Newbie question. Note10lite
Simple browsing heats up the phone and battery drops like crazy. Google chrome is bad, tried opera is heats up less but still uncomfortable. As if I am playing some heavy game.
No other background app running, fresh reboot. Wifi or 4g same. Oneui2.1
Other app like watch movie YouTube all ok

What did I miss?

Location is always on.
But disabled by permission for browsers

Ya trying samsung browser. Have to migrate over

Still learning to tame this phone. Suka suka just rage for no reason no background app running.
Already killed samsung flow and windows sync as these just eats up battery

As I type on Google chrome, battery dropping 1% every 2 minute.

Edit Already using greenify. It reports no background running
Also manually added all apps to deep sleep

I have enabled security scanning. The next culprit could be the damn anitvirus McAfee. Dammed on pc

Agree I have used greenify many many years ago for those cheapo phones. Never in my dream I have to use it on a premium device.

Chrome is running fine on my other xiaomi devices but all snapdragons. Its also running well on my tabs4 which is also snapdragon.

Agree on google movie. One of the first app to uninstall.

Anyway to uninstall Bixby?

Xiaomi nemesis is facebook. Always slip pass the battery saver. Only way is to uninstall and use fb lite or use browser. I did the same on this note10lite. Xiaomi can last 2 days with active use and I never have to be anxious with battery life or bring powerbank out. Is all exynos so bad?

I see that there is also no way to uninstall McAfee. Can disable auto scanning only.

from same location?

Reporting in, regarding browser
samsung browser also heats up the phone, just not as bad as chrome

testing ms edge browser now.

Its brand new.. just bought.

Can remove but can enable back?
The adb command basically uninstall it

try re-register the fingerprint.

i find the optical fingerprint reader pretty useless compared to normal capacitive ones.
end up using pincode most of the time

Ever since maxis introduced the unlimited data plan. Quality gone down the drain haha
Anyway, try switch to 3g or 2g even and test again
Yours could also be an issue of you are in between two towers. Have you tried in other location?

And lately, there are many illegal private towers. If you are connected to it then u get poor calls.

Tried clear cache. Phone still drops 1% every 3 minute or so.
Greenify reports no background running
Samsung battery shows the biggest culprit is still browser be it chrome or Samsung.
Maybe can only use opera mini -->nope still drains.
i am out of ideas. running other applications wont drain so fast.


Note10lite is using optical fingerprint.
I got other xiaomis using capacitive, ultrasonic and optical.
Optical is the poorest of all
Capacitive is fastest but cannot be wet
Ultrasonic can unlock even with wet fingers

yup original malaysia set.
no problem with other app. just browser issue. stream video youtube etc all ok.
even play game use less power than browser

i am begining to suspect the keyboard


not plastic.. is Glasstic haha still can break.
i prefer either full plastic or metal.
full plastic/metal you know it wont break.
metal feels premium and better conduct heat. but cannot nfc

note 10 = ultrasonic
note 10 lite = optical

then can report to maxis liao
illegal tower repeaters is by user themself to boost the signal.

try another phone and see.

Lithium battery enemy is draining to zero and also heat.
Try to keep the battery charged is the best policy

The 300 charge cycle is counted if you discharged it then charge again.

Can share the actual db rating?
Can either get it from cell info app
Or dial *#0011# select the stack and see the rsrp numbers. From there u can also see if you are logged into the right frequency
Check both phones if they are in the same channel and cellid too

https://www.digi.com/support/knowledge-base...strength-values

Rsrp = receive power (ignore the -, smaller number better)
rsrq = quality of signal (ignore the -, smaller number better)
rssi = total power


s10 rsrp = -101 (win)
n10 rsrp = -105
n10lite rsrp = -67 reference

s10 rsrq = -9 (win)
n10 rsrq = -11
nlite rsrq = -11 reference

s10 rssi = -70
n10 rssi =?
n10lite = -36 reference

so despite the number of bars, do look at the actual values

both s10 and n10 are connected to digi, band 3 1800mhz

i have thrown in data of my n10lite, about 200m line of sight from tower, celcom band 3 also.

hmm.. sorry i dint dig through the posts.
whats the processor for your s10 and n10?

for samsung, you can check/lock your band using
*#2263#


select sim, then band disable. generally higher frequency = faster speed, but less coverage

you can experiment to force your phone to use higher frequency, for example band 7 2600mhz instead of 3 1800mhz

a new update appeared for n10lite
for security patch 1 aug 2020
