Abstract:
In this thread I will summarizes the problems faced / solutions till now and future / doubt clear / Suggestions for Redmi 1s users. You can able to get some technical knowledge which will cleare your doubts about some of the problems you are facing in your Redmi 1s.
Introduction:
Problems:
- When Redmi 1s released in India, Mi had faced a lot of problems due to the Mi fans negative feedback about the device.
- The main problems are heating issue and less RAM.
- Due to heating problems users can't hold the mobile in their hand as the hand sweat a lot.
- It is not summer here in India. So Think what will happen in Summer season.
- Due to less RAM problem sometimes apps crashed, music player stopped playing etc. issue faced by users.
I am wondering, Redmi 1s had been selling in China and other countries for a long time. Why nobody face such issues, then how Indian Redmi 1s got so many issues? Can anyone please help me to explain ??
Solution from Mi:
- In the entry time the version of MIUI was v34 / v36.
- After listening to these issues the developers worked hard to solve the RAM issue first and the did it.
- They released the MIUI v41 in which the ram issue is solved. You can open more that 10 apps simultaneously and can switch between them and there is no crashing of apps.
- So according big developers of android the best possible way of solving the ram issue is to implement zram concept in the kernel. (To know more about zram please keep on reading.)
- I am also guessing that Mi developers have implemented that zram concept.
Doubts among the Mi Fans:
- After release of the v41 the mi fans have again gave feedback that though the ram issue is solved a new problem arises i.e. the battery is draining faster.
- Will swapping kill my sdcard?
- Also heat problem is not yet solved.
- The developer this time working on how to reduce the heating issue in Redmi 1s. They have succeeded too in reducing the heat.
My Research on new v45:
- I was testing the new version v45 yesterday for more than an hour. Below are my findings.
- See the battery usage on standby time.
- So from this I can tell you that the developers are working hard in reducing the heating problem. So we have to be take some chill pill !!!
Ohh you are thinking I forgot about battery draining problem?
- To enter into that discussion we have to go into bit technical thing. Don't worry you can understand what it is. It is so simple.
- So let me explain you what is ZRAM. You can search about zram concept if u want to know more about it. Here is a good one.
- Here is a simple explanation of zram in my non-technical language.
ZRAM
- As I have already told to solve the low RAM problem zram concept is introduced.
- So how zram can get you more ram?
- When you open more than one apps your ram becomes full. But at a time you will not use all the apps. So few apps are inactive.
- When RAM is nearly full the operating system takes the inactive processes (unused apps), compress them and put them in a specialized position inside the ram ( not in the internal sdcard , so your sdcard is safe).
- Then you will get more RAM for other apps to open.
- When you come back to the unused app it becomes active. The CPU uncompressed the app process for the user to use.
- So you got the concept?
- So that is the whole process.
Advantage of ZRAM - You got more RAM.
Disadvantage of ZRAM - The compression, compression process done by cpu takes more battery.
Now I hope you got the idea why your battery drain is high in v41 and in subsequent future updates ?

- So you got the concept?
Inactive apps -> Compressed -> Saved to RAM specialized location -> (You get more RAM) -> When needed by User -> Uncompressed -> Restore back to active process
- So that is the whole process.
Advantage of ZRAM - You got more RAM.
Disadvantage of ZRAM - The compression, compression process done by cpu takes more battery.
Now I hope you got the idea why your battery drain is high in v41 and in subsequent future updates ?
Suggestions:
- To get more battery life you have to use less apps parallely.
- Whenever do not use an app further just kill it using the task manager by swiping up.
- As more numbers of apps u use leads to more battery drain.
- Read tutorials from the below links.
- Last but not the least keep doing experiments !!!
