Getting less SOT on a brand new Redmi Note 9 pro

Hey people!

After reading this thread and looking at 2hat other people had to share, I wanted to know if my Redmi Note 9 pro is doing good or below average. I purchased it a week ago and was getting 10hr of sot with a total 'since last charge' time of 24hr with light usage, mostly camera, Facebook insta YouTube and some COD. Now the battery time has reduced a lot considering the fact that this device is just a week old. Now the latest I got was around 8 & a half hour of SOT with the 'since last charge' time of 12hr only but this was mostly heavy usage with 3 hr of COD, 1hr of asphalt 8, and the usual stuff like FB, insta, WhatsApp etc.

I want to know what I'm doing wrong because I have seen people getting 2d on a single charge with 10 hr+ sot.

(PS I keep my location, data and WiFi on all the time)

Honestly, you ask if that is "normal" that you got a SOT of 8 hours with 4 (FOUR!) ours of playing games on an almost 6,8" phone?

No, that ISN'T normal. That is MORE than normal, compared to other devices out there many of them won't get 4 hours gaming of grafic intense games, or after these 4 hours battery would be empty) ??

Yes, I am also able to get SOT of 12 hours or more and 1,5 days without charge. But then I haven't played games, only using it for WhatsApp, browsing and listen some music.

And display always on automatic brightness.

But gaming is the most battery sucking thing you can do with your device.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] mnauman8:
No bro on miui stock firmware
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] blowy666:
On the screenshot you've posted there is still 43% of battery left. So when I calculate, you came on a SOT of round about 9-10 hours and over 2 days without a charge.

It's hard to understand when you say you've expected more from your device then?

I think 2 days and around 10 hours SOT is a good thing... ?

By the way, you haven't wrote what you did with your phone during the time since last charge. Only that it was connected with your mi band.

Redmi note 9 pro battery drainage issue

Hey guys

The battery draining issue is getting worse day by day. Now according to the recent most use, with only WiFi on and everything else (location, Bluetooth and mobile data off) I got 7 hours and 20 min of sot. The history is as follows.

-unpluged my mobile from 100 % charge 13hrs ago

-played COD on WiFi for 3 hours and 40 mins

-played asphalt 8 on WiFi for 1 hour and 9 mins

-used camera for 15 mins

-rest of the usage included facebook, YouTube Vance's, WhatsApp etc

-currently I have 19% charge left

In my opinion this is less time for 5000mah battery considering the fact that this mobile is hardly 2 weeks old.

*For some reason I don't use facebook much (only used it for 15 mins and it shows that it did 20% of the drainage)

Kindly lemme know if It is ok considering the usage or am I doing something wrong or do I have a faulty device. Any and all help will be extremely appreciated.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] blowy666:
Lol...sorry, but meanwhile I have the feeling you are kidding us when you seriously talk about an ISSUE when you play 5 hours of cpu hungry games on your phone, have a runtime from over 14 hours, with 19 percent left...

What would you like to hear/read here now?

That your phone should be able to let you play games for 20 hours and you will have still 60 percent battery left?

Show me an device that lasts 14 hours while you have played 5 hours on it. I'm really interested on those device... ?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] babar J baig:
Thanks for the reply Blowy but mate easy on the Savage lol. But seriously any idea on why Facebook is using that much battery with such little usage?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] blowy666:
No for real, I'm interested what your expectations would be about battery life of the phone?

I made a test few days ago cause I wondered how long the battery would last when screen is on all the time. With moderate using like browsing through the web, watching some vids on YouTube, round about 30 minutes phone call, mails on push and some whatsapp messages, I got nearly 15hours of pure SOT.

And I'm sure that gaming would pull the battery "little" bit more than watching YouTube ?

EDIT: Have read several times from users that the Facebook app can suck lot of energy, don't know why. So they prefer using facebook on the browser or using a 3rd party facebook app.

Are you on latest version of fb?

Have you tried to clear cache and probably data of the app?

Or to reinstall it?

EDIT 2: Look for "Facebook app drains battery" on Google...seems really to be a well known issue

Personal I can't say, cause I don't use Facebook any more for about 2 years or so now ?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] babar J baig:
Do you have the note 9 pro as well?

Yeah that pretty much explains everything, now I guess I will do a test run of charging it all the way to 100% and than will see how much sot and standby time I get WITHOUT running any games. Hopefully that'll make everything crystal clear
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] aygross1929:
Facebook is a crazy battery drainer.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] pecholino:
My first charge since I bought the phone (curtana).

Miui V11.0.10.0 slightly debloated.

14h SoT, 3days standby
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] babar J baig:
Apologies if I'm being persistent here, but I did some testing consider what Blowy666 suggested.

I still got 8hrs of sot over a period of 24hrs with NO GAMING at all. All I did was use social media some YouTube and browsing (maybe used camera for a while) that is with the battery saver turned on.

Ps I have very bad reception in my area and the signals keep dropping, this might be an issue but I'm not sure.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] blowy666:
Well, I made a little test yesterday and today and forced my device to keep display on all the time. Set to automatic brightness, but have raised minimal brightness a bit with customiuizer app. Have used my device normally yesterday, means surfing, using whatsapp, getting mails via push, watching some vids with YouTube vanced. Over night display was all time on, too. The whole time WIFI was activated.

I just wanted to know how much screen-on-time was possible with average usage.

I think the result is more than okay ?

Cause there were still 9% left, I guess 1,5 hours more would have been possible, but I had to charge cause I needed my device today without the chance to charge it ?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] ascender13:
Since the latest update the battery usage page is hopeless
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] pijas82:
Any app to see sot? With no adds...

I think I will flash a custom rom, 6 years with oneplus and now Miui.....
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] MaurixMystic:
what rom are you using? , and at what brightness level do you use the device?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] blowy666:
Automatically brightness as written in my post.

Firmware is the Xiaomi.eu 11.0.10.0
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] master76rz:
Last full charge was exatcly 13:45, 30aug

So after i use phone for exactly 3:33h my battery droped to 81(u can see the screenshots)

Beacuse i wanna change my laptop i had to transfer my data to pc**

So i used my phone as a flash?

Thats why u saw less than 10 % extra charge in the graph(and also wrong last charge)(during the transfering data my phone screen my off)

But my usage

2sim activated all time(both lock to 3g)

Miui 11.0.10 stable global

Auto Brightness(mostly between 40 to 60)(indoor all the time)

Wifi all the time

Bullutooth&sync & battery saver were off all time

No dark mode(light mode?)

My usage

Utube(almost 480p quality(bad connection))(half speaker half handsfree)

Telegram

I used turbo vpn lite for every seconds of using telegram and utube)(living in iran)

Whatsapp

Instagram(mostly watching video with speaker)

40min music in background(70 % speaker sound )

Chrome browsing

30 min in call

Thats it

If u r not playing game and using the phone indoor u can easily reach +14h

Srry i know my test is compermised by that 8 % extra charge,so i finish the test in 9 %

Also srry for bad english:)

Enjoy the phone(laggy phone"""good battery)

Is this normal for the battery at 100% charged to decline too like here to 80%, with usage as shown in the attachment?

I get approx 1 hour SOT per 10% decline...is that fine. With brightness at 60% fixed. Location always ON?

Why do I have a different kind of a battery usage graph, not displaying last charge, estimated time etc? Cause am on a debloated 11.0.5??

Why doesn't my SIM get's activated?

Why does my SD card appears on each reboot or when I remount and mount it, despite CXT File manager has android access allowed?

Thanks.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] Mike2030:
Hi there [MENTION=2160126]blowy666[/MENTION],

Care to reply with your expert opinion.

Is this normal for the battery at 100% charged to decline too like here to 80%, with usage as shown in the attachment?

I get approx 1 hour SOT per 10% decline...is that fine. With brightness at 60% fixed. Location always ON?

Why do I have a different kind of a battery usage graph UNLIKE YOURS, not displaying last charge, estimated time etc? Cause am on a debloated 11.0.5??

Why doesn't my SIM get's activated?

Why does my SD card appears on each reboot or when I remount and mount it, despite CXT File manager has android access allowed?

Care to recommend any add free fonts and weather app?

Thanks.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] blowy666:
Well, seems you have the new battery usage graph. Xiaomi has changed that graph a few weeks ago, on the new one you can't see the time since last charging, only the running time for the last 24 hours as far as I know.

Gladly I still have the old grap style on my mobile.

One app I know that will show you usage time since last charge is "gsam battery monitor".

Well, guess when you use your mobile during that SOD time, 10% loss per hour is an average result.

Coildnbe more, could be less, depends WHAT you are doing with your device in this time.

Yeah, it's normal that the sd card is testing for errors on every reboot of the device, if that is what you mean.

Your SIM doesn't become activated?

What exactly do you mean? That you can't do and receive calls?

By the way, why two times the same post and additionally a PM?!
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] Mike2030:
Thanks for replying.

1. Am still on MIUI 11.0.5, but some new minor updates approx 130 MB in size.

2. In Settings > Mi Account > Devices > Note 9 Pro > SIM card > displays SIM card isn't installed or activated?

I can of course receive make any calls.

3. Would formatting the Sandisk SD card on a laptop to fat32 resolve the issue?

4. Would making note of the serial #s of SIM card help activate on Mi Cloud?

5. Does a reboot or attaching to lap via usb, powering off, ejecting the SIM tray reset the SOT?

6. I use Accubatt Pro......is that a decent app IYPO?

7. An image if applied as a wallpaper, doesn't display clock on lock screen and on a reboot the default wallpaper shows for a few secs....anyways to integrate an image/custom wallpaper to the theme engine?

8. Dual SIMs, decrease SOT?.....On stock I use to get 13 hrs SOT with the same apps, on the debloated MIUI 11.0.5 not more than 9 hrs.

9. The new battery usage graph seems buggy?

Apologize for the dual posts and PM.

I just wanna share mine battery usage.

Moderate everyday use. I always have wifi, bluetooth and mobile data turned ON.

SoT is 5 hours after almost 5 days of use
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] fever7nova:
joyeuse

Pixel Experience Plus + Yuki Kernel + Fde.ai = 14,5h SOT :o WiFi/LTE, NFC always on. Sometimes GPS, BT. Quite satisfying
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] sauron3256:
Using the Joyeuse model and xiaomi.eu 11.0.7 my usage exceeds one day, so I will post the following. Admittedly not a lot of youtube video, but much usage of chatting apps (viber and messenger mostly with lots of voice chatting and image/video sharing. Due to bad mobile coverage, the phone's mostly been on VoWifi with airplane mode activated. When on the move, all antennae are enabled and social apps are always active due to work related reasons.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] twistyplain:
Yes you're doing something wrong... You're playing A LOT of games and expecting same battery life as someone whose heaviest use is social networking and occasional photos. Have realistic expectations.

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

People you've got to understand that playing 4+ hours of 3d games is not considered "average usage". You're driving the phone's soc at near full speed for many hours. Your battery endurance cannot be compared to someone who played no 3d games. If you use the phone the way you do, then you're killing battery life. Please don't ask about what you're doing different when it's clear as day.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] twistyplain:
When my phone was still new, even before I unlocked bootloader, i got 15 hours sot several times during that week I was waiting to unlock bootloader. I'm sure i can get it even now but I'm not going to try because it's enough to know that I can. My phone is 1 month old now running miui eu 11.0.11. Soon I'm going to install MiuiMix 11.0.11 because it supposedly has better battery life that eu. This phone has awesome battery endurance and for once in my life I can leave home for work with 40% charge and not bother carrying my charger. It's that good.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] twistyplain:
Battery depletion is not linear. It runs out quicker when it's full but discharge rate reduces as the percentage goes down. That's why partial battery endurance tests cannot be an accurate reflection of how your battery is performing. Do a full test.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] twistyplain:
The overnight period cannot be considered normal usage because the auto brightness took brightness to minimum and you were not using the phone. But daytime usage was normal. If you had been actively using the phone your SoT could have been around 15 hours.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] twistyplain:
I have a few but gsam battery monitor is so far ahead that I can't recommend anything else. It doesn't have any useless features and looks so simple (but not ugly) that you cannot imagine such power is hidden behind it. I love the fact that you can disable ads in the settings menu from the official play store version. Try it and you'll love it... If you can grant it root permission. Or know how to work adb commands.

*Edit: Typo corrected.

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] twistyplain:
Okay, so I don't actively do battery endurance tests on my phone but I had to because I've been running a new rom for a while now. I was previously on miui eu 11.0.11 but have been running MiuiMix 11.0.11 with agni custom kernel for just over a week now.

Two days ago my phone accidentally charged to 100% (I don't usually let it go beyond 90%) so this battery test just set itself up. Admittedly, I do not play games and don't have Facebook, twitter, or instagram on my phone.

I use my phone on full time 4G and location is always on. My typical usage during this charge was a lot of forum action on brave, some photos and videos as I am testing some gcam versions, and general web browsing with about one hour of youtube. (4g). Also quite a bit of telegram usage. Here are my results. The system SoT is lower than both franco kernel manager and gsam so I conclude that the system somehow didn't get the correct usage data. I hope all these screenshots upload on my choppy 4g connection.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif] twistyplain:
More screen on time. This time I reached 17+ hours. I won't post any more tests because it's clear how far we can go on redmi note 9s.

PS: For anyone who plays 3d games, records videos for hours, or runs any kind of battery endurance testing app, you cannot reach this level of SoT and don't ask why. Cheers.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] unL33T:
I've been watching a few videos on my Mogul and have noticed that I cannot seem to get the audio and video to match up quite right no matter what settings I use. Has anyone played around with the settings to get the best performance out of TCPMP on their mogul? What settings are you using?

Hope this hasn't been discussed before, I searched but found nothing useful.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] serfboreds:
Here's my settings and they work great. Go to Options-Video and set it to GDI.

Then go to Options-Settings-Select Page-Advanced then go to the Manual A/V offset +/- and type in "-300" without the quotes.

That will make the lips sync with the sound.

Enjoy.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] unL33T:
Thanks! Definitely a lot better!

Curious, what does GDI stand for?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] serfboreds:
Graphics Device Interface.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] lgmayka:
Is GDI really the fastest choice on the Mogul? I had heard that until recently Raw FrameBuffer was the best choice, and that now with 6.1 DirectDraw is also good.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] serfboreds:
I think there is little difference between Raw FrameBuffer and GDI but have mine on GDI. I see a reduction in quality in DirectDraw as the Titan does not have the drivers to run it properly. There was quite a bit of discussion on this in one of the past two ROM threads. Try both and see what suits your needs best. These settings only affect TCPMP though.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] hurtem:
Awesome thanks for the settings! Does anyone know if this player plays wmv files? WHen I use the browser in TCMP player WMV files do not show, any ideas?
