Standby drain

[lockhrt999]

I charged my phone to 100% before going to sleep and when I got up the battery was down to 65%... When I checked the power usage, the Android system was consuming over 60%....I wiped the cache and data and reset my phone....again the Android system is consuming more than 45%.... without any apps....the battery usage also shows "Awake" all the time when the screen is off and also I have enabled screen lock.... please help!!!

trust it's the apps. MIUI fails to show correctly which app used how much battery. Remove unnecessary apps and battery will improve drastically. I removed few apps including airtel tv and that has increased my battery backup more than two folds. Plus I never ever used airtel tv.

I had insane drain on both miui 9 and 10 ( stock ) then changed over to lineage.
It is way better now but with the phone always on battery save mode and wifi off the current drain could be less imho..
About 5% during the night is 'normal' atm..
Might be switching over to pixel experience as lineage seems to be "done" due to the IR copyright stuff...

Try turning off the adaptive battery at settings in battery and performance.

For my part, I get constant battery drain (about 2% per hour) when the screen is turned off, but no app seems to be using that much battery... It's really problematic as in two days of use it is awake ~ 20-25h in total which means ~40-50% of battery lost without doing nothing :/

Battery stats do not show any specific problem - everything uses a reasonable part of the battery, including Android which uses about 14%.

This doesn't happen on custom ROMs but sadly these have a lot of problems on my phone (SIM not detected, very weak signal, even after flashing latest vendor, boot problems, etc.)

I have exactly the same issue!!!! Even the 2% happens at night I see and doze seems to be working perfectly. Last week I installed the EU MIUI rom 10.3.6 from complete scratch (wiped internal storage to make sure). Absolute time waste since it didn't help at all.

My next step is to use a USB charging monitor and to measure the capacity of the battery. The 2% per hour of a 500mAh is the same comsumption as a 0.5% per hour of a 2000mAh battery if you know what I mean.

Guys, Guys. Check if the mobile is being remained awake even when the screen is off. This is how it should be ideally.

Your awake like is likely going to be continuous, which explains the battery drain. Some app is keep your device from going idle. Now trust me you can't know which app by just looking into battery app consumption because it doesn't show the apps which are keeping device awake. You can install a third party app to detect which junky app is causing this problem. Or like me, just get rid of the apps which you are not using. For me, the battery improved more than 2 folds. Please post screenshot of your device like above.

That's not always the case on my phone (see the first attached screenshots), also Wi-Fi Bluetooth & so on are off when I have this "battery drain" problem (see the last screenshots).

But it's true that sometimes my phone shows it's nearly-always "awake", do you know any way to find applications that keep the phone awake?

Ok, got a 2.0% per hour a night again.

I have attached a number of screenshots. If someone can have a look at this and give me some advice I would be thankful

Nothing is abnormal with this battery drain.

It is caused because your network signal is weak and your phone is constantly searching for a better signal to lock on to.

Mine's pretty much healthy standby. During last weekend, I never had to charge my phone in our house because it has very long standby time. I only opened it for texting, random picture taking, etc. I only open my wifi for it to sync to my local cloud (Nextcloud). Other than that, wifi is off. And oh, we don't have internet access at home at the moment, due to technical issues, that might also be another thing to consider.
I also manually disable apps from starting from background in the permission settings, the apps that I do not want to be notified for especially FB and Messenger.
My phone was stock, bootloader never unlocked. Global stable 10.3.7.

This phone in its stock ROM is pretty good. Only the third party apps were the problem battery-wise. Remember that apps ask for permission during first install, if you just say yes to all then you're up to high battery consumption. Check your permissions!

It is abnormal because for my part it happened suddenly, before the battery was decreasing a lot slower (in the exact same places with same signal strength).

I installed a few days ago the beta of Pixel Experience (Android 10) and now it's back to normal (in 2 hours the phone didn't lose a single %). Same thing with the Google Play Services which were eating battery at an enormous speed if I enabled mobile data, this bug doesn't happen anymore on PE.

That reply was for me but I fully agree. At my work I have full signal strength, exactly the same thing.

Maybe I need to try Pixel Experience but I am afraid to switch over since swapping MIUI roms already got me in trouble with the encryption the day before yesterday.
I seriously need to look into that btw.

Oh you're right I quoted the wrong post ^^'

If you have problems with encryption, just think to disable *ALL* security options before flashing (so disable schema / password / fingerprint unlock). I stopped having problem with encryption only when I removed completely these securities before flashing anything

Well, got my 'old' Redmi note 5 pro out of the drawer again and stuck an active sim from the same provider in it. Both phones lying next to each. The Poco F1 is drawing 2.4% per hour and the Redmi note 5 pro I charged about 13 hours ago is at 97%. So do the maths.
I seriously love the phone, as I do with the Redmi note 5 pro, but the drain on my F1 is just crazy.

I monitored the network traffic on the wifi network that the Redmi 6 was connected to that has the drain issue.
It seems to be communicating constantly with a random laptop over the network.
It's keeping awake because of some Spotify traffic.
So I believe this is caused by media apps that try to do this whole shared network controls.
It can be related to other media devices on the network too.
There's a Google Home Mini on this network, which has this "allow other devices to control the media playback".

So turn off Spotify and Google Home devices and see if that helps.
The network broadcasting features must be draining and always keeping things awake.

Poco f1 battery drain other apps

Hi, can some one help me identify the "other apps" that is responsible for such a huge drain

So do I. "other apps" drains my autonomy (32%). Help me. I have reset my phone but the problem continues.

Ever since I got a second sim in I've started having issues with cell standby drain. I'm keeping my second sim off, but even then I see pretty unnatural usage on cell standby (percentage varies from low 20s to low 30s, somethimes even more). I've tried a couple of things since this screenshot was taken a couple of days ago:

Wiping cache and data from google play services, rebooting the phone and charging it
Changing the network type to LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL), then to LTE/WCDMA

I was thinking about trying a cache wipe from recovery, or a factory reset, but is there anything else I can do before trying a factory reset?
