Standby drain - Xiaomi Mi 9 Real Life Review

standby about:
1-1,5 % per hour without ambient display
2,5-3% per hour with ambient display
standby drain is quite bad, LG V30 has half consumption in standby

MIUI 10
High battery drain in backgound too.
I usually lose 10% in 8 hours during night.

Standby drain is high; significantly higher than my other phones. On average, my phone drains about 1.8% per hour with AOD turned off. My Pixel 3 XL drains 0.5 to 0.8% per hour with similar settings and the same SIM card.

If you are running Global rom it could because it's trying to connect to multiple networks. Maybe both European and chineese network.

Download EX Manager and put it on Powersaver Mode. 9h and I just lose 10% of battery while watching BBT 5 episode and played 1 album to get me asleep. Lol

Hi there. 8 hours of sleeping time drained 1%.
I'm using Xiaomi.eu version.
With Global EEA it drained about 4% in 8 hours also

It drains about 1% while asleep 8hrs on airplane mode.

for me it drained up to 2% per hour.
I could reduce it to 0.5% per hour just by turning off bluetooth, maybe that helps you as well

In Global dev ROM my mi 9 was not entering sleep mode at all, it was consumed at least 2% per hour.
I'm now on Xiaomi.eu and it sleeping great.

Global Dev (stock kernel) gives me less than 0.5 % / h battery drain at night. Network and WiFi always running, no airplane mode. Just Bluetooth usually is switched off since I only need it in the car. No snake-oil apps for 'better battery live' or similar battery voodoo.

For me mit official stable it is a little more than 1% per hour during night, mobile-stand-by as well as android system are draining the most battery.
Waiting for Unlock in 5 days.

Xiaomi.eu doesn't really improve battery life for me. Androidsystem drains about 20% and I have no idea why. I lose about 10 percent at night (sleeping around 6h), so that's pretty much considering the other reports... also I only get like 3-3,5h SOT, because of the drainage. Can't figure out why, though.

Hey there have Battery Drain too. i have the Transparent Edition with Global Rom for me to use in EU with German Language. It is unlocked and has the Mi Recovery. Can i only flash with Mi Tool the Xiaomi.eu rom or will i have to flash custom Recovery?!

I'm on latest ROS, last night ~8 hours standby + airplane mode = 1%

Global stable official, i get 1% drain on 6-7 Hours, signal on so i can be called, wi fi off

MIUI 10.2.9.0, everything is on (wi-fi etc.). Mifit is permanently connected to my BIP, kate mobile is connected to VK. 4% for 8 hours this night.

yeah. the standby drain is not good at all
lost 3% in 5 hours ,with powersaving mode on(scheduled in settings to turn on between 23:00-07:00)
wifi off, bt off, mobile data off...
only WCDMA/LTE enabled
latest global rom

Its because the phone is set to scan for chinese network by default (TD-SCDMA), even though Its a global version.

Really? How to fix that?
Any ideas?
That's NOT true. Switching to LTE/WCDMA give the same battery drain.
That's only the preferred network.

[Q] Super Fast Crazy Battery Drain on Cyanogenemod 11 Nightly Solution Needed

I just installed CM 11 on my xperia V but then I'm experiencing this terrible super fast battery drain. It's been 3 days. The first night I installed it it drained my whole battery while I was asleep. Usually standby time is great before I installed CM 11. Maybe its because of the sony stamina extended standby mode thingy. Last night, I reckon that it's probably because of the background process and the wifi, so I reboot the phone (so that all apps are killed) and didn't turn on the wifi. It eats 7% of my battery. Dafuq???
So, I checked the battery stats and 82% of my battery is used on android system. Then, I turned off location access. Brightness is at its lowest. It was on aeroplane mode. Bluetooth is off. I underclock the device to clock only at 1 ghz and i clear all recent apps. Only the wifi is turned on. I only left it for half an hour without even touching it but my battery went down from 100% to 93%.!!! Can you imagine?? This sucks. Can anyone please help me with this issue? Imagine after an hour my battery would be at 80%. That means i can only use the phone for 5 hours!! That is without any connectivity at all with slow processor and low brightness. If I were to push it to the max it would take maybe 2 hours of usage. I uploaded the battery stats included with this thread.

That's not normal. Normal should be around 2% lost.
Since I'm on Pie (beta and stable), the drain, with or without, Wifi On and Mobile On, it's been very high!!!

well, I have to correct my statement. If I turn off wifi and mobile data, standby drain is stellar!!! During the night, I can get no more than 3%
Can't say the high drain that I have if using the phone... something that got a lot worse after a year (when I got the phone)
When my pixel xl is in standby for 3 hours, my battery drains arround 15 -17%, and my phone always shows Charging Connected Device via USB notification like it is charging another device, even when isnt connected to charger.
I'm getting between 1.5% and 2% per hour drain while idle at night doing nothing, since Pie. OS doesn't report any errant apps. Greenify isn't griping.
It almost uses no battery in standby! It's like magic. In one night it may lose 1% if you leave it on.
although i get about 2 and a half hour screen on time, i get virtually no standby drain whatsoever (latest stock pie). went to bed last night at 39%, *10 hour sleep*, woke up at 38%. what i dont seem to get very often is notfications while i am sleeping until i use my phone again in the morning, something to do with adaptive battery or doze?
are you guys leaving the phone connected to a Wifi?
do you guys disable LTE/Data connection while on wifi on Dev Options?

i always have WiFi and LTE enabled. Unless i want to use LTE instead of WiFi, then WiFi gets disabled.
I have a massive drain and phone gets hot lately even on stanby, i don't know what happened, didn't add any new app, still on pie.

10% drop in 8 hours in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgtpvkGRr4k
Can anyone confirm? Does standby suck?
Sleeps well. I'm 21 hours and at 65% off charger. 2.7 hours screen on time.
Deep sleep cpu speed is 76%
Make sure you don't have things eating your battery with screen off
My standby has been great. Usually 5-8 percent drop in a 5-7 hour window. Way better than my V30; that thing would eat up 15-20% every night.
Mine has been at 3% drop per 7 hours I'm asleep. I don't know if it has anything to do with DND being on but I was also getting the same drop with my P2XL.
I have been noticing this everyday for the past week. And almost every single time I see about 4-5% drain in about 8-9 hours which is pretty good.
This is on WiFi. So if you're on mobile data there might be a slightly higher drain.
Current status: In deep sleep for 86% of screen off time.
I've also noticed 4-5% drain in about 8-9 hours on WiFi and DND. I'm happy.
Only lost 3% overnight, including picking the phone up and using it a few times.
Not on wifi mine went from ~40% to 3% also my alarm didn't go off. Alarm was set at 545 woke up at 630 and when I picked up my phone to check the time that's when the alarm decided to go off. Nice feature ignoring alarms to save battery.
Is it good enough?
My battery stats are messed up. Battery % goes up even when I'm not charging.

How long have you been using your phone and what's the lowest battery percentage you've hit?
Sometimes it helps to let the software recalibrate the battery by charging the phone to 100 and going all the way down to 0 and then charging back to 100.
I generally lose about 1% every 2 hours overnight. About 1% every hour in the day (When wake my phone up every now and then)

Is it one plus 6t bro?......actually last night my screen on time is 8 hr 17min or smthing.......bt not this much like urs .......what features u disabled to save the battery?
Light use on this thing is crazy. And by light use I mean still using it for over 2 hours a day I can still eek out 2 days without charging.
I'm really unhappy with my battery drain. I see about 2% per hour when I set the phone down and sleep.
I have a Gear S3 paired, two sim cards, and email notifications for about 8 email accounts. But other phones I've had would drain 1% or less per hour under the same conditions.

That's a lot of drain right there. What other phones drained less with 8 accounts syncing and a paired watch?
Mine also has worsen with the new update, and the fingerprint sensor also got slower than the previous build.

I dont see any standby drain. When I keep data on (locaion,wifi and bluetooth off) in the night it drained only 2-3 % battery. with data off/location/wifi/bluetooth off it was 100% in the morning.
But I have a different issue, When I am using the phone, I see a drain now which was not there initially. Android system is draining most of the power. I usually used to get 9+ hrs SOT with 2 days usage. but now Both have dropped below to 1&1/2 day and around 8 hours SOT.. Tried all the things found on net, but it didnt helped.
Same things happens with after update. Before the update it works for 2 days but now a it runs for 1 & half day max.

I did the update too, so you think it caused by update? Is samsung deliberately doing it as everyone suspects of them doing that they slow down the devices or its just a bug they didn't realize?
Maybe it's a bug.
All tests are under airplane mode, no cell signal.
WIFI ON with "battery saver" OFF takes 0.5% per hour drain.
WIFI OFF with "battery saver" ON takes <0.1% per hour drain.
BUT !!!
WIFI ON and "battery saver" ON at the same time, the standby drain will up to 1.3~2% per hour.
I have test this for more than 10 times, trying to avoid any other cause.
Finally I'm sure that "battery saver" mode will cost more standby drain if WIFI is ON. ( yeah, that sounds ridiculous
But I don't know why.

Maybe one of your apps ?
Today night 8 hours : airplane mode, communication OFF drain=0% ( jawdrop).
Never expected anything like that.

You can find it in quick panel or an app called "Smart maneger".
If you didn't turn it on , it's off defaultly .
Maybe your problem has nothing to do with this.
Did you guys find any solution. Found today the android system used 11% draining the battery

:laugh::laugh::laugh: What you expected ? Let me explain that smartphone is a little computer with operating system - which is essential to it's existence and work.
If you do not want Android to consume energy then you should power off the phone :laugh:
11% is pretty normal
Losing battery when phone is idle, overnight drains about 15-18%%

The battery performs well when in use (discharges at the rate of 10% per hour Heavy Gaming 'CoD: mobile', which is quite good I guess) but when the phone is idle, the battery drains quite fast about 2% per hour and the battery discharges about 10-15% over the night.
Losing 10-15% battery is not normal for a phone at all, also 10% of a 6000mAh battery is quite huge.
This problem persists. Any help is welcome!
EDIT :
I have uploaded the battery usage stats screenshots on google drive, check the link. I turn off WiFi and clear recent apps before going to bed but still, the battery drains heavily 15% over 6-7 hours.
CAN'T share the link because xda won't allow posting URLs here as I'm new to XDA forum
Update on my battery drain, found the SD card malfunctioned and removal of the SD card fixed the issue.

How did you figure out the root cause? I am also facing battery drain by Android system after the recent security update.

Huawei P30 fast battery drain

Hello,
I've purchased a huawei p30 few days ago, and I noticed that the battery drains pretty fast comparing to a thread I've read here about Huawei P30 Pro battery drain (link).
It takes 1% of battery for about 4-6 minutes of use.
In addition, it consumes 10% overnight (10 hours), with only cellular and data connection, no wifi, no gps, no nfc.
Tested it with flight mode, and it takes 7% overnight (10 hours), which I think is way too much (should be like 1% right?).
I have version 9.1.0.193 (europe version), with the ability to upgrade to 240.
What can possibly cause that? I only have it for few days, with 3 apps installed: Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram.
I wondered, how is your battery consume? that would be nice if you can share your stats.
thanks
Edit:
Tested the phone in safe mode, 10% over 10 hours standby, I got a defect for sure =\
Go to Settings > Battery > Battery usage and you can see for yourself.

Thanks for your response.
I did viewed the battery usage, however there is nothing that consuming too much battery, looks normal.
The drain got better overtime, now I get 3% overnight (10 hours) on flight mode without AOD and 5% with cellular, which is ok.
However, on standby time over the daylight, the battery drains 1% every 30 minutes, I think that is very bad. not sure why the standby time is so bad.
I get SOT of 6~ minutes every 1% (which is great for me).
So I'm not sure what could be causing that. I've watched a video by linus on youtube about galaxy s9+ on battery drain, and it seems that the mobo have a leak, which made it drain.
Is it possible that huawei also suffer from mobo leaks?
