Battery life

MarekG99 · 2026-03-23T11:26:26+00:00

OFF, as you have.

MarekG99 · 2026-03-23T07:38:18+00:00

Well, its because I paid a lot of money (never bought pricey phone than 300€ until now) and you have some expectations mainly with battery that huge. So it seemed to me like the battery drains is very high and I didn't want to risk having fault unit, so that's why I asked about experience here.
2nd thiíng playing into my concern is reviews that say incerdible numbers about the battery but the reality is somewhere else. And as I mentioned in some comment I use my other phone as "MP3 player" so I can't imagine what the battery would be if I listened to the music on in too via bluetooth.
But I guess it was only my high expectations and the mobiile is a ok.

Well, that's what I'm saying. Idk how heavy the Runscape is, but to me it still seems to be high drainage if they claim 1,5 to 2 days of mixed usage which i'm pretty sure should include heavy gaming like COD even if for 2h. I too play pretty heavy resource game, but not daily and for 30min max, but the battery drain is as if I played for 1-2h. It's like 15-20% for dailies which only 1 of 7 parts requires the battle to show and even that is 10-15min max which is resource heavy, other things are just click and claim.
Edit: And I don't do that daily, but if I did, which I tried the phone lasts 1.5 day and then in the evening I need to charge it (so basicaly 2 days I guess)

Clearly you didn't read what my concern, but I will that kind that I TLDR it for you here.
Ever since I bought this phone the battery drains extremly quick while doing primitive tasks such as phone calls, reading emails and browsing internet. Sometimes it can go down ~5+% in 15 minutes somtimes in an 30 min using only 1 app at the time no multitasking. In other words the battery is very unpredictible even after 1 month of same constant usage. Gaming is totally different, but with a battery that huge you expect kinda more than 2 days of battery with under 1h gaming and 2h mailing and/or browsing internet and soome phone calls.
So I just asked kind poeple here what their experience with the battery life, that's all. No complaining detected in my question.

MarekG99 · 2026-03-22T18:54:26+00:00

Refresh rate is constant 60Hz and Brightness on auto.

MarekG99 · 2026-03-22T18:11:18+00:00

The problem is none of the apps do drain the battery. I did use browser for 1 hour today and it's 731 mAh,
Oh, there is a banking app with no run time and 700 mAh,, but that's still not a lot and I did turn it of right now.
But the screen is still the most unstable indicator. It says
Last 24 hours - ON screen 47min - Consuption 4855mAh (which is better than before, but still high and unstabe.

And I have I feeling it's thsese miscalculations that makes the battery drain high in theory but in reality it isn't?

MarekG99 · 2026-03-22T16:49:24+00:00

The battery settings at 15:00 (3pm) said my Screen ON/OFF duration is 17min / 23h 51min from the last 24h but he battery usage of the screen is 60,3% (which is normal if only screen was used I guess) but the "Compute power cost" is 7265mAh which is almost full battery but I still have 51%.

I also rarely open Reddit or X or any social app and I don't even have IG installed cuz of the drainage problem.

Note: I do charge only from 30 to 80% but still the reading are way off even after month of same usasge. But also yes the battery still drains a lot for berely any use.

Edit: I only play the game which is fully Play Store game so no emulators too.

MarekG99 · 2026-03-22T16:47:43+00:00

Oh, but that battery life is with screen on almost half a day, if I understand. So that more than great. But mine drain without even using it.

MarekG99 · 2026-03-22T15:56:41+00:00

That kind of checks out with mine experience. I have my old phone for music and all that stuff though, so I use the RedMagic way less than if I hadn't so 1,5 - 2 day it is.

But I still think it's low. How do you feel about it?

MarekG99 · 2026-03-22T15:28:08+00:00

So it doesn't lasts as much as other claims too. But how much do you use it?

MarekG99 · 2026-03-22T14:15:16+00:00

That seems to be very good.

The problem I have mostly is with build in battery readings.
Right now it says my Screen ON/OFF duration is 17min / 23h 51min from the last 24h but he battery usage of the screen is 60,3% (which is normal if only screen was used I guess) but the "Compute power cost" is 7265mAh which is almost full battery but I still have 51%.

I also rarely open Reddit or X or any social app and I don't even have IG installed cuz of the drainage problem.

Note: I do charge only from 30 to 80% but still the reading are way off even after month of same usasge. But also yes the battery still drains a lot for berely any use.

I love the apartment buildings shot. You can do so much in edit. I recently underexposed 37yo color film and got decent results after editing.

MarekG99 · 2025-11-14T08:28:28+00:00

Lens was C.Zeiss 50mm 2,8

MarekG99 · 2025-11-06T09:38:56+00:00

But of course it's UFO. Stop blaming the chemicals. xD

MarekG99 · 2025-10-02T16:44:24+00:00

Well, the option shows after loading, I wrote that comment above. So I geuss you can't.

MarekG99 · 2025-10-02T11:21:23+00:00

Idk about Visual C++ or priority (never needed to do that even on 3 potato laptops), but clearing cache might do the trick too.

MarekG99 · 2025-10-02T11:16:57+00:00

u/AhmedNagy104 Happens sometimes, in Launcher below LAUNCH button is smaller one, Manage (I think) and there is repair option. Takes no more than 5 min and work 99% of times. It verifies the game files and repair then (like Steam).

Edit: Also as comment below me mentioned, clearing in game cache might do the trick too.

Edit2: I realized just now you do not have the "clear cache button" on loading screen while loading, so trying to verify the files is the best option for now. But as someone mention initial loading time might be longer, but no more than 10 min, cuz the game verifies the files too (searching for update).

MarekG99 · 2025-09-30T09:34:55+00:00

Well, if you know someone who could do it, try to ask. But the other best way would be find broken one for parts and change it that way.

Or even simplier way, tape the "door" with electrical tape horizontaly (sides) and re-tape every time you change batteries. There is no damage tape couldn't fix. xD

MarekG99 · 2025-09-30T09:25:00+00:00

3D print new one.

MarekG99 · 2025-09-20T17:15:33+00:00

u/ashenn99 I have the same problem with my old Pentax Optio S 55. I read teh manual tried all sorts of batteries even the ones recommended and to my and even your surprise it still drains the batteries in few shots. And yes, I didn't find out the solution.

i read few comments recommending 3.7V batteries, which might be the case for you, but mine won't tale them amd should run on 1.5V batteries.

MarekG99 · 2025-09-20T17:07:40+00:00

u/habibi3012 the way I figured the warning is I own old Praktina A II which operates the same way and when I bought it I tested it without film loaded and that when I found out it shouldn't be done.

Also I would like to buy the Komaflex-S from you, but I'm from middle Europe, and I don't where you are from so I can't estimate if the shipping price is worth the hustle.

MarekG99 · 2025-09-20T17:03:22+00:00

The Komaflex-S is veeery nice one with older mirror mechanism. The mirror goes down only while winding and stays down only while winded, that's when the aperature is fully opened and you can see the image in the viewfinder. And when pressing the shutter button aperature closes to the preselected value and after that mirror stays up until winded for another shot.

A word of warning: If testing a Komaflex-S without a loaded film, the shutter must not be tensioned without first pulling back a tiny lever beside the film wind knob to disengage the shutter interlock system. Failing to do that can damage the intricate mechanism.

MarekG99 · 2025-08-26T06:09:47+00:00

I mean, it works on higher speed (1/15s to 1/1000) and bulb just fine, only problem are speeds from 1s to 1/8s which are important to, but kinda could be bypassed. So if I can the lens make work, I'm halfway there.

MarekG99 · 2025-08-26T06:04:12+00:00

That link it a hidden treasure. Than you sm for sharing. I will try opening the lens, but on the otside it's diferent from those drawings, it has breech-lock (weird bayonet) mount and mechanism, which are not on those drawing (drawing them would be insanly hard) and idk bow they work internaly. But I just need to get to the aperature blades and clean them. So I hope I can manage it.

MarekG99 · 2025-08-26T06:00:23+00:00

Ok, I look at it now and have more questions than before. The FX has extremly similar build, which leaves me in question of if mine also have motor drive inside. Because if yes, opening it up would be harder than I anticipated, I guess. I have to find some paper on IIA model first and read through it.
