Question Big battery drain in Miui 12

[the_pesky_bug]

Hi guys,
I am a dissatisfied user of Redmi note 10 pro max.
Currently using the global Miui 12.0.10 version.

Battery life is bad. I can see some kernel wakelocks not allowing the phone to go into deep sleep mode. I lose at least 15-20% overnight everyday.
Stats
Radio interface - 36790 wakelocks
NETLINK-hvdcp_opti 1486906 wakelocks
NETLINK-batterysecret 1487448 wakelocks
I don't have a screenshot for the issue at the moment. I can provide a adb bug report if needed. How to remove personal identify Info from the file?
Does anyone else face this issue? Please provide me a solution for this issue.

- unfortunately you are not alone, those NETLINK wakelocks are on my phone too, and i have only Redmi note 10 Pro, so thanks for your report - this seems as more and more like a software issue to me, either firmware, or something like that, im going to download and test different versions of firmware and see if that helps in any way...
- for anonymous logs try to use Syslog from Play store
- as for solutions to this problems, they are to be found yet, I found exactly one ROM where devs claims he fixed deep sleep problems (Spark-vBlaze-sweet...), I managed to install it one time for test (but when I tested it my phone didn't have deep sleep problems yet, so I uninstalled it to try another ROM) ... what's interesting, I cant install Spark anymore now that I have deep sleep problems on my device, no matter what - for unknown reasons (I can install it, it just get stuck on ROM logo forever)

There was period of a week after updating to 12.0.10, I got great battery life. 2 days with SOT of approx 6hrs. Then the problem started again. This is so annoying. I don't wanna install custom roms cause I have all my company stuff in here. Custom rom will probably screw it. Hope devs find a soln to this bug. Do you need anonymous logs for analysis.?

- so, this "deep sleep" issue is indeed related somehow to fw flashed on your device (at least partially), after I flashed the oldest fw for "sweet" that I was able to found, my device started to deep sleep again ... its not perfect ... only about 50%, but it's better than zero, or near zero I was getting before ...
- now i going to try to flash Spark ROM again, to see if it was fw that freeze it ...

Is there any way to reach MI devs with this bug? Will Mi will ever solve this issue?

I heard its still in pilot. 12.5 global or EU version? Once it comes and if no major bugs reported,I will install it. Till then, let's wait.

global and EEA region stable was released few days ago i am using it , it is good

- maybe in MIUI, not for custom ROM user, deep sleep issues, and it's not stable - it's stable beta - I honestly don't know how Chinese comrades come out with this - it's either stable OR beta, stable beta makes no sense to me ...
- I'm still investigating, but this deep sleep issues are probably result of "bad" combination of certain gapps + newest fw from 12.5.1
- I managed to "solve" deep sleep issue by flashing very old build of bitgapps (arm 64 R19) + MIUI 12.0.14 base + fw from 12.5.1 (it works in the latest vanilla Nusantara project, not sure if this will work in other ROMs)

I will use it once it is available for me. In the meanwhile, can I know if the wake lock issue has been solved in 12.5? Also how much SOT and battery life are you getting? If you don't mind please post some SOT and wake lock stats here. Thanks in advance.

Normal about 6h sot , i did noticed this battery drain on 12.0.16 before that it was fine , on 12.5 is fine also i think but needs more testing i just installed it , only bug i found is some permanent notifications from some apps like di.fm i cant remove it

UPDATE: The issue is now fixed. I have been observing it for 5 days before posting here. How it was fixed? No idea. Now I am comfortably getting 7hrs+ SOT lasting 1 and half days as per my usage. Overnight charge drop has reduced 3-4%.

Did you update to the new firmware or anything?
Really strange fixing by itself

 

[Bruwes]

mine when I go to sleep I turn off the Wi-di and the 4g and even so it's using 10 - 15% of the battery. I can't solve.

did you manage to solve?

What application did you manage to read the waklocks?
