Realme X2 Ultimate Charging Speed Test - VOOC vs Havoc vs Lineage OS - Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion

OK, if charging speed is one of your deciding factor, to choose between Stock Realme or Custom Roms?
Then you are welcome to the Ultimate Realme X2 Charging Test....
First, The Rules of the Test.
These test were carried out on the same device after two days of use and loaded up to 100 user apps.
The same Rom temperature was maintained (Standard Room Temperature)
The same charger of course (30watts VOOC)
And we recorded the each with screen recorders that can record when screen is off. P
Phone was used it it went off and allowed to cool down a bit to about 32°C before been powered on and plugged in.
Airplane mode was activated to avoid apps waking phone up.
Charging was checked at 5, 10,15,20,30,40, 50mins, right after the hour mark and when the phone was fully charged.
AFTER 2 MINUTES

Temperature rise on Stock Color OS was quite high, higher than LOS and Havoc.
LOS took the early lead and maintained the lowest temperature and that's impressive.
Havoc supplies the most charging current at this point so, I expect it to possibly take the lead later it it continues to do so.
AFTER 5 MINUTES
View attachment 4999581
I turned on the ACa bit (like 3 mins) due to the quick temperature rise on REALME VOOC so yes, I am biased about the powerful VOOC charge but that still that didn't give it the lead after 5 minutes.
As I earlier predicted, Havoc took a slide after 5 mins and they all have similar temperatures now.
AFTER 10 MINUTES
View attachment 4999583
LOS retook a slight lead Over Havoc and managed to also maintain a slightly lower temperature than Havoc. VOOC is starting to slack. The custom Roms are now pulling away.
AFTER 15 MINUTES
View attachment 4999585
IT is now clear that there is no Way Stock Color 6.1 VOOC Charging is going to win this one.
This same pattern was maintained through out till 90% where things slowed down drastically.
Havoc won with 1hr 17mins.
Somehow VOOC jumped passed LOS 16 to finish 2nd in 1hr 23mins and LOS 16 finally hit 100 after 1hr 30mins. But if you don't charge phone to 100% then VOOC Came last.

Xperia battery problem: C help me

I have a problem and not just any ... now he writes about what's going on.
I absorb all of the batteries within 12 hours no matter what happens I read lots ofposts on the web but I was a strange coincidence after charging the battery to get the complete 100% to 0% discharge is 12 max 13 hours on stanby . SpoonChargeprogram shows the temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and does not drop even though I put in, the place where the temperature was 16 degrees this has notdecreased (tried on two original batteries in which one is new), the CPU clock speed is low is exceeded 50% did not fall off so that it cuts processor. I have uploaded for fun original ROM, ROM, 826X, and now Venus 2.4 without changes ...I did Task29 >> ROM >> HARD RESET >> reset and still nothing. Yesterday I charge the batteries into the full and off Xperia today are no longer included the empty battery ... hands fall off. Is the fault of the electronics in the middle? and what you can do about it. Has anyone had similar? Please help
Sorry for my english is not very good

Charging Overheats phone

Hi,
On 2 occasions now I have charged my Note (Eyebee's Rocket Rom V12) and it gets very hot.
What seems to happen is it indicates charging, does not increase the charge percentage and the battery and phone get so hot I placed it in the firdge. It got to 64 degrees centergrade just now, last time this happened was 70 degrees C plus. Am afraid this will damage phone.
Has only happened twice, anyone know why charging (with official cable and charger) would do this?
Cheers
Worked it out, bearly had time amongst reading through all the posts of help lol
The Weatherzone App was using 75% cpu time, disabling stops the cpu load and phone much cooler, battery lasts longer now.
Cheers

[Q] Just bought my Moto X. Question about the first time charge.

So, the salesperson told me to fully use the current charge on the phone and then told me to charge it for 6 hours straight.
Now the 30% battery it had lasted for quite a while I fully discharged it, it turned off on its own.
Now it's been charging for 3 hours and it's already full. Should I leave it for the full 6 hours? or can I use it now?
I'm a bit anxious but I can wait if its better for the phone.
Thanks :laugh:
You're gonna get different answers with no scientific backing.
So here's the first: just do an extra 45 mins to an hour after it reaches 100%.
If you click the link in my sig and scroll to the bottom of that post you'll see my battery life which, is pretty decent.
Thanks

Thanks man
This is sheer non sense. Once the phone reaches 100 percent, the kernel cuts off the charging . What use would it be by charging it for another 45 hrs?

I second this. Charging batteries had specific charging instructions years ago, that no longer holds true. Just charge the phone and use it. it's not that big a deal.
It's just for calibrating the battery.
Let me just get this out of the way: most of the time it doesn't make a difference.
The only time it could (not always) make a difference is one of the following scenarios:
-phone sat for a long time while turned off (i.e before you purchase it)
-you hooked up your phone to the charger many times throughout one day and didn't allow it to hit 98-100% before you unplugged.
The battery has a chip built in [most lithium ion batteries have this because they are A) explosive and B) can kill you] which is responsable for a few things:
-"guessing" your current battery percentage based on the minimum and maximum recorded voltage value. For example let's assume a phone with a 5v battery shuts off at 3v. When that battery reaches 4v it will display 50% battery left.
-deciding what the shutoff voltage is. What I mean by this is let's say for example when your 5v battery reaches 3v at the end of the day, the chip decides it's time to shut off the phone and prompt you to charge it back to 5v
-constantly reading the the voltage in order to use that data to perform the decisions listed above
The voltage sensors in phones are, well, pretty bad due to the inherent space and power limitations. The voltage values swing back and forth between different values that are (sometimes) close to the actual value the battery is at. So the battery chip has to calculate an average based on all these voltage values. It then uses that data to do it's job, which is shutting down your phone when it needs to as well as display battery percentage.
So by leaving the phone in for a little longer after 100% once in a while, all you're doing is allowing the battery chip to collect more voltage readings in order to calculate the average more accurately. You're just doing it for the sake of sample size.
Realistically unless your battery is not calibrated, it doesn't really make a difference. But a phone that just came out of a sealed box is likely to need calibration depending on the manufacture date, or how long it "sat" for.

It may cut off charging..
But on my X (Dev for Verizon, stock and rooted), even after reaching 100%, the battery symbol still continues to show the "lightning bolt"/charging symbol. If I leave it connected to my Anker Astro 3, it continues to draw power until I unplug it.
@MrEndless, I agree with DaRkRhiNe and scorpion667. You're never going to get a straight answer.
Me, I ran mine down until the phone shut itself off, then charged it up to 100% and left it go over night and took it off the charger in the morning.
Once every few weeks, i do the same. Run it down until it shuts off and then put it on the charger and let it go until its been at 100% for a while. I never really say "xx minutes" or "xx hours" after 100%. It just depends on how long before I have to leave the house.

Xiaomi programmed obsolescence on battery

H, since I updated from miui 10 to miui 11 and even now that I have miui 12 I have noticed that the battery doesn't last as long as before. I state that since I purchased the phone (July 2019) I have always charged the battery in the best way trying to never go below 20% and trying not to go beyond 80% so I don't think a battery can lose more than 30% of its real capacity in less than a year of life. Starting to investigate I found that the battery does not charge at its real capacity i.e. 3300 mAh but at around 2200/2300 mAh. To verify all this I have carried out several tests and the easiest way to verify it is to look at the battery characteristics through the AIDA64 app (screenshot below). From these tests it seems that the device limits the real battery capacity by not allowing it to be charged to its maximum capacity. A reply to what I wrote can be found by looking at some system files that are located in /sys/class/power_supply/battery. In particular, looking at the file called charge_full (screenshot below) you can see how the value of the file is much lower than the real battery capacity. I hope someone more competent than I can understand how to solve this hateful problem and I also invite you to check the value to try to better understand the cause of this problem.
I'm using miuimix 12.0.2 stable and the capacity is not 3300, either.

And sorry i don't know how to post a picture, mine is 2943.
I know that batteries won't be forever and are always decreasing during the year but I think Xiaomi do a good job. I have some devices from 4 years ago and they reduced their batteries just a little. In the case of Mi 9 I have it since March 2019 and my battery still being the same. I charge it from 10-25% to 100% just some times I charge it until 80-90%, maybe every month I let it to 0% I wait for a while and charge it again to 100%.

From the photo you posted it doesn't seem that your battery is fully charged .. we have done other research and we have discovered that most likely Xiaomi has inserted in the kernel a sort of programmed obsolescence on the battery.
Can you disclose some of the research you done on the kernel it seems interesting. I have checked with Aida64 my battery before and it never charges to 3300 even if you leave the phone plugged in the value will keep increasing but once you plug it out it drops...still getting about 5 hrs sot so not bad...I wonder if you change that value in the full charger screen you posted what will happen?
"From these tests it seems that the device limits the real battery capacity by not allowing it to be charged to its maximum capacity. "
Actually it's better for battery life longterm to keep the device in the middle - never 0, never 100
I've certainly lost no battery life in the year + I've had the Mi 9
You are doing a good job of using the phone in the 20 to 80% range. But do you charge it at the lowest possible temperature? Temperature is a battery's worst enemy. Wireless charging is a joke. It's a glued heater in the battery.
I for instance, almost all the times charge it in front a mini fan. With this I can charge it 5ºC below normal temp charge.
And like @cezikos said, use quickcharge only on emergencies. Use at max a 1.5Amps charger. Quick charge is a marketing thing. The chemistry of the batteries are almost the same in this 10 years.
Mi mi9 have one year and the battery is 100%.
The important thing that you should precise is a type of charger that you are using. Do you use Quick Charge? If Yes, then battery capacity will be dramatically degrated. I use 5V 0.5-1.5A charger, it depends how fast I need to charge the Phone.
The next thing is a battery temperature, not Only while charging the Phone but also when you are using it. I`m using CPU Monitor and it's overlay to see the battery temp, you can also configure alerts when battery is starting to overheat.
Heavy Gaming decreases the life of the battery, there are a lot of variables that you have to cobsider, not only "programmed obsolescence"
I had the same problem. Hopefully the battery could make 3 hours of screen, the strange thing was that suddenly it began to last very little, and I was with that problem for a couple of weeks, so I decided to calibrate the battery hoping to have some results and now the battery lasted again approximately 7 hours of screen. Try to make the battery run out from 100% to 0%. The system will not let you start because it calculates that it has no battery, so what I did was leave it in recovery mode and with the screen always active, until it turns off completely, then with a 5V 1A charger. With the phone turned off, charge it until it reaches 100%. I did it three times and the battery was back to the way it was before. You could try to do the same and I hope you can solve that problem.
Sorry for bad English
I tested, I put the phone to play videos until it turned off. In 1% I cleared battery stats.
Then plugged the charger and entered the TWRP and unplugged. Put the backlight to maximum, and the phone stayed on more than an hour!
Then I plugged the charger 1.5A and let it charge to max.
It worked, now the phone has a steady discharge, not discharge 100% to 80 in an hour.
I will do this procedure from time to time. not the best for the battery, but is needed in mi9...
It's an absurd that this problem exists in 2020, my galaxy S2 don't have such harsh problems with something so simple and basic like battery management!
Battery on my Mi9 (mildly used in one year) lost 500 mAh.
Confirmed, with this trick, in doing it ONE time, I have the phone running well again, more than 8h screen on.
0.5 discharge in sleep.

Thanks! I just don't know how to clean the battery status...
You will need root.
Then are several apps that can do it. Like l speed or adiutor.
And now again confirming, in one month the phone is completely lost regarding battery again, just 3h SOT from 80 to 20. There's some pretty **** up code regarding battery in xiaomi android.
I have no problems at all using it since release.
newest xiaomi eu.
I also have problems with battery drain...
Hello guys, just want to share with you a little trick that just helped me get better SoT. First of all, I just want to mention that I'm on the newest xiaomi.eu rom (20.8.13) and that AccuBattery is showing that my battery is at 2500mAh estimated capacity. (That might be different in reality, because it's only after one charging, so don't believe it that much). Lately I noticed a significant drain while the phone was idle (screen turned off). It was draining like 1-2% every hour and I could barely get over 5h SoT. So I investigated a little bit, and found a solution on reddit. The thing was that I had many apps on autostart. If you want to check them and turn it off then open Settings > type 'autostart' in the search bar > open it > 3 dots > show system apps > turn off every unnecessary app that you think don't need that option. I turned off every app, except: Gmail, GPay, Google Photos, Clock, Calendar, Bank app, Weather app and the app called 'safety system addon' - it might be called different because I'm not on english language on my phone. I left them on just in case to have notifications/synchronization, though i don't know if it's necessary. After that there was almost 0% idle drain over the day. Now I'm on 5h4m SoT and still have 25% of battery left. The result might be even better, cause I did this trick just today while my phone was on 90-85%.
Give it guys a try, hope it will improve your daily experience with Mi 9.
P.S. Let me know guys If I could turn off the before mentioned apps and still get notifications and sync from them.
Mine reports 2800mah, debloated with Szaki tool all autostart apps disabled also did factory reset after miui12 update.
Really sad how bad miui12 has turned for me. Im having way worse battery life compared to miui11 the idle is mostly the same its just the battery doesn't last as it used to last with miui11.

I can confirm this. AIDA64 said my battery was at 2550mah capacity when fully charged. I followed this procedure and now after being fully charged, it says 3125 mah, which is much better.
I'm curious about the screen on time now. Me happy. Thanks!

Question Slow charging with Google Photos backup enabled instead of Xiaomi's

Hello everybody.
I'm using MIUI 13 with Android 11. I used to fully charge my phone from 15-20% to 100% in about 90-100 minutes, back when we had Xiaomi's backup in the Gallery app. But since february, when Xiaomi disabled photos backup for my country (that was different in every zone of the world) and I was forced to use Google's, a full charge from 15-20% to 100, it's taking 120-150 minutes!!! It's ridiculous. I believe Google starts creating a backup when I start charning the phone, but even after the backup was created, which takes about 15-20 minutes, the charging is still extremely slow. I'm charging my phone right now. It's been 1 hour and 23 minutes and it went from 15 to 47%. Before the Google Photos change, by this time, the battery was aroud 85-90%. So the charging speed it's like half than it was before.
I wouldn't like to stop using Google Photo's backup altogether but this charging time it's ridiculous.. Anybody else is having this issue??
I'm not using the original charger because if I do that, the battery drains considerably faster. I'm using a charger compatible with QC Fast Charge 3, which makes the phone shows a "Fast charge" message and it is like a middle speed charge. Full charge with this charger takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes, with the original charger it would take about 1 hour, and with a regular charger takes 3 hours minimum.
Thanks.
your battery has been degraded, maybe you should change your habits charging your phone.

That's ridiculous. The phone is only 5 months old and I'm charging it every 3 or 4 days.
I disabled the backup from Google Photos, I only gave Google Photos access to my Gallery app and now the charging is fast like before. The battery is suddenly not "degraded" anymore. How about that??
good for you then, that's just my guess assuming that you charge your phone until 100%

That's what I always did with my Redmi 4X for almost 5 years and it's still working, but battery barely last a day now. That myth about charging the phone to 85% maximum it's really stupid. 99% of people buys a new phone every 2-3 years tops anyway. Why sacrifice your phone's autonomy for a little more battery longevity?? It's pointless.
