ISSUES IN RedmiNote4 (MIUI 9.6.3.0) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hello XDA!
This thread is to report regarding problems faced by me in Redmi Note 4 running MIUI 9.6.3.0 (LOCKED BOOTLOADER)
The much teased Lighting Fast MIUI9 seems to be mocking lightning itself.
The recent update have not only made the phone slower and laggy but also nerfed the overall experience
Few of such issues are --
*Delay in FingerPrint Sensor
The delay is significant, to the extent that even after placing your finger screen pops up 3-4sec later or you have to keep placing your finger 3-4 times back to back
Now it's not the issue with hardware, it works well usual for everything else
*SD Card is mounted everytime after waking up phone after a long time
Now this issue, is a 'feature' of MIUI or not I don't know?
But every time when you wake up phone after 15-20mins it shows 'SD is ready for use' in the notification area
And now the SD isnt showing up at all(Any Help?)
*Overall lag and Not-so-smooth transitions
The notification pull down, the cache loading, media loading, multi tasking, up and down scrolling everything seems to be laggy... Not in a drastic and force closes way but there's no smooth transition
Now Im not being choosey and critic but the lag is noticable and it's not cool because it wasn't there before
I've summarised my issue in these three sub headings
I'd be happy if the community can help me out and how can I make my phone experience better
I'd be thankful for your reply
I know issues like this might require logs so please tell me how can I help in that way
Regards,

UI lag and stutter

So today I found out that my phone isn't running well.
I'm not expecting the Sony UI to be perfect, lag-proof and anything, but I think the problem hasn't gone out and there's something wrong.
My phone constantly stutters and you get a bit of lag whenever I swipe from left to right, in the app drawer, the notification menu and when I'm opening apps. I've set the animation speed to 0.5x and it still stutters, paired with bits of lag. I'm looking for the smooth and fluidic transitions and animations but I'm just not getting it.
This happens each time I put my phone to sleep and wake it up after. It isn't the screen wake up lagging, but the UI itself. The animations start to stutter and lag then.
The solutions I have made are; restarting the device, which can get annoying every now and then; and freeing up space, which worked once and the problem went back again.

Is there a solution to this? I have installed more than 80 apps and I think it's one of the contributions to the problem.
And to be honest I have some OCD and it quite annoys me.

Do a clean flash via Flashtool (wipe everything), try with latest Lollipop update. After that install your apps one by one and try to figure it out which one is cause of your problems. :good:

Poco F1 Touch unresponsive/Lag in PUBG/Keyboard lag [workaround/Fix]

Hi I was facing issues with
1. Flesky Keyboard emojis cannot be touched.
2. UI Freeze*
3. Pubg
a. Joystick won't respond while parachuting.
b. Lags when another player is approaching me.
c. Some buttons usually the accelerate vehicle or the eye stops working or misbehaves.
d. Freezes completely* in front of the enemy player.
e. Freezes completely* at random places for a period of time and get back after I lock the screen and get back in.
*The application runs fine but none of my touch input gets registered.
On POCO F1 running MIUI 10 Global Beta ROM 8.10.25.
What worked for me.
1. Turned off 3 finger screenshot.
2. Turned off full-screen gesture
3. Turned off one-handed mode
4. Switched to google keyboard and turned off glide typing and gestures.
5. Uninstalled all touchscreen tester, repair and calibrate apps.
6. Cleaned Junk and reboot.
Results
UI lag and keyboard issues fixed completely.
Pubg Freeze fixed
Using game booster for pubg no issues yet.
Very rarely it does stutter and I know its because I use multiple apps (Texting..) sometimes while on pubg so I use the game booster to free up ram and it works.
Hope these help someone else facing the same issue.
I guess its the gestures.
PS: This is my first thread Its not an in-depth fix, maybe a workaround but if it helps someone then why not.
Update: Switched to stable miui 10.1.3.0 via updater app after factory reset. (Flashed complete ROM)
All the touch issues are fixed for me (I believe for many others in beta 8.12.13 also have them fixed. As the number of post complaining touch has reduced a lot).
Dirty flashing or ota updates were the reason for screen freezing/touch unresponsive issue in my case.
If you face similar issues as above please factory reset and flash complete rom again and don't restore old apps.
This can be done via updater app alone. Root or bootloader unlocking is not required.
Disabling Gestures made Gboard much better, indeed. Looks like there's no problem at all. But c'mon, Xiaomi need to fix it. Infinite Screen is a must need on this smart.
I will try PUBG Mobile now.
EDIT
Same problem on PUBG. Aim often just jump when you touch the screen. But hell, the keyboard is fast now!
I will go back to Infinite Mode anyway, theres no way to use Pocophone without it.
Thanks for the reply sorry that it did not work for you.
And yes without gestures its not very handy.

Thanks man. After reboot and turned on Infinite Mode again, surprisingly Gboard is working much better now!!
I'm typing really fast even with Infinite Mode On!

Does 8.12.13 really fix the slow touch issues?

I've read it from the MIUI Forums. Does this version really fix the touch response? If so, how can you rate it?
Yeah, so no more touch delays, touch not registering, PUBG aiming bug, screen freezes, screen flickers, and this is coming from a user that faced these issues about 2 months.
Now they only need to fix those multi touches/ghost touches and it'll be perfect as it's still there
So I guess not all is experiencing the issues you mentioned? I had the edge back gesture not working well before and the flicker, but I never experienced any ghost touch or input lags.
not everyone got all issues.... i only got touch latency which is fixed 90% what i can see now..... but they need to fix it further to make its smoother......
but somehow aiming in PUBG in 8.12.13 doesn't feel smooth and snappy 8.12.7/8.12.10.
Now they just need to fix multi touch and ghost touch. This happens when I use 2 touches and swiped them so hard.
Ghost touches always happen below the notch area and the navigation bar area
Just got the open beta 8.12.13 OTA, following are the observation :-
1) Keyboard lag is minimized.
2) Scrolling near edges is improved but still buggy near bezels.
3) YouTube picture-in-picture mode doesn't work in full screen gesture mode in poco launcher home screen.
4) Screen flickering in lock screen is gone but further need to be tested.
4) Icon refresh is still there when minimizing any app.
5) Back gesture now works properly when any app folder on home screen is open.
6) Tuch delay of back button of navigation Bar is gone.
7) Touch sensitive of screen is bit improved.
8) Something flower like icon is added in left bottom of lockscreen.
9) Notification icon is same it was in previous beta.
so far no ghost touch on my poco 8.12.13 eu

Dam. Now, I've to flash back MeMeUI again to test it. I'm happy using LOS16. I'm sure I'll regret flashing MeMeUI cause of the crappy cartoonist UI but if that fix the issues, that's more important for me right now.

Merging firmware into the ROM can fix sometimes. You can wait a little the LOS genius devs to take advantage the newer firmware/vendor files.
No, they still haven't fixed the bottom area latency. It's the same as it was for a couple of weeks.
For me the touch has got worse. I didn't have any touch issues on all stable ROMs I ran till this first stable Pie/Oreo rom. I say first Pie/Oreo ROM as it's the first stable Pie ROM but still using lib library from Oreo. I'm noticing that I'm making more mistakes typing than I was before so I feel it's over sensitive now

The Poco team said it themselves that they couldn't fix the touch in the latest stable release yet so it's probably the same firmware as in the earlier builds. Shouldn't feel any different.

I don't believe them at all. As I said I wasn't suffering from any touch issues and this latest stable ROM has made my touch worse
For those who get worse in the update,make sure you do a clean wipe before flashing.
I found that after doing a clean update,my touch is better. (Not sure if it is really working but installing Magisk also kind of making my phone smoother)
But for sure the touch latency is improved.
For ghost touch,i test with multitouch tester,no more.but in pubg there is still ghost touch (my character shoot randomly when my thump near the shoot button). However,can fix by separate the buttons a bit far from each other.Then,reduce the in game camera about -5 to -10 for each categories.i found the game is more playable that way.My guess is that somehow the phone screen sensitivity is high.
For me, as a regular user, I can say that the touch is worse than 8.12.10.
When I say worse, I refer to the up / down scrolling through pages / facebook / etc.
Other than that, I don't seem to have any issues

MIUI 12.5.1 for Redmi 9 Prime... More Bugs than I Can Count

Hey, hope everyone is doing well,
So recently got the MIUI 12.5.1 as an OTA update and I was like, why not update? I immediately regretted it, the new version has way too many bugs.
Bugs and issues that I could find:
- Dark theme somehow got EVEN worse than last version. Messenger on dark theme is utterly broken: some messages white, others dark, others just completely vanish.
- Sharing a Discord image to Discord causes an infinite loop of sharing showing "Android System" (This whole personal/work sharing looks so stupid btw)
- Pop-up applications like Twitch can sometimes completely break and the only way to close them is to restart the device (My Twitch window got stuck on Force stop button so I couldn't even force stop it)
- Soft-key navigator buttons sometimes get stuck in their animation
I'll report if I get any more issues. I really don't recommend updating your Redmi 9 Prime.
Now I am thinking about either downgrading or just totally installing a new custom ROM (I'm kinda fed up with MIUI). Do you recommend I remain patient until they push a new update, downgrade, or install a custom ROM?
Thanks for your time reading
Same here,my solution was to wipe data in recovery!!Cheers!!!

Same here mate. Tried factory reset. Fixed some of emm. Bt still no hope. Planning to downgrade my redmi 9 prime to 12.0.1 or sumtin were i was happy using it.
Bluetooth auto reconnects while playback (checked my bt earphones with other brand device, working fine once paired), app auto closes, phone hangs sometimes even when no heavy task is on background or foreground, auto skips to the next video on youtube while watching and countless other issues.
Am happy to try custom roms bt cant find any stable rom. Sugest me if there is any. Thank you.
My list of bugs in latest update :
- phone vibrate continuosly when powering on.
- auto brightness automatically sets the phone to 100% brightness when finishing calls.
- sometimes vibrate doesn't work in navigation bar.
I think Xiaomi software team won't even bother fixing all these bugs. Will all these be fixed in custom roms?
Tried factory reset. Didn't do any good. Planning to downgrade miui version.
Kimdly check anti rollbacK ban and rollback index if u r planning to downgrade ur miui versiOn.
wierd.. i don't have issues with brightness or vibrating
some issues of mine..
mobile data going off ( related to power plan change ? )
at 7 am change power plan / screen going on shows lock screen 2sec
-today however..the screen was blanco black for 5 min
--i did a forced reboot..the boot animation changed..and home navigation bar now shows : ■ Home < ( before there where 3 icons )
"random number.muigalary" files on root of sdcard there are like 200+ files
note..i use netguard and don't allow any updating on mobile data sim
I'm in 12.5.0.1 RJCEUXM.
I've face BT disconnect issue.sometimes app from app drawer vanishes & come back after sometime.Battery backup is also terrible.
For me MIUI 11.0.9.0 QJCEUXM was the perfect version.I will go back to MIUI 11 ASAP.
my unit got updated to 12.5.3 yesterday...
Let's see.. what it brings
I don't know if this happens also on redmi 9 prime, because my redmi 9 after updating to 12.5.4 wifi sometimes there is no connection so I have to turn off and turn on wifi again and I agree with your opinion that Dark theme is getting worse, I hope xiaomi soon to fix this

General GSI for our phone Corvus OS

So here's a ROM that i would recommend even tho it's in beta Corvus OS it's android 12 and everything works even the Camera but sadly not the greatness of Sony's Camera app...i personally haven't tried it with the Custom Kernel Kirisakura just yet but i will and report back on here if they place nice together...Magisk also works great with this ROM you just have to be careful what you flash...
Hopefully our device will be fully supported soon.
Just putting down some thoughts here.
Double tap to wake is borked, the setting already hints that it is unlikely to work and I can confirm this.
Forcing native res works rather poorly. On reboot I need to reset the dpi to make the GUI play nice, but some things remain iffy. Such as:
Gesture navigation still thinks preview windows should be the lower res, not native (looks poor, see attached images)
Some random visual glitches that cause a silent crash + restore, it's not critical but you can see it happening
No built-in battery health (as in limiting it), have to use something external (AccA)
Camera quality is way worse compared to stock. I don't mind as much as I don't care a lot, but quality regression is very significant (if I have to quantify it, I would accept 20-30%, but this feels more like 60%)
The GCAM's I've found that don't immediately crash (not many) all have serious bugs
No camera app found that plays nice with front camera, hope you weren't planning on taking pictures with the front camera
Edit: For 6 you can actually use the native app. Performance is super bad though.
To not sound too much like a downer I'll also put in some "niceties" compared to stock.
Holding volume button to seek is now native
OTA work again
Good visual eyecandy for charging, locking and more
No bloatware galore
Much much finer control over lots of little things, especially status bar is very nice
Other things:
The default launcher is a bit lacking, so I installed Nova 7, but this still has some shenanigans with force reloading and short unresponsiveness with gesture navigation. Very annoying, but I'm quite sure this is not the fault of the ROM. Just hoped this was improved (suggestions welcome)
If someone found a good GCAM please share, the ones I've found are either broken or seriously lacking.
It seems that sometimes the phone does not respond to my finger until I press the button. This could be intentional to prevent accidental unlocks / phone being locked for X seconds because lots of "bad" fingerprints detected.

Yeah this is the only ROM that i found that legit decided to be custom and not just copy/pasta of Pixel Experience without the GCAM and a different name.....for what I use my phone for it's 100% functional...but it's far from being perfect for everyone rn...

Yeah, this is why I've been very hesitant to install to install GSI ROMs, all the issues I've mentioned are because the X1 III is not the same as most other devices.
Wake to tap? Device specific thing.
Native res issues? X1III specific.
No built in battery health? Not device specific, devs pls
Camera issues? Device specific.
I think I'll drop the higher res as that will remove the most jarring of issues. The camera is whatever as it will not improve by switching to PE and double tap to wake is meh. Annoying at worst.

Alright some more shenanigans and needing to do a clean install further I do know some more things now.
1. is still broken, I'll try flashing a different kernel perhaps.
2. It's actually not so bad. It will remember and auto apply on reboot after a couple seconds. Gesture and notification bar may be slightly borked, but that's fixed fast by reloading system UI and switching between gesture and button navigation. The thing about recents has been resolved by switching to a different launcher with it's own quickswitch (lawnchair).
3. Acca works fine.
4/5/6 Nothing.
Another update.
2 is fine. Just don't use the built in launcher while forcing 4k. Just use lawnchair or something (+ quickswitch).
On another note, automatic brightness does NOT appear to work. This is quite the massive issue. I'm honestly a bit baffled how I haven't noticed until today.
AOD is also quite broken, while the phone is on the wireless charging and being ratiod to 90% it will continously blink. That's super annoying as I normally use AOD to check if I got a message, if it blinks it takes my attention, effectively defeating the entire purpose of AOD. *Groan*
These issues are really starting to stack up by now, I'm seriously considering reverting to stock. I'm really worried something else won't be working once I need it in the future.

No autobrighness may be caused by not having an overlay. I've also been annoyed by that on Pixel Experience. Can you create a fresh overlay for this phone and do a pull request with phhuson's repo? (I assume that's what must done)

Issue is that the "official" info provided by Sony seems to explicitly disable double tap to wake.
This makes absolutely no sense as double tap to wake works fine in the vanilla ROM.
Maybe someone can confirm this? It's been some time.

It's available in stock but it has never worked correctly. The proximity sensor doesn't disable it! There's a "Prevent accidental operations with screen off" setting as the world's dumbest work-around. That puts a keyboard and alert on the screen while you're walking. It stops emergency butt-dialing but the battery still runs down.

A what now? I do recall the proximity sensor not working really well with dt2w but at least it worked and I didn't notice some significant battery drain.
I did see some things about dt2w being disabled because the touch interface is powered when the screen is powered and this can't be decoupled. I'm not sure if this applies to this phone though.
Regardless, it shouldn't really matter as the X1 III is an OLED screen anyways. So as long as it's full black it should be fine(?)
I'm not asking for the perfect solution and if battery drain slightly increases that's a worthwhile investment to me. At least provide the option. Don't decide what I want because it has potential side-effects (just warn or something lol).
Actually I'm going out on a limb and stating that dt2w should be enabled by default if the device's screen is an OLED screen. Overlay and device specific things be damned.
