually loved the battery life on the phone when the phone isn't reporting an idle drain. I appreciate the beta link, hopefully that fixes the problem I've had. :good:

Battery getting less usage time after 2 weeks?

Hi guys, anyone experiencing what I am saying in the title? A decrease in battery life after 2 weeks. Ar first it was amazing, I never had a phone with such SOT and usage time in general. And starting few days ago, battery depletes faster, lasting at maximum 24 hours or such. During first cycles I got easily 30 hours and 8 SOT. I dont have any new apps or so.
Do you know any possible reason? Did it happen to any of you?
Phone has memory leaks, it should be fixed in a future update, it also have laggy animations for me when using new gestures.
Thank you, most probably you are right..
No such issues with the first one I had. It must be an app. I use on screen navigation buttons, and Lawnchair launcher but, I dif not have batter issues with it.
I got around 8-10 SOT over 36 hours/.
I got exactly the same in the beginning. I cant figure out what is changed...for sure no app seems to be the culprit according to the battery status.. But it was my first thought..
I had my first handset (#gluegate) for just over 3 weeks and noticed the battery life was gradually getting slightly worse, although even when it was brand new I was only getting 14/15 hours of above average use.
Just before it got returned I was getting around 12/13 hours for the same usage.
I'll see how the new one performs.

So I might not be crazy after all...
If you likely updated the Google app on November 19th, that new version has been reported by somebody to have apparently increased the battery drain.
However it's hard to tell if this is the actual cause.
Personally I didn't update that app (knowing the possible problem) and currently don't suffer of any reduced battery life.

For sure I did that...well...waiting for a fix.
People are saying they get 30hrs from usage of 5 hours, I get about 20hrs of maybe 5 hours usage. Can't be without phone, stressed its no cheap phone.
May be can try clearing cache, i feel the same after 9.0.0.146 update. One member here advise me to clear the cache which i did, it seem like better now.

So my replacement handset that I've now had for a few weeks can comfortably get 14/15 hours of moderate to heavy usage and still have 20-30% battery left.
Very happy with the phone overall. No piece of technology will completely please everyone but I think the M20P is outstanding in so many ways.

Yes what cache are we clearing up? Is it the Google play services?
After I installed a 3.party launcher and used adb to uninstall the hisearch and default launcher battery time has been awesome. The device can handle 48 hours without charing and heavy usage. A ton of stuff syncing and 8+ hours of sot.

Uninstalling hisearch does not do anything to warranty as it is a system app right? Or does it do anything to functionality?

No, if you factory reset it will come back. I think you can actually disable it by ADB instead of fully uninstalling it, so if you wanted it back you could just re-enable it. If you uninstall you can only get it back by a factory reset unless you are rooted apparently. Just make sure you have another launcher installed before doing either.

Had this phone for about 1 month now and yesterday I got a whopping 12 hours of SOT with smart resolution and brightness set to auto around the halfway brightness point. Wifi and network were connected at all times and made a couple calls and about 3 hours Spotify, watched a ful movie, some YouTube and many hours of social media and browsing... Im blown away by the battery life.
I've had mine for 5 week's, had 9 hours SOT with 17 hours off charge, wifi, mobile data, location rotation auto brightness set automatically, watched 1 hour YouTube quite a lot of Fakebook. Still had 20% battery left.

I have found a higher drain if I sync google photos (so i turn this off and only turn it onto sync once a month) also my works emails can eat the battery more so I turn them off unless I need the latest ones.
Other than that have found the battery life very good!
