Does anyone have the problem where scrolling isnsiepr fast and scrolling is also only nice when their finger in flat on the screen and morning an angle? When I use my left thumb, in an angle it sometimes doesn't scroll proeprly and instead moves very little. It's very annoying.
Yes i have this. It's caused by input lag very high on this Phone !
Yes its horrible..Can not understand that they sell it with such issues and call it master of speed.
Will send it Back in monday
LOL
another fake topic
Why Fake?
This is happening with me 2. Is it hardware issue? Or should I replace it?
Bad news http://en.miui.com/thread-3746297-1-1.html this smartphone is very bad !
I can use this phone through gloves.
I've kind of made the problem go away. Idk if it's a placebo and I've gotten used to it. But I'll end the thread and start another one to state what I've done. You can give me feedback there.

I also have the exact problem. The phone suddenly stops responding to some of the touches be it tap or swipe. Then after sometime it responds to all of the touches. How did you fix it?

I didn't have something that extreme. But it seems better for me after I turned off mi optimisation in the developers options. Also go to extra settings and pick authorisation. I turned everything off and left settings. I'm about to root my phone as it has been nearly 3 days. There should be a fix in the Mi forums somewherem
I think I made a right decision to buy the Honor Play Player Edition instead of Poco F1, lots of complaints everywhere!

Yes. For me it's a functionality rather than a bug. It allows me to use the screen even with gloves on. Also the response will normalise if you install a tempered glass.

I installed tempered glass from the 1st day and getting touch issues. I thought it is software bug. Like, if I swipe left or right and it works as swipe up or down.
Mi post about their miui 10 beta 2, their is written that ghost and multi touch problem will be solved. If miui beta 2 solved these issues then I will install it manually. https://en.miui.com/thread-3935216-1-1.html
I post about the touch issues to poco India in twitter and they replied me to DM to us with contact number and miui version of my device, our team will call you.
Lets see, will they call or not.

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.

Wow.
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.

Guys. I am planning to buy a gaming phone and 2 choices - Redmagic 5G and Black shark 3 pro. I am slightly more attracted to BS3 because of larger screen, and physical triggers but slightly concerned about few features, or lack of it. Could you please help me with few queries?
1) NFC - If I convert to global rom, would NFC work? BS3 global version (official), will come later this week but is super expensive in my country (S$1050 for RM5g vs. S$1500 for official global BS3 pro / S$1300 for china rom BS3 pro
2) What are the chances of root and custom roms (unpaid) coming on XDA? I definitely would want a global rom on my phone with root access.
3) Current owners, do you find the phone durable? I am hearing some complaints about the RM5g already (screen burn, dirt accumulating in the internal phone fan etc.)
Thank you so much for your help!

1. No NFC even if you change to global rom or buy global version
2. very low to 0 without paying
3. Dont buy red magic, I had very very very bad time with the red magic 3, I returned it to them and refunded
Where did you read that black shark 3 pro will be globally released by the end of this week?

The shopkeeper I deal with has pre ordered some sets, which he will get by this week. Probably EU edition, supports all bands and Google installed out of the box.
May i know what issues you had with RM3? I am slightly bent towards BS3 but almost 40% higher cost (for global) and lack of custom dev support makes me nervous.

Hopefully we can flash it to global some day. They really f*cked up the global release.
- First they say on May 8
- Then end of May.
- Then release the global model on June 4 exclusively on Shopee Malaysia
- Now they say late June for Europe and other countries.

yep, because on BS3Pro you must unlock the bootloader and flash twrp and then flash the global rom from there, I was told you get Otas by IMEI (its IMEI locked) and also the global rom that you will flash isnt the first global rom released (official global rom is 20.2.28) and you will flash 20.2.24 so you gonna experience some bugs from that leaked version

MoreLocale trick worked and got the apps in my language now. Most bloadware you can unistall by phone. I only used the bloadware trick to remove the standard browser.
There is still something that blocks notifications. I thought it was the security app (that was the fix for Chinese Huawei/Honor phones), but when removed the problem was still there.

Were you able to change the language of the AppStore with this trick? Also out of curiousity, what app did they use to install google services on your phone?
I got mine from Wondamobile and they used this app that is in chinese (apk name is com.goplaycn.googleinstall) with no language options (that I can find), was wondering if anyone knows whether I ever have to update this app or do I never touch it ?
I'm currently holding the A526U1 bought unlocked and on Metro as a carrier - my CSC appears to be TMK. (Unrooted, though I probably don't need to specify that with that U1) As of right now I still haven't gotten the Android 12 update, though a friend with the A52 5G on T-Mobile has, and that was about a week ago. I sort of expected to get mine pretty soon afterwards, with Metro being owned by T-Mobile and all, but nope, not the case. Was wondering where everyone else in the US is on the update, both on the large carriers and the smaller ones. I'm curious as to whether we're "mostly there" or still just getting started on the rollout.
Actually, it says on the T-Mobile website that their latest update is 12. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...a52-5g/software-updates-samsung-galaxy-a52-5g - I haven't asked him what model number he has, but he otherwise has the A52 5G and lives in the northeastern US just like I do. So it's definitely here, but not on my model/CSC.
Ah, yeah! I provided the info about my particular model but really was curious about the full, wider net in the US; my bad not clarifying further on that part!
I'm non T-Mobile and have had mine for the last week... I live here in Texas

Ooh haha gotcha, okay that lines up with the other T-Mobile release - I guess they probably put that out nationwide. The U1 still doesn't have the update as of today, which I find curious. I wonder if the other US models not attached to T-Mobile have theirs yet or if it's just the U on T-Mobile. Anyway thanks!

I also got the latest security patch just a few days ago.. I will say, there seems to be some glitches in this latest Android. For instance when typing sometimes the keyboard just disappears.. Plus the soft keys disappear and I can not exit back to the home screen.. This is mostly after watching videos online.. And a few times when I had the phone app open, I could not view recent calls or access my contacts, except opening up the contact app.

My friend on T-Mobile says he's gotten at least two follow-up patches after the main patch and was actually complaining about having to update so often, to which I said "dude you WANT those patches after a big OS update, they're cleaning up stuff that you're otherwise going to run into" - and I'd guess this is a good example of some of that stuff they haven't gotten to yet. I still have not received the new update, interestingly - I'm not sure whether Metro is being careful not to release a update that isn't quite finished baking or if my exact model isn't prioritized, but it would be nice to think that the version I end up with is a little more polished than the one you're having to deal with (boy figuring out quotes took me a hot second)
This is what I was talking about. The missing soft keys. They came back after swiping to take a screen shot

That's very weird. Okay Metro if you want to take your time making sure I don't gotta deal with that I'm cool honestly. Tho tbh this patch from Android 11 I'm on I have weird activity happen with Gboard - Gboard will try to activate but end up flashing open and then shut again, sometimes with what may be a real flash of noise on the screen that is hard for my eyes to actually detect. It's hard to predict when it will happen but it happens often enough! On the videos, not even scrolling back upwards makes the soft keys come back? (I ask because scrolling down in the gallery makes them disappear for me until I go up again)
Nope not even scrolling. I have let the screen time out then open again. Then the keys reappear.

That's bananas. Hope that gets fixed soon for you, that sounds like a hassle and a half. Have you looked to see if the gesture navigation bar does the same thing? Probably not that easy, but whack either way

I'm currently holding the A526U1 bought unlocked and on Metro as a carrier - my CSC appears to be TMK. (Unrooted, though I probably don't need to specify that with that U1) As of right now I still haven't gotten the Android 12 update, though a friend with the A52 5G on T-Mobile has, and that was about a week ago. I sort of expected to get mine pretty soon afterwards, with Metro being owned by T-Mobile and all, but nope, not the case. Was wondering where everyone else in the US is on the update, both on the large carriers and the smaller ones. I'm curious as to whether we're "mostly there" or still just getting started on the rollout.

I have the same exact model as you: A526U1, but I'm unlocked on AT&T. I too still do not have the Android 12/One UI 4 update. So it's definitely not a Metro thing that's holding up your update. I think they haven't updated it because not every carrier has finished testing it? Really not sure, but I'm super frustrated that other A52 5Gs got it here in the US but not the U1.
I do (and I assume you also do) have the January security patch.

I recently found that information that said that unlocked phones need to be tested on every carrier before being updated, and truthfully at this point seeing the bugs that they're still working through, I feel like that might come out as an advantage for us unlocked users? I'm not sure if it works the way I think it works but it's almost like everybody who isn't unlocked ends up beta testing for the unlocked users?
I do have the January security patch like you, but yeah, no big update yet. But I've contented myself with that on the logic above.
For anyone curious, I received the update last night for my unlocked A52 5G on Metro - so far I haven't noticed any bugs - in fact I think some minor issues I had seen with my display are gone? But there's still time lol. Hex theming is running successfully on it, as a sidenote
I actually got my update for Android 12 and One UI 4.0 a couple weeks ago and another security patch about a week later. From what I have read it has only been released for the A52 5G phones that are not carrier locked. Mine is the SM-A526U and I use with MetroPCS. So far I haven't had any issues with my updates and everything is working good. I did flash a custom GCAM 8.3 port from the new Google Pixel before the 12 update but both camera apps work pretty well with GCAM only having slightly better features. It does take some tinkering with as the ported app at first would take between 1-2 seconds to actually take the picture

Is anybody ordered? From where?
Giztop maybe?
I just placed an order at Trading Shenzhen. They're usually a bit cheaper than Giztop and offer Global shipping with no added import duties. I bought the Find N with them and do far I'm satisfied.
Thanks for the tip... Looking now...

I ordered mine through Wonda Mobile. Just received it yesterday. I have google play services installed and everything seems to be working fine so far. I have not tested Android Auto yet, but normally it won't work on CN ROM phones.

Yeah, Android Auto doesn't work. The error message says that it was not pre-installed. It must be bundled with the operating system.
Anyone else getting a message saying “Messages” wants to send a payment request message…….
When using Google messages as default messages app? I’m getting that error every time I mention something involving money like “I got a visa gift card for Christmas”
Anyone know how to turn that off or any work around?
Running latest software

It's great device. Nice having a compact Foldable that's not a Flip.

I got the green one. I'm coming from a rooted Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. At first, it got super annoying going back to the CN strict-heavy rom but, it doable in the US
Cons:
- Launchers still don't work without work around.
- Google messages doesn't send messages to non-RCS users if you send a message with hot words that have to do with money.
- Only 5 apps can be locked (running fully in the background, auto startup from boot) at a time.
- Even if notifications are set AND you chose to never revoke access, some apps still won't send notifications unless you mess with the setting again (usually toggle on/off)
-default messaging app doesn't allow group sms (all messages are recieved separately)
Pros:
- super duper compact and perfect in every way (hardware wise)
- 5g is a major go (reason why I sold my first oppo find n)
- everything else not listed above runs super smoothly (in California, on TMobile)
- Pictures are really good and videos too
I have my Xiaomi watch running on it fine, when my notifications don't work on the phone sometimes, it always does on the watch.
Unboxing was crazy, holding the little green hulk felt perfect. Really hope a global rom gets released or someone finds a way to root this phone.

I went with the black one cause of vegan leather material, I know it's fake leather but it feels good and had a better grip on it.

The price for N2 and Mix Fold 2 are more or less the same. Which do you prefer? Really tempted to order one of these two foldables.
