Screen on time - Xiaomi Redmi 5 Real Life Review

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Redmi 5 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

7.45 to 8 hours SOT (Always LTE , Moderate Brightness , Full Volume , Mostly YouTube Streaming , Browsing )

10.00 hours SOT (moderate usage, removed bloatware, low-medium brightness), amazingly good battery life!

About 8 hours of SOT
P.S. How can one debloat Rosy 5?

You can use apps like Lucky Patcher if you're rooted. If not, you can follow this tutorial - https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
I personally debloated my Redmi 5 with the tutorial, because I don't have root currently.

7-8 hours, about 4 of them are gaming, some anime watching and a bit of youtube and chrome

I have 2gb/16gb verient.
Lets start with charging-
redmi takes 2 hours from 0 to 100%. First 90% charged in 90 minutes.
Battery Backup- I got around 12:30 hours of Screen on time.
Usage- Browsing (Kiwi browser in night mode) and youtube most of the time. rest music and tried a game for 30 min (Honkai Impact 3rd) as game was lagging so i uninstalled it. Sync was on for 3-4 hours and location services was turned off.
Brightness- 40-50%
Data Usage- 70% wifi and 30% 4G/3G
Note- Those charging curves in the graph are from the pc as i was transfering some files and second time i was debloating the device. No Battery saving mode, No change for animations.

From what I've gathered; the SOT of this phone is great but...
What about stand-by time?
Can anyone tell me how much battery percentage the phone looses at night (~8 Hours)?
To me, anything beyond ~5% with 3G cellular data turned on (4G is overrated!) is unacceptable.

Without sync, wi-fi and cellular data, it drains 1% per 10 hours for me. With sync and cellular data/wi-fi, it would drain 3-4% per 10 hours.

Light use endurance

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Lenovo P2's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.

If you are a light user you will be getting more than 2 days battery life ✌

Just passed 10 hours of SOT with 34% left in the tank, from 1 day and 6 hours of usage. This phone made you forget when was the last time you charged it.

This phone just leaves other in the dust - when we consider battery life
Don't know what you expect with this question as there is a fine SOT thread for the phone. You get about 10-15 hours screen on time. You have to charge it around ones a week if you use the P2 one hour per day if you switch off messengers, google services, wifi, gps, bluetooth, data and set your screen to very dark auto mode the rest of the time . If you don't use it all you may have to charge it ones a month. I would call myself a light user so I attached the SOT of my current week. As you see with 70% of the energy of the battery I got 9 hours of SOT within one week.
I'm a really light user it seems. I get over a week of use out of one charge on the standard OS. My last phone only gave me 2 days using a light custom rom.
With 1-2 hours spotify per day and aprox 1-2 hours screen on time per day aaaaand 40-100 push messages (fb,whatsapp,discord,skype,messenger and and and) and some gaming 30 to 60 minutes per day, 2 sims active (lte & 3g) + bt (always connected to mii band 2) + nfc my battery lasts at least 3 days! Stock rom, android 7. No services deactivated. This phone is so frkn awesome ^^ have it since one year, going through the upgrade process (a6 to 7), never did a reset. Great device. First phone i'm using for more than 1 year haha

10hours with moderate use!
6 hours with heavy usage
8-9 Hours (Fb, whatsapp, youtube, xda, browser, no games)
4.5 - 7 hours over 1 - 1.5 days, mid-heavy to heavy use. Sorry, I'm kinda addicted.
I'm only getting 5 hours when my phone gets to 20%, so probably about 5.5 hours. I'm running xiaomi.eu with MIUI optimisation disabled in developer settings. I used to get up to 8 hours with my Mi6, so it's a little disappointing.
10hours With 4G And Watch Video And Use Telegram, Instagram, Hike, Browser And...
12Hours With WIFI And Same Things...

i would say something is not right either with that rom version or your actual battery... i get 5h SoT with 50% battery, wifi on, 2 sim active, auto brightness, moderate use (maybe 20-30 min daily gaming)...
2 days and 8 hours,not best but good. multirom stable 9.5
Getting 7-8 hours SoT with Mi Band always connected and app opened. Latest EU Stable
Great
Thats impressive!??
Ups,
Please delete this post.
Opps.. sorry brother.. my bad!?
My battery life on Miui Eu, 3~4 days, 4~5 hours SOT, 3% by night. Always similar.
https://youtu.be/Gz6oIqIw3N0
https://youtu.be/elA0nDuPuzc
I use old charger 0.7V, connected all night.

battery or software problem??

I am software version shown in ss
I just bought the phone and only getting sot 30 mins for 10% of battery consumption i got like 4 and half hour of sot for 73% battery consumption i thought x2 pro have around 8 hr sot help me it's frustrating
Well that calculates to more than 6h SOT, which isn't that unrealistic if you used 4g and max screen brightness all the time, but there might be something draining the battery. Check the usage details. I see you use something connected to bluetooth so that might be causing the issue.
Bro i was using the brightness at 27% and nothing was connected to the Bluetooth
I installed betterbatterystats (bbs) xda edition and gsam battery app with adb rights. So you can see the deep sleep with bbs and the times of dot/phone time/ect and which app use how many ampere.
In this charging time I get 4,5 hours dot with 40 hours phone is on. I have now 34%.
Debloating, netguard firewall, no energy saving, always 90 hz.
Also i am having fps dropping issue during online gaming like pubgm or codm
What should i do to get normal 60 fps as this phone has 855+ so i can get 60 fps normally
I'm having even worse SOT and I have the same realme ui version.
I'm not as much hardcore user as a lot of you and looking at 4k mah battery I thought that I will be getting at least 7h SOT.
I'm not playing any games, right now most of the time phone is connected to wifi. What should I do? Debloat my phone? Is it somehow dangerous for my software? Can i ever go back to normal version?
location services destroyes battery on this device
i disable it for one day just to see the difference and it went from 4 hours SOT to 6 hours plus
always talking full brightness wifi some 4g 90hz
and from 100% to 1%
You have like almost 30 hours of standby, and if you use always on display, then that's at least 30% on that. If you consider this then it doesn't look that bad. You do the math. The other guy's stats concern me more.
You will need to make some adjustments, battery can be excellent but you have to be realistic,
Check out App quick freeze and freeze the apps you don't use.
Dark mode,
AOD off,Screen light effects off,
You just got the phone,tinker with it a while to see,
Also battery will drain a lot when your setting up the first day

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I find the stand by drain right on par with my Note 10 Plus. It was fully charged at 7 PM last night and this morning at 6 AM was at 95%. I installed Nap Time by Francisco Franco with a couple of adb commands for the aggressive doze features.
Went to bed last night at 1am at 100% battery. No apps are running, i have a bixby routine that puts the phone into power saving mode while not in use over night. Woke up 7 hours later at 8am and the phone had gone down to 93%, so it has gone down 7% which is 1% percent every hour being lost. Looking at app usage nothing was running in the background this entire time. Had my device for 5 days now so has gone through learning stage. This is ridiculous standby drain, is anyone else having the same issue?
Yes my drain is also bad. Are you guys running Snapdragon or Exynos?
I am Exynos unfortunately.
Can any one try standby drain after installing naptime? Let us know if it helps reduce the drain.
I'm using Naptime and I think it does help with standby drain. it is in the par with note10 at around 6-7% over night.

Can you share your settings? Do you run naptime the entire day or schedule it only at night?

I run it all the timed. Here's a screen of my settings, I don't disable BT on doze as I have my Note connected to my Panasonic home phone.
For me it was much worse, about 3% per hour during sleep! I just deactivated VoLTE calls (and also the 5G just in case) and it's much better all of a sudden! Can you try this, maybe it's the same problem for you?

Motion smoothness is the culprit
I have been playing around with Note 20 Ultra (T-mobile carrier locked version - SM-N986U)
I turned off 5G (Connections --> Mobile Networks --> Network Mode --> Switched to LTE/3G/2G (auto connect)
But even with 5G off my battery drained this morning while only have google maps open 10% in 45 minutes!
All my apps that I frequently use I have gone one by one under battery usage and selected put app to sleep.
My power mode was at optimized with so I lowered it to Medium Power saving and that looks like it took care of it.
If I go back to Optimized but keep motion smoothness at standard then the phone seems to handle battery usage much better (this is all with sync on for email push).
It much more on par with my previous Razer Phone and closer to iPhone XR territory.
Amazing. Only discharges about 0.5% per hour. Thats with always on display turned on.

Wow..you could be the first use reporting this less standby drain..I have 1% per hour with Always on and 0.5% without Always on...any special tweaks you did to achieve this?

My mistake on this. My Always On Display is set to tap to wake only.
However to get best battery life possible with Always On Display set to be on full-time, turn off auto brightness, then you can manually set the brightness down the lowest setting.
That might get you down to 0.75% per hour, but I haven't tested that myself on this phone. However with my S10+ I did that and it helped a lot. Only downfall is you can't see Always On Display in bright sunlight. However indoors is usually still visible.
Got the phone (n20u exynos) yesterday at around 7:45 pm. It had 64 percent battery. Did the phone setup, sync and played around with dex. The phone got warm. Went to sleep at around 11:30 and the battery lasted me till today morning 6:30, with 2 hours sot. Don't feel its that bad. I also think it might improve further as it is still in the learning phase.
i avg .9-1.0% a hour with screen off over night..
Use Samsung Members app

if you're having an issue with battery drainage, report it to Samsung directly via Samsung Members app.
Snapdragon. Switch off wifi and normal powersaving mode with 5g still on.
7hrs sleep time, consumes battery 4%
I'm losing 4 % each to Google and Youtube, though the apps aren't running. I've forced them to sleep when not being used and hoping that will slow the drain. I'll have to wait a couple of days to see if that has helped.
About 4% for a 8.5 hours of sleeping, not bad [emoji6]View attachment 5097301

How do you know its 4%. i think its more. Also on a personal note Who uses Tinder bro? Get rid of that crap. Plenty better stuff out there. Not to offend everyone has their own taste, i just said it on a light note.

General Screen on Time (SOT) - Note 10 Pro Max

I am at over 9 hours SOT with more than 10% battery intact yet.
Mostly run at 60Hz, a fair trade off for that kinda SOT.
Mine was similar 9 hours and a half , but with 120hz
Wifi, data, bluetooth on, auto lighting, and was only consuming social media and youtube that day

That is incredibly good. I haven't gotten that kinda SOT with 120hz y let. My phone's continuously connected with a smartwatch as well. But even at 60Hz, the trade off is fair enough.

Can't say it's farily good...theoretically it should give more than 10 hrs at 60 Hz.

It all depends on the use, and the time you use it, for example, if you use it nonstop with social media with a 100% cycle charge, I think with 60hz it would last 10 hours minimum, but if you use it, let's say, 3 screen hours a day, your battery will be over in day two with 6 SOT, becasue the standby drains aswell

I agree, but at the end what matters is reasonably good SOT overall and no idle battery drain. If these two are ok, everyone will be happy.
I just got 5-6 hours SOT, i dont know what cause it. Maybe you can share tips how to get long SOT on redmi note 10 pro? Thanks before
BB belongs to personal use.
I i am more kinda light user and i have about 3 hrs SOT but 3 one charge is enought for me to run the phone for 3 days
Note 10 Pro (Indian, 128GB)
Dark Mode ON
Data ON
120 hertz ON
Battery Saver OFF
Bluetooth OFF
Location ON
Sync ON
AOD ON (10 seconds)
Brightness ≤ 25%
Orientation Locked (Portrait)
Single SIM, 128GB SD Card
Lite-Normal usage, No gaming and Intensive work
Number of Apps: 107 (Play Store included some system apps as well)
Battery life is really wonderful
Heavy Usage: 6-7 hrs
Normal Usage: 8-10 hrs
Lite Usage: 10-12 hrs
Idle Battery Drain: 1-6% for 7hrs night (observed only once)
(Sorry the SS is dull and dim because I had enabled the option "Adjust text and background automatically" in Display settings, turning OFF later fixed SS)
This phone is dha bomb! Crosses 9hr SOT easy with 120Hz on with 5-7% still left.
P.S: AOD turned off, don't like that feature until LTPO displays are the norm anyways.
Hi everyone.
7h 30m on 120hz
2+ days of comfy, normal use, with high brightness, etc.
(Pixel Experience, will test on 60hz next)
I get a max of 3 hours sot with 120hz and a 80% of battery in the morning. After 2 hours and 45 minutes of screen i have 20% left
8h 45m
120 mHz, light theme, mostly high brightness. Pixel Exp.

Which tweaks?
I use tasker to UNDERCLOCK the CPU cores, but yet still keep it at 120hz, it's still smooth, and Greenify to hibernate unused background apps tasker and Greenify work very well together
