Hello everyone,
I have just signed just to share with you my feedback about my new phone : Redmi K20 Pro, and to see if anyone has some solutions for that.
Well first I need to mention that I have been always a Oneplus user , I really enjoyed using OnePlus 5T and also the OnePlus 6T that I lost last month.
So instead of buying the OnePlus 7 pro , I decided to give Redmi k20 pro a try after seeing so many great reviews.
The phone is nice looking (I got the blue one) and also it has 8G RAM and 256G ROM and snapdragon 855.
So after trying the phone for a month now , here is the things that I really hate about this phone and I hope it can be fixed soon:
1- Mobile data:
I don't know how Redmi is doing this but it consumes almost 1Gb of data per day just by checking Instagram and Facebook and WhatsApp from time to time.
I check the data usage everyday and I can see that these apps (Instagram Facebook) consume that 1Gb of data. And I don't even watch videos or anything.
While using OnePlus 6t last month I used to pay a full month for 5Gb mobile data , and I can use it the whole month , and I have been watching YouTube videos and posting instagram stories daily.
But now I have spent 40Gb of mobile data in just 5 days to do what I have been doing with 5Gb of data using OnePlus 6T.
2- Calls always on screen:
This one is really frustrating. I remember with every Android phone I ever owned , when someone calls me and I'm busy I can just click the power button and the screen goes off, but in Redmi k20 Pro , we can't do that , the call will be on the screen until it's done , all you can do is mute the call by pressing the volume button , but still the call will be always poping. Also you can't do anything else even after muting the call , in other phone you can go back to WhatsApp or whatever you were doing even that the call is still ringing silencely.
3- fingerprint always on screen
Even that Redmi gives you the option to show fingerprint while screen is off. When you disable that option , the fingerprint still works on background , when you touch it while the screen is off , it will unlock, and this really consume so much battery, I tried removing the fingerprint option, and I noticed better battery life.
4- Dual GPS
I guess this one too has something to do with the draining of mobile data and battery life. If you decided to change the option to GPS only , it will give you inaccurate locations.
Other than that the phone is really nice for the price.
If you have any solution for any of that , I will really appreciate your reply.
Thank you

You'll find most things are better by flashing a custom ROM. MIUI is really the only problem with the K20 Pro. It will moist likely fix 1, 2 and 3.
Not sure what your issue is with number 4. Using WiFi and mobile data as well as GPS has nothing to do with Dual GPS. More or less all phones have the option to use WiFi and mobile signals for location services. Using only GPS doesn't give inaccurate locations, it just takes longer to obtain an accurate location. GPS is the only way to get accurate locations, but to be quick it needs to know approximately where it is initially, this is where mobile and WiFi data helps.

Is there any custom ROM for Redmi k20 Pro ? Also I'm worry that after flashing my phone I won't be able to receive any updates? And it will has less security ?

There are a few custom ROMs around now. Check out here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development
It's still early days, but they are now good enough for daily use, with some that may be close to becoming good enough to be considered as a stable build.
You will need to manually update the ROM. However some ROMs do give OTA updates, but that only happens once the ROM is stable and becomes an official build of that ROM. The main example of this would be LineageOS.
It depends what you consider for security. Most custom ROMs get updated regularly with the monthly Android security patches. You will still be able to have the phones data encrypted. But you will need to unlock the bootloader, which can be a security risk, if someone physically takes your phone and installs something bad on the phone.

I really appreciate your replies , I just hope it they can fix the 1,2,3 issues or if there is something on the settings that I missed. Since I can't see anyone complaining about those issues yet.
Honestly, just the glass body and the extra weight that comes with it. I am afraid i am gonna break it soon. Everything else is fine.
There are bugs and they will get fixed eventually. Its still not that old, miui team is focusing more on miui 11 so my guess is most fixes will come after that.
I moved from CN to Indian and cant complain much.

Thanks for your feedback. Are you facing the same 1,2,3 issues ? Specially the calls one ? How can I fix that? Sometime someone calls me while doing something really important and it's rude to cut the call and I can't answer the call because I will lose my concentration ?
no 1 sounds very weird , how can oneplus consume less data , no logic and its 40 vs 5 gb of data

I really don't know , it something like this , for example yesterday I just checked those apps using mobile data for like 15min then I moved to wifi connection. (I didn't even watch any video on Instagram and you can see that it did consume a lot of data, may be Redmi download all stories without even checking them , I really don't know , someone need to test this)
i didnt face any of those ! talking about 1 and 2 useing K20 pro chinese flashed to global version
the rest i didnt even care actually, i use the phone with always on screen with fingerprint always on and dual GPS always on, this is why i actually purchased this thing, enjoy it without worrying about battery life
if any, this phone in battery life is next to only mate 20x with its 5000 battery, didnt face the situation when i had to charge it before bed time, and i am a REALLY heavy user

- Power button ends call, you can search within the settings for this or you can find it under Additional settings\Accessibility\Interaction controls
- Data usage, I would highly recommend to setup a data limit within settings to avoid further issue, or just flash a custom rom such as xiaomi.eu.
I don't have any of the issue you mentioned using that rom. Its not hard to do this there a plenty of guides online which are easy to follow. You will lose the OTA with the EU rom but they are releasing updates regularly which can be flashed manually after you downloaded the new release (its also very easy).
I also own a OP7pro and have to say it has its own drawbacks. Apart of the 90hz screen its not better then the k20 pro.
I hope the above helps.

Thanks for your reply.
As for the calls , I don't want to end the call , I just want to let it ring on background. It's not nice to end the call on someone (and even if I do sometime they keep calling again) , I just want to click the home button and go finish my things, while the phone is ringing silenceley (just like in the OnePlus).
As for data usage , I did set the limit , but I always reach it. Just like now , just by typing this reply using my phone and using mobile data , I have consumed more than 100Mb. Please see the screenshot
By the way here is my phone details

Seems like something (one of your app I thing) is in constat sync using your data. You can check in settings\data usage which app using the most of it. I would try a complete factory reset maybe, and add apps back one by one. This may also help you to find what causing your high data usage.
Your firmware doesn't look right though. I believe you said you have a K20 pro (and I'm sure the mi9T pro not been released with 8/256gb version), even your firmware saying your device is a mi 9t pro. I think you just have a fake rom on it from your seller...
When you starting the phone up does it say "unlocked"? If yes then the above is true, then you can just replace the bootloader with TWRP and flash what ever custom rom you want.

You have a fake global ROM. It looks like you've bought a Chinese phone with a 'global' ROM. Unfortunately this 'global' ROM is fake, as at the time of buying there was no official global ROM. You will be better installing an official ROM, or trying a Xiaomi.eu ROM, then seeing if you're still having these problems.

Yes it said unlocked , I got the phone from this website https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/redmi-k20-pro-redmi-k20/1759-redmik20pro-8gb-256gb-chn.html
It did ask me which firmware , and I went with global original unlocked.
Can you please tell me how to install original ROM? or the xiaomi.eu? What the difference ? And are they in English ? I hope there is a tutorial to avoid bricking my phone.

Right you have 3 options now.
1, Is to get adb\fastboot with all the necessary drivers, then flash TWRP, then go to xiaomi. eu (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-10-0-10-1-10-2-10-3-10-4-stable-release.47170/) to download the stable and flash it via TWRP. You can use the all in one tool from here just search through the thread or google how to flash TWRP and you find your answer.
2, Is to flash the Indian Stable (called raphaelin). You would need the MIFlashTool for that but be care full DO NOT chose "clean and lock" on the bottom right only clean (otherwise you risking to brick your device)
3, Is to flash the Chinese Stable. Again you would need the MIFlashTool and the link for the rom can be found here. Locking the bootloader wouldn't cause bricking as your device is Chinese, however I don't recommend it. Specially if the Global rom come out later on I guess you want to be on that. Using the Chinese firmware will give you English but no other language, and you will see Chinese characters here and there within the UI.
The other advantage for the Chinese and the Indian firmware is that you would have OTA working, on the EU you won't.
Sorry that I didn't really gave you any direct links but I won't do your research. If you want to get any of the above done you would have to do your own research and learn the way doing it. Once you been successful you will be proud of yourself. Most of the guides can be found here, or on google. If you are a visual person just search on youtube (eg. how to use the MI Flash tool)
I hope this helps mate, good luck and all the best

I can confirm that all the problems you are facing are due to the fake rom. If it's a fake rom, you should have an unlocked bootloader. Now first of all, take backup of all your data. Then make sure you remove K20 Pro as your device from your Mi Cloud as it can cause problems later on. Next, download Mi Flash Tool, stock China ROM and xiaomi.eu ROM. Flash the stock ROM using Mi Flash Tools and fastboot. If your bootloader is unlocked, use the option "Clean All" which is present at the bottom of Mi Flash Tool. However if you want to relock your bootloader, use the option "Clean all and lock". But using this option will lead you to unlock it once again and face a waiting period. The choice is your. Once you have done this, flash TWRP and flash the xiaomi.eu ROM. You can find various guides on how should you flash xiaomi.eu on YouTube. Hope this helps

Thank you guys for giving the time to help me here , I really appreciate that , and I hope anyone else who got my same phone will find this thread helpful.
I guess I can flash the phone using TWRP , I have done that before with some Chinese phones. My issue now is deciding which ROM to choose , I don't want the EU as there will be no OTA. Now Chinese ROM has so many Chinese characters , and indian ROM I guess it has some ads if I remember reading it on some threads ? which one you guys do you suggest ? Thanks again

I'm using EU, and I have no issue with it. Everything seems to work what I use, however I'm not using NFC so cannot comment on that. We know OTA doesn't work (not sure if you know what OTA "over the air" is). It could be a bit annoying but as I said you will have regular updates for there, but you need to install them manually. There is an advantage of that as well, some updates could case issues or even crash and with this you can just skip an update and wait for the next one? Every coin has 2 sides .
Cannot comment on the other 2 roms because this one is working for me, so why would I break something if its working fine???
Little addon, my only complain on this device over the OP7pro was the 60hz screen, but there is a mod (easy to flash, no root required only TWRP) where you can overclock your screen to 75hz. There are other rates available. This will give you a very close experience what OP would give. You can find this in Mods.

Update: I see that the Mi Netherlands: Xiaomi Nederland just has announced the Global version today https://www.facebook.com/XiaomiNederland/photos/a.527907551042020/665372840628823/
So I will wait for the Global ROM to be released then flash it on my phone. I hope this is a possible solution.
Hope someone can help, the phone keeps freezing up during use, don't have many apps open. Seems to take a long time to open certain functions like the camera. Any suggestions please?

what version of miui do you currently have? i have miui 12.0.4 global version and works better them whem i buy it. maybe you can try that if you can
Hello! I have the MIUI Global 12.0.3 Stable version "QJOEUMX" and the 12.0.4 version didn't release yet, can I somehow install the version, for example V12.0.4.0.QJOMIXM, or I have to wait for the QJOEUMX to come out? Thank you!

If you already checked for update and didn't get anything, then you can go to web (these are plenty), download the 12.0.4 version and install via the Updater in your phone. I was done the same things.

Hi, like you I am on the globalEU release channel
I strongly recommend against trying to install firmware for the global channel (such as V12.0.4.0.QJOMIXM)
All being well the next release will drop soon, though I'm expecting an Android Q release for this phone shortly (there have been a lot of app updates in the past week)
Hopefully this may help with the freezes you're having
Tell me though, is it the 3gb or the 4gb version you have?
I ask because there was another guy posting who had the 3gb version and was reporting the same problem
MIUI is pretty bloated and needs a lot of spare memory to work well
He uninstalled a lot of MIUI apps and found it helped a lot

Hello! Thanks for your answer! I have the 3gb ram version, and the main problem is the cammera lagging and some games , like Pokemon go, are unplayable (sometimes the game won't even start, sometimes when i restart the phone works just fine for.. a couple of minutes). I guess i have to wait for the globalEU release :silly: . Thank you again for take the time to reply.

The new firmware release may help a little bit I'm not expecting miracles. MIUI is just too big - something like RAM monitor from Google Play will show you how little spare memory there is on your 3gb system
Really, since there's no way of expanding your memory, the best option seems to be to reduce unnecessary processes

Here is everything working perfectly.
No one app keeps freezing.

I am always doing local backup, transfer on my PC, then changing ROM and once ready return backup back to phone and restore.
im only getting 2 bars on mobile reception with in my home with the new version
XiaomiEU v13.0.10.0 stableso i went back to EEA and now im getting 4 bars and better download speeds on 5g
The keyboard sometime minimizes/closes itself after clicking on an input window. (only when using gestures for navigation) I haven't noticed this issue with the 13.0.9, but I can't guarantee that it wasn't a problem back then.
Having Network problem.
Coming from xiaomi.eu 12.5.20 - battery life is a lot worse.
Do not disturb (DND) mode doesn't work properly. I continue receiving WhatsApp sound notifications. It's really disappointing.

Hi alleshi,
As far as I researched correctly, v12.5.4.0 was the last fastboot version.
Happy Easter!

Plenty of bugs. Reception is a bit worse, battery life more so. Keyboard doesn't pop up every now and then or decides to minimize while typing, automatic time is completely broken - shows up 07.may.2090. Now time and date are set manually otherwise it doesn't work at all. And i have to do this after every reboot. After the update all the apps have lost their permissions so they have to be granted again. So far i see no major improvements in camera. The rear display is completely forgotten. All in all i have the feeling of a minor A11 udate instead of a A12 experience. It's not a bad phone, but Xiaomi clearly don't have mature enough UI to be in the flagship game. I don't think i'm buying any other Xiaomi phone.

Its so sad to see, all this problems with this awesome phone... Im happy im still on 12.5.20, my idea was to what for a stable, stable version on A12, but ehmm, it don't seems to come.
Atleast my version is rock solid... But after this phone, no more xiaomi phones for me in some years.
It is an awesome phone, i am hoping for aosp rom sooner than later.
Hi 11 Ultra followers,
has anyone already testet the new xiaomi.eu 13.0.12.0 (release date 2022-05-13)?
Is it better than the previous 13 versions?
Still issues or finally "golden"?
Thanks and best regards!
With all the deepest respect, but why is this still called "stable" version???
For me the 12.5.20 is rock stable. Yes im still there, i follow to see when to upgrade, but it seems to take long time, if ever.
so I can not find anything runs everything smoothly
