hm...so good sot..mine just can get 3@4 hours sot...just use chrome..whatsapp...telegram...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] nakulp:
Check which apps are draining battery more than usual in

Accubattery. Then if they are not necessary to be used all the time use Greenify app to hibernate them.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] adrian8101:
This apps like accubattery are stupid apps. Using them battery is draining faster. Doesn't do anything.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Lol they are not supposed to do anything, just show you how much other apps and services consume battery.. and it does
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] adrian8101:
Lol yes. And the app consuming itself a lot of battery :) That's why I said it's not good lol
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] taher1819:
So what am i supposed to do? Uninstall apps one by one ? And the overnight drain is 12-15% with mobile data and wifi off
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
You are not supposed to keep the app... When you find out what is causing battery problems, you can delete the app...ofcourse its eating battery, its monitoring whats happening in the background, every process. It does its job just fine and its a good app.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] nakulp:
Please run Better battery stats or Accubattery (give it Usage Access permission) & let it run in the background for the full length of almost 1 discharge cycle (100%-5%) while using your phone as usual.

**Do not kill this app on the background by clearing recents!(better to lock it in memory).**

The resulting gathered info on discharge rates sorted by various apps or system processes+deep sleep time will then be useful to know what's causing the excessive battery drain=low SOT & then after we are able to pin those factors down can finally fix then & make your phone able to be last the usually expected minimum 6-7hours of screen on time.

Edit : also useful will be the cpu frequency times gathered by something like Kernel Adiuter (to check if frequency table is misconfigured or not or cores are not sleeping etc)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] taher1819:
Is it possible that the problem is not with my usage and my battery have been defective all this time because from the day of purchase i noticed that the battery percentage was going down quickly, i even thought of replacing the phone but couldn't do it due to some reason.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] drkdeath5000:
I wouldnt look in to this too much, just remove any apps you dont use and enjoy the phone for what it is.

I had a similar sot issue, nearly drove myself nuts over it. Tried everything. Still can only achieve 4-5 hours screen on time and 1-2 day standby but i just let it be and enjoy the phone. As long as you get close to 48 hours out of it before charging that should be good enough. Anyone thats getting more than 5 hours screen on time is clearly not using the phone, they probably dont even have gapps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Started as a smart answer but finished with nonsense, sorry lol. Battery life depends on many factors, and ofcourse standby time is a huge factor. I think 5h sot over period of 2 days is decent battery life, but your claim that anyone who gets more doesnt use their phone normally is wrong, because i get more than that no matter what rom i use. Its all about how you use your device, i dont play games, its mainly reading stuff, browsing, social networks, some spotify, etc. Also no battery drainers like facebook, fb lite is much better. If its single day, 9-10h sot. If its 2 days standby, usually atleast 6-7hours. So i know for sure that your claim is just wrong. And before anyone asks, i just rom as it comes, no modifications, be it miui or be it Pixel exp im using now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Current stats. Also over an hour streaming spotify in car and about 20mins of calls.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] drkdeath5000:
Well you guys must have a fantastic chip blessed by the xiamoi gods thats all i can conclude. I only use my phone for light web browsing, texting, whatsapp and the odd phone call for 5 mins. Beyond that i dont do anything else, no social media. Mobile data is off so wifi only and if i'm out and about which is most of the day both wifi and data is off. Signal is great in my area always 4 bars reception and my screen brightness is set to the lowest but i still only get 4-5 hours sot. Like i said i've tried everything.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Its more like other way around. We have normal devices performing as they should, while your device is obviously underperforming. If you went on review site like gsmarena.com and check their battery test of RN5, you would find results similar to mine, not yours.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] drkdeath5000:
I think there may be far more underperforming to be honest your either lucky or unlucky with these devices. If you're one of the unlucky ones like me I don't think there's a lot you can do other than uninstalling apps you don't need. If anyone does find a solution i'll be checking here but for what its worth for a few more hours screen on time i'm not that bothered. There are far worse issues than battery life so i count myself somewhat lucky it could have been much worse.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Completely disagree. Test results are quite similar between different reviewers, also users here report good battery life. Most of people reporting bad battery life have rouge setups, phone not sleeping properly etc. Or using VPN 24/7 and wondering why battery life is bad lmao. I dont believe you get lucky or unlucky with device, they are all the same, except maybe few out of thousand being actually defect one way or another. I never had battery issues with any of my smartphones, they all performed pretty much as expected. Its not rocket science really. App like accubattery will confirm both your battery capacity and the apps eating it. It will show actual numbers and mah usage of select apps or service.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] nakulp:
I get 4.5 hours of non stop SoT just on Pubg@balanced&60FPS. This is the most intensive, continuous workload I can think of.

If not gaming this chipset& battery easily gives me 6-8hours of sot..easily & that includes browsing, YouTube, music, videos etc.

As said by another user above your phone/battery are absolutely underperforming & certainly not as per the existing norm.

So instead of accepting & settling for the mediocre you could actually run Accubattery & check the actual battery drain by apps & system processes listed by mAh consumed & get a better experience but mostly it's about getting the least expected out of this phone & what you paid for..afterall 7-8 hours is least expected considering its a xiaomi & not Samsung ;):good::cool:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] drkdeath5000:
That's mine from a few pages back. 4.5 hours is pretty average for my screen on time. Like i said i dont game, just light browsing (thats what the Y is) and sometimes i will watch youtube for 10 mins but beyond that its just normal phone stuff (phone calls, texts) so pretty basic usage really. I even tried greenify'ing everything a while back to prevent wake locks but i barely saw any improvement so i just accept it for what it is now. I'm never going to see anywhere near 7 hours SoT let alone 10 hours...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Well, you got over 4h sot with not even 40% of battery used. So during 1 day with this usage you will get atleast 8h sot. Thats normal. But you used 43% of batterry on standby of 45hours, i would say thats too much. Your phone is eating more than mine when resting, meaning you either have wakelocks, rogue apps consuming battery in background, or just bad reception.

Edit: even looking at your screenshot again, i can see 2 sim cards, and both with average reception at best, so no surprise.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] drkdeath5000:
That was actually from 85% charge, around 3000mah and i've always had the battery drain while resting, its obvious thats whats eating the battery. Even completely stock with no apps installed i lose roughly 2% per hour, could never figure it out. Signal is fine, 4 bars most of the time, 3 if its cloudy but otherwise a good signal. I know other people have the same issue with battery drain which is why i said your either lucky or unlucky with these phones. I would RMA it but i got it from eglobal so the warranty is non-existant but i took that risk when i made the decision to buy this phone so just got to accept it for what it is.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Lol, its not luck. Im 90% sure its your reception. Also 2 sim cards will always use more than 1. That screenshot you showed just shows that you can get 8-9h sot like everyone else here during a period of day. So battery is fine. And all these phones use same modem, so its either reception, or wakelocks. Also out of 45h standby only 34h was in deep sleep mode, so i think you have too many wakelocks. And just because its stock, doesnt mean you cant configure your phone badly. Turn on backup in android settings, you will have like 20% worse battery life. Turn on location history, again, **** battery life. Android is full of not optimised and buggy functions. Turn on keep data active even when connected to wifi, again, big hit to battery life.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] drkdeath5000:
2 sim cards shouldnt affect battery that much, the phone was after all designed with 2 sims in mind. Reception is fine and as far i can tell i have nothing waking the phone, all i see is screen wake locks which would be when i'm using the phone physically waking it. Also when i ran completely stock, i mean to say i didnt touch any settings, i ran it in the stock state for a couple days just to see if i could achieve any better screen time since you guys were getting such great battery stats but it just didnt happen for me. I realise android isnt perfect believe me i've tried everything from disabling gapps (using microg in its place) to greenifying everything and with kernel battery tweaks that got me to around 6 hours SoT but for the extra hour it just wasnt worth it. I'm running masik currently with default settings nothing greenified and i can attain 5 hours over 2 days so its not that bad but nothing like what you are getting. I'm sure there is a fault somewhere with the phone, could be a bad cpu, global specific, bad battery who knows all i know is i cant get anywhere near the 7-10 hours screen time.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Try running phone without a sim card and see if that improves battery life lol. Of course it will, by a big margin. So second sim affects battery life just as much. Just because it was designed with 2 sim cards in mind, doesnt mean they can cheat technology and make second sim not use any power lol. Well, battery stats dont show you wakelocks, so im not sure how you decided that you dont have any. And again, your battery life is fine, its not the best here, but certainly good enough. If you use your phone a lot during 1 day, you will certainly make it to 8-9h sot at the end of the day. Most users here achieve those numbers over a day, not two. I can achieve ~8h sot during 2 days, because i live in a city, i rarely drive to country, so my reception is always perfect, i also dont have any wakelocks, so standby doesnt affect my battery life that much.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] drkdeath5000:
Thanks but i cant really run it without either one of the sims, i need them both since i use one for work and one for friends/family. The dual sim was actually one of the main attractions that brought me to this phone. FYI I looked at wakelock detector for wake locks, its mostly showing screen wake locks from android system, youtube and the browser but none of that would account for such a massive battery drain.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
That was a joke. I wasnt offering not using sim cards, i was saying that having a second one takes a big hit to battery, and its the same story with every dual sim phone. You are looking at "screen wakelocks", not cpu or wakeup triggers. In the app, at the top, press the sun or lightbulb icon, im not sure which one it is lol. Then select cpu wakelocks and then triggers.

Also noticed you using es file explorer. ****ty and shady app to say the least. Full of useless crap and bloatware, very heavy on resources, and developed by shady chinese company. Strongly suggest you to use alternatives. Apps like this is what causes troubles lol.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] drkdeath5000:
CPU triggers are empty, not sure how long it takes to populate or if i just have none. Triggers are attached.

In regards to es file explorer its shady yes but i'm using a modded version with all the bloatware and ads removed. Great file explorer imo you just need to know how to disable all the crap it comes with.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] kos25k:
Accubattery is best qpp for just monitoring battery into,drain etc not "boosting" and has a superb feature called battery health.

I can live with this I guess :D (sarcasm)

More Viber than I usually use, but had it been less of that and more of my usual usage (which wasn't far of even in this cycle) it would be maybe 1h of SOT less so I'm happy anyway.

Battery usage after using my phone for more than 8 months

4G browsing

9:45 hours SOT

MIUI Version : 10.2.1

Tip : Avoid Google Chrome browser to get maximum battery life :P
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Lol, Kiwi browser is based on Google Chrome source code
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] xell75:
I avoided Chrome to begin with, was the first thing I deactivated xD
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] SunilSuni:
Based on chromium Canary source code
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Yes, which is google chrome source code, made by google, by same team that developed chrome. In this case since its canary, so equivalent would be chrome dev version. Minus codecs and google design.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] onliner:
The problem is not the base, but the synchronization feature, Chrome consumes more battery than other Chromium browsers because it establishes a constant connection with Google servers to send analytics, performance reports, logs, browsing history, passwords, the "data saving" feature, etc, etc.

PS: Chromium developer team is not the same as Chrome developer team, Chromium has 4 or 5 times more engineers than Chrome, because one is the base, the other is just the base + Google stuff, the code is minimal in comparison.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Soo, untick send analytics and thats it. And other things you listed are also things other browsers do, that is sync your history and stuff. Chromium has same sync engine as chrome. Again, this also can be turned off. I just feel like chrome is being bashed unfairly :). If you say that chrome is ****, but chromium is the best, you are just talking nonsense, cause chrome is 95% chromium. Chromium even include many features that depend on google servers, and those features are enqbled by default. That includes a web service that helps fix mistyped web addresses, a prediction service, google anti-phishing feature, and more.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] onliner:
I've never said that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Didnt mean you personally, i was reffering to guys i had discussion with before you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] SunilSuni:
Please keep the discussion between Chrome and kiwi browser.. (to be honest discussion should be about SOT :D )

Kiwi browser has AdBlock features (this is enough to load pages faster than the Chrome browser)

Kiwi browser has better JavaScript (10% faster than the Chrome as per the developer)

Chromium is open source but Chrome browser is not a open source

Google sync is not available for third party or chromium based browser

Google sync is exclusive to Chrome browser
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Incogn:
Well, i always use adaway, so i dont have any ads in browser and some apps, so i wouldnt know lol. Developers always advertise their job, it would be cool to see some actual tests. I find it hard to believe that 1 guy suddenly optimizes code so well he gets 10% javascript speed gain, while a whole engineer team getting paid a ton by google cant lol. Anyways, i never argued which is better browser, it depends a lot on personal prefference. What i dont agree upon, is this claim that chrome is a battery hog while somehow other chromium based browsers are not. Its insane to think so when the core of all these applications is the same. Its only design and some under-the-hood optimisations that differs.

Ps. Dont see how chrome being not open source is a problem, 95% of it is open source, other bits are intelectual property and its only logical google doesnt want to give away all secrets for others to rip off.

Pss. Yes, seems like google sync is no longer available to 3rd party browsers, chromium included. It used to be, but was cancelled few years ago.

Psss lol. Here, i found an actual speed test of browsers

https://joyofandroid.com/fastest-browsers-for-android/

So while chrome is not on top in any of those tests, kiwi browser didnt beat chrome in single test. Not a single test. So much of those speed claims
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] xell75:
I don't get why Firefox is that bad, it performs really good on my phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Luq4dmin:
On latest Havoc OS with Primo Kernel...with CHROME and other Gapps...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] ghanipradita:
Impressive! Did you reduce the cpu clock speed?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Luq4dmin:
Nope i dont.,,but the kernel got underclock along with its own EAS
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] xell75:
Sounds all good, but no option for whose who like to keep their device locked and unrooted like me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] SunilSuni:
Same here.. but after official android pie update I will switch to custom ROMs(just to enjoy android Q :P )
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Kiesport:
Which Havoc build are you using? Havoc Mod or latest Havoc official. And which version of primo kernel are you using?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] xell75:
I will keep my device unmodified as long as possible.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Luq4dmin:
Latest Havoc official and primo 3.5
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] xazakasrizava:
That's strange, I just installed Primo, now apparently it's called IceCold, anyways I installed the kernel at 100% and after twenty minutes of SoT my battery dropped to 90%. Did you experience the same when you first installed the kernel?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Luq4dmin:
Not really.,,all depends on usage...i do have great battery even on the latest icecold.,,plus i dont play game with that usage
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] xazakasrizava:
I did not play any games for that period of time. It was mostly idle or I was using chrome or browsing Facebook.

But oh well. If the problem persists I'll ask for help on the kernel's thread. Thank you though for the quick reply!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Pavl79:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Aleem_Sonija:
I'm having this weird battery drain Issue In Almost All Kernels and Roms,I've tried Pixel Experience as well as Syberia OS and Revenge OS.

And many Kernels I've tried including Derp Kangaroo Ice Cold Pure Coffe,But All Giving Me This Abnormal Battery drain Even In Deep Sleep.

While Using tge device Battery Drain Is normal But In Sleep mod It's just So Bad. I don't use my phone much. Most Of the Time It's remain In idle mod.

Please guys Help me Out, Would be very Thankful.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Plekst:
Well you device sleeps good, so thats not the problem. First you should show battery stats and tell what you call abnormal, but from your screenshots, i can see that you have quite bad connection, and it can very easily ruin your battery life. So simple test, just turn off sim, if in airplane mod there is no drain, thats your issue, bad signal strenght.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] Aleem_Sonija:
Yeah maybe that will Fix The issue, Will try and Report

BTW Thanks.

Coming from redmi note 4, I'm actually impressed because redmi note 4 was giving me 8-9 hours on aosp and 7 hours on miui, this is giving me something like 9 hours on miui. Most of the days when I get home from work, my battery is 70%+ and that's after watching netflix too!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] OC-Freak:
Charged the phone when I got it.

Now I'm putting it to charge again at 22% battery. Last charged: 2 days 20 hours ago. SOT: 6h 15m. The overnight drain on this phone is impressive, I'm getting 1-2% only, and I have data, wifi, bluetooth and GPS always on.

This phone can probably do 10hr+ SOT in a single day, with even some intensive apps.
