Ok it seems like the standby drain of miu software is pretty bad.

If i empty my phone in one day i get about 7-8h Dot. If i empty it over 2 Days its only 4-5h, thats a huge difference and i hope some future Rom will fix this.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prince10t:
what rom are you using, China, Global, or Xiaomi.EU ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nhavy:
I'm using the Xiaomi.eu rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rhodesgod:
I think mi 5 has battery drain while standby mode.

i set my phone on airplay mode at night.it doesnt drain even 1% about 6 or 7 hours.

last night i forgot to do this and i see battery percentage has droped about 2-3 percent.

the network was on 2g mod without data enabled.

hope this can be fixed.

Hi guys, are you sure that 4GB/128GB version is only in ceramic? Because I buyed it in black but the seller hasn't specified in the description.

So, in your opinion, this version has almost similar battery life than the 3GB/32-64GB version?

Can someone rate my battery life? I think it's pretty ****. The flat line in the battery cycle is where I slept, so obviously it gained some extra 10 hours of battery life without doing anything. Image the battery life over 1 whole day. Like from the moment you wake up with 100% and unplug it, till the moment the battery reached 14% like my phone is right now. How would you rate the battery life?

You think so? When it's just a whole day, without the night, the battery is near empty at 19:00 oclock when I unplug it at 8 in the morning or so. Thought batteries would at least last for a whole day these days.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] romy4444:
I'd like to share my experience. First I had a good impression with the battery life of my mi5, then after some of the google apps auto updates i was suffering a huge battery drain. It was driving me crazy, I had downloaded all diagnosis apps and root tweaks trying to disable com.google.gms, for me was the biggest issue. My rom was the global V7.3.5.0 . After reading some posts here I decided to try the China ROM V7.3.10.0 , and now I have the best battery life I ever experienced in a smart phone!! I use LG Urbane watch and have it synced all day, even though I had 45% battery in the end of the day.

When I changed my ROM I have wiped only cache, dalvik cache and system. I was lazy to wipe data and sd storage so i did not! But it worked, some apps like the native browser I had to clear data afterwords to fix a crash. And I also had to install google apps by downloading Google Installer from MI app (Chinese market app).

By the way, China Rom is not multi language, but I manage to put mine in Brazilian Portuguese using a third party app more locale 2. My mi5 is unlocked and rooted.

If you're gonna use English, china ROM has it as built in option.

Thats it, happy with my battery now!!

Xiaomi.eu Stable 7.2.13.0..

deleted Xiaomi account, sync features, cloud etc...

Governor changed to "On Demand", Cpu freq changed to "min 300 to max 650mhz" (works perfectly for browsing, videos, music etc... i don't play intense games on my mobile)

Wi-Fi on when available, 3G on when no Wi-fi around, some GPS, some camera... mostly browsing Reddit and Internet...

Edit - ended up at 8% with 7.30h SOT and i did put it on charger before going to bed...

Gaps in battery graph

Hi guys,

I have that phone for 3 weeks and is totally amazing, is the fastest phone I've ever had.

For the battery I want to add that I have some doubts that maybe you can help me. Some days ago I realized that I have a lot of gaps in the battery graph, I have to add that I think there are not restarts or something like that because it has never rebooted while it was in my hand. In addition you can see that wifi is active while it is supossed to be "off".

I have MIUI 7 Global Stable 7.3.5.0

Ok, it seems I cannot attach images, just type in google images: "battery graph gaps"

I hope you can help me! Just add that until now nobody told me that I have not answered a call or something like that.

Thank you! Sorry for my bad English

Best rom for me

Hi, as I tested 3 different Roms I can definetly recommend you the xiaomi.eu rom. It is actually a clean and improved version of the China rom. You have first to flash the official China rom with twrp then you flash the zip file you download from xiaomi.eu. You don't need to boot the China rom, after flashing one you can flash the other on sequence.

Here is the tutorial. As I had a working twrp I didn't do the bootimage load with fastboot, I skiped this step.

Now I have a powerful and multilanguage rom, without Chinese garbage! For me the battery is like 10 times better no joking! Good luck!

Dear All,

The MIUI 8 ROM v6.6.16 has a lot battery drain, so did anyone try to flash the latest MIUI 8 ROM v6.6.23 ROM, so please I need a feedback from you as right now I am using RR ROM which is so nice and it can be used as daily use.

Thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] leledumbo:
Last night I got full 1 day battery life with near 5H SOT under quite heavy use using RR ROM, which seems still trying to stabilize itself (experience with mi4c, it requires 2-3 days until wakelocks become normal). I hope today it can reach more than that. I'll post GSam screenshot when the battery reaches 5% where the ROM starts to let only 1 core alive.

EDIT:

I overslept and at 9 in the morning the device was still alive with 3% battery, but GSam seems to have been killed and the device run using 1 core only. It then reboots when I launch GSam and this is what I got:

GSam seems to be dead at 2, so technically add 7 hours to above time to get more accurate result.

how is the battery life when mi5 is on 4g, no wife? Android Central has an article for comparing mi5 to oneplus 3, and the their conclusion is when mi5 is running on 4G, its battery life is abysmal. can any one share their experiences? I don't have access to wifi during the day, I need a phone with good battery life on 4g. thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] leledumbo:
I think that depends a lot on your 4g signal strength. If it's bad, any phone will run out its battery fast. I'm on both wifi and 4g (when commuting), and so far so good. It's around 24H per charge. The 4g signal here is good, though (got only 1% for level 2 & 3, the rest is 4 and 5).

Different usage pattern. As you can see, social media apps are my top battery drainers. You might have different ones which is more suitable with 7.5.7.0 way of using battery. 8.0.8.0 fits my pattern better.

General rule: Disable restrictions for apps which have background activities. Let them do their background job so that they don't hog the battery waiting for the permission to be given.

Why do you have zero deep sleep?

The last screenshot showing Android OS and System is draining.

Not good.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] leledumbo:
If you don't use your phone, something else will. Don't say that you want 0 battery drain if you don't use your phone. Hey, there are background apps, a lot for me, running. They consume battery. There will never be a situation where all cores are in deep sleep (will only happen when you power off your phone), 1 core must always stay up even at lowest freq, and that eats battery.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] meboy:

Guys, what does the "Awake" mean? I see all of you have the line dashed. I have a solid line.

I was curious why my new Mi5 doesn't last for very long. I'm Getting maximum of 20 hrs with just a light usage.

Maybe it's some bloatware of MIUI? I haven't really installed apps that would work on background all the time. How can I investigate effectively?

The only thing I noticed right away is "Google play services" app used 27 % of battery! I'll start with this.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] xecuttor:
Okay I figured out that mi cloud or something kept the phone awake and I needed to restart the phone. I turned off all auto synces (google accounts and google play updates) and the phone isn't awake 100% time.

First I was excited - After all day use at work I came home with over 50 % after around 11 hours. Not awesome but good enough. Anyway, it was only once. Days before and days after I usually hit 50 % after 7 hours with main "consumptions" apps: Android (13%) and Android system (15%), together with display (28% - being at around half and autoadjusting brightness)

Mi analyser only shows +1 min optimisation with "Wallpaper Carousel app" which cannot be turned off so I just put in in "no background action" mode.

Any ideas how can I find out what to do, what to set up to get longer battery life like you guys do?

I have 32 GB version with latest MIUI 8 global stable. The phone is week old.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] flapjack0811:
I also ran into wakelock/battery drain bug in beta CM13 build, right after installing SIM card and restoring WhatsApp backup (suspecting the 2nd one). Top battery consumer was "Android System" at 26%.

After lots of googling I found this bug report (sorry can't post outside links yet, remove the spaces): code. google. com/p/android/issues/detail?id=207700

Seems that Google account backup is the root cause. Disabling it and reboot solved the wakelock and improved battery life noticeably. I could even re-enable backup without problems.

Before & after images showing battery usage decrease from 35% to 25%, both over a 12 hour period:

Moreover, 5% drain per hour while phone is power off.

Due to excessive battery drain in my Mi5 (with all circumstances) the last resort is obvious and to replace the battery with a new one but What I have found is very big dissapontment...

Did you know How difficult to replace battery in Mi5? (maybe in all Xiaomi devices too).

Maybe MODEM Radio HW or SW is wrong.??
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] leledumbo:

I keep Phone network 3G only to have highest signal level. As I live city center signal has no impact..

As I tested many stock (7 series 8 series global, china and eu) and custom (even 7.1 Nougat) roms and made use of many many battery support apps and mods the last resort probably, due to bad battery or motherboard or modem..

I ordered a new battery. as soon as it arrives I got it replaced and see the result..
