Sometimes it is caused by poor network. Yesterday night I went to sleep with 62% and woke up with the same percentage. When next you wake up check your battery gragh, take note of the network bar, if there are so many browns, then network is the culprit.

This is always what my network bar looks like in the attached screenshot and the best I've always come to overnight is 2percent battery drain mostly between 10pm and 4am. Don't really know what's happening though with this high cell standby

genius43:
The bug is still there but just manageable. If it happens frequently, I will turn off adaptive battery for a short while and turn it back on.

Boss, have u noticed this high cell standby usage on ur redmi note 5?...... it's really killing the battery here with heavy drops recently infact most times it tops the screen usage overnight wch is actually absurd to me. Expecting ur reply

iamNegro:
I don't know about others but I do not receive notifications at all only on WhatsApp, then seldomly on Facebook. My battery saver is usually on as I am not in a power friendly environment. Could that be the reason or there is another way to do this manually? Clarification will be nice

Putting on battery saver turns off your sync which makes it difficult for other applications to push notifications to your phone. use the normal mode and u will see the difference

Initially I thought the 2% drop was harmless but it is really causing a dip in battery backup. Between yesterday and especially today I noticed it was more frequent and it really affected my battery life.

So I played around and I decided to disable "use adaptive battery" and so far so good there haven't been any 2% drop. And the backup have improved.

Hhhhmmmm boss, make I quickly run go dt side and check am.

Thanks for this sir, learning always here.

Ordered the redmi note 7 for a neighbour on Sunday and got it on Tuesday. I never believed dt the phone was damn amazing like dt. I fell in love with it than my note 5 AI sef.

genius43:
It has.

Can u please enlighten me on this boss

Joohan:
Someone should buy the phone now and sell it to me at the rate of 52k nxt week

Where's your location?

genius43:
No it won't, but I won't make it a habit, cos it will affect your battery in a not too distant time

What about using the torch on ur phone almost everyday (like 5days a week) wch lasts 1hr? Any effect of this continuous usage on the battery?

genius43:
Yes, there are improvements.

Alright boss...... hoping on more improvements as regards the cell standby and also the 2 percent drop occasionally in this last update to pie

@genius43 have u noticed high cell standby percentage on your device ever since the pie upgrade? Expecting your prompt reply boss

Jheypeel:
See me see problem, had been wanting to update my phone for long. Finally did 2gb today and updated my phone, only to get to 69% and the stupid update went back to 0% and started all over again. After my subscription was almost at 1.2gb gone. I nearly cried oo. Did anyone noticed the same thing when updating theirs
Redmi note 5 user

Sorry bro, u should have done d update by midnight when signal strength will b at full bar. U can as well subscribe for the midnight plan and download the update

suco01:
It can only be put on 3G. Only the browsing Sim has that option of 4G 3G and 2G

He can change the unused SIM to 2G by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and change to GSM on the preferred SIM. it stays like that even after reboot

genius43:
I use a Note 5. When I check it out I will give feedback

Noticed this yesterday evening when it took my note 5 about 3hrs to full charge from 42percent. Though the battery usage lasted longer but think it's just a bug

stephinnoyewole:

Mizik:
you're using 3G

Even with that, her battery is supposed to do poorly than urs due to the poor signal (the brown bars more visible than the green) compared to yours (almost all green truout). Turn off scanning as earlier said by boss genius43 and also switch off dual 4G option. If problem persists, u may be forced to factory reset ur device

elantraceey:
I'm surprised na, I didn't have it that bad when I newly got the phone self , that one bad o .

Look at mine, I've been playing music, surfing and using touchlight with my terrible network.

Chai, this ur own network na war oooo. Still fared better. He needs to check his settings to turn off scanning, switching off dual 4G toggle and reverting the unused SIM for data to 2G

genius43:
Search for it from settings.

Taking photos consumes battery though. The battery life will get better. Also leave the SIM you are not using for data on 2G

Then he should also turn off dual 4G toggle in the settings as it has been a large culprit of battery drain too especially in idle mode

fibonacci2526:
Genius43 have you updated your note 5 to pie? Should people just update manually and avoid OTA for now?

He has updated likewise me through OTA and I didn't get a brick device though my bootloader is unlocked. Attached is my about section

genius43:
Is the update back?

Modified: just refreshed and saw it.

Cc: citysect1 check your updater and refresh the update is back.

genius43:
Is there anyone in Nigeria using the Indian version?

The new update carries the same version number but different name OEIMIXM based on Oreo whigh am currently on which was released 2-3weeks ago but the new one which I was unable to download because Xiaomi suspended the update is PEIMiXM based on PIE. Don't get confused. You can go the Mi community to verify.

That is the screenshot of my current ROM. Pie update will resume soon but don't know how long

Alright, got ur explanations. Was actually misled by an info I read online previously. Thanks for the clarification, actually learning more being a newbie to xiaomi

genius43:
note 5 pro and Note 5 AI are the same phones with the same software but different naming scheme.
Note 5 pro is used for India while AI is used for China and Global. This is not supposed to be confusing to anyone now na.

I got the update but before I updated Xiaomi suspended the roll-out.

That was my screenshot when it popped out.

Saying same thing, only the Indian variant received the update as per the naming scheme. I'm on the global version kinda with a different naming scheme and didn't receive the update.

My own variant naming is (MIUI - OEIMIXM) as against your PEIMIXM
