I have 2 weeks with Miui 9 and for now everything is fine. Apart from some cosmetic changes, the SplitScreenMode works very well. They talk about system optimization, though I have not noticed it. Battery consumption as always, very good.

Had it for few hours, had some issues with hardware keys not responding. Switched back for stability and had issues with pin not detected in Android. Remove the password before flashing.

General Xiaomi Mi 11 issues and defects

Hello guys,
am new to Xiaomi Mi 11 and I want to share with you my opinions (not the positive ones, this is not the aim of this thread). I have Miui Global 12.0.3 rom on it.
Issues:
1. Netflix is not working fine, HDR is not working and video quality is really low. Problem is not related to my network
2. Notification center show notifications with cut content inside. No way to expand them
3. Problems downloading files through Chrome, sometimes download does not start
4. When I wear bluetooth headset, during a call the screen does not switch off
Negative:
1. Camera quality is not that great. My P20 PRO is shooting better in almost all the conditions (am talking about main camera).
2. Battery is worst than my P20 PRO
3. Fingerprint sensor is worst than my P20 PRO
4. Audio quality is worst than my P20 PRO
What do you think? You got the same issues and complaints?
Flash xiaomi.eu!
"4. Audio quality is worst than my P20 PRO"
Mate you got a broken phone , mines sounds better than my bluetooth speaker!

Have you tried P20 pro audio with Dolby enabled? i have both of them side my side and this is not better than my P20 Pro
I am on same rom and facing some issues as well.
1.I don't use Netflix.
2. Notifications are fine
3. Battery life is good., All day with normal use.
4. Only main camera is good, I am satisfied but not amazed,I did expected better one. I have Redmi K20. Other cameras are just garbage like on some super cheap garbage phone. But I think they will be fixed with software future updates. It happened like that on my Redmi K20.
5. I turned off fingerprint sensor because I didn't like haptic feedback while unlocking with fingerprint. It was working same as on Redmi K20. Not so fast but working good. Unlock every time except when your hand are whet.
6. Audio quality is great while talking over any app. And using stereo speakers also.
I did had stereo bug few times , upper speaker stoped working few times and started by itself... It works now.
Haptics are great , I am really enjoying it.
Will write more when I remember more

1.I don't use Netflix. --> waiting for someone confirming me the issue
2. Notifications are fine --> are you using MIUI or Android Style? I have the problem with Android Style
3. Battery life is good., All day with normal use. --> Yes me too. With P20 Pro with the same usage I can reach 2 days.
4. Only main camera is good, I am satisfied but not amazed,I did expected better one. I have Redmi K20. Other cameras are just garbage like on some super cheap garbage phone. But I think they will be fixed with software future updates. It happened like that on my Redmi K20. --> Try the Macro Camera, is amazing!!! Waiting for firmware updates for main and pano camera..
5. I turned off fingerprint sensor because I didn't like haptic feedback while unlocking with fingerprint. It was working same as on Redmi K20. Not so fast but working good. Unlock every time except when your hand are whet. --> I disabled haptic feedback
6. Audio quality is great while talking over any app. And using stereo speakers also. --> I like the quality too, but not that amazing if compared to P20 Pro..

Yes as I wrote in the first post!
I have another issue, I can't download files from Google Chrome. what about you?
My suggestion for you would be to factory reset your device and test that problems are solved.
Second option would be to download same global rom and reinstall it cuz maybe somehow your rom is corrupted. (For this you need yo unlock bootloader and wait 168h = 7days to unlock and than flash global rom 12.0.3.0) And if still you have same problems (I would suspect that something is wrong with the device) but than download EU rom and install that one.
If that don't work than you should return your device.
My question is , did anybody install EU rom from Global ? If I am correct installation works from Chinese rom to EU because EU is based on Chinese. I am not sure you can install EU from Global without errors.

The biggest issue I have found on MIUI 12.0.3 global is SOT. I get around 3h30min when on 120Hz and FHD+. A big amount of the battery is drained by Chrome. Anyone got this issue?

Question Mi 11 Pro connection issues

I'm having connection issues with the following apps
Android Auto: Drops out after a couple of minutes, goes back to home screen
Dialler: Cannot have a phone conversation longer than 7-8 mins before disconnect
Messaging: Is constantly dropping out and reconnecting to my laptop
Zepp: Keeps giving connection message errors on phone and watch
I guess it's some setting but other than turn off any battery saving I'm buggered if I can find a solution.
I'm running eu rom 12.5.10

I would like to know what issues? I've had mine since launch and don't have any? The post you are answering to is a 11 Pro. If you do have ultra issues, please ask ?
Hmm, changing cables didnt solve the situation?

No, I did try another cable. I have these drop outs on bluetooth as well.
Same here with the Mi 11 Pro not noticed any significant issues with anything.

I know MI11 Ultra had issue with proximity sensor/light sensor, but they fixed it in last stable xiaomi.eu releases, other than that didn't notice since lunch of MI11 Ultra
Well there are some issues,5ghz hotspot not working, rear screen a bit unused, minor stutter in certain occasions, hope these will be solved in the next updates

Question Auto brightness problem

Hi all, I used this 11 ultra for about 3-4 months, everything work well, but suddenly in few days ago, my screen auto brightness is darker thân before. I think auto brightness sensor is dirty or some dust maybe block it from function. But i dont know where is that sensor to clean it
Can someone show me the way to fix it, thanks alot
auto brightness unusable until installing this:

Can't help you then. One of the reasons why I like this phone is that you can enjoy the superior hardware while fixing any software issues (which you can be sure to expect) because it's so easy to root

Yeah, i know but i dont think i need root. When i first use Android, im very excited to root and do blah blah things. But its the story of 10 years ago. Now I can live happily without root
I used this brightness fix again today, each time you flash another EU Rom you might need to flash it again but it is effective

Strange indeed, I think it was a bug exclusive to the EU ROM , perhaps intentional to make battery life longer

I think may be the sensor was blocked by dust or somethings but dont know where is that sensor. When i go to CIT menu, light sensor test passed

General For people wondering how fluid is official MIUI 13

It freaking sucks. Do yourself a favor and stay on your A11-12 custom rom. I tested V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM, since it is the right branch for my phone and the performance is really bad. I see no improvement compared to MIUI 12.5. It's on the same bad level... Of course I did clean install.
.... Never change a winning team....
I was having huge issues with it and then I performed a factory reset, which improved things a bit. Still seems more sluggish than it should be, but I'm hoping for improvements down the road.
What's a fully functional A12 replacement?
So you think MIUI 13 sucks, but then tell us it is as bad as 12.5.
MIUI 12.5 for me is fine, everything is smooth even on forced 120hz.
So by your logic MIUI 13 will be fine for me, thanks!

I've tried a lot of the popular A11 ROMs, and while most of them are solid and have few to no issues, I find myself coming back to MIUI often. No real issues with MIUI either. The only thing that I don't really like is that the animation transitions take too long, making the phone seem slower. But that is mostly fixed by changing all of the animations from 1.0x to 0.5x in the developer options.
After using xiaomi.eu A12 on my phone for over a week now, I can agree that it does mostly feel the same as 12.5, but maybe a bit faster. So if you did have no issues with MIUI 12.5, you'll probably enjoy MIUI 13.

Do note that i use Nova Launcher
....I use xiaomi.eu 12.5.9. It's quiet good for me.
I am on MIUI V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM.
It's no better or worse than MIUI 12 - so that's OK.
But, i want the most up to date security patches.
Therefore I will keep updating MIUI - why wouldn't you !
Stock MIUI 13 works just fine for me, and quite fast.
Also make sure to turn off memory extension, those extra 2 gigs of RAM, that's what's slowing down your phone.
Not sure why did they enable that feature by default when it clearly slows down the sistem.

If you call those MIUI variants fine then you will be shocked how smooth other custom roms can be. On MIUI even pulling down a modern style notification bar will grant you FPS drop lol.

Yeah, RAM management in MIUI is horrendous, it's like phone main objective is to kill everything the moment it's in the background.

Do you think I would stay on MIUI if the performance was subpar? I've had many phones with many customs ROMs, kernels, frameworks etc. Enough experience to judge this is working fine. Sure it needs some work before it works properly but that's what I needed to do with any phone I had previously, even on Nexus and Oneplus flagship phones that initially cost 3 times as much as this phone did.
MIUI debloated (with MIUI optimization enabled) works fine. No stutter, no noticeable fps drops, no nothing. Sure I don't play games, that is not what this phone is meant for tbh. It's a budget phone with (more then) flagship features.
The only thing I hated was the one week wait time before getting the bootloader unlocked and the overly aggressive app killing even after telling MIUI to stop bothering specific apps.
It's strange how so many people say MIUI 13 is worse than 12. For me, smoothness certainly improved, as did battery life. I'm on MiuiMix, though, not on stock MIUI. (Applies to both 12 and 13, though).
And yes, custom ROMs can be smoother. But they also have their own issues, so it's not like there's a clean winner or anything. One can simply choose the compromises that are tolerable for them.
Its works fine for me, i highly suggest you also try turning off extended ram it improved my experience a lot
Yes it's bad, real bad. Compared to the first version, 12.0.1, it sucks real bad and yes, the "extended ram" is disabled, i really don't recommend updating it.
The animations are slower, sometimes, the vibration suddenly stops, the control center is slow for some reason but i'm not surprised, that's how Android works, i'm used to it.
Currently using Xiaomi.eu v13.0.4.0.SKFMIXM (stable), primarily for the stock camera. So far, everything has been fine. Battery life is good, phone is responsive, no noticeable bugs. I'm not much of a fan of MIUI, but this has been one of the better experiences I've had with MIUI so far.
I also had the V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM update but since I have massive battery drain, the Google discovery doesn't work fine and certain notifications aren't erased when I wipe them. I did factory reset after update but the issues are still here. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Question What bugs exist in Miui 13 ?

there are news about Miui 13's bugs ? (on Redmi Note 10 Pro)
Have Redmi note 10 pro stuck on Miui 12.5, but i think flash it in Miui 13.
I wanted to know what bugs are left in Miui 13, and what is gained (or lost).
Because apparently Miui is known for its many bugs. (And even 12.5...)
In terms of overall performance, in games; what are the gains?
If there are benchmarks on big games like Genshin Impact between these two versions
Thanks in advance and sorry for the translator :/
-Flickering in apps such as discord and youtube
-Sometimes the notification panel when pulled down is completely transparent
Also some users have faced systemui error and camera brick after updating so be careful.
an old bug, that no one at Xiaomi tries to fix:
In SystemUI (latest Xiaomi.EU MIUI 13.0.12 and lower) are 2 methods of do not disturb (DND) integrated. at least DND can not be deactivated and activates itself by fault. that is annoying and a long known bug without fix or workaround.
Dual-SIM management doesnt work proper. Taking SIM-cards online /offline is buggy and works like try and error.
Found screenflickering in youtube and google app in low light conditions from time to time
But all in all, the jump from 12.5 to 13.0 is worth! dont postpone it much longer.

I will look for update it. And how do you feel about the overall performance ? do the games run better ?
The overall performance is better. Games run the same as before since a software update doesnt improve your hardware. Slight better since I used gamemode. Never have had hardware issues in PUBG or other FPS. Never tested Genshin or else. Sorry
The front camera just died and no sound is coming through Bluetooth devices after the update.You better not update it .

That has been happening lately and it can even happen on miui 12.5 or even aosp rom not guranteed that it won't thanks to xiaomi for that.
