The poco F1 has a notch issue. At first PUBG Mobile would be shown in full screen mode. The not h would cut through a piece of the image, however this allowed screen recordings to be full screen also. After the last miui10 update full screen has been disabled for pubg. Now the notch doesn't cut through the image however the black bar that is shows where the notch is supposed be to be, remains in all screen recordings. For me this is worse than having the notch cut through the image as it makes screen recordings look sub-par. Is there any fix for this issue?
It's in custom rooms also. The worst part is there is and option to move the buttons so that the notch is accommodated and the game can take the full screen. But even if you enable you still get a straight line near the notch.
I had a cracked screen on my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite before and I bought the component to fix it myself, (replacing the screen using service just cost too much in UK, I can almost buy another brand new phone) however the lower half of the screen does not work.
Is there any app that use to make my screen smaller so that I can actually use the usable section of the screen only please?
There is a app Screen Resizer (itdo.at.screenresizer) but i never tested it. But you can enable rotation for lockscreen and launcher, and for soft buttons you can install Auto Hide Softkeys (com.gmd.hidesoftkeys)
I was wondering if there is any app that could emulate the Smart Stay feature found in Galaxy devices, for Poco F1. I was an Honor Play user and it has that feature as well. Basically what it does is it uses the front camera to detect if someone is looking at the screen, and then prevents the screen from timeout.
The recently open apps or any app with light grey or black background show in the other app, Like it I open chrome of some times then I close chrome now I'm in now youtube app I can find everything in YouTube app it the screen color turn into grey or I try to find it I can notice it. After 10-15 min it disappears. There is no screen bleeding issue on my phone. I can literally see my WhatsApp in the background while going through the play store.
I can't attach a screenshot because the shadow effect is not visible in the screenshot. any screen with dark color works fine.
miui 11.05 the problem appears. After Sometime the problem is gone... I gave my poco to the service center after he flashed it the problem is coming. I am not sure if they changed my screen because it was working fine for miui 10 as well as with Miui 11 also.
I raised a complaint in Mi they say they need to change the screen and it will cost around INR 7000(100$). That's quite a lot.
If anyone has a solution to this problem then please help me in that. :crying:
You are not the only one my friend.
Just around the past 20 days I've seen what resembles "Screen Burn In". The image of the previous app remains as a "ghost" in the background. This is especially visible if you play a game like PUBG or CoD Mobile and then you switch to an app which has white background. Normally this issue is seen only on OLED but oddly enough it's showing on Poco which is LCD.
Thankfully though, the ghosting effect disappears after a while. If it does not disappear, you can use any app that can cycle the RGB colors. It is not a permanent fix.
Poco cut corners especially with the display. Issues from rejected touch to ghost touch to now this image retention problem.

i didn't have that problem it just starts occurring after i gave it to the service center
I have same issue.. specifically after high brightness...
That's a hardware issue and should have been replaced while in warranty. I have Pocophone F1 for over a year now (bought November 2018) but didn't have any issue. My usage is splitscreen with youtube at the top and any app at the bottom, screen is ON most of the time during my 8 hrs of work time with max continuous screen ON of 4 to 6 hours with brightness level averaging at around 60% using Auto. NO ghosting, image retention that happened on mine. Your IPS display is probably defective.
Hi, apparently the Activity Launcher doesn't work for MIUI 13/ Android 12. At the same time, the phone use PWM and has terrible flickering, has anyone found a working solution to the problem?
Thanks!

Activity Launcher, despite the name, is not an Android launcher. It is a tool that allows you to launch and create shortcuts for hidden apps/services. It's popular because it allows modifying the "Anti-Flicker Mode" setting available in some ROMs but hidden from the Settings App.
Nova Launcher, as an Android launcher, cannot enable DC dimming. I don't think DC dimming is possible with this phone at the moment.

Thank you very much for the clarification.
It's a shame that there are no solutions to the screen flickering problem for this lovely phone. Interestingly, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11s uses the same display, but there the flicker is much less and appears below 54% brightness only, while here it is even at 100% brightness, which is terrible for the eyes...
I haven't actually observed a flickering problem. I'm on MIUI 13.0.9 (Android 11) and can't even observe it at low brightnesses. I keep my display refresh rate at 60Hz to improve battery life, I don't know if that makes a difference? It's not a hardware issue with your device is it?
Use a camera on another phone, set it to pro mode, and choose a shutter speed of about 1/500s. Now point the camera at your phone's display and start dimming it. You will see black bars running all over the display. They are not visible to the naked eye, but at the same time your brain indexes them and if you stare for a long time they will give you a headache and damage your eyes...
This is called PWM and is characteristic of AMOLED screens, which is why they put so much strain on the eyes, unlike IPS screens, where the image does not flicker at all, regardless of the brightness of the screen.
btw my phone updated to android 12, is it possible to downgrade it back to android 11 or is there no such function in the menu?
You could probably flash the old firmware through adb, you could open a new thread and see if anyone has done it?
