[Help] My Phone is acting weird - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

My Phone sometimes lock the screen for no reason and totally random there is no pattern to know why it does so. it is really weird and pissing me off..
also my Sim card most of the time now isn't detected and other times it is detected totally random as well for god knows why !! I don't know what the hell is up with the phone but it's just the first time to have such a thing happening to me..
I didn't root it, didn't download any unsafe apps ,and didn't do anything unusual with it. just out of no where started acting weird..

you have to be more specific with ROM, version, vendor version, Magisk Version, kernel details !
if MIUI ? then which version / built/ cn / Dev ?

This kind of thing was happening a lot with mine, for no obvious reason. Stock rom. Also unprompted shutdowns, sometimes refusing to restart (for weeks at a time!)
It got really bad. I returned it to xiaomi, with footage of it refusing to start
They emailed me a video of their person restarting it. I explained again that it was an intermittent fault, but they just returned it me (after asking me whether it not I wanted it back!) I was without it about 6 weeks in all
It arrived, working.initially, and within 24 hrs it had shutdown again and continued to do so
Frustrated I took the back off, took it all apart and found that the antenna connection was a bit loose. Pressed in all the plugs (screen, battery etc) and screwed in the retaining plate good and tight. Put it all back together
Bingo!
No shutdowns since!
Took about 45 minutes and a steady hand
Can't be sure if it will work for you, but it's got my phone working again
Edit:
Just noticed your other post, mentioning recurrent reboots - all sounding quite consistent with my experience... Just saying
There are some good teardown videos on YouTube!

I didn't change the rom so it's miui global 10.3.8 stable and the kernel version is 4.9.112-perf-g4aff1b2

mine would just keep locking the screen it doesn't restart or shutdown and refuse to open. gonna try to reset the phone before I try to tear it down
Xiaomi technical service is just trash. and I don't have warranty so it will be even harder.
btw the other post was for another phone.

Absolutely - I'd recommend resetting a few steps ahead of getting out the screwdriver!

Please help! HTC HD2 keeps rebooting (soft reseting) out of it own

I don't know what the heck is going on with my HTC HD2, but the reboots are getting quite annoying.
Furthermore i noticed it happens when i utilize the cpu heavily.
Mostly with streaming video or playing games.
Have done multiple hard resets, rom updates and even custom roms but nothing seems to work.
Sometimes my phone even reboots(soft resets) after watching 5 whole seconds of youtube
So even directly after a hard reset the problem persists.
I'm totally confused right now(because i have tried everything i could do to fix this problem).
I am thinking could it be the battery not giving enough juice for the task? overheating ? or just faulty hardware?
what do you guys think?
because i noticed that the problem is happening more frequently over time.
Edit: it rebooted even in idle a moment ago (1th time) ???
Similar issue with youtube freeze and reset
I can validate your frustration. I am having problems with my HD2 freezing up as well and doing a soft reset on it's own. So the YouTube app opens up the HTC player and then it will play a few seconds and then freeze up. I also opened an MP4 movie file and view it with the HTC player and that also froze it. Last but not least, I have TomTom and that froze it after 15 minutes last night.
I have seen some postings that Tmobile and HTC will be releasing a new rom to fix some memory leaking issues so perhaps that might be it.
It started happening about a week ago for me. Please post any solutions you might find.
I am on:
OS v.5.2.21889
Mania v.2.5.20121412.1
ROM v.2.10.531.1 WWE
Radio v. 2.08.50.08.2
I have done some trail and error, played around with coreplayer and i noticed that when i set the video quality to FLV medium quality in the buildin youtube app in coreplayer i won't reboot that quick anymore, but after a couple of seconds it will eventually still reboot. If i set quality to high quality/high bandwidth i will reboot much faster (so this let's me think about some kind of memory leak/buffer overflow).
Furthermore luckly i don't have any problems with playing mp4 videos in coreplayer, i have tested this especially because of the youtube reboots, and it will keep playing for 1,5 hour without any problems, so maybe you could try coreplayer and see if that's a solution for your mp4 problem ?
But eventually it would be nice if these problems where sorted out so that the device will work like it is supossed to be
Already tried a TASK29 and a flashing a stock ROM from your SD card?
Ye, have tried task 29 (between each roms, i do use task to make sure that the phone is empty.) and when i went back to my 1.72 stock rom i did flash it from SD, but still no luck.
this happened to me today as i was logging onto the net. it did a full master reset.
Same thing happened to me after the unit froze. I pulled the battery, put it back in an it went into this continuous loop of starting up, going through the first couple of screens and then rebooting. What I eventually found to be the problem was that I had inadvertently bent one of the battery pins when I put the battery back in, not much but just enough to where it wasn't making contact. After I carefully straightened it out the issue was gone and it fired up as usual. I love simple fixes, of course this was after I task 29'd and reflashed which didnt correct the problem.

hmm i only got the problem while i'm watching streaming video through 3g and on usb > active sync > pc data connection / some (cpu intensive) games
with wifi no problems at all, it plays youtube for more then a hour without a reboot, and i tested it multiple times to make sure), and booting is just fine without a single hickup

Hey, thank you @thompsd. This was driving me crazy on my phone. I finally took it back to a TMobile store for replacement and they put me on the phone with support before they would issue a replacement. Of course I was bewildered when they had me take out the battery and put it back in (which I had done a zillion times) and the phone suddenly worked. The person on the phone told me that it was fixed because I had to keep the battery out for at least 90 seconds. This made absolutely no sense, but it was hard to argue with success. I walked out of the store with my head hung low in shame.
Tonight, sitting in an airport lounge waiting for a flight, I noticed that my phone was hung so I pulled the battery to reset it. When I put the battery back in and started it, the phone went into the reboot loop -- displaying the boot screen for a couple of seconds and then shutting down and rebooting. I pulled the battery for 90 seconds. 120 seconds, 5 minutes. No joy. Realizing that this solution made absolutely no sense in the first place, I decided to search around again.
I found your reply in this thread and looked at my battery contacts. One of them was bent. I straightened it out, put the battery back in and the phone booted right up. Now I realize that when I was on the phone with TMobile, I must have put the battery back in that one time in such a way that inadvertently straightened the pin.
Hi all,
I have (maybe) the same problem with my HD2 i.e. when it is "doing something", well not idle, it sometimes restarts itself and then usually will not get out of the cycle of crash/reboot untill I remove the battery and wait for a few minutes before starting it again.
This is always more frequent if I am using a serious application such as sat nav. It also has only happened when the unit is connected to power, either on my desk or in the car (different power sources), but disconnecting it from the power after the cycle has started doesn't help.
I have assumed from the symptoms that it is caused by overheating and so leaving it switched off for a period allows it to cool.
I have got a return packet from Vodafone to send it for repair but I am loath to do this as it is likely to take 10 days and I suspect I might either get a recon unit back or "no fault found".
Does anyone think this could be battery related? If so I would buy a 2nd battery and test it.
Cheers, Gordon
I can confirm having the same problem.
Using BattClock (which shows a.o. the battery temperature) I was able to establish that the resets and reset loops happen once the battery temperature exceeds 31-32°C.
Contacted HTC support and received reply that the phone qualifies for repair.
PS. My wife just suggested providing me with a cooler bag, so I can enjoy reset-free phone during summer heatwave...
I had similar behavior, but it was due to the new ROM release (4/28/10). I loaded the official T-Mobile release date ROM (2/19/10) and the problem went away.
L.B.
Yesterday my battery charge got very low and shut the phone down. When I turned the phone back on without charging it kept rebooting time after time. I tried plugging the charger in but that didn't help. I took out the battery and put it back in and that still didn't help. I finally caught it when it was rebooting and pressed volume down and got the phone in bootloader to at least stop the constant rebooting. I left the phone on the charger and after about 1/2 hour I pulled the battery and put it back in and the phone was fine.
I am not wanting this to happen again. Maybe I will go back to an older ROM.
if i have some luck i will receive my phone tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
i will let you know what has been repaired and if this solved the reboot problem.
today i received my phone back from the repair center.
The repair letter says that the display has being changed because it was not functioning anymore? (but when i sent the phone in the display was working like it should).
And the youtube problem is still there
Im having the same problem! i figure it was the battery overheating...or the rom or even probably a not compatible radio.....try to change all of these and is still restarting when ever it tries to connect to any data or internet usage. Ex. youtube, downloading of files from the internet, Remote Desktop even Microsoft My Phone still restarts.
even when i used to make/receive phone calls it would restart as soon as i picked it up to talk. but for this i had a solution witch as of now is working fine with out a problem.
if anybody else has this problem with the Receiving/making calls this should work.
1. Go to: Start/Settings/Connections
2. is the "TASK" tab choose "Manage Existing Connections"
3. In the "Modem Tab" has for options to choose from, normally is on "Auto", this was the problem. you would want to get it OFF AUTO.
4. Try all the other " voice Stream options Shown" and see witch one works for you without giving problems, and save. Im currently using "wap.voicestream.com." witch is the second option after Auto.
Well i hope this works for you guys if ur having similar problems, its actually work for me. GooD luck! hope this helps.

[Q] Need MAJOR HELP **A PHONE FROM HELL.*

Hi guys! I'm new around here, I've been lurking the forums for the past year or 2.
I originally had a i9000. Had it rooted, flashed & running 4.2.2 Hellybean, it was a dream, easiest android phone i've ever dealt with.
Today, I bring you a device that is so mind boggling and mysterious, it's ridiculous. Before you ask, yes I've searched and searched countless hours on end & sleepless nights. Trying to work out how to PERMANENTLY fix this device.
Straight up, I'm going to tell you what I've done, what I've tried, where the phone came from, model of the phone & all the useless stuff.
OKAY. Go.
I got the Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100T) off a friend recently, about a month or two back. He didn't have a back cover for it, and the camera was all smashed up (back camera). It was running on 4.1.2 Vodaphone Stock DVLSH. It had a few issues when the phone got to me.
I wasn't sure if the phones battery was depleted, but I had to muck around with the phone for a couple of hours just to get the damned thing to turn on.
When I had got the phone to turn on, I kept getting "Warning! Battery Disconnected!" messages, this was frustrating. I eventually let the phone fully charged before I mucked around with it and ignored the warning.
When it was fully charged, I went straight to rooting it. I first rooted it by flashing CF-Root and then flashed a custom rom. (Xylon AOKP. 4.2.2)
From here on, the phone started to randomly restart, drop signal, lose battery after random restarts, get semi boot loops.
So I flashed a different stock (XWPL8) and got rid of the Samsung Galaxy SII i9100T boot logo and it was changed to Samsung Galaxy SII i9100.
After this, I then again rooted the phone but this time a different method and used Siyah kernel and flashed Carbon rom 4.2.2.
I still encountered the same problem as Xylon 4.2.2.
So I kept reverting back to stock, re-rooting & trying again.
I've tried countless methods.
POSSIBLE HARDBRICK RECOVERY DON'T TAKE MY WORD THOUGH: I've even managed to HardBrick the device (yes I mean hardbrick, i didn't even JTAG to bring it back... I flashed Dorimax Kernel at some point and it hardbricked it to all ****.) I spent a few days trying to unbrick it when finally I just plugged it into the charged and forced it to internally turn on (i believe) and let the battery deplete (the phone was hot even when i unplugged it. So I let the battery drain.) Yes I even battery pulled and tried to reboot it to see if I could boot recovery or download or the rom even before I tried any of this! (absolutely nothing.)
I took out my SIM card after a full day of letting it drain (just to be sure) plugged it in, took out the battery while the charger was plugged in, put the battery back in, unplugged the charger while holding power, and plugged it back in and I got the charging logo booted into download mode after 80% charge and flashed stock again.
Now the problem(s) with the phone:
SEMI-BOOTLOOPS: Every time i've rooted the phone and even flashed different roms just to make sure, it does a "semi boot-loop" I've searched everywhere for people with the same problem but found nothing on it.
What it does, is it turns on (boots the samsung logo.) turns off, turns back on, turns off, turns back on etc and then after about 2-8 times of doing is usually it boots to the ROM and the phone works for awhile.
RANDOM REBOOTS: I don't get these much anymore since I found a solution where someone had just folded up a receipt and pushed the battery up against the prongs because it had about .5mm movement off the prongs. This fixed most of the random reboots and don't see many anymore.
SLEEP OF DEATH!?!?!? OR JUST A BLACK SCREEN THAT DOESN'T TURN BACK ON!?: This one I'm not 100% sure what it is, I read it's the S.O.D (Sleep of Death). Which is common on 4.0.4 and was apparently fixed in later Android versions. But sometimes, when I lock my phone, or my phone goes to sleep, the screen stays black even after I press the home button or the power button, at first I thought just restart it by battery pull or holding down power like everyone says, yeah it works, my phone boots up and does a semi-bootloop and goes back on eventually, but one day I left it on in the mysterious S.O.D. and waited 5-10 mins pressed the power button and it unlocked... This one really has me baffled and it does it a LOT.
REALLY BRIGHT SCREEN AFTER REBOOT SOMETIMES!: Okay, so sometimes when the phone finally turns on, the screen is really bright, like the brightness is still on half, but it's a lot more noticeable on how much brighter it is, it's nearly like a white.
It's really really BRIGHT. Phone shouldn't be able to look/get that bright. After a reboot though it goes away and goes back to normal but this leads me to believe something to do with the battery just a hunch.
RANDOM FREEZES!??!?: Sometimes the phone will just randomly freeze, I can be doing something and it'll just freeze, it won't turn off, I still get picture on the screen but it's frozen and I can't do anything until I either battery pull or reboot it by holding down the power button.
Before anyone asks, yes, I Factory Reset from recovery, Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache before, I flash a new rom etc.
- My GApps matches with my Android versions each time.
- The ROMs I have flashed are compatible with my phone.
- And I've made sure everything I have done is completely compatible with my phone and android version.
What I think!:
SEMI BOOT-LOOPS:
This one, I don't think much of, it's got me baffled. It could be something to do with the Boot-Loader, could be something to do with a bad flash (but I've even tried double flashing a single rom.)
the eMMC could be damaged in a certain way that it causes these self proclaimed "semi boot-loops"
RANDOM REBOOTS:
This one, I've pretty much fixed with the help of lurking the internet over and over for hours, so this indicates a battery problem, will be replacing it this week. (Yes I'm aware that this battery problem could be causing everything else to play up and that it could all be due to the battery but can we leave the battery out of this just for now so I have more options on how to fix it.)
SLEEP OF DEATH!?!?!? OR JUST A BLACK SCREEN THAT DOESN'T TURN BACK ON!?:
I believe that this could be due to either a high load on the CPU (maybe not so much high but a really low load that it goes into a state of nothing for awhile.) It drops into a mode where it's turned off (something bigger than deep-idle.)
REALLY BRIGHT SCREEN AFTER REBOOT SOMETIMES!:
I haven't changed voltages or messed with any voltages on my phone, but I believe that it does indeed have something to do with the CPU & GPU voltages or even the BATTERY Voltages either undervolting or being to high.
RANDOM FREEZES!??!?:
I think this one is something to do with my phone not liking the voltages stock set to it.
I read that somewhere Freezing the System Alarm Clock can fix the random reboots, so I've done that and also pushed the battery up with a bit of receipt so it touches the prongs completely.
Anyway, right now, the phone is on Stock Kernel with CWM Recovery6, with PacMan's 4.3.1 Nightly release on XWLP8 Baseband and it still does this all.
I know i'm asking for a lot of help and I'm probably going to get yelled at by Devs or forum mods or some body because I've done something wrong.
But if it doesn't belong here, move it please.
IT TRULY IS A PHONE FROM HELL.
-Thanks, Just another man who wants to fix silly problems for fun.
Youve said "dont mention get a new battery".What if that is the problem.
Maybe the phone has water damage, or it needs that hawkerpaulls scripts run.
Youve just got to try free stuff, then maybe splash a bit of cash I.e battery.
Nothing software/firmware-side is fixing this. Phone has major hardware issues going on. I wouldn't bother beyond trying the 'free stuff' TheUnderling mentioned.
erm - I'm agreeing with you on this 'phone from hell!' also agree with @theunderling and @MistahBungle - it doesn't sound like its worth fixing if the free stuff doesn't work - sounds like it would probably be cheaper to buy a second hand s2! Don't think dori kernel had anything to do with your 'hard brick' - I've been running dori for some time including the experimental builds, dori tests everything himself as do his team of testers - the 'd team' and I have never known him to release anything that even soft bricks let alone hard bricks.
Good luck :cyclops:

Sorry, I was half asleep when writing all this! I am getting a new battery this week! But I wanted to have a go at trouble shooting it but crossing out the battery from the list of problems seeing as it's being replaced this week @theunderling

It may sound like it @MistahBungle but I have faith and I come down to being very patient with technology even when I do reach ticking time bomb mode. I believe I can fix it if I just get the right help !
If the new battery doesn't do anything, It might be the logic board and i'll just go buy a new one.

@Jimsilver73 It really is!
I'm not the most wealthy person or have money to just throw at things like new phones etc etc. I'd love to see what I can do on my side and try and trouble shoot every problem for even the simpilest of DIY Solutions. I get a kick out of mucking with phones and computers.
Your probably right, but I was thinking that does Dori kernel keep stock voltages or does it change the voltages at all? Because it just managed to Hardbrick its self a few hours after flashing it which was odd, which led me to suspect that my phone didn't like the Dori Kernel & Carbon Rom Combination!
@theunderling I will try that Hawkers script by the way!
Is this the one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100558
Phone having no back cover and camera smashed suggests that there is a physical damage to the phone, i wouldn't even try battery to this one, it may just kill the new battery if there is some kind of water damage, tho you seem like having fun trying to repair it Yes, that's hawkers script, use it and couple of ROMs, (ICS,GB etc) to see if there is a software problem. If you can dissamble it, you can check if there are some contact problems between pieces.
Hi @Dakura thanks for the reply!
The camera isn't smashed completely, but at fist I thought that the camera would be screwing up the phone in someway.
I know for sure as well that there is no water damage, and the phone was just sitting around he lost the back cover randomly after he had bought an iPhone 4S.
I can disassemble it, I just need to find my little screw driver I use for stand-off changing on PC cases.
I read somewhere that the proximity sensor has a bit to do with things, so seeing as the back cover isn't on, that maybe dust got into it while it was in his draw and that's the reason for screen-offs? because the phone is still responsive. I can receive calls & text messages just the screen is black and doesn't come back on.
The warning in 4.0.4 "Warning! Battery Disconnected!" leads me to think that in versions above 4.0.4 (4.1.2 for example) don't have warnings and the phone just turns off.
**major update**
@Dakura @theunderling @Jimsilver73 @MistahBungle
Hey guys, so I've just taken the back CASING not the cover. Off the phone.
I've been looking for breaks in solder points on the Logic Board and around it.
- The Camera ISN'T smashed it was the lens on the case..
- Looks a tad dusty.
- Semi Boot-Loops have disappeared! booted the phone with the case off and the semi boot loops are gone tried booting multiple times each time with success!
- No breaks on the logic board from what I can see as far!
- For some reason the Camera app would not connect to the Camera. "Can't connect to Camera!" maybe the camera flex cable isn't in properly.
- First boot with case off, battery gave false reading of -1021032418914 (something along those lines). That's usually caused by a lose battery correct me if I'm wrong?
- Everything seemed a lot more responsive and working.
Hmmm.
So removing the screws and taking the back casing off made the Semi Boot-Loops go away.
Maybe a part of the back casing was pushing on the Logic board and shorting it out?
Maybe the screws torque where messing with it (e.g. on a HDD with computers the simpliest change in toque on the screws in the HDD can screw the HDD.)
But the torque of the screws where very loose.
Any ideas are much appreciated!!
Yep, probably a short-circuit or dust problem or displacement somewhere around there. What you said proves that somehow the phone was physically damaged. You may need to actually disassemble all the pieces, inspect them and put them all back together, and it still may not work, for now, try cleaning the dust and tighten the screws, fasten the board.
@Dakura thanks for the help today Dakura!
Finally got around to putting everything back together after an evaluation, made the flex-cables all snug and tightened up the screws a lot!
The phone appears to be working now.
at 100% it even vibrates now when i tap things it never used to.
I couldn't quite locate the problem, but I have a feeling that one of the flex cables could have come loose but only just enough to generate fluctuation of power between full and under to keep the phone on.
Hopefully the phone stays stable!
@theunderling thanks for recommending me HawkerPauls Nuke script, I'll be using that every time I re-rom my phone from now on!
Will update the thread on a possible fix for anyone else with this problem.
It's always good to run through every possibility and solution to fix problems before going out and blowing money.

[Q] Very annoying and weird problem

After riding my motorcycle in the rain, my P780 started turning itself off and on. I assume the power button sort of makes contact from time to time. At first it would allow the phone to boot before shutting down and then power on. Now it's just resetting itself every few seconds.
Has anyone heard of something like this happening? My 2 problems:
1. How do I stop it? I'm afraid it will break for good with all the shutting on and off. I can't stop it because I cannot remove the battery. I am in Vietnam and don't have access to any tools. So I just here a vibrating sound every 2 seconds or so when it turns on. The screen flickers a bit, then it shuts itself down. Repeat.
2. How the hell will I explain my problem to a service? Nobody speaks English here and I am not in one of the big cities.
I have no idea if the water played a role in this. Maybe it's a coincidence. The phone is currently in a big bowl of rice. I have no idea if it will do something. It's been there for over 3 hours and the battery doesn't seem to be giving out soon.
So yeah.
Help!
edit: it stopped resetting.. Now it just stays with all three buttons lit.

After riding my motorcycle in the rain, my P780 started turning itself off and on. I assume the power button sort of makes contact from time to time. At first it would allow the phone to boot before shutting down and then power on. Now it's just resetting itself every few seconds.
Has anyone heard of something like this happening? My 2 problems:
1. How do I stop it? I'm afraid it will break for good with all the shutting on and off. I can't stop it because I cannot remove the battery. I am in Vietnam and don't have access to any tools. So I just here a vibrating sound every 2 seconds or so when it turns on. The screen flickers a bit, then it shuts itself down. Repeat.
2. How the hell will I explain my problem to a service? Nobody speaks English here and I am not in one of the big cities.
I have no idea if the water played a role in this. Maybe it's a coincidence. The phone is currently in a big bowl of rice. I have no idea if it will do something. It's been there for over 3 hours and the battery doesn't seem to be giving out soon.
So yeah.
Help!
edit: it stopped resetting.. Now it just stays with all three buttons lit.

Hi,
Something similar happened with me also. Last week I was using the phone and suddenly it slept from pocket and
fall into full bucket of water. Immediately after this I taken out my phone from bucket and saw that it was starting again and again.
Without wasting anytime I dis mental my phone and kept under hair dryer and gave heat so that all water can get dry.
It was my luck that when giving heat and assembling it. It started working.
Now it is almost a week since this incident was occurred. everything working normal.
Hope it should help you.

This afternoon I took it to a shop. The guy took the battery out, put it back in. Phone starts working. After a few hours same thing starts happening again. At least now I got a video and I can show to him tomorrow. I still don't know what the real issue is.
Indeed the power button contact was at fault. After fixing that (twice, because I managed to fill it with water again) I have a new set of problems:
1. The signal of both phone cards is awful. Useless 99% of the time. I see a lot of people have this issue
2. The security applications magically changed to chinese and there doesn't seem to be an option to turn it back to english (this coming from a mandarin speaking girl I met on a bus)
3. I constantly get the message that I cannot install applications because I have no space available on the phone. I just run the chinese security app cleaner and it ejects 250MBs of garbage.
I guess installing a custom ROM might fix this? I don't know almost anything about ROMs and it is really important I don't brick the phone. My phone seems to alteady have a custom ROM. I have Vibeui 2.0. Do you have recomandations for a stabile and easy to install english ROM?
Thank you very much

Hi. Try to install a fresh new stock ROW firmware or custom ROM called Life. From Life you could try flashing modem software from my post How about some modems.
Good luck and Happy new year.

The problem is that I really have no idea how to that. Is there a page somewhere that describes the necessary steps I need to take? And is there a high bricking chance?

On the third point, no space available on the phone, either you're really out of space (check it, due to weird partitioning of the internal storage, might be true, but if you are trying to install through Play store (and know you have some space left), there is a known issue with the MTK chipset and Google Play Services version, giving this error. My workaround was to uninstall Play Store (it will not uninstall, but roll back all updates), then quickly install/update apps because the Play Store will update itself automatically again (can't stop it). Very annoying, but it works... After I upgraded to KitKat, no more issues with Play Store.

Poco F1 suddenly went dead. Help!

Last night while playing pubg my poco F1 touch stopped working, pressing the power button wouldn't let me turn the screen off. Long pressing the power button didn't switch off the device. Before it went dead I heard a constant hissing noise on the earphones for a few seconds. The temp was normal and the whole thing happened in about 30 secs.
After this my phone has been completely unresponsive, won't power on, not detected by PC, charging it wouldn't turn on led. When I failed to power it on again today morning and kept it in my bag, I realized the phone had warmed up slightly.
Probable cause?
I have been using NOS for around 4 months now. Exactly two days ago I tried flashing the vendor(9.6.27-9.0)+Nitrogen-OS-P-beryllium-20190714 from vendor(9.6.27-9.0)[/URL]+Nitrogen-OS-P-beryllium-20190614, which caused a lot of problems(UI crashing + phone heating) so I flashed back to the former. My phone was working fine till it died just a few hours later.
Few Questions
Unlocking and rooting doesn't void warranty, however I didn't find much about having a custom rom installed. I bought it from Flipkart flash sale on 29th Aug, 2018.
My phone has a few other issues - barely charges when I am on video call or pubg(1% in 20mins) & seeing ghost images due to image retention, which has been happening since last month.
I would take it to the service center tomorrow. In the mean time I would welcome any advice on how to get my phone fixed, as I hear that xaiomi servicing is notorious for creating more problems than solving.
I am barely within warranty so unless I get the best servicing it would be a pain to keep having to get it fixed.
Further is there any chance of getting a brand new phone?
PS: A big THANKS for going through this long post. I love my phones but Poco was the first to serve so well (my sony xperia mini, lenovo k3 note used to give me hell). I saved up and bought myself a poco , moving to custom roms fixed almost every problem. But that was short lived.
1) Playing PUBG is gonna make your phone run hot.
2) Charging your phone heats the battery.
3) Playing PUBG while your phone is charging is going to make your phone work hard and run hot.
4) If you live in an environment which is hot, the ambient heat isn't going to allow the device to cool very well.
If you haven't already, try holding the power button + volume up for about 30 seconds. I've had situations where, for some reason, it took substantially longer to get the device to wake up after a hard crash.
Not really sure what else to suggest at this time.
Get it replaced if you can I guess.
Sorry about the short lived Poco experience, that's unfortunate. Its a great phone!

2) yea I am aware, which is why I thought charging speeds were miserably low while doing something intensive. I thought it was a feature initially.. until I saw other users not experiencing that.
3) I love my poco and care for it like a mama .. I never let it run hot. Just warm.
Yea I tried going into recovery and fastboot. All I see is that my phone is making some heat when, that too can only be felt when I keep it in a ill ventilated space for a long time.
Thanks for the words man, I feel broken, never thought we would part this way. :'(
If you cant boot fasfboot or recovery, it is phisical issue. Go to service..
That's the speciality about Xioami ,
Change the POWER MODULE on PCB.
Contact a higher professional technician.
Same problem with me maybe about a month ago, when i used havoc 2.6, playing pubg but got system freeze, cant touch anything and the fps counter stopping too. What i've done was try to press lock/unlock button but didnt respond, it goes off when press lock button about 15-20seconds, so frustating when playing pubg around 30minutes.
But now normal when got 2.7 havoc update.
Thats the risk if we use custom rom/root device wkwk

Sorry to contradict you, but if the issue is the screen being dead, then why isn't the phone showing up on the PC when connected?
So I got it fixed today. I took it to the servicing center, they just said in case of liquid damage my warranty would be void and a nominal servicing fee of ₹118 would be charged. They replaced my motherboard and now I don't even have to flash MIUI again coz it's already loaded. Win-Win? no.. not yet ~_~
My screen retention or image persistence or ghost images being left behind still remains. At first they refused to even notice it, but then one of them later acknowledged and said that there is no way they can show that the screen fails their quality control check unless there are dead pixels or there is a touch issue.
I still have 10 days of warranty left and plan to do my utmost to get that screen replacement.
As for you good folks do be the judge if the problem is real or not. Youtube page and the ghost image of youtube page(doesn't show well in pic). If you feel kind enough do the same on your phone and let me know if you face something similar. Thank you
PS: for some reason the images links I posted didn't show.. does it take time for pics to get posted?
poco f1 not turning on

same thing happen with my poco f1 , i try to flash official stock rom but there was authentication need in order to flash rom. then i try some online flashing service but it didn't work, they said its some hardware problem. i also lost 30 USD(2400 inr).
I am fcuked.
Same thing happen with me today i was on stock rom and phone was also not rooted. While unzipping files my phone's screen suddenly got black and there after i tried rebooting it and all of my attempts failed. Now its not even charging. My phone is not in warranty what should i do? Me and my phone are both dead from within such a fabulous phone it was i dont even think of buying any other phone. Some one help me with the cost required to solve it. Thanks
Mine also dead about two weeks now ,unfortunately it s out off warrenty a week before that try to get by two repair shops, both said cant fix it cuz there's non spare parts. I googling around and in mi forum I read the post of a owner of poco face the same problem he said it's battery problem and get it fixed. now i placed order battery and also some top and bottom component of the phone just in case replacing battery won't work . My plan is If it not battery issue I'll try submerge the motherboard in 99% alcohol solution (method use for water damaged phone which i not sure my phone is ) and if that doesn't work I'll replace the board and component with new one this will cost me about 30$ and Awhole lot of my time. I took a gamble here .
This is not an useful response but using hotspot, uploading files and gaming stop my battery charging until I restart too
I'm on nitrogen os
How did you restart it?

How did you restart it? Cuz mine just dead and I'm not the only one face this same exact problem I've alot of owners with the same problem phone just died that what make it's so hard to troubleshoot what wrong.
**some said" It could be water damage as poco have no ipx rate", some even said "As poco f2/f2 pro come out there's a chance xiaomi just put sth in update making our phones dead so we can by new f2 " ** For myself I only use it for 1 year before it broke right after it run out of warranty, so I think I'll never mess with mi phone ever again ,i got samsung, huawei(5years still running), Lg all of them still last this day except for LG v10 which i bought used still last 1 year and I did resale for same price I bought it.
So I started looking for huawei and I bought nova 5t for -100buck off with a whole lot of gift as the shop want to get ride of huawei phone due to SH*t going on between us vs huawei. Happy with it so for and I hope it gonna last atleast 3years if not longer like my old huawei device.
bro same problem bro what happened what is the solution for this
facing same problem

i have exactly the same issue, happened a week ago, it just froze on lock screen , went off and nothing is responding. it does the same thing as yours when i connect to pc. Hope theres a solution to this . Have you tried flashing in edl mode with an mi authenticated account? That's one of the solutions i'm seeing online. Haven't tried it yet though.
i am unable to get edl mi authorised account .mi service centre are just forcing to change the motherboard....not getting any solution from last 4 weeks
many russian youtubers are claiming that they have got edl authorised account ..but i know they are just scamming users..

Honor 10 reboot randomly

Hi, I have a problem with a Honor 10.
Since August it started to restart randomly, I just replaced the battery and I just did two factory reset but the problem continues to manifest even in the configuration screen.
I would exclude the faulty power button, since before rebooting it usually froze on the activity I was performing.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Test power button with ohm meter.
It was doing this after the reset with just it's factory load? No 3rd party apps loaded?
Try reflashing firmware.
Maybe be a mobo failure.

I really don't think is the power button because it reboot even in idle on the table, and i saw that if i put it on charge it reboot instantly.
I have this problem even in the configuration screens after the factory reset, indeed i've must configured two or three times because of that.
I'll try to reflash the firmware, then i'll wait for a new battery i ordered a month ago.
If it will be still broken i guess is a mobo failure.
I have a question: i didn't flashed a smartphone before, and i was asking myself if this reboot problem can mess up with flashing, bricking the phone. Can it be possible?

Yeah if it interrupts the flash that won't end well...
If you can return it, do so... otherwise...
Before you go flashing nuts try to determine if it's a hardware issue. Check ribbon cable connectors... and that switch.
Firmware shouldn't become corrupted unless there's a flash memory failure or it was a bad flash to begin with.
Does it not do this is safe mode? 3rd party app if so.
If it does it when in the boot menu it's likely hardware.
If so it may be just a failed battery. Try with charger connected to see if this alters the behavior.
If you don't feel comfortable repairing it, let a good tech do it for you. I always remember my first mechanical alarm clock disassembly... it didn't go well

It reboots even in safe mode!
It would seem a hardware problem, possible that I bought a new battery already damaged?
It’s been a few hours since it works good after charging it to 100%, it seems that it starts to reboot towards 50%.
I wanted to flash it also because before doing the factory reset, it automatically installed some "stock" apps by itself, I refer to some games that Honor automatically installs at each factory reset, every time I uninstalled them, after some restart they reinstalled themselves.
It was a weird issue but looks like fixed with the factory reset, so now i only have the reboot issue.
I am so desperate that I would like to try the battery of my Honor 10 (the one with problems is that of my girlfriend), I would not buy another battery since I have to be delivered the one I ordered from a month.
It may be the battery, they can fail at any time.
It's rare for new ones to fail but it happens.
Use a firewall to block auto updates or installs.
Karma Firewall works well but its valuable logging feature doesn't work on Android 10 and higher, but it still will block apps.
Update: I just bought another battery and the problem persist.
Now im sure is not the battery so i will flash it very soon no matter what.
I have been having the same problem as you guys have since last Christmas (2020), when my phone was 18 months old.
I switched phone and gave the Honor 10 to my wife for Coin Master and the problem persisted.
However, two months ago the battery started to swell and surprisingly the problem went away completely for about a month. But as it swelled to the extent of pushing out the screen the problem returned a month ago.
Thinking it was possibly a battery/battery connection related issue, I changed to a new Pisen battery last night. Sadly, the rebooting continued but only for 2-3 times today.
So it is probably an issue with the board itself.

The battery failure may have damaged the mobo or perhaps it was preexisting.
Check ribbon connector pins for damage. Look around for visible solder cracks. Try pressing gently on the mobo with a pencil eraser with device powered on to try to find the area. Check ribbon cables too by gently moving them.
One of the most likely places for a failed solder joint are the BGA chipsets. The many solder pads are under the chipset, inaccessible.
Press gently on them to try and verify this. A hot air station (and skillset to use it) is the only way to repair this type of failure.
Any battery swelling is a failure, replace it asap.

As I said, battery has been replaced with a brand new one. Therefore the swelling issue is fixed.
Don't have the skill set to use a hot air gun or to solder so this is it for me.
Quite disappointed by the QC of Huawei as this was my first Huawei phone. I have been using Xiaomi since my first smartphone and never had an issue like this before.

My point was a mobo failure is generally a game over event.
I run strictly Samsung's as I like their UI and have become familiar with them. Of course in 2-3 years that could change if Samsung keeps dropping the ball.

I understand.
That said, Huawei did replace the MBs for out of warranty customers in mainland China as a good will gesture.
Too bad that policy did not extend outside of China.

Maybe see if they'll discount a mobo for you.
Not free but it might sweeten the deal.
Or write it off and move on.
All my Samsung's have been long lived with replacement batteries being the only repairs.
Another reason I like them.
In my case it was sort of dumb luck especially when choosing the first Note 10+. In this case they did live up to their hype.
The S4+ lasted over 5 years and still boots up.
I had the random reboots going on for weeks even at night, also bootloops sometimes .
I tried a lot of stuff but i got my phone going again for 2 weeks now without any reboots.
It might be just pure luck but this is what i did last time:
Did a complete reset of the Phone ( everything gone )
I changed simcard to other simslot (i think this made the difference, atleast for my phone)
No apps from Meta (You dont want any of their **** anyway )
ill keep you posted

Hey guys, it seems that I solved the problem by bringing the phone to a Huawei service center, they performed an "operation on the motherboard".
Actually they changed the battery with an "original" one for 60€ (the one I had replaced cost 10€ ), then when the problem obviously came back they did the repair on the mobo at no extra cost.
I guess it went well.

Did you had any reboots after the motherboard change?
I got the same issue with my Honor 10. Tried every trick that I could think of, but nothing seems to help.
What I noticed, that sometimes when it restarts it does get very hot in the area near the camera. (not sure exactly what component it's there but it's something on the motherboard)
I'm thinking if it worth doing this motherboard change. (as it seems to be a design/component issue if there are so many that have this problem)

No, no reboot at all, but I noticed later that they rolled back to Android 8.0, so I’m thinking that they didn’t fix the motherboard, but they actually found a workaround by downgrading the OS.
I’m afraid to try to upgrade to Android 10.0 for this reason, I don’t even know if I can do it considering the new Huawei policy of flashing and stuff, but my girlfriend is ok with that so I let it go.
I can confirm that even now, on each task (TikTok scrolling for example), it gets very very hot in that point near the camera, my perfectly still working Honor 10 instead does it only on intensive use of the camera.
I hope this information can help you with your Honor 10, I suggest you go back to an older version of Android if possible just for troubleshooting.
If it persists, the motherboard is probably faulty and you need to replace it, I guess...

No, no reboot at all, but I noticed later that they rolled back to Android 8.0, so I’m thinking that they didn’t fix the motherboard, but they actually found a workaround by downgrading the OS.
