I recently installed /e/ on my Redmi 4x (Santoni). It seems the problem with high battery usage seems quite similar to the Mido case. I’ll repart that later today on to the Gitlab as well.
Anyone who tried testing the battery drain with the LineageOs4MicroG build for the device? That would be a useful comparison or a Lineage ROM. Wanted to check if this is specific to /e/ . Logs from all these devices would be extremely useful to debug this.
I have a 3 year old Redmi 3s which I use for testing and that also shows a significant battery drain. I had charged it to 100% yesterday night and now it says 77% and i do not even use it!
Interestingly all are Xiaomi phones.
@Manoj, not very recently, but I compared a few weeks back the LOS/MicroG builts on Mido and Santoni with MIUI, AOSP Remix, SiberiaOS and Liquid Remix. My impression back then was MIUI was the most efficient,LOS/MicroG the least.
What do you mean with logs: s.th. like over a whole day?
A log will have details which will help the dev team understand where the drain is occurring. If it is for whole day that is good…basically some info to help debug the issue.
I am downloading a LineageOs4Microg ROM for Redmi 3s. Will install that and get some logs and then add the /e/ logs to the bug report on gitlab

Ok, I’ll do that first for Mido. Is it okay if I take the latest Oreo/unofficial?
Any log will be helpful. I have shared this issue with the development team and all
logs will be useful.
Btw you have a MiA1, right? not facing any battery issues compated to the stock ROM?
…as it is the same processor SD625.
I have a Nexus 5X
9 a.m : 100%
9 p.m : 5%
And i’m using it very few.
i’ll try LOS soon to compare.
Which Services / applications does it show draining max battery under Settings >> Battery >>…
Do you have GPS location enabled?
I think so…i have flashed LineageOS4MicroG now so not sure what state it was in with the /e/ ROM.
I always disable the GPS because then my battery drains fast (leeco s2)…
I had a look as well on my GPS consumption. That seems a minor issue.
But when all the different system services summed up amount to almost 25% my battery usage. That’s quite a bit, no?
Furthermore, screen amounts to 28% and this of for a day with mostly listening to webradio (with screen off).
I have noted that the system update uses a lot of battery recently
The very same thing. I use Mi4 LTE.
One good way to test this battery drain would be to install a LineageOs4Microg ROM and check if the drain still happens.
Also i noticed when i’m using ‘Deezer’ battery drained faster.
Perhaps embedded decoding audio routine drains a lot… ?
I used 28% in 3 hours only 
But summary shows me only 15%
Are these battery measurements being done after the OS has had time to complete all the background work that goes on with a new install / major upgrade? Android needs as much as 48 hours to complete these tasks, so I would not do any battery usage measurements until after that period.
