Guys i am having a problem...
Just bought a new redmi note 9 2 days ago and so far its a really goodphone...BUT it is reaaally laggy..i mean opening snapchat takes about 10 seconds and other apps too, the camera app is a disaster in terms of loading times..
are you goys experiencing the same issues or have any advice for me??
i am from austria so sorry for my bad english

Which version of MIUI is using ???

There's something fishy going on there
I don't have Snapchat installed on mine but the MIUI camera opens fully within a second

Hmmm, I have the 4gb/128gb version - I can see how the extra memory might make a bit of difference, especially given MIUI's bloat, but I wouldn't have expected you to experience such slow performance. I guess we're using the same EU rom. Maybe look at trying to strip out some of the bloatware? Might help a bit?

I think you could use this. Also, there are lot of videos on Youtube about debloating Mi devices, try it.

I tried but couldn't find anything.
as far as i know it has to be adjusted in the app itself. i could be wrong tho.
we got 9 icons showing so be creative
it's a bummer that's bothering me 2 so if anyone knows a solution.
thanks anyways.. by the way, you're on b564 and does the battery get hot even when you're running 1-2 small apps?

Intermittently Unable to Receive Calls

HI I am on MIUI Global 12.0.3 (QFKMIXM) Stable ROM 10 QKQ1.190825.002 and this week, my phone suddenly is not able to receive calls which happens intermittently, sometimes I can receive calls, sometimes not, but so many people called me this week (food deliveries, package deliveries, surgery call for my Wife) and they all said that yes they did call me and that I did not even receive an SMS or Missed Call notification.
I don't know if this symptom is related to finally making a XIAOMI account and logging into it via the phone's main settings.
Also I noticed since then, while rebooting the phone I get this notification that XIAOMI services could not be activated on both SIMs 1 and 2
This to me is a sad spectacle, I had this phone for about one year now and I admit to having it dropped a few times.
What could be the issue here guys? Would like to know if this is SIM carrier related or purely a manifestation of a hardware failure?
Damn, I don't want to buy a new phone.
PS I opted out of the Beta versions of Google Phone App and Messages
Anyone who have experienced this? please help and chime in??

Sorry bout the late reply, I got pixel experience rn but tbh use whatever, and I would say its worth it just be careful if it's ur first time, don't break your phone. Pixel ROMs feel hella snappy and smooth.

Oh alrighty thanks man, did you go on fully rooted with the Pixel ROM?

pixel 4a 5G

This machine has been rooted and installed magisk and edxposed modules, but after installing some modules with edxposed at noon today, magisk suddenly has no super user rights. Then I restore the factory settings. then no command appeared on the mobile phone, and the following situation.
Re-flash Stock ROM.
yes just flash stock rom also that would be easy since Google themself provided Pixel and Nexus stock rom on there official site

well i just looked up the maxlock module, the newest version it says it works on is oreo, thats a pretty old module to try to use on such a new device. My advice is to go download the factory boot image from google and factory reset it. Then after you flash your custom image/root take a backup before installing any modules

its been fine so far i installed the proton asop core and rom and runs great, you just have to redownload pixel camera from google play for the camera otherwise it looks like crud I will admit though its a little annoying not having root but atleast with custom roms theres the possibility someone will create one pre rooted then you wouldnt even need twrp

dang return it for like 50 or more less bigger screen and same features, only thing is the 5 has a 90 hz display vs the 60 on the 4a 5g, right now though most of the main stream games dont even use 90 hz it also has a little more ram, but mine runs smooth on every gpu and cpu intensive app i have thrown at it (pubg mobile cod mobile fortnite asphalt 5 etc) but if your deal is productivity and multi tasking id stay with the 5 because of the ram

Damn, I'm inside 30 days maybe I'll check it out. Its cool also because I've always been 2-3 gens behind with an open box of something lol I just need the hotspot to work right...
I will look some more at it, I just remember thinking if I'm spending it for 5g. Its good to know the processor does awesome I think I was being a punk about it not being the newer ones :/ but now that I've had some time I may look at it again

For me I am on global stable and never had any issues since 12.5.4 (now on 12.5.7). Perfect in every way. I use it for sooooo many apps, bank app, photos, WhatsApp, investments, binance, work related apps x2, insurance, google pay, etc.. never had any issue

s hello guys, on my mi 11 pro with the xiaomi.eu rom was a disaster. I have to start over several times before I can unlock it
After starting this thread I have actually been having a better time using the fingerprint unlock. I think it is down to simply aiming my finger in the correct place. Still not perfect but much better, maybe the sensor need to be larger for ease of use?

Question LINK: MIUI14 official on Global version

Hi All,
just got TKAMIXM 14.0.1.0, updating at the moment.
will upload for others once i can.
-------------------------
Update:
Link below for anyone wants to try it. It is really good except I noticed slower charging, not sure why.
MIUI14 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Where and on what platform was it published?
can you share the link?

I got it official, I am registered as a pilot tester and I get early updates, official updates.
At the moment it is uploading, 4.5gb so please bare with me. I'll share once ready.
Been using it the last 4 hours, it is really great so far. In about 2 hours I'll use games and see again how it will be. But generally speaking, way better than MIUI13 13.6 global.

How did you update manually?
I am new with this equipment and it has been 2 years since I flashed cell phones. Mine is also Chinese with global ROM
What is the correct way to install it? Wait OTA or how?
OTA , local update file.
To do this go to the update window, and keep pressing on miui logo for about 5 to 10 times. You'll get a message saying additional features added. Then press the 3 dots and choose (choose update package). Should start updating immediately after you go to the ota file downloaded to your device.
If you get any errors for any reason, relocate the file to the following directory ( download - downloaded_rom) and put your file there.

security? you have to check it, complete overhall (not much with UI) but look at the imporvements, you can have memory extension up to 7GB now instead of 3. and some really nice settings, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay smoother than before. + security update.

at first, i thought the same, but after a day of using it, way better and faster than before.
Some stuff have been fixed.
For instance when you changed the DPI in MIUI 13, a reboot would reset it (which frankly is a pain...)
Now on MIUI 14 it sticks after reboot
Dark mode seems a bit better implemented as well.
I agree that everything feels slightly snappier (But it was already too notch anyway)
Was considering upgrading to the 13 Ultra or Honor Magic 5 Pro but I am less eager now...

The latest snapdragons are faster, but unless you're gaming it's doubtful you'll feel it in everyday usage.
Battery life likely a bit better and that you would see it.
What I care the most about is the camera. I have a feeling that it's been significantly improved since the phone was released (No idea id MIUI 14 improves it further, too early to tell). Unfortunately DXO doesn't retest later during the phone life so it's hard to tell if the newest phone are actually over performing significantly in that department (Sensors haven't improved much and the software seem to be what makes most of the difference)
