Miui 11 battery? - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

I'm on miui 10 i. I didn't update to miui 11 because of bad comments on miui 11. People say it's worse than miui 10(about battery drain). Is it true or not. Do you guys suggest me to update or not? I get 10 hours screen on time on miui 10 how is it on miui 11!?

Working fine for me.

It's about the same, if not better than MIUI 10. Take the update, it has security improvements and other fixes.

Update, if you're planning to stay on MIUI. Battery looks better to me, other than having newest security patches.

Yes, i can confirm miui 11 does drain battery fast than 10:crying: (updated for a few days now)

Battery drain on all custom roms

I'm new to Xiaomi mi max 32Gb. At the moment, I'm running MIUI 9 global 8.2.24 beta and the battery life is fantastic, 11 hours of SOT, but every time I flash a custom roms the battery drain is crazy, 5 hours of SOT. I have tried a couple of custom roms but it's always the same. I get about half of battery life in any custom roms. Is there something that I'm doing wrong
same as mew , more SOT in miui than Other non miui custom rom.

You should install:
-greenify:Restrict background apps activity
-app opsisable (location+keep phone awake+kee app in background) for all apps
-betterbatterystats:shows you what drains the battery
-run battery saver mode
-install custom kernel
when i first bought this phone and used miui i charge every 3 days. with custom rom and greenify, every day. so up to you. u want long battery or custom rom

Which costume ROM's?
Stable unofficial LineageOS (nijel8) out of the box gives 11~12h of SOT while stable global MIUI 9.5.2.0 gives 5 to 8 h SOT.
This is normal use without heavy gaming of course.

I tried stable unofficial lineageOs nijel8 and had only 5 sot, also tried pixel experience and was all the same with 5-6 sot then went back to MIUI 9 and I'm back to 11 sot

Well obviously you did something wrong. With more costume scheduler settings people where getting & up to 17h of SOT (but that whose with rather extreme approach) on unofficial LineageOS 14.1 with light usage all well documented on power/performance thread. Had a guy with similar problem as you around month ago, his problem turned out to be a binary leftovers from dirty flashes of different costume ROM's. After he did it properly thing's changed. The name of user whose arbitrarygrill, read couple of pages back.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3529851/page436
& you can always get more with costume scheduler/hotplug script's. Prime concern whose to match good old MIUI 8.2 - 8.3 SOT out of the box but with much better performance & without MIUI limitations (background apps/services aggressive killing) which we achieved in all arias mostly by working on kernel which Xiaomi never did & it's a source of most firmware problems today. Fun part is that 90% of back supplementary settings & libs are the same today; Xiaomi uses CAF settings & libs across the board (same as our unofficial Lineage is) and unofficial LineageOS uses the vendor libs from MIUI aside from ROM (apps) side only general difference is the kernel for which I vouch that our works much better & is safer.

Kernel is already semi costume, only a couple of things are added that are really beneficial as FIOPS IO scheduler & are set as defaults.

Android Oreo in 2019

Hello everyone,
Just curious to know if we have Oxygen os builds available for Oreo in 2019. Would like to rollback to Oreo but don't want to lose android security patches.
Android pie is working fine. But really miss the brightness levels and camera was better in nougat and Oreo compared to pie. Battery was the top in nougat easily got 6-7 hours screen on time with enough battery left for the day and with Oreo it was the best 8-8.5 hours.
Not complaining about pie. Can get through the whole day with moderate use and 20-30% left in evening. Just sharing my experience so far with 5t.
I would like to try nougat or Oreo if there are any versions available with latest android security patches.
Apologies if this has been already asked somewhere and answered. I went across XDA and OnePlus forums, Plz let me know if anyone is running Oxygen os with nougat/Oreo at the moment. Thanks!!
No OOS oreo/nougat builds with latest security patches

I dont see any decrease in battery life in pie. More likely your battery degenerated over time or some apps or background services drain it.
Go hunting for it with logcat or betterbatterystats
Try custom ROMs

Yes...custom roms are totally worth it, Since I have multiple work apps installed at the moment. a bit concerned on how they will work under root. Just sharing my usage logs with a comparison between Oreo and pie
The first set of screenshots are from moderate day usage in Oreo back in 2018 which has mixed usage of social apps and gaming
The second usage is from current stable 9.0.6
Not sure if everyone is getting similar battery life between Oreo and pie in moderate usage throughout the day.
I feel the 10-15% difference with battery left at end of day cause a big change still I get to manage throughout the day in pie.
Compared to Oreo from these random usage screenshots, pie is getting worse day by day. Maybe it's the battery that gets degraded over time or its the overall phone hardware that runs round the clock for us
I have this feel almost with every device, Samsung galaxy 5, Xperia neo v and also back in opo. Android kitkat had best battery and lollipop had a moderate and with marshmallow it got worse.
Just sharing my opinion and also curious to know if y'all out there feel the same.
Edit : Would like to add all these usage were taken in locked bl running unrooted
No need for root , just flash a custom rom and then enjoy ,for me comparing to Oreo pie has good SOT , AND im a heavy Gamer so cant help with battery stats :silly::laugh:
Still many custom ROMs works good in SOT with a custom kernel too.

Hmm yeah.. planning to give it a try. Been sticking with stock unroot most of times since I got 5t. Had it unlocked and under root for few weeks back in January due to shutter sound bug. Since it got fixed moved to stable.
I could see many custom roms are available to try.
Any tips on choosing custom rom, I mainly look for Oxygen os camera and good battery. How's OOS open beta holding up compared to stable pie in terms of battery.

Android 10 - MIUI 11 | *FINALLY* Now starting to roll-out in Europe.

Just recieved the MIUI 11 update ~30 mins or so ago. Seems to be just MIUI 11 and not with Android 10 as topic suggested. My bad :s
Anyway, initial thoughts are that its smooth and without any issues so far.
Any issues for anyone so far?
Sweden - 2019-11-01
Also received in Germany.
Unfortunately still only Widevine L3 I had hopes....

Is that so? To be totally honest with you, for some reason I've had some unusual batterydrains since last patch/update before MIUI 11 and I can agree on it not becoming better yet. Allthough I'm thinking of a reset and check the system afterwards.
Just clean cache from Google play services. Know problem that no one seems to be bothered to fix.
You can correct the title for this thread so that it doesn't make people think that Android 10 is out. I do think that the Xiaomi.EU Android 10 ROM is solid.
Are we not getting 10 at all? Or will it come later?

It will come later
Can confirm that the Xiaomi.Eu MIUI 11 Android 10 rom is pretty solid, came from Pixel Experience with weird battery drain issues even on a clean flash, all good on MIUI 11 (Android 10) with battery optimisation disabled for the usual apps.

Battery comparison as of 02.Jan 2021

So first of all, happy new year everyone!!
Compared to stock rom, does the battery life fares better with the custom roms released so far? Did you get more SOT hours with a custom rom compared to stock rom?

Up to rom and kernel.
Some can get 9-11 SOT with stock rom and custom kernel.
Custom rom usually add more SOT. I can reach 14-16 SOT hours easily with no gaming. And my normal daily usage is around 10 hours.
I used device from July 2020.

I've been complaining about battery drain with WiFi on for a long time. If you search the forum you'll see my nagging.
The problem started either with MIUI 12.5.x or Android 11. MIUI 12.0.x with Android 10 Custom ROMs don't have the WiFi battery drain.
I haven't tried Android 12 Custom ROMs yet, so I don't know how the battery is with it. Currently I'm using the latest version of https://crdroid.net/begonia/6.
I need at least a few more days to be sure how it goes.

MIUI 12.0.x doesn't have battery drain with WiFi On, but I can't stand its interface.
Using an old version of a Custom ROM (MIUI 12.0.x based on Android 10) is an alternative, but be prepared for SafetyNet to be broken.

Well, I haven't used any phone with their stock launcher, so maybe that's why I don't mind it. And stock miui 12, with a nova launcher, and some pixel themes from the store does makes the phone ui overall better

After using this for a while the WiFi battery drain doesn't happen on this ROM.

Best Stable ROM

Hi!
can anybody confirm which android version is more stable & featurefull among 10-12?
I'm currently using Android 12, but i want more stability & fluidity in my device.
Thanks in advance!
I personally thought that Android 10 was better than Android 11 which was noticeably slower and while Android 12 is buggy, the battery life is way better than it was previously so I just stick with 12. Getting over 4 hours SoT from 65% of the battery (I charge at 20%, take off charger at 85%) is great, and on days I actually charge to 100% because I know I'll be out of the house, 7 1/2 to 8 hours is possible.
I'm running stock FW, Android 12, always updated. And, I just notice I didn't received updates since 5 october. Well, end of life of my Pixel 3.
I can confirm battery drain, but for security reason, I stayed with stock updated.
Now, it's another story.
Thanks for the infos @EtherealRemnant.
Any advise for any Rom or you stay on Stock?
Sorry OP, if I disturb your post with my demand or if it's out of subject.
Thanks
