Useless space for notification bar under the notch

Hello, i've ordered a Xiaomi Mi 8 and i'm waiting for it.
I watched many reviews and i found out that there's an useless space under the notch area, used for the notification bar, that's pretty annoying to be seen. Has it maybe disappeared with further MIUI updates? Or maybe MIUI10? Or maybe xiaomi.eu rom?
Thanks

What useless space do you mean? Provide a picture.

Ok, yeah, there are a few pixels not being used by MIUIs design in the status bar.

Reducing DPI from 440 to 360 adjusts UI (a little bit more tiny, personally I found this size perfect for this screen size) and adjusts notification bar to the notch perfectly

Ok i'll try as soon as it comes to me. Thanks, i'll let you know.
Hoping xiaomi will fix it, as Poco did, actually.

Just to be sure, how to change DPI in MIUI?

will the notifications appear if i change the dpi ?
change dpi under accessibility settings

I saw from some users that used this method, the notification bar still isn't aligned with the notch, as on the Poco F1. Other methods?

Probably solved...
Xiaomi.eu staff member told me that this problem has been solved in the latest update. Personally I'm not able to check it now. Can someone prove it?

There are some apps on play store like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chornerman.easydpichanger
Or with an adb terminal and "adb shell wm density [number]"
On the latest xiaomi.eu version this space is automatically adjusted without those tweaks

Mi 9 can't change custom camera watermark.

I just got my Mi 9 yesterday.
I'm on the latest global MIUI version 10.2.13.0.
I went to the camera settings > custom water mark.
I changed it to something like "Mine's phone", but after taking the photo, it still shows "AI Triple Camera".
I asked my local facebook forums about it, and their Mi9 had a "save" button when changing the custom watermark.
Mine had no save button.

Same issue on my device by same MiUI version.
Seems like it's a bug and I think It will be fixed in next update.:good:

Weird bug, others who have the same MIUI version (same phone of course) don't have that issue.
I tried changing my region to India, and still not working.

I fixed it. Just press on the top right corner of the screen on the custom watermark setting.
There is a checkmark there, but its hidden (bug).

Yeah It's worked for me too.
But I totally hate watermark ?

The issue fixed for me, on 10.2.14 update.

How To Guide Changing your Refreshrate to 90hz.

If you want to change your Refreshrate to 90hz follow this quick guide.
Tested on the latest miui version.
First of all go to the Playstore and download following app:
SetEdit SettingsDatabaseEditor - Apps on Google Play
Provides direct access to the Android settings database
play.google.com
Afterwards go to your settings and change your Refreshrate to 120.
Open the app and find the entry "user_refresh_rate" "120".
Click on the entry, choose to edit and change the number to 90.
Repeat this step with the peak entry and change it to 90hz too.
Close the app.
Voila: you running on 90hz now. In my opinion that's the sweetspot between snappiness and battery saving.
Props to jmikepr:
Unable to make this work. Tried it about a hundred times. Running. EU ROM 12.6
Edit: Got it to work by changing peak display setting and user display setting. Thanks for the tip. 120 hz is overkill. 90hz is perfect.

UPDATE PLEASE READ:
UPDATE FOR EVERYONE!
Changing your refreshrate to 90hz will make some crazy things to your display!
It will get a greenish tint !
Grey will also be displayed really red/brownish
It will flicker even on max brightness!
It will burn in faster - at least my new mi11 u has already some burn ins compared to my mi11 from CN which is like 3 months old now I don't know for sure tho! It's so minimal only my hawk eye can see it anybody else couldn't till now.
Sorry but I just found this out now because my colours looked to differently with low brightness. I also got an exchange device and thought it was just a bad display.

Anyway to dynamically adjust it based on what's on screen and whether it's moving or not?

I read about a way, I think it was from another manufacturer , and it could lower the refresh rate down to 1hz when looking at a still image etc or a page of text etc , something that doesn't need to be constantly refreshed which would obviously be a major battery saver
If I can find the article again I'll post the link

To my surprise, my eyes can't even accept 90hz now. Talk about spoiled.
Great method regardless, thanks for sharing!

Yeah I think so too. I don't understand why everything needs to look fancy. I want a fast and snappy experience

Great stuff, will definitely try this when my Mi 11 Ultra arrives. 90Hz is perfect for me, I don't need 120Hz as I don't play mobile games.
Anyone knows if it'll stay @ 90Hz after a software update? Or it will change itself back to 120Hz?

Maybe you refer to OnePlus 9 Pro, that has stock dynamic refresh rate...:

I would just take a quick look after an update. To be honest I don't know tho!

Thank you very much for the solution to change the refresh rate. It works perfectly.
Even if after the upgrade will revert to 120, you can change it afterwards very easy.
Cheers !

How to change refresh rate manually using only default.prop file? Thanks.

One other cool thing I found.
If you set it to 90/90 ( user refresh/peak refresh) like instructed above, i saw that it also drops to 60 when seeing static web browser page content ( for example reading this forum pages ) which is actually pretty cool because it saves even more power this way.
Will test to see if it does the same with the default 120hz but i rear think 120hz is overkill for daily usage.
Only scenario where I can find it useful would be games that support 100hz plus refresh rates .
LE it would seem that the "dynamic" refresh only worked briefly until I clicked on the auto brightness icon in the drop down menu.
LE 2 it actually switching to 60hz when brightness is around and over 80%
Take care and thanks again !

Thx for your reply. Did you already test it out? I was quite busy the last days - sorry for my late response.
Honestly 120hz are kinda gimmick right now. You can feel the difference but it's draining even more battery and like you said as long as there is near to no app supporting it it's just something to be proud of maybe haha
Best regards
Lol you already did test it out . sorry

If anyone find a way to dynamically change the refresh rate please let us know.
For example when watching YT videos maxed at 60hz would be great to scale the display to that resolution ( if it's already possible please let me know )
I saw that the game "The elder scrools: Blades" automatically switches to 60Hz when playing ( haven't tested out with other games because i don't game that much ) .
Also i noted that, if, for whatever reason, the display doesn't change to 60HZ when the game needs it, the game will continuously load and never enter the actual first menu
A quick fix is to increase the brightness over 80% so that the screen is already at 60 before starting the game
Cheers !

Thanks @speedtripler. I just disabled animations in developer options and it's like sh*t off a shovel!
Cheers

Question Weird behaviour back button

Hello everybody I have a weird issue with the "back" button on the bottom toolbar, basically when I press it the system register like I press it twice or long pressed and this resulting in an application force close or a double back, any idea how to fix this or if I can modify the milliseconds response time if such button?

I have the same issue on my Mi 11 Ultra running MIUI.eu 13.0.12. I have not found a solution for it yet either.

It started with the latest global update 13.0.4.0

I have not faces this issue because I use gestures not buttons. No issues since latest launcher update, maybe you can update your launcher will fix it? What version is your launcher?

MIUI SYSTEM UPDATES | MSU
New MIUI Alpha Launcher Update V4.39.0.5500-07271657 ⚠️May not Work on Global ROM 1. Fixed the problem that the folder animation is occasionally lost; 2. Fixed the occasional crash problem. #launcher English Channel | Español | Russian | Portuguese | Turkish | Discussion | YouTube Channel

Yes. Not happening to me after updated with above. I think, I updated a few apps with latest Chinese and one of them was above.

They work on global? well so far it seems to work the new launcher

Since MIUI 13, nearly all Chinese apps working perfect on global one.

Mmm unfortunately the problem with screen refresh rate is back, even with this version of the launcher

Must be themes or another package that solved the issue for me regarding refresh rate. Cannot remember which was it.

Question Does anyone have a grey filter like screen coming across Dolby vision certified contents in Netflix?

In one of the image you can see grey filter like shade across the screen this is Dolby vision supported content on Netflix.
In the other image this content it only has Hd Support on Netflix but there is no grey filter like shade.
