XQ APKs frequently disable WAKE_LOCK timeouts to prevent playback stutter. On Xiaomi devices, this interacts poorly with the miui_early_suspend timer, causing a "cascade failure" where the kernel attempts to sleep, the XQ APK refuses, and the CPU oscillates between C0 (active) and C3 (power collapse), wasting energy in the transition.

Removing thermal limits (a common "extra quality" feature) can cause your CPU to run at maximum speed without cooling. This leads to permanent battery swelling or motherboard failure.

In the context of Xiaomi APKs, "Extra Quality" often refers to modifications that bypass software limitations. Xiaomi devices are known for aggressive battery management (battery saver) that kills background apps to save power, often at the cost of performance and notification reliability.
Conversely, standard performance modes can ramp up CPU clocks unnecessarily, draining the battery while generating excess heat. The "Extra Quality" approach involves using specialized apps to find the sweet spot: maintaining high performance in games and demanding apps while retaining battery life during standby.
