Mine is low compare to your stats.

Max 7 hours of SOT.

Usage Pattern: Around 2 hours of voice calls, moderate browsing, facebook, instagram, around 1 hours of youtube streaming. Total battery run time: 24 hours to 28 hours.

Wifi almost always on with little bit of 4G usage.

and I dont play games.

Should I ask for replacement?

Please suggest
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] sayHello21:
You get 7 hours SOT with 2 hours of voice calls probably 4G, Instagram. I normally get up to 9 hrs of SOT with 3 hours of PUBG.

Pretty much right there. Just in case post the screen shots like others did. People could help suggest.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] aniM61915:
Not being able to upload screen shots. It says 'bad request'.

How can I upload the screen shots???
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] anamadheeya:
How is the battery after the update???I usually get around 7hr with 2 hrs of PUBG and other normal social media apps..I am still in version which was initialy provided by POCO.Is the battery improved after the update??I shd update to latest version or is it better to be in current one??
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] PD2091:
2 hours of calls is probably the reason....I don't have this much calls in one cycle

I don't use fb too... Try to see apps that are eating up the battery.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] aniM61915:
Cell standby eating around 14% juice. Is it normal?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] aniM61915:
For me back up has gone down. Before updating I was getting over 8 hours of sot.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] sayHello21:
Beat that.

On update 9.6.18.0

Gaming: 3 hrs, YouTube : 1 hour, some calls , lots of browsing, camera , music.....Etc. But this time I tried battery saver.

Last charge 1day 45 mins ago.

SOT: 10 hrs 12 mins
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] AndroMor:
Thank you

Are you using magisk?

And please backup your kernel settings from fk kernel manager & upload it here
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] esszett:
Since I don't have any GApps installed, I don't have the Play Store and therefore no FrancoKernel Manager - I use the FrancoKernel in the default settings. I use Magisk, yes, but only for Root and the MIUI camera. No further modules installed.

But I have made some optimizations in the system. The extreme battery saving mode is permanently on (the automatic mode is deactivated) and except for a few apps (Messengers, SMS, Phone, Mail, OSMand etc.) all apps are "limited" in background activity. So they don't act permanently in the background if I don't use them actively. In addition, I have all apps in "Browser" mode in the thermal mode settings (it's a feature of unofficial LOS 16) with a few exceptions (cameras, VLC, etc.). At the moment this is a completely sufficient performance for everything I do.

The brightness sensor is deactivated and the screen brightness is fixed. ForceDoze also sends some sensors into deep sleep during doze. This squeezes out a few more minutes longer runtime ;)

I may be a little "old school", but for me my settings are the best proof that Android's default settings are simply not battery friendly. Why does an app have to run permanently in the background, even though I might use it once a day or only once a week? Bull****. Android uses so many resources to organize it and constantly reload apps that this "feature" is a no go for me. Flash memories are so fast these days that I can live with the fact that an app has to be loaded when I need it. I like to wait half a second for the app to start when it means that I can use my phone for a few days longer without having to panically look for a power outlet in between ;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sharma_Ji:
Because not all androids have flash storages.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] esszett:
The memory erroneously called ROM is nothing more than flash storage. Whether UFS or eMMC, it's always flash memory.

Or what else do you think is built in there? :confused:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sharma_Ji:
I think you meant UFS by flash storage.

Android has to deal with variety of hardware and many still have emmc in them, so the app launch times are not what you are saying in those smartphones.

Even gmail might take up to 2 seconds to open on low end hardware.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] esszett:
No, I mean flash memory in general. No matter if UFS or eMMC. I know that eMMC is slower than UFS, but I come from a time when you started programs on your PC from HDD and had to wait more than a minute ;)

I never said that Android shouldn't keep apps in memory. But I'd like to easily decide for myself which apps are allowed to do that. If I look at the battery consumption in an unoptimized Android system, I see that even apps that haven't been used for quite some time appear there as consumers. If I deliberately close an app and throw it out of the app history, I don't want it to be kept in memory by Android and suck power from the battery. A single app may not need much power for this Android behavior, but with 30 apps that are rarely used, that little adds up to a large amount of completely meaningless energy consumed.

I think it's really crazy/annoying when the operating system thinks it knows better than I do what's appropriate for me. And the fact that it nannies me is a circumstance that I can hardly bear. I don't want to have to work against an operating system, but with it. That is my understanding of a good user experience.

But I also know that most people don't tolerate an even rarely used smartphone app taking a moment to load - and accepted that they have to charge their smartphone every single day. That's why Android acts the way it does.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] artmomeymi5:
i always do rule 80-20

with custom rom with thermal throttles 20 to 80 is just about 45m with stock charger white 18w 5v 2.5a

when in miui beta thermal throttling is not working and take time about 1h for charging 20 to 80.

Screen On Time is same result. imo, depends whats apps u run

so its 6hours from 80 till drop 20

while play game its 3-4hours (PUBGM, Fortnite, MLBangBang)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] ZanaGB:
Pretty dissapointed with the battery life

I use primarily only chrome and discord. brightness is always set to 50%, i'm using the official lineageOS built, with francokernel, with the battery optimizations enabled, CPU clusters underclocked to the second slowest speeds, half of the cores removed, and everything is restricted network access and notifications, except hangouts, discord, chrome.

and yet, all i can manage to get is 5 hours of SoT, maybe 6.5 if i'm lucky.

what am i doing wrong? or did i simply just get a faulty unit?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] esszett:
I don't think your device is faulty. Your settings seem to be ok.

50% brightness would not only be too bright for me, but it would also drain the battery quite quickly (on any device with lcd). Try to see if 20-30% might be enough for you! In any case, the reduction of the brightness brings a much longer battery life.

If you notice an increased consumption in standby, then also check if some apps in the background prevent your device from going into (deep) doze mode. You can check this with apps like GSM Battery or BetterBatteryStats.

Current stats of my device (new run with FrancoKernel R21, last LOS unofficial, brightness manually adjusted between 20 and 50% depending on ambient conditions):

Runtime: 3 days, 19 hours

Phone: 2:20

Screen: 8:40

Remaining battery: 33%
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] ZanaGB:
I think during the night there are no significant wake locks, but i'm definitely going to check those tools just to make sure. As for the brightness suggestion, given it's a large-ish phone it makes sense the display is one of the largest sources of drain. In moist of the situations i'm in 20 or 30 percent is too hard to read to me.

As an added precaution, I have just reflashed everything and moved to PE with it's default kernel, but with the LKT magisk plugin set to "battery" to see if things are any better. CPU clocks are stock, but i've disabled half of the cores once more. So far seems like with my usage i'm using about as much as i've been using this week.

I'll need to experiment further and see if i can find a balance. Once i can figure out how to make it last commuting back and to work for two days, i'll be happy
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] ZanaGB:
Good news! I've managed to get some improvements, about 40 minutes more using pixel experience, with it's default kernel, and LKT set on battery mode, with half the cores enabled at full speed. this may add up to a hour more total of SOT, stretching it to maybe 7.5h burning the entire battery.

Next steps will be going to xiaomi.eu rom, use the fastboot debloater, force doze through naptime, get malakas kernel + the build.prop, klt and force gpu render magisk modules, half the cores, and slight underclock. that ought to be almost the ultimate power saving settings i can manage according to the info i've found on these forums

How are you guys getting consistently 10 to 12 hours of SoT?

Also yeah, i got no battery stats yet but i'll need to find a way to get google play services to stay quiet for a bit.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] sireangelus:
You are under clocking. If you used your phone like 30 seconds every hour it would be fine, but instead you are making it work harder for longer instead of having it process as fast as it can for the briefest moment possible before turning back to idling, which I the most efficient way to use your power budget.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] ZanaGB:
I am aware of the race to sleep/halt principle. but that can only applied to things such as processing hdr photography or stuff like compressing and decompressing files. In my case, the phone is used during a set of time. the CPU will be used loading pictures and messages for about the same exact time every day. If anything, it would mean that theorically i can see less content per commute, but the power consumption ought to be lower ( since the start and end tims will be the same ). I also would have faith the SD845 has a higher IPC count than it's low power brethen the 625 and 660, which would theoricaly mean it'd still perform quicker AND spend less energy than those due to IPC gains alone.

i've had multiple tests and i can conclude 6h 30m is the most my phone and usage scenario will do, 7h flat if i allow the battery to go flat.

I said previously i'd post my findings with MIUI but i didn't because they were underwhelming, just shy of 5h 10m of SoT with considerable background drain ( even with naptime installed and debloating it via the ADB tools to remove applications and services, and restricting everything else that couldn't be removed. )

I'm using one last time the LineageOS 16 + 400~Mhz Underclock + 50% Cores + Naptime + LKT Battery profile to see if things improve at all. 57% of battery remaining with 3.5h SoT. As usual i'll post my findings at 38% ( as i tend to initiate a charge at 33% and 5% over that seems like a good margin ). But i may disable the core cut and undeclocking just for the hell of it and see if higher clocks do make a difference despite being on for nearly identical periods of time on your average work day. I will genuinely be pulling my hair off if i've spent years making my battery life and performance worse for underclocking
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sharma_Ji:
The newer generation processors are so efficient when compared to some older generations like sd820, bcoz they are able to do more in less Power (watts). So by under clocking, you are in turn making like older generations, which will always be less efficient, if you are using your phone regularly.

I'm trying this stuff from years, but nothing helps.

If you want you can try some tweaks, like disabling touch boost and using a governor which do not ramps up the cpu clocks that fastly.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] ZanaGB:
I will need to try that last option. It's the last thing i'm possibly left to test

i did my last test with everything i could add to save battery AND went back to lineage. I got results roughly in line to how they were the first time i tested on LOS.

The abnormal Play services usage may be due to having set the phone as a new unit for the nth time. But every other rom/kernel combination i tested was done by charging the phone fully, installing the rom, then doing the configuration right after the first boot was completed and the usb power unplugged.

At least one can start drawing conclusions now. Said conclusion being i have no idea how anyone has managed to do 12 hours of SoT with 4 of those hours being gaming (given how with a non gaming scenario i can barely get to 6h before reaching 1/3rd of the battery)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] AliNT77:
what's the manufacturer of your phone's display? Tianma panels are the most efficient ones and the phones equipped with them have the longest battery life...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] ZanaGB:
And how does one do that? I mean there is probably some adb polling command but I can't see to find a way to spew a list of the hardware involved.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] sohilj23:
What am I doing wrong? I remember my Sot used to be great but recently I can't get anything above 7 hours, Is it because of my brightness being over %90? Also, my standby is around 1 day and 4 hours.

Do you guys get these amazing results by using adaptive brightness?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] pepo930:
When I first got the device I would get 10 hours of SoT on MIUI 9 and Oreo.

Now I can't get more than 7 hours, this is a 30% drop.

Is this due to battery degradation or the new updates?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Narayanan21:
Miroom latest beta + arterkernel

I used to get 7hrs of SOT with 1-2hrs of pubg before. After started using arterkernel it has drastically improved :D

whats the screen on time without lkt module? and whats the battery and cpu temperature with RR and which vendor did u use? :cowboy:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] LazarusM:
...

I'm on lineage and get about 10-12 hours of sot regularly, includes a lot of youtube(5-8 hours) some gaming on occasion (no estimate here), spotify playback(3-6hrs) and general phone usage(reddit, phone calls, messaging, surfing) for 3-4hrs. All this and my phone has about 2-4 percent in the tank.

I haven't touched anything related to power, just as it comes with lineage. Background drain somewhere 1-2 percent overnight.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sisux:
Very low SOT

Hi! First time posting here. First of all sorry for my English, I'm from Argentina.

Got my poco about a week ago, and I noticed very low SOT. Getting less than 6 hours and sometimes les than 4:30.

What should I do? Warranty is not an option because I bought it in Paraguay. Thank you!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] LazarusM:
Sounds like you got a bad battery or a bad install of os. Try reflashing(clean of course).

Also, can you post a screenshot of your battery usage tab? Include one that also has your connections displayed.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sisux:
First of all thank you! Got this after a factory reset. Still low for the use i think.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Deadman26:

I never get how do you guys manage to get all that 9-10hrs SOT. Do you cripple all the smart out of your smart-phone? I tried changing roms, changing kernels, tweaking, but the best I could get is 6hrs, and that's the best, usually it's 5:00, 5:30hrs... I have data enabled all the time, WiFi when there is one, sync on, and 10-15 apps, no games, and yet, 48hrs powered on, and 5-6hrs SOT is what I get...

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] abhishek943:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] pra300:
Location, Data, Contact sync these are draining your battery. Higher brightness (if you use phone outdoors for longer periods) will also drain battery quicker.

I disable all of these when not needed.

Usually get 8:30 hrs of SOT on 4G data, mostly social media apps and youtube. No games.

On Wifi easily touches 10 hrs SOT!

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] GreenParr0t:
Facebook drains a lot of battery in the background, try putting those draining apps in battery mode (settings > installed apps >Facebook > batterysaver > choose one of the more powerful saving modes.) This might delay incoming messages though.

I'm on 10.3.5 stable and even though something is keeping the phone awake 100% I haven't been able to find out what is causing it. I used bbs but it detected no partial wake locks whatsoever and I kind of accept I have to live with it. I get around 7h screen on time in a 16h day with it being 2h of gaming (darkness rises) and the rest being social media, Netflix, YouTube etc.

I wonder, are my results good? Did anyone find a solution to the phone being constantly awake?

My F1 is 9 months old. I use unofficial LOS16 with franco kernel. I am currently on vacation at the seaside and spend a lot of time outside and in the sun, so (auto)brightness is almost always on max.

And i think that's pretty good. :)
