battery life and performance - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

Am I the only one who feel that scurity patches after August patch compromised performane and battery life?
And if so, is it normal to get back to august patch with locked bootloader and no root?

I used before to have more than 10 hrs SOT and now it's just 8 hours

November Firmware.

Yes i can confirm that the November patch definitely compromised the battery life. Im getting like 1+ hour less SoT after the patch... SoT is different for everyone depending on what your usage is cannot compare SoTs between 2 people...

Personally I don't see any changes in terms of battery life. Three days usage and approximately 9-10h SoT is what I usually get since I bought the device in September.

better check the cpu usage time between each frequency
maybe they did something to the kernel

Perfectly fine on my side. I think only the Mi A2 nonlite has/had CPU frequency problems.

It's "calculated" by your usage since the last charge. This calculation is rather imprecise, just ignore it.

I think I have to do hard reset but will wait to know what is the difference in the 2nd November security patch that I delivered yesterday xD

Whats wrong with multi touch? I installed a multitouch testing app on mine and it registers 10 fingers with no issues at all when I move them around and games work perfectly?
Hi all,
Quite noob on Pixel 2 XL, just rooted it with Magisk one month ago; so I'm still on February image.
How can I update to April image without losing anything, please? (Already downloaded the image, btw)
(Directly or with Skipsoft tollkit)
Thanks a lot!

Just follow the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
1. Download the image and adb, twrp image and magisk zip
2. Flash the image without the -w parameter
3. Temporarily boot into twrp, flash the magisk zip and you're done, takes 5 minutes

What kind of issue? Screen not turning off when covered or screen not turning on when uncovered? Either way, I was on a call earlier and it turned on and off fine.

Screen not turning back on when you take the phone away from your ear during a call

I think it's too early to tell the impact of most of those changes in my usage so far. Fingerprint sensor response has improved for me.
The biggest thing I was looking forward to was all the mentions of battery life improvements. Unfortunately battery life doesn't appear to be any better but so far doesn't appear to be any worse. The February and March updates really hurt battery life.

No issue for me. I don't think that's a software issue. I think it's a hardware issue. The same thing happened on my Nexus 5X
I am on my second day of the April security patch and my battery life has gotten much worse. I got it launch day and I have always gotten 5-6 hours SoT for 18 hours off charge and still have 30% battery left. Yesterday I got 3.5 SoT for 18 hours and was at 4% when I plugged it in. I never had any adverse effect of battery life with the monthly patches until now. I havent factory reset since I bought the phone.

No. But we still see teaser posts that some whiz just discovered something that Google and Verizon simply don't know.
It's locked down tight on VZN models.
Have people been able to use the tethering module through magisk on the April update?
for me the initial install of April the battery life was better than March by far, but the next few days definitely doesn't seem much better, so pretty scary how quick the fall off was for the battery life fall off when looking the the battery stats pages. Touch responsiveness is much better, and generally the phone now feels like it should have been from the beginning.

Usually by the end of the day im left with about 15 -20%. Now im to 15% around 5 or 6PM. Battery definitely draining much faster
My battery life has gotten stupidly better. First day was close to 5 hours SOT with 50% battery left at 20 hours off charger(normally would have been 2-3 hour SOT pre April patch). Right now I'm at 2 hours SOT at 75% battery left with 11 hours off charger. Most of my SOT is games(Clash Royale, Final Fantasy Pocket Edition) so it's not like my usage is lite. Though personally I feel as if the patch has gotten my battery life back to how it was at launch before the first patch. I'm thinking some of those carrier optimizations were for Project Fi as that's what I have.
Has anyone updated their 2 XL with the March release of TWRP since the April update hasn't been released? Any issues?

Most twrp users did that the day the Google April update came out. As always, there are always going to be some users that have issues for whatever reason. However, from the majority of things I've read, most users, including myself, have had little to no issues with using twrp :good:

Android P DP4 Battery Life

Anyone that is running Android P DP 4, how is the battery life compared to Oreo? Since this is the final DP before the final release I expect it's probably pretty much final. I'm going to wait until final release to install it and I'm just wondering what to expect. Worse than Oreo? Same as Oreo? Better than Oreo?
4 hours SOT with 60 percent remaining. Mostly surfing and Twitter. About an hour of music playing via Bluetooth. I am happy, it's better than O, not huge better but significantly better.
I've been getting about 4 hours on a full charge to discharge. I noticed a significant drop from Security Patch December 2017 to February 2018. Every since then I've never seen above 5 hours. I used to get about 4-5 and still have 40% battery left. I didn't change anything or add any apps. Kinda stinks.

Sounds like my experience but mine was with the February, March and April updates. I was hoping Android P would fix it.
You two need to FDR your phones. You can chase this forever and never find it.
Actually, I would just flash the full factory image, if you are unlocked.

Agree 100%:good:
My battery went down prob an hours worth of SOT since DP3. Holding out for the final one as I still make it through the day but not nearly as good as it was. Still frustrating that I drop 10% with only like 15 min of SOT to start the day

Question OB1 Users, how is the battery life?

With OOS11 , The highest SOT im getting is 6.5 hours
How is the battery life in Android 12 OB1 ?
There is a hope for a good battery life on Android 12?
My battery life is noticeably better on OB1. I was getting about 6-7 hours SOT, but so far on OB1 I'm consistently getting over 8.

I haven't run into any of the issues I've read about, but then I've only been on it for like 5 days so far. The only issue I've encountered is my 3rd party alarm app isn't working in the mornings, but that happens to me every single time a major Android update comes out and they change how they do process management. Probably just a new setting I haven't found yet, and the built-in clock app works fine until then.
Not all apps are compatible with Android 12 yet
Mine is very good.
But that depends on your usage. If you don't put the phone down, ever, no battery, no phone will ever be good.
Seems good enough me, but still watching it for a while....
6 hours 30 mins when the battery remaining was 3% with similar usage, it totally depend on the usage.
Much better than Android 11

Question Any tips for improving idle battery drain?

Currently trying to squeeze as much battery life from my phone as I can. I'm running arter's kernel and screen on time is pretty good, according to accubattery my idle drain is 0.6% an hour which isn't bad to me by any means but at the moment I'm a little obsessed with improving battery life so any tips are appreciated!
ideally, anything below 0.8 is fine, you should not worry about the idle drain much. There are apps that would underclock the device but it would risk the performance and wake times. You can try that if you wish and see how that affects the device's performance to get to know if its actually worth it.

I considered switching to bluspark since it allows me to switch from schedutil to conservative but I don't know if there's any real world difference between the two in terms of standby drain.

This doesn't include the scenario with AOD enabled, right? I'm getting around 3% idle drain reported by FKM. OOS 11 rooted and with bluspark kernel. Does that sound bad?
Hey all
If I may jump the topic question: I'm on arter97 + derpfest latest + magisk. Today I got like 3h sot
I can't seem to figure out what's wrong... Does anyone know of a working version of bbs for this combo?

Hmm I never use aod. Do you mean 3% an hour? Id expect it to be lower than that but again I've never tester aod.

Yes, per hour. I had between 1.5 and 2% on my previous Realme X2 Pro, and now it's 2.5 to 3%, that's why this looks a bit too high.

install something like Better Battery Stats to see what is causing the drain.

Early A12 builds will hog more so cont do much for now. You can use it and see how that makes a difference for you.

No, when I said less than 1% I referred to idle at night time with AOD off when the device sleeps basically. With AOD 2-3% is fine. No need to restrict it further.

The only CSC I've seen that has published it so far is ORX (Slovakia)
Notify Update
After this update I lost access to Orange Egypt Band 41. I feel now every update samsung is deliberately sabotaging the phone to reduce its performance. And the update before that they removed the band control app.
EDIT: I was able to get B41 back by resetting APN and turning on and off both SIMs but i don't know if that was a bug or intended or what, but I don't trust samsung anymore.
For me, battery life finally got to an acceptable level after this update. Could be it's not just a security update, but even those are good to have.

Coming from a Poco X3 NFC with a 5160 mAh battery, I expected the A52s' 4500 mAh battery to last at least a full 24hrs, but on some days I barely got over 14 hours, which was hugely disappointing. Right now I'm at 20hrs, just over 4 hours of screen time and 35% still left, which is much better than before - even acceptable.

I don't do a lot of heavy things on my phone, Last charge I got 2 days 9 hours out of it with 7.5 hours sot. And thats with the S21FE rom installed at the moment. Mostly things I do are tiktok, play poker, internet stuff, play a 3d snooker game also and other light games... listen to music, lots of chat with whatsapp, messenger, and keeping up on things in telegram. I have a lot of apps in the deep sleep mode also.
