Hello everyone,
I have just signed just to share with you my feedback about my new phone : Redmi K20 Pro, and to see if anyone has some solutions for that.
Well first I need to mention that I have been always a Oneplus user , I really enjoyed using OnePlus 5T and also the OnePlus 6T that I lost last month.
So instead of buying the OnePlus 7 pro , I decided to give Redmi k20 pro a try after seeing so many great reviews.
The phone is nice looking (I got the blue one) and also it has 8G RAM and 256G ROM and snapdragon 855.
So after trying the phone for a month now , here is the things that I really hate about this phone and I hope it can be fixed soon:
1- Mobile data:
I don't know how Redmi is doing this but it consumes almost 1Gb of data per day just by checking Instagram and Facebook and WhatsApp from time to time.
I check the data usage everyday and I can see that these apps (Instagram Facebook) consume that 1Gb of data. And I don't even watch videos or anything.
While using OnePlus 6t last month I used to pay a full month for 5Gb mobile data , and I can use it the whole month , and I have been watching YouTube videos and posting instagram stories daily.
But now I have spent 40Gb of mobile data in just 5 days to do what I have been doing with 5Gb of data using OnePlus 6T.
2- Calls always on screen:
This one is really frustrating. I remember with every Android phone I ever owned , when someone calls me and I'm busy I can just click the power button and the screen goes off, but in Redmi k20 Pro , we can't do that , the call will be on the screen until it's done , all you can do is mute the call by pressing the volume button , but still the call will be always poping. Also you can't do anything else even after muting the call , in other phone you can go back to WhatsApp or whatever you were doing even that the call is still ringing silencely.
3- fingerprint always on screen
Even that Redmi gives you the option to show fingerprint while screen is off. When you disable that option , the fingerprint still works on background , when you touch it while the screen is off , it will unlock, and this really consume so much battery, I tried removing the fingerprint option, and I noticed better battery life.
4- Dual GPS
I guess this one too has something to do with the draining of mobile data and battery life. If you decided to change the option to GPS only , it will give you inaccurate locations.
Other than that the phone is really nice for the price.
If you have any solution for any of that , I will really appreciate your reply.
Thank you

You'll find most things are better by flashing a custom ROM. MIUI is really the only problem with the K20 Pro. It will moist likely fix 1, 2 and 3.
Not sure what your issue is with number 4. Using WiFi and mobile data as well as GPS has nothing to do with Dual GPS. More or less all phones have the option to use WiFi and mobile signals for location services. Using only GPS doesn't give inaccurate locations, it just takes longer to obtain an accurate location. GPS is the only way to get accurate locations, but to be quick it needs to know approximately where it is initially, this is where mobile and WiFi data helps.

Is there any custom ROM for Redmi k20 Pro ? Also I'm worry that after flashing my phone I won't be able to receive any updates? And it will has less security ?

There are a few custom ROMs around now. Check out here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development
It's still early days, but they are now good enough for daily use, with some that may be close to becoming good enough to be considered as a stable build.
You will need to manually update the ROM. However some ROMs do give OTA updates, but that only happens once the ROM is stable and becomes an official build of that ROM. The main example of this would be LineageOS.
It depends what you consider for security. Most custom ROMs get updated regularly with the monthly Android security patches. You will still be able to have the phones data encrypted. But you will need to unlock the bootloader, which can be a security risk, if someone physically takes your phone and installs something bad on the phone.

I really appreciate your replies , I just hope it they can fix the 1,2,3 issues or if there is something on the settings that I missed. Since I can't see anyone complaining about those issues yet.
Honestly, just the glass body and the extra weight that comes with it. I am afraid i am gonna break it soon. Everything else is fine.
There are bugs and they will get fixed eventually. Its still not that old, miui team is focusing more on miui 11 so my guess is most fixes will come after that.
I moved from CN to Indian and cant complain much.

Thanks for your feedback. Are you facing the same 1,2,3 issues ? Specially the calls one ? How can I fix that? Sometime someone calls me while doing something really important and it's rude to cut the call and I can't answer the call because I will lose my concentration ?
no 1 sounds very weird , how can oneplus consume less data , no logic and its 40 vs 5 gb of data

I really don't know , it something like this , for example yesterday I just checked those apps using mobile data for like 15min then I moved to wifi connection. (I didn't even watch any video on Instagram and you can see that it did consume a lot of data, may be Redmi download all stories without even checking them , I really don't know , someone need to test this)
i didnt face any of those ! talking about 1 and 2 useing K20 pro chinese flashed to global version
the rest i didnt even care actually, i use the phone with always on screen with fingerprint always on and dual GPS always on, this is why i actually purchased this thing, enjoy it without worrying about battery life
if any, this phone in battery life is next to only mate 20x with its 5000 battery, didnt face the situation when i had to charge it before bed time, and i am a REALLY heavy user

- Power button ends call, you can search within the settings for this or you can find it under Additional settings\Accessibility\Interaction controls
- Data usage, I would highly recommend to setup a data limit within settings to avoid further issue, or just flash a custom rom such as xiaomi.eu.
I don't have any of the issue you mentioned using that rom. Its not hard to do this there a plenty of guides online which are easy to follow. You will lose the OTA with the EU rom but they are releasing updates regularly which can be flashed manually after you downloaded the new release (its also very easy).
I also own a OP7pro and have to say it has its own drawbacks. Apart of the 90hz screen its not better then the k20 pro.
I hope the above helps.

Thanks for your reply.
As for the calls , I don't want to end the call , I just want to let it ring on background. It's not nice to end the call on someone (and even if I do sometime they keep calling again) , I just want to click the home button and go finish my things, while the phone is ringing silenceley (just like in the OnePlus).
As for data usage , I did set the limit , but I always reach it. Just like now , just by typing this reply using my phone and using mobile data , I have consumed more than 100Mb. Please see the screenshot
By the way here is my phone details

Seems like something (one of your app I thing) is in constat sync using your data. You can check in settings\data usage which app using the most of it. I would try a complete factory reset maybe, and add apps back one by one. This may also help you to find what causing your high data usage.
Your firmware doesn't look right though. I believe you said you have a K20 pro (and I'm sure the mi9T pro not been released with 8/256gb version), even your firmware saying your device is a mi 9t pro. I think you just have a fake rom on it from your seller...
When you starting the phone up does it say "unlocked"? If yes then the above is true, then you can just replace the bootloader with TWRP and flash what ever custom rom you want.

You have a fake global ROM. It looks like you've bought a Chinese phone with a 'global' ROM. Unfortunately this 'global' ROM is fake, as at the time of buying there was no official global ROM. You will be better installing an official ROM, or trying a Xiaomi.eu ROM, then seeing if you're still having these problems.

Yes it said unlocked , I got the phone from this website https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/redmi-k20-pro-redmi-k20/1759-redmik20pro-8gb-256gb-chn.html
It did ask me which firmware , and I went with global original unlocked.
Can you please tell me how to install original ROM? or the xiaomi.eu? What the difference ? And are they in English ? I hope there is a tutorial to avoid bricking my phone.

Right you have 3 options now.
1, Is to get adb\fastboot with all the necessary drivers, then flash TWRP, then go to xiaomi. eu (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-10-0-10-1-10-2-10-3-10-4-stable-release.47170/) to download the stable and flash it via TWRP. You can use the all in one tool from here just search through the thread or google how to flash TWRP and you find your answer.
2, Is to flash the Indian Stable (called raphaelin). You would need the MIFlashTool for that but be care full DO NOT chose "clean and lock" on the bottom right only clean (otherwise you risking to brick your device)
3, Is to flash the Chinese Stable. Again you would need the MIFlashTool and the link for the rom can be found here. Locking the bootloader wouldn't cause bricking as your device is Chinese, however I don't recommend it. Specially if the Global rom come out later on I guess you want to be on that. Using the Chinese firmware will give you English but no other language, and you will see Chinese characters here and there within the UI.
The other advantage for the Chinese and the Indian firmware is that you would have OTA working, on the EU you won't.
Sorry that I didn't really gave you any direct links but I won't do your research. If you want to get any of the above done you would have to do your own research and learn the way doing it. Once you been successful you will be proud of yourself. Most of the guides can be found here, or on google. If you are a visual person just search on youtube (eg. how to use the MI Flash tool)
I hope this helps mate, good luck and all the best

I can confirm that all the problems you are facing are due to the fake rom. If it's a fake rom, you should have an unlocked bootloader. Now first of all, take backup of all your data. Then make sure you remove K20 Pro as your device from your Mi Cloud as it can cause problems later on. Next, download Mi Flash Tool, stock China ROM and xiaomi.eu ROM. Flash the stock ROM using Mi Flash Tools and fastboot. If your bootloader is unlocked, use the option "Clean All" which is present at the bottom of Mi Flash Tool. However if you want to relock your bootloader, use the option "Clean all and lock". But using this option will lead you to unlock it once again and face a waiting period. The choice is your. Once you have done this, flash TWRP and flash the xiaomi.eu ROM. You can find various guides on how should you flash xiaomi.eu on YouTube. Hope this helps

Thank you guys for giving the time to help me here , I really appreciate that , and I hope anyone else who got my same phone will find this thread helpful.
I guess I can flash the phone using TWRP , I have done that before with some Chinese phones. My issue now is deciding which ROM to choose , I don't want the EU as there will be no OTA. Now Chinese ROM has so many Chinese characters , and indian ROM I guess it has some ads if I remember reading it on some threads ? which one you guys do you suggest ? Thanks again

I'm using EU, and I have no issue with it. Everything seems to work what I use, however I'm not using NFC so cannot comment on that. We know OTA doesn't work (not sure if you know what OTA "over the air" is). It could be a bit annoying but as I said you will have regular updates for there, but you need to install them manually. There is an advantage of that as well, some updates could case issues or even crash and with this you can just skip an update and wait for the next one? Every coin has 2 sides .
Cannot comment on the other 2 roms because this one is working for me, so why would I break something if its working fine???
Little addon, my only complain on this device over the OP7pro was the 60hz screen, but there is a mod (easy to flash, no root required only TWRP) where you can overclock your screen to 75hz. There are other rates available. This will give you a very close experience what OP would give. You can find this in Mods.

Update: I see that the Mi Netherlands: Xiaomi Nederland just has announced the Global version today https://www.facebook.com/XiaomiNederland/photos/a.527907551042020/665372840628823/
So I will wait for the Global ROM to be released then flash it on my phone. I hope this is a possible solution.
Hi, I recently ordered an x2 pro (Global) based on its great on paper specs and the huge amount of glowing reviews on YouTube. But after I ordered I read on Realme's forums and a little on here about users experiencing multiple bugs in the newest update (c26) Including but not limited to , massive battery drain, slower charging, phone overheating, decrease in SOT by as much as 60%+, low FPS in games (especially PUBG), lag in launcher, microphone not working in calls unless you cycle speakerphone on/off etc. So that's a bummer if true. My question is kind of a poll of how many are experiencing this, or if its everyone? And if it is everyone, what is the recommended newest build until a fix comes out ? How is c24? Is it worth the minor bugs to have the newer interface, or is it just as unstable where I should just avoid Realme UI all together right now and just get the latest Color OS build ? Thanks and I look forward to everyones opinions and info.
Most of what you saw on C26 is not true ! What is true is loss of SOT primarily ! A significant portion of it ! Around 2 hours for me from 9 hours to 7 and that is really bad ! About PubG that is the game not the phone , to minimize "lag" use performance mode on game space ! Charging still is fine !
Remember most users are from India and summer is here so any phone will heat up .
What I recommend for most people that has their bootloader unlocked and has some custom recovery flashed is to go back to C24 . No battery problems and lags , is the best RealmeOS update FOR NOW !
Good luck ! You will love your new toy ?

Yeah the C24 android update is good , I can't find anywhere , but finally I found in Russian realme website , anyone wants to get this firmware , just download it from their site , the charging animation and the speed of the phone is also good .
Anyone know how to block the ota's ???
Thanks guys, going to install c24... It is prompting me to update to c26 from a10.... Anyone know how to disable ota's (temporarily) until a new update is out then I can turn it back on... If I knew what server it was checking I could block it or something. Anyone that know how to do this please let me know. Thanks in advance.
No real issues on c26 for me and I know a lot of people are happy,
No battery drain,in fact getting 10 and half hours SOT according to Accubattery,
Only charging once in the morning for 15 minutes,
Not a gamer so don't have the game lag that may just be an issue with the game such as PUBG,
No lag in launcher for me,using stock launcher with animations off,
Sound quality is actually louder and clearer for me than previous RUI updates
Only thing I did notice is occasionally hang in chrome where would just have to close chrome to get out.
C.24 I had worse issues with sound,hanging and phone restarting itself with flashing Realme logo.

Definitely,The newest update c27 is even better and as stable as colorOs,I Am in Europe but both the Indian and EU software is the same so you could get the software file from either support page and update, just download and use the file manager app to select the download file,
Easy

Hope someone can help, the phone keeps freezing up during use, don't have many apps open. Seems to take a long time to open certain functions like the camera. Any suggestions please?

Hello! I have the MIUI Global 12.0.3 Stable version "QJOEUMX" and the 12.0.4 version didn't release yet, can I somehow install the version, for example V12.0.4.0.QJOMIXM, or I have to wait for the QJOEUMX to come out? Thank you!

If you already checked for update and didn't get anything, then you can go to web (these are plenty), download the 12.0.4 version and install via the Updater in your phone. I was done the same things.

Hi, like you I am on the globalEU release channel
I strongly recommend against trying to install firmware for the global channel (such as V12.0.4.0.QJOMIXM)
All being well the next release will drop soon, though I'm expecting an Android Q release for this phone shortly (there have been a lot of app updates in the past week)
Hopefully this may help with the freezes you're having
Tell me though, is it the 3gb or the 4gb version you have?
I ask because there was another guy posting who had the 3gb version and was reporting the same problem
MIUI is pretty bloated and needs a lot of spare memory to work well
He uninstalled a lot of MIUI apps and found it helped a lot

Hello! Thanks for your answer! I have the 3gb ram version, and the main problem is the cammera lagging and some games , like Pokemon go, are unplayable (sometimes the game won't even start, sometimes when i restart the phone works just fine for.. a couple of minutes). I guess i have to wait for the globalEU release :silly: . Thank you again for take the time to reply.

No problem - happy to help
The new firmware release may help a little bit I'm not expecting miracles. MIUI is just too big - something like RAM monitor from Google Play will show you how little spare memory there is on your 3gb system
Really, since there's no way of expanding your memory, the best option seems to be to reduce unnecessary processes
You might find this YouTube link helpful for some guidance on removal of unnecessary bloatware https://youtu.be/3qpYkUQwF6E
Here is everything working perfectly.
No one app keeps freezing.

Have any of you updated to the new version? Is it stable now? Does everything work fine?
A month ago I got a prompt to update to the then new android12 update but a lot of things were broken. Some apps I need(like nubank) wouldn't open for no apparent reason and the system was overall less responsive. Not to mention the NFC function was removed for no reason.
I had to go through the process of downgrading using a tutorial in this forum because the rollback package they provided was for the indian variant, so I'd rather know for sure that everything is OK before I update again
I don't know if this is any help, but I've updated to c.06 in the past without it breaking anything. I've updated to c.07 now, and it seems stable to me personally.
maybe try a factory reset before updating? I haven't done that myself btw

Hi, thanks for your response. Did you notice any drop in performance or battery life after you updated? Any problems with fingerprint, nfc, etc?

No prob. Performance has been very snappy so far. Battery is holding up great and charges as fast as before. Fingerprint en nfc are working fine.
The only annoying thing I've noticed (but maybe that's an Android 12 thing) is that the option for usb-tethering is missing from the pop-up screen when I plug my phone into my laptop. So I have to go into the settings screen to turn it on.

Coming back to report that I've updated, and while everything seems to be working fine I have noticed a drop in battery life which is quite annoying. Otherwise the rom runs smoothly and I've only noticed a small bug which sometimes prevents me from swiping up to close apps on the recent apps screen
in Realme 3.0 C.07 HDR10 Support removed for no reason.
Hello,
I also can confirm that "Allways On" is missing options on this new update...
C7 seems to be very more unstable than C6...
There is a new version out TODAY.... C08.
Best Regards,
LPC
C.07 was buggy. C.08 is even more buggy.
C.08 bugs:-
Device hangs alot.Battery draining more. Many apps aren't responding well (ex- YouTube etc.) C.06 has HDR but it even not available in C.08.
I will downgrade it to rui 2.0
Almost all alarm clock and notification apps stopped working reliably - missing alarms all the time
I've had the 11t pro for a little more than 2 months and even though it's not the best device out there, it does a pretty good job for a budge phone with such specs(in my opinion)
a few things I've noticed and not sure if others share the same frustration are:
after upgrading to miui 13.0.4 I noticed in top left corner (mic/cam)icons that show up when I open any app using them...any way to disable them?
when playing a game, I noticed phone sometimes lags so badly(though it's not a demanding game, visual wise) and I can't even have a whatsapp video call while playing without phone going terribly slow until I end the game.
sometimes out of the blue, the phone becomes super laggy even with no apps running, and I can't figure out what is causing it, so I end up restarting it.
if anyone has noticed anything else or has got any tips/tricks please share
p.s: is it doable to flash an eu rom on a device with global rom? I was told difference between both is google pay on european which doesn't exist on global, but I have it on mine.

The mic and camera icons is an Android 12 security feature to let you know when you might be listened to or seen, and I don't think it can be removed.
No idea regarding the game and slow downs. Sometimes with a major version change it is better to factory reset and set up from scratch, so that might help.
Yes you can flash different ROMs from other regions. The IMPORTANT thing is if your device came with a Global ROM and you unlock your bootloader and flash the Europe ROM, then you must not lock the bootloader again, if you do it will brick your device. You can put back the original Global ROM then lock again.
Hope that help.s

After updating from 12.5.21 to 13.0.9 I have experienced lags in various situation as well. After that I unlocked bootloader and flashed xiaomi.eu 13.0.4, but it's not much better. Now I'm thinking about downgrading to xiaomi.eu 12.5.10 or stock 12.5.21, that worked very well.

I use xiaomi Eu rom without any problem.
it is preferable for the first installation to use the script "windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format" then for the updates"windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat".

I know that It was clean installation. On stock with MIUI 13 I had the same problems.
I'm now on version 13.0.9, jumped to this version from 12, clean installation. What I'm finding is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turnoff around 23:30 each night, this seems to be some deliberate power saving function when the phone detects the person is likely asleep, and I can see in my access point log exactly when Wi-Fi disassociates and turns off, only turning on again in the morning when I unlock the phone. This may be related to having DND turned on using the schedule option, this is set from 22:00, but I have this set to still be disturbed by my contacts, so need Wi-Fi to remain connected. This all worked fine on version 12.
I can't see any settings under Wi-Fi or battery management to disable this. Anyone else seeing the same thing or have a solution?

Did some more Googling, found others having the exact same issue, see
https://www.reddit.com/r/miui/comments/tlxjjh
Appears to be a deliberate power saving feature, where the option to disable it, due to a bug or oversight, isn't available.
What is it with Xiaomi and their excessive battery saving modes.
wouldn't you find it under battery settings?

That appears to be the bug in that the options to disable it are missing. There are no settings anywhere to disable it.
