[Q] Problems with new Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (MIUI8) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Recently when I was in Singapore my LG G3 got soaked during a rainstorm and is now dead. I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 in a shop there and I have had problems ever since.
The phone, despite it's excellent specifications is extremely slow, crashes, restarts and push notifications aren't working. Even when somebody calls me, the calls often do not show up and my phone does not ring. This makes the phone practically useless.
The phone specifications are:
Model number - Redmi Note 4
Android version - 6.0 MRA58K
MIUI version - MIUI Global 8.0 | Stable 8.0.5.0.0(MBFCNDG)
Kernel version - 3.18.22+
Build number - MRA58K
I have tried to fix those problems by changing all of the settings on the phone to no avail and it seems that the stock software is completely screwed.
I figured I should backup all of my data to my laptop/PC (tried both - same problems) but despite being connected through a USB on MTP mode the phone is visible to the PC, however once you click into the internal storage folder it freezes and becomes unresponsive - this is the case on both my laptop and my PC and therefore I cannot even back up my files.
Anyway, I have applied to unlock my Mi device on the website and I am awaiting the confirmation right now.
I have tried unlocking the phone and rooting, however none of my attempts have worked (e.g. Kingroot at 1%), even connecting the phone to the PC is a struggle.
Could somebody please give me some advice?
Many thanks,
Mac

Redmi Note 3Pro (Error - "Unable to connect to camera")

Hello
I have a problem with my RN3 SE (yes I'm sure it's SE, model "2015161" and 152mm). It all started when I uploaded the Mi-mipip rom to my phone. Initially, I uploaded Kenzo (I was convinced that I have this model) but there were symptoms that were typically associated with inappropriate rom. Initially, I did not have IMEI (no range, wi-fi etc) and constantly popping "camera error" - "can not be connected to the camera", when I was able to recover the imei, Wi-Fi returned, but unfortunately there was still a problem with the lack of range and the camera did not work . Reading many threads, it occurred to me that I uploaded a bad rom. I decided to install the appropriate rom Kate (edl mode by miflash) unfortunately when the phone turned on, only the MI logos and the loading (leaping) dots of the android were displayed (I waited over 2-3 hours and to no avail). Out of curiosity, I uploaded rom from kezno in the same way and the phone immediately woke up to life but still without range and the camera was not working. I solved the problem with the range by replacing the modem with Kate, but I still have a problem with the camera. Trying to repair the mistake I tried to upload rom miuipolska under Kate via TWRP, however, the installation stopped at 99% and did not move for over an hour so that the phone could come alive and I had to flash it again with the Kenzo room with the switched range modem. Do you have any ideas how I could deal with it?

Oppo Find X problems

I own an OPPO find X PAFM00 and I love the phone, it is super fast, the battery is reasonable gives for
normal day use, the screen was the biggest factor of the purchase of this mobile phone, but my version
has some problems that it seems that does not happen with the users of this site.
Apart from the "normal" problem of the applications closing completely and not receiving notifications,
due to the battery management of this phone and after all possible and imaginable attempts described
in this site as workaround, were unsuccessful and this version of me has some problems that I think
they do not happen to other users, at least to my knowledge.
I'm going to list all my problems found so far:
• Rom version: PAFM00_11_D.01 _ *** (Image 1 and 2 in appendix) This version has no information
about it, neither on the mobile phone itself nor on Google;
• This rom never received updates, nor with VPN's of Taiwan for example;
• Inability to install apk "In_depth_test" (Image 3 attached);
• Impossibility to Update ColorOS version 5.2.1 (Image 4 attached);
• Recovery mode does not work: Vol - and Power button.
• Phone name in OPPO ID as "OPPO Reno 10 ***"; (Picture 5 attached).
I would like to know if anyone has any of these issues mentioned here and if it is possible to upgrade to
a more upgraded version such as the ROM 300 A.30.
Hi since downloading latest update my phone does not open attachments from email. It just comes up with a stupid cartoon cat that says oops..try again. Please any ideas?

I'm stuck in Android 9 with my Redmi Note 4

Sorry for my english, but I need help. I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 since May 2018 and since then i had the pixel experience mod on (the one with android oreo 8.1). Everything went good until yesterday my phone resets randomly and goes in bootloop with the google logo. So, i made a backup of my things and i did a factory reset with twrp, but apparently, wifi connection, bluetooth, sim card, volume and fingerprint scanner stopped working. I restored my backup but nothing changed, i even flashed a new mod, the newer pixel experience, the one with android 9, but i just messed up everything and now twrp doesn't work anymore as if i try to open it, it gives me the error "the device has been destroyed" or something like that. Even worse, my PCs won't read my phone anymore.
Summary: I'm stuck with Android 9 in the "welcome-fase" (?) because to begin use it i must connect to internet, and i can't do it in any way.
Sorry for my english. I hope someone could help me. Thanks.

Poco F1 MIUI 12 find device stopped unexpectedly boot loop

Just few days after installing miui 12, got this problem. The phone is stuck on a boot loop. If I pattern unlock the phone, I get a toast saying "find device stopped unexpectedly". Unfortunately, I don't have a backup. :crying:
Is there any way to save my phone? or may be get a backup?
I too experienced the same bug, i went to the official service centre to fix the issue. They reflashed the os but the same issue kept arising again and again after a day or two, the service center guys had no clue what's going on. At last I decided to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom. Now am using RR without any issue.

yeah, I am also in the same track but I am unable to make MiFlash Unlock tool to recognize my phone in fastboot mode. Adb does recognize, Mi PC Suite recognizes it but says phone software has to be updated. (Using latest MIUI 12).
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Use an Intel pc. Amd has issues with mi flash unlock too l. Run as admin. Turn off all anti virus/ firewall applications.
Having the exact same issue on my POCO F1, recently updated to MIUI 12. It was working pretty well up until 10 mins ago.
Battery went under 5% and the device went into ultra power saving mode, then restarted. Now every time I unlock the pattern, the toast pops up "Find my device..." and it goes into bootloop.
Now there isn't even a pop up, device immediately goes into bootloop.
bro, i just now facing this.. can you help me out
Well, MIUI 12 is not going good in poco F1.
If anyone who has not updated to MIUI 12, don't update the phone. Currently there are many bugs in the update
Long story short -
Some are unable to boot up the phone, some stuck in bootloop, some unable to use their passwords, some unable to set up new password, Second space not working, etc etc ...
I also updated to MIUI 12 and was unaware of the bugs.
But the device booted up and password (both fingerprint and face unlock) was working fine but I was unable to change it. Second space was working too. So I was happy that there is not much issue.
But then come the buggy part.
I started playing COD m after update and battery drained like hell 100 to 30 in 1.5 hour. I was shocked by this.
After charging I started to play again but this time (with battery issue) screen freezing happened and then happened at regular intervals. So the gaming experience on MIUI 12 was ruined.
Then I just find MIUI 9 for it and flashed it. (Ya, factory reset in this process too ?) But it is working fine now. Got fast charging module and custom thermal for gaming and it worked.
Currently no issue at all.
But I am still finding a custom kernel for poco F1 to overclock cpu and GPU (not able to find any till now).
Nearly every kernel is ment for MIUI 11 and 10 only. So I am digging deep for now to find a kernel for MIUI 9.
At last just one message - Don't update untill mi release a stable and bug free MIUI 12 version.
If MIUI 12 is working fine on your poco F1, either you are lucky or you have not encountered a bug till yet.
Without data loss, is this method come back to normal as before for poco f1 mobile?

If you don't want to loose your data, try flashing the rom using mi flash tool. But nothing can guarantee data security. You should back up your data regularly, waiting for a mishap or trusting on a single electronic device is just foolish, do make multiple copies of important data, if you want it to be secure.
I also have this problem. Updated my POCO F1 to miui 12 and it is in bootloop all the time. The bootloader is locked but I cannot unlock it now with no access to the device. How can I flash again a lower version?
If I don't mind losing the data how can I go back to previous version?
No brother, I encountered the same issues you mentioned. I stuck with MIUI logo loop after that I did a hard reset to mobile phone working condition.

Problems after updating android 11

Recently I updated my Realme 7 pro to android 11(through official ota). After update my phone booted and it couldn't go beyond lock screen. Lock screen blinks for a millisecond and and again this process is repeating, no key is working.
Even after reboot and deleting app data through recovery seems to be helpful.
Then I formatted my my phone, all my data lost, but finally phone started. I have to reinstall all apps and all the stuff,
Then I debloated my phone using adb,
After that I restarted my phone again same problem arrives, again I had to format my phone and again reinstall all the stuff.
If anybody found the solution please share this.
My observation with android 11
1. Seems like battery life is poor as compared to android 10.
2. Mx player keeps crashing again & again after starting.
3. No visible improvement in camera quality.
4. Still unwanted bloatware from realme and can't do anything with that.
5. App opening speed and scrolling is smooth as compared to android 10.
As now I don't find any useful thing in android 11,
So it is advised that please wait for more stable update.
That sounds not good! I am still waiting for the update. But now I am not sure if it is a good idea .....
Do you have the Global or EU version? Where do you live? I'm from Europe either the Global Version. I try to get the OTA update with a Indian VPN server.

Same thing happened to me! I had to reset and lost valuable data
Now I can't debloat, because the same thing happens - lock screen keeps blinking, no way to do anything.
If someone has a safe to uninstall list on Android 11, please share
I have updated my Realme 7 Pro (Europe) just a few days ago. Reading all this complains made me sceptical installing the new update but believe me guys that i am glad and very happy with this new android 11 update. No issues on booting, no heating problems, very smooth UI, great battery life ( 8-10 hours of SOT, with 20-25 % screen light). I read on telegram that booting issues appear on Realme 7 Pro when users debloat the initial apps via ADB (weather app) and then make the android 11 update.
