Nope! Why is that?

I still have the same problem, upgrade to version 9.6.4.0 and the notch got bigger. Restore factory, went well but a day later returned. If it is annoying

I've also observed that something went wrong also with my notch, but after seeing your thread it is clear that I am also facing this issue. Also on 9.6.4 and just wondering if it happens also on orher versions, eu and chinese rom?

Well I have it in Hong Kong region to have the facial unlocking. I'm from Mexico and I buy it on AliExpress. I do not know who has the rom eu, I hope with miui 10 fix that

So im not the only one... Any fixes?

Pls help i cant stand it

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/themes/root-fit-status-bar-notch-t3838646 Solution is here

Seem fixed in global stable 9.6.7.0
Still some pixel for notification bar going below the actual notch, but at least fixed the bad designed notch issue.

Mi 8 issues - Camera, Flash, Ok Google, FaceID, Display

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

About flashlight, i rarely use it. I only use it for light in the dark. It perform good compare to my other devices (op3t, mi4c). I didnt pay attention to yellowish light.

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.
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.

Try global developer rom. Face id is working flawlessly.

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.

Auto brightness to low

Hi i am on gloabal stable rom and i have noticed that the brightness in low light goes to low and iff you change it manually to slightly higher it wont stick and after the phone screen is turned off and then back on the brightness in darker areas is to low again. Most android phones on Pie i have had have adaptive brightness meaning it will adapt to how you set it in each environment but on Miui i think it is different and it is also called auto brightness rather than ambient brightness. I am rooted and i have tried a couple of magisk fixes but nothing changed and in dark area it is still to dark and this is a big annoyance for me and i think it should an easy fix. Maybe someone know where the brightness values are located and can explain how to change this manually so it does not go so low in dark areas.

I have the same problem with 10.3.1 mi 9t pro

I don't have the problem anymore I moved to lineage

Somebody on forum said that you have to train your adaptive brightness. Every time it is too low you bring it up with slider and after few times it should learn your preferences. I didn't yet try this, but I will...

Usually on Android it works like that but on miui its called auto brightness rather than adaptive brightness and didn't work in the same way.

Any news on this? Does it work on MIUI 11 / Android 10 better? I love this phone but this issue is really annoying.

I'm on miui 11 EU it works perfectly.

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 Problems of Xiaomi 11TPro( be careful before buying )

Hi Guys
Here is the issues I found after 1 week of use , please feel free to add
The problem of randomly changing the screen brightness even if you cancelled the automatic adjustment of the screen brightness.
2- A problem with Facebook Messenger, messages and audio recordings disappear without sound.
3 The problem of Google Maps, the picture in picture option, is unstable, and does not work often
4 - The problem of WhatsApp Dual, when sending a location link, it does not open
5- The problem of hidden applications appearing in the recent list
6- The proximity sensors work stupidly, when I open an audio recording from WhatsApp, for example, the screen turns off and sound go very low , knowing that I am already far from it.
7_ The problem of the sound it is very weak , if I opened the speaker while driving , I will be unable to hear anything
8- The proximity sensor is not working, and the screen is always on when calling , or behaving wrongly ..
Very bad phone , I bought it after 2 years of using Realme 5 pro , I believe me the Realme phone was much better .
Realme is underestimate company ....
Edit : I have global software v 12.5.10 , please mention yours
Edit 2 : I will add that the wifi is disconnecting automatically after 15 minutes of connecting .
Edit 3 : The NFC is not working sometimes
Edit 4 : the device become hot with normal use .......
WTF
Please for all the kind people who commented here , please please go back and test all the list issues again one by one
Thanks

What kind of 11T pro did you receive, must be defective, I haven't faced anything except number 5 in your list, been using the phone for 2 months

Hello.
I Have this phone for a few months now and the only downside I see is the operation of the proximity sensor.
For everything else, I have no problem.

I can't hear the sound while driving , I was able to hear very well when I was using the Realme .
Maybe the Realme was that good ??

I also have this phone since november last year and i have none of these issues. only gripe i have is the battery drain. It might charge fast but it also dies fast compared to other phones.

NO it is not, may be your device is faulty. One thing I can say though is, the top speaker (near earpiece) is not as loud as the bottom one which is again a normal thing with all vendors.

So what is the issue ?, Am I doing something wrong with my settings ?

@Sammmnh
There are different versions of roms for different regions. There is Global rom (yours), EEA rom (for Europe), for Japan, Indonesia, etc. Just look to the link that I attached above. The newest Global rom is 12.5.10, the newest EEA rom is 12.5.20. You can't update Global rom to EEA rom You don't get update, because you have the newest version of Global rom.

@Sammmnh
Did you try to do Factory reset? Most of your problems looks like software issues and other people don't have them. You would loose your data but maybe it's worth to try.

Same here, the proximity function works intermittently like a hit or miss thing.
But yeah the speakers are probably one of the best I have ever heard in a mobile phone, and that gorgeous popping screen.
