sajmark:

you exaggerated by saying "heavy usage"... you got 15hours SOT no doubt but it wasn't on heavy usage.

it's on heavy usage. I'm a heavy phone user for your information.

Omuka:
I get 15 hours SOT on heavy usage from 100 to 0. And I still feel my battery can do better.

15hrs is good.

For now no, until Google rolls out it's call recording feature on its Dailer which is currently on Beta testing.

Meanwhile download a third party app like Total Recall Pro

What is your definition of heavy usage?

Heavy usage is a relative term tho. Someone may watch movies throughout the day and surf the net intermittently while another person may play few hours of online games in addition to surfing the net and music.

Who is the real heavy user here?

Omuka:
I swear to God. Haba why would i lie?

I am not saying you are lying but heavy usage which in most cases is gaming won't get you 15 hours Screen On Time.

The second is not even a heavy user, IMO it is mid to heavy usage.

There are people who play Games back to back while running VPNs at the same time on their phones, as well as screen recording. This is a heavy user.

Then their are those who use their phone for videography, that is heavy usage as well.

Anything that's not tasking on the SoC for extended hours of SoT is not heavy usage. Spending 8 hours on WhatsApp and 4 hours watching movies is light to moderate use. Playing games like CoD, for 7 hours and streaming live sports for another 5 hours is heavy usage.


There's no relativity in the term. Tasks that don't utilize up to half the SoCs power are not heavy.

iKingsley:
the battery is strong though, but 12hrs and you still have 55%? Which implies he should expect 24hrs SOT. Ohh, never!
Only thing that could cause this is maybe he was using it , then topped up the battery without the usage chart resetting
This is from experience

He said '12 hrs of usage' though. It's not clear if he means 12 hrs SOT or 12 hours since last charge. Also, you can 'use' your phone without the screen being on. Playing music for example.

As for the 12hr SOT at 55%, it's not entirely impossible. Just depends on the device and usage.

it wasn't heavy usage, bros.

Disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning. Search Scanning from settings. Update your device if it is not up to date.

Post a screenshot of your battery chart

Change ranking to details and screenshot even without that I can clearly see your terrible SIM reception and poor network and battery draining goes hand in hand.

Your networks are responsible, you have too unstable networks on one device is suicidal. And worse still if both networks are on 4G. Switch the one you aren't using for browsing to 2G.

Your WiFi is on too. Did you disable WiFi scanning cos sometimes, especially when you use Xender, it comes on again. Always check regularly to make sure it's off.

You should be able to squeeze out 7-8hrs SOT from it sha.

Please this is the first time I'll be using a Xiaomi device and I need help. I've been trying to install apps that I downloaded from a third party but it won't install. Only apps that I downloaded from play store installed successfully. Please what can I do?
Redmi 8A

Dannybanky10:
Saw this today when I was playing game 4G+ hope no cause for alarm

It's the LTE-A feature. 4G+ shows up when you are using 2 4G bands at the same time.

I get the 4G+ too on Glo when I'm in a band 28 and band 3 coverage area. Enjoy bro, it's slightly faster than 4G.

I want to buy the redmi 9 from nurex01. Is he trustworthy? And can I pay him directly or use a middle man?

Safe to deal with him.

You downloaded an MTK app for a snapdragon phone.

Most of them won't work. I transferred almost 100 apps from my infinix to here, out of the almost 50 I tried installing, I still had to go to playstore to download almost 30 inside.

2 different chipset. You're stuck. Or go download app built for snapdragon

I was googling why we have to change our device region to India before we can customize our fonts and I ran into this, I never knew about it before and I know so many people were Ignorant like I was, so I decided to bring it here incase you need it especially if you are checking the version of software that your device is running.

I downloaded a MIUI eu rom for r8, and going by this explanation, it happens to be a China version

xiaomi.eu_multi_HM8_V11.0.8.0.PCNCNXM_v11-9.

P is pie
CN is Redmi 8
CN is China

It's supposed to be a EU Rom, what now?

Xiaomi.eu is a custom ROM based on China ROM. The eu is in small letters and doesn't denote Europe.

The ROMS with EUXM are the official stable EEA/ Europe ROM
