If you are a user who uses a phone and plays games while charging then it is also a reason for the battery draining issue. Because when you play games or use the phone while charging, it’s drawing power as well as using power at the same time.

So, please don’t play games while charging. Although it has a 4,600mAh battery and last 1 day more or less on a single charge. But, still, some users use their phones while charging.

So, if you are using them then please turn them off after use, otherwise, it will drain the battery too much. And sometimes if there is any device that is infected by any virus nearby, then it will automatically connect to your phone. And will infect your phone too.

5. Disable Location Service:

When we install any application some of them need location service to set up and there are many existing apps on our phone which need location service to do a task.

Apps like food delivery, UPI apps, matrimonial apps, cab apps, Google Maps, and more. So, after using them we forget to turn off the location and it keeps running in the background. And it searching for a better network.

So, that’s the battery is continuously in use, and it drains the battery too much. So, please turn off the location after using it.

6. Use Dark Mode:

To save more battery and get extra backup you can use dark mode on your phone. Nowadays every smartphone comes with a dark mode. Dark mode will not only help you to save battery but also protects your phone from overheating and it also helps to protect your eyes.

When you start using dark mode, it will feel odd for some days. But, trust me once you start using dark mode, then there is no going back. You will addict to the dark mode.

We receive a lot of notifications in a day on our phones. Notifications like app updates, brand sales, matrimonial, and all.

If you don’t know then this notification also drains your battery, because these are a part of processing and activity. And we all know to do any task needs power.

So, you can simply turn off all the notifications. To turn off app notifications follow these steps:

8. Remove Battery Consuming Apps:

We use many apps on our phones, some are very well-optimized and some are not that optimized. And that they consume the battery in your phone.

So if you have any apps which is consuming battery very much then remove them. And if a particular app is very important and you use it daily in your daily routine, then you can find an alternative to that app or can use the lighter version of that app.

Apps like Facebook, take too much battery in your phone so either you can use Facebook in your browser on your phone or you can use the lighter version of Facebook. Which is called (Facebook Lite or “Lite”).

So, you can use it and can fix this issue easily.

9. Don’t Use Battery Saver Applications:

Oh! If you are still using the battery-saving app these days, then you are living in 2016’s time may be. And if you don’t know then battery saving is the biggest culprit and threat to your phone.

If you have installed any kind of battery-saving app on your phone, then please remove it sooner than later. Because battery-saving apps keep running in the background to save more battery.

So, even if your phone is locked or not operational that app also runs in the background and in a search of any virus to kill it.

So, it runs 24/7 in the background and also pushes different notifications also. And consumes battery. And if that battery-saving app is not well optimized, then it becomes more dangerous to your phone.

It become the best portal to drive viruses toward your phone and can infect your phone. So, please remove the battery-saving app from your phone if you have any.

10. Reduce Display Screen Timeout Time:

Screen timeout time is also a big factor in battery life. If you want to get more backup from your battery, then you should reduce the screen timeout time in your Xiaomi 12 Pro.

Many users who set the timeout time longer than recommended, set the timeout from 10 minutes to 30 minutes. And some users disable the screen timeout to infinite. That means it never turns off.

And if accidentally you don’t lock your screen then it stays on and it consumes the battery faster. And because of the AMOLED screen, this phone consumes more battery than any other type of screen.

So, set the timer to 15 seconds to 1 minute, and hardly set it to 2 minutes. It will save the battery.

11. Remove Unusual Apps:

We use a lot of apps on our phones, some are very useful and some are not. We install that app to use it once. And after using them we forget to remove them.

So, that app keeps running in the background and consuming storage, data, RAM, and all. And that consumes too much power. So, please remove that app from your phone.

12. background Running Apps & RAM consuming Apps:

Background running apps is also a big reason for battery-draining issues in your phone. There must be some app that consumes background data, creates a cache, and takes RAM.

And because of background processing, we could not even identify why our phone is heating up and you get panicking. So, identify which app is consuming more background data and close the.

And sometimes we forget to close some apps after using them and jump to another app. And the previous app runs in the background and stays in the RAM.

Then processing power has to process very fast and your phone gets overheated. Because of overheating your phone performs a task to cool down your phone and because of continuous processing power and battery drain very fast.

And this loop goes on, so please close apps after using them and then stop the app to consume data and other stuff to consume in the background. And this can fix Xiaomi 12 Pro battery draining issue.

If you use an OTG cable in your phone, then you might be facing a battery draining issue in your phone. Not everyone uses an OTG cable or adapter in their phone, but if you have used this then you might face the problem.

14. Avoid Using Camera:

This is also a very big reason for the battery draining issue in Xiaomi 12 Pro. Many users have complained that, whenever they use the camera of this phone, it gets overheated and lagged. And because of that battery consumption gets high.

But, one thing we have to understand is that, not only for this phone but for every smartphone, if you use the camera for a long time on any smartphone, it will start overheating, lagging, and finally drains the battery too much.
