When the first versions of the latest Xiaomi operating system began to reach our phones, we soon saw how MIUI 12 problems began to bother some users of the Mi 9, among some other models. Unfortunately, some of these Xiaomi battery problems have not only not been fixed, but have spread to more smartphones.
On the company’s support forums as well as on other websites such as reddit , users keep complaining about problems with rapid battery drain after installing the MIUI 12 update. The problem had already been mentioned previously, as we say, in models like the Xiaomi Mi 9, but now they are joined by the owners of the Pocophone F1 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro . Precisely the update of the latter was somewhat chaotic due to the problems found in the software.
There’s a solution?
Beyond limiting the screen time, the use of applications in the background and configuring the airplane mode in some moments when we do not use the mobile, the solution to the MIUI 12 battery problem should come in the form of future firmware versions.
Interestingly, just a year ago, users experienced a similar problem with MIUI 11, weighing down devices like the Xiaomi Mi 9T in a worrying way. Now the situation is repeated with MIUI 12, but on a wider variety of phones that is not 100% determined, according to the moderators of the brand’s community.
Improvements for other mobiles
Software updates is what they have. While owners of the Xiomi Mi 9, Redmi Note 8 Pro and Pocophone F1 face these problems after the update, those who have phones like the Mi 9T Pro and Xiaomi Mi 8 SE have reported that after updating to MIUI 12 , they have found an improvement in battery life.
In the Xiaomi forums, a moderator claimed that “apparently, the same is happening with all devices. MIUI 12 consumes a lot of battery. It is a known problem and we hope that they will be optimized in the next builds”.
While the day of receiving the mentioned patch arrives, you can try more solutions to alleviate this problem such as recalibrating the battery, performing a factory reset to make sure everything is working correctly, or checking if there is any application that is consuming more power than normal.
When Xiaomi releases this long-awaited update, we will inform you of its arrival to end your headaches.
