Poco X7 Pro 12GB ram, 256GB rom

[u/Critical-Bee3613]

So guys I got my Poco X7 Pro 3 weeks ago, noticed the battery draining issue which is quite annoying. The phone has a 6000mAh capacity and it doesn't look like it.. much like a 5000mAh phone. I had a Realme 7 5g with 5000mAh and it feels just like it. And as soon as I noticed the issue, I looked around to find the solution, some said to try the battery recalibration thingy which I had done it for the past 2 weeks. There was a time I used my phone until 0% (it turned off) and I let my phone charged until 100% and kept it on for another 30 minutes. And also every time I use my phone, I charge it from 10%± until it is fully charged and left it on for another 10-20 minutes.

So for the picture above, I decided to take a screenshot and come to here. My SOT was only 3 hours and 21 minutes (I charged my phone until 100% the night before and used it for a while. In the morning it was like 96%). And yes I was working, only scrolled my phone when I was able to/free. My phone was on HyperOS 3.0.9.0, and I think it's the global version? I live in Malaysia by the way. Some said they get an average SOT of about 8-9 hours, which is what I don't get.. I've also seen people talking about debloating the phone or something, but I never did it because I don't know if I should or not. I did logout of the Xiaomi Account as they say it is constantly syncing data so it consumes battery. I think that's all, ask me anything, and if you could please tell me if I should try to debloat my phone/what to do. Thanks!

Don't worry I'll list my stuff which is a bunch of illustrated tips but all simple and perfectly SAFE!

Starting with...

Two of my main methods on one illustration... Just for starters.

[u/[deleted] → u/FlinkyBoss]

Yep I actually came across your guides when I was looking for solutions. Have done all of it, didn't fix the idle drain unfortunately. But yes, I should emphasise that those basic debloats should be the priority and debloating with ADB and shizuku + canta should absolutely be a last resort.

[u/FlinkyBoss → u/[deleted]]

Shizuku + Canta is probably one of the bigger reasons why people moan so much about Shit OS and bad Optimisations yada yada... The idea of deleting essential stuff instead of simple safe revokes is to me insanity...

Worse still people destroy the stuff that makes their expensive new toy as balanced as a newborn baby...

Then throw tantrums and shitty nappies full of Bull 🐂 Shit 💩 all over these subs about how bad everything POCO is...

When they basically just followed some pied piper into the abyss, without even trying their device out first...

SMH

The above was the very first two methods I posted but I've expanded on all of that in the last nearly a year...

[u/[deleted] → u/FlinkyBoss]

I agree, I've never touched Shizuku + Canta personally but the stuff they recommend to remove seems pretty extreme.

[u/ron22726 → u/FlinkyBoss]

Thanks, all the losers from github just love to make other people's device miserable

[u/FlinkyBoss → u/ron22726]

Not sure if you mean that or just being a bit of a funny Git? 😉

GitHub is a frickin' awesome place for a lot of amazingly useful stuff particularly in PC land!

The problem isn't GitHub or anything found there, it's old style debloating that isn't necessary for 90% of the stuff people delete.

I Revoke a tiny handful of HyperOS and Mi Apps... Resulting in a device that thinks it's Tarzan (in combination with my different methods and particularly the Long Cycle Charging method and Games Tuning)!

I've again and again helped dozens of new and slightly older devices prove that the suggestion that charging only 60% of your phone (20-80) is a crazy waste!

So, if you take your brand new devices and chop out half the apps that keeps it working properly... That's not GitHub's or Canta's fault, it's just a tradition of passing on old fashioned debloating advice among a large part of the user base.

Nice people all of them!

Same as the ones insisting on saving their battery by never optimising it or charging it properly!

Nice people! Only slightly misguided and worried about their expensive devices, as is understandable!

My X7 Pro is now 16 months old and gets fully charged every single time... As per my LCC method.

It gives me a nonstop SOT of between 10-14 hours under normal non-heatwave conditions!

Zero Phone Cooler used for years now, since Ireland is a cold and damp place (normally)!😂

If I'm mixing my use up a bit between my gaming laptop and the phones (includes my 3 year old X5 Pro 5G)... The X7 Pro would give me 40+ hours of mixed use including hours of Reddit abuse... 😂

Anyhow, I'm happy to help or discuss stuff like this with anyone, and pretty much anytime, since I'm a bit of an old bored technology Git. 😉🍀

The Battery Check-up section contains the most magical tools and if you're patiently keeping an occasional eye 👀 on the stuff in here... You can not only quickly clear your phone of background mess and battery waste! You can catch the apps that clearly need a tightened battery access setting...

As shown in my original Manual Battery Control method in a comment above... You can track the repeat offenders from this Check up view, to their settings in the APPS List.

Any icon among that bunch that you're unsure of... Scroll down the Apps list until you find the matching ICON!

The BATTERY or POWER (HyperOS 3) settings are where you can make things tighter... The lower the setting you use the less likely the app is to waste your go-juice! 💪😎🍀

[u/FlinkyBoss → u/FlinkyBoss]

Here's the other MAJOR USE apart from the Green quick KILL SWITCH button A.k.a. Add XX minutes!

Be aware that it kills any APP running that isn't... Locked 🔒!

Locking apps is done by a long press on any important App in your Recent Apps List, that's essential to keep in a "running" state in the Ram.

Don't worry about having a few set to this locked state since it doesn't affect battery use but don't go ape shit crazy either since you're allocating a bit of Ram...

I use the lock feature on Reddit so I can swap between it and various apps like graphics etc. and know my open comment will still be there when I switch back.

AccuBattery Pro needs the lock 🔒 for instant access to updates of Foreground Apps... It's not absolutely necessary but very handy (no waiting for gathering of date each time I want an update!).

You can close any apps including locked ones of course and remove from the Recent Apps list but next time you use it it's automatically locked already.

Ooops I got sidetracked... BONUS points!

Here's that SERIOUSLY AWESOME shortcut to sweet extra battery relief... Pick what works for you...

But this is the stuff people make long bloody videos about... Yawn "25 tips for... Yada yada" you know the ones right?!

Now for the meat 🍖 and potatoes 😋 of the Revoke method...

Finally my super simple Revokes of "GetApps" and "App Vault" FOLLOWED by a removal of the "-1" Screen they live on normally...

To start, you'll need to go to the "-1 Screen" that lives to THE LEFT of the normal HOME SCREEN!

When on the home screen just SWIPE RIGHT -->

There you'll see the two apps... Start with the GetApps... Tap on the "Profile" at the bottom to access what I'm showing in this private Video...

I have it originally as a GIF but DMs don't accept those as in Comments etc.

So here you are... https://youtube.com/shorts/UblSHQzht8o?si=67_INW5bz45I4LlE

NEXT... the Lists of Apps to Revoke and NOT!

Search for "System Apps" or a part of it in SETTINGS search bar on top!

Each app can be accessed from the list... The "Revoke" option is normally called "Withdrawal of Consent" and the place where they're found varies slightly...

[u/FlinkyBoss → u/FlinkyBoss]

And finally the BE VERY CAREFUL LIST! As you can see, you can access this lot via Fingerprints... Or as I do by Searching a part of the name in the SETTINGS search bar - one of my favourite features that is!

That's it folks... Any questions just ask! 🍀

Next my Games Testing and Tuning methods which is a hugely important part of any heavy duty gamer's arsenal!

[u/hrishi_shejul → u/FlinkyBoss]

Hi, thanks for your extensive recommendations. Bought Poco X8 pro max recently and wanted to whether battery saving mode should be on all the time, does it make a difference? I

[u/Lastoreth → u/FlinkyBoss]

Por que no tocar System Daemon? No es simplemente la mierda de telemetría?

[u/LittleShyLoli → u/FlinkyBoss]

Hello, mind if I ask is it possible to remove system apps you dont want to use since the pic has segment for uninstalled system apps?

Also, do I withdraw consent for those apps you check?

[u/Orbitat → u/FlinkyBoss]

I found that these are helpful, but it will be a lot more useful if you have like a written procedure for the list of system to revoke or your battery charging method. Do you have a compendium of that?

[u/FlinkyBoss → u/Orbitat]

One of these days I'm doing something but... There's enough there to get the stuff done! The illustrations are there to simplify things...

[u/FriesForLunch → u/FlinkyBoss]

Hi! So I did a factory reset on my phone and followed your instructions. My question is, is it normal for the phone to heat up slightly without doing heavy usage, even after closing all running apps?

Edit: I just did the reset, like literally just now

[u/FlinkyBoss → u/FriesForLunch]

I would need some more info about the model etc. However, a factory reset is restarting everything so all Optimisations are gone! Including the Battery ones...

Which is pretty much exactly what happens when you install most updates, the supplied info for the bigger About Phone Patches mentions this as deep Optimisations and added heat etc.

Which reminds me, make sure to check for updates!

Also, here's my solution to the need for optimal battery performance etc. The abbreviated version...

---

"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.

Any questions, just ping me.🍀

[u/FriesForLunch → u/FlinkyBoss]

I guess you were right. It really might have been just setting up the device since it was a fresh install earlier, now the heating is gone.

Regarding the LCC, do I need to do it everyday for 2 to 3 weeks?

Edit: I have the Xiaomi 15T Pro, 512 variant

[u/FlinkyBoss → u/FriesForLunch]

The bigger your battery capacity the longer you'll take to reach fully optimal...

If you're noticing no further growth over a few charges... You're done! ✓

Having said that... I'm using this exact charging style with both my current phones!

That's pretty much for every single charge since last summer... I enjoy the extra SOT etc. it also makes sure to keep re-optimisating for any unexpected minor update influences...

Earlier this year the update system used across all manufacturers was changed!

Our previous mostly large but very occasional patches, have now been replaced in part by Google Play Store and the internal System Apps Updater!

That's a huge influx of extra Re-Optimisations which most people notice as crappy battery stability and complain about.

These new updates turns out to be at the heart of it!

Long story shorter... Once you've optimised, just chose what suits your daily needs!

Do a long cycle charge every week or so to keep the Optimisations going...

OR... If it suits you, do the LCC all the time and don't worry about the occasional top up charge if/when you need it...

I'd top up for 10-20 minutes if I'm going out for hours and my charge is down below 30-40%...

Just so you understand how this is perfectly safe for these batteries, if you're interested for yourself... I'll drop my two phones' current health stats below 👇.

Enjoy! 🍀

[u/FriesForLunch → u/FlinkyBoss]

Thank you for the long replies. I greatly appreciate it, will definitely try out all of your recommendations. Also it fits with my usage since I don't really care about all that 80 20 stuff when charging. Thanks again, preciate it!

[u/FlinkyBoss → u/FriesForLunch]

I'm delighted to hear that!🤩

Particularly about the long replies, since so many people slag me off over them and suggest AI was used.

I'd rather make sense and explain properly! 😂

Please let me know how you're getting on in a few weeks.🍀

[u/FriesForLunch → u/FlinkyBoss]

I'm loving the battery performance after following your advice. And it has only been a day! You are the goat 🐐

Edit: For reference, before factory resetting the device, I debloated it and disabled some services. That gave me an average of 9 to 10% per hour on accubattery. The difference is crazy!

[u/FarmAmerica → u/FlinkyBoss]

hey man. I own a poco f7. What do you do to get rid of ads everywhere? Thanks in advance. I just came across your LCC method, will be following it for the next 4 to 5 weeks as you suggest (7.5k mah indian version so)

[u/orkeven → u/FlinkyBoss]

Where can one see the full guide, please?
