I created an imgur album since someone asked on reddit, thought i'd share it here too.

https://imgur.com/a/J1bZT

My usage is typically: wifi at home, lte outside, no gaming at all, mainly web browsing/reddit/social media/messaging, brightness level 30%, no GPS/bluetooth unless needed.

Its very hard for me to kill the battery within one day, usually end the day around 40%.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] gougous3:
Battery life is pretty good on my side!

All this with Xposed, substratum and viper4android

Am pretty darn impressed. Rooted and cleared off unneded apps (Duo, Hangouts, play movies...you get the idea). Magisk module for Play service dozing.

Hey guys can someone with good battery life please post a screen shot of the included packages under the android system tab in the battery stats please I've got loads on there and it seems excessive to me
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] UltimateBlade:
I'm getting max 3.5 hrs of sot . I'm on lte on both sins. Fully stock. October patch. Is there any problem with my device battery?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] robgee789:
No mate it's a software problem lots of us have it but some dont
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] sale 83:
2 sim cards drain more power.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] robgee789:
I'm only using one sim card but when you check the battery stats android system is using way to much battery
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] sale 83:
Did you checked google account, in settings?

Turn off every sync except gmail.Restart and fully recharge.Check if you have drain after that.

If you have 1 sim, and even with locations turned off and those things in google account turned off, and still get less then 5-6 hours of SOT, then the battery might be defective.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Barbi®:
Battery in this phone is just amazing: more than 7hrs SOT with 2½hrs of Spotify streaming via bluetooth (earphones at gym and car BT), wifi or 4g during the day, installation of various apps and a magisk module, a comparison i made between soms api2 cam apps. It reminds me of my old OPO before Lollipop (times is running wild)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Vish21:
I hardly reach 6 hrs od SOT on normal to medium usage!!

I used two Mi a1, but both gave me same results. I'm a 10% to 90% battery level user. (I had tried draining fully and charging fully once) but still the same. Does anyone have solution for it?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] birdie:
10.5 hours on minimal brightness + wifi + light browsing. Could be at least 1.5 times better.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] gougous3:
Naptime does wonders. 2 to 3 hours of gaming.

And yes, I'm running substratum. That, xposed (along around 5 modules) and viper4android.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] FSLRMH:
I have 2 sim cards, location services on high accuracy, 4g all the time and I got +6h SoT with 20h stand by
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] ydd0ras:
Here my battery stats (gapps all frozen):
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] UltimateBlade:
I have been getting max 4 hrs of sot.people are getting 7 hrs.

I think I have found the problem. I checked my processor using cpu-z and found that processors is running all cores all the time even when no app is running in background.Its running them at 652 MHZ to 1300 MHz and scales them to 2 GHZ when ever a touch input or key press is detected. Can anyone share their cpu-z stats? Specially the guys who are getting 7hrs sot.

Edit 1: Even when I turn on battery saver , all cores keep on running at 652 and then also keeps in fluctuating between higher frequencies all the time.

idk why my images arent loaded.Can you guys see it?

if not then here are drive links.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] birdie:
Everyone posts battery information screenshots with awful stats where Android OS + Android System drain most of the battery, yet people say that battery life is "amazing". OMFG.

It's awful, people. These two "processes" should not even be visible when the ROM is properly optimized.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] sale 83:
If Android OS and System are not visible, that means that the phone is dead.[emoji3] How do you think that your phone would work at all if OS and system are not in use? And to work they need to use the battery, right?[emoji16][emoji16]

Them using less then 20% in the circle of 2-3 days is a normal usage(with OS always less then system %). Draining is when they use more than 20% in one day.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] FrenzyR:
i m getting only 4+ sot can any one help me
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] birdie:
--delete--
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] birdie:
It's hard to be an idiot. It's not like that on the phones which have a decently optimized ROM. Here, take this:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] sale 83:
Yeah, that happens when you hardly use a phone at all..idle 40%, screen 2%.[emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] That's not a decent optimised ROM, that's just not used phone almost at all.

Leave this phone like that and you'll get the same results,even much better,and with the same % of system and os...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] gougous3:
[MENTION=6407945]UltimateBlade[/MENTION] That's the way our SoC was designed to work. Its CPU cores were composed so they remain online all the time. Yeah, our CPU is that efficient. Hotplugging (constantly, dynamically turning cores ON and OFF by load) would probably do more harm than good.

From my experience, the only hotplugging you'll experience is when your battery level hits 10%. At this phase, the system will completely shut down the 4 last cores to reduce the power consumption. They'll only get turned back on once you pass 10% again.

And don't worry much about the speeds, it is scaling as it needs to.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] ggunzio:
Not bad
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] raad.sobhan:
Had awful sot after November update...barely 3-4 hours with average use( don't use any battery saving app or settings)...Today just switched to beta version of Google and play services app and there is some dramatic changes..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] ydd0ras:
Why is it so important for you. I am satisfied with my battery consumption and don't care if my system is eating 3% or 10%. And I don't care if that is ugly or nice. 2 days with one charge, 8-9h SOT - that matters for me. Nothing else.

I don't understand why people are complaining so much about the A1. Lot of guys must be hating this device.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Absolutely agreed. That's the truth, nothing else.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] ГАСООП:
bought the phone 2 days ago, and today was the first time i charged it up to 100%. i had 3 hours 44 minutes SOT with LTE all the time and was still having 51% battery juice left. pretty satisfied with the battery life so far, we'll see in the future.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] t0per666:
Very nice

Very nice . . . !
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Localhorst86:
I did a test with PCMark Work 2.0 to be able to reproduce the test under similar conditions on my work phone. No tools to "optimize" performance (RAM cleaners, greenify etc.) were used on either of the two devices.

Xiaomi Mi A1: 9h 15m of screen on time (100 to 20 %). Mobile, WiFi and Bluetooth enabled, regular apps in the background (facebook, news, instagram, whatsapp etc.), screen brightness set to about 20% (what I usually use on a daily basis unless I am in direct sunlight, I do not have a tool to calibrate the brightness as per PCMarks instructions)

Samsung Galaxy A5: 9h 53m of screen on time (100 to20%). Mobile, WiFi and Bluetooth enabled, however no social networking apps installed, only email (due to company policies), screen brightness set to approximatelly the same brightness as the Mi A1

So factoring in the fact that the A5 was not running with as many background apps active as the A1 I would conclude that the results are at least comparable. I am also fairly certain that the 9h wont hold up during daily use due to variations in signal strenght, cell tower switching etc.

However, I feel that 6-7h of daily screen on time can realisticly be expected in practical use, which seems to be what I am getting in daily use as well as others.

On my mi a1 SOT 5 hours

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] gog3219:
I'm not too certain that my details are quite correct but according to my battery info I've had 12 hours screen on time.

I'm rooted / Have TWRP / and I'm on the august update as I'm far too lazy to figure out root for DEC update lol.

Mostly I use the Messageings and the photo takings

I was very surprised at the low decrease even when watching videos.

But as I'm writing this I have gone down two percent so I guess it really varies.

How to get the beta versions?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] surajsun22:
I got 8.5 hrs of SOT with medium usage. I.e. watching YouTube and web browsing + light games like clash royale, egg Inc etc.

Brightness set to automatic and set the slider to about 50%.

WiFi was on 100% of the time and mobile data turned off.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] pantezuma:
Just in case someone is interested, I share some results obtained using BBS (Export Feature) and Excel.

I think this is interesting cause considers more than 4 days of different types of usage (reading, listening music, browsing, gaming, rebooting, updating, installing apps, etc.)

All stats below are without considering the time the phone was plugged in and charging.

Total Time On - 104.41 (Hours)

Total Battery Usage - 131.00% (Discharge)

Total SOT - 13.58 (Hours)

Discharge / Day - 30.11%

Average SOT / Day – 3.12 (Hours / Day)

Projected SOT / 100% Battery -10.37 (Hours / Full cycle)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] hypermaster:
I just got my phone delivered 1 day back.(Matt Black Colour)

Did all the updates & am getting pathetic battery life. Charging it twice a day.

Network issue - keeps switching 4G off or keeps going to 3G.

Finally after searching i tried *#*#4636#*#* & changes the bank to LTE/WCDMA -- Now let me see how it lasts with this band.

I hope they come out with a good stable update for this phone, i feel like throwing it with the bloody battery drain.

My usage : No Games, No Youtube... only calls, a lot of whats app, email (6 email accounts), light social media, browsing.

Same usage with the MI Note 4 (4gb variant) used to be awesome. At the end of the day i used to still be at 30%
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] jdki666:
Sorry for the silly question but this HD icon on statusbar what it does?!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] surajsun22:
It's for volte. Apparently Xiaomi decided to change the icon to 'hd'.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] jdki666:
I thought it has something to do with the DPI for battery saving ? thanks man
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] JaadiBooti:
But my retailer told me to do this the first time. And I still get amazing battery life

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] klincharov:
84% bluetooth ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] dsafro:
Showing this strange percentage since the update to Oreo. Have not the slightest idea why. Looks like a bug. Isn't affecting battery life.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] klincharov:
btw, anyone rooted tried changing the scheduler and limiting the max frequency?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] leajian:
6h sot with messaging Facebook, little time with calls, a lot of YouTube and a lot of time playing Clash Royale.

I can't drain this battery, I'm overly satisfied.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Rajeev:
Fantastic Oreo. Really happy with stable update
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] klincharov:
Wow, that is really impressive! Have you tuned anything ? I flashed back Nougat, since i was getting only 4hrs. Glad you are happy with Oreo.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Rajeev:
I just rooted and removed some unwanted apps only. But if u see i never used these things:-

FB and Messenger

Twitter

Instagram

Maps

Location

Auto Synchronisation

Auto Brightness

I have only 3 social media apps. Whatsapp + Telegram + XDA Lab. But a good gamer too.. And a total of 133 apps installed.. Using Adaway with Adfree YouTube and most of my apps are adfree...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] klincharov:
Well, from those i actively use only messenger, i use the website for FB. Could you share exactly which stock apps you removed ?

General question, anyone tried using Greenify (+aggressive doze) to improve battery life ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] Rajeev:
Maps

Google photos ( i always store photos in my pc and using One plus 5T album)

Google other stuffs

Etc

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] riccetto80:
With oreo (set up all app who dont comply to battery saver to dont use battery when not active) and an app for force doze (snaptime, greenify and so on, no need to root, is enough 2 ADP command via usb debug) the battery is eternal, lol.

i use always wifi active, AC, 8/10 hours day whatsapp web, when i go out (1 or 2 hours/day) 3G.

I dont use much the screen, and the battery cand last 4/5 days with 2 hours screen time, lol.

is amazing how a battery so/so like in the mi a1 can stand so long with oreo and some optimizations.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] sman25:

Jesus my battery is in a crap state, now it shows 68% with 1:15 hr SOT.

My A1 has the lastest update, Im about to lose my mind
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] riccetto80:
did you forced the ota update? to me forcing it stopping google service and/or clearing the cache or delete the data mess up bit time with battery stats.

If you forced the ota update, do a reset, will fix the battery stats issue.

Also, limit the background activities of all app you dont need it. (oreo)

some apps have this option if you click in "battery" option, in app list.

i limited the background activities on all app, basically, also in google play, lol.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] dave il barbaro:
I got the same sot with 4G/wifi, Bluetooth, location and two sims always on. Generally on 2days usage.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] riccetto80:
1- In app list check battery section of each app and disable "background activities", if present (only some app have this voice, the app who ont follow latest google rules for battery usage), for app you dont need to run rampant in background, i disabled for almost all app, even google play service and google play, lol.

2- Disable any google app you dont need.

3- Use naptime (i buy naptime x, from frincisco franco, we must support devs like him) or another app to force doze (greenify is an alternative, have function to force doze too), they dont need root, is enough 2 command using ADB. My phone is not root but i use naptime x without any issue, after i applied the 2 command by ADB.

3- Set the screen to close after 15 second and disable ambient notification.

Being a full hd screen, 5,5 inch, the screen use a lot of battery, so limit the screen usage when not really needed will extend battery life a lot. Also lower the screen luminosity.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] hopa88:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] klincharov:
Then its the rom to blame... Sadly I don't have much of a base to compare. How do the release cycle look btw ? Every month ? LineageOS spoiled me i guess.

How did you downgrade to nougat? What method did you use?

You can flash it with MI Flash Tool. :)

Battery life with Oreo (January) for me is really great. Maybe a tiny bit weaker than Honor 8 lite. :)

Even if I'm rooted with Magisk and have unlocked the bootloader? Will I lose all my data after flashing? Thanks btw
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] pshnd:
You can choose if you wanna keep your shiii... stuff, but I won't recommend it as you are flashing older system and it could potentially make some bad time for you. :D

Wasn't rooted or unlocked, but don't see why it shouldn't work. It actually unlocks the bootloader anyway to flash the system and you can choose if you wanna leave it unlocked or relock it. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] bobbypratama97:
hi, i just bought the xiaomi mi a1 on sunday. On my first ever charge, i got around 4 hours screen on time until the battery 35%. Is that normal? Because i see a lot of comment on this thread that says they easily reach 6-7 hours SOT..

Android : 7.1.2 Nougat

Signal Condition during usage : so bad, just around 25%-75% of the signal bar.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] coolasnju1993:

But how???
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] coolasnju1993:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] en1nef:
The combination of ROM and Kernel is by far the best I've ever used, hands down. I've tested other ROMs and the most i got out of those are around 4 - 5 hours of SOT with lower standby time.

ROM : BootleggersROM 2.1 Stable

Kernel : MetaPhoenix's V2 - blu_active

Standby time: 16 hours 1 minute

SOT : 6 hours 43 minutes (battery level at 5%)

Usage : Medium to Heavy (games (AOV), movies (MovieBox), YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, Flipboard)

All and all, I'm superbly impressed by this phone. It is really one the most worthwhile budget smart phone out there. :good:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] klincharov:
What governor and any special kernel settings?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Real Life Review] en1nef:
Basically i just activated the blu_active governor and some in app tweaks inside kernel auditor. i also disabled the location and only activate it when needed. That should help preserve the battery. Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary.
