Hi there, there might be some issues with Pocophone in general and your device in particular but all this hate is absolutely uncalled for. If you are not happy with it - return it or sell it. It is just a $300 phone, what did you expect?

This device is made for gaming, but you can't play games and when you complain against it, "it's just a $300 phone, what do you expect?" dude, why it has a SD845 if touch issue is a norm? why didn't they put SD430 in it? a lot of people have this issue.
As the last user replies, there's no reason to hate it for being a little worse than 500$ devices. For the money you're spending its definitely the best device you could buy right now.
1. Sound issues - Software fix will work.
2. DRM issues - Another software fix.
3. Multi touch issue - Check the thread someone posted a solution, though most of us never faced it.
4. Lag/Frame drop issues - Never faced in the games I've played but 845 is more than capable of not having frame drops, so its just software optimization again.
5. Battery and Heating - I never saw 50 C on my poco and my other devices remain there even after moderate use so its better. (Ambient temperature is high in my area) and the battery lasts forever. My standby usage on 4g mobile data was 0.3% yesterday (3.5 hr in 1% drop) and SOT is consistently using just 10-15% per hour which roughly translates to 7-8 hour of SOT and at least 6 hours for a heavy user, tell me one 845 device capable of this?
And Jai Mani from poco does see our tweets and repiles too, they're working on DRM fix currently, notifications on notch area are also being looked into and they resolved the bootloader unlock issue so fast, I'm hoping they'll fix the other minor things too.

I don't know what world you live in, but for solving DRM issues, OTA won't work in this one
Multitouch issue is a major issue and the device is useless unless this issue is solved. A lot of users are facing this issue and I am not alone apart from PUBG keyboard is very slow and lags, touch has a delay, inaccuracy in selecting texts. With these kinds of problem SD845 is useless because input devices are limiting the hardware capability.
If you have ever taken Computer Science 101, a input device should be as responsive and accurate as possible else using a fast processor on a slow input device is as stupid as it gets.
regarding the reply, I have made multiple queries on the forum and filed 2 bug reports, and even quoted few admins and mods, they aren't even replying.
And if they still think that it's normal then they should take this device and refund me my money, which they are not doing. I had to convince them for about the issue for at least 2 hours and best they did was replacing the device but I don't want this **** and will never buy phones from Xiaomi ever again unless the devices are thoroughly tested and bugs are fixed.

Please verify your information about DRM, oneplus 5 and 5T had the same issue of netflix hd and they resolved it via update(Yeah the update had to be done at service center only). I've taken every computer science involved in engineering (a CS engineer myself) and I understand your concern but somebody did post a fix for that. I've faced the touch issue in my other phone while charging which was due to a buggy kernel so its definitely debatable that it could be a software issue.
I had a speaker distortion issue, my replacement was arranged instantly over phone (Flipkart).
source: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t-netflix-amazon-prime-video-hd/
1. Sound issues - We will solve it soon
I've no idea what's that. Can you explain?
2. DRM issues - Just don't watch netflix or prime in HD because we have loads of money to have HD plan but can't watch it.
The phone doesn't support V1 out of the box, most of the Xiaomi phones doesn't support. Heck even the One Plus 5/5t also doesn't support. You get what you pay. To make it clear, I don't believe it can be fixed by a software since it requires secured machine to update the phone which only OEM's use. Only way Xiaomi can fix it by asking customers to visit Service center and updating the V1 from their machine. Otherwise, just forget about it.
3. Multi touch issue - what do you expect from a $300 phone?
No such issues here.
4. Lag/Frame drop issues - What do you expect from a budget phone
No frame drops, lag issues. Source? I play PUBG 4-5hrs per day and never faced that issue. PS: It's not a budget phone.
5. Battery and Heating - Every phone has it, what is the problem?
So what if the phone gets heated, it'll heat when you do intensive tasks, I guess you've never used a flagship phone in your life? All top high end CPU's like SD835/845 etc generate heat. Xiaomi did great job in keeping it cool, my phone never crossed 50+ during games.
May be you should stick to Samsung J7 phones. That's what you're meant to use.
Use what you like and stop cribbing about it. You don't like Poco F1, use iPhone X or any other high end Android phone. You pay $300 and you want a phone to behave like $1000? No phone is perfect including the iPhone X/Samsung Note 9.
I've been using Poco F1 from last 1 week and so far I'm in love with this phone.
Wow... so much hate, and most of us had no issues with phone what so ever. What gives you the right to be hater and try to generalize some problems that 95% people never experience?
shailendra1993 said:
Is poco F1 nothing but a brick?
It has top specs like SD845 and UFS 2.1 and all but we have a few issue and what other people are suggesting?
1. Sound issues - We will solve it soon
2. DRM issues - Just don't watch netflix or prime in HD because we have loads of money to have HD plan but can't watch it.
3. Multi touch issue - what do you expect from a $300 phone?
4. Lag/Frame drop issues - What do you expect from a budget phone
5. Battery and Heating - Every phone has it, what is the problem?
etc
Tell me, did we just buy this phone for the sake of having a SD845 and liquid cooling system and not use it properly?
Is this device only capable of calculating 2+2 and no heavy work?
This device's name should be named Poco Compromise 1 instead...
BELIEVE ME I HAVE USED A LOT OF XIAOMI PHONES, I KNOW HOW THEY WORK:
I have used Redmi 2/Prime,3S/Prime,Note 3/4/5, Mi4i - Do you know Mi4i? This **** was launched as a Flagship in India but they ****ed us up.During the first month, they provided support although few people won't call it a support because for the heating issue they released a fix, that arsehead Barra called it their pathbreaking thermal config, when the developers looked at the config they found out that those idiots permanently turned off 2 cores of the SD615. Later when the hype died, they slept as they do everytime and after just 1 year the SOT of that phone dropped to 1 hour even when the device was used minimally. Because of their pathbreaking config, SD615 earned a bad name for being a non-battery friendly processor, although Moto G Turbo had the same processor and was one of the best device during that time.
I URGE YOU ALL (THOSE WHO HAVE TOUCH ISSUES) TO COMPLAIN WHEREVER YOU CAN SO THAT XIAOMI WILL AT LAST EITHER FIX THIS ISSUE OR TELL US IF IT IS A HARDWARE ISSUE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE AND THE HYPE DIES. JUST WRITE IT ANYWHERE YOU WANT, AFTER A MONTH OR WHENEVER POCO ANNOUNCES A NEW DEVICE ALL THE HYPE WILL SUDDENLY DIE AND NO ONE WILL CARE ABOUT THE ISSUES, SO DO SOMETHING WHILE THE TIME IS RIGHT!!!!

Dude. Just come on already. You keep making it sound worse each time you post the same thing.
Sound issue : A software bug nothing new. It'll get fixed if not improved in the later updates
DRM - Frankly if you had "loads" of money, then why didn't you put your trust in samsung or Apple. Leave Xiaomi to budgeteers.
Multi touch - Every one knows they made the biggest compromise in the display/touch panel. But most touch issues are due to gestures. Can be optimised.
Lag/Frame drops - unless you are playing emulator games from PS2, this is impossible. I play PUBG for 2-3 hrs every day.
Battery/heating - When you turn the best feature of a device into its worst, then it makes people think you ahve some kinda agenda here. Avg SOT is 9 hrs and max temp during intense gaming 40+ which comes down in 2 secs.
Only capable of 2+2, really? I had a legitimate argument going on with touch/display compromises but now.
I ordered mine earlier today. God help me lol

The only phone I have ever heard that the DRM was changed is OP5 others had to stick with whatever version they got. Apart from that the certificate change requires physical connection with an authenticated computer i.e. the company's computer that means about 7-10 days for those who live outside cities like Mumbai and Delhi and since very few (or none of) Xiaomi phones in India has L1 Widevine support all the legal hassles and paperwork will be so tedious that they will either charge you for that or won't do it.
Multitouch issue is different from what you are referring, check the following bug report and video:

Dude, I am not saying those things, that is actually what people are replying when someone says that they are having a problem with the phone
BELIEVE ME I HAVE USED A LOT OF XIAOMI PHONES, I KNOW HOW THEY WORK: So assuming you knew they treat you the wrong way all the time, why spend money on them again, and DRM issue for Xiaomi is well known, if you are familiar with their phones, why would you be shocked to know it now?
Maybe you are just angry!! Channelize it on the Xiaomi and Flipkart social feeds and your problem has higher chance of being solved.
Seems like OP got a bad unit.Sound issue and multitouch issue will be fixed in next update.Except Widevine L1 support, all thing said by you is wrong. No issue here, bought in first sale.

Yea I only said its possible and as no Mi devices supported it, even some huawei and zte didn't support it but only poco f1 model is being bashed for it because you all try to find cons in a product that offers at least more than its cost.
Multitouch is due to gestures implementation and it is a software issue. Sound is always fixable even if they don't(root and fix yourself). You may have gotten a bad unit but we didn't face any issues that are worth so much hate.

Good luck everyone this forums is lucky to have Gary here I recommend you take advantage if you need help I will be leaving the forums and no longer bothering anyone I am returning mine for a refund.
Refund confirmed hopefully Asus gets everything straightened out
PS Big thanks to Gary Key he knows how to get stuff done and be helpful forums should be grateful to have him here.
Same story here.
No lockup issues here before or after.
and unfortunately I called this very scenario playing out like this because this is what happens when you try to make firmware compatible with different hardware variables which it's clearly obvious the Primes have and if I had gun to head I would put my life on the processors. They should have only made 1.13 for the people having the ICS lockup issues if they want to take the half assing it shortcut route. The real way to clean up their mess is a mass recall which clearly they are not willing to do.
Feel like I should speak up because we only hear the negative
Have never really had issues with my prime other than mediocre wifi range, obviously no GPS, and before the update an occasional reboot (like once a week and I use it a lot) .
As far as I can tell this update has neither improved nor broke anything .haven't had random reboot yet. Usually dock it when I'm not using it, so I can not attest to any battery life changes but it doesn't appear worse (but my battery life has never been as great as I had hoped, ever since I got it but its a non issue)

Are you saying your prime occasionally reboots on it's own and you don't think that's a problem? maybe not for you but that's now how the device is supposed to function.
... I shall not make posts in the future when I am angry about something entirely unrelated ...

I am simply stating that before the update it had locked up and rebooted ...maybe a total of 3 times since I got it in early January. Yea I don't like it, but it happened so infrequently that I, personally, didn't mind (I am not at all complaining to the people complaining about random reboots, just sharing my story) and was planning on installing a custom rom anyway once the bootloader is unlocked and roms are developed.
Also, I've only had the update for a day or 2, so there is not enough evidence for me to come to any solid conclusion, but I can not tell a difference in performance for better or worse, and it at least hasn't locked up and rebooted yet.
Can you describe the "lock up " issue everyone is having? Its frequency too. Maybe I have it and am just too dumb to notice.
Not all Primes are the same, as we can clearly tell. Perhaps I was gifted with a Prime with marginally fewer problems. Who knows?
Had Reboots and Lockups before.
No Reboots and Lockups after .13 Update.
Wi-Fi now showing +5-10dBm after update.
PLUS, GPS can now lock on and maintain lock inside moving vehicle (Used it in trips up and down Houston all day yesterday with Google Nav and Sygic Nav).
BUT, now seems to have battery drain issues. Am still checking on what could be causing this. I'm not one who easily jumps to conclusions and blame the update just because even if the only change was the update.
I'll initiate a factory reset during the weekend with just base unit test and full re-install of apps. There has to be more to this issue than meets the eye.

Sorry if I came off rude I am just fed up with Asus and wish I could have my money back. anyway lockup issue is when whatever is currently on your screen will lockup and freeze in place for about 10 seconds and then the Prime will proceed to reboot itself if yours did this it has the "lockup issue with ICS " and believe it or not most Primes did not have this problem at all.

I'm with you, I haven't really had any problems either. It's obvious to me that there is small but percentage of primes that was sent out with problems. I can't think of any reason why a company would send out a recall for a small percentage of problems. It would be easier to just wait for those people to call in so they can fix it, which is what ASUS has always been willing to do. Instead it appears as though there are some people on this forum who just like to sit with their expensive toy that doesn't work and not do anything about it.
Mine has problems too
Just started after this damn .13 update, never had a single problem before but now every time the tab sleeps for more than a few min it wont come back unless I hold the power button for 10+ secconds. This is so anoying and I think Asus really needs to step up the customer support and get out a real update that fixes more than it breaks, and while they are at it recall the primes and replace them because they obviously werent ready for market and just were rushed to get sales before christmas. Please fix!!!!! I love my tablet but would just like it to work, I dont want to have to buy an iPad just to get a half decent producy that is 98% stable.
jdbaker82 said:
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...... returned my old Prime because it had lockup issue with ICS got a new one and have been happily using it for a month with no issues and now since 1.13 I have the random lockup reboot issue and to top it off my battery life is much worse. So basically Asus decided to test the new patch on the Primes with lockup issue but amazingly( or maybe not so amazing since this is Asus) they forgot to test it with Primes that didn't have the lockup issues.
I think Gary misplaced his notes for the patch and just made it sound good.
9.4.2.13 Release Notes -
1. Fix Random Reboot / Lockup Problem (100% success in regression testing with returned units, hopefully the same in the community) Truth: Fixed the random reboot issue on those that had it while causing the ones that did not have the problem to now randomly reboot and freeze.
2. who cares
3. General Performance Enhancements. Truth: severe performance degradation including battery and sleep issues.
4. New WiFi Firmware (there might be improvements in WiFi performance or lock capabilities, still working on the WiFi/BT dropout fix that will not be assisted by the WiFi/GPS Truth: We are blowing smoke up everyone's ass on this issue there will be no fix unless you want to design your own backplate for the Prime.

Done thanks.
I love how a lot of you are refusing to realize the fact that asus is working with new hardware... hardware that is currently unavailable in any other device. So Asus isn't hitting the sweet spot yet with all of these updates, welcome to owning brand new technology. Who knows what problems other manufacturers will run into with these new processors. The big things that I see here are;
1) someone from Asus is actually taking time to listen to the community, do their darnedest to assist where possible, and actually give us some type of update as to what is going on (whereas I have not heard of reps from other companies doing the same, hell, even giving us an idea as to what to expect in the next update)
2) we've gotten 4 updates in the past 2 months, which goes to show that Asus is actively trying to fix what's wrong. I know for a fact, that after 3 months, htc finally released an update that supposedly fixed random reboots for one of their devices (I know, I know, getting updates past a carrier is a pain, but still, I'm used to an update every 3 or so months, not every 2 weeks)
This is a HELL of a lot more that Asus is doing for their customers than quite a few other android manufacturers out there. Cut them a bit of slack, let them do their job and fix their devices, and in no time, we will all be happy with functioning tablets. For those of you who can't understand this and want to return their tablets, I wish I could say that I'm sad to say this, but go ahead. I, personally am gonna wait it out, see what can be accomplished, and I'll laugh at you guys when my prime is working as it should (which mine does, albeit a reboot here and there).
Things take time, not everything works right on the first few tries, but I'm sure that as they send out these updates, they're at least ruling out culprits for the issues.
Welcome to owning a technologically advanced chunk of metal, glass, and plastic, enjoy your stay or gtfo ^_^

Well put. I agree. Never seen this many updates so fast. Plus people forgetting we were the first tablet on ICS. The old xoom is just now, after s long time since release, getting ICS like a week ago or so.

And how do you propose having firmware changes just for people with issues be handled? How would general updates after that be implemented? The over simplified statement of only fixing the broken ones has a lot more ramifications than you could possibly imagine. It would make maintenance of the system a complete mess...

If it was free and I was a tester I'd understand. Honestly though, when they had all the dumb beta testers, didn't one of them notice there was no gps signal or did they notice it and ignore it? Baffled by this and I lose sleep at night.
Sent from my GT-I9100
I think that the worst part about all this is that they claim they tested the update, when it is clear that they haven't. This is TF201 launch all over again where they sent devices to the market that didn't get any testing.
Just when I didn't think all this could get any worse, it has.
I will vote in this poll about 3 days or more after receiving my update (not available for WW-devices yet..), I say 3 days because I want to monitor the tablet and see how how it reacts to the new update before jumping to conclusions.
My primary concern is that it of course actually fixes my random rebooting issue.. which it looks like it does when I check the forum for people who used to have the issue before.
I can imagine that the battery drain can be just for the first 24 hours or so, because the tablet has to get used to the changes or something like that
I ended up talking to a phone tester that works for LG here in San Diego. She's from South Korea, she deals directly with corporate in Seoul and translates for them. I told her my V10 is a glitchy freakhouse and that it was all her fault.
She said they know that a certain percentage of the phones are defective with overheating, GPS failure and other issues. She didnt tell me what percentage though so not sure how wide reaching this is. I realize that missing fact makes this a little less valuable info but I thought it was interesting enough to share.
No product is perfect. I've dodge most of the issues I see here in the forum, only heating issue I had was trying the set up a email with Exchange server.
Like you said a number would be interesting. Did she indicate it was a hardware or software issue?

I am with my third V10, all of them with dead píxels and screen issues...LG quality control is a joke.

She didnt and wouldnt know and I'll tell you why. She explained their process. The testers just sit in an office and play with the phones, they dont use them in their daily lives. Then they send all issues to LG R&D who are supposed to diagnose and fix the issues.
Maybe they have other people doing more in-depth desting, I dont know but she is a contract employee of LG.

I'm not sure what your intention is here but if we dont bring things like this to light then we're not doing anything to help all the people who are getting bad GPS, dead pixels, etc. that is screwing up their daily lives and causing a ton of hassle. I'm not an activist but I'm also not going to completely ignore it when this phone got me all excited, cost me $700 and then turned out to screw up my week and waste a bunch of my time.

Yup, I agree. I'm going to return the one I have today or tomorrow. I want this phone to work so bad. I might try a new one, one more time.
Yea, not sure if its true but I have read in many forums how phones don't work properly out of the box and most were fixed by doing a reset on the phone. The first V10 I had was great except for WiFi. I get over 100 Mbps at home and every device gets the same speed. However, the V10 was reaching 10 Mbps...after the reset it worked great and speed was up. I did end up exchanging for a new one (just to make sure I had a good phone, why I got to do a reset to fix a new phone) and the new V10 is great, out of the box. I get GPS lock quick, great WiFi and no lag.

Since english is not my primary language I will do an extraordinary effort to do this...I've passed for 4 V10's already. I was waiting by 9.00am October the 30th to get this wonderful device LG announced that hit every single check mark that I always wanted in a smartphone. My first impressions should've sufficed cause the first one they brought was scratched out of the box, yes, the metal bands were scratched, so obviously I asked for another and that one was ok at least on he outside.
After less than a month I started to notice some weird behavior when displaying some content with the brightness maxed to 100%...dead pixels everywhere( I made a post). I exchanged that unit to and to make the story short I am with my 4th V10(counting the scratched one) and this one has "only" one dead pixel(or an array cause I don't think we can spot one pixel on this devices with our bare eyes) with no other issues so am keeping it fighting my OCD every time I think about it. I don't want to call T-Mo again and put another exchange request cause I know it will come with dead pixels and/or other more problematic issues.
LG quality control is a joke, at this price point dead pixels policy should be 0.

i have a lot of dead pixels and experiencing image retention issues. can someone help me? i dont know what to do.
Same here.
I have around 8 dead pixels on my phone, and my phone has guaranty but after contacting with guaranty they said only can repair and replace my phone lcd with another one.
SHAME ON YOU LG ???
I only see people complaining about phones bought from USA operators/stores, none bought on Amazon or other countries, I wonder
I bought my v10 on launch from vzw. No issues since day 1. Everything is spot on including the fingerprint sensor.

I suspect most of the "complaints" are propaganda from the competition
For complaints. Try a different brand if your not happy with LG. Make both you and LG happy, and move on.
I have had my V10 since December (from T-Mobile). Initially no problems to report, but the image retention issue has become progressively worse (as I type this, the image of this site is being temporarily "burned in"), and the GPS has only recently been failing to connect for navigation. my father also got a V10 the same day, but does not report these issues. User activity may be leading to a faster declining lifespan of phone, but both phones have had a drastic increase in overheating since receiving the Marshmallow update, which may be playing a role in the even greater descent into decomposition.
I've been a big fan of LG phones for years, but the V10 may not be able to keep up with the demand (I'm 19, so like most millennials, I use my phone constantly-possibly why I have this issue)
So my LG V10 has been perfect from day one. Now lets assume that every post on this thread is factual.
Then all we can do is say sorry it was you that got the bad phone, if you add all the posts here it's still less the half a percent bad phones, that's a pretty good number.
I'm not sure if this is even allowed here but, I can't use the phone for phone calls AND 1 other "over the air service" such as GPS or WIFI hotspot or even wifi - if I do the calls get broken up with the poor audio routing of the blue tooth adapter--it's almost like the phone doesn't have enough resources to run cell phone call AND GPS or cell phone call AND blue tooth music or cell phone call AND wifi/hotspot service....any eon one service used at one time works flawlessly but with a cell phone you want to use ALL the wireless services at once and have them work.
AND, the phone shuts itself off when it's in my pocket and charge to 95-100%?? I miss phone calls from work all the time, I am constantly checking the phone to make sure it is still turn on. What a pain the behind.
I call Google - so sorry it's Huawei's problem, I call Huawei - so sorry its Googles problem. In the meantime I bought this phone from google and it worked well for 1.5(purchased 06-16-2016) years (besides the shutdown issue) then poof gone - it is now a piece of crap - 3 months outside of the one year warranty and I need a new phone!
So, my question to these two companies ( and I know they have lurkers in these forums all the time - that's why I am posting this here after speaking with BOTH of them) is: How in all honesty can you expect me and every single person I talk to about this to ever purchase another phone from either one of you?
Because I do talk, to everyone who will listen, about this; I see a LOT of people everyday, different jobs sites all over eastern Ontario. I tell them that as a technician for the past 30 years and knowing how technology works and also knowing that BOTH of these companies are probably to blame each in their own way and that NEITHER of these companies are thinking about their customers on this issue and only about their own bottom line I couldn't possibly recommend either one of them for anything.
Without exception these people I meet ask me which brand they think I SHOULD buy. I tell them this: "If you want a phone that just works and you aren't a customizer get an iPhone. If you are a customizer get a Razer Phone, an LG if you want cheap or a Samsung, Samsung being my preferred choice - but whatever you do, DO NOT buy a google phone or any phone made by Huawei because BOTH of these companies have proven to not be trust worthy, over this debacle, to their customers and if this is the case now then why would you think any future incidents of this nature would be any different?
Good bye to Google and Huawei, hello to Samsung again.
Thanks for letting me rant/rage here.
I have to say, I'm also disappointed on my nexus 6p. One day it just went nuts, shutdown itself and then bam! bootloop occurred and from that day on I can't install roms including stock, yes including stock, without applying a 4-core mod (forces my device to use only 4-cores to work and boot). Some say it's a hardware failure or something, idk. And even before that i have been having issues with my battery, i only get 4h sot average. I cant believe i spent so much for this crap. Dont get me wrong though, i love this camera very much and the stock google experience (and custom roms) but everything else is sh*t. So yeah, +1 for this "dissatisfaction"

Well I have no idea what carrier you use but if I was you I'd "accidentally drop" or "lose" my phone and file an insurance claim- I know Verizon told me if I end up breaking or losing my 6p they would either give me a Pixel 2 or 2XL so maybe that's something to look into?

Personal experience is the complete opposite. Phone was nearly 2 years old (1 year warranty in the UK) and started shutting down. Online chat with Google and confirmed I had done the basic fault fixes like factory reset and they immediately send out a refurb to replace it.
They had no legal requirement to do so but also did this for a lot of people who bought their phone through the play store. Its more complex if it was bought through a carrier as the warranty / contract is then with the carrier or Huawei and those experiences appear to be less straight forward.
Everyone has different experiences, I wouldn't touch Samsung with a barge pole due to personal problems I had with them and the number of faults our organisation has with their phones. Had an LG phone that had the reboot issue and they wouldn't do anything as it was outside of the 12 month warranty.
Warranties have an end date that you sign up to, they may give a goodwill gesture outside of this, or you can fight them to say the fault was inherent.
What have you done to diagnose the issue on your phone?
It could be as simple as the battery needs replacing. It can have all sorts of symptoms including shutting down or failing services when there is high demand and a power spike which the dying battery can't provide. Have you run something like Accubattery to check the battery state?

I'm in the UK. I bought mine from Playstore but the warranty card states the handset had a 2 year warranty?
I agree with you on LG though. I bought two LG G4's. One had the well documented bootloop within warranty and they repaired it. The second started to bootloop two weeks out of warranty...LG didn't want to know.

Had the same issue. The phone was practically useless for calls due to its secondary mic issue. The battery aged really well for me, though
When I contacted Google - they were pretty responsive. I really appreciate Google for this. After a year they had no obligation to even entertain me. But that's about it - they gave me standard replies like factory reset - to which I laughed. Rooting and disabling the secondary mic would have probably solved the issue but then the payment options would'nt have worked for me. Google had acknowledged the mic and the battery issue in North America but here in India they went the factory reset route. I shared the bug id as well. Nothing helped. They asked me to visit the Huawei service center. They changed mic - issue still persisted - asked me to contact Google.
I eventually got myself a Samsung N8. Had been with Google for 3 generations. The Pixel 2 XL couldn't convince me this time. Customer lost.
I'm having the dreaded touch lag issue on my poco device.
I've sent it back for repair or refund but they refuse to do anything since the touch tests pass.
I tried explaining them my previous 3 years old device is fine and that the poco which is much newer and faster should do this and they don't listen to me, they say that the device is working like the manufacturer intended for it to work.
So, can anyone record a video?
It should only take 2-3 minutes to record and upload. Do it in 480p it doesn't matter as long as it shows the issue.
There are 2 ways to do it, the correct way, and the fast way, I'll write both.
1) Go to about phone, kernel version, tap a few times then CIT testing app will open. (if it doesn't open try again)
Then go to the top right and press the three dot menu, then additional tools, then touch sensor.
Then tap really fast on the edges of the display. If your device is working as intended the touches should all be registered.
2) Download realdrum, and tap really fast on the below drums on the edge of the display, If your device is working as intended the drums should register all the inputs without missing.
Again it's urgent, so I could use all the help I can.
Thank you.
Did you tried your device without a case? I read about cases doing this issued.

I feel for you. All the 7 pocophone I have tried have this annoying issue. I've complained and asked people about it, and who claims that theirs is working fine is either using Swiftkeyboard (which isn't as fast as Gboard), or simply doesn't know how to test this properly. Maybe they just don't notice it at all, but I doubt there's a single pocophone without this bug, and this is what made me give up on the phone.

God damn it Xiaomi, how can they release a faulty device and take no responsibility for it?
Samsung went ahead and recalled all the Note 7s that had the battery issue, a much more expensive and higher selling device.

2 returned from a retail store, 2 from amazon, 1 that I tried from a store and 2 more from friends of mine. It's absurd how bad their quality control is. They claim that it's software, just like they claimed the screen bleeding was part of the phone. They're a ****ing joke.
Do you have a screen protector on , or to be more specific, a tempered glass one with the black band? If so this is your issue because the black band is slight raising the contact. Have you tried pressing the device harder to see it it registers?

No screen protector, pressing harder doesn't affected the usage.
Most of the units if not all have this problem, I canceled my order for this phone recently and I'm glad that I did. Xiaomi had to save on something and they did, sadly on the screen. Screens from tianma are known for their not very good quality ( rumors say that they catch afterimages after time ) and it feels bad that it turned out that this phone is a big no no. Screen is a numero uno thing when it comes to a phone, damn u look and type on it so despite the great specification this phone is a crap. People all over miui forum write threads that their pocophones have input lag and ghost touches. Xiaomi knows about it and since a month clam that they gonna fix it via ota updates. Let me tell you something they won't. It's not possible to fix it because it's a faulty digitizer that causes the problem which is obviously a part of the hardware. That's what happens when you try to rock the world with the best spec budget smartphone and u cut costs in the lcd panel area. With all that being said, don't fall for this phone. If you look for the good phone for 300 bucks then better option imo is for example Lg g6. Don't get fooled and stay open minded guys, peace.

Good decision, refund this crappy phone and get something better. When it comes to me xiaomi just lost a supporter and follower, once Hugo Barra left xiaomi everything started to fall apart ( mi mix 2/2s are not as revolutionary as the first mi mix was or the mi 8 which is nothing else than a iphone x copy ). It's always good to wait and see the very first 3 months after a phone release, usually after this time most of the fails/cons come out. Have a good day anyways

Well, it doesn't change the fact that lcd panels in pocophones are poor quality. I don't really believe that they managed to fix it via updates, only time will tell after let's say a month if the problem is fixed. I don't think that it will, it's better to send the phone back, get ur money and wait. There are way better options for example the aforementioned one plus 6.
Working fine for me
For me it is working fine. I can't see the blue line which show the position but the touch is working fine even when I tap it fast. The touch is always registered without the blue lines. You can always see a red dot where you touched.

And you try to understand smart boy that input lag is related to a hardware problem not a software problem, go and check by the way miui forums. There are plenty of people commenting that 9.6.25 didn't fix a thing.

Fyi op6 screen has high latency as well
so who thought that he can buy a flagship mobile with 300 $ ?! i think no expected that !!
you watch the reviews and the mobile looks like a mobile on steroids with 4000 mah then you buy the mobile and discover thats not the whole truth !!
the mobile lacks on the software and the hardware quality control !!
you are gonna face new problems that arent even found on cheap mobiles and were taken for granted before .. who could imagine buying a mobile with touch issues nowadays ??!!
anyway thats my list of problems that i want to share with you so you dont get deceived by reviews on the net :
i have touch problems .. it is not that severe but it prevents me from writing flawlessly and i have to spent double the time in correcting keyboard spelling mistakes .. i checked the display and it is the tianma fhd nt36672a display
i have other problems as well :
1. the display produce text red ghosting while scrolling text ( it could be minimized by fiddling with color but mobile colors will be messed up and the problem is still there partly )
2. there is quite a lag when dealing with camera zoom via touch and it is considered a massive lag not seen on cheap mobiles what about 845 sd processor
3. youtube hdr colors are washed out
4. hdr hevc 10bit files used to play flawlessly on embeded media player with correct colors but after update it turned out to be washed out as youtube hdr videos
5. light bleeding from lower edge is still there causing a bright edge
6. beside netflix and amazon problems not playing hd
Still have warranty? Have it replace.. mine works fine(no screen bleed,ghosting,etc).
When this phone launched at such aggressive price, everyone knew all along that the phone will have it's cons. Still the price and configuration makes it a fair deal in my opinion. There are few issues yes but nothing you can't shrug off.
Do not buy it, at least not until the touch problem is fixed.
I thought I would jump into this thread and ask my question...
So I have a Note 9 and it's... grand... it's just boring. I miss being able to really get under the hood and mess around with the phone. With the F1 I'll be able to do just that plus have a few quid in my back pocket after selling the Note 9.
The only things stopping me is the F1 is technically just a bit worse in most aspects (the screen being my major concern) and Samsung One UI looks interesting.
What you guys think?
I don't have any touch problems on mine.. but i have an annoying lockscreen notification issue.
While the phone is locked i receive a notification and it shows in the lockscreen. Then i unlock the phone without clicking/opening the notification. After that i lock the phone. When i wake up the phone and check my lockscreen, the notifications disappear. is there any way to fix the bug? it's really annoying. Please help guys. I'm on the latest stable update for poco f1. Global stable 10.0.6.0. I also use the default theme.

There are a lot of bugs on MIUI and things are gonna get worse. I sold the device when I had the chance, sorry for you.
I don't know why are you guys complaining, you knew about some issues and cosmetic disadvantages but I'm extremely satisfied with the phone. I got none of the problems listed above, for sure it's not Note 9 or OnePlus 6T but those phones are more or less about bragging rights. Just my 2 cents. Don't forget to try unlock Note Snapdragon or Huawei's bootloader
PS: Using Lineage firmware and it's more than I could hope for. :good::good::good:
My only complaint is that the stock software is absolute sh*t and you can't even unlock your own device, you have to ask permission for it, what the hell Xiaomi...
This makes me not recommend the Poco at all. If anyone is in doubt, just go for an OnePlus.

i own oneplus one. since day 1, the Oneplus One was awesome
but to be offended by the unlocking req by xiaomi is just childish
a lot of companies ships their phones with locked bootloader for ecurity purposes
those in china, their biggest supporters; will just use it as it is. so it is their priority
it is the same business strategy as Apple did in the USA
after asking permission to unlock, will have to wait for 72 hours on the bind device to unlock it
this is pretty safe.
MIUI is (if you are referring to it as stock software) quite heavy on the UI but it does comes with a lot of built in features that people (other people, yes) are quite fond off. so yeah, this phone is for everyone, not to deliver for just one person request
just heads on to their website, and request for features. done
well i am not nagging here i am pointing to real problems facing users .. also i am not debating is it worth the 300 $ or not because clearly it is worth it in my opinion .. but mobiles are not just hardware ??!! you cannot release a phone with too much software problems and bugs ??!!
also no consistency in fixing software problems .. you fix one problem 10 more arises ??!!
i just want to know whats is wrong with this company ??!!

well i agree as a starter but to have it replaced you must know the cause of the problem first .. am not gonna keep going and replacing the phone for like 10 times .. so xiaomi needs to address this at first .. it is not me alone who complains of software and hardware issues !!

For hardware issues(screen bleeding), it must be factory defect, so a warranty can replace.
For software issue(latency touch, notifications in notch), the are addressing the issue with their latest MIUI 10 beta 8.11.29
And I think Xiaomi are more focused on their flagship, the MI8.
