After a system update, your device works in the background to adapt apps, organize files, and run security scans. This high workload keeps the processor busy. Therefore, it is normal to notice faster battery drain or slight heating for a short time—this is just the system optimizing itself. Please don't worry; once these background tasks are finished, your battery life and device temperature will return to normal.
You can try the following steps to help your phone speed up this optimization process:
I. Accelerate System Optimization
1. Charge While Idle
We recommend connecting your phone to the charger, turning off the screen, and letting it sit undisturbed for at least 2 to 3 hours, preferably at night. This allows the system to quickly finish its background tasks while the power is stable.
2. Give It a Few Days
ystem adaptation usually takes 2 to 3 days. After following the charging step above, simply use your phone as normal for a few days. During this time, the system will finish the remaining optimization tasks in the background, and battery performance will improve naturally.
II. Check for App Compatibility
1. Update Third-Party Apps
Older versions of apps might not be fully compatible with the new system, causing them to drain extra power in the background. We recommend going to the App Market to update all your installed apps to the latest versions.
2. Restart Your Phone
If the situation does not improve after a few days, try restarting your phone. This clears temporary cache files from the update and closes any background processes that might be stuck, ensuring the system runs smoothly.
Increased battery drain after an update is just a temporary phase while your device gets ready to perform even better. Give it a little time to settle into the new system, and the issue will resolve itself. If the battery drain persists for a long time, please contact the realme Customer Service Center, and we will be happy to assist you.
