1. Fixing Battery Drain (HyperOS)

HyperOS is new and can have background drain. Let's fix it.

Steps 1-3: Power Tuning

System Ads: Go to Settings > Fingerprints > Authorization & Revocation. Revoke "msa" and "GetApps". This stops ads from draining battery.
5G Saver: Go to Battery > Battery Saver > 5G Battery Saver. Turn it ON. It uses 4G for background tasks and 5G only for heavy downloads.
Refresh Rate: Set Refresh Rate to "Default" (Dynamic). Don't force 120Hz for video apps like YouTube/Netflix, it wastes power.

2. Solving Heating (Charging & Gaming)

120W charging generates heat. Let's manage it safely.

Steps 4-6: Thermal Control

Charging Speed: Go to Battery > Charging Settings. Turn OFF "Boost Charging Speed" if you are not in a hurry. It reduces heat significantly.
WildBoost 3.0: In Game Turbo, enable "WildBoost Optimization". It intelligently throttles the CPU just enough to keep it cool without dropping FPS.
Remove Case: The glass/metal back needs airflow. Remove the TPU case while charging or playing Genshin Impact.

3. Fixing Gaming Lag & Stutter

Is your 8 Gen 2 stuttering? It shouldn't.

Steps 7-9: Speed Boost

Memory Extension: Go to Additional Settings > Memory Extension. Turn it OFF. Virtual RAM is slower than LPDDR5X and causes micro-stutters in games.
Game Turbo: Set "Touch Response" to max and "Sensitivity" to medium in Game Turbo settings for better aim.
Clear Cache: Use the Security App to clear cache before launching heavy games.

💡

POCO Tip: Use the "Performance Monitor" in Game Turbo overlay to check real-time FPS and temperature while gaming.

4. Stabilizing Network for Gaming

Ping spikes can ruin a match. Let's fix the modem settings.

Steps 10-12: Low Latency

Traffic Mode: In WiFi Assistant, turn OFF "Traffic Mode". It restricts bandwidth for background processes, which can cause connection errors.
WiFi Assistant: Turn OFF "Select best networks automatically". It switches networks mid-game, causing disconnection.
Reset Network: If ping is unstable, Reset WiFi/Mobile Network settings to clear old cache.

Warning: Use the original 120W charger and cable. Third-party cables may not support HyperCharge and can cause slow charging or heating.

Additional Maintenance (Steps 13-15)

Step 13 (Updates): Check for HyperOS updates. POCO releases specific "Gaming Stability" patches for F series.
Step 14 (Restart): Restart your phone every 2 days. It clears memory leaks and keeps the UI smooth.
Step 15 (Debloat): Uninstall unwanted games and apps that came pre-installed to free up resources.
