Even of you root it, there's no fix. I had a Redmi 11 Prime 5G for 3 years. Rooted it, used all kinds of trickery, lsposed mods, root based process managers/app managers, disabled the battery and security app. Nothing fixed it.

Is the Redmi 11 Prime 5G worth buying at ₹16,990?
At ₹16,990 the Redmi 11 Prime 5G is one to skip, scoring 2.9 out of 5 against other phones at this price. It is strongest on camera and weakest on value for money. We have seen it as low as ₹12,999.
The ZuPick verdict
2.9out of 5
SkipBest at camera, weakest at value.
The phone covers everyday needs with a sharp display, long endurance and 5G, but slow charging, modest memory and limited camera versatility make it difficult to justify at this price.
Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.Performance3.1
It reaches about 386,000 on AnTuTu, which is adequate for everyday apps and casual gaming. UFS 2.2 storage and 5G help, but 4 GB of memory can restrict multitasking and demanding games.Camera3.2
The 50 MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture and autofocus can produce clean daylight photos. The 8 MP front camera and 1080p30 recording offer only basic results.Display3.0
The 90 Hz screen feels reasonably smooth, and its 1080x2408 resolution is sharp for reading and video. The LCD panel has less vivid colour and contrast than AMOLED rivals.Battery2.6
The 5000 mAh battery delivers excellent tested endurance of around 20 hours. However, modest 18W charging substantially reduces its appeal.Value2.0
At ₹16,999, the 4 GB/64 GB configuration offers too little memory and storage for the money. Strong endurance and useful connectivity do not fully offset that disadvantage.Price history

Pros & cons
What’s good
Sharp, smooth screen
The 1080x2408 display keeps text and videos crisp, while the 90 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling feel smoother than a basic 60 Hz screen.
Excellent tested endurance
The 5000 mAh battery lasts around 20 hours in testing, making it dependable for long days of calls, browsing and video.
Useful everyday connectivity
5G, NFC, an IR blaster and a 3.5 mm headphone jack make the phone flexible for payments, accessories and daily communication.
Fast internal storage
UFS 2.2 storage helps apps install and open quickly. A dedicated memory-card slot also makes adding space straightforward.
What’s not
Weak value at ₹16,999
The 4 GB/64 GB configuration feels cramped for this price, particularly for buyers who keep many apps, games and offline videos.
Slow 18W charging
Although endurance is strong, the 18W charging takes around 1 hour 36 minutes to go from 20% to full.
Basic camera flexibility
The secondary camera adds little versatility, while 8 MP selfies and 1080p30 video are modest for the price.
What owners say
From Redditr/miuiu/GrayGalahadReturns
HyperOS is buggy as per many user comments on YouTube videos I have seen, especially the constant battery drain even when not used. This is the reason why I never upgraded to HyperOS.
