Should I update to MIUI12? - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

This is likely very subjective but I'm curious if whether I should update to MIUI12. I was planning on doing so when the next MIUI12 update drops rather than going for the initial release.
Generally have no issues with MIUI11 aside from high standby battery drain. MIUI10 was modestly better with very little in the way of standby drain. So if M12 has fixed that then I'll be eager to jump aboard.
I'm guessing the M12 works fine with Magisk and TWRP? Any prerequisites? If I update I'll probably flash it clean through MiFlash cleanall-nolock.

I suggest you to start using MIUI Eu version which is much more stable is clean and awesome
battery life is better on Eu version.

One flaw that bothers me a bit, is the fact that you can't go from "silent" mode to normal ring mode, without the phone playing your notification sound. Perhaps anyone knows if this is a bug, or just a "feature" with MIUI 12....?

Just set your notification sound to silent/nothing. Who needs to hear a notification sound every minute.
And OP. Just go for MIUI eu 12. It's perfectly fine. I prefer the optional new status toggle area. Performance on miui 11 was quite slow and sluggish, whereas the latest miui 12 releases are faster with a tad less battery life. (Cpu governor)

unable to fix stand-by drain

Hey guys
I am having a serious battery problem with my Chinese K20 Pro. I am not sure whether or not it has something to do with the sensor issues I've got with that phone (compass always twisting, see thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/k20-pro-compass-spins-calibrates-t3972249)
The point is, my phone is constantly draining battery in the range of up to 40% over night. Even in airplane- and/or ultra battery saving mode and also on a freshly setup device using miflash with a stock fastboot ROM without a single additional app installed. So I can exclude it's caused by any app wakelocks.
I am really clueless now about what else I can do.
Maybe you should try uninstalling Yatse app once if you haven't tried it already.

Its just a sample screenshot. In this case yatze was only active for 4 seconds. as i said, the same drain occurs when no apps at all are installed
I really think it's a hardware problem. I got the sensors issue fixed but battery drain is still huge
I got the same Issue since MIUI 11. irritating, will go back to miui 10 and test
But I had MIUI 11 running brfore without that problem
Guys when you pass from one version of android to new one, it is the best to clean flash, not just update from a9 to a10.
I am on miui 11 eu global stable android 10 and no drain of battery. since 2.5 days i am on 66% of battery
I have always clean flashed all tested ROM's. Now I have just tried a MIUI 10 ROM (also clean flashed) and guess what!?

Redmi 4X pie problems

Hi redmi 4x users, if I install any custom rom running on Android pie it's getting serious overheating and battery drain, also during browsing internet or messaging. I want to ask everyone who use custom ROMs on redmi 4x, if you face these issue too or it's hardware problem on my device only. Overheating isn't so strong on lineage os but it's still there, so only thing I can do, is having MIUI rom. The most strange is, it's happen only on any non-MIUI rom, on modified MIUI rom(from rom builder) isn't this issue, so I'm really confused where is whole problem, maybe in fact, that stock Android hasn't MIUI aggressive optimization, but I don't much like it, only good thing I like on MIUI is temperature of whole device and battery life ?.
Sorry for bad english and thanks for any reply.
I've used Pixel Experience ROM with Android 9 (Pie) based since June last year until now and everything works normally. The temperature is between 28° C (idle) and 40° C (gaming) and I think it's still acceptable.
No, i don't have this issue. Currently i am using havoc os 2.9 based on pie and i am using Pie builds since when it was made available. i get screen on time of 8+ hours. there is no heating issue while charging nor doing other tasks/multitasks. however when i use Gcam for longer time it tends to go little warm and that is totally fine because it is high CPU demanding.
Maybe you should try clean flash with latests gapps(if you use Gapps) sometime Gapps also causes heating issue.
I've used my phone on pie and 10 for a long time, but went back to stock MIUI in the end (7.1.2 ugh) because the battery drain was ridiculous, especially when on mobile data. got sick of having to go everywhere with a wall charger+cable or 10,000 mAh powerbank+cable, or both+cable. now it's much better, but I feel the battery aging, the phone has been in use non-stop since december 2017.

I use Havoc OS with latest android version (Q) since February and there is no bugs or battery draining problem.
Maybe its your device problem.

ROM recommendation Mi A2 battery downgrade

My Mi A2 is losing battery very quickly, I want to know what rom install to improve the battery's performance.
I also have this problem. I'm currently on lineage os 18.1 and I'm planning to update with lastest OTA to check if something is getting better.
My main problem is that my little and big cores are setting the min frequency too high, getting on big the 1700mhz and on low the 1100mhz, always, regardless of my customizations. I tried to reset all custom settings but nothing worked.
So I hope for this ota update. If not I really wanted to switch over Android 12, but currently there are two roms (pixel experience and derpfest) and they're pretty alpha-stage, not suitable for daily driver.

Question Slow charging and other bugs after miui 13 OTA update

I'm on 13.0.1.0 (India) experiencing extremely slow charging, constantly dropping VoWiFi and missing the option for dark mode in some apps. Overall experience feels a bit laggy too. Is this just me or everyone is facing this? I've factory reset but it's no use.
What is the advantages of version 13. Why not stay on 12.5 ?

Well the update notification came and I updated, didn't give it much thought.
I understand. I read so much buggy -messages about this release

So I have to endure this until it (hopefully) gets fixed in next update or is there any solution?
Go back to 12.5.9 . Maybe you have to format data (lost of all your settings). Search for "downgrade" ....
Update: Apparently the Slow charging issue goes away after one full charge-discharge cycle. It's charging as fast as before if not faster.
The charging logic which decides how fast the battery can be charged needs accurate information about the battery state. After an update a calibration seems to be necessary which is done by a full cycle (complete discharge, then fully charge). Before a calibration the battery stats may be inaccurate.
The fastest part of charging is being done in the area 10-50%. If it does not know in which area it is, it seems it assumes that it is in the 90-100% area where only slow charging is possible, or just says "don't know anything" and only charges slow for safety reasons. That makes sense.
After OTA update on my note 10 pro max, I got shocked after finding out those bugs on this update :O Though Magisk root was gone, I had to flash it again :/ but the system gets stucked after a boot. While magisk root was installed, it happened every time. Can anyone suggest me any good options? I've done hiding the magisk app, but it didn't worked.

Question From oxygenos to coloros?

I have the EU Version. Can i switch from oxygenos to coloros? If yes how?
Can I ask why you want to downgrade your phone? Coloros is terrible and limits a lot of control. I ditched it on the 9RT as soon as I could.
I think the reason might be high battery drain in the EU and IND ROM , the color OS was giving close to 7hours SOT but oos gives like 4 hrs only
I hate to tell you, but having used both the Oppo Find X5 Pro (ColorOS) and OnePlus 10 Pro (OxygenOS) - the Find X5 Pro actually has the better OS. OnePlus removed a lot of the customisation options from ColorOS to "match" older OxygenOS releases, and in the process introduced some annoying bugs like not being able to dismiss hidden notifications.
There's nothing in OxygenOS that goes above and beyond ColorOS these days - in fact, OxygenOS is the poor relative! (that's why my OP 10 Pro has been sold this morning).

And that battery drain is really awful!
I'm not sure if you can go from OOS to COS but I wouldn't bother, the amount of people wanting to go the other way is incredible.
Plus I do not buy into the battery drain issue. My first ever discharge I got a little under 11 hours SOT and I was not holding back at all.
If I had to guess I'd say you could jump to color OS, you'd have to grab a firmware, pull payload.bin then boot to Fastboot mode and flash each image to each part of the phone..
Just an FYI, ROMs are coming so if it were me I'd optimize android 12 OOS as best as I can and wait for the good times to roll in.
I will say coloros has a much longer SOT than OOS, but that is because no more than 5 apps are allowed to launch on startup so it is really debilitating since you will not receive any notifications until you open the app, but then coloros will close the app after a while and you won't get notifications again. ColorOS would be good if they get rid of all the debilitating features, remove phone manager, allow you to change default apps without changing it back, and install the default android installer.
