How To Guide How to reduce battery consumption on the Poco F3

[stavrosbin]

I tried MIUIMIX as suggested by one guy above and it doesn't seem to help a lot. Battery life probably got even worse than Xiaomi.eu. I will test the overnight idle and wait a few days for my final verdict.

i think this is miui bug. It actually stores more battery at 100% thus making it looks like 100% can hold longer than usual. Can you try from <90% battery charge and leave it overnight?

Sometimes, I lose too 0% battery overnight, but usually when that happens, I open my phone after, battery drain faster for a certain amount of % before going back to normal draining.

Did it from yesterday night to today, it went from 78% to 76% if I'm not mistaken.

Also 18% to 15% past-yesterday

The developer of xiaomi.eu said that removing SoterService (com.tencent.soter.soterserver) will break "Fingerprint payments" https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/info-widevine-l1-support.61064/

Apparently it seems like Xiaomi.eu is the clear winner for guys who actually use the phone.
The only advantage I got from MiuiMix is that at some time during the night I got 0.17%/h compared to 0.3-0.4%/h on Xiaomi.eu ROM.
The SOT is around 5.5-6hs on Xiaomi.eu and around 5h or less on MiuiMix (on a 75-25% charge).
Here is my usage with MiuiMix with open wifi 24/7 (from 75 to 50):

Does anybody use any custom roms (ArrowOS, CrDroid, HavocOS) that can share his battery stats and SOT time?

It would be nice of we could at least have a rough verdict on which the winner is for battery life.

I don't think you can find a clear winner. It will depend each time on how the user uses his phone (like if only do browsing or watch serie or record videos etc).
I think any main ROM will give you a decent battery life.
Here's two stats for xiaomi.eu that I posted on specific topic. You can see 1h of sot difference. Within 2 days. So don't necessarily believe those stats?

Well yeah I don't think there is a clear difference while changing roms (Gone from stock to xiaomi.eu to miuimix to crdroid now). I guess I will probably stick with Xiaomi.eu (since I really like the UI) and throw in optimum kernel for the battery.

Seems like this is the best combo for me.

I would think that crdroid would offer the best battery life as it is very clean and sober. But it's relative to the kernel too indeed

Yeah I saw screenshots of people having 5%/h SOT with wifi 24/7 but I am getting 10% right now (like the other ROMS). Hopefully in a couple of days after a few charges I can get to this.

Hmm, 5%h/sot? I been using crdroid and I didn't saw anyone with that on crdroid group. And, u can't expect to have the same sot, different people, different usage.

5%/h sot means they are getting 20h sot which is impossible

Well here is a screenshot on what he sent me. I was really doubtful too but the screenshot seems noteworthy at least.

U can see by the %/hr in screen off that his phone has alot of crap running in the background. Besides, he's using low brightness and basically no apps at all. Don't try to reach something like that, u won't be able to if u use your phone.

Well yeah that's what I thought too, hopefully in a couple of days it gets better.

Just for the people out here.
Installed the latest weekly xiaomi.eu and I was really impressed with the battery life. I am getting around 8%/h SOT with Wifi 24/7 and watching videos/messaging.
I am quite impressed.

I am the one in the photo and I have to tell you that the consumption is a little high in idle is because I have the honorband connected 24h and if you look there is the vpn key, which is the adguard app filtering the internet connection, it may also be because I usually listen to music.
If you look well you will see that the brightness is not that this low, if not that this in automatic and the apps I use are normal use (no game), mail, telegram, whatsapp, browser, calls, newpipe......

You don't have to be so smart about life mate.

Start using your phone instead of using 20% brightness all day and looking into a black wallpaper, cheers.

Cool topic. However, I have a problem with the "Logd" process, it is still draining my battery in F3. Can something be done about it? I was looking for answers but only found people who have the same problem.

try going to developer setting and disable log. And reinstall those system apps u debloated to test. U cannot debloat some system apps because those apps will spam the logcat when missing. i had more drain then normal after deep debloat my miui
