Antutu Benchmark hitting 696k score with my 6GB Ram Poco F3 on Android 13, Noice...

Camera unfortunately is the F3's weakest link. Gcam slightly elevates it but low light is affected with the lack of OIS. The IMX582 sensor isn't particularly good at lowlight either.

Any MiUi 14 users here feel like launching settings has a delay. Not sure if it's just me.

Should have both VoWIFI and VoLTE. Since MIUI 14, my Poco F3 has VoWIFI with Hotlink.

I've done and tested, it's a working VoWiFi on my F3 with Hotlink Postpaid.

Go Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks > Select SIM card > Scroll to bottom where there is WiFi calls settings. By right if you have VoLTE working, there should be VoWiFi working too.

If above doesn't work, call Hotlink and say you have an S22 Ultra (If you say you have an F3, they will say it won't work) and would like to activate VoWiFi on your device. This is just to ensure they did activate it on their Hotlink end.

Then, go to your dialpad and dial *#*# 869434 #*#*
It will then say VoWiFi carrier check was disabled, which you can now follow the settings steps I mentioned in the beginning. The VoWiFi settings should now appear.

You are using dual SIM? By default do you have VoLTE working for both?

Did you already try dialing the code in the dialpad?

Perhaps wait for Unifi to activate it and see if it works. You should be on latest MIUI 14 as well.

Wahh bro still stuck on MIUI 13? Must be bug already by now, just region change to Singapore, update, then change back to MY.

Nothing in particular, it's stable. But the only difference for me was VoWIFI was activated for my F3 under Hotlink. Everything else feels the same with negligible difference. We have not yet got the fancy features that MIUI 14 has for China.

MIUI 14.0.8.0 September security update is now available.

Poco F3's final update should be here real soon within this quarter. We'll get HyperOS but remain on older Android 13. The end is nigh.

Oh? You tried HyperOS on other Xiaomi devices already?

My F3 is still going strong, ordered March 2021 and got it April 2021 so it's like the first batch. Do you drop it often or run any intensive programmes frequently (e.g. gaming)?

In the Reddit thread, there has been a lot of issues where Poco X3 Pros were dying a lot after 2-3 years. Poco F3 is far and few between but it does happen. However when those phones failed, they reported it was mostly because the CPU became loose and had to be 'reballed' back in to the motherboard. Your case could be the same but if it is really the motherboard, time to get a new phone, not worth the replacement cost.

Your usage seems pretty light, probably bad luck I suppose.

The final official update for Poco F3 is upon us, now it has truly reached the end of life. 3 years, that was quick.

If you want it now, go settings and switch region to Singapore, the update should be available.

I certainly did notice some UI changes, mostly aesthetics so far. Not too sure if it's really much faster or smoother than before, SD870 always did keep it's pace. If this is truly the last update, a bit peeved that it is not the April security update, but the February security update that is already two months old.

Try again later, I had to wait awhile and try few times before it was available to me after selecting Singapore region.

oh lmao I thought it was just me, suddenly the gestures all couldn't work after HyperOS update. I just switch to on screen navigation since haven't use in a long time haha
If no update fix after this then sadge, not a small bug I would say.

Huh why is F4 abandoned? No software updates?
