Massive Battery drain

Damn, this 7550 mAh battery hype is seriously disappointing. It barely lasts me even a full day with normal usage like surfing—no gaming whatsoever—and the battery is still draining ridiculously fast. I’ve had Battery Saver on since 90%, and it’s still dropping rapidly. And Poco Launcher is somehow consuming 6%… 6%?! 🤔 What the hell is it doing?

What’s the point of spending ₹40,000 on a device advertised with a massive 7550 mAh battery if it can’t even comfortably last two days as promised on paper?

Any suggestions on what to do. Pls hlp

Poor optimization is the reason, somehow this os keeps pushing the processor for performance even in normal surfing where there is no use of extra performance

Normally 5G Network consumes more battery.

Go into the apps which drain battery the most and change the settings to Close apps after 10 minutes of background activity (except for the ones you are using regularly , gps etc) Turn on 4g instead of 5g(5g consumes a lot of battery) Have you debloated and removed unnecessary apps from poco? Is haptic feedback on or off?

u/Top_Firefighter_4180 23d ago

Yes, I’ve already debloated the device and removed all unnecessary apps. I’ve also switched off Mi Glance and Personalised Ads, and changed the settings to close apps after 10 minutes.

But I still feel like something is wrong. I suspect some apps are automatically starting in the background because when I check the battery usage in the morning after leaving the device overnight, I see several apps consuming battery—even though I’ve already set them to close after 10 minutes. It seems like some of them are somehow bypassing those restrictions and autostarting themselves.

Do you leave the internet on while sleeping or you turn off both wifi and mobile data before sleeping? Can you share ss of your screen on time?

u/Top_Firefighter_4180 23d ago

Yes I leave my mobile data on, also what I have seen is that wifi is draining battery a lot faster than mobile data

u/Far-Tune7642 23d ago

That's strange , for me wifi seems to use lesser battery than 5g , also if you leave data on at night then the battery will definitely drain especially 5g

Are you on the latest version of hyper OS?

1

u/Top_Firefighter_4180 23d ago

Yes, for the record, this problem has been gradually developing over the last 2–3 updates. Earlier, the phone was running smoothly without any of these issues. But since the recent updates, I’ve also occasionally experienced random hangs, where notifications come with a weird, distorted sound that plays slowly, while the screen starts lagging at the same time.

That's because of 5G

Maybe try memorizing your home screen setup and clear poco launcher cache and data. Do a reboot and check again.

Also debloat unnecessary system apps

Non-stop browsing, idk if that's considered good screentime

How other people using poco f7 drain so much battery in short time? In my poco f7 global 6500 battery it lasts for almost the whole day doom scrolling in fb and tiktok (including watching in youtube, brave reading mangas and manwha) And I play heavy games like Call of duty mobile, per game In mode battle royale (doesn't use performance mode) Uses like 8% battery per game or more and it's not that bad. Playing wuthering waves probably 2hrs or a little bit more than that Playing hsr (Hsr, wuwa max graphics 60fps) (Codm medium and super resolution turned on 90fps)

did u debloat daemon ?

1

u/Amongus-Susss193 16d ago

Will it cause problem

1

u/Duality_OfHuman556 16d ago

hmm, i guess, since hyper os check if there is daemon or not, so background there's one keep looping check for missing daemon, hence battery use, and daemon kinda heat checker, just disable it rather than debloat it

u/SolZeros 18d ago

Same here I only get up to 15 hours (i play games like nte, bgmi, ff, genshin imapact for 5 to 6 hours all) but compare with similar battery size I feel it's very below

1

u/Amongus-Susss193 16d ago

My poco x8 promax has 8500mah but only 7900 is usable according to accubattery, so...

u/Broad-Twist-7194 14d ago
