i find that Poco software is really limited, XiaoMi removed alot useful features from the mi brand for Poco

for the AOD, it is really only display for a few second? i cant seems to find any setting to change it to display permanently or even for a longer time
*
Which useful features are not available for poco?

Thanks for the clarification. I decided to use the stock China rom. There is a notification bug for all xioami phones and I also found a way to solve it. For those having problems, go to battery and select the autostart. Put those apps to allow autostart then problem solved.

I'm using note 9s on miui13. The auto-start will always default to off by itself again even when I don't reboot the phone.
Do you have this issue?

for notification bug i find most of the time the culprit is battery saver.. so just turn it off for the affected app..

https://beebom.com/how-fix-notification-iss...mi-poco-phones/

there's 3 approach to this:
1) enable auto-start
2) disable battery saver
3) lock the app

try 1 and 2 first. if still not solved only try 3
*
1&2 already tried. Reluctant to try 3 because there are a few such apps to consider, plus my phone only has 4Gb RAM and the phone is already slow enough.
So wondering if poco f5 will have the same issue though.

hmm personally i dont face this issue so i cant tell.. what apps giving you trouble?

for whatsapp i did have notification delay at first but that is fixed by turning off battery saver..

and the only app i need to lock is spotify because i find that when using with bluetooth in car, after returning to car i cant play songs on my car's media player and have to use the phone and open spotify first.. the issue was the app was already put to sleep thats why.. so after locking the app it solved for me and when i return to my car i can straight press play on the media player. no need touch my phone..

Whosecall and Garmin Connect (to connect to my Garmin watch) are two of them.

Is there any better for value phone for RM1.39k and below? I think it's hard to beat it. I contemplated Poco F4, Honor 70 but the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is too far ahead in performance. Also considered Pixel 6/6 Pro but worried about it's network issues.
*
Better value is very subjective. Take my case as example. I've used redmi note 4 and now 9s. Always have complaints about glitches now and then. Always told myself to get samseng for my next phone as my experience with Galaxy S2 was good.

Now that A54 is out, I'm still contemplating it vs poco f5 too due to the SoC, IR blaster, lighter weight and 3.5mm jack.

All phone also have glitches. I think the weakest part of poco F5 is the camera that is what initially made me consider Honor 70, but Honor 70 do not have OIS so I chose the F5. I can still edit the photo after taking it so overall works better for me.

I also have a weird error that I can't play Netflix properly, hopefully it is a software or rpm issue which can be fixed. I would consider Samsung only if it is the flagship series, even older flagship still better than A series.
*
Ive used Samsung, asus and xiaomi phones. The latter is the one with many glitches. Sometimes icons in the bottom bar in home page will disappear and re-appear after rebooting. Things like that.

Anyone knows whether RN12 pro 5G is shipped with Android 12 or 13? I understand it only has 2 Android upgrades.

Does anyone have issue with Poco F5 display showing only half screen (when tilted back to portrait) after watching video in full screen (landscape mode)?

Like this.

Guys, from time to time, I got logged out of the apps I seldom use. I realise this has to do with miui security. How do I disable this feature in my Poco F5, if possible?

Very leceh to realise I forgot the user ID and/or password when I need to use.

Anyone facing issue with their F5? Few days ago, I woke up to a dead phone (was playing with the phone before bedtime and then left it charging with a slow charger as per my normal routine).

Unable to boot up. Tried all combo (power + volume up, power + volume down, etc). Almost gave up and then it suddenly came back to life (to fastboot or something like that) when I pressed button down (or up?) + power button for a long time while watching youtube for a new phone to buy.

Is this a sign of mobo failure.

if still under warranty better send it to SC asap

No more warranty, bought in Jul last year. Ahbeng shop says if change mobo, will cost RM400 plus. Might as well buy a new phone, which no doubt is a headache as this F5 price:performance is really good (camera sucks though) and I won't buy another poco so F6 is out.

your F5 heavy or moderate usage?

If moderate/light usage then kinda sucks for a 1 year+ old phone to have mobo issue.

The only thing now is, not sure whether the phone shut itself is a one-off thing or early symptom of mobo issue.

But either way just make your back ups ready and hope that was a one-off.
*
Not heavy as I don't game.

My old redmi note 4 and note 9s are still working fine, so kind of surprised to experience this. "Bad things like the widely reported mobo failures in India-made pocos only happen to others"...lol.

Your f5 completely dead now?

Same thing happened to my x3 pro a few months ago. Used for 3 years already tho
*
Came back to life (fastboot) when I pressed and held the combo keys: volume up (or down, can't remember) + power, for a long time. Then I pressed the power button until it restarted.

Earlier attempts were not successful. Not sure whether due to not pressing and holding long enough.

You got straight to 2.0.200... if you also update app vault from Google play can see some new widgets like pet kuceng/anjing or speed test

I got 2.0.204 EU version... Sadly this model not worthy for new camera UX according to Xiaomi

Did you experience higher battery drain after upgrading?
