Problems I am facing with this phone after two years of usage. - Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Guides, News, & Discussion

I am currently facing many problems. Everything was so smooth when I first bought by this phone but after several updates,it began to lag.I can't play games for more than 30 mins anymore.I know the solution would be to downgrade the miui,so my question is,which miui version is best for this phone for gaming. Another horrible problem I started facing recently is overheating.The fingerprint facility disappeared completely,and just from 5 min of usage,the fingerprint sensor would heat up to around 100 degree celcius. How would you approach this problem?

Find the power hogs and deal with each on a case by case basis. A logging firewall can help you spot them. Debloat the useless apps that are using battery or bandwidth either with a Package Disabler or adb edits. Try temporarily disabling Google play Services, see if that helps.
Disable all carrier, Google and app feedback.
Rule #1 - if the firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be! This N10+ hasn't been updated for over 2.5 years, the current load is over 2 yo and it runs like a bat out of hell. Security simply isn't an issue in real time.

It's a good idea to remove the bloatware, but it won't help you with lag. Temperatures get high and the phone automatically lowers the perfomance, because the phone would otherwise have problems with overheating.
May be out of line: but
Seem to conform same reaction.It is my impression that (lag ! Never had overheating) Is caused by proximity of other sensor or fingers to nearby to thé borders of thé screen.

As i already wrote somewhere on the thread. There is a difference between, "my phone is overheating" and "my phone gets hot while playing games, etc...". I have the same lags. You can test the speed of cpu, etc.. while you play games, and you will understand whats the problem. Phone is turning of cores, and underclocks the cpu to prevent overheating. That's why games start to lag after some time playing.

Even ten minutes is enough for a 10 core procesor, with two A72 clocked to 2.0ghz+. I'm not sure about the rom. I tried it on china stable which is much better than global stable except the bloatware, and it's the same. Maybe some optimization for the processor would be good. I had Xperia M4 Aqua, which has SD procesor, and had a lot of heating problems. But there, i could tweak by myself the cpu temp settings, and i would achive better and more perfomance on games with the price of more temperature of course, and yes i'm aware of the temperature affect on cpu life span. On MTK, unfortunately, i couldn't find such a files for tweaking the cpu temp, etc...
I use epic ROM..I don't have lag issues with this...I can play smoother such as asphalt 8 , nova, NBA etc...
I came from many Roms China stable and dev...global dev and stable and I knew how it was. Those stock roms were buggy....

Notice any difference regarding battery life? compared with stock china/global stable ROM.
I have the latest Global Beta and my phone is always stable and doesn't really heat up that much, i just spent like an hour and a half playing fifa mobile, talking via facebook messenger and listening to music on spoyify and everything was just fine !!

There is no difference between China and global regarding battery performance. Both consumed much battery even in deep sleep with at least 2% per hour.
I'm using Redmi Note 4 MTK 4GB+64GB with MIUI 8.2.1.0.
Please do not charge and play Mobile Legends at the same time.
That's based on my experience for the last 3 days using Redmi Note 4 MTK and MIUI 8.2.1.0 and playing Mobile Legends.
Phone will gets hot (too hot in my opinion), and the battery charge won't lasts, ends up it will decrease the battery even though you're charging it.
I'm using 2.1A Samsung charger.
With my S5 Cosmic OS ROM, I still can charge (increase in percentage), while playing Mobile Legends.
What I do is, charge my phone to a desirable level, maybe 80-90% (where the charging tends to get slower), then plug out and play Mobile Legends.
Your phone will get warm, but not hot, and performance would not deteriorated.
hi guyz regarding this problem... MTK chip suck so much it give me nightmare.. so i decided to sell the phone and buy xiomi mi max.. best solution ever..i even buy two mimax... its that good.. thank you all

The temperature of my phone is really really hot ! 42°C+ for a simple task. HELP

Hello,
Since, two weeks now, my OnePlus X had a troubleshooting. The temperature of the phone is really high when I use it for simple task like browse the Internet (Chrome / Edge / Firfox) or Whatsapp, SMS, etc. And when I try to play at a simple game with no 3D stuff, it's almost impossible to hold it in hands. This is really really hot ! Battery at 42°C when I use any app like Whatsapp, Chrome/ Edge, etc. That's super hot !!
What's the problem ?
I'm on a custom ROM, the one of @psychem (Lineage OS 17.1). Before that I was on YumeMichi one. But the problem was already on that build.
I think the main reason for this is the battery. The phone's battery will get hotter after 1-2 years. It will run cooler if you change the battery.
I have the same problem but it's not because battery, my phone heats up at upper side of phone where the SOC is.
Me too, at upper side on AospExtended-v6.7-onyx-20200321-ROM. Not on RR-O-v6.2.1-20181124-onyx-UNOFFICIAL-fatal I used before :/
Me too.. this is on top of the top where the temperature is really hot !
I think I will be forced to change the phone for a Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro or, Mi 10 Lite or Realme X2 Pro. When I 'll have money ^^
OnePlus is not really the same company right now.
Same issue, since maybe 1-2 months now. Still running ResurrectionRemix 5.8.1 (Android 7.1.2).
I just replaced the battery (labeled 2015) by a new one (labeled 2019) and the issue is still mostly the same. The battery is obviously lasting longer now and doesn't drop steeply after falling below ~50% like the old one used to, but the SoC ist still heating up a lot in the top left corner of the phone.
Since you mentioned that you've tried LOS 17.1 and other ROMs by YumeMichi, I won't try to test other ROMs for now. If the issue is already present in different ROMs, I suspect it might have something to do with recently updated apps / frameworks, so maybe some Google apps or Google Play Services.
Looking at htop in root-mode termux (tsu) there seems to be a lot of CPU activity all the time, but not necessarily a super obvious culprit that's steadily using a lot of CPU. But I think I see a couple of GoogleQuicksearchBox processes appearing much more frequently than usual and some of my regular apps seem to start new processes a lot, as evidenced by the same app name frequently re-appearing under new PID numbers. It also it feels like I'm running into low memory a lot more now, because apps have to reload more frequently when I switch among them, especially Google Maps and apps that use the Maps API (like rideshare apps). So I suspect that something is causing apps to frequently close and start again, perhaps by using up too much memory.
Is anyone making similar observations?

How much battery, RAM, and CPU optimization matters on Android?

How much battery, RAM, and CPU optimization matters on Android? Cause I'm getting 10hrs of screen on time on a 3700mAh battery.
So I have been using this Snapdragon 710 phone for over a year now and it's giving me at the very least 10h screen on time. ( Yes you read that right. 10 hrs on an average )
Things to note here -
• I don't use a SIM card
• My phone is constantly connected to a Wifi and a VPN
• I play games like FIFA or PES 40 minutes to an hour a day
• Rest of the time I browse Reddit, Insta, FB, watch Netflix and Youtube
• I do not use auto-sync and location
I recall using stock ROM (realMe UI) 8 months ago and it used to give me 6hrs of screen on time at best. Now that I'm using ROMs like Pixel Experience, RevengeOS, Oxygen OS, MSM Extended I get a much better battery backup. I don't close apps. Simply minimize them when not in use. My CPU always runs at a lower clock speed but the phone never slowed down or stuttered, thanks to 6GBs of RAM.
I went to stock ROM a few days earlier and used it for a week to check if I was wrong. Found out stock is still giving me 6hrs on an average which makes me wonder how much difference good software can make.
I do comprehend the fact that using a mobile network would cost some more juice. Then again, since I'm rooted I could use WakeBlock or Servicely to limit a lot of unnecessary background process that Play Services or apps like FB, Insta creates.
I'm sorry if it was poorly written. I hope you get what I'm saying. If you've ever encountered something like that please let me know. I saw people complaining about bad battery backup on phones with a 4500+ mAh battery. Can't phone companies do something about that?

Question Redmi Note 10 High battery drain even when not using

Hi y'all .
Recently I got a Redmi Note 10 4/64 variant . I'm currently using my old phone Redmi 6A , while Redmi Note 10 just lies in desktops corner.
MIUI 12.0.1 , 5000 MAh and 33W .
I installed one game to try the performance , then cleared all the apps and went to sleep . In the morning , I saw more than %25 battery drained for almost no reason .
•I don't even use the phone
•Bootloader is unlocked
•The phone doesn't have a SIM inside , so it can't get signals would cause battery drain
•The phone doesn't have any apps installed besides stock ones . I only installed one game and two or three local shop apps.
•I always make sure nothing runs in the background(the way I use the phone)
Here is the graph
Edit : I can feel device's little heat even when posting this.
The phone call you see is made by my mom . I did let her borrow my phone one time , except that the phone doesn't have a SIM inside as I mentioned
Same here, Android system draining too much battery

Hi guys ,
As I am using the same phone and same varient(4/64) I can suggest some tips to save your battery.(working for both 4/64 & 6/128).
This measures can be applied in Redmi Note 10/ Pro / Pro Max also.
•You should turn off your Wifi / Mobile data when not in use otherwise apps like analytics play store etc. can run in the background and drain your battery.
•Uninstall the pre-installed apps which can be removed from your phone like Mi credit, Mi store etc. If possible change your keyboard to google keyboard(g board).
•Don't Software update your phone it may consume more memory and also cause to drain your battery faster than before.
•Go to setting search for Authorisation & revocation
And disable the permissions of apps like msa, MiuiDaemon, System apps updater, Get Apps, Updater.
•Then disable the following :
Disable it ↑
• Then open a folder and click on its name and disable promoted apps option.
I think I have covered everything. If anybody wants to add something just reply. I hope you find it helpful, if so please subscribe my youtube channel:
The road to great battery life doesn't require extreme restriction. Here you can see the power consumption results for my phone. I should mention that Wifi and GPS are permanently on. Synchronisation is also permanently enabled for Email, Messenger and Smart Life.
It consumes about 3% of the battery in 8 hours of standby time.
I use the Pixel Experience Plus ROM.
It is important not to use any functions that permanently (even during standby) monitor any of the sensors. Such as preventing waking up in the pocket.
I have disabled all automatic updates.

I've been tuning battery saving on smartphones since Android 2.1
Current hardware doesn't suffer as much from sustained discharge as it used to. Today, it is no longer necessary to turn off Wifi and GPS. But now it is advisable to reduce the CPU power in standby mode, because the manufacturer leaves the power at an increased frequency in the base to improve the phone's response.

Question Battery standby drain

Hey guys.
Just for the record I am testing the Xperia 1 iv battery drain in standby.
The phone seems to drain over night by 20% that's alot for juice compared to the Google pixel 6 pro or over phones like the oneplus 10 pro etc.
I have started this discussion to see if anyone else here , having drain issues maybe due to the overheating issue to drain battery down but that's only if the phone is using apps that are demand CPU etc.
I will keep testing this ,my thoughts are, thats alot of battery drain for standby mode.
I think Sony my need to do more future firmware updates to address this issue
mine uses some 5-6 % overnight, generally veeeeery happy with battery life.
Maybe you have something running in the background that is killing it. Something that pings the network all the time. What does batt status tells you?
2nd time charging the device is a little better working out 2 percent per hour at present.
Thanks for the reply

Hi could you please give us your build number ? We have 64.0.A.8.25 in Europe, released the 1st of August, thanks .
in that thread* we 've been said , the 64.0.A.8.25 is only a safety one
* https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xperia-overheating-problem.4467263/
I am on 64.0.A.5.71 Running a dual SIM mode with a digital SIM. I am also rooted with Magisk 25.2. All my Google apps are removed, so my phone runs without Google support. No Facebook or social media apps, also no games. No battery drain happening. It mainly depends on the apps you have pre-installed. Some apps are capable to use mic, or gps in the background even when they are not active. Any unrooted device is a potential privacy, and security risk, specially when you have facebook and google apps installed.

build number please!!!
The august build
I am getting over eight hours sot. Now also a tip is to calibrate the gaming app to battery prefer and then select samina mode on on all your games
Theae settings on you get no overheating issues also if you play retro games or name it's not too demanding on your CPU.
Also I have social media apps installed over 330 apps including games etc and utils.
No need to root the device at all. Thanks guys
There is a new firmware available. 64.0.A.8.25 I am not going to try it, i don't want to root and reinstall my device from scratch. Mine only have 40 apps installed, mostly root related. Nothing allowed to run on the background, except call recorder. All my apps only have internet access if they are in the foreground, except my banking app and skype , icq . The device does overheat when the camera is active for a while, however I only have it about a week.
