QUOTE(squall_12 @ Apr 12 2022, 05:32 PM) hi all, how to activate games boost menu during in game menu. Thanks if you mean activate the Game Booster, you need to look for it under SETTINGS and make sure the option is ENABLED (can't remember the exact words -- but to enable this feature in game). after that, you should be able to swipe from the sides to open up the GAME BOOSTER menu. here, you can use the voice changer... or set to performance or normal mode.

QUOTE(prosibu @ Apr 13 2022, 05:33 PM) Update to 13... After update no volte no data Rebooted got data After few minutes wanna make call, drop to 2g Airplane mode 1 time problem solved... Hmmm seen 1 guy shared in F3 group on FB... call keeps dropping after 5-10mins. sent to SC and somehow, SC indicated cannot fix and gave him refund. not sure if that's an indication of known issue. i hope not.

QUOTE(Rudd @ Apr 15 2022, 12:35 PM) So easy gave refund, good. Can use money to buy next gen. makes me worried though. if so easy, does it mean that there's a known problem? similar to what happened with Mi 10T Pro's sudden death. they just replace with new model, or gave refund.

QUOTE(supadupa @ Apr 18 2022, 02:35 AM) Got it from Lazada RM1,099 Too bad I was too slow... missed out the white color hmm... i think most or all of us bought from Poco Official Store. sometimes the 1099 is at Shopee, sometimes at Lazada. have to monitor both...

some Qs...
anyone else noticed like battery from 99% to 100% actually takes longer? like if average of 40 seconds to increase by 1%, from 99 to 100%, it can sometimes take like 1+minute.
also, does the charger occasionally not charge properly, even after connected and you hear the charging sound effect? had that a few times where i connected original box charger to phone, hear the sound... leave it and come back 30mins later... only to find out somehow it wasn't charging properly... then unplug and plug cable... try again... it charges faster.
weird.

QUOTE(KopiChia @ Sep 12 2022, 11:16 PM) Anyone getting ads returning after latest update? I remember using xda software to remove most bloatware and others I use example Open MIUI Themes and tap the Profile icon in the bottom right. Step 2: Select Settings and toggle off Show Ads and Personalized Recommendations. MIUI also allows you to opt out of targeted advertisements. I just tried open Themes it's showing lazada ads when I go to its setting show ads is turn off. I just updated today. May I ask if yours ads returning (if you bothered turning it off). I just noticed ads in themes & cleaner both should have it turn off in their settings. I confirm it's turn off in my themes setting. slow to reply. so far, so good. din notice... anyway, did a post here before on removing "ads": https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...#entry103229704

QUOTE(White2000 @ Nov 20 2022, 08:08 PM) RIP screen, used Dettol wet tissue to "disinfect phone" after lending it to a coughing coworker. Multiple green vertical lines on screen. Lesson learnt, luckily still can use and no ghost touch. wow... didn't realise these things can be deadly to phone screen. but yeah, usually i have TG SP, so wipe with soap, etc... never really touch the actual screen... so never realised this. thanks for sharing

just noticed my F3 battery bloated -- the back casing almost popping out. called Service Center and i think so far in Klang Valley, all no stock.
cost will be about rm140+... based on Xiaomi website, rm40+ for battery, rm60+ for labour and another rm30+ for accessories (i think for glue seal, etc)
not cheap. is there any Service Day for Xiaomi? I know Honor and Huawei used to have...

QUOTE(jackk_91 @ Apr 1 2023, 06:31 AM) Does updating to MIUI 14 wipe off all the data in the phone? (assuming the update process is smooth without problem) nope. usually won't. mine upgraded without issue. but usually, major updates like this, i do prefer to reset and reinstall.

QUOTE(SwarmTroll @ Apr 2 2023, 03:16 PM) Damn, how old is your phone and what is the battery health percentage? I thought they don't charge for accessories, just battery and labour, ~RM110. Unless you confirmed in call? i got this unit end of 2021 while waiting for my Mi 10T Pro to be fixed (they later gave me a new Mi 11T Pro). so, that's less than 1.5years old. only noticed it recently, but i think it bloated like a few months back (had let family member use it instead since i got the replacement mi 11t pro) coz already felt something not right but didn't check back then. anyway, confirmed it's rm140+ coz spoke to the person on the phone and was asking them to help check if got stock (thats's also why i know Klang Valley no stock at the moment). i guess logical since need to open back case and then seal it back. but dem... rm30+ for accessories feels a lot. would have expected them to bundle it with the rm60 labour...

QUOTE(SwarmTroll @ Apr 3 2023, 04:38 PM) Wah means about a year+ of use then bloated. Heavy usage? Physical damage from drops? Wtf is accessories? The glue? Lmao RM30 for just glue they better give me the whole damn can. I would have thought labour is all there is, please don't tell me accessories is their tools lmao. no idea. but yeah, i was surprised as well by the charge. but well, no choice... anyway, still waiting for battery to restock. a bit of gaming on weekends. genshin impact and roblox. dun recall any drop... so, a bit sad to see the battery bloated...

QUOTE(PRSXFENG @ Apr 4 2023, 02:10 PM) Maybe fast charging at such high wattages degrades the battery quickly Am worried about those crazier models with like 120W fast charging i dun think these are the cause. probably just unlucky. i know some phone brands have bloated battery problems more than other brands. some, used for like 3 years and no issues. some... almost 1.5 year 1 new battery... :S

QUOTE(SwarmTroll @ Dec 18 2024, 03:05 PM) For me usually if I change battery, I just change the ribbon connectors and the port together at the same time since they don't cost much iirc. Does it cost a lot based on their quote? ok. what u said makes sense. originally they quoted me only battery. then when i told them current one bloated, they suggested replacing the FPC as well. i asked for the price of FPC and they quoted another rm10 for it. just take la... no point later replace battery and then another issue come up.

QUOTE(blackankh @ Jan 4 2025, 03:16 PM) My poco f3 phone hang and now can't on anymore. Anyone has such issues before? Anyone been to 1 utama xiaomi service center before? They told me that inspection fee is RM30 to check the problem. not surprised if there is such a charge. but usually if you proceed with repairs, it can be negotiated.

QUOTE(blackankh @ Jan 10 2025, 09:00 PM) I repaired at Smart Phone repair outlet at damansara uptown for rm280 with 6 months warranty. Apparently, my mobo has issue and the technician there said Poco has many such issues. did you find out how much it would have cost at official service center? QUOTE(M2020 @ Jan 11 2025, 10:49 PM) How much cost to replace the battery? After battery replaced as good as new? Thanks. rm123 for the battery and ribbon cable. the cable is actually abt rm10.
