Yeah but Poco, and all other Mi8 are pratically the same phone, so it's really a shame this from xiaomi.

Xiaomi mi3 display

I got a xiaomi mi3 td a few weeks ago. Untill now its really awesome and in my opinion the worlds best phone ecspecially for this the price. But Im experiencing a really annoying issue. The battery drains much faster than it should (sometimes 800mW). It last only around 10 hours (at normal usage) other mi3's last around 2 days with same usage.
The screen is draining up to 70% of the battery even if its on low brightness!
After some time "googling" this issue, i found a thread where someone was experiencing the same issue with an s4, but nobody could help him...
i believe in you guys :laugh:
So pls help
bump

I believe the Android 4.4.4 update(s) fix battery issues for those facing them.
Try Developer rom 4.4.4
I suggest you to try the latest 4.8.8 developer version.

You What is your screen on time? The battery can be drained within the hours you mentioned if you are using 3g and using phone heavily, I have got about 6.5hours screen on time on average with 3g
On another note Op has the TD version, which is the Chinese version, so be careful when selecting the Roms for flashing

Which ROM are you running on your mi3?

Should I update my recently bought Honor Play?

It's currently of oreo and it heats a lot for normal non-gaming use. :/ it's the 4GB variant and I heard that new updates were buggy and made phone worse so is it better to compromise few new faults coming with updates than heating on old android version?

What about Battery issue and some other issues and people trying to move back to oreo bricking their phone?
I have played pubg for an hour and it's never heated up, it gets warm but nothing beyond that at all,
I have the same exact question. No idea if I should update... I had to return my xiaomi mi a2 lite after updating it cause it had issues and I'm not ganna mess with rooting etc to try fix it.

Mi 9 heating all the time.

I am on 11.0.5.0 global rom and the phone is always hot and even the battery backup has reduced since the last update. What should I do?

Find out who's eating the battery. Or find someone capable and willing to look at your phone's logcat. There are too many possibilities with so generic information.

General Lets appreciate the enhanced MIUI

The latest two betas of Xiaomi.eu based on Chinese MIUI enhanced version has remarkable stability, much better battery life- for first time since I got this phone, once only charge to 90% keeps the phone rocking for the whole day even with extensive and heavy use. These betas are almost totally bug-free for Mi 11 ultra.
Many threads here in this forum are filled with scary stories... including a few of my own like those of others. Wanted to give a clearer idea to potential new buyers of this phone.
How are these compared to the latest stable? Because I'm having some issues on it I didn't have on global stable
I'm currently on Xiaomi.eu 21.8.26 but I haven't noticed the performance and battery life improvements so far - is there a way to check if the new features of MIUI Enhanced are definitely enabled under any of the settings?

Compared to the global 12.5.4 and Chinese MIUI 12.5.10, there is noticeable improvement on these Xiaomi.eu betas. I have not tried stable Xiaomi.eu. So I would not know.

I am on the same beta and have noticed the improved MIUI very clearly. Despite my maximum and heavy use, I cannot drain the juice of the phone to under 10% in a day. For similar use, I had to charge the phone twice previously when I was using the official global and chinese MIUI.
And also the UI is butter smooth as well. There are no jitters at all.
There is no way to know from inside the firmware that whether you are running the enhanced MIUI. I noticed the improvements on 21.8.18 first and then searched the Xiaomi.eu forums. There, the devs confirmed to a question by a user that this beta (21.8.18) is based on enhanced version of MIUI.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and feedback.
I'm now downloading Xiaomi.eu 21.9.1 and will monitor my battery performance to see if there's been any improvements.

I've installed the latest weekly from Xiaomi EU yesterday and I must say that is working extremely well,it still lacks on performance slightly on cold app start despite official global (I would be curious to try the official chinese weekly it must be a sky rocket). I confirm so far that many bugs have been resolved like stuttering when the rear display is on, whatsapp backup restore doesn't crash anymore, cpu temp looks cooler now and 120hz are really smooth. Great job. I'm really looking forward to see if enhanced version coming official on global devices will be as great
Glad to know it worked for you like it is doing for me. I launch apps via their shortcuts created with a free app from google play (I just cant stand the app icon labels. Creating shortcuts achieve label-less icons). The apps start instantly this way. So I may have overlooked the app start up time when launched from actual app icon.
The Today's beta include the September security patch. That is a hot hot cake for me .
I will greatly appreciate if the official stable MIUI with the enhanced features drop quickly. Nevertheless, we have at least some pathway for the time being to be able to use the phone with all its full potential without major bugs. This is the way for Xiaomi to walk on. Fix the vital software!!
May I ask what's the name of the app for launching the apps? It sounds weird to me but it is worth a try. Also I would add that fingerprint scanner is kuch faster now as well. Great

There are many. I like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rk.android.app.shortcutmaker
I found a little bug
With YouTube vanced when I have PiP video on the display, I experience contant stutter on browser navigation.
@hellodrsoul may I ask you please to do a test for me regarding the app cold start time?
If you can please test both with your shortcut or with app drawer and check if you see any difference

Question Temperature

Hai,
Recently bought the Mi 11 ultra chinese version.
Now installed eu stable latest rom.
Everything was fine for like 5-6 days.
Then it started to get heated without any reasons. Sometimes it will be fine, sometime for the basic browsing & YouTube watching, cos heats up to 50-52 degree. Just the browsing also feels the heat.
Tried flashing the rom from the scratch again, tried the underclock module from xda, still the same. Normal cpu heat itself is 43 - 45 degree sometimes.
And in 8k video & pubg gaming sessions cause the cpu to reach 55+ degree.
Is it normal? During no hard use also feeling warm is normal in Mi 11 ultra?
Should I try for a service or replacement?

You made yourself a problem. The Chinese and European versions have different support for the radio bands, which may be related to the difference in hardware.

Nop. EU rom is completely based on the Chinese roms.
EU stable version is chinese stable modified. & eu weekly is chinese weekly rom.
Just more optimized, bloatware & Spyware free roms.

Just a suggestion, since it would seem that your issue started only recently after the rom update.
I was on 13.0.12 CN , then changed to 13.0.2.0 global . The phone seems to be running cooler , and doesn't get warm at all when on idle.

Sorry, I think I didn't explained it properly.
I bought the phone and same day flashed the EU rom. And it was working all fine in eu rom for like 5-6 days. Then the issue started. Now it's 15 days of using this device.
This is a Chinese version phone and was on global rom when I bought, so was already bootloader unlocked. I simply formated everything & flashed eu stable.
By the way.
Can you help me with the temperature you are seeing.
On normal use, did u ever faced warm screen & back?
What temperatures you are seeing in normal use & moderate use.
Ever faced phone heating in standby mode?
