Xiaomi Mi 9T: How to Fix the Battery Problem with Android 10

It was at the beginning of January, when Xiaomi globally launched the update to MIUI 11 based on Android 10 for the Mi 9T. The update has not reached all markets at the same time, but it is already present in a large number of devices. Now, many users are reporting abnormal performance in battery life , as a result of the update.

The specialized forums are beginning to be filled with Mi 9T owners who report the same problem. Its battery lasts much less since they have upgraded to MIUI 11 with Android 10. In addition and although those affected are sharing various solutions , those do not seem to work for all devices.Mi-9T-battery-problem

The battery lasts less

It is the MIUI 11.0.4.0 update that also includes the security patch of January 2020 which, far from fixing past errors, is lacrating the battery of many Mi 9T. Some users report that after the update the terminal has a range between 3 and 4 hours less. Apparently the main reason for this excess consumption is the Android system , according to battery statistics. Other users indicate that the system is taking more than 30% of autonomy after updating.

Are there any solutions?

If you have not updated your Xiaomi Mi 9T to Android 10, it is prudent to wait. Keep in mind that new versions must still be debugged and that it is not the first time something similar happens. However, Xiaomi must already be behind the patch that solves the problem, so if you have not updated you are still in luck.

What users test

It has not yet been given the specific origin of the error, but some users are reporting the solutions that work for them, although they are not valid to stop all equally. However, if you are in the same situation, try these possible solutions:

  • Clear the cache of all applications
  • Disable automatic application startup (many are starting automatically without permission)
  • Disable MIUI optimization within developer options
  • Factory Reset

At the moment they are the measures that some users say they are applying, although as we say they do not seem to be working at all equally. The most sensible thing would be to wait for the Xiaomi update to solve the problem and as we say, if you have not updated yet, stay alert to do so when the problem has disappeared.
