Damn I'm still having battery drains that are bad, lost about 20+% overnight again. Xiaomi better be quick with those updates lol

I did before what you mentioned and rebooted, my first overnight was like 0% drain.

But after a couple of days, the drain issue returned, my current overnight drain where 50% of it was due to 'other apps'

Which I have absolutely no idea which app, sigh... Can't see what is 'other apps'

Those that have green tint, maybe can try an app called 'OLED SAVER' and see. Gonna do a proper look tonight when it's pitch black.

Anyone looked at the Redmi K40 gaming edition? Practically same price as our Poco F3

There seems to be a new version of YouTube vanced but I can't update unless I turn off MiUi Optimisation?

So basically everytime I update YouTube vanced, I need to reset all the permissions again lol

My phone just randomly restarted while using it lol, first time

It seems a ROM was somehow able to 'fix' the green tint

Yeah Dolby Atmos used to appear in the video toolbox but not anymore. But Dolby Atmos is actually still working as long as you've turned it on in the settings.

Let's see whether bugs are squashed...

Shit I just had the random reboot like twice, switched off the ram extension and rebooted. Now seems okay, hopefully

How's everyone's Poco F3? Still going strong?

This is supposedly the last major update for the F3, here's hoping they still give another since F4 is almost identical

Xiaomi doesn't particularly support phones as long as Apple or Samsung does. If I recall correctly, the duration of support for phones that are budget oriented (i.e. Redmi and Poco) are 2 major OS updates and 3-4? years of security updates.

Poco F3 started with MIUI 12 on Android 11, then last year we had MIUI 13 on Android 12. Now the latest will be MIUI 14 on Android 13 which is the second major OS update. Fingers crossed for another year on Android 14.

The F3 does not have official IP ratings but it does have water resistant measures (rubber seals in SIM card and charging slot, wire mesh in speakers and microphones).

I'm guessing he does not have any screen protector installed but even then it's odd that wet tissues can damage the screen since it's more like moist than actually dripping wet.

Sounds like a hardware related problem. Do a factory reset and have the latest MiUi 13 updated. If done so and problem persists then it's more than likely hardware.

I'm assuming you have everything currently up to date and running on stock right?

Hopefully your new SIM card solves it, if not:

Try resetting mobile networks;
Settings > Connection & sharing > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and Bluetooth > SIM card

If problem still persist, you will have to do Factory Reset and then update to latest MiUi. Remember to perform back up.

However if the issue again remains it's likely hardware related, either with SIM slot or antenna band and you will have to bring to service centre for repairs.

Ohhh noiceee, never held an F4 before. I guess they needed more improvements to justify the next generation other than the camera and faster charging. Shame that Xiaomi physical stores no longer put the Pocophones on display anymore for comparison purposes.

Poco F5 should be here soon based on Redmi K60.

The part where you mention it doesn't switch on for an hour gives me a hunch that it's hardware related, software wouldn't cause such an issue where you can't even turn on the phone for an hour. Considering as well that you have been running on stock MiUi the whole time. Do a full backup of everything on the phone when you can.

As on why it's happening, if it's hardware failure then it's more of an isolated case. Poco F3 doesn't have issues like X3 Pro sudden deaths. Has your phone possibly been subjected to a lot of physical impacts?
