Hi Team,
Just bought Micromax A90, but facing battery issue since past week. Earlier I used to get 1 and half days of battery backup and battery was consumed only 50%. But off late have observed battery does not last beyond 10 hours.
Used 2x battery, NQ Android booster, juice defender to get to the real cause, but of no help. Then can across this forum and downloaded BetterBatteryStats for further details.
Upon seeing the graph, it shows device used max battery while being Awake. Have disabled all sync, wifi and other things as per best practice but still not getting enough juice out of phone even after very less usage (like calls and internet use)
Attached are the log files from the device for reference.
Appreciate forums help in resolving this issue and restoring peace of mind.

Still facing the same issue.
Below stats for ref:
from 93% to 39% (5.9%/hr)
max used by
Awake = 100%
No Data connection = 100%
No or unknown signal = 100%
Also battery seemed to be a bit hot as it seemed that phone may be used full night. Attached logs for ref.
Not able to get to the exact root cause of the issue. Appreciate forum's help in isolating the problem.

I had my mi3 for more than 5 months, until suddenly closed and never opened again(i tried EVERYTHING) i send it back to service they fix it by changing the mainboard, BUT when i received my mi3 back it has extremely fast battery drain, my mi3 cant handle more than 2hour screen on time(with cleared installed rom without any program/ also i tried many roms clearly installed) i have tried many times calibration apks i have tried full discharge/charge battery cycle, every time the battery life was the same...some times the battery falls from 14% to 10% immediately..so anyway i said is the battery and I CHANGED the battery with a new one..
GUESS WHAT..again screen on time maximum 2-3hours WITHOUT using it a lot only some sms/phone calls..
WTF i have to do now? what can cause the problem whaaaaat? when i bought my mi3 the battery life with heavy using it was 5-6hours screen on time, and now faiiiill..
what can i do? please tell me what i have to CHANGE again..
Maybe it is the antena that draining battery? because some times i have bad signal so is trying to find signal..(before many months when the phone was brand new i didnt have never problems with my signal)

maybe you see to much LINE but believe me i had more than 6h screen on time with more usage and more gaming.
btw many times i receive message for missing calls and i always have 2 or more signal lines i dont know why..
Here I share my experience with cm 11& cm12 . I got yureka about 4 month ago. As usual starting time all is good no battery drain or overheating, but after 2 month I got batterydissue with cynogen 11 official stock ROM, battery drain and overheating . so I try to searching in internet and find the issue , media server. Screen brightness where get 13% media server get 41% of battery. So I try to desable media storage. After that battery drain and heating issue little bit solved. But my phone get unstable. I can not get review my picture , app,song, video etc without going the exact folder. File sharing , listing song getting a big issue. After that I try to upgrade cm11 to cm12 with 128mb extra update. After that my battery issue is fully solved, no battery drain or overheat in standby mode it going 1.5 days. But I face a big issue with app lag. App is unstable, not working properly, getting ram too much. So I don't understand what am I doing now , I have a request to upload cm11 ROM with repair media server issue. If it is not possible then I will think I was wrong for buy this mobile
I was wondering if somebody could share his/her experience with the Mi 4c regarding battery life.
As I am a heavy user and don´t want my phone to die on me on 2pm I´d really apreciate it if somebody could tell me how good the battery life is on this phone.
I'm also a heavy user and i'm happy with the batterylife on MIUI. I get the same as i got with my Sony Z1 Compact, and those Compact phones are known for their good batterylife. I mean if you come from a phone with 5000 mAh battery then you might be dissapointed i think
No, its really good. I had other phones which i had to recharge sometimes more than 2 times a day, but the Mi4c brings me through the day
So yesterday I had about 6 hours of screen on time, and it was off the mains from 8:30 am to 1 am, i.e. 14.5 hours. Three to four hours of 3G, half an hour of GPS tracking, and otherwise mainly chatting and browsing and using a few apps. This beat my every expectation, my previous phones would last barely 10 hours with only 4 hours of screen on time.
Edit: this is with Cyanogenmod. MIUI didn't seem to cut me such slack, especially not when Google Sync was on (which always timed out because I'm in China where Google is blocked).
---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------
I did notice, however, that once the phone goes dead because of an empty battery, it won't start until you actually charge it for a few minutes first. Or it may start and die straight away. My Nexus 5 would always still start with an empty battery.
Gsmarena battery life test
Gsmarena did run few test on Mi4C. Here are the results:
Endurance rating: 52h
Talk time: 18:31h
Web browsing: 9:32h
Video Playback: 10:47h
For comparison (LG G2, Xiaomi Mi 4, LG G4:
LG G2 (3000mAh)
Endurance rating: 81h
Talk time: 25:15h
Web browsing: 11:42h
Video Playback: 9:28h
Xiaomi Mi 4 (3080mAh)
Endurance rating: 68h
Talk time: 18:15h
Web browsing: 9:31h
Video Playback: 7:00h
LG G4 (3000mAh)
Endurance rating: 54h
Talk time: 16:40h
Web browsing: 7:54h
Video Playback: 7:23h
Web browsing and video playback times are very good on Mi4C but endurance rating is rather low. That means that Mi4C consumes quite a bit battery in standby. However that is easily fixed with couple tweaks. It seems that Mi4C have good battery life :good:
CM12.1 battery use attached. It's weird that (as I've said on a reddit review) standby battery use is pretty low for me, though the meter does seem to drop quickly when I use the phone. I think the battery might need calibrating, but it seems good enough got my needs!
For those who can't see the attached screenshots: 16hrs off charger, 2hrs 38mins SOT, mixture of browsing reddit, chrome and MX Player
I'm considering to get the mi4c to replace my Nexus 5 just for the battery life.
Is it worth to lose NFC, wireless charging and LTE (no 800 band)?

I think these questions can only be answered by yourself...for me, NFC is not important, i never used it in my other phones. And do you need wireless charging when you get through the day with one charge? Also, i personally dont use LTE because i find 3G is fast enough on a phone.
Over all those things i really prefer battery life. I once had a Sony Xperia V, with very poor battery life and i had to switch to 2G when i was home and used WiFi, or turn WiFi off when i was outside. And much more, just to save a bit off battery. Then i bought a Sony Z1 Compact and i didnt had to do all those things, which was really a joy. Just leave everything on and get through the day. And its the same with my Mi4c. No need for battery savers, tasker or such things anymore
But like i said, you might prefer other things.
You guys are using the unoficial cm 12.1 build or which cm rom ? could you pls post a link to the rom please? i am using the developer miui rom and the battery is very bad

Yes, the unofficial CM12.1, its the only one at the moment
One last thing about this cm 12.1 rom, how is the camera quality ? and with the miui 5.10.22 developer rom i am experiencing a weird issue with messenger, when i get a new message and i open to see it, if i already had messenger opened i dont see the new message, i have to click the back button to go to friend list, then it like refreshes, and if i go back to the chat, i can see the message.
Thanks

I was really surprised about the camera quality. All CM ROMs on other phones had a very poor picture quality compared to the stock roms. And camera is very important for me. Our unofficial CM12.1 has the same picture quality like MIUI in my opinion. No idea how the dev made this happen, but its great
Regarding the messenger, maybe its an app problem and not a MIUI problem? I don't know...
Thanks a lot, I am really thinking about flashing, eventhough I have always been afraid to flash unoficial builds, since I dont understand how they make them without the kernel sources. But the battery life is so horrible on the developer rom
So far, battery life is respectable for me as a second phone. 1.5 days off the charger, a bit less then 4.5 hours SOT, mostly YouTube, web browsing, offline game. Stock stable chinese MIUI 7 ROM, rooted and greenify.

Still loving the battery life on this thing, can only imagine how much more awesome it's going to be on M

Totally agree and this with CM, where normally battery life is bad
guys battery life is special bad when in options of wifi is on scanning always available.
i use miui xiaomi.eu rom number 5,10,22 and i finde it best at the moment.
1.58minutes of gps 38min of talk 4g on all day about 30min browsing and on the end of the day stil 35% about 2h of sot.
My battery life is pretty good. Regardless of whatever I do during the day, I can easily squeeze 4 hours SoT from the phone. My battery depletes the fastest whenever I listen to music while keeping 4G on the entire time as my phone is rarely in deep sleep, and idle battery usage becomes higher than screen usage. This is actually one of the more annoying issues; my music player seems to drain quite a bit of the battery as MediaServer is always on even when I'm not playing music - the app icon stays in the notification bar unless I actually terminate the app.
The best I got out of the phone was, according to the attached images, 5 hours SoT at 39% battery. This was with WiFi on the entire time, screen to about half brightness and middling reception quality.
I'm currently running the 5.10.8 MIUI EU weekly build. Quite interested in flashing CM12.1 when the bugs get cleaned up.

Do you just listen to music and browse web? Because you have 0 wakelocks, do you use gmail meseenger,facebook,etc.?

Yes, I use all of those. Keep in mind this is pretty abnormal for my phone. Typically, it would be around 3.5-4 hours of SoT at 40% battery, so you shouldn't get your hopes up too much. From memory, all I was doing was Reddit and some web surfing, with Whatsapp, Gmail and Messenger set to sync while phone was asleep. If I were listening to music, the battery drain would've been quite a bit more. And there were wakelocks but they don't really show on the stat screen.

Fast battery drain on the Mi5s occurs when the fingerprint reader is active. Disable it by removing any fingerprints registered in the security setup (in other words, don't use your fingerprint reader option) and reboot. You will notice the phone runs much cooler and the battery lasts much much longer. To permanently resolve the issue and regain use of the fingerprint reader, you must root the phone or find some other way of disabling com.qualcomm.qti.biometric.fingerprint.service.
Until about four days ago, I would never consider taking my Mi5s out of the house because it was useless unless I wanted to drag a power bank with me. A comment by someone got me motivated to dig into this issue and I found other people at xiaomi.eu reporting the basics as I've stated above. Yesterday I removed fingerprints, fully charged the phone and today I have 50% battery left and a cool running phone. Normally, it would be less than 20 % after sitting idle overnight. I've asked Xiaomi to consider an app with root permission to fix this. I am not holding my breath.
Im on custom rom everyday i get around 12-15 hours continue backup excessive usage with wifi and gps on. And even vpn is on because im in china so need vpn for google, facebook and youtube.
Look this I havent locked my phone since 2 hours and battery is still 83 %

Im on ViperOS 7.1.2.
Its best with magisk and xposed and even substratum works good.
Daily 13-18hours battery backup.
I have bought my phone two years back on launch Day. So havent changed my battery also.
I wish somebody update ViperOS to latest security patches then it will be more great
