Hi people
Im from India and got myself this AMAZing phon yesterday from the US since its not available here..
I noticed a really tiny glowing pixel against black background only in the middle.
It's not gonna be easy for me to send it back for a replacement to the US...
I have a few questions :-
1) does anyone here have this problem
2) is there any way to fix it
3) is there a chance that the dead pixel will spread ?
thanks in advance
1. probably
2. no, screen replacement?
3. yes
1) probably but maybe not in the same place.(see below!)
2) search for 'stuck pixel' or 'Dead Pixel Detect' in the marketplace. Some people have said it works if you run the program for long enough, some people no difference.
3) possibly..
Anyone know dead stuck pixel policy, since I got 1 glowing too in the middle of the screen.

So I got the V10 a few weeks ago, love it way more than my old Note 3 and more than i would have loved the Note 5 i was considering. Few questions though:
1. When is Verizon gonna release a software update for the fingerprint case fix?
2. Morst importantly, is there a way I can change an app's notifications to force them to the second screen? (Yes I'm talking about you, Google Messenger.) Like a third-party app or something maybe.
3. Any non-root way to customize the soft key buttons, like to different logos or something?
4. IR Blaster- seems to me its got a range of like 8 feet. Which works fine in my room, but when I try to change the channel in the dining hall, it doesnt have the range of my Note 3. Any way to increase the range?
I'm new to this site so sorry if i broke any rules by posting multiple questions in one post, just looking for some help. Thanks to anyone who can help me out a bit!

I am coming from the Galaxy S5. I am looking for a app to help with my notifications also. I LOVE me led notifications. I usually won't even get a phone without that but wanted to try this phone. I like the phone but I am really missing that. I heard a little about light flow but don't know much about it.

You're talking about using light flow for the V10?
Hi Nick,
I can't help with 1, 3 & 4 ... but as for your second question; My Notifications have automatically just appeared on the 2nd Screen as they come in. I did play around with the 2nd Screen Options in Settings, and there are more options in there as well.
After reading a lot about this phone here and on other forums, it seems there's a big operational difference between Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and the others - ESPECIALLY ON THIS PHONE - so as you keep searching for answers (as I have) try to figure out if the post is from a user with the same network you're on.
Recently I moved to the lemax 2 from my deceased redmi note 3 pro,
In the moment I got the device I got rid of the ****ty eui and install RR 5.8.5 on my device.
I'm pretty satisfied with this ROM, butI have only thing that bothering me.
I like to play fps games on phone and peculiarly critical ops but for that I want my device to be very responsive touch, means when I do very small gestures on the screen it doesn't recnognize them as moments but as click.
I tried to use many so called "improving response" non of them is really changing something.
I found out that there might be a something called touch slop which is the value that sopused to be the one controlling it.
Some places told it is in the build.prop but I didn't found something like it.
Does anybody have any idea what there need to be done?
did you face the same problem on EUI?
I mean, People don't like EUI and go for custom , but later on they get such problem.
I'm pretty sure It has acured there too, but even if it didn't the ROM was very laggy.
I am not even sure that most of the people will consider my problem as a problem.
The only place I find disturbing is when I play and it's really annoying.
Everywhere else I can't even feel it.
I have searched in the web I couldn't find much info about it so or it doesn't very common or no one else is bothered by it.

Has anyone got a solution for this problem? thank
Hello dear members of XDA!
I would like to ask you a question. I have a problem with the notification light on XIAOMI REDMI 5 PLUS (Vince) on Android P 9.0.
I downloaded Android P Rom for Vince from XDA forum, I installed it to my phone with TWRP. Everything was going well but I realized that my phone's notification light always blinking while my battery is low, this is so annoyed for me that I uninstalled the Rom only for this reason. I tried every setting on my phone. But I could not solve this problem. If someone know the solving this problem please answer this tread. How can I close battery low blinking notification light until the end of the world? :crying:
Thanks.... Waiting for your answers...

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.

just a joke, mate.
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.
