xiaomi already like this since their old era, i know it since mi 3

they never update android version, only miui version

my mi max 1, this phone launch in 2016 and xiaomi discontinue update on it on somewhere around 2019, so it's normal lor 2-3 years like that

xiaomi say they discontinue it based on user base count, small user base phone are very likely to get discontinue faster

my mi max 1 also lag and slow but luckily no bug

but i use it as spare phone for gps now, already upgraded to p30 pro during its launch

You seems to misunderstanding the whole things.
Miui are no different than ColorOs, emui or OxygenOs-its just a "fork" of the vanilla Android os, provided as stock operating system by the manufacturer.


Till date, all the provided next Gen MIUI come with next Android build.

As for mi max, it's the only mi series with least support cycle (even against mi2 decades ago. The userbase of MI max series was indeed smaller than any MI series exist till date.

Hi everyone,

Hope this is the correct thread to post.

My Redmi 5 plus been acting weird recently.

App button will not respond sometimes, need to press few times.

But the main issue now is yesterday, i notice my home screen (the first page of your screen) is flashing/refreshing in intervals of about 1 seconds+

All my app icon buttons has no response after i press it, and the home screen continue to refresh/flash

I try to press multiple times on Google Play store - manage to go in if lucky

I try to swipe my phone multiple times, as it show next page app icons, just first row, it stops, and go back home screen.

Bottom middle button (the system UI button - not the hardware button) and long press it, can go google search

Drop down pull down menu from above for setting etc- can function

Just the home screen now considered stucked
Any solutions?
Will update the system clear this issue?

I tried remove sim card & sd card, and reinsert...still same
I tried reboot or turn off, still same
I tried clear cache - still same

Thanks.

Battery swell from inside and cause screen to be unresponsive.

Yes. Aside swelling battery, kaput digitizer is the only possible culprit happen to your phone.

I have it change two times on my friends phone, also facing the same issues.

maybe you are not miui fan since the old miui 4

xiaomi never update the android version of the phone even when push out new miui

unless the phone is absolutely new and is flagship model, else you will rarely see android version is getting updated on the phone

Thanks for heads up!!
Yeah, been stop using xiaomi somewhere between mi5 and last year's redmi note 7.my first was mi3 too.


Upon inspection, different phone have different android fork indeed. What a weird practice.

Appreciate it.
