1) Just upgraded from a redmi6 which I was perfectly happy with except its blurry/noisy camera especially in low light conditions. Turned out upgrading to a mi8 was not a solution at all, same issue in low light conditions A driver/app optimization by Xiaomi is really required.
2) Compared to my redmi 6 camera flash (which is so powerful that it can burn your finger if you place on it) the mi8 camera flash is not as bright and has a more yellowish light. I don't know if it is supposed to be like that, so a discussion on this would he helpful to find out the truth.
3) Besides the above issues now I also lost the ability to activate the Google voice assistant by simply saying Ok Google since the options are grayed out. Did a research on the net and found out that there are hundreds of topics people facing the same issue, mainly with the mi8 besides some other Xiaomi phones. I believe there is some sort of incompability with miui10 which has to be fixed asap.
4) Where is face id? I don't want to change my region to china/india or hassle with stuff like trying to flash the Chinese version Rom, it just doesn't make sense.
5) Please correct me if I am wrong but as I remember the mi8 has a Samsung Amoled screen panel. It's not that it looks bad at all but my colors look really washed out compared to other amoled screen phones I compared side by side. Tried other color options in the settings but it didn't help improving it at all either.
My device: Mi 8 Global Version \ Miui 10.0.3.0 Global Stable
Any help and suggestion is welcome since I am really frustrated with this device. The redmi6 was an excellent phone based on its given price, how can a flagship device be so bad compared to its cheap budget phone? (Not to mention it lacks a 3,5mm headset and micro sd slot which the redmi6 had) Just not acceptable at all, I am really considering to leave the Xiaomi brand for sth else if these issues are not going to be fixed any soon.
Flash is like that for a more natural tone. OK Google is fixed in global beta so wait for an update. Face id is the same as OK Google. The color look OK to me but you can fine tune them in settings. For the night camera wait a bit for that famous update and install Google camera and you will not be disappointed

Global stable does have a problem with the camera. Miui 9 is even better in term of camera. The solution is to flash global developer rom. It has a better camera and more features.
If you like to use 3rd party app, Try gcam bsg it perform even better

Google assitant only work from global developer rom 8.11.23 and above. I dissapointed with xiaomi effort to fix 'ok google'. But since xiaomi need to maintain two different rom (chinese and global) and it seem they take more effort in the chinese rom (because china rom have more features and better camera performance, but it doesnt have gapps on it). This is why ok google is not yet to be fix on the stable rom.
I know this is not an excuse because xiaomi sell globaly.

I've never compare the panel side by side with the samsung amoled. I've compared it to op3t amoled it doesnt seem wash out.
If you compare it to ips panel, you will notice a little yellowish color, but imo a more natural color.

I want to thank all of you a lot for the good news and the relief you caused, it is really nice to have you guys on xda helping out and clearing minds, I really appreciate it thx for the info.
You'll still have to change the region to India or similar to get face unlock on global dev.

Face ID is not working in a lot of regions in Europe (probably some UE regulations), but I heard that Italy is working. I'd suggest you to change your region to Indonesia - it's not affecting you in any way, but enables Face ID without all this Indian crap like notifications from Music app and so on
Hello, I can confirm that Face ID works selecting Italy as region.
Still no sign of OK Google working, though.

Hello guys/gals
I have ordered my maze alpha x from gearbest cause i saw so many good reviews. But week later i have found this :
youtube.com/watch?v=vmXXL_0K28s
and this :
youtube.com/watch?v=qR4i8LENtS4
And i got frozen! i bought mine by paypal from gearbest and try to cancel my order but they say they wont do it so i made my case via paypal. Now dpd tries to deliver my maze alpha x but im not sure that i should pick it up if i will have the same problems. I couldnt find any information from people that are using this phone for month or more. Can Anyone help me? And say "Ok pick it up its great phone" or "Dont pick it up, order older model of xiaomi". Can anyone say something? also is google play working? Cause i had le eco 2 max and after update in december i couldnt download any apps.
I own the Maze Alpha X. It has great build quality and I like the design.
Tribezelless display with notification LED, front fingerprint and a rather big battery.
The touch function of the fingerprint sensor can substitue the navigation bar (I use nova launcher).
The problem with stopping during viewing videos or freezing of the phone in any case with the necessity to reboot did not accure in the last month I used the phone as my daily driver.
What you have to think about (and this has been mentioned in several reviews):
- The speaker at the bottom is very weak. Even if you increase the volume with the help of MTK engineering mode, it remains flat and squaking.
- The pictures taken by the camera are very noisy, but I think this is a software problem as far as I can evaluate. The compression of the pictures is too high. Changing the app (e.g. opencamera) does not solve the problem. Perhaps it will be improved by future firmware.
- The black colored frame will get marks very quickly. The coating ist not very resistant.
Thank You h4m5t3r
I think im gonna go with older model of xiaomi that got better notes in antutu benchmark maybe xiaomi mi 5s or xiaomi mi 6 or xiaomi redmi note 3
Best

today i receive ota for alpha x v04
Recently I got my Mi 8 running MIUI 10.0.0.3.0 (Stable). It is a global version with a locked bootloader right now.
I got a few problems:
1) Camera shutter sounds within whatsapp/instgram even in silent mode
2) No notifications in the topbar (I heard that the beta solved this), only if slide the notification bar down
3) Camera quality, oh gawd. It's really awful and like two steps down from my S7 Edge. Red colors are shown orange and the details are missing. This is ridiculous. Saw a few reports about this.
4) Sometimes even with silent mode on I hear the notification sound
Most imporant point is 3) that I want to get fixed. Will a custom rom fix my problems?
Also got any recommendation for a custom rom? I want it stable, maybe a few tweaks (like accu percentage) and I need magisk for google pay.
Try Havoc or Pixel3ROM and see if you like any of them.
Can you post camera samples? I"m curious to see what bad shots on the phone look like. Mine are excellent.

Some if not all of these can be fixed after an update. You should also attempt to mess with the camera AI, HDR, etc. to see if your results change. Usually custom roms make it uglier, but IDK about the Mi 8. GCam seems to be stealing the show, try that perhaps?

He may be talking about the pixelation issues, especially when using some app's camera feature, or in poor indoor lighting conditions. In the beginning I broke my head as to how it scored such a high DxOMark when I took shots in my place, which is not that great. Then took some outdoor shots, shots at a friend's place (with better lighting) and some shots in very low light at night and was stunned.
I also got the mi 8 since my S7 Edge is getting old and when playing with the camera on my office I noticed massive flickering (banding/white pulsing effect)s.
I know this is "normal" but I comparing with my old S7 Edge and some random colleagues iPhone 6 and the flickering was definitely much worse on the Mi 8.
I tried to change the band frequency in the settings but the improvements were minor.
Can this be a defect of my phone or does the Mi 8 camera just sucks on this?
Hi quys!
first of all ,sorry for my bad english!
but, i recently bought xiaomi mi 9 , i had lot of problem with it till now but the most important of it, its about display panel.
my perivious phone was samsung s8 Plus and s8 display was awesome (its 2 years before phone) but my mi 9 display not good as s8 plus , not even close, is this normal? or my phone have problem software?
Hi, what problem did you get ?
I had the reglular Samsung S8 and I find the Mi9 panel not far from the S8. As it is 1080 and not 1440 it has not as high pixel density, but I am more than happy with the Mi9. Never have any problems in bright sunlight as I could have with the S8.

thanks for your reply, but i a disappointed the first time i saw mi 9 display. i think the icons are like washed out and not sharp. i saw someone in this forum said after update mi9 , have a better display and compared his phone with S9!
my next problem is updating miui. my mi 9 is china pack and the website that i bought my phone , open phone box and flash global rom on china rom in china country and send them to customers. i have weird problem with the phone.crash app frequently ,google play service crash and stop ...,the worst problem is closing all apps and go to lock screen and after unlocking phone ,the message "find device closed unexpectedly" showed me and if im not reboot my phone this problem repeat and even sometimes my phone reboot itself even twice or more. now i signed out from my mi account and i turned off sync option and set off battery optimization and lots of setting option, and betternet app (vpn) not use anymore (this app made a lot of problem for me , i think) and now i have a better experience. i wished a new update fix my all problem . i am on V10.2.9.0.PFAMIXM Global Rom and new OTA Update V10.2.13.0 shown on my phone after downloading update , my phone reboot to start the update but after 25% in fastboot update failed and not update this time OTA Update is 2.2GB . i repeat this process a lot and no progress. even downloading zip file by PC and update manually not help, phone it said this is not official update.
what is the problem of my phone for OTA Update!?
You might be looking for more vivid colors. Go to Settings, Display, Contrast & Colors, and see if moving between "increased contrast" and "Standard" gives you more of what you expect to see. You can also set the color temperature to better match what Samsung uses by default

Yes, didn't think of that as I always tune down the overly saturated Samsung displays!
The auto brightness also seems to be a bit off. I have my brightness forced.
If you have DC dimming turned on, it can also change colors if you are on a lower brightness.
Coming from note 8 i am very satisfied with the screen, if the note is a 10" the mi 9 is 9,5". (i change the settings to be more vivid). I

So funny, we have beta versions with fixed notifications since months! And Xiaomi only releases security patches for stable ROMs... I guess they are focused on Android Q and MIUI 11 so we can't expect anything new on Pie but the good news is that it's planned for Mid October for Mi 9 so we don't have to wait too much more

There is no Digital Wellbeing in latest EEA ROM or I'm missing something.
DC Dimming is not working like it should be, at least with me, namely when I turn this option on, on broad day light i get some strange pulsing backlight behavior.

DC Dimming works for me with none of your problems, but I don't like the colors and how it looks at low light. I don't really have a problem with flicker at low light so I don't use it.

Glad to hear it that everything is working for You as it should.
Now, it's hard to describe this issue I have and I will not describe this as flickering rather as background light goes from high to low in intensity, like that it's following some amplitude of very low frequency (few Hertz's).
Though I didn't noticed any discoloration when DC Dimming is active.

By flickering I meant the flicker at low screen light that DC-dimming (anti-flicker) is supposed to remedy. Not everyone sees that flicker, or at least isn’t sensitive to it.
I don’t really know if it’s discoloration or if it’s just that the contrast is off or something else that makes me feel uneasy with the screen at low light and DC-dimming enabled.

I personally did noticed this "flickering" at low light environment-screen so I see this flicker but fortunately it wasn't such a big issue to me.
When this new iteration of ROM has came to life and inside was this new DC dimming option, I have told to my self "hey, look at this, excellent" but to my disappointment, i have this issue. I believe that this will be solved in new ROM, as always with Xiaomi developers, two steps forward, one step back!
At me, when this option is activated, i personally didn't noticed or felt any uneasiness, discomfort or anything like that?!
Strange!
P.S.
Maybe I have some issue with light intensity sensor but I have tested sensor in CIT and everything was as it should be?!
Strange!
Updater app is really buggy. I have to let screen turn on and update open or download speed will reduce to 50 kbps.
On time download 520 MB and after reboot failed to install. next time It's download 2.4G update file. I had to clear data updater app.
by the way after a few hours It's downloaded and installed successfully.
After update I noticed that I have something is downloading and take total of bandwidth! finally I found it with WatchDog 3G app. yes it was Updater download and download again and again and never stop.
So I had to go to updater and check for updater, as soon as I tap to check update the download progress bar appeared so I tapped and download stopped.
XIAOMI is a great company but they didn't pay attention to softwares very much.
I hope MIUI 11 will change my idea.

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!

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

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.
