Huge battery drain on new POCO X3 NFC (12.0.8 QJGEUXM) - Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers

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.

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.

[Q] Afraid I bricked my Milestone, is it possible to undo it?

Hello XDA-members,
I hope you can help me, I've been browsing this forum for quite a while now and I actually am rather optimistic looking at the high amount of leet tweakorz populating this place :> Shouldn't cheer too early though.
I've got some details which might be required in order to analyse the situation.
About a week ago, I downgraded to stock Milestone EU ROM 2.1, coming from the G.O.T. 2.2.1 custom rom, due to the power drainage which I thought was the price of the custom ROM.
I browsed around the interwebz in order to find a custom froyo rom not sucking ma powaz, but in fact I found out that the power drainage could be caused by failing to clean out the cache (including dalvik, etc) before flashing a custom rom. So, before I installed the stock ROM, I made sure I properly did this, after the installation I cleaned it again and then installed the G.O.T. 2.2.1 again , through the new OpenRecovery v2.0.1. Rooted it, installed the custom theme they included with the ROM, and overclocked it to I think 800 Mhz.
After this, everything worked fine for about 1,5 weeks, although I noticed it started to suck power again (60% gone in a night of a nice, cozy, sleepy rest without any applications, wi-fi or 3g connection on background), so I did something incredibly stupid. Still a bit sleep-drunk, I went into the openrecovery menu and cleaned the cache, dalvik and (I think it's) clear settings.
After rebooting, I noticed the theme that GOT included was replaced for the standard layout for froyo. Also, the device was barely responding to my commands, for about 5 minutes. I rebooted it, and after about a minute of processing it worked fine.
I didn't get to know if this was actually increasing battery life again, because I went to sleep yesterday night with the phone having about 40%, and this morning I woke up and the phone was empty (at least, so I thought). A few hours ago I connected it to the charger, later I found that the phone wouldn't power up anymore. It simply doesn't react to the power button, screen doesn't show power or anything. I also tried power button in combination with x, or camera, but both methods didn't do anything as well.
So, that was it. Maybe those were a bit too much details. TL;DR: I installed a custom rom, cleaned out all the cache, and my phone won't start up anymore. I hope anyone knows this problem, and possibly a solution?
Thanks for reading, Bullehr
Men i have the same problem with my girlfriend milestone .
Try to take out the battery for a minute and then put it back again, that's do the trick for me .
Sorry for my English it's not my native language
The problem generally is given by the fact that the phone needs some power to "boot" in power charging mode. What you need is a second battery, or a little trick to charge the battery...

[Q] How to eliminate GTALK_ASYNC_CONN wakelocks?

I have a Nexus S 3G, and installed bone-stock, and got it to idle for 3 days 19 hours, give or take.
I wanted to try CyanogenMod, installed the latest stable (7.1), disabled Data Syncing, have a single GMail account, no apps installed and lose about 2-3% per hour battery life sitting still. I'm using the GladDOS 1.8 Kernel, which is what I used to get the 3 day idle before.
BetterBatteryStats shows that I have 11m23s of GTALK_ASYNC_CONN partial Wakelocks (this is over a 1 hour time period).
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Talk, and still get the Wakelocks.
I'm going to re-install stock and re-verify stock idles fine.
Any ideas? I've searched high-and-low, and it appears it's a known issue, but I've yet to stir up an answer.
Anyone?
Thanks!
-Dan
I know its been a few weeks guys and apologies for pulling this back up but i suppose its better than starting a new thread.
I have pretty much the exact same problem as plymptop above, i installed betterbatterystats and after only 2 hours its chewing through battery power and pointing to GTALK_ASYNC_CONN"my email address" /android_talk etc and beside this it says "Count: 94.
I had my phone returned to stock 2.3.3 a week or so ago and this wasnt a problem but it seems no matter what custom rom i install, i still get high battery consumption. Anything from 6-12 hours with little or no use.
Anyone got any pointers on what i can do to correct this? Thanks in advance.

Android System draining battery on lollipop, but only under wifi

the title says almost everything. I updated to last cmos12 release, flashed again, clean flashed again, wiped everything and fastboot super clean flashed again. nothing. Android system drains the battery on par with display. i have approx 3 hours cpu uptime for android system in a discharge cycle. but this behaviour simply disappears if i don't use wifi and only rely on mobile connectivity. ofc i have better battery stats and wakelock detector installed, so please ask me for things you need to help me understand and troubleshoot the issue and i'll provide them.
thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem, although I'm not working on a rooted phone. Working on LTE goes ok, but the moment I switch on wifi the phone gets very very hot and drains the battery. Other than 'Android system' I cannot see any other process draining.
no hot phone for me. i get lots of wakelocks but they're 1-2 sec each so nothing to worry about. the phone deepsleeps well too. but those 3 hours of cpu uptome for android system drive me crazy.
any suggestion out there ?
Most likely it is a bug from Cyanogen os 12.
As it is still an initial build, I think you will get a more stable build in near future.
I will suggest you to check the following option under wifi > advanced settings > keep wi-fi on during sleep option.
I have this set as always.
If you have the same then you can try with the other options.
tried but ofc i need data connection while sleeping and relying on mobile data is more power consuming so no, wifi has to be always active during sleep ^^

Try this, it worked for me. Wifi settings seemed to be the problem. Changed the frequency from 'automatic' to '2.4 Ghz only' in the advanced wifi setting.. Now all Normal. I almost returned the phone thinking of a hardware issue.

Terrible idle battery drain!

I have a terrible battery drain when my phone is idle. Tried everything, but nothing solved it. Ever since Lollipop I have this issue.
Clean flashed MM and still nop. Flashed ElementalX 6.04 yesterday which still couldn't solve it. This is frustrating :crying::crying:
I have disabled everything too. No Wifi, data, bluetooth, location...etc (My phone is not a smart phone anymore)
Only adaptive brightness is enabled.
Yesterday I fully charged and went to sleep to find out it has drained 28% after a 7 hours sleep. Removed all the unpopular apps (suspicious apps) as well. BetterBatteryStatus says my phone has been in DEEP SLEEP throughout the whole time too.
Please give me a solution

How old is your phone?? You might need to replace the battery. Especially you've already done everything from kernel, to clean flash to disabling apps and settings
your bstats also tells no abnormality? how about its partial wakelocks? can you post those so we can check it out?

According to BBS my phone has been in deep sleep throughout the whole time. I'm assuming its the battery, I need to replace it may be.
I charged my phone again. I will post partial wakelocks too in few hours time.
Thanks alot
Even though it may not make a huge difference but you can try draining the battery out to 0 (until the phone can't stay on even after a force power on) and a full charge (30 mins to an hour overcharging after you see full battery indicator).. Gluck.
I replaced my battery, I was getting hard reboots as well. But wow with a new battery and marshmallow my nexus is like a new device.
99% no or unknown signal.
That could be the cause of your drain, when the phone has no signal or poor signal it will use a lot of battery to keep the connection alive. Set aeroplane mode on

Battery drain

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.
Screen on time
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 Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC before depleting the battery. Then, drop a...
forum.xda-developers.com
Read the comments here and see how the different versions stack up. Also you can see average usage of other people who are getting anywhere between 5-13 SoT.
With the right settings they can make it go to 10 Hours. All the settings are given by each person and what they used to improve battery.
