Hi! Lately I've been having problems with very short battery life. I do more or less the same use as I did when I first got the phone. Internet browsing (with firefox), twitter app, facebook app, reading manga and other text and some lite gaming (basically accesing Super Soccer Club to train my players, put tasks in shops, etc and closing the app after that).
I unplug the phone at 6:30 am and am usually out of battery at 15:00 pm more or less.
When I first started using the phone it finished the day with 20-30% battery left while doing the same app use (was using MIUI 7 at that time).
Here are some screenshots of the battery life as seen in MIUI 8 battery app.
Thank yoy for any responses

Take a look here if could be useful for You....
I had no problem with reboot but tried battery calibration and didn't fix the issue. Installing the other rom mentioned in the post didn't fix it for me. Will try other MIUI rom version or even other roms. Hope it's not a faulty battery.
 
How much screen on time did you actually have? Phone seems awake most the time. MIUI typically gets 4-5h SOT, depending on how heavy the apps are on the CPU/GPU.

Wouldn't be able to tell you. I usually have my phone in the pocket, take it out to look at some tweets, read some messages or read a chapter of manga, and then put it in my pocket again after locking. Usually close all apps before locking phone.
 
In the screen from 4th screenshot, press "Screen". I never could have more than 3-3.5h SOT and have the phone last from morning to evening. Usually under 3h.
 
facebook app is a feaking battery eater! Try removing it! Use facebook lite or access it using the browser.

I'll try this tomorrow with the use I usually do and post image. Thanks
 
Yup, it goes kinda fast. What version of MIUI do you use? I use weekly 6.12.22 currently and battery life is almost as good as MIUI 7, it seems. Most the time, I would have about 50%, maybe more battery after 2h SOT and half a day usage.

Going to try that build tomorrow. Let's see if it's better.
 
So, I tried build 6.12.22 and have 1h 45min SOT and 48% remaining battery after 8h of use. Seems more or less normal according to what has been said in this post.
