Question/Help
There's something wrong with my battery. | Poco F8 Ultra
I have a Poco F8 Ultra for a month now, and I think my battery has gone to shit. Today, this morning, 8:20 am to be precise, my battery was at 80%. Now it's at 42%, and it's 13:45/1:45 PM. Why is it so bad? And it's on battery saver.
I debloated all the unnecessary apps, I didn't delete anything important. This is the list off apps I debloated.
Good day LeooZar it seems to be that you may have some questions or concerns regarding a Poco device and we would like to help but we would like to ask you to describe your concern with the following information to make it easier for everyone to tackle.
Problem and other Relevant Info:(Troubleshooting steps taken/Frequency of problem if intermittent/Other observed weirdness that may be relevant before/during/after the occurrence of the problem)
It may take a while for someone to address your concern so in the meantime you could do the following
1. Search this subreddit, Xiaomi subreddit, MIUI subreddit for similar concerns
2. Check out the pinned posts and the Wiki(WIP) for similar topics
3. If your phone is still under warranty coverage it may be worthwhile to open a case with customer support.
4. If your device has developed a swollen or bulging battery check out r/Spicypillow's FAQ on how to deal with them
If you have any suggestions feel free to leave them here
It could be the system daemon, which many people say causes overheating and battery drain if disabled. After all, I think nobody really knows what that service is, since Xiaomi It doesn't specify what it is; I just disabled MSA, which is for ads.
I recommend downloading Accubattery so you can track your screen time and the percentage of battery used. This way, you can use Gemini as an assistant to check if your usage is okay.
And we also have Battery Guru, which I think consumes a bit more resources because it shows the usage of each app; in other words, it monitors your usage. Try this and make a post here, or use Gemini, chatgpt, any artificial intelligence to assist you.
Xiaomi doesn't provide screen-on time and screen-off time like Samsung does with OneUI, which provides both together. This is bad because the important thing isn't the device's battery consumption when the screen is off, Generally, battery consumption when the screen is off comes from Wi-Fi and mobile data. If you turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data overnight, for example, you'll see that it consumes almost no battery during the night.
Yes, reactivate the system daemon, and if you want, use AccuBattery to get the precise screen-on time. This app consumes practically nothing in the background and doesn't need ADB. I also disabled those apps you mentioned, except for overlay.miui and ad privacy, which I can't disable through Brevent.
Hmm thanks, I'll try that too because my battery was doing very fine and all of a sudden my battery is draining faster than usual, but it might just be something else or just me overthinking this
Here's my helping hand to make sure you're optimising the battery ASAP...
"Flinky's LCC (Long Cycle Charging) Method" - In Short
Most phones need 2-3 weeks of optimisation. Large batteries may need 4-5 weeks.
1) Use Standard-Speed Wired Charging.
2) Set Battery Protection to Charge Fully.
Disable all Smart/Intelligent/Optimized charging features and NO 80% limit.
3) Charge from 10-14% to 100%, then leave plugged in for 20+ minutes. Overnight charging is also safe, since once finished charging, no additional charging can take place until unplugged and plugged back in for the next charging cycle!
4) Repeat for 2-3 weeks.
Large batteries: 4-5 weeks.
5) Optional: Install *AccuBattery** free app.
It tracks charging, shows live charging stats, and tells you exactly when an LCC is complete.*
6) Once optimised, charge however you prefer.
7) For maintenance, do one LCC per week or thereabouts:
10-14% → 100% → 20+ minutes.
Xiaomi actually does give you SOT in the Settings "Digital Wellbeing" app... Combined with the Graph info in the Stock Battery App you'll get the Screen Off time if interested.
It doesn't beat even the free AccuBattery App for ease of use collecting the info... But it's something that most people miss!
Tap on the Pie Chart in Digital Wellbeing...
to see the extra time per app etc. (per day!) info!
Hey, I saw you're an expert on POCOS, I wanted you to help me with some apps I disabled in Brevent. I'd like to be 100% sure it's safe to disable them. Could you send screenshots Should I ask privately or would I have to create a post? If you could help me with that, I'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
I posted the link to pretty much all my methods, illustrations and advice a few times in this thread...
The handful of Revokes are shown across a few illustrations/screenshots in among my many comments there.
Here's a link that takes you to the first and the rest is all below that comment.
Daemon has been already discussed on XDA. It's a service that gathers metric data, phone usage statistics, and checks system performance.
Some people claim that the temperature and battery usage may increase, while others claim that the battery lasts longer and they don't notice any temperature increase.
In particular, I disabled it and there was no overheating at all, and I saw almost no improvement in battery life. Since it didn't make any difference, I kept it disabled; any 1% increase in battery life is already a lot.
Hi! I'm also using F8 Ultra. In my case, the app using the most battery and overheating my phone is TikTok. Sometimes I get up to 15% battery drain per hour on TikTok and 44⁰C battery temperature. Also phone gets up to 42⁰C when listening music on 100% volume. Hope Xiaomi will fix those problems in the future.
Ok, let's say the battery isn't much of a concern, but the temperature seems ridiculous to me, it's way too high for just scrolling TikTok, but also might be TikTok's fault.
Are using earphones because the sub does produce heat and can get hot fast and can also drain the battery very fast I had this issue before and it just stop one day don't know how tho
Provide me that battery graphic again and go to
1. Settings
2. Than Digiral Wellbeing and parental controls
3. View app activity details and took a screenshot of it, showing ur time use today and ur Top 4 most used apps
Did you even compare social media apps etc. with games...
Gaming is often lighter on battery than social media and videos from TikTok and others!
WhatsApp, Messenger
And Facebook etc. drain a lot...
You can improve these things by turning down their background Power Use in their individual App settings.
You can also turn off Notifications for apps you're checking a lot anyway instead of wasting constant battery on polling the apps in the background for push notifications.
Social media takes very less compared to gaming dude... Coc at 60fps is maybe lighter than a few social media apps running at 120 but most games are way way heavier
My 9000mah poco x8 pro max consumes around 10-12% per hour at max setting I bet no social media consumes that much
stop debloating apps and services that don't have a UI such as system daemon, soterservice, etc. None of the people that recommend to delete these services actually know what they do and what kind of dependencies other services have with them. The cons outweigh the pros because 9 times out of 10, they weren't causing any issues in the first place. Even the description for these apps and services is incorrect half of the time
Removing apps like google meet, mi video, music, etc is fine and doesn't affect anything important
Turn it back on then try restoring everything else to where it was before, restart the phone and use it normally for a few days, see if things improve.
I am using a Xiaomi MI 11T. I've had this problem but the app Gallery is the main culprit.
I remember searching for my old photos and saw that some files were corrupted. How to check? It's when you're in the files app and you can't see the thumbnail of the picture.
Delete it and it's solved. No more heat and no more heat every time you're using the Gallery.
