Battery drain - Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers

Hi guys. So that's various posts. I have implemented all the settings to save battery.
But is it normal in your opinion that with 1 hour of Facebook I have consumed about 15% of the battery? from 100 to 85%.
Thanks

I was experiencing the same i always had to enable battery Saving mode and it does drain the Battery too much i think what worked for me somehow was permission ruler and a pixel experience rom

Please specify ROM as well as battery usage graph.
I get 13.6 hours SoT on my Poco X3 (India).
Fully stock ROM.

I am using Pixel Experience Plus Rom + Greenify + Permision ruler Somehow permision ruler is very good at saving battery and how do i get that graph but MIUI was very bad at the same conditions

100-85% is not normal. You should lose only about 3-7% in an hour. Unless you are watching a lot of videos inside Facebook.
8-10 hours is normal Screen On Time for Poco X3 NFC so if you are getting that much you shouldn't worry.

Thanks!
Maybe I need to force some updates? I don't want to put a new rom and lose the guarantee. It's new ..

What ?! I am using brand new Poco for like 20 days after years of using Samsungs, last one was Galaxy A6+ and now on poco my SoT barely can hit 5 hours and half with normal use, no gaming, above below brightness.. I need some advices then...

If yours is the NFC version your battery is significantly smaller than the Indian version, so don't expect the same SoT.
NFC = 7-9 Hours SoT
X3 India = 10-13 Hours SoT
Things you can do to get better battery.
1: Disable recommendations in all MIUI bloat. (Open each MIUI system app, press settings, disable recommendations. Some of these are cleverly hidden.)
2: Revoke authoriation of all MIUI apps. (Setrings, Authorization and Revocation)
3: Use 60Hz Display.
4: Use Lite versions of apps especially junk apps like Facebook and Messenger.
5: Keep all apps up to date. One in Play store, and second in System Apps Updater.
6: Use Samsung Browser + Ad Block instead of Chrome.
7: Keep your phone up to date in terms of OS.

I get about the same but i never use WiFi (have no broadband at home) so i have all that disabled, using 4G T-Mobile LTE only. I don't game though, just GPS navigation, email, text, and browse web and some Netflix and i get about 7hrs of screen time, it doesnt match my Moto X4 or G5 Plus at those are whopping 10hrs screen on in the same usage scenarios.
good battery life. not bad not impressive.
use the device from 10am to 6pm.. always 3g on single sim.. on 4/5hours internet facebook,twitter,gaming etc.. 20-30% left ... on 2/3hours usages 55-70 left..
example today i left home at 90% at 1pm.. used it like 1.5 to 2 hours internet(data remain always on 3g even if i dont use) at 4.30pm it was at 70% i came back home at 7pm.. with 60%+ i used around 45minits in between 5-7pm.
I played asphalt 8 (max settings in tokyo) for 40 minutes, and it dropped the battery about 14%. So as I calculated it takes 285.7142857142857 minutes to discharge the phone from 100% to 0%, it means 4 Hours and 46 Minutes! we can play the game straightly.. and accubattery shows we can keep the phone roughly 8 hours with screen on with some gaming, browsing.
Netlat's calculations correspond with my personal usage. :highfive:
5-8 hours of on-screen full usage. Can last a handful of days with lighter usage. Not bad for it's 3,000 mAh battery size.

Huge battery drain on new POCO X3 NFC (12.0.8 QJGEUXM)

I bought POCO X3 NFC 128GB (M2007J20CG). I updated immediately to the latest (12.0.8 QJGEUXM) and then I did "Wipe Data" from the recovery menu to start a fresh set-up.
For the moment, only basic communication and music apps. My previous phone is Mi Max 3 which works perfectly and even 3 years after, it gives me a full day with much usage and many apps installed. I haven't transferred all my data to POCO.
Now on POCO, from the first day I noticed a huge battery drain. I start my day at 09:00 with 100% and it gets to 30% at 17:00.
Battery saving enabled all the time, 60Hz screen, and WiFi-BT-Data-Location only when needed.

I did a second "Wipe Data", I got an update to Android 11 and 12.0.8 RJGEUXM. Wipe data again, new setup. Nothing changed. I waited some days for a "calibration" but nothing.
https://imgur.com/a/AY5rdpR
I don't know if this is normal. I believe it's a faulty device and I am communicating with the chinese store from where I bought it to return it.
1) But before that, is there anything I can do to fix this? If you own a POCO X3 NFC, do you get better battery life?
2) Why "Android System" consumes so much battery and is there a way to trace what's behind this?
3) Also, I'm sure I don't use the screen that much.
Thanks in advance for reading.
Don't have a straight answer for you but, generally and unless you debloat it, MIUI is very ineffective with power and system resources -- in my experience, even trimmed down versions like Xiaomi.eu suffer from this, although they fare a lot better than stock, especially with an alternative kernel like Stormbreaker...
I have a feeling you have a faulty battery.
Considering you've taken every single step including the ROM changes and the factory resets. I have ONE recommendation you can try if you already haven't.
Set up the phone as new. Don't add your Google account or Xiaomi account. Manually copy your data and manually install apps you need. Add your accounts later. I've seen this issue countless times where Cloud Restore absolutely breaks the system with broken settings and apps.
If this doesn't work then you definitely have a defective battery/phone. The NFC version usually is supposed to get 8-10 hours Screen On Time but I've seen as low as 5 on some people's posts.
My Indian unit gets about 11-13 hours SoT depending on what I'm doing... But it's never less than 10.
Please check your device.
All the best.

That is possible, too...
I am now communicating with the store to return it back, but it doesn't seem to be an easy process.
Today, I made a wipe data, didn't install anything, not even my Google account. I only used the phone for calls and SMSs for 1 hour in total. I started at 08:30 with ~90% and now it's 20:30 (just 12 hours later) and I have 66 %. Also I think I lost a huge amount during the night.

General Standby / idle battery drain

Standby / idle battery has been terrible. I've googled and barely found anything on this issue. The first time I activated the phone it was google play services near the top. Did a factory reset and I've been using since.
Battery drain is worse when no data / wifi is connected. If I connect to wifi , battery drain is less. A step below having airplane mode. I hate charging the phone to 85-100% just for it to drop considerably over 12-24 hours. I've gotten between 2-4 hours of Screen on time but I feel like it should average 5 hours atleast if I use the phone moderately.
Would betterbatterystats help in this situation?
Goggle Backup Transport or other cloud apps running in background.
Best to an adb edit or package disabler to kill it.
In lieu of doing the above or in conjunction, temporarily disable Google play Services when not needed like at night.
I had a similar problem, lowering the brightness level in the settings helped a little. I also recommend using Wi-Fi in places where it is available instead of 4g, which is much more energy-consuming and disable all background applications that are not needed at the moment. If it doesn't help, only useful solution to change the battery, if it's possible.
Here's an update . Fully charged battery and just let it idle. Google play services running for 11 hours

Mine does it as well. After night (6-8hrs) drop about 4%, disabled network and 5G, no changes with airplane mode, another flip also has this problem, battery drain does not occur when device is off

You do realise that battery "drain" over those 11 hours was 0.2%
That's tiny in the grand scheme of things .. or am i missing something?

As long as other play services dependencies like Backup Transport didn't suck down a huge amount during that time...

Check out the app called "don't kill my app"
Also check out there website. It will help... probably

First of all you shouldn't be charging to 100% ever. There is an option to stop at 85%. Enable it then use package disabler or adb to stop tons of background garbage.

Question Battery drain problem (arrowos 11)

I think I'm having some battery drain problems on my Poco X3 Pro.
I've had the phone for 4 months, in December I installed ArrowOS 11, and it had a battery life of about 8hr screen time with wifi, social media, youtube, etc.
After installing an arrowos OTA I think I have seen a degradation in my battery life, now I do not reach 7 hours of screen. And at night it goes down to about 7% in idle. I charge my phone to 100 and let it run down to around 2-3%, I know this reduces battery life but in only 4 months? I have forgotten a couple of times and left it charging overnight, if that, it would have been 2-3 times in all those months. According to Accubattery I have a 90% battery life, I feel that it goes down a lot, but I don't know how reliable it is.
the last picture is from 1 month ago, before installing the OTA update.

Any solutions? Have the same problem
Battery usage can vary from many factors, and not always is about the ROM.
Your usage from the apps are not always the same, and also, apps can be updated to - not always in a good matter of things...
A drop from 8 to 7 hours of SoT is, in reality, nothing. Is inside of the range of values to be expected. The ROM update could have been just a coincidence.
Most of the times, users don't see difference in they activity on the device, but it may be something simple as use the screen in environments with a little more light - and Auto Brightness activated - leading to more bright screens... or just use in general.
still, is a great SoT in both ways. nothing to worry about - and don't panic with such range of SoT, is normal.
With the amount of social apps and crap you have running in the background, ni wonder you drain battery during idle time. Those apps wakelock the device while they connect and do their thing in the background. I have attached my overnight battery loss, with the apps I have installed ( including social stuff like Telegram, Whatsapp, Viber and mail client ).
So, you see, it's not about the ROM... it's about the crap you fill it with. And read up on app broadcast intents. By tweaking those, you can achieve miracles in battery saving.

General Please post your Accubattery stats for 7 series

I know that it could be a little early to do this, but it would be interesting to gather some info and then compare it after a week to check if adaptive battery really kicked in.
My unit is already delivered, but I'll be able to get it in my hands on Wednesday, but after that certainly I am going to post some data.

Not sure what numbers you're lookin' for, but here's part of mine just since yesterday when I rooted and reinstalled everything.
-- deleted --
Terribly disappointed so far...
It's definitely too early to be definitive but I don't have any complaints about my 7 Pro as it stands now. Screen off is high because I'm in a low signal area (the basement at my partner's place) and I actually think it's less than my OnePlus 9 was in the same location.

Are you on data or wifi for most of this usage? Do you have everything turn on like AOD, 5g...?
I don't use Accubattery, don't like the UI. Here are mine from yesterday in GSam, which have been pretty typical in my first week of owning the phone.
Here's my 7 pro, i was like 90% on wifi.
Mostly browsing reddit, some camera use and maybe 30mins of gaming.
Adaptative battery charging is weird, but does the job (it's working even you disable it in settings). Charging limit -> 75%. Current estimate is 97% based on 21% charged. Current battery wear since arrived =0.93 cycles => 353% charged summary.
For comparison my op nord (1) based on 27months of monitoring battery wear. (Charged_limit = 80% since 1st day)
ps. satisfacted with this upgrade af - p7p brick.. i have waited for you so long till now \_(^^)_/

I can't seem to get GSAM to work after doing the ADB command to get more stats. How did you get yours to work?
Starting third day with P7 Pro, numbers are going up.
Idle drain better than on P6, screen on worse, on P6 had 7-8% drain per hour on Wi-Fi, but P7P is draining 10-12% with same brightness.

I just installed it normally, didn't touch adb.
After 8 days, mostly Wi-Fi, 120hz, 1440p, adaptive brightness, GPS, bluetooth 24/7 with GW4:

			
				
posting these without the settings people have is pretty useless btw.
My accubattery says I should expect 8 1/2 hours of SoT but I'm getting less than 4 today with normal usage 95% on wifi. Doesn't seem to mean much. 1440p, 120hz, auto brightness on.
95% WiFi usage
1080p
Smooth Display off (60hz)
Auto brightness on

			
				
I'm heavy phone user, much tasks and apps.
