I somehow see that there is some issue with the Xiaomi Power bank.
Whenever I charge my phones with it . The power gets drained out very fast compared to charging it via power socket.

ive seen this same issue with certain phones and tablets
My Z10 and Lenovo tablet have issues if charged from anything other than the original wall charger

My 720,820,Nexus 5 and 7,iPads have no issues whatsover

its very weird,guess it must be the charging cable as certain sites suggest
They say the issue doesnt happen if you use the original cable which came in the phones box

My Redmi 1S wasn't getting detected in my pc no matter how much I tried. Installing adb drivers, installing USB drivers. But still it showed USB device not recognized. Then I decided to use a different cable. This time a Micromax cable from the charger I use (which is btw much better than the xiaomi stock charger) and lo and behold it worked. Strange issue. The xiaomi cable works fine for charging though. Now I am wondering if slow charging in xiaomi charger was due to adapter or the cable itself. Will have to test it

And I thought this Xiaomi Power bank was very popular because it was a good product. I saw everywhere people suggesting to buy this.
If our purpose is to have phone charged for say an hour or so then I think it serves the purpose even if it's charged to 100%.

this wire problem happens with many things (it due to quality of wires AFAIK). I used a local USB cable and my phone's battery was being depleted rather than being charged, its the same reason why you cant HDDs using some USB cables

It is true. though they are cheap and affordable but on the other side we do not see the after effects of using these.

I've flashed this on dad's redmi 1s:

To fix overheating, underclock the CPU to 1.2-1.3 GHz using No Frillz CPU control.

For using Resurrection Remix ROM you have to stick around for a long time. They update is regularly but it is rarely bug free.

I think there are plenty of options for redmi now
Check its subsection on XDA
With custom kernels people are getting 5 hours + sot and so on
From what I have read the "xcelerate". Kernel seems to be the one that gives good efficiency,
Wanted to test it myself, but sis has become a big fan of miui and its themes... Women!
