Hi everyone,
I'm facing some battery drain issue after the last update RMX1993EX_11.A.15: athe the moment my phone can barely achive 5h of SOT (screen on time) while before the update it could easly reach 8h or more.
On the official Realme forum I have read there are a lot of user with the same problem but no one solved. I would like to downgrade to the previous versione but I can't find a way.
I tried to manually set which apps can run in background but not even this helped.
Does anyone noticed the same problem?
I have the same version and I also have a lot of battery drain, with the older version I haven't.
I feel you Bro. I'm in the same condition and there is no way to downgrade. Realme suggested me to disable a lot of function but also in this way I can't solve the problem and so I'm waiting for a new update. Crossed fingers.
Before update my x2 had arround 10h SoT, now less than 6h... wtf?
I don't have the same issue, but try to disable dark mode and update Google services (often associated with battery drain):good:

I've tried to disable the dark mode but it seems that it doesn't affect so much battery, i also searched for possible battery drain issue due to the version of the play services installed on my device but i found nothing, i'll give a try to your suggest hoping will fix che issue.
Is very disappointing, arround 40% less of batery life since last update.

I've fully charged my phone but seems that disabling dark mode and updating google play services didn't helped.
Do you have the same version? How many SOT hours you can get ?
I have the same one and it can easily reach 9 hours
mine china rom no prob

Could you please tell me what is your version of Google play services ?

The last one possible at the moment 19.6.68.
I was evuating to install a previous one but I don't think it can really help. I also tried to reinstall the colorOS update via recevery but nothing changed.
Maybe it can help, mine is 19.6.29

Tried also this solution but nothing, in this case doesn't depend to google play services.
Does anyone has something different to test?
The only one solution is a new ColorOS version without battery drain bugs.
I've instaled the last update and the battery drain issue isnt' fixed, I would say that it is even worse.
The only way to achive more than 5h of SOT is to keep enabled the power saving and dark mode, limit all the possible app and don't use the phone (just kidding).
Does anyone know if it is possible to downgrade ?
The main problem is Always on Display. Turn it off! I moved from loosing 7-10% battery over night on my RMX1993 to 2% (with 4G data on) over night after I turned it off. Disable screen off gesture and use dark mode more often with auto adjust display brightness. Turn on smart battery saver on.
I still get around 9-10 hours SOT and two days on light heavy use.
With clock on screen locked ... I don't see all this drain ...

If I'm not wrong, according to your stats you can reach at most 5h of SOT
My phone is usually on idle and not used due to my job. But Im noticing extreme battery consumption even when Im not using it. Never had this issue with other phones. Last night I checked the batter before sleep and it was at 67% at 1 AM, today its 62% at 7 AM so there must be an issue because it should only drain 1 or 2 percents during idle.
In battery settings the top app using the battery is phone idle.
Im on xiaomi.eu 12.5.6 rom but I had the same issue with stop 12.5.3 so I dont think it's because of rom.
I had great battery life with my last phone which was poco x3 nfc with the same settings and apps so it's not because of any third party apps either.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
With AOSP ROMs, I even had worst experience when I installed one of the custom kernels because they somehow didn't put the phone into deep doze correctly. But yeah, the idle consumption is quite high - even on stock Kernel.
Currently I use HavocOS and its stock Kernel - and SuperFreeze (from F-Droid store) to freeze most apps right after screen lock. Idle consumption has dropped to 0.1-0.2%/h as a result. I made a thread some days ago regarding this topic... see here.
Thanks. Im gonna try your guide but it's not the most noob friendly guide I've seen
Just Kidding, thanks for your time.
Oh, my thread wasn't meant to be a guide... I did put it in "Question" like you did, but a mod seems to have moved the thread to "General"
My "solution" is only temporary - at least I hope there are still developers out there who value a low idle drain more than fast charging and benchmark numbers...

Sorry for the OT, could it be that the app. is called SuperFreezZ?
Have you noticed any good battery life gains with this app.?
Yeah, sorry, SuperFreezZ: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/superfreeze.tool.android/
For several months I had the problem that from a certain moment, the consumption at idle suddenly increased enormously (from 0.1-0.2 % to 2-3% per hour). Even if I manually forced all apps to stop, In Android's battery info "Android OS" and "Android System" showed up with double-digit percentages. I could only get the phone back to its previous behavior with a restart.
To date, however, it is not clear to me what triggered this. I suspected GCam for a while, then Osmand+, but I couldn't ever confirm that because the problem didn't start whenever I used those programs, just sometimes.
I never found a real solution for this, but SuperFreezZ did.
The best thing I've used for years now is Greenify, its hasn't received an update in more than a year but still works perfectly
Do we need root to use these apps? I remember using greenify before onmy older devices with root but havent used it for a while. Gonna see how much it drops tonight and then try to tweek some things and recheck it tomorrow night.
Weird thing is, I was getting an awesome battery life out of poco x3 nfc, could it be because of the cpu idle? Because that's the only thing that seems different between the 2 devices. (X3 even had an lcd which is supposedly less battery friendly)

Unfortunately, hardly anyone notices this because most users do exactly what the F3 was designed for: Playing games.
I came from a 2.5 years old F1 and it lasts easily longer than the F3 although it has a smaller battery and a LCD screen... The F3 behaves anything but fully developed. These latest high-end SOCs (870, 888) are really powerful, but unfortunately not equally power-efficient. That's the reason why I throttled the CPU and undervolted the GPU. This dropped the active drain from ~8 %/h to <5 %/h on my device and my usecases.

Yeah. I used to underclock the cpu on my old phones but I dont know about undervolting. wouldnt it cause issues? I just used 3c toolbox app to set a lower max clock and a lower min clock for cpu cores. I read somewhere that rooting xiaomi.eu rom breaks some functions so I havent rooted it yet. do you have any info on that?

As long you don't push too hard with undervolting, it works quite well. See attached image (it's not mine, but I have oriented to it).

Konabess doesn't need root, afaik. Extract the boot.img of your ROM and copy it into a folder of your device. Then use Konabess to modify the settings and repack it into a modified boot.img. This file you can flash with TWRP. No guarantee that it works for xiaomi.eu, but it works for AOSP (at least it worked for me).

I'm ont he same rom as you and let me explain my experience.
My battery has been insanely good. Even with heavy usage over a period of 4 hours, which included 1.5hrs of SoT and pandora playing though bluetooth all 4 of those hours with dolby and viper enabled. Was at 100 and dropped down to 94%. So It may be an app or setting that you have installed causing problems and draining battery. The only battery saver addition I have installed is Universal GMS doze. Idle time for me It takes me about 5 hours to drop down 1%.

Well if there is an app that is causing this, it should be shown in the battery settings. But the only thing that is eating up my battery is phone idle. So it might be a service or something. Im out of options right now unless I find a way to root this rom without facing new problems.... Worst thing with miui is that you cant do things like rooting as easy as other roms.
Btw, would you please tell me the settings and xiaomi.eu version you are on? Im on 12.5.6 stable and using 120hz + vivid color scheme and most of my apps are on blcok background activity except my messaging app. And Im losing battery on phone idle not the screen on time!
Ss below.(dropped from 92 to 82 woh only 30mins screen on time doing nothing but checking xda!) And 7hrs of those 9hrs I was asleep and the phone was on airplane mode + gps off!
You could try BBS or similar apps. Maybe it's an app which prevents the phone to go to deep doze (wakelocks).
BTW: MIUI sucks

I switch my screen refresh rate down to 60hz but since your phone is idle it really shouldn't come into play unless you have always on display or turn screen on for notifications.
Rooting this phone is amazingly easy. Takes like 5mins if that. My Mi 9 lite took longer to root then this phone.
As far as an app draining battery, It more then likely not it since you saying phone idle, which in the past people have said if you phone has problems with signal this can drain a battery. For me this has been a major issue. With AT&T service I would loose double the amount of battery over night (I play pandora through out the night when sleeping). Also if you have apps that are heavy internet usage (unsure where you at but things like facebook and messenger drain tons and yet don't register battery drain on most analytics. And since you using a xiaomi.eu rom I know alot of those bg services are disabled or removed.

Yeah thanks for the info. I used to root my devices easily by flashing magisk but it seems they have changed the method, though I found the method on a post on xiaomi.eu website and rooted my device.
Tried to lower cpu frequencies a little and use superfreez app. It seems better now but not as good as what you say...
Gonna play with settings a little bit more and wait for another xiaomi.eu stable update to see if it's a bug on this version.

Someone made a auto script for it, but you will have to reflash rom and factory reset data. You really shouldn't have to change cpu feqs. Also uploading a screenshot of my last 2 hours. I know its only 21min of SoT but also 2 hours off charger but playing pandora as well as some other app usage but still at 100%

Ah, ok... I thought you could load a separate boot.img - my fault, sorry!
Then you've to have root for Konabess...
Just to show what's possible with HavocOS 4.9 and 12.5.6 EEA firmware, see atached screenshot... It's with the stock kernel of HavocOS, but with the modifications I did mention here.
Running for almost 2 days
~8 hrs SOT (2 hrs of which with 120 Hz and 2 hrs of which with 100 % brightness, otherwise 60 Hz and brightness between 25 and 50 %) and still 50 % battery left.
Hello guys.
I had some issues with my Galaxy A70. It's lagging like hell while playing garena free fire, my device can handle the game without any issue but I Don't know why this happens.
The problem is when I play the game first 2-3 minutes game works fine but after 2-3 minutes game starts lagging phone slows down and touch sensitivity feels really heavy even game controls seems heavy I can't get fine movement because of this issue. And when I close the game phone seems so much slower it takes 10 seconds to open an app.
And while playing a game when I open the game control menu and close it, game works fine for 1-2 minutes and again it starts lagging. I hope someone here can help me with this issue. Any advice would be much appreciated
My device is not rooted and I'm on android 11 latest version.
Sorry for bad English
It called "thermal throttling".
Most smartphone will thermal throttle when the processor got too hot. Try lower your game setting. This can reduce the heat on the processor, and thus reduce the lag.

I accept your solution. but I'm already playing on lower settings the game lagging also on lower settings. I've tried factory data reset and after that lag disappeared for 2 or 3 days and again after 3 days lag came back I only downloaded the game (downloaded game after factory reset)
I think it's not" thermal throttling " maybe some systems apps causing the issue? Cuz every system has high usage
I've noticed every system apps running at 100%high frequency everytime, I think that might be the issue how can I fix this issue?

Disable you game launcher because when your phone heats up ,it drop your screen frame rate(fps) and also decrease your volume that cause so much of lagging issue.
My suggestion was to use a custom rom to get best gaming experience
It could be anything but if it is related to hardware section u can do nothing. So first of all u need to tell us about the CPU. If it's low-end or entry level CPU u can't play anything on it.
If it's mid-range, I can help u.
I have a phone running on mediatek helio g85 powered by android 12
I face the same issue as you do because I did an update of my os. So don't update your os.
And you need to charge 100% everytime you play. You need to restart the phone or clear the cache of your game before you play. Don't use your mobile data because it will heat up your phone quickly and don't run apps in background like Avast, Facebook Messenger etc. Try to remove your back cover and hold the phone like near a fan and turn off your volume u will notice a big difference and take a break after 30 minutes to cool down and power off the phone and don't use your phone at night power it off.
Also lower your brightness I mean u can play at night time it will not heat up your phone
am using corvus 3.0 on my poco f3 (8/256) .. I play PUBG with it ... problem is after playing 30-40 minutes it's start dropping it's performance... I use fan.. temperature less than 40 .. but If I restart UI or phone .. It will be fine for next 30-40 minutes . After 30-40 minutes it will drop it's performance.. Can anyone fix my problem?
Or suggest me another Rom which have default 90 fps unlocked in pubg..

Do you have vanced installed?
It heats the phone like crazy due to some bug... if heat doesn't throttle it then the cpu/gpu utilization will - on a thermal unlocked device the temp climbs up to 80C gpu/cpu and clockspeeds spike up to max every second or two.
Even with fan the temp is like 50/60C...
Now you probably have some sort of thermal throttle active so if indeed vanced is causing issues it won't spike the temp that much.
I have no idea how to fix vanced issue other than force closing it after done and not using it during gaming at all. Even closing it by swiping from the recent apps does nothing. Some users swear on disabling video resolutions , or using this and that setting but honestly none of that works. Usually takes couple mins / couple vids after running vanced to encounter this bug .
When force closed I can see temp instantly drop from 80C to below 40C within seconds.
If it's not vanced then idk , download cpu float and compare cpu/gpu clocks when you first boot the device vs when it starts slowing down. See if the clock utilization is too high on the homescreen/game menu. That's how I figured out where my issue comes from.
Tho perhaps you might want to disable thermal throttle first before trying to figure this out. It's hard to notice stuff like this otherwise. I remember complaining long time ago about kernel of arrow idling at almost 50C ( no fan, I figured if I used fan it would be 40C on homescreen / 50C + in game ) when in fact it was all from vanced bug. In this case the thermal throttle was on , so temp wasn't that high hence why you really should disable thermal limit , then if you figure it out you can always enable it again later.
Hello, i've got this 12X for a few months now and i'd like to ask if i'm supposed to get more than 7 hours battery life SoT and (sometimes around 4 hrs with the annoying gallery bug) because people told me they could make it last over 2 days watching movies, playing games etc and i can barely bring it home after school. Please reply, thanks
Switch 120hz to 60hz and find out, which app takes the most energy. My phone needs the most energy for the display.
which rom?
I'm on Taiwan rom ( basically is global rom with MIUI dialer). Already deloated and turned off xiaomi ads & other sync services. I can easily reach 30h+ and 9h SOT.
Things you should try:
- Get universal android debloat. Uninstall things you don't need. Recommend tab won't cause bootloop.
- MIUI has built in ads. Google it and disable them
- Use Naptime to fix battery drain during sleep
- Turn off services that you don't need (cloud, sync, google)
- Read and do this (this is only recommended on new phone or rom, in your case it might not be helpful but worth a try) xiaomi.eu/community/threads/tutorial-battery-drain-lag-after-os-update.58011/
Using Xiaomi.eu 13.0.7.0 and i go to work with 100% at the morning. I come back with ~50% with 5G always activated and 120Hz. My usage is TextMessage, social network, and listen to music. I think it depends on your usage. What is it ?
