Hi, so I heard that the batter is huge 5200 mah which is fantastic but unfortunately it's not working as it supposes to be, its working kind of like 4000 mah.
I would love to know if there's is any solution to that, for example maybe installing any ROM that fixes these fast battery drain or something like that, and also how much improvement is it?
I have a feeling that the new Mi 10 4800 mah will be much better than the 5200mah in the note 10, so I'm not sure yet which one should I buy. I do want the note 10 cause it has better cameras than the mi 10 and also smaller size, but I'm afraid the batter will be bad.
currently, I'm with MI 9SE
Thanks.
I don't have any battery problems so far. I have note 10 pro with global miui 11.0.13 from the box. Normal usage with 2-3 h with max resolution i Amazon prime video, i got 2.5-3 day without problem. I just removed all unnecessary apps. I come from s8+ and on 2.5y old samsung I still get 1.5day. So battery usage for my is something totally personal and depends on apps you use and yours needs. I need to mention that I'm at work 5 days in week for 9 hours without signal coverage, so my phone's searching signal for 9 hours, Bluetooth, wifi and mobile data always on.

Dont worry about the battery life. It is really great compared to other devices, it just could be a little better considering the actuals size, but that doesnt mean it has bad battery life. I charge my Mi Note 10 around every 2-3 days and didnt really manage to drain it in one day since i got it

You're lucky then. For some of us it barely manages a day on normal use - which is unacceptable given the battery size!
This depends on the way you use your Mi Note 10, for me, one and a half day easy ! I use Netflix, Boom Beach, Top Eleven, Youtube, Instagram, Telegram and Tapatalk, 7 to 9h of SOT.
I use 4G and when i´m at home i use Wi-Fi, so, compare to my "ex" (Mi 8), it kick is ***s LOLOL
Generally I have around 7 hours of SOT and I charge my phone every 3 days. The main battery issue I have is due to Whatsapp and has nothing to do with my Note 10.
The thing that helped me for a longer battery life was to disable fingerprint unlock. I get 10h SOT and 48h between charging.
My battery lasts 2 - 3 days on normal usage.
Wifi, 4g, fingerprint active.
I uninstalled almost all xiaomi apps except Themes, Cleaner and Xiaomi Store.
Hope an update will improve battery stats even more.
There is really no battery issue here. I am sure the battery life can be further optimized through an update, but it is overall very good.
I'm not a heavy user but I need to charge 3ach night I get about 30% left by bed time. My Mi A3 lasted about the same.

EU stock rom minus the xiaomi standard apps.
I'm mostly using the phone for maps, camera,browsing and light gaming (less than a hour of gaming). Neither of these should cause the battery drain I'm seeing.
Just today sith about 2h screen on time and taking around 60 pictures (rest spend browsing) I lost about 40% charge. That doesn't look normal?
Maybe it's a problem specific to the eu rom?
I think you can buy the phone. If you get the battery drain, then just reinstall MIUI. That should work. I am getting my bootloader unlocked tomorrow and then i will see if the battery issue will go away when I install MIUI.EU :fingers-crossed:
I have Mi Note 10 and I charge the battery everyday.
In 16 hours of use:
5 h of SoT,
1 h of vocal calls
Telegram, Whatsapp, Instagram Twitter
2 wearable connected
1 h music with BT headset.
At the end of the day i have 40-35% left of battery. I can't beleve someone could have 3 days battery life.
Fingerprint unlock drain battery
If you unlock it and install a custom rom like xiaomi.eu,miglobe which have almost no bloatwear and use something like nap time or kernel audiator you have much better baterry life than stock.usually i have about 10 hours sot or better with kernel fixes.i had 13 hours when i decreased the cpu clock by 25%.but is not good setting for gaming.

can you give more details about this? what is this MIUI.EU diffrenet than the stock MIUI? and what do u need to do to change it, is a root is necesary?
Thanks for everyone on replying here but it doesnt really help to compae each other batter life in "how many times you charge in a week", each one has its own use so if you charge once a week and the other one charge once a day it doesnt really say anything
I know that the battery is working well, like i said "its working like 4000mah", 4000 mah is a nice size of batter which can last pretty long time, BUT the battery is 5200 mah, if the battery is good enough for you, it doesnt mean that theres no issue; there is an issue, but u dont feel it cause 4000mah is enoguh for you.
As I see for now, theres no solution for that.. I thought that maybe installing custom ROM will fix these because the problem is generaly caused by the MIUI system right? so if we remove it and install fresh android, it suppose to extend the battery life dramticly cause it will now use the 5200mah batter, but it sounds like maybe the problem is more inside, maybe the number 5200 mah is not really 5200 and xiaomi just try to give it a baz name..
Thanks for everyone anyway

Try to backup your DATA in TWRP, wipe and then use the Global Version. I never used the european version and never had battery drain problems. With the update 1.0.13 the cpu frequenciy problem also seems to be fixed

You are right, installing a custom Rom improves battery alot, as i said before, it seems to be a System.img problem not a hardware problem so it can get only better with time. Also i dont think it behaves like a 4000 mAh. My GF has a Pocophone with 4000 mAh and i always have more battery at the end of the day even though i use my phone more than her.
And as i said before, XIAOMI didnt trick anyone, the battery size is around 5200 mAh.

do u recommend installing a ROM then? is it possible somehow without any root? i havent done this for like 7 years.. is there a ROM u can suggest that has for sure dramaticly improvemnt on the battery?
I remeber installing ROM was always annoying cause every ROM has some tweaks that not work right like Wifi or camera that constantly crashes.. is these things stil exist in ROMs these days?

No i cant recommend it at the moment. The only roms available are GSI's, so if you havent used roms in 7 years, i wouldnt touch them yet, even though the battery life is amazing. Also, you dont need root to change roms, but you have to unlock your bootloader and maybe TWRP for ease of use.

Hi I have HTC Sensation, and 1,5 ghz kernel, dar forest rom. And I calibrate battery, and I am after few cycles, becouse some says that after flashing new rom, u must wait a couple o cycle to battery to be good. And my battery last about 19 hour with about 3,5 hour screen on. Is it good or bad, and what can I do if its bad
Hi,
If you are using a data plan and sync data, try increasing the frequency interval or use manual sync. Saves Battery.
Good or bad?
But, how do you guys think is it good battery life, medium or bad?

I'd agree with average. One thing you can do is install 'CurrentWidget' from the Android market and place the widget on your homescreen. Change the refresh interval to 10 seconds, turn the screen off and then wait around a minute for the phone to settle. After a while, turn the screen on again and look at the reading the widget gives. It should be around 3-5mA (that's what I get on my HD2). If it isn't you may want to try turning off different wireless things and anything you think may cause high battery drain. Turning off background data is a MUST, you have to turn it back on to use the market but with background data off I get 3-5mA whilst with it on I get around 20mA. It doesn't stop you using data, just turns off some unnecessary syncing. Despite the pathetic 1230 mah battery in my HD2, I can easily use it for a whole school day (including music on the way to school and gaming for about 20 mins before registration) and have around 40% left by the end of the day. I charge it every night anyway but it's reassuring to know it can last me that extra day if I need it. Hope this helps
if somtimes play games, music... it's normal but if you sometimes call or sms it's not good
ok
Than what is good?

average like other said..if you dont do nothing but calls and sms and it lasts like that..that would be bad..more use=more battery drain.
Try using wifi as often as possible. Also 3g is a much better battery saver than using WiMAX. Also the Tiamat SBC 4.1.0 kernerl is amazing on saving battery life! And it even works with the ICS roms.
19 hours of battery life sounds reasonable to me considering that the sensation is a dual core phone.
---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------
Oh and by the way I've recently come across articles that actually say recalibrating (wiping battery stats) your battery doesn't actually do much.
I'd rather try to avoid over charging to prolong your battery life (pull out the charger as soon as it touches 100%) and try to use it til you're out of juice instead of constantly charging.

Battery drains has many situation, as little information you provide, it's hard to figure out how and what makes this happened.
Maybe you can check how many apps running on the background, or services still running while shouldn't run.
Or, tell you what, you also can flash your ROM to a stable one like ARHD's rom.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have a problem with CM and Mokee..The battery drops 2% for time (Instead of 1) very often..And i can do only 3 h of active display..In idle the battery doesn't drop down a lot..It can stay also an hour on 100%, but then when I turn on the screen it drops 3-4%..Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Honor 9 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
great device, get 5hrs of SOT under moderate usage
Wow, 8.5h sot is a lot! Maybe I need to check the battery guide out. On the other hand I was playing with the Honor 9 all day because I have it the second day and got 7 hours sot with 5% left. More than enough for me normally!
So, how does it compare to honor 8, is the additional 200mAh makes any noticeable difference?!
That's all I need to know
I think the battery life of the Honor 9 is ok but could be better. I am used to Samsung devices with OLED display technology where you get better SOTs. In my case with my Honor 9 I get around 7 hrs SOT and 1.5 days of usage without charging (with some battery tweaks and screen brighness to 50%). In comparision with my old Galaxy A3 I could reach easily 2 days which was perfect.
If the Honor 9 would have OLED display it would be amazing. Maybe the next Honor will get one, then I definately would buy again.

Yes I use data saver in Chrome. I think it does a good job and it even tells you how much data it saves (in percent). For me it is around 15-25% less data for different websites. Less data exchange means also less battery drop and faster site loading. I would recommend it.

After udate to B130 not very good :/ I cant get more how 6h. Before on Honor 8/B389 I easily take 8h and H8 have 3000mAh and H9 3200mAh battery! No B130 is not good firmware definitely no I thinking about comes back B100...

Good to know that I have waited and not installed the B130 update yet - I am still with B100. When I now check at System Update, I don't find the update anymore. I guess Honor has removed the update?

From what I read, yes it did remove it (mainly because it found a bug or something)
My honor 9 only gets about max. 4 hours of screen time with battery saving on and it doesn't last me a day with average use. I play one game but it's not a heavy one (clash of clans) but only for about max. 30min/day. My battery even drains faster than my galaxy j5 2015 (who is 2 years old) which is dissapointing. I lose about 5-8% battery for Facebooking for 10minutes.
Is there something wrong with my device or is it just my usage?

I get the same thing with my Honor 9 with the same model name. About 4-4.5 hours screen time when doing no power intensive task what so ever. No games. Just some web browsing using Chrome and always using Huawei Battery optimizer with minimal amount of apps running in the background. Location services and accounts syncing is turned off Really happy with everything else about the device..

What should we do with our device?
Should we just wait for updates?

I'm still in time to return my phone to the shop if there are any problems with with or if I don't like it. So I could basically ask for a new phone and give mine back to the phone. Would that solve any issues? Or should we just wait for updates?

I'm happy with the rest of the phone, so I'll keep mine. I just think it's a shame that the battery life isn't better than this on my device, but maybe it can get better with future updates.
Hi,
So, I have been getting really bad battery life for many years now...
Since I got my first OP phone the OP6 I have had this issue.
So first I thought my op6 was faulty, so lately I got myself an op7 pro. But still, on that phone also battery issues.
After that I traded my op7 pro for an s10+, but later I wanted to get back to oneplus so I traded it again for another oneplus 7 pro.
And here I am still with bad battery life.. And with bad battery life I mean like days with 3 hours SOT and like 20% left. To days with 4 hours and like 20%.
But nothing better than that, ofcourse I tried things myself, so I went to oneplus discord server and asked there. Many people tried to help me. We tried custom roms, custom kernels, battery apps like greenify or doze apps. But nothing works, what we did notice tho, that google play services is on the top almost all times. So I tried a day with only whatsapp, but still google play services drain.
If anyone know tips to extend battery life, or setups like XXX Rom or magisk module with XXX kernel. Let me know, anything is possible.
Kind regards,
Crewz
Hey man, I had similar problems with most of my devices, I traded s10+ for op7pro because of that same battery problem. Now it is not as great as other people experience, since I have read that lots of guys go over 9h sot with similar usage as mine... But I am around 6:30 -7:30 sot per 36-48h usage.(on qhd and 90hz)
Since you have tried most of the stuff... I have copluple of suggestions, it looks that problem may be with your network(frequency)/sim or baseband, had on exynos such problem... I would do like whole wipe wit msm tool end downgrade to Android 9, stay day or two and check your battery( you can always upgrade) then try to change an operator if you have other sim, once I had to buy new sim car, because mine was obsolete... See if there are differences without sim card, change sim slot...
One of the last recourses is trying to see if you can install other, change modem/baseband.. I have no idea for op7 pro... Also region settings may have an impact... Eu or non eu rom and so...
One thing that made noticable difference for me is I red somewhere that Hyperion launcher is better for battery and it is... I got better idle with it... Try it.. and best luck

Hey,
So first of all, thank you for the reply and sorry for the late reaction.
I have done a full wipe with MSM before, but I never did go back to Android 9. I need to say tho that I have had bad battery life on that aswell.
It is maybe a good idea to use without sim, but I really need my sim for calls etc. The range is from 4 to 5 bars, so that should be fine I guess.
I am not experienced at all with changing modem / baseband. If anyone here on XDA can help me with that and explain what it actually does, I would appreciate that.
I will give hyperion launcher a go, thanks!
Solution is very simple, do not use warp charge without necessarily exlusions. Use simple charger 2.4 Amper
Just an idea. If this is happening with multiple phones, it might be the quality of signal you're getting from the towers around you. The harder your phone has to work to find signal, the more the battery is going to drain.

Hello. Why you think so? Quick charging just supplies the charging mechanism for the battery with more power, it doesn't change the way the battery itself works or how the power is stored in the cells. It also doesn't change the way the power discharges from the battery.

doesnt make a difference, you can use warp charge without problems. He just gets the bad battery life from his apps, which are syncing all time in the background.

There's a Magisk Module called universal GMS doze. It might help you out with different wakelocks. Also download fk kernel manager he got a couple apps in his battery info area that controls services an wakelocks and also it'll tell idle drain stats. Also in dev options there's a mobile data always on you can unclick that if still nothing helps I'd try turning your mobile data off an see if that's what's draining you

So i want to pull the trigger on a note20 ultra, however i am hearing of terrible battery life across the internet and YouTube reviews.
Has the battery life been improved in recent updates? Or is it still the same?
Since the September update ,the battery life increased a little bit, but not satisfying. 6H of SOT !
I get 6 sot. Keep in mind these phones charge really quick!

Ok here is what you can expect on Exynos:
* 4.5- 5 tops if you are either using the camera or making a lot of phone calls
* 5- 5.5hrs with moderate to heavy use but low on calling and clicking pics/videos
* 6- 7.5hrs in 60hz (again depending on how much you use the camera or call)
This is what I have been getting so far for the last 1 month.
Following is my setup:
* Naptime
* Most of apps are put to sleep
* Screen res 720p
* Optimised and adaptive power
* Email set to fetch every 15mins
* Dynamic display app to control per app refresh rate
This is all an average.. once I even crossed 8hrs but that never happened again.
The battery life is just terrible full stop. I returned my one before the September update but any improvements would be minimal anyway.
In 3 weeks of testing it seems a combination of the processor and display causing the power drain issue. The phone is ok (not brilliant) in standby or listening to music with the display off), but as soon as the display is used you can literally watch the battery percentage dropping. Some say to give it a week for the battery to bed in but that is bollocks.
I replaced the N20 ultra with the N10 plus 5g and it works perfectly out of the box. It has a better display and the battery life is fine.
Please just avoid this handset as it has fundamental issues that are hardware based. Look on the Samsung Europe forums as there are plenty of people complaining on there.

You should be satisfied with 6 hours of SOT with a device like this - that is excellent.

Ugh. No thanks - I'd rather throw it on the charger during the day than cripple my apps/phone. That's like creeping along in your Ferrari to get a few more miles per gallon (litres per 100 KM)...

Well your phone your call.
none of the settings really broke anything.. ur apps will automatically go to sleep if you don't use them for a while.. and I recommend not putting apps you use regularly into sleep anyways.
None of these settings really hinder the use of the phone in any way.
All you are doing is riding the ferrari under speed limits knowing very well that you could always crank it up. ?

Fair enough. And a good reply to my cheeky comment...
I've no complaints with my N20 Ultra but has a Snapdragon soc.
Seems pretty awful for a device over £1000??
My s9 battery is terrible, hence the reason for wanting an upgrade. Seems the note is not much of an upgrade on battery life at this present time.

Hahaha!! Probably does miss the Note 20 Ultra.. The people who are returning their phones so quickly didn't even give the phone a chance and set it up correctly and then they assumed after a week that the battery life was sh!tty but after setting mine up correctly and disabling everything I don't need or use and making sure no apps have access to data in the background and making sure they only use resources when they're actually being used at the moment like the browser I'm using right now for instance if I close out of it, it automatically gets put to sleep and can't use data in the background so it doesn't have much of a reason to run after having done all of that and plenty of other things I'm easily getting 10+ hours SOT and even if I didn't get that much time the phone charges so fast that it doesn't even matter and the phone itself has been getting better and better the more I use it and the more it learns my routine.. I say they gave the phone back too quickly and never even tried!!
I sent my Exynos version back due to some possible signal drop outs but the battery was good to give me a days usage with some change left in the tank.
I now own a Snapdragon N20 Ultra and again it gives a days usage with more change left in the battery.
I charge mine overnight no matter whats left % wise and turn it off overnight too.
A good battery saving tip given to me some years ago was to turn off the battery % sign in the phone's status bar so my eyes are not been drawn to it and just enjoy the phone and charge it when it's needed.
The only thing I miss is the 5x zoom on the camera.
You guys in the US get SD which gives 20 percent more battery than Exynos. I tested it for just under 3 weeks so did spend plenty time with it but never got more than 5 hours SOT on any day. I also had reception issues as Bandofbrothers has already mentioned.
The Note 10 plus battery is significantly better, the display is better and I got it for less than half the price of the N20 Ultra brand new so it's a winner all round.
I love the phone. Once the root bugs are worked out ill be happy. But I have a zero lemon case and it has the 5k mah battery. I get about 2 full days with it. In October they are releasing a 10k mah battery pack. Itll be amazing. I don't mind bulk
No problems whatsoever.
I'm running the N986B Exynos version. I had the option of buying N986F (4G version with Exynos which is available officially by samsung in my country), N986B 5G Exynos or N9860 5G Snapdragon (had an option to import both of these). After a lot of thinking, I went for the N986B version because I wanted more 5G bands to be available, rather than extra battery and performance that came with the N9860.
After a few days of use, I was really disappointed with the battery life, and I started to second guess my decision. But after a week of use, the batter life improved significantly. I think after the device learns the usage pattern, the battery life increases significantly. I think people were too quick to judge (like I was), but imo, give the device a little time to settle.
Sorry for the long post, I felt I needed to provide all the details.
Coming from a Huawei P30 Pro. The battery just sucks on the Note 20 Ultra with Exynos. I have to admit that the battery life on the P30 Pro was just stellar.
With the N20U it's like having a battery 40% smaller (5G disabled because of this). Plus VoLTE doesn't work.
so not worth 1200 then?
