So the update was available for a while if you're on Global and it just released for EEA devices. I honestly thought that they'll skip it and only release the 11.0.2.0 version on EEA.
If what I'm reading is correct, it was released a while ago for China and apparently some of the Global users got it too, it it supposedly more polished and it has a few bugs patched.
Can someone who downloaded the Android 10 based MIUI 11.0.1.0 and used it for a while on their Redmi 8 report how stable and polished it is? Did you encounter any bugs? Is it safe to update now or should I wait for a patch or two?
Update:
I installed it and it seems to work fine, no bugs so far and the only "issue" I found was that the Search in Settings takes a bit more time.

Miui 11.2.0 android 10 for redmi 8 Nigeria
Android 10 update on Redmi 8 Global Edition Nigeria : Review
Today I received the much awaited android 10 update on The Xiaomi Redmi 8 series and having awaited this update eagerly I was curious to explore the new fixes and features this update was to have .
Overview: the update named miui 11.2.0 global had a whopping 1.9gb as size on notification.
It took me approximately 13minutes to download it on MTN Nigeria 4g and installation was very smooth via the bootloader .
Restarting took a bit longer than normal for a first start bearing down almost to 1minute 23 seconds than the usual 50 seconds boot time I had due to first time start.
Unfortunately and much to my disappointment and anguish. This update came still based on Miui 11. I know, I know I am disappointed myself, I wanted miui 12 so bad.
Transition on miui 11 was normal and my entire set up was untouched , however I did notice that I had the gesture bar beneath the screen which I promptly disabled. This i hope is a sign we would get miui 12 soon.
There was no lag when I went through the phone also I did notice that a couple of xiaomi's native apps had been updated notably the browser.
The miui launcher for those using the default launcher on Android 9 now has the app drawer ability enabling have apps in a drawer than on default home mode, although I had this feature since installed a direct apk immediately I bought the phone..
Bugs:
Then to the bugs. The android 10 release is basically stable with probably bugs I haven't yet noticed but two bugs were immediately very obvious to me.
Battery drain: unlike in android 9 , my battery dropped drastically more in minutes than I ever experienced in this device dropping from 99 to 97 in 2 minutes on use than the usual 5, it did stabilize as the device settled and being used to custom ROMs I did expect it. I would update about the battery life as we progress.
Google assistant: by default I enabled Google assistant by long pressing my power button for .5 secs since I used gestures but it didn't work, I noticed the assistant apps was gone and downloaded from playstore but it still hasn't worked. I do love the assistant and hope the next update fixes the issue.
Verdict:
In a nutshell, if your a tester freak like me, downloading the latest update won't be a bad idea but don't just expect miui 12 as you will be disappointed.
You can delay the download till you have miui 12 avaliable which I believe won't be long enough, best guess October .
Funny side : was it me or did I think my device was a bit lighter after the update, I mean I picked up device and it felt like some weight was taken off, maybe it's my imagination.
Tell me what you think about your update in the comment section below and follow me back

I noticed a few bugs in addition that you wrote.
Icon bug: If you turn off MIUI opitmalization, then some icons in the homescreen will be bigger than the others. In Android 9, I never noticed this issue. You can easily fix it by turning back MIUI optimalization, and force stopping the System UI and the System launcher(they 'ill restart if you go back to the home screen, don't worry)
Spotify bug: Since the update If I turn on Equalizer in the settings of the spotify app, then the music will sounds like an errape
And the google assistant is working fine for me
The deitals of my Redmi 8: 64gb storage, 4GB ram
Chipset: Qualcomm SDM439 Snapdragon 439 (12 nm)
CPU: Octa-core (4x1.95 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.45 GHz Cortex A53)
GPU: Adreno 505
I wrote the last 3 rows because I don't know if there is a Mediatek/Mali version of this phone
Europan rom (Locked bootloader)
Yeah, I also noticed a few bugs that bothered me enough to downgrade back to Android 9 for now, and while I was at it I installed MIUIMIX to hopefully get a bit more battery and a bit less spyware
Was about to put it as a [Question] but decided to place it as possible troubleshoot and experience for anyone with same problem.
Damn, was not expecting this and out of the blue.
I used my mi11ultra normally today, on Xiaomi.eu 12.5.11.0.
I order from Uber, while i waited, was playing asphalt 9. Then poof, lost my wifi connection. Could use mobile data.
At 30% battery remaining.
Couldn't connect to wifi and decided to reboot my phone.
For a few tries turning on wifi reboots my phone after freezing for a few seconds.
Sometimes it doesnt even turn on(no blue icon)
Turn off phone and let the heat dissipate. it's not hot today, and im using FHD res at 120hz, also haven't been playing for a long time, maybe 30minutes.
Tried restart i wiped daivilk and art cache on twrp.
Tried updating just now to 12.5.12.0 , nothing.
Tried Reset Wifi, bluetooth and mobile, nothing.
It lets me, sometimes, enable wifi, search for networks, connect and the wifi shuts down after about 5 seconds.
Right now as i was writing this and decide charged the phone so i could factory wipe. Im at 60% battery and the issue is gone for now.
I posting BOLD on battery comment because i found it that that was the issue oddly enough.
I'm charging the phone till 100% and will let you know if it happens again. "i hope i don't jinx it."
My greatest fear is that i would have to send it to repairs which takes time.
I Jinxed it . Going to Factory reset.
Watched abit of Netflix and then suddenly it freezed the phone and rebooted automatically.
EDIT: It's a faulty wifi module... Have to send it for repairs

Chinese version. I even flashed original stock Chinese rom 12.5.12.0 and locked bootloader and it freezes and reboots itself when using wifi or bluetooth.

Sounds like it might be a hardware issue if it persists across all ROMs
Do you have a warranty to get a free fix ?

It had warranty, yes, and it was the Wifi module but ultimately i decided to get a refund.
Curiously i read it's a Mi 11 Series issue, if you decide to search in google "mi 11 wifi issue".
So i have to say farewell to Mi 11 Ultra Community.
My decision was done with several annoyances from Xiaomi and not for the hardware itself, all the crazy features and camera are badass.
Lack of optimization,
Missing gestures navigation with different launchers(which other manufactures already fixed long time ago in android 11...)
Generic updates(same changelog for all devices) and lack of transparency.
I still advise my friends and family to get a Xiaomi device for what they get for the price and i keep getting impressed by the hardware in these devices.
Also love the ecosystem and new features being added every MIUI version.
I got a POCO M3 with Android 10 Xiaomi.eu, that works gesture navigation and doesn't need third party apps.
I think it all comes down to software, because in the hardware department there isn't any complain from me.
I might even get a Poco X3 Pro for 170€ for a secondary device and install some AOSP rom there.
This decision might change in the future since Xiaomi said they are implementing a team dedicated for software issues, but not to this device.
Until then goodbye
Just my opinion,
seems like all hardware issues are happening to people who flashed non stock rom's.
Fingerprints before, and now wifi and Bluetooth.
Glad I am with global version and stock rom (tried .eu for a while and found it garbage). fingers crossed to stay happy
today i've bought my new zenfone 8, i was leaving a xiaomi mi 10 because of proximity sensor problems and miui instability.
read lots of reviews about zenfone 8 and all were enthusiasts... today after buying it i found a first post about ramdump, since today afternoon i've read lots of posts....
i've seen my phone is 04/21 MFD....
will it die? are there people wich had this phone (04/21 batch) without problems? searching around in forums seems that anyone sooner or later had the problem... so the phone is in the box and i don't know if i will return it or keep it... give me a little trust in this phone
Do you like to play Russian Roulette?
If you open the box you will have to.
I have phone of same batch 04/2021 and had ramdump once. But I easilly quit it with keys combo. I do not know why it works for some but not for others.
so there are people who never had problems?
cause i could see 30 people having problems, but i'd like to know if are 30 people on 50 or 30 people on 1000, it would be a big difference
Mine is mfd 04/2021 and I still have no problems
There is 35 confirmed cases of this issue and it might not be the same issue as Ramdump is just something zenfone 8 falls back to when there is a problem with the phone. Who knows how many (tens of thousands) people are there without any issues.
I would say relax and enjoy your phone. Don't unlock the bootloader so you don't lose the warranty, but other than that just use it normally.
I just checked and I also have MFD 04.2021. I never had any problems (not that I am aware of) so I never bothered to check before. Does the problem only happen on certain devices? I have the basic version with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM. Happy customer so far.
EDIT: I am running stock firmware, if that matters. Haven't altered anything (yet).
Used it for more than 4 months without problems (bootloader unlocked).
With Lineage 18.1, it worked great for a day, maybe even less. Now I get at least a couple ramdumps every day.
How do one check MFD?

The problem in the official forum is a "one time" thing, if you get the "waiting for flashing full ramdump", its bricked and you can't do a thing, beside sending it in.
On my brand new ZenPhone 8 running Lineage for Microg 8.1 October 7th version I'm getting the ramdump screen, but only under specific circumstances:
1. not connected to wifi/wifi off
2. on a call
3. have headphones plugged in to the jack
it almost always crashes within 20 seconds. If any of those conditions are not met it works fine (or at least appears to so far). I've tested this ~8 times in a row with all other (known) variables remaining constant.
When it crashes, pressing power for ~15 seconds shuts it down, and it can then be started normally. I hope this helps anyone else e countering the same problem.
Someone had this ramdump issue on unlocked bl but on stock rom? Especially with at least some magisk mods?

Yes! My first time with this issue. Never before.
I'm on the lastest Android 12 stock rom (UL-ASUS_I006D-ASUS-31.1010.0410.72-1.1.25-2204-user).
- Unlocked BL
- Rooted with Magisk 23
- Kirisakura_Sake_S_2.0.1 flashed with EXKM
- Only one Magisk module (Font_Manager-v5_6_4-117)
I was playing a game (Zombie Tsunami ). I got my screen freezing, ... dark screen and ramdump issue.
Edit: My MFD is 05.2021
I have too MF 4.2021 - using since 5-2021. I'm very happy with this phone. For all this time I'v got only landscape bug on video - fixed with OTA update.
I'm using stock soft - Android 12 31.1010.0410.72

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
Installed it yesterday without looking, and oh god Android 12 (and the new update) is so much worse. For some reason now on 60hz my phone constantly stutters, and overscroll is literally making me feel nauseous (and it seems like you can't turn it off without turning ALL animations off), not to mention a lot of other stuff that makes using my phone uncomfortable for me.
So i looked into downgrading/custom ROMs, and thought i'd give downgrading a try. So from what i've gathered so far those are the steps i would have to take to downgrade my phone.
Enable USB Debugging on my phone through Developer Options
Install ADB and Fastboot driver on my PC from here
Download a Redmi Note 11 Global Fastboot ROM that i want from here
Download and install MI Flash Tool from here
Make sure that my phone is at 100% charge, then turn it off, and turn it on in Fastboot mode by holding Volume Down+Power.
Connect it to my PC with USB and open Mi Flash Tool
Select the ROM folder
Select "save user data" at the bottom right
Click "flash" button at the top right and wait for the install to be done
I wanted to ask people here who know a lot more about this whether those steps are fully correct, or if there's something i missed. Also some general advices would be nice.
That's weird. Updated my spesn EU version a few days ago to 13.0.2.0 and it's hard to see what's changed from 11. No new problems that I've noticed.
Could you try a factory reset before rolling back to 11?

Overscroll is in Android 12, and i wasn't able to find any info on how to turn it off without also turning off all animations.
Notifications and any google app are ****-colored now due to dynamic theme color in Android 12, simply cause of my wallpaper, and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off.
Perhaps doing a factory reset would solve the stuttering on 60hz, but it wouldn't fix those

I'm a simple user and don't use animations or fancy themes, and I don't use it for games. My phone is a tool for comms, specialised apps and internet only and updating to 12 just sort of happened with the November security release. I hope you can sort your problems as the Note 11 is an amazing phone for the price.
Its always a rule of thumb that you should factory reset your phone after an android version update. This way it runs better and smoother. Before downgrading try reseting it and the see and even if it doesn't resolve then you can try downgrading.
Mine got updated to A12 and i immediately formatted it and now using it without an issue. Though there are no huge changes as the original A12 has like material you engine but its working fine.
After updated to Android 12 EU Version i cant See any issues. My Phone even runs better and smoother than before. I didnt Do a reset.
