Xiaomi 15T Pro: Factory reset fixed most issues + Instagram bugs & battery question.
Hi everyone!
I recently factory reset my Xiaomi 15T Pro to address the list of issues I previously described here: [Link].
Now the smartphone is running much better—the battery life has improved, it's more responsive, and there are almost no freezes. To make it run even smoother, I disabled the RAM extension feature (the 12GB + 4GB setup). Honestly, 12GB of physical RAM is more than enough nowadays. The virtual RAM uses the internal storage, and for some reason, it was causing slowdowns even when the physical memory wasn't full. After turning it off, those micro-stutters I used to notice (especially on the lock screen) completely disappeared.
While the battery life is much better now, I do have a question for you all. I usually cycle the battery between 20% and 80% (sometimes it drops a bit lower), and it lasts me almost from morning to night. Of course, if I spend some time on social media like Instagram or Telegram, it drains faster. Since I got the phone back in December, I've done about 144 charge cycles. Up until yesterday, I was stuck on firmware version 3.0.9.0, but I just got the 3.0.320.0 update, so hopefully it improves even more. Still, to be honest, I expected a bit more from this battery. How is your battery life looking?
The only app that is still buggy—which makes me think it's an app issue rather than a phone issue—is Instagram. It randomly crashes and throws me back to my profile page. Also, there's a weird bug with ads: if an ad has music playing, when I scroll to the next ad, the music from the first one keeps looping over it, and the same thing happens for all subsequent ads. Have any of you encountered this?
