Standby drain - Realme XT Real Life Review

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Realme XT's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

battery is kinda disappointing for me because previously i was using (Xiaomi MiMax 2) which is 5300mah vs 4000mah.
I am losing 2% per hour in standby which is strange. (i have tried every possible solution so far but nothing worked i even tried disabling google stuff)
(maybe in andriod 10 update things will improve)

Yes bro but its not meant for Pakistan yet because Pakistan's Realme update page is not showing this update.
Well first of all its risky so its up to you if u want to update or not.
(I do not take any responsibility if something goes wrong or what works for me did not worked for you).
Do not take step 0 lightly
0. Go to your cell phone's "About Phone" and confirm that its EX version and not EXEU.
Here is what i did to update to Andriod 10
1. I went to Realme India website "https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update"
2. From there i searched for "Realme XT Update" and downloaded it to my PC and then copied it to my cell phone.
3. By using file manager i opened the file (ozip file type) and it automatically restarted the phone and did update.
(I did not lose any data but i would advise you to save your data before updating)

battery life mate 9 after update

Hi to every one,
I have mate 9 (MHA-L29C185) before was in B126 and I got OTA update to B138.
before the battery life was amazing and sometimes lastest 2 days without charging but now after said update I am charging the battery every single day with the same usage as before!
could anyone please advise WHY?
No difference here after the update, or if there is it's too small to notice. I'm still getting two full days of use.
Were your battery saving settings changed by the update?
Have you added any new apps?
I had the same experience but it's been getting better. I'm still not back to 10h SOT but I can easily reach 8-9 so all's good.
I assume that after upgrading your device needs to reindex everything again and that might explain the poor battery life right after upgrading. My advice is give it a couple of days to settle down.

That doesn't look right to me. Unless you have something important running in the background your Awake time should not be much more than Screen time

Please see my battery usage details & advice
Settings > Battery > Close Apps after screen lock.
Select All.
Leave it run for a day.
I updated to the new update as soon as I took it out of the package. I was losing about 3% per hour even during deep sleep. I would go to sleep at 12 and wake up at 6 and be between 80 to 85%. My LG V20 lost a total of 1 to 2% overnight. I tried resetting the phone, playing around with settings and setting applications to close after screen lock. I then found out it was the wifi killing my battery. The next night with wifi off but data on I lost 1% overnight. Now I get about 2 full days on a charge and around 8 hours SOT.
Especially that WiFi+ sucks a lot of juice! I have it off.
Gents,
Yesterday night before I sleep, the battery was 98% I closed the mobile and went to the bed.
a morning I wake up, and the battery drain from 98% to 80% while it was STBY and no activity!
I check the consumer (see attached) and found mail was from hardware & software especially Android OS!
Please anyone can help? before I update to B138 the mobile was amazing and during the night might only drop 3-4% which is normal, not 18% now :crying::crying:
Have the same experience with 138, draining 20% over the night, my iphone 7 Plus placed side by side with the Mate 9 drains 1% over night. Have done a factory reset but still the same issue. And dont tell my to close all apps when powering down the screen - it is a smartphone and not a dumbphone. Did not buy it to kill all benefits with a smartphone and big battery
looks like some apps hogging your phone so cant go to sleep and by the looks of it wifi scanning is on which keeps the wifi module on while its off consumes more batter, also have a look at the apps with push notification or apps which run in he background. At battery management check the apps which close or not after screen lock.

Whatever they say the actualization for the B138 radically changed the battery consumption ..... up to B126 was fine.
I did not realize because in the changelog it said that it optimized the consumption of the battery, it really optimized for the worse .... huawei(Idiots) go to sleep because I should have corrected the problem, but they are sprinkling for customers, I'm going to sell mine and I do not want any more xinocas.
greetings
I dont see it getting worse. Its good for me

You're a lucky one ... from the reports I see, all malta is talking bad about this update.
Downgrade do you know how to do it for the C432 B126 Portugal? That's how it worked, because I do not understand any of this.

Granted I'm not getting 10h SOT like I did back with B126 but I'm getting 8-9h now with B138 so no complaints here.
This model has been released only 2½ months ago and I've already seen 2 firmware upgrades. They're clearly active, I wouldn't sweat it.

You can downgrade to B126 using FunkyHuawei if you wish.

Phone turns off at 40% battery

Hi,
My xiaomi mi4c has a big problem, the battery discharges quickly and around 40 50% phone turns off with message "0 battery" but i turn on imediatly and battery is there where was before turning off, and from 40 or 50% keeps discharging to real 0%.But on night in sleep mod or inactivity its discharging a little bit, maybe 5% all night. Any clues or advises? Its rooted and has android 6, no auto brightness, no gps enabled or other thing like that... Its very annoying...
Thank you!

I use AICP 12.1, it's one of the most popular threads in the ROM development forum in this section. But I can almost guarantee you that your phone won't have that problem anymore if you install any of the other ROMs, since I believe it to be related to the firmware more than to the ROM itself.

Fast battery drain on the Mi5s occurs when the fingerprint reader is active. Disable it by removing any fingerprints registered in the security setup (in other words, don't use your fingerprint reader option) and reboot. You will notice the phone runs much cooler and the battery lasts much much longer. To permanently resolve the issue and regain use of the fingerprint reader, you must root the phone or find some other way of disabling com.qualcomm.qti.biometric.fingerprint.service.
Until about four days ago, I would never consider taking my Mi5s out of the house because it was useless unless I wanted to drag a power bank with me. A comment by someone got me motivated to dig into this issue and I found other people at xiaomi.eu reporting the basics as I've stated above. Yesterday I removed fingerprints, fully charged the phone and today I have 50% battery left and a cool running phone. Normally, it would be less than 20 % after sitting idle overnight. I've asked Xiaomi to consider an app with root permission to fix this. I am not holding my breath.
Im on custom rom everyday i get around 12-15 hours continue backup excessive usage with wifi and gps on. And even vpn is on because im in china so need vpn for google, facebook and youtube.
Look this I havent locked my phone since 2 hours and battery is still 83 %

Its best with magisk and xposed and even substratum works good.
Daily 13-18hours battery backup.
I have bought my phone two years back on launch Day. So havent changed my battery also.
I wish somebody update ViperOS to latest security patches then it will be more great

Downloaded it this morning and battery drain is definitely higher whilst in use but I also turned on the new turbo mode. Standby has been pretty good though. No heat issues yet. I'll give it 72 hours to see how it behaves.

Temp seems to stabilized but yea, the draining is unreal. It's only been 3hr since i unplugged (100%) and it's already at 73%...and that's just casual browsing!

Battery drain was unbelievable so I rebooted after a full charge and everything is fine now. In-built battery stats show 2hrs 43mins sot and on 74%. Gsam shows 2hrs 39mins sot. Seems the initial installation isn't optimized. I'm still watching it though.
I have restarted the phone multiple times since the update, but battery drain is persisting. At this time of lockdown, Vivo should have been careful on how their update is going to affect 2 year old phones. My phone's battery backup was pretty good till yesterday, and without any useful changes in android 10 they have messed up the battery backup.
I hope they give a patch to fix this issue.
This is the last time I buy a niche device.
Any recommendations to update?

Lucky you. Mine is varying heavily. One day it gave 6 hrs 44 mins SOT. The next day hardly 3 hr 45 mins.
But various Core Android apps are draining the charge. If I restrict the background usage of one core app, another is turning up in the list of battery usage. On the first day it was contact storage, now it is call log backup.
I am fighting temptation to factory reset. But I need my data too. Hope this really gets resolved like it did for you.
Also, are u facing stuttering issue when the charge falls below 5%?
I never faced this in oreo or pie. Looks like the cpu is getting throttled to save battery. But it feels weird being forced not to let battery fall below 5%.
Anyways, will keep u posted on my battery life. Thanks for replying

Question Rog Phone 5 Battery Drain

So I've been using the Rog 5 for a week or so. I've noticed that ANDROID SYSTEM has a massive battery drain.
No matter which apps I use, wether it's YouTube, Chrome, WhatsApp or any gaming app, Android System always had a massive battery drain. This can't be normal can it?
I installed Better Battery Stats & Gsam Battery Monitor and found that Android System has got many Wakelocks too. I've attached screenshots for this, if anyone could help resolve these Wakelocks that would be amazing. Also if anyone could help to lower the Android System battery drain please.
On the better battery stats you will notice over 500 Wakelocks in 9 Hours ! Over 3 days that number is over 2000 Wakelocks
On my first full charge i have 6hrs screen on time and 40% left still cycling the battery for maximum performance. It would be interesting to see what apps can be disabled safely and any other battery saving tips people have here.

Although that's decent battery life, it CAN and SHOULD be better. I'm using greenify too btw
Not many with the phone yet lol lets wait and see i got almost 9hrs screen on time first charge.
I tested by watching youtube videos with bluetooth connected sometimes and this was my screen on time
i had 8.30h of screen time with the huawei p30 pro 4200mah battery, a little disappointing for a 6000mah battery

Dont know whether this is happening only for me. I also tried manual battery calibration by draining the battery and charging till 100 after that i even deleted batterystats.bin file manually. Still 8 or 9 hours max.
Should i change to any other modes in specific? Like i am currently in dynamic mode. Should i tweak into advanced and reduce anything? Or you guys are having a sot of 11 hours in dynamic mode only?

Where's this battery.bin file ? From YouTube you should get way more SOT. Look on gsmarena, YouTube test is north of 13 hours
I use dynamic, auto Refresh rate, GPS, Bluetooth, auto brightness all OFF unless I need them. I use durable mode from 20%
Battery stats.bin file will be in root/system folder.

How do I access the root folder?
Also in location settings make sure you have WiFi scannibg off (it will say 'search for WiFi networks, even when WiFi is turned off') you'll find that in location menu. And if you go to developer options you'll come across something which says "Mobile data always active" turn that off too as it wastes battery for no reason.
Last but not least, go to Zentalk forum, Google it, it's Asus help forum and create a thread on there explaining you have high battery drain from Android System. They will fix it if we all report it
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my my phone. With Root explorer or any other explorer with root permission you can access the folder.
I will disable that mobile data in developer options.
Thank you
I fully charged to 100% left overnight unplugged network standby took 2.5% and Android system was 0.2% and lost all together a total of 3% battery overnight. I think it needs to sleep better than that.
I updated to latest ww global firmware but mine is tincent version if i factory reset will it still stay on ww firmware? i think i need to do a reset. Also how do you do a hard reset via recovery on this is it safe?

It should lose 0% overnight. Android system is the culprit. No you won't lose WW after hard reset and regarding factory reset, I did it through settings as don't know how to enter recovery
Well unless someone reports it they wont fix it so best people report in as stated above ASAP.

I've already done it. I urge everyone else here too, go to Zentalk and create a thread about rog 5 battery drain and any other tissues you might have. I've mentioned battery life, volte not working and I've asked for a option for 90hz refresh rate.
