Standby drain - Xiaomi Mi A3 Real Life Review

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Mi A3's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Every morning I check the battery & I get about 2-3% standby drain at max. So it's good enough I'd say.

I get a drain of 10-12% at night

3-4% drain every night even with airplane mode ON, I always get 0-1% drain with MIUI rom

~0.3% per hour when idle (wifi connected, 4G mobile network active)

Disable fingerprint - 1% or 0% at night

20%-30% battery drain in 10h-12h, all APP kill (wifi disconnected , 4G mobile network OFF)
when i try to see what app are doing that, no app appear. comes 100% to 72% and no app consuming battery
use 2 SIM on the phone, stock ROM (Android One)
Some idea to solve this battery drain ?

If your phone is draining more battery for no reason then try banging it at a solid wall, result will be no more battery drain (0%) and no need to charge phone again, feel free ? thank me later

Enable all stats in Gsam battery monitor (with root or ADB) and check kernel wakelocks. It might give a hint.

2% during my bed time without wifi and 4G connections.
In week days, I'm on the laptop so the phone is idle most of the time. It lasts for days.

It's good enough for me , at least 8-10% of drain is there.

Battery drain in note5 pro
There's no battery drain in Note 5 pro.
Sometimes 1% maybe.. sometimes 2% ... I sleep with data and many apps running in background.
I was thinking to buy miA3 but.. 4-5% battery drain is a huge deal?
However battery backuup in miA3 better than realme 3pro, realme5pro or maybe XT but standby drain of 3-4% is bad.

1% overnight with Wifi and LTE on.

Are you disabled fingerprint scanner?

I use fingerprint scanner, but I disabled "Show fingerprint icon when screen is off".

That's amazing. Could you list what apps you have that run in the background?

Blokada, Bitwarden, Slack, Telegram, FB Messenger, Google Fit, Pokemon GO, Gmail, Calendar.

I bought it yesterday (30 Nov 2019), and posted my experience elsewhere in the forum. Just uploading here for reference. Minimal use, no gaming.

[Q] wifi problem and battery problem

Wifi:
My wifi drops when the phone is in stamby for a long time. Example: if I do not use my phone for an hour, wifi drops even if I do not have stamina. Is that normal?
Battery:
My battery is ok. It only slows down too fast when I chat or use kik or whats app. I also noted that the first 10% drains immediately while from the 50% it drains more slowly. Is that normal?
Draining yes,wifi i don't know i had it turnd on all night didn't drop at least i think it didn't...

The wifi is normal as it cuts in and out to save battery life

Overnight battery drain

I am getting an overnight drain of 15-20% with Wifi on
Its unrooted and on stock rom. I am not aiming to root the phone just now.
Mine is Rooted and installed a custom OOS rom. Still I get 10% battery drain overnight even with force doze.
My 2 years old LG G3 drains only 2% or 3% overnight. Same battery capacity.

Yeah, me 2 about 10%. I got everything on, wifi, Bluetooth for the smartwatch and GPS. Sometimes I read people have about 2 to 4 % drain. Even if I turn all the switches off I would not get that.
Also using forcedoze.

Yeah. Wifi and data is always on my device too.. But still 10% drain in sleep is nowhere near good. If somebody has any way to reduce this battery drain please post it here! :highfive:

damn no reviews for this lol im just here letting you guys know that the standby battery is amazing went to sleep yesterday at 12am with 69% of battery woke up today at 7:30am with 67% damn my old lg v20 couldnt do that lol
It's quite bad here with standby drain as well. "Phone Idle" is always on top of the battery usage apps and it's probably a few percent an hour, depending on charge of course. >90% it's 1-2% an hour, but that increases when the charge level drops.
Stock .145 rom with storm//'s hack and have greenify running
Standby drain 0,2-0,4 %/h. locked BL, .145, Greenify.
phone idle coming top 3 with 6% took from 100% in about 4 hours! what could be causing that??
phone idle 4:11 hours
screen time 1:50 hours
36minutes of sniper 3d
7minutes playtube player while screen on (plus 20 minutes screen off)
I am on 57% just after 4 hours of use! while only 1:50 hours of them screen on!
phone idle for 4:11 hours took 6% which is a ratio of (1.5% per hour)
not good at all, what could be the problem??
I tried draining to 0 then charge to 100 on a straight charge while phone is off, phone is factory resetted, locked, not rooted, stock rom .119 oreo
what else can I do here?

I don't know but I have the same issue for months... Usually 2,4-2,8% per hour (when screen off!!) and battery stats not showing anything relevant.
I have everything stock, and I am using Greenify since a ~week, now I have 1,5%-1,8% on standby (which is still a lot, but improved compared to the previous situation).
Is really bad because if I detach my phone at 7 in the morning, at 14 I am already at ~80% without doing nothing! That's also means that using it, specially a lot with maps or things like that, I am not able to go farest than 17-21 :crying:

i noticed that factory reset didnt work for me, neither does software repair
so what I did was, flashed .179 firmware, fresh flashing, wiped every thing!
battery life was almost still the same, it got a lil better.
BUT, I am now using stamina mode any time I dont use the phone much, in my pocket, or even if im slightly using it (whatsapp, instagram etc...), I only turn it off when im gaming or watching some thing which is getting me to lose 1% every 4-6 minutes when using the device, and not losing anything when the device is off (as I activate the stamina mode) this should get me around 6:30-8:00 hours of screen time!
also I noticed I had viberation on navigation buttons, I also had face detection unlock and "ok google" unlock, and google feed and a lot of widgets and a live wallpaper, and avg running in the background.
so I disabled all of these useless features as I really dont use any of them (maybe rarely) and i can feel a slight improvement. (still slight improvement over slight improvement makes a noticeably improvement)
so now I unplugged my device at 17:00 at 90% more or less and now its 22:07 and i still got 56% so in about 5 hours I lost 34% while 2:14 hours, screen was on so its very impressive!
I can get to 6:45 hours of screen use which is very very good! im still testing though.
Nah i know its too late to write this but,.
For you all who have a problem draining battery even at sleep try Greenify Donation Package + Powernap xposed module
Even now my xzp still have sot around 6 hours with 15% battery left. With everything enabled like x-reality, auto brightness, mobile data.
Btw i'm using existenz v10 cusrom + DT2W Kernel

Hello. I've recieved my mobile phone about week ago and there is one problem that annoys me. While the phone has lcd turned off, it drains a lot of energy. For example, yesterday I slept 7h and the battery decreased from 80 to 50%! I've tried almost everything, offline mode, aod off, battery saver mode etc. Any solutions?
Not that much
I think it's a lot ! I've seen many baterry usage screenshots and I was impressed. But mine is some kind of joke. I can't even use my mobile phone often at work because it's dead from 8 to 16, with all options turned off - aod, sync, gps etc. Also with baterry saving mode. Please guys, there must be a way to fix that.

Maybe try and disable bloatware using BK package disabler. It helped for me after disabling a few things
Unfortunately it did not work. I've tried everyrhing..
with only wifi and sync on, battery drains 3% from 11PM to 6AM
4G on
Wi-Fi on
Sync on
Over night From 12 to 8am is 2-3%
Not more.
there's a hundred settings for better battery life, putting apps to sleep, app background data, app data while data saving, notifications, permissions, etc etc etc....
Change network mode to 2G only. You will see standby consumption go from 1-1.5% per hr to .3-.5% per hour guaranteed. Obviously more drain if using always on display and/or other heavy features. Works perfect for me as my s8 is my secondary phone and don't need 4g.
ps. sot currently was like 6 mintues so didnt post screenshot of that, although im able to get around 5-7hrs sot with about 24hrs total use time. Also rom is renovate ice note 8 port ver .1 all stock settings otherwise. Also i got pretty much the same battery runtimes with stock or custom roms. Same usage with lte/3g/2g setting enabled got me nearly 5/6 hrs sot with around 16hrs total usage but really standby was affected by this setting change.

how much would it be with AOD on ?
Snapdragon S8+ rooted.
Not touching the phone, I lose about 10% per hour. A thirty minute drive to work, with Pandora the only app in use, it runs through somewhere between 15-20%. I've tried everything, including telling its mother and using the kitchen sink, but nothing helps. One day we weren't busy at work, and I forgot my charger at home. By 11am I was at 9% (that's after leaving the house at 7:30am) and had to make a run to Walmart for a charger. On a normal day, I have to charge it 2-3 times. On an extreme use day, I have a constant tether.
Not that much
I lose 3% or so over 8 hours of sleep. Make sure you go through your battery management and options to end draining apps when left in the background.
Stock US unlocked S8+
I'm going to leave my S8+ (unlocked) history so that others can relate and solve as i did:
Bought mine with a German ROM (DBT), and as soon i as connected it to Wi-Fi it got updated to QH3 (latest).
Notice immediately a "Android System" drain that would take over almost 50% of phone sleep time. After some days decided to a "Reset / Factory default" but same story, drain ...
Solution ? Flash different region software (PHN - Netherlands - G955FXXU1AQI7 )
Now it sleeps like a baby and "Android System" remains very low.
Imm experiencing huge battery drainage since the new firmware update......no clue why
Oh and my phone is warm in idle and becomes quite hot when doing low intensity tasks such as loading this site
It's too bad

If this true, I may give up to purchase one. I don't like to bring a power sink. And there is not always have a store that I can charge my device.

That's been my, my son's, and several other people's (in the root threads) experience. There are a whole slew of people that have great battery life with root, but mine is abhorrent. I actually went back to stock, and have been astounded how much longer the battery lasts compared to having it rooted.
Use Tasker!

Program Tasker to switch off all internet access, auto sync and wifi and Bluetooth. Once switched on, the phone will regain all functions. In a 12 hour shift, with occasional use, I lose about 20% of battery power.
I like Galaxy S8
This is best phone I every wanted. Galaxy S8 is best device in its own. No one can beat it.

Wow, I think you might want to get the battery replaced under warranty, this happened to me with the first device I got from t-mobile, but after I sent the sucker back and they replaced it, I can go 2 sometimes 3 days (of minimal use since I work on a computer and can text from there) between charges. Definitely holds a charge even under constant use through a night with all that on. Sounds like defective battery to me.

It also depend the room temperature also, almost 8 to 9 Hours is my sleeping time and I don't turn off my WiFi as My mobile connected to the internet always but my battery drop to 7% to 8%(Maximum), Room Temperature is a key point in my point of view. OlehanaVietnam
I'm also agree to you @raheelkhankk98 room temperature also depend.
