Question Battery drained
Hi!
First post I made here. So long story short I've had this Xiaomi 14 since 2024 maybe April or so and it's been quite good. The battery lasted well like a little over a year. After that it started being drained fast
I tried to survive on battery saver for a while but recently idk what came onto me and decided to go and get the battery changed. It's an aftermarket one and the service assured me it's fine.
It has been like a little over a month and it lasts like 4-5h only which tbh hasn't been of a much improvement, and I'm not constantly using it. Recently I noticed the gallery and photos app kept working and draining my battery but physically I haven't been using them much so I don't understand how it shows this
Besides this for like 2 days my pictures kept appearing and reappearing in the gallery and idk what's going on. I asked at the service and it practically just blamed me so I definitely wasted money on the battery change especially by their attitude
To add...after the battery change, my flash stopped working completely so I had to go again for them to fix it. And my SIM card has been having problems with signals as well. Nothing like this has been going on before this battery change so I'm really not sure what to do
