Zen, 15 Jul 2020So there is no way to fix it? None. Widevine provide encryption for playback. Your TV might not be up for that.

Hi all,
Considering getting either Redmi Note 8 Pro or Mi Note 10 Lite. I am leaning towards Note 8 Pro because it is much cheaper and as a light user, find it hard to justify paying extra for the Note 10 Lite. My only concern is with the reported heat issue on this phone. I don't game much and will use the phone mainly for watching videos, will the phone get too hot for comfort? Need some answers. Thanks.

I tried to charge my RN8PRO with OnePlus 6T's charger. But MI Original charger seem to charge the phone much faster as it supports fast charging, which OnePlus didn't. Compatibility issue thats it.

This is how i fixed my RN8PRO battery draining issues, and it worked for me. I had battery issues after upgrading to Android 10, my SoT got as low as 7hrs but after following certain YouTube videos & XDA website im now getting 11hrs of SoT as it was before. Hope this works for you too. Here's what i did:
I cannot share direct link of XDA as it may not be in policy of GSMArena, I think. Don't get flowed by negative comments for this procedure & just do it.
Main Thing :
I used ''XiaomiADBFastbootTools''(ADB Uninstaller) to uninstall the following default bloatware installed on my phone. Such as..

Android Accessibility suite
app vault
browser
calander
catchlog
compass
digital wellbeing

Uninstall all these without any second thought. My phone is working much better after uninstalling all these pre installed apps. After doing this, i saw sudden increase in my battery efficiency be it battery backup or SoT.
During testing i got two days of battery backup & around 10hrs of SoT from 90% charge to 5% charge. And now from 100% charge to currently I'm at 60% with SoT of exactly 6hrs 42min.
OMG i wish i would have shared Screenshots here.
Secondary things i did was:
- Enabled Dark Mode
- Disabled Auto Start option for all apps
- In battery settings, i enabled 'clear cache when device is locked - upto 5 minutes'
- Using Nova Launcher (Prime) - APK Downloaded
- Force stopped apps which i don't use frequently such as Facebook.
- Using Firefox as my default browser.
- Restricted background app activity.
Hope this helps :)

Not for gaming or heavy use but for regular browsing, watching movie and expecting Good Loud speakers. Which one should I buy?
Samsung M21 (6 GB, 128GB) = INR 15999 (Readily available with exchange of my old phone)
or
Redmi Note 8 Pro (6 GB, 128GB) = INR 16999 (Readily available with exchange of my old phone)
or
Redmi Note 9 Pro (6 GB, 128GB) = INR 16999 (Have to wait for the next sale on 21-July-2020)

OptimusPrime, 15 Jul 2020Which one is better? Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro or Huawei P30?If it's normal P30 and not lite etc then yeah, if they are for same price more or less / if you don't care about the extra money go for the P30 but if you want to save money, go for RN8P.

DroidBoye, 14 Jul 2020That's what Widevine is for. Just use the Netflix app in your Smart TV.So there is no way to fix it?

OptimusPrime, 15 Jul 2020Which one is better? Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro or Huawei P30?Flagship (P30) vs Midranger (RN8P).
Spec wise: P30. If you can grab it for lower price than starting then take it.
Still in my opionion RN8P is best phone for its price - which is much lower than P30.
