I also feel like i have bought a new phone after updating to android 10 (realme ui). Oppo/realme have done a good job by making color os less similar to ios in looks. Earlier versions of color os were bashed as a copy of ios and since then they have improved. Hope that realme ui does not bring ads like Miui.

don't get how who posted here is having so much issue after upgraded. When you read them, you would think this phone have many problem and doesn't worth to buy after upgraded. I Have updated it to Android 10, work just fine, heck even it's improving my phone view. It's as if I buy a new Phone!. Its one of the best phone I've decide to buy since 1 year ago. I have buy countless phone which either very over price, or just using it for 1 year and then they become useless because all of sudden the signal dissapeared. This Phone is the first phone when I think I finally buy with the right price. Hopefully I can hang on with this phone on another 2-3 years, until It's feels outdated.

Realme321GO, 10 Jun 2020Phone speed improved somewhat after clearing up 20gb on internal phone storage
Doing the re... moreImagine how many days you would have saved if you had listened to our first advise.
Surely, it wouldn't cost days to back up little bit of data.
You can try All in One Toolbox. Run Boost & enable "Auto Boost at Screen on" from its settings. Allow the app to run in background from Battery settings.
It's unlikely since Realme 3 is a powerful device, but if your issue is related to RAM/CPU, this will lower the burden. It fixed horrible lag on my friend's Samsung.

Doing the reset system settings only accomplished nothing
Must disable all 2FA tokens before full reset or else lose access to accounts online not good!!!

You can't flash anything other than you already have. Means you cannot flash C.9 over C.10(current firmware). You should try resetting.

Y... moreI will try to leave more empty on phone storage now , before trying to reinstall this fine . It might tell me that my current OS is already same or newer than the update , and hopefully your theory is right about it not deleting anything in the process ... !!!!!!!!
I doubt any patch would fix this massive number of issues ... even Dark Mode works in some apps but is completely ignored by others ... and indeed an exceptionally noticeable lag all throughout the phone during normal usage ( i am not a gamer ) ...

And please avoid 'rooting' as it will void warranty and banking apps will not work properly. It may also cause issues with realme updates. Realme phones do not have great support at XDA forums.
If you have a Redmi/Xiaomi then you can try rooting/custom roms etc.

~5GB in my case , on SD card
==
As another avenue to explore, I downloaded this file from REALME website :
RMX1821EX_11_OTA_1100_all_GQu4ppXhf2JQ
I put it on the SD card , then moved onto phone storage
Is it worth trying to boot into backup mode vol down + power , and trying to install that file? (It's same OS/version as I have now , but IF (big if) it lets me reinstall, and IF (big if) it lets me keep all my apps / settings , maybe the bugs will go away ? Do you know anything about this approach ?
==
There is new discussion on reddit about evidence of DNS hijacking from realme so they can snoop on all internet tracking over ... did we have a reason to expect from the begging that they were not actively doing this to us anyway?
==
If you manage to root the phone despite it having Realme UI on it (I am not sure a root method has been established yet for latest OS:
a: void warranty (minor concern at this stage , the phone is almost a year old)?
b: prevent receiving future updates from realme?
c: can completely backup absolutely everything including app settings logins etc. etc. using Titanium app or equivalent?
==
Once again, thank you mr/ms anonymous !! long may you live !!

Normally when you update from one android version to another these issues happen(but not to every one). You can wait for further updates as an update C.11 is on the way. See then whether issue remains.

Realme321GO, 04 Jun 2020So if I understand correctly
1) Backup static files (.doc / .pdf. / .mp3 / etc. / .APK to re... moreHi, for your questions
1) yes those backed up apps will be installed when you restore realme back up
2) good
3) correct , Realme backs up almost all apps
4) yes
Question:
1) I am not familiar with 2FA tokens. I mainly use google pay and other banking apps for transactions.I also do not use Google Authenticator. However you can create a backup of all those tokens and other files related to these apps. It would be better if you sign in again after reset. You may have to sign in again with Google Authenticator.
2) Most of the apps (example Whatsapp) use internal memory
3) no
4) You can try
a) reset system settings only (basic reset so try it first )
b)erase downloaded apps and their data (more comprehensive)
or
c)erase all data(actual factory reset)
Try in the order . I mainly do 'factory reset' as i do not have many apps.

Anonymous, 03 Jun 2020Are you on version C.10?I loved the phone before new update after the update and getting the latest android 10 version every other feature is good but the only issue is the fast battery draining when I keep my mobile at night and then when I wake up 30-40% of the battery is gone which wasn't like this before the new update, only 1 -2% was consumed at standby mode in nights.
Please help me resolving this issue.

So if I understand correctly
1) Backup static files (.doc / .pdf. / .mp3 / etc. / .APK to reinstall side-load style after reset )
2) use Google Backup (I already do always)
3) use Realme back up and restore (some Applications but NO app data), Personal Data (Contacts, Messages and more) and System Data (System Settings, Clock and more).)
4) Do some sort of reset
Question:
1) How do I restore my Authenticator and Authy apps with all the 2FA tokens they generate for finance apps, after they are reinstalled? These are needed to log back into my personal finance apps , and others ... I have about 6-10 different apps that use 2FA using these apps
2) How do I check which apps are using external storage as the default place to store their files/datbases ? Like WhatsApp , etc. Is there a default setting somewhere ? I can't find it
3) Is there any other step I can take to back up even more things before doing a factory reset and restore ?
4) Is there any advantage at all to doing the more supecificial resets , rather than a full comprehensive reset ?
thanks again

Khan, 04 Jun 2020Yes ... personally i love this phone and brand too.. almost 10 days ago i bought realme C3 but... moreIt is true that some users are facing issues. May be you could restart the device a few times or clear the junk files. Also check battery settings if any particular app is causing battery drain. Also clear the cache. Also check ram usage.

Realme321GO, 03 Jun 2020Thanks ! I am in Mexico so unfortunately any sort of in-person support is basically impossible... moreimportant- please copy all necessary files(like .pdf, documents etc) from internal memory to SD card before factory reset.
So first you must create a new backup and see its size. Remember your messages , call history, contacts and other system setting will be saved.
As an additional step you can also use backup option in 'google' in settings menu.
