Hmm... usage looks normal but the battery life isn't. You don't even have the battery-eating-Facebook there! Looking at gallery eating quite significant 5%, do you enable cloud sync? I only enable Find Device, all other Mi Cloud services are disabled. The same 14 hours usage at this moment, 2 hours SOT, 51% battery left (counting starts from 95% since I rebooted to reflect a config change, so in total 44% battery used), Facebook and AnTuTu eating 8.2% an 6.1%, respectively.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreidam:
I don't use Facebook that much so I didn't login to Facebook app yet. Yes cloud sync is enabled for testing purposes.

I have custom recovery (TWRP) and root on the phone...this could affect battery life? Or maybe is something wrong with the battery itself ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] leledumbo:
TWRP and rooting won't do harm to battery at all. Cloud sync is my only guess for the culprit, you can try turning that off.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] chada77:
Upgraded my Mi5 from 7.2.13 (Xiaomi.eu) to 8.1.60 (also Xiaomi.eu) but having awful battery life.

Update was through TWRP wiping everything (except system partition) including internal SD.

Have tried turning off MIUI battery optimization and so on in the security app but no significant impact. Also turned on and off MIUI optimisation in developer options.

Wakelock detector shows no long running wakelocks.

SoT has gone from more than 4 hours on MIUI 7 to about 2 on MIUI 8.

See screenshots here: http://imgur.com/a/ltO2U

Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this or should I go back to 7?

Thanks Chada

My current battery stats (Aicp 6.0.1), I'm impressed how well it goes:

Note that I still have more than 50% battery.

LineageOS 14.1 here, this is my battery drain

The battery is overall good but the weird thing is that also in flight mode i have similar consumption to normal use (about 3% each hour)

Do you have any idea?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sas_sas:
It seems your english is not good enuf to write and understand all but, let me make my comments;

I am afraid your mi5 battery drain is similar like mine..

Despite inquiry made within the last a couple of months and tries with many roms and kernels and as well as so many optimizations and customazitions I have not find a proper solution.

Most probably it is hardware defect. I even replaced the battery with a new one..

No one has a solution and able to make a significant support for such a specific situ..

Pls check if your battery still makes the same drain

- when your phone is shut down and fully power off,

- when airplane mod is on..

If Yes, do not look for any cure. My suggestion, Throw it away ..

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with my MI5, some big battery drain.

I have install last LineageOS after a full wipe, and I didnt restaure my app with titanium backup, but with play store.

Apparently my phone doesn't go on deep sleep, always running. I have use wakelock detector, and apparently Google Device Policy ( I have to use this, because I use a profesionnel google account which require this) an d calendar use a lot of CPU.

I have a rooted phone, and use greenify with agressive dooze.

Do you have any ideas? recommendation ?

I'm getting roughly 5 hours of SOT on Global Stable 8.1.2.0. It was so much worse and solution for me was restricting background activity of google service framework and related apps.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mafish:
Any tips or features you people disable or enable to have more battery life?

Been using my mi5 for a week and i barely get to 3h of SOT, stays around 2h38m before having to juice it up.

I've noticed that the top part of the device, both front and back gets warm easily with simple tasks as browsing, videos and etc, is this normal?I understand that charging it gets really hot because of the QuickCharge feature, but with light usage it gets warm, not hot, but very noticeable.

My mi5 came with global rom(miui8) already installed and also up to date.

-mi sync/cloud disabled

-Barely use 3G (once/twice a week)

-Wifi always on

-Manually set some apps to Restrict Background Activity

-Most of my notifications are disable, enabled for apps i use

-Whatsapp and Telegram are locked and set to autostart

-Device encryption by password enabled

-Animations off

The only thing i can think of is try to wipe the system and install it again so i can get at least 5h of SOT

PS: I came from an iPhone, and after 6 years of apple devices, this is my first android device that i own.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Al3xxxinho:
Hi,

I am running miui 8.1.4.0 on a 32gb / 3gb ram device and today at 12% battery left I had 3.30h SOT with aprox 1 hour voice calls, which is pretty awful.

I had the 64gb version in the past, and I remember that I had 6-7 hours SOT having the same usage pattern as this one

What could be wrong ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Hey guys, I decided to update the thread in hopes of clearing confusion.

Currently I've found two methods of rooting that seem to help people.

Method 1 - E.K IT Services: ekitservices.com currently run by senior member @djerick3 *Not a sponsorship*

Method 2 - CF-Auto Root: Very simple and easy to use, all you need a:

Windows PC (7 - 10)

USB Cable

Step 1 - Download CF-Auto Root for the SM-G920P.

Step 2 - Using either adb (adb reboot download) or hardware keys (turn the device off and hold in Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button once prompted, press Volume Up)

Step 3 - Plug the device into the PC and open the included Odin in the CF-Auto zip

Step 4 - Click the "AP" button and choose the included md5 file

Step 5 - Make sure to check the "Option(s)" tab and make sure only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked. Then switch back to the main tab and press start.

Step 6 - Wait as CF-Auto Root will begin to boot and root, note that the process can take while. Upon rebooting you should have the SuperSU app (Note. If its not there, you can find it HERE)

Step 6 - Enjoy

< ----- Optional - TWRP Install ------ >

As of right now, current TWRP releases are not working on marshmallow. Lucky though [MENTION=2410609]ram9200[/MENTION] created a custom version of the tool that should work:cool:

Step 1 - Download the TWRP Tar file

Step 2 - Boot back into Odin mode and flash via Odin on your PC (use the "AP" tab once more)

Hope this helps:good: as always though, of you need help feel free to to send me a PM:cool:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Neto.:
I must be doing something wrong

when I flash it with odin it says it was successful and reboots to home screen, then when I turn the phone off an turn on with power+home+volup it goes to a blue screen saying its installing an update and then to normal recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
maybe, just maybe u didnt turn on OEM unlock in development setting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Neto.:
I did turn on

Same issue here. when recovery is booted. blue update screen then original recovery. OEM is on

im getting the blue updateing as well. then goes to original recovery/ OEM is on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] shadowsoul67:
unchecked the auto reboot and followed directions and am now rooted. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tetreves:
This worked for me! Thank you so much!

A few modifications to the overall guide:

a. Turn on OEM unlock (I forgot to do this first)

2. Turn off auto-boot in ODIN (I needed to do this, as TWRP would not load the first time)

d. Move SuperSU zip folder to phone (same as other methods)

Now just need a good custom ROM...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Emadness:
I unchecked auto-boot in Odin and turned on OEM unlock, but it isn't working. I boot into download mode and apply the TWRP, but it is just stuck in download mode with the white bar at like 99% complete. It doesn't hit 100%. I forced my phone off and then booted into recovery right after and now my recovery mode is a white screen. Not really sure what to do.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ShadyDealr:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Have you installed the proper drivers? Can your laptop see the phone as an MTP? Once in TWRP, have you enabled mounting in TWRP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Connect the phone via cable. In TWRP, go to Mount and toggling MTP on and off, see if that makes any difference.

And happy 4th of July to you and your family.

I have the newest update of the OTA G920PVPU3CPF4. Stock phone, never rooted. Warranty Expired. Can I use this method or do I have to roll back to a previous firmware and update from there?

If so, where can I find that firmware? Apparently the one CF Auto root is compatible with is G920PVPU3CPB6.

Root Success!!

This is my first time on this site, I randomly decided to root my phone. I followed this with the help of the comments and got it successfully rooted with minimal difficulty! I'm running PF4 on my 6.0.1 SM-G920P. I had a little difficulty getting my computer to recognize the phone, but this video helped get that issue fixed. I used all the files from here (koop1955) as talked about above.

So I ran CF Auto Root with Odin, and the log said <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

But the bar on the phone got stuck at around 99%. So I thought it was an issue similar to what other users reported and I held vol down + power + home to exit out of odin mode. When I rebooted, the CF Auto Root took over and did its thing. My phone went through about 5 bootloops, but finally started back up. I checked with Root Checker Basic and it says Root access is properly installed! (SuperSU is also where it ought to be without doing anything extra!)

I still need to install TWRP and make a backup before I do anything else, but thanks you guys for all the useful information!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Al Edson:
I bought a "TextNow" S6 running 5.1.1. out of the box. KNOX was already tripped when they installed their firmware so I no worries for me there. TextNow does not offer an update to MM and since they use the Sprint Network, I thought I'd try running the Sprint version of 5.1.1. It installed and everything worked, Yeah!!! I manually started the OTA updates to PF4 and followed your instructions. The only ODIN that would work (for me) was v3.12.3. I'm pleased to say that I'm rooted and have TWRP installed. Thank for all your hard work and contribution to us. You Rock!

**** UPDATE ******

I took the plunge.

The apk for beta 6.0 didnt take, luckily, the app said this phone wasnt supported, instead of trying it and breaking it, so thanks!

BUt for now, i guess i just wait...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Not sure what APK you are referring to . If you are trying to use CF-Auto-Root, you need to use Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Troundtree97:
ok so i rooted my phone succesfully the first time yay! now with the recovery what do i do? does it already have TWRP installed, but just a non-working version? or do i have to install the TWRP tar file to get TWRP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Using Odin to install the TAR file of the correct version of TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/zerofltespr/) would be best.

You can also use a program like Flashify to install the IMG file from the same website above, if you are uncomfortable with Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] _Epic:
When i go to do the Auto Root in Odin it fails at the recovery part. Then when I look at the phone it says something about Blocked by FRP Lock?

Let the phone boot and then enable Developer options. Set OEM Unlock to on.

Hi Guys, I have updated my g928p to 6.0.1 which locked it and I cannot use my sim card any more (EU). I have rooted it using the method in the topic and all went fine. I then tried TWRP and got this message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" when trying to boot into it. I have searched the web in hopes to find another version of TWRP and flashed twrp-2.8.7.0-zerofltespr.img.tar which broke the boot entirely. I now cannot boot at all, always getting "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" . Can you please advise what do do ? How to fix this and possibly take off operator lock again ? Thank you.

UPD

Flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-zeroflte.tar and there is no error now, but no boot either

UPD2

Flashed CF-Auto-Root-zerofltespr-zerofltespr-smg920p.tar.md5 one more time, phone boots up now, but TWRP doesn't work, I see blank screen.

Any help with TWRP and unlock would be very much appreciated.

You flashed the firmware for the 920 on your 928 phone? Try flashing the correct firmware and TWRP and see if that fixes things.

First thing is that you need the proper firmware: https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G928P/
