Battery life on MIUI - Post your experience

[Kjeldmis]

I am getting about 3 - 4 days of average usage out of a 100 % charge, running MIUI 1.8.19. I will continue to update this thread with confirmed findings of MIUI users posted here. Other than that, happy flashing!

People experiencing battery drain issues please post the following:

• Your running kernel (bmarko@magellan if you didn't flash anything on top)
• CPU spy screenshot of a drain (from 100 % to like 20%, you can get CPU spy from market)
• Screenshot of stats from the battery monitor in settings
• Did you perform a battery recalibration after flash? (Charging the phone to 100 % in off mode, then boot)

My recommendations on increasing battery life:

• Keep data on off whenever you don't use it. WiFi does not seem to have battery drain issues, use that instead if you are at home.
• Disable albumart and lyrics download in music player, when you dont use it.
• The media server can go crazy on battery drain - Even if you don't listen that much to music.
• Use another launcher than the standard one. Sometimes in rare occations (happened for me twice though) the launcher keeps the phone out of deep sleep. I have had good results with Go Launcher.

Easy Alternative,

1. Download Battery Calibration from the market (Free) and install
2. Do a continuous charge the phone from AC charger recommended instead PC USB to 100% while its on
3. Follow instruction of the application and rate it well before uninstalling (the app creator made our life easy for free)

Battery Calibration

Cheers

You are in the wrong forum, this is the SGSII forum.
But to help you anyway: Using 2G instead of 3G helps alot on the SGS1.
