Screen on time - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review

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 Mi Mix 2S before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

With the latest EU rom (8.4.12), I got around 8.5 hours to do the web surfing through wifi (no video, audio) with the auto brightness about 50%.
Hope it helps.
I lost about 1% battery for every 5.3-5.6 minutes to be precised.

If you use it all the time you get 5-7h SOT easily, however if you don't use it much you get around 4h because (at least for me) there's always some drain on latest china rom. I have to wait until the bootloader is unlocked to test it with xiaomi.eu or global rom

I have problems with latest EU rom (8.4.28) which based on China Dev 8.4.26, my phone become unbearable lag and slow down.
They did something wrong with 8.4.26 kernel....

Try rolling back to 8.4.12, I've heard it's much more polished overall.
BTW, battery life on official Xiaomi Global ROM is beyond fantastic, I'm straight shocked.

With the latest Chinese ROM I was getting the usual 5-6h of SOT with exactly the same setup as I have now with the Global ROM.

Nice, I'm currently on China rom and getting 5-7h, looking forward to global rom now

Hi, anyone using the global edition, where the unit is not pre-flashed by vendors? just wondering how the battery life is compared to the mix 2, oneplus 6 and p20 pro.
GSM arena currently shows the mix 2s as having really bad battery endurance. but im assuming that was the china rom. Anyone can validate?

You seen the screenshots above your post?

First cycle.. very good. hopefully it will be better. Coming from huawei mate 10 to oneplus 5t to mi mix 2s. Love ips lcd display.

Battery has been great, not much of a mobile gamer so i believe i'm a moderate user. So far between 8 to 9 hours of sot in 35 to 40 hours cycles.

Same here, but I've never got more than 6h SOT with 24h usage

I don't game much, the heaviest use i gave it was the camera. No NFC, bluetooth or gps. Just regular use,like 2 to 3 hours of YouTube, Facebook, watching movie or anime and lots of web browsing get me 8 hours at least on every charge.

Hi, I've had my Mi Mix 2s for a couple months now. I have the 256gb variant, still rocking the chinese rom. Max screen on time I get with the phone is 3 and a half/ 4 hours.
Judging from other people's reviews thats much lower than average. So I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to try improve it? Does the global rom help improve it?

I'm with Global rom miui 10 beta and battery is bad I get max 5h of use and even before with miui 9 it was not great also. Great phone all good except the battery at least for me coming from OnePlus 5 and 5t.

How is the battery lately, in the most recent updates?

I'm also a power user and I have to say I've gotten 8 hours SOT. When I got this phone I used the daylights out of it. Email social media, YouTube, web and couldn't kill this thing. I agree low light pics aren't good but I do like the camera otherwise. I would have liked to have seen the price around $500 seeing how great the Axon 7 is at $400.

Could you please tell me about the camera lens? I mean to ask about the tiny scratches on the camera lens after usage of a week or two, these scratches are only visible under the light when camera lens is facing the light source. please update about it.
WHY?!
Help me. I am almost sure that my battery drains so much after update to B138 and not physical battery defect. Please convince me. Am I right?

It does, more than B126, but in my experience it will settle after a while. Probably just reindexing for the first couple of days.

HI,
Im struggling to understand how one is able to attain a SOT of even more than 4 hours. Could the signal strength be a factor for SOT?
I dont have bluetooth turned on nor wifi with automatic screen brightness, i barely get passed 3 hours. Heck, i dont even have the facebook app on the phone.
Please enlighten me on how you have managed to get an SOT of 8 hours. Thanks!:cyclops:
Other than the lock screen issue, the other two are just nitpicking, in my opinion.

When I play a movie either on facebook or youtube and receive a phonecall, I can hear very loud in the headset at the same time the caller and the movie sound. It also happens with google maps. Does any of you have this issue?
was hoping this device would drop to 500. I just can't justify 600 for a huawei.

Great video, disagree entirely with battery. This is the first phone EVER, that I do not have to charge before bedtime. Real life use. Everything else including the Samsungs will need a charge early evening at least. This one, never.
I agree about the screen... I'd have liked 2k.

That is so true even in my case. I use my phone like usual and I get 3-4 hours of SOT. Last night I went to bed, it was on 16%, so I put it on charge.
I am surprised when people around me talk about 6-7 hours of SOT. Makes me wonder, if my battery is bad, or perhaps I need to reset my phone and start again.
By the way, this is within a week of buying the mobile. I never saw more than 4 hours before last night.
I must say battery life is great . I am a heavy user too n I do not disable any stuffs except GPS ( enabled it only when needed). My MINIMUM SOT is consistently 9 hours . With greater usage of wi-fi 10-11 hours. Is quite similar to my other mi mix with higher capacity battery. These are similar SOT with Mate7, Mate8.
As comparison these are other SOT on my other phones I had used : s7e 6-7, one plus 3t 5-6, V20 5-6, iPhone 7+ usage 11-12

Camera at low light could improve further, it have some software issues.
If noticed that when battery low, the phone throttles graphics and cpu performance, i hope it will be resolved.
Also typing with swiftkey doesn't feel smooth as with my s7e, it has some delays, sometimes though it works fine.

Le Pro 3 and Nougat

Hello. Because LeEco released 2017's version of our phone on Marshmallow, we shouldn't expect Nougat soon. Witch one custom ROMs are as good and stable as stock, but debloated and lasts longer on battery? Any pro tips and good guides for first time rooting? Should i make sth like TWRP image? x720, looking for Nougat ROM. How to not void warranty?

Thank you,
From what I see there will be 2 phones, the Le Pro 3 2017 (snapdragon 835) and the Le Pro 3 AI(mediatek). One article says they will come with nougat, the other says with MM. We better wait for an official statement/release instead of speculate with leaks.
It's official. If you dont belive, look there;
http://cn.lemall.com/cn/sale/sjxp411.html?ref=m:index:227
Next you should go there;
http://www.lemall.com/product/products-pid-GWGMS30056-n-9940.html
And the second tab is specification. In Chinese version of website, you can see "EUI5.9(基于Android6.0)". So, still Marshmallow. If you want more about it, please use translators like Google's.
Then you should have shared those links first.
Anyway, I dont think this is a "new" Le Pro3, just an updated Pro 3, maybe we will see a Le Pro 4 later this year running Nougat out of the box and OTA for Le Pro 3, S3 and Le Pro 3 AI

And for your question, there will be no Nougat rom as stable as stock rom, and do not even think about getting the same battery life. If you want to try any of the great roms we have go to the Roms section of the forums, there are some guides to unclock bootloader (doing it will void your warranty), and falshing guides. Good luck.
Umh, I heard about locking bootloader, to return warranty. And my battery life now is like 3-4h SOT in 1-2 days of soft usage (definitely have to reinstal ROM). Custom ROMs, witch is tested by community can develop faster.
For me, I tested 99.99% of the Nougat based ROMs and the maximum of SOT I got is 5H with moderate usage. As for stock based ROMs, they allow me to arrive at 9H max of SOT with moderate use (gaming, movies, whatsapp, messenger, ...).
There is no doubt : stock based ROMs are better in autonomy than all the others...
So, on Nougat, I'll get .. 2h SOT? On 14 nm, 1080p and 4070 mAh? Umh... Joke?
Stock 5.8.21s gives about 6-8 hours SOT under heavy usage and has the best sustained performance.
I am just using these tools (Power Toggles, Fingerprint Quick Action, AcDisplay and Simple Control) to mimic stock Android experience plus Android Pay of course.
Multi-window support is of course missing. =D

Umm I get way more battery life on nougat roms than I used to get on stock rom. I used to get 4h sot on stock rom vs 5-6 hrs sot on any of the nougat roms.

You're getting a good battery life on stock. Is this with background resources control enable or not? Background resources control play a key role in getting a good battery life.

23s gave me few hour longer SOT. As I had thought, it was bug. In my country (at Polish forums) everybody say, that stock EUI is really bad and it is basis to get custom ROM. But the most votes are on Stock. It is weird, isn't is?

No Problems with the Chinese Rom.All Languages on it and the most China Apps can uninstall or deactivate.The Phone works fine,i am very happy with it.And there is no differenz without Lte Band 20 and H+ Internet Speed.With my wifes Phone with Band 20 is 18 Mbps und the Note 10 15 Mbps with same Network and same Tarif.

i'm still not sure whether lack of band 20 is deal breaker for me. I live in a small city and B20 is very probably what's used here.

How are you satisfied in general? with camera and battery life? is the super night mode available on it? (the one that was advertised with p20 pro, if you know what i mean)

Hi,
Have the phone for some days now.
Love it and I think that everything about it is simply amazing... Except one thing : battery life.
The stand by drain is stellar. 100% after 6 hours. Can't be better. And that with Display always on turned on !!!
But as soon as display is active and some slightly more demanding apps are running, battery is melting like snowflakes in summer in Florida !
I'd say under these circumstances SoT will be about 9 or 10 hours... Which is what I'd expect from a 4k or 4k2 battery but not a 5000mAh...
It's not bad really, just a little disappointing ???
EDIT : I confirm that battery life is a real disappointment ! I think with medium use you can't get more than 7/8 hours SoT...
This is to be expected from a phone with 4k mAh battery but I hoped for at least 11 hours from a phone with 5k mAh battery
I guess this will not stay and will be replaced with something else probably a Xiaomi mi max 3 : less performance but people reporting up to 17 hours SoT !
And at least some development and living forum... This seems simply dead

I thought I am the only one with this issue...With auto brightness turned on, it's showing that the estimated battery life left is 2 days 20 hours left after a full charge...Also it's taking like 5+ hours to charge the battery to 100% using the stock charger & cable...I saw battery charging tests on YT & I saw people easily managing to fully charge it in about 1:50 hours so I don't know wth is happening in my handset...Mine is completely new, just a few days old...Can be a firmware issue too...I will wait for the next firmware update & see...
Hi,
Good luck...
As far as I am concerned, I have given up the Honor Note 10. Here are the reasons why :
- zero support from manufacturer... a firmware update every 3 months, but probably none anymore after the third or fourth update ;
- Honor's stupid policy about not allowing to unlock the phone ;
- the result : zero developer interest for this device ;
- dead XDA forum (last post except yours was like 52 hours ago) ;
- people in this channel only supporting EMUI and discouraging any attempt to install anything else on the device...
So I switched to the XCiaomi mi Max 3.
Of course, not the same powerhorse as it only has SD 636, but that is enough for my needs...
And easily unlocked ; Xiaomi releasing a new ROM (beta or stable) every week/month ; devs working to port LAOS to it ; nice people in the XDA forum...
So despite this all, if anyone is interested in buying a Honor Note 10 8/128, I'm selling it
Regards.

Make sure you do a factory reset & set the Pie from Scratch like a new phone...If you have installed it over Oreo without a factory reset, the performance may not be that smooth as some left-over files from Oreo may slow-down your system...Doing a factory reset will improve your battery run time...Mine did...
Before making factory reset, don't forget to do a full system backup using HiSuite...

I got the Supercharger in the box when I imported it from China but because of some Firmware issues, I was not getting the Supercharging speed...At first I thought maybe the charger is bad or slow but then I checked it & it was indeed a Supercharger with 5A...Then I thought maybe my Type C cable is bad...I kept trying & trying but was not being able to get SuperCharging out of it...I was also about the buy a spare SuperCharger but the last official 165 Oreo FW solved my issue automatically...Now my stock charger also completes the charge within 2 hours...And shows SuperCharging always, when I plug my phone to the stock charger...
Using the Ampere app from Playstore, I checked the charging amp & it still varies between 2800-3300 Amp though...I may buy the Spare SuperCharger later just to check if I can get 4000-4500+ Amp charging speed which atleast I should be getting from a 5A charger but since the current charger is doing it's job under 2 hours, I am not much bothered about buying another charger...Maybe later...

Xiaomi Mi A1 Android 9.0 Treble Port - Kernels Comparison

As you all know the final version of Android 9.0 (PR) was recently ported to Xiaomi Mi A1 by taking advantage of Project Treble. Although there are more than one Kernels out there with Treble support, there is no thread to actually compare them. So if you have tried this port, please write down your experience with the Kernel you used.
Iam using the Custom Rom Treble non OC Kernel from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/kernel-extreme-kernel-1-0-mi-a1-t3769702
With that i get the most Battery life out. About 2 Day´s without charging and mostly reading News, Texting with Whats App, and Listening much Music.
So not much intensive and no Gaming.
Last Charge was before 16 hours and 5 Days are left, because i do nothing with the Device =P

Android Pie and this why he ask what Kernel are good for this one and you only can use Pie with Treble .
But back to SOT it is now 54min. Last charge was 41 hours ago and i have left about 1 Day and 17 hours :fingers-crossed:
So next charge maybe at least 20% in the next evening.
My personal best from now on is eXtreme! Been using Moun on Oreo and on Pie, after using eXtreme for few days, difference was quite noticeable so imho eXtreme is the best kernel for balanced/battery life when tuned properly!

What did you use to tune eXtreme and what settings do you have? I'm really curious!

Oh, I'm currently on 8.1 Liquid Remix ROM and honestly don't remember what exactly I tweaked. I've used Kernel Adiutor, changed few thing regarding CPU, disabled Fsync, enabled one CPU when screen is off, Schedule workqueues on awake CPUs, that much I can remember. I am not heavy user, just listening music on Youtube Vanced app, using social media apps, browsing the web with Brave etc... Getting 2 days without charge with 5-6hrs of sot and about 10% battery left.
Right now I didn't change anything on Liquid Remix and battery life is still amazing compared to Moun or Mint kernels. eXtreme just gives great results without tweaking anything

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 Mi 9 SE before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Hi guys. I am considering buying this phone as I love compact phones for which there are very few options available at the moment.
If the guys who own the device could kindly post the average SOT on daily usage it could be really helpful for people like me to evaluate the device...
Thank you
there you go, sir..
lots of lightroom editing and insta and whatsapp and browsing.
stunning SOT..
I've got the phone since yesterday. Will post my results at the end of the day. Looks promising so far!

Global version? wifi only or mixed with data?
global version 10.2.2.0 - mixed with data.
I'm on 10.2.2 global. Getting around 5.5 hours sot and 23 hours standby with 90% wifi.
Hello guys, here are my results if anyone needs it.
Getting 7 hours of screen on time (13 hours since removed from charger) comfortably with moderate usage, no games, mostly browsing, some YouTube and social apps and making some pictures.
It was 6 hours of mobile data (part of it in metro with bad coverage) and the rest is with wifi.
It seems to be sufficient for a whole days use.
I am satisfied with it.

I am on Global 10.2.5.0 (PFBEUXM), stable
Oh and I forgot, bluetooth was on all along, connected to mi band 3. Not sure how much it affects the battery though
Yeah I had these >7h SOT but most realistic is 5h per 24hours without gaming. My SD625 LCD phone after 2.5years still had a better battery than this one.
Pretty impressive.

The Snapdragon 625 was a legendary CPU battery wise.
Hi, i don't know how you get these SOT.
My SOT, most likely without WiFi, no games even installed. just a few pictures, maps and WhatsApp.
I'm on global stable 10.2.5.0. so far, not impressed nor very satisfied..
Cheers
PS: also tried the tip to change settings to LTE/wcdma only.

I buyed MI 9 SE yesterday.
I'm thinking to unlock bootloader and flash xiaomi.eu (have it on my old 4X)
The stable is much worse then weekly? I prefer to not upgrade every week...

No they're essentially the same but weekly has risks of unknown newly introduced bugs. Don't upgrade every week then. I use weekly because at the time I want the latest features and I update like once in a year when there are features that I want to have.
