| Issue | Description | |-------|-------------| | Delayed notifications | Apps like WhatsApp, Gmail, or Telegram don’t notify until opened — because Battery & Performance killed their background service. | | Reduced gaming performance | Aggressive thermal throttling may cause frame drops in heavy games even before the device feels hot. | | Over-aggressive cleanup | Apps that users want running (e.g., music players, GPS trackers) get closed unexpectedly. | | Unable to uninstall | As a system app, it cannot be removed without root access. Disabling it (via ADB) may cause instability or higher battery drain. |
Balancing battery life and performance on Xiaomi devices requires adherence to Android best practices plus MIUI-aware handling of auto-start, battery whitelisting, and aggressive app hibernation. Developers should profile, optimize, and provide clear UX for permissions to ensure app reliability without undue battery impact.
