Hello guys may I know how are your batteries holding up? I'm using the 8/256g model and I'm losing 1-2% averagely every 10-15 minutes with 5G off and screen 60Hz yesterday.

Today seems better. Charged to 100% at 10am and currently sits at 92% @ 1.44pm.
*
Mine seems to be better after second full charge. Maybe the battery need some jolt to be at optimum performance.

Try testing while holding the phone, doesn't work when it's laid flat on a surface.

I tried all possible way i can imagine, still doesn't work. And yes, I've reset the phone once.

When first got the phone the sensor already showing some instability during call but doesn't happen often but gradually failed.

I already called mi support, they asked to me to bring phone to service center, so I'm going to Lowyat tomorrow.

Will update here on the progress.

Dont hold the phone straightly. Try hold the phone 35 degree, 45 degree, 180 degree, etc and cover the sensor with your palm......the sensor works.
*
If u have to hold the phone a certain way for the sensor to work, then the sensor its not working the way its intended.

Hmmm I see, does your phone have the green tint issue as well?

No green tint issue. Like everybody else, I had battery drain issue but basically gone after few recharges.

do you know where is proximity sensor located? I think my IR distance sensor and ultrasonic distance sensor both not working.

edit: infrared distance sensor is actually working but not quite sensitive
*
It should be located at the top (behind the black bezel) part of your screen near the camera. On some phone u can see them clearly if u shine a light on it.

Yeah mine was like that, "not quite sensitive", until it gradually failed completely.

did u test the proximity sensor with the phone lying flat? somehow the proximity sensor only works when you hold the phone vertically
*
I've tried every possible way. Plus I've sent it to Mi service center already and they confirmed the sensor got problem. I thought of just to return/refund but I can't think of other fon that can replace the f3.

Apparently I'm the first person that sent this phone to the service center for repair lol

Once they done with the repair, they will call me to collect.

The person said maybe 2-3 days since the phone is a new model. Maybe need time for parts.

Anyway, got my phone back. Below are details:

1) Proximity sensor problem.
2) Supposedly proximity sensor will only do it's job when the phone is in upright position. It doesn't work for me hence confirm problem.
3) Tuesday 20/04 sent to Mi Service Center Lowyat. They confirmed sensor problem. Leave for repair.
4) Friday 23/04 collect. No charge as under warranty.
5) The technician told me they fixed it by restoring the software from the factory level, means they had to open the phone and access the motherboard directly. (not exactly sure how they mean).
6) Phone fixed. Happy. If rosak again, I swear to god I will ranting.gif

Is anyone using nillkin's camshield case? It's blocking my proximity sensor and I'm not sure whether it's hardware or software related problem. Everything is fine when I'm not using a case or a thinner profile case like the ori one or the fabric one by nillkin as well.
*
Now that you mentioned it, that might be the cause. But the thing is, the problem still occur even after i took out the case. Now im using back my ringke fusion case. Guess its time to throw the nillkin camshield case away bye.gif

I received my device from "Poco Certified Store". But I got no receipt from them. How to claim warranty?
*
If u send to authorised service center they can check ur phone warranty status by scanning a barcode from within the phone system menu. I saw this myself when I send my phone for repair. Not sure where though.

Since we bought the phone from official store maybe the phone serial number and purchase date already recorded in their database.

How do you check the Mi Cleaner version in poco f3 ??
*
Settings -> Apps - > Manage Apps then scroll or just search for cleaner. Ours was version 457, I updated it to 458.

I just noticed in APKMIRROR there are lots of other versions as well; 46x & 47x. Since our version is 45x I just picked the latest from that series.

Do you just install it directly on top of the previous version 457 ??
No need to uninstall the previous one ?

Just download and install. No need to uninstall the existing one.
