Under settings, there is a Battery App that can tell you which Apps are draining the most battery. If some Apps are still running while you are sleeping and you deem them unimportant, then you may want to restrict their background activity. You need to be careful which apps you are restricting, Messenger Apps need to be running in the background to alert the phone that there are new messages. Next, you may also want to remove as much bloat and adware as possible.

Just updated to HyperOS 2 Android 15 & so far so good.

Only thing is the change in the layout of the icons. There's no setting to choose 4x6 or 5x6. Only standard or dense.
Standard will be the 4x6. If you choose dense, it will be the 5x6 but the size of the icon names will also be decreased. Wished that they had kept to the same size as the prev OS.

Yes, this was my only major annoyance with the new update.
On one hand, glad that there's still updates and XM is keeping to their commitments, but then there's issue like this...

Lol..... If you notice, there seems to be an invisible border all around the screen, making the widgets look smaller at the same time, while abit more spacious on the "standard" setting layout. Not that it would matter to me anyway.
The "fast charge" & the grouped items in settings had a minor aesthetic improvement, but won't matter much to me

Had feedback to them about the very small font sized upload/download speed when they just changed to HyperOS 1, but their reply to me was to join in their beta testing team......

Yup, the entire layout shrinked in size. SImilar to the latest models where they are all in such format.
In that case, I presume you didn't join and feedback further since this layout went live eh?

Nah....... feedback often falls on deaf ears. Sounds familiar?

Feel that they wanna make the layout look neater or less cramp with more spacing in between compared to the prev ver. If they retain the font size n decrease the spacing in between icons n borders, it will work fine with me too

Yeah, they wanna bring a "new & fresh" look.
Oh well, just need to take time to get used to it then.

For those using Poco or Xiaomi phones, are there any apps that you can use to have more than 2 instances of the same app in the same space?
Is there any way to do it?

Eg 3 Whatsapp instances in the 1st space. Not 2 instances in the first space via dual apps, then the other in 2nd space
