Battery problem and heating MI A2 LITE

[Aguscali]

Hi, I bought the xiaomi my a2 lite version 32gb / 3gb for the second time, because with the first one I bought I had the same problem that I mention now.
Basically the cell phone gives me between 3 and 4 hours of screen, using 50% brightness and only applications such as Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Chrome (I do not use any type of games since that is the main problem).
And the main problem is that I practically can not play basic games such as Clash Royale, Candy Crush, Brawl Stars, Free fire since the minutes to start playing the phone raises a temperature between 39-40 degrees and that's where the battery it drains by eg playing Clash Royale at 10 minutes the battery drops by 10%.
And finally to add that it is not a minor detail is that the cell battery at night without using it drains 15% -20% for about 8 hours.

And I was worried that mine took 8% while I sleep, man you sure feel frustrated :s
Have you tried to calibrate the battery with an app (one that needs root)? I'm thinking about doing so, I can never get more than 5hs of screen time, being in Android 9 and with "auto battery" on.

I think you got a problem.... i usually get 11 hours of SOT

try install battery monitoring apps like AccuBattery, BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock detector. they show you what app is draining your battery.

As far as i know Facebook is a huge battery drainer. Maybe try using alternatives like Friendly or Folio (both in playstore)

im using Magisk module LKT and WakeBlock and i get something around 10-12h of SOT and 0.3-0.6% battery drain per hour in idle.

I've sent mine to warranty for the exact same problem. Waiting for a new one!

No, at the moment the only thing that I tried was to restore it from the factory but I did not solve anything.
if it is a pity that this happens because the cell phone is good in general.

Too bad, for my part, I think I'll do the same thing. It's the second time this problem has happened to me with the same cell phone.

I will try to do that but besides the problem that the battery does not last, it is also in that the cell phone reaches 40 degrees playing basic games and it is very annoying the truth
Thanks for the help: D

I think your device is faulty. I have a Mi A2 Lite too but I never faced problems like yours.
I manage to get about 2 and 1/2 days of battery life with almost 10h of SOT (even though I don't use the phone heavily) and, during the night period, I haven't faced any drain at all; when I wake up, my phone has the same battery % than 7 hours before.

Despite that, I also have a problem regarding phone heating, but it happens during charging periods. My device's temperatures grow significantly every time I put it into charging. I've always used the original charger, but I start to think it has some problems because even its surface heats up during the process. I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing that. Do you also have this issue?

If I have to use the guarantee and they change me for another
And as for the charger, if I have the same problem
If I plug the cell phone with 20%, the cell phone starts to heat too much for the front and back and reaches up to about 40 degrees
The solution I could find is that I plug it in between 50 and 60% and that way it does not heat up.

I guess Xiaomi did it on purpose in order to make the phone charge faster when it's low on battery and then make him slow down when it's almost there.
But of course, in order to do that, the charger and the phone overheat because the first one goes (let's say) full power for the first half of the process and then it cools down when there's no need to "push" anymore.
It's logical, but it annoys me anyway since I know that, with time, the battery is going to wear out.

I wonder if using another charger will solve the problem. I'll try.
