Hi guys, wanna ask if buy poco f5/x5, should upgrade to latest os and firmware or not? will make phone lag even if uninstall all the bloatware? thx in advance

Hi guys, wanna ask for some opinions for Poco F5 phone back cover that is drop proof, or at least will able to protect most parts of the phone.
Already got tempered glass applied to phone.
Any recommendation and which seller is better to buy from? Prefer price below RM50.

Another thing wanna ask if anyone using Poco F5 or perhaps Xiaomi phones or may it could be the newer Android OS (12 or 13, I guess) about the facial unlock. Anyone experienced or encounter b4 that the phone is placed on the table and facing towards you/your face, like placed on a handphone stand, and then out of a sudden, the phone screen is already turn off (phone is turned on, just screen is off, black), next some Whatsapp messages come in and then the phone just unlocked by itself (which i suspect it is the facial recognition). Any advice?

I haven't really disable the facial recognition yet as I just got the phone today and experienced this.... never encountered this before on my previous old phone that can also use facial recognition to unlock phone BUT only when I manually double tap/power up the screen then only phone unlock.

Thx in advance.

ads pop up while clicking an icon to launch at app at home screen?
If this is the case, use google playstore to scan apps for any harmful apps
next is to check settings > manage apps > and then find any apps that are "launcher" type
my mom's phone experienced ads pop up during clicking app icon to launch any app, and after checking further, apparently it was poco launcher the culprit that is showing the pop up ads.

if there isn't any "launcher" type of apps on ur phone, then u might want to check and see any apps installed on ur phone that u find that they are installed but u don't remember installing them, then uninstall those, maybe those are some of the apps that contribute to ads.

another way is to find this app called "Google", if it is installed on ur phone, and launch the app.
Click the Icon for your Google Account. Select Manage your Google Account.
Select Data & privacy or Privacy and Security (depending which one you can find)
Scroll to "Things you've done and places you've been."
Select “Personalized ads.”
Turn off the switch next to "Personalized ads."

or just google around to see what other options are available that some posts/websites offer some solutions.
