I'm a new user to redmi here. Been using the phone for 2 weeks already, noticed some flaws (imo).

The battery life seems really poor to me, with wifi turned on and normal browsing (not watching video), it only last like 3-4 hours, using facebook most of the time.

Updated the phone to latest UI as soon as I received it. But I am only allowed to run 1 app at a time. For example, if I clicked any link on facebook that opens up the browser, I will have to scroll all the way down again after returning to facebook since it closed the app for me. I've turned off memory cleaning but this still happens. Same thing didn't exist in my previous Lenovo A889 before.

By the way, the phone is good for the High-res screen, good looking design and friendly UI.

So is there anyone here who can help me with my problem? It really annoys me when the phone keep on shutting down apps when I am chatting. Is there something wrong with my phone or what?

I am running between Browser, Facebook and Messenger. It's crazy when I can't reply messages on both Facebook and Messenger. It forces me to shut down the Messenger app while I just started to text and I can't reply directly on Facebook too (it opens up the Messenger apps again and close and again...). End up I have to close my browser (which I have an article that's being read, it disappears after the apps restart).

Even when I am running Kuwo for music then opens up browser, the music player got shut down. This really annoys me, any solution to this?

Okay I'll go try first then reply again to see if it works

And the phone is constantly showing around 200MB of RAM available all of the time even with no apps running, considered normal?

Tried it just now, same thing still happens. Locked down FB, Messenger and Kuwo. The Messenger got shut down again when I am playing music and replying at the same time

Not sure if I'm the only one, but even my previous Lenovo A889 using MTK, it lags less than the Redmi 1S. Didn't game with it so not sure about the gaming performance though.

hmm... My phone is pretty clean I would say, running a custom theme downloaded from the Mi Theme store. Tried using default theme but the RAM usage seems pretty same so decided to use the custom theme. Anyways I noticed this ram issue since the first day I received the phone, didn't bother with it at first as I thought it wouldn't affect performance. Now the lag and auto shutting down apps really bother me as it greatly affects the user experience.

Did you update the UI to latest or it was updated in factory already?

Thanks for the tips sifu

You saved my day, was being so mad and disappointed to the phone until I saw this

That's weird. I turned on another Redmi unit (brand new, fresh out of box). Didn't update the OS, opened youtube + facebook + browser all at once, it runs smoothly. Perhaps I should format my current unit?

But even just using those apps in my Redmi, it starts to lag and shuts down automatically.

Is there anyway to revert the OS to older instead of v36?

any idea how to do that or simple guide to do so?

Sorry I am a total noob in phone softwares.

thanks a lot

yeap i noticed this too. yesterday my phone's "lock" button isn't working for no reason. can't unlock can't turn off. end up have to remove and reinsert the battery. after the reboot, the phone works smoothly

Another problem occurred to me phone. It now takes super long time to turn on WiFi (ranging around 30 seconds), before it needs like 3 to 5 only.
