r/Xiaomi

Two weeks ago, my mom's phone broke. After a bit of research, I found the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G on Amazon for €210 (a pretty good price considering I found out Euronics sells it for €380, which is crazy). Since I care about the phone's durability, I also bought a case + screen protector combo for €15. But when it arrived, the case's buttons didn't align with the phone's buttons, and the screen protector was flat (which is wrong considering the phone's screen is curved). I returned the combo and bought a new case (I'll just buy the screen protector at a physical store because I don't want to waste more time, even though it'll cost me €20). However, when the new case arrived, it had the exact same problem! Has anyone else experienced this?

For some reason, I always thought Game Turbo was pointless: it didn't add anything and pushed the processor to the limit. I always keep it turned off because I notice the CPU and battery heating up more. I prefer it without Game Turbo—that’s my take. What do you guys think?

Hi, so it's recently regularly above 30°C and I was using my phone camera recently in air shows outdoors. I've noticed that the camera module gets very hot after just a minute or two of using and extremely hot after 5+minutes resulting in stuttering of the screen and sometimes even recording itself also I've noticed that there are problems when switching cameras (1x Vs 2.6x)

Does anybody have a solution/what can be done to counter this overheating ?

Hey everyone,

I have another question for you all: how is your battery life holding up? Mine is draining incredibly fast!

To give you an idea, today I started at about 9:30 AM with 80% battery, and it's already down to 18% right now, even though I've barely used it today (just very light usage).

On top of that, Instagram is super sluggish and is consuming a massive amount of battery. It got so bad that I actually had to set up a restriction to force-close the app after 10 minutes of use.

Does anyone have any tips or tweaks to improve battery life? Also, I have a couple of questions regarding app management:

• Is using the built-in memory (hard disk) and cache cleaner actually useful, or does it drain more battery in the long run?
• I've noticed that apps often don't seem to close completely in the background. The only thing that seems to have an effect is clearing the cache.

Any advice on how to optimize this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Smartphone: Xiaomi 15T Pro

guys this is not normal its 58gb now

I have redmi note 9 pro, and as you can see in that link, I have nearly 50 gigs of system files. What are those files and how can I delete them? Any help would be appreciated.

Just got my new Xiaomi 17 Pro Max yesterday. Opened the box, set everything up, and used it without a problem, even charged it in my car just fine. But, later at night around 9 pm, I went to charge the phone using the included block and charger cord. It was at around 30-40% at the time, and it showed it was charging and then immediately turned off. I have tried charging it while leaving it alone, using a different charger and port, and tried a bunch of different button combinations trying to turn it back on. I also plugged it into my laptop, and the phone doesn't show up at all. Is this a hardware issue, is it bricked? The phone and block aren't warm at all while charging. My aunt bought it in China a few weeks ago, and then I finally got it yesterday. It really sucks because I have been waiting so long to get it😭.. Any help will be appreciated

So, my Redmi is having a lot of freezing problems, and after some research I saw that the new update (3.0.9.0) fixed these problems, but for some reason it's not available on my device yet. Does anyone know why? I'm on version 3.0.304.0

Hi , I’m planning to buy a brand new redmi note 15 for gaming ( pubg mobile and some ps3 games on it )
Did you had any bad experience with the phone after gaming on it and do you recommend it

Hi everyone,

I bought a Xiaomi 13 — Chinese version, but the seller flashed it to the Global ROM. On HyperOS 2.0.203.0 everything worked without any problems.

But when I tried to update to HyperOS 3.0.3.0, the phone crashed into Xiaomi HyperOS Recovery. After about 10 reboots I was able to get out, but then apps started crashing constantly. In the end, only a full factory reset fixed it.

HyperOS 3.0.304.0 is already out, but I haven't tried installing it, because the crash into HyperOS Recovery happened on every single update attempt. The bootloader is locked.

I want to flash back to the Chinese ROM, as that should apparently solve my problems.

I've read that flashing via EDL might help, but I can't find a master cheaper than around $70–100 (converting from my country's currency).

If anyone knows: a way to flash without EDL, or a way to flash via EDL but cheaper, or a way to unlock the bootloader and flash it myself —

I'd be very grateful if you'd share your knowledge with someone who understands very little about HyperOS and its ROMs.

And sorry, I did this translation (since I’m not from an English-speaking country) using Qwen.
Thanks in advance!

Hey,

why have so many case manufacturers stopped making cases for Xiaomi? Brands like Spigen, Rhinoshield, etc., stopped doing so at some point. Yet, I can't imagine it's due to a lack of Xiaomi devices—they sell millions of smartphones... Right now, the only good case I can find that doesn't add too much bulk and looks understated is from Nillkin. I used to be a fan of Spigen, but they don't have anything suitable.Hey,

What to do? 14t Pro stuck at android 14 and hyperOS 1. No updates what soever

So, I just got the Photography Kit Pro for my Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and I absolutely love it. It makes taking photos so much more fun.

However, I’ve noticed that the case included with the kit doesn’t seem to fit the phone perfectly. Whenever I hold the phone upside down, it shifts/slides ever so slightly inside the case. I can feel the same thing when I rotate it back around.

Also, when I press on the sides of the case, there’s a little bit of give and it sometimes makes a creaking noise. To me, that seems to indicate that there’s a small gap between the phone and the case.

To be honest, it’s not really noticeable during normal everyday use. I’m just a little worried that the phone moving around inside the case could eventually cause scratches over time.

What do you all think? Did I maybe get a bad unit, or is the case actually supposed to fit like this?

I've had an old Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S that had taken in water damage from the bottom side type c port. Phone was charging but without Quick Charge since USB data lines had failed, data transfer was also not possible. I've ordered an new bottom pcb replacement board that has the usb port, microphone, aux port etc.. Successfully replaced the board and the cable, but it didn't fix the issue. I can charge at 5V but the data lines not working. What else could be the problem?

Only the bottom side had slightl water damage with 1-2 rusted screws, top side and most of bottom side was perfectly clean.

Hello, I have an original Xiaomi charger head that supports 90 watts, but I no longer have a charging cable. I searched and couldn't find one in my country, so I turned to Timo, and I know it's not the right option, but it's my last resort. I found a Xiaomi cable, as they claim. It supports up to 120 watts, and that was the product description :

"Xiaomi Original 6A USB-A to USB-C Fast Charging Cable 1m – 120W Max High-Speed Charging Nylon Braided Durable Cord Global Version Premium Colorful Design Wide Compatibility with Smartphones, Tablets, Laptops & More USB-C Devices"

I had a bad experience buying charging cables. Last time I bought one from a third-party brand that claimed to support 100W, but I didn't know that Xiaomi has strict limitations and rules for enabling fast charging. So what do you think? Was it a scam?

(The first post was deleted because you thought I was a spammer. I don't know why, but I hope this post won't be deleted either.)

Like many people I was taking photos of the solar eclipse. Sometimes the phone (Xiaomi 17 Pro) would switch to moon mode. And in one specific phase of the eclipse it started to add moon features to the sun. I was really disappointed by this.

Gonna buy a brand new sealed 14T Pro later today. Just wanna ask is if it still a good unit considering almost 2yrs past since its release and it will now just have 2yrs of OS update and 3 yrs of security update remaining...

Im gonna get it at 50% off from its original price and it's a 1TB variant.
