Been using my GT 6T for almost 1 year and 10 months and I've been noticing many weird battery issues with this phone. Not just in UI 7.0 but also in UI 6.0.

And it's not just bad battery backup. It's just weird behaviour.

If the battery drops below 20% it takes almost 2 hours to fully charge.

If I charge it above 20% it charges fully in just about 45mins.

Sometimes even after fully charging to 100% the battery will keep dropping even without any use. I have to plug it in again and leave it for a long time only then it drains normally.

Sometimes I get insane battery backup like 7 or 8 plus hours of sot and still 20% left.

And then there are some bad days or weeks where the battery behaves like I mentioned earlier.

The battery health is at 97% despite being almost two years old.

There is no bulging or swelling, everything seems fine. No unusual heating either.

Idk wtf is wrong. Because every other aspect of this phone is soo good. Performance, camera, gaming, multimedia etc etc is all perfect. Except the inconsistent battery readings

Should I replace my battery?

And also are there any good custom roms available for this phone? Because I think realme ui might be the problem here.

Edit: forgot to mention a couple more issues.

The standby battery drain during the night is horrible.

Normally I'd lose 4 to 6 percent during the night (which is still worse than alot of older phones I've owned)

But if I go to sleep while the battery percent is at 20% or nearby 20% (because I don't want to charge overnight)

It would already be completely dead by the morning lol

And yes, battery below 20% doesn't last at all. Barely 5 to 10 mins under normal use and it will shut down.

With the current scenario there are no other phones under 20k with this decent specs. What are your opinions on this phone. Heard that there are some issues with ui..

Hi, i have a Realme 8 5g (RMX3241) 4gb ram.

Now, i know it's not the most powerful phone or even a very good one for that matter, but is 1.5 gb of active ram out of 4 (well i did the ram expansion thing too dunno uf that works tho. I have it on 4+4) even with no background application normal? Am i doing something wrong or is it that the phone just sux.

I bought the Realme 16 Pro Plus 512GB/12GB on sale for 386 euros. What do you think? Is it a good buy for the price?

Does anyone have this phone and can give me their opinion? I'm coming from a Poco X5 Pro.

I am getting REALME P4 PRO @ 29K. Is it worth it to buy at this price.

Which smartphone I should consider under 30k other than this.

Hey there I was looking for any coustom rom I can find since realme 11 5g ui is quite boring to me other than that this phone heat a lot (ok it's because of whether and stuff but still in general it also heat up) other than that my phone don't hold up much battery backup it's like 1.5 year old now since I bought it and but still I think it's because of my launcher I was looking for something light and I got some stuff running in the background too but that's another story

other than that customisation potential is low and I was looking for something new

I'm currently on a Realme GT2 Pro with 256GB. But it's not enough now, the battery died too fast, it started to overheat, and the performance on my favorite games drops with each month. My current phone did a great job for the past years but it's time for change.

And there I saw the Realme GT8 Pro Aston Martin edition with 1TB (imported from china since European model is capped at 512GB, at least in Poland) and I have a genuine question.

IS IT WORTH IT? Because in my country it will turn out really cheap unlike buying similar ones with 512GB in europe (about 2000 PLN less for twice as much of memory)

And what is the difference between the normal GT8 Pro and GT8 Pro Aston Martin edition? Is there any change in UI or is everything the same?

I recently bought a realme 15 pro. It is asking for a new software update (to android 16). Should I update it. Some people said to me that upgrading can sometimes cause problems

Please help — I’m having a serious issue with my Realme GT phone after restarting it.

I was traveling and using the phone while it was at 1% battery. The phone eventually turned off normally because the battery died. After charging it and turning it back on, the PIN screen appears normally, but it keeps saying my PIN is incorrect even though I am 100% sure it’s the right PIN.

What’s strange is that it now gives me unlimited tries. Usually Android only allows a few attempts before locking or asking for another verification method. That makes me think this could be some kind of system glitch or encryption issue.

I absolutely cannot factory reset the phone because I have over 10,000 memories/photos/files on it that are extremely important to me.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows possible solutions?
Things I’m considering:

• waiting for the phone to charge more
• restarting again
• safe mode
• recovery options without data loss
• whether the battery dying caused an Android encryption glitch

Any help or suggestions would mean a lot to me. I really appreciate it.
