1. Fixing Battery Drain (Debloat MIUI)

MIUI runs many background services like "Glance" and "MSA" (Ads) that eat battery. Let's kill them.

Steps 1-3: Ad Removal

Revoke Authorization: Go to Settings > Passwords & Security > Authorization & Revocation. Toggle OFF "msa" and "GetApps". This stops system-wide ads.
Disable Glance: Go to Lock Screen > Glance for Mi. Turn it OFF. It uses data and battery to fetch wallpapers constantly.
Restrict Data Usage: Go to Security App > Data Usage > Restrict Data Usage. Block background data for apps you don't use often.

2. Solving Heating Issues (5G)

The 5G modem on budget chips can generate heat if the signal is weak.

Steps 4-6: Thermal Control

Preferred Network Type: If 5G is spotty in your room, switch to "Prefer LTE". Constant switching between 4G/5G heats up the phone.
Game Turbo: While gaming, open Game Turbo sidebar and select "Balanced" mode instead of "Performance" to keep temps under 40°C.
Clear Cache: After a heavy gaming session, use the "Cleaner" in Security App to clear cache files that might be stuck in RAM.

3. Fixing UI Stutter App Freezing

Virtual RAM sounds good, but on budget UFS storage, it can actually slow down the phone.

Steps 7-9: Speed Boost

Memory Extension: Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Memory Extension. Turn it OFF. Physical RAM is much faster than virtual RAM.
Animation Scale: Enable Developer Options (Tap MIUI Version 7 times). Set "Window/Transition/Animator Scale" to 0.5x.
System Launcher: If home screen lags, update the POCO Launcher from the Google Play Store or clear its cache.

💡

POCO Tip: Restart your phone once a week. MIUI accumulates "System logs" that can slow down the device over time.

4. Stabilizing WiFi Connection

WiFi drops during BGMI matches? It's likely the "WiFi Assistant".

Steps 10-12: Network Fixes

WiFi Assistant: Go to WiFi Settings > WiFi Assistant. Turn OFF "Select best networks automatically". It disconnects WiFi even if the signal drops slightly.
Reset Bluetooth/WiFi: Go to Connection & Sharing > Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile Networks, and Bluetooth.
DNS Setting: Set Private DNS to "Auto" or use "dns.google" for faster resolution.

Warning: Use the 18W/22.5W inbox charger. Using higher wattage chargers (like 67W) won't charge it faster but will heat up the battery significantly.

Additional Maintenance (Steps 13-15)

Step 13 (Updates): Always update "Security App" and "System Service Plugin" from System Apps Updater.
Step 14 (Autostart): Go to Apps > Permissions > Autostart. Disable autostart for apps like Facebook and Shopping apps.
Step 15 (Factory Reset): Last resort. Go to About Phone > Factory Reset. Backup data to PC first.
