Pill is not part of the MIUI operation. Hold any Xiaomi phone that came with Android 10. Not every stock android feature you expect to find on MIUI. That is why it is a custom Skin.

As for floating window it is their decision to make and a lot of thoughts might have gone into it.

There is no point packing in features that will drop a phones performance.

How do I change the second one (Airtel 2) to Glo.
A Glo sim is currently in that place, and I typed it in the SIM Cards settings, but it is still showing Airtel2.

;Dpls stop it. Do you know how a battery cell work?

How can a battery cell still give you the same battery life after 2½ years of usage, do you even know what wear and tear means?

Most modern phones ba3 have a life span of 2-3 years, you can never get the same battery life compare to when you first bought the phone.

So all this 18hrs /20hrs na wash.

I'm using the redmi note 5 Pro 4/64gb too,and battery life is not the same as when I first got it.

Okay. I probably raised the bar too high. I was actually thinking the navigation bar thingy was an Android 10 feature but still shocked it's absent. I'll stick to your reason for the floating windows though but then...

Guy, even 20hrs after 2 and a half years is not an exaggeration. But of course, you can assume I don't know anything like you did others here. So I'm good.

Not all banks work with Playstore especially if it is a Nigerian Account.

For GTB you have to switch to a US account.

You can try the 9pay method.
please can you explain the 9pay method, can you purchase an app on play store via 9pay?

Pls calm down.

Yes battery degrades over time but how quickly it does depends on how it was used in the first place.

If you take good care of a battery that was previously able to get you through the day, it will most likely continue to do so after two years. Other considerations are software and setup.

My phone currently lasts me half a day, not cos the battery is bad, but because I run battery hungry apps and games all the time and I dont mind. If I give the same phone to you, it may last you two days because your usage is a lot more conservative

I hope we can finally put this battery thing to rest

I say all this based on my usage experience. My iPhone were usually 2 or 3 years old and my Xperia c3 dual was ancient. The c dual in particular was old and the battery health was poor but i still managed to aggressively adjust the settings (including turning off Mobile data when screen was off) so well that it managed to last the day

Check the Xiaomi Compilation Thread, I think a link to the 9pay tutorial is there.

I don't use it. I don't even have a 9mobile SIM Card, Fidelity MasterCard works with Google Play so I am good.

Oga there's no way a 2½ year ba3 will still give you 18hrs ba3 life.

Get that fact, no matter how you use it.
