Download Package Disabler Pro + (Samsung). I think it was $1.99, but it's worth having. Once installed, search "Update" and check the second Software Update from the list.

Yeah that's pretty much the only way to get rid of it for good. Mine is now to the point where it's no longer giving me the option to select "Later." Lol. I just hit the back button and it goes away, then I set it to ignore for 2 hours in notification panel. Why the heck is that the only option Google?!

I should've held off updating since I'm not sure if the night / low light shots being yellow/warm is from the update.

I did mine it was causing some wierd issues with multiple email not showing up and my mic etc. All good for now

Huge system battery drain

So I left my phone at around 90% yesterday night with both WiFi and data turned off with no apps running it background and when today I woke up all my battery was drained. I did some research and people suggested to delete google play cache etc which I did. I am still wondering about the real culprit and the reason behind this.View attachment 4582529

You have the same problem that I had. (Not bad as yours...). As you can see, all the core clocks are at maximum speed, draining battery. The solution is to change the 'scaling governor' from 'interactive' to 'ondemand'... But to do so you need to unlock bootloader and root the device. I did this last night and my battery is fine now.
You could also delete the cache+data from google play services, and reboot your phone (turn wifi off!). You will not have the problem anymore (but if you switch the Wifi back 'ON' it will come back after a while).

I see..well this sucks..this was not the usual case before, can you show me what a normal CPU profile looks like ?
also will this void my warranty if I root & unlock BL but not flash a custom ROM etc?

The normal cpu in iddle looks like the SS i've attached... It should increase clock when you're actually doing stuff, but, if the phone is iddle it should go back to the 'lowest' setting, which is what is currently in my SS.
And it will probably void warrenty, but I'm not sure... Good luck!

I am really surprised we are facing this issue even after having Android One. Wish I had waited and gone for Poco.

This issue was happening in pixel 2 as well, months ago... There are people here in the forum that own this device and does not have the problem... So maybe we're unlucky?

Go in the 'CPU' tab and change the 'scaling governor' from 'interactor' to 'ondemand' (you need to apply this in two itens, each item control 4 cores - its under the section "Big Governor" and "LITTLE governors") then reboot device.
Use cpu-z to confirm if the value was indeed changed.

Quick solution is to reboot. Fixes the issue but it gets triggered again! Submit a ticket on the feedback app.. a lot of people are affected by the CPU maxing out

It is just $50 more expensive and is available in India. No BS.
Xiaomi doesn't even reply to people or keep them updated like OnePlus does about the current issues and ETA of OTA.

A2 is like 230$ and poco is over 400 on gearbest for example. OnePlus yes sure they reply but they are lying all the time.

+1 , this sucks!!!

Poco will have their own bugs, don't worry.
this is Xiaomi world, good hardware, good price & lot of bugs.

I'm curious as why in CPU-Z, my processor is labeled as SD636 2.21ghz but the model is 660.

As for the cpu frequency, mine was like that until I stopped using the fingerprint and switched to trusted face.
It didn't get stuck ever since.
Now it discharges by 12% per hour without games, give it a try :good:

Didn't work for me. I am trying now with unpatched boot image

For those asking about updates with rooted / unlocked devices;
I'm pretty sure that you can download the update ota. But if 'system' on your phone has been modified, it won't install. Let us know. Do you have systemless root? From what I read the update should install then.

Couldn't really do much testing, but from the little I've used the phone since the update it does look like adaptive brightness is working (at least as good as any other stock Android phone I've used recently).

Idk if im paying 250 euro for a phone I demand a good working phone able to do basic needs . Taking ages to write a file and dying after 2.5 hours SoT imo is not acceptable. this is just poor quality control. The average user is not able to mess around with kernel auditor , proximity calibration and what not

Sorry to disagree, but this bug of max frequencies, affecting some and not others, is one of the most importance bug to solve or saing something about, because users are confused without knowing if their new phone has a hardware issue or not, to be return.
They had their chance to solve this in this patch if really was a software issue, now im not sure of that.
By the end of today, Xiaomi will lose a lot of A2 users.

Brandnew Phone

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
I presume you've rebooted at least once?

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?

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.

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)
