Hey. I received an Android 10 update on my Mi 9 lite a week ago. Do you recommend doing factory reset after the major update?
It's running relatively fine, quicker reactions (except the recent apps menu, still lagging), but the battery lasts like 5 hours SOT. Android process is relatively high. It's 4000mah, everyone is reporting sot like 8 at least. I mean I had sot like this before the update but still. I have dark mode everywhere it's possible (wallpaper, even chrome) so I expected like 10 hours and I have possibly less sot than on my previous redmi note 5/3.
Is it recommended, in general, to do a factory reset after a major update? Concretely on Mi 9 lite?
Thank you
I do always factory reset.Try it.

Hey everyone, my XiaoMi Mi 9T Pro recently got an OTA MIUI 11.0.3.0 (QFKEUXM) update (I update w/o factory reset)
After trying for like a few days, i notice some issues
1.Setting screen to light up when new notification come in, it won't light up (Previously at MIUI10 don't have this issue). If change to Pulse animation it will works but not always, unless with AOD is on.
2. Battery life seems worst than MIUI 10, before that I able to get 6 hours SOT per charge, but now with MIUI11, I only hit about 3~4 hours SOT, and standby drain seems so much worst too. I seen other claims that they can hit even more SOT and standby time with MIUI11, but sadly that's not my case here.
Does anyone have these issues? Or should I do a update with reset to solve these issues?
I think that you should perform a factory reset. I tried to update without resetting the phone, but the result was a phone full of strange bugs: contacts not syncing with Google, reading mode enabling automatically even if I disabled it etc.
Now, the only strange thing I encounter is a different sound of Gboard keys, but that's not important to me.

Yep, for point 2 in my case the battery is about the same as previous miui 10. For point 1 i totally agree, the screen stay black and even using AOD most notification is missing, for example SMS and calls.
When i receive a sms or a call, in AOD there is no notification or icon (maybe cause the google dialer and messaging, i don't know). I can see only whatsapp's notification in AOD.
To see any notification or message/call (almost everything) i must unlock the device or wake up the screen. This is very annoying.
Hi,
I recently bought a galaxy s10 and I'm wondering if the batterylife is rly so "Bad" or if there is something wrong with my Software.
I have a screenshot attatched. This was a Day with biking (Navigation in background) and only liddle screen on time.
Before I had a xiaomi Mi 9t pro and i was able to use the Phone for two days without charging. Even sot of 7 hours or more.
Why is my s10 not Even lasting "one day".?
Seems to me Q is the culprit
Are you on Android Q yet? My S10 used to reach 30-40+ hours of battery time on P (mostly web whatsapp and regular phone calls, no games at all, see pic).
After upgrading to Q, juice can't even give me 30 hours. As I see it, in my case Q is clearly the culprit.
SOT is not a valid metric for me, as I'm always on web whatsapp -- lots of use, screen always off.
I am Android 9 with the AT&T firmware G975U model. I can get around 25 or 26 hours out of it before I have to recharge it.
Yes I'm on Android Q.
I think it's due to aod and Google Service.
With the Installation of gms fix Module of magisk the betterylife got better. Also im using the adaptive battery Management setting and disabled aod. Now it's only on when I received a message, which is fine for me.
Now im getting through a Day, but still it's not that impressive compared to other phones (one plus and so on)
So, It has been 10 months of headaches. Bought in july 2019, for two months best phone ever, battery lasted 2 days, near to 1-2% of battery drain at night on standby. After installing miui 11, the battery said "bye bye". 3h screentime, need to charge the phone twice a day, losing 10%/h on standby.
What I tried is:
-havoc os
-xiaomi.eu Miui 11-12. beta and stable
-Evolution x
-latest firmware always/reinstalled latest firmware-vendor
-always clean install wiping everything
-new battery 2 months ago (same results, no difference at all)
-no app is draining battery in the settings
-unistalled analytics and miui daemon (msa not found on xiaomi.eu roms)
the phone goes in deep sleep as you can see in the photos in the link below.
Gps, wifi and bt always on. Tried switching them off, just 1% less of battery drain on standby.
Bought a broken mi 9t pro just to try switching motherboards, just to try that it isn't a electric or physical issue with the phone, but can't do it that right now, waiting the new screen to test the broken phone.

Any suggestion?
Have you tested putting the phone on standby in airplane mode? This is unlikely to be the root of the issue but poor cellular signal may negatively impact the battery life.

tried that also, nothing change. Always 4%+/h of drain in standby.
I've pretty same problem, and it's really strange...
I've a Mi 9T Pro, bought not more than 2 months ago brand new, all stock.
I leave on just the phone active during the night, in both SIM cards: no bt, no wifi, no mobile data active.
The battery drain is around 10%, which is really insane considered that before my 3 years old phone, an Honor 8, in same conditions, was draining not more than 4%.
In general battery is draining really too much.
Passed OTA from MIUI 11 to 12, but the drainage is same.
I'd like to understand what is the issue causing that.
Dude. Same issue for me. It's only 6 months old. I noticed battery loss on miui just a month into purchase. I'd suggest pick a rom without Gapps or one with microG and try them out. I was using evo X and getting around 6-7 hrs SOT. Once I moved to Aim and Omni I started getting 9-10 SOT. I think Gapps is mostly the culprit. Miui sucks these days. I tried miui 12 and was utterly disappointed. Try this and you might just start loving your phone again. I'd say go for Omni and setup microG, install greenify, turn off battery optimisations only for essential messaging apps and turn on aggressive doze. Your sure to see a difference
Try havoc os 3.7 , try it without social apps like instagram, facebook and other crap.
Mine usually lasts around 3 days with 6h sot.
I also have gps , bt , sync and data always on
Tried gms doze? Disabling autostart of apps in miui?

The point, guys, is not to try different ROMs or install apps or not to use social medias because the phone drains battery...
The point is that the phone should not drain battery that much at all!
I think Xiaomi should care more of the firmwares released, trying harder to fix bugs that might be important rather than releasing new features.
My own opinion.
PS. Last night i checked the battery drain thoroughly: from 1.30 am to 7.30 am, just both SIM cards on to receive eventually phone calls, no WiFi, no BT, no internet connection, ND mode active = battery drained 9%
It is not acceptable!!
Clear all apps from memory, clear cache of 'Google Frameworks' and 'Google Play Services' don't restart the phone
I do this whenever I remember usually every few days and get great SOT around 9-11 hours. Although Accubattery says my battery health is 3300 of the 4000 as I've had it for a while and I'm a very very heavy user. Brand new was getting closer to 10-12 hours doing this same method.
I found it by someone posting a random comment somewhere in this forum just don't know who or where I saw it. They gave no explanation as to why it works but just what they did and its worked immediately. Note I'm still on MIUI 11.0.3 Global as I'm nervous this method won't be as effective in more newer MIUI Versions.
If you have a newer version please try and let me know if it still works, hope this helps
Also I reinstall MIUI through the phone after clean flashing it via Mi Flash
That is that I flash clean (erase storage but not lock bootloader) from Mi Flash and then go to the update settings of the phone and then press the 3 dots at the top left and "download latest update" and then install it again
This helped when I was on MIUI 10.X.X but do it out of habit so not sure if it helped for MIUI 11.0.03
edit: Reinstall method
Similar issue with my K20 Pro.
1. The battery backup on Android 9/MIUI 10 was giving me close to 1.5 days of backup of 7-8 hours of screen time.
2. It was decreased to 6-6.5 in Android 10/MIUI 11
3. Now with MIUI 12 it is reduced to 6 hours and with need of charging two times in a single day. All this with no social media apps, only Whatsapp, Youtube, Prime Video, Spotify and MS outlook, teams apps with regular usage. WIFI all the time, no GPS, 2-3 hours of Bluetooth. plus tried deboating MI apps.
So far I have tried PE, EVOX and EU roms but all gave me disappointing battery backup. The battery seems fine only on android pie so my assumption is that battery probably doesn't need replacement and more of xiaomi's firmware related issue on android 10.
It's so disappointing to see such a great piece of hardware holding back because of battery. I hope somebody find a good solution to this issue.
Hi guys, from a couple of weeks now I have a problem with the battery life on my Mi 9t Pro, it's just not like it was before, I'm guessing because of the MIUI 12, or maybe the Android version.I have the phone like almost a year, and today for example, from a full charge from 100 to 55% I have like 2 hours of SOT.I saw on forums that other users have the same problem, does anyone now how to fix this? Tried with battery saver, MIUI Optimization off, Vault app off, etc. Thanks in advance

I made rollback from the latest Miui Global v12.0.3 to EU Rom 20.7.2 now works well.
Some versions have a problem with deep sleep.
Ref. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/20-7-16.56640/post-553875
If do you rollback, is mandatory make format data by twrp.
I have the EU Version. Can i switch from oxygenos to coloros? If yes how?
Can I ask why you want to downgrade your phone? Coloros is terrible and limits a lot of control. I ditched it on the 9RT as soon as I could.
I think the reason might be high battery drain in the EU and IND ROM , the color OS was giving close to 7hours SOT but oos gives like 4 hrs only
I hate to tell you, but having used both the Oppo Find X5 Pro (ColorOS) and OnePlus 10 Pro (OxygenOS) - the Find X5 Pro actually has the better OS. OnePlus removed a lot of the customisation options from ColorOS to "match" older OxygenOS releases, and in the process introduced some annoying bugs like not being able to dismiss hidden notifications.
There's nothing in OxygenOS that goes above and beyond ColorOS these days - in fact, OxygenOS is the poor relative! (that's why my OP 10 Pro has been sold this morning).

And that battery drain is really awful!
I'm not sure if you can go from OOS to COS but I wouldn't bother, the amount of people wanting to go the other way is incredible.
Plus I do not buy into the battery drain issue. My first ever discharge I got a little under 11 hours SOT and I was not holding back at all.
If I had to guess I'd say you could jump to color OS, you'd have to grab a firmware, pull payload.bin then boot to Fastboot mode and flash each image to each part of the phone..
Just an FYI, ROMs are coming so if it were me I'd optimize android 12 OOS as best as I can and wait for the good times to roll in.
I will say coloros has a much longer SOT than OOS, but that is because no more than 5 apps are allowed to launch on startup so it is really debilitating since you will not receive any notifications until you open the app, but then coloros will close the app after a while and you won't get notifications again. ColorOS would be good if they get rid of all the debilitating features, remove phone manager, allow you to change default apps without changing it back, and install the default android installer.
