I have never used a 3k mAh battery(phone) before and now that i have i cant really see a big change here are the stats
1. 20% battery after 10 hours.
2. Screen time 5 hours.
3.call time 40 mins
4. I am connected to wifi all day so whenever my screen is on its either i am surfing net or using any other internet apps
5. No game played
These are the status for today (usually same other days too)
If anyone of u can take out some time to reply abt if ur guys are getting the same or almost same charge time or is it only me
Mine screem time always exceeds 6.30hrs and i play games
Between 5-6 hrs of screen-on time on all-day wifi, 20-30 mins of 2G calls, an hour of gaming, an hour of YouTube or music, and the rest of the time wasted on social networking & other apps, and in taking a LOT of photos.
There have been days where i've seen 7 hrs of SOT, but that was when the phone wasn't loaded with as many apps as it is now. Now its mostly around 5 hours on moderately heavy usage and just over 6 on days when i only text & browse the web.

Battery usage- not effective
Dear friends,
I hear you all talking about battery usage, and i am wondering if anything is wrong with my phone.... who knows... but i would like to report that, yes , indeed the screen time is reaching the 5 hours but the battery has been reduced from 90% to 15% and only using facebook and videos and the music player!!!! OMG!!!! I Mean OMG!!!
Where did you came up with 5 hours with youtube plus gaming plus facebook plus talking plus plus ????
To my humble belief the battery needs to save more energy. !!!! At the moment i dont have any tool to monitor if all 8 processors are runnning at the same time, but i am pretty sure that they do run together for everything! BUT actually they dont need to run !!! Especially when the phone is used only for facebook webrowsing and all these applications.!!!!!
all cores must be triggered and be fully working when you are using high end graphic games and stuff! Why all this battery is running for such small applications @???@@@@!!!!!?????????
I am not sure if anyone knows any solution on how to deactivate all these cores, but if there is swomebody i would appreciate it if he really did as it is a pitty all this battery to go wasted JUST AND ONLY FOR the purpose of just alll 8 cores running at the same time WITHOUT ANY LOGICAL REASON!!!!
This phone has amazing poetntials!!!! AMAZING POTENTIALS if it to be reprogrammed and debloated by developers such as yourselfs!! If i knew how i would immediatelly start searching for a solution to all these issues!!! There are much more issues than that and for this phone specs the capabilities are being wasted!!! It needs to be debloated and may other things that will enable this phone to become a big GADGET in the market as a low cost and proper phone that it its!
Please for your replies
All the best

I have left this phone on overnight for 7 hours with WiFi and 4G connections, starting with 100% charge. Periodically my phone would have been checking for new podcasts but other than that it wasn't doing anything.
On my Moto G 4G, the battery dropped from 100 to 93%.
On the Mi 4i it only dropped to 97%, which could be the much larger battery, but it might also be the CPU returning quickly to a deep sleep state as it can finish tasks quicker.
In day to day usage I haven't found it hugely better in terms of battery life but I think that's because the screen is a lot larger and also has far more pixels which places a greater requirement on the GPU.
I use the GSam Battery Monitor app and have attached a screenshot from this as well as from the MiUi6/Android graph.

If you have heard of overclocking and underclocking nywas yes u can tweak processor u need to root our phone for that there are lot of apps for that I don't remember the names rights now.

Hi,
Wouldn't it be much more nicer though the fact of developing a new rom that the user will be able to do all these stuff ( i mean overclocking/underclocking, play with colors saturation and setting as well as eliminating all the process that prevent the phone from keeping the battery for 2 days! (that is even with wi fi use!)
Cause if you think about it , we are not far from previous low end generation phone that the used single core and much more less characteristics in order to run the exact same application on the same level, but in a lower graphics environment. Also look at samsung note 4 hibernation mode, that would be a development for this phone as well and keep the phone lasting for 30 days!
From one point of view we are talking with an open world of software, why not having these abilities why do we have to waste drain battery with no reason what so ever. ???
I think you know what short of improvements i am talking about and these would be accompanied perfectly with this phone specs.
what do you think guys?
i want your point of view, maybe i am not saying everything correctly.
Thanks

Yes that would be nice and I guess ASOP roms have all those features wat you are asking about. A new rom would be nice but miui keeps on fixes minor bugs I don't think mi would provide us that rom in near future and noone really likes to wait so everyone roots their phone and tweaks it xposed framework is one of the best thing after rooting

i have rooted my mi 4i but i cannot adjust only using two out of the eight cores for everything in order to achieve battery reduction.... there is non such application neither kernel development of any short hat allows you to change the kernel setting to how-many number of cores you would like.
But if you know any other way i would be most happy to hear about it my friend.

why are you asking this though? how does this relates to the core programming and usage, do you know any software to downclock and use only two cores only? that would be the benefit to the story,

Well coz Dev ROM sucks the battery so I thought that might ur case yes u can under clock the processor and ur devices must be rooted for it since the kernel source is out I guess we shd wait for a new ROM i am sure someone would include that feature in the ROM

If someone have root can use "Tweaks For Mi 4i . Fast Charge, No Lagging, Fix issues. For Any ROM" thread from en.miui page to get more standby. I used Tweak your cpu. Phone was coller and by night it used about 3%. Now on V7 I'm not sure it works but that ROM got a lot wakelocks from enything. By night it used 5%.
Hey guys I am sorry if this question is asked again, but does the ram management issue on the s6 cause lag in day to day usage or it just deters the multitasking performance? Gonna buy the s6 tomorrow, and Im damn excited

It will mean if you use the back key to come out of apps, sometimes they will reload, such as phone and messaging etc, but only usually games will be closed regularly and aggressively. General lag isn't a problem, just a slight delay loading aps back into memory once they've closed.
I find if I back out of apps using the home key this problem is reduced.

How about scrolling through apps such as chrome ,Facebook ,play store. Does this issue cause any lag?
I've never really experience any huge lag. I turn off my device once in 2 days so maybe that helps.

90% of users won't even notice the memory management "issue". Only hardcore multitaskers will. The "issue" is the S6 kicks apps out of cache very quickly so whenever you tap the multitask button, the app relaunches/redraws instead of resuming from a hibernated state. There is a little lag (~0.5 second), but it is not a dealbreaker that would prevent you from enjoying the phone.

Chrome lags on every device I have owned, including the S6. Any app that uses Android WebView will lag.
I don't use facebook, so I can't speak for that app.
No Play store lag on my S6.

Really, I did'nt notice the problem with multitasking (because the S6 is so fast) before I read about it here.
Also, all the **** you hear about the battery life is not true. Of course, it's not the best out there (only 2550mah, so of course not) but it easily get you through the day (normal usage) and at least into another. The battery have gotten way better with a few updates (it was damn bad at the start) and might get even better when 5.1 hits in a few weeks.
Just turn of basic stuff, that noone uses anyway (almost) like, location history, wifi always scanning and such.

Glad to hear that, by the way 5.1 just came out recently and its showing mixed reactions among the users. Some people says that the battery life has improved a lot after the update and some just says its the same.

No, it's not out yet. At least not for the international version. Some users think, that the reason only one carrier got it yet, is because it is a "test" version. Not sure tho.
But well, as said, only out for one carrier for over a week now.

Yeah the battery life is overblown. It is no worse than any other phone with <2500 mAh battery. Anyone coming from a 3000+ mAh battery will be disappointed, but anyone that is used to plugging in every day won't know any different.
If you are rooted, I also recommend App Ops to manage permissions and save more battery :good:
Check Force gpu rendering and no lag. As far as it regards multitasking it sucks.

Oh, don't worry then. It's a trick you can do through ADB. But then I don't see any reason why your phone would be lagging, my XZ Premium runs Bubble Witch Saga 3 just fine without any lags. Does your phone become hot whenever you try to play them? It might be worth clearing the cache of the Lagg apps.

It's not hot , so should I put in 4k? (it will drain more energy ?)
What I've attempt so far :
-Contact game support to ask
-clear cache
-uninstall & install still lagging

You could try to clear the phone's cache under the storage tab in settings. Forcing it to 4k would probably just cause more issues and lag as it would have to render more pixels. It also drains more energy. If you watch a 4k video it automatically switches to 4k mode, so I'd leave it. You could go into developer settings and check gpu and cpu usage to see how much they are being used, which might give you an idea where the problem lies.
Do you happen to have stamina modus on? That will make anything laggy to save your battery for days.

I do believe I turned most of stamina option , there is only one left (the one that tell you when your battery going to be over)
might be best to not used stamina mode during gaming session since stanina mode decreased phone performance used only when critical hours like 20% or less to prolong phones usage. here check out erica griffin s8 gpu performance though its s8 review but she did compare xz premium gou performance with riptide game and it really is a great performance. heres the youtube title sorry really dont know to used youtube link lol "S8 & S8+ Review Part 2 || Performance After 2 Months [All You Need to Know]" erica griffin

I checked , everything I found about Stamina is turned off , maybe I have to wait an update since the only game that actually do lag is those saga game (I have to wait 1 to 5 sec to be able to move the arrow to aim)
I am planning to buy this device but I fear of some major issues normally exist with xiaomi devices and as well I know xiaomi it is expert in ignoring it or fixing it. Still I want to go with xiaomi again because I have learnt everything about its boot-loader unlocking and rooting.
I have redmi 3s and it suffers very serious problems like low fps stuttery video, Low data download speed even coverage, hoooooooorible audio recording quality. ( I should not complain about how much it gets hot as it comes with pretty mediocre chipest)
My friends also informed me about dead pixel issues. Even I have replaced my screen once.
I just want to keep running 4 apps at once with no heating or lag.
Is there any serious bug or issues with this device that I should know before buying this.
there is very minor screen bleeding which is not noticeable untill and unless you stare for a few seconds near the punch hole. No dead pixels for me. Multitasking is good easily handles a browser and few apps in the background. the main con with this device is the battery backup. if you are planning to use this device on 120hz then be ready to juice up your device atleast 2 times a day for me it is close to 4.
Umm fps in this X2 is around 50-60 fps in gaming and according to me camera fps is related to camera if company claims 960 fps then I will give but quality suffer sometimes ...and seriously I see many user compaling about battery it has 120hz screen with around 6.67 inch it's good that device is giving 5-6.5 hr continues gaming and if without gaming it can run for 1 day ver easily ( I play game for about 1-1.5 hr and I charged daily morning .. and heating is very common in all device but it can prevent by taking some steps like don't use while charge ... (Seriously I never feel any heating issue)
I have xiaomi redmi note 7 and battery backup decrease to 40% to 50%.. And when i play video games mobile heat so much but when it was new, that time was normal as compared to now.. If I changed new original battery.. It can be fixed heating problem..
Playing video games excedingly stresses device's SoC what heats up battery. That's absolutely normal.
Just make sure to not play while charging your phone–that can easily overheat your device whether it's a brand new high-tech one or an older model. As @jwoegerbauer already mentioned, if you're playing high graphics games, heating up is completely normal.

it's normal for some phone to heatup while doing some intensive task like playing games,
but if it's a software problem you should raise a complaint in xiaomi forum about it, i am sure you will find a solution there.
