Xiaomi Pocophone F1

[kazuki666]

I am still using F1 but as secondary work, while X3 Pro as main. Not sure if its because it was dropped before or its just old, but it doesnt feel as smooth fast anymore. But then again, its really not new phone anymore, and it does serve the function as secondary can whatsapp, calls, and youtube,

Anyone has lobang to replace F1 battery?
Noticed batt life is deteoriating le

My Poco battery start to bloat, I'd it still worth to get the battery changed? if yes, where do you guys recommend?

Got mine changed at mistermobile for $38. It was constantly crashing prior to this and now seem fine.

Wanted to change at official xiaomi at funan but the online list say f1 not supported already.

My F1 died this morning....suddenly turn on black screen. Able to access the reboot function but it just circle turn and turn...press power button 5sec, eternal shutdown.

Can't access the boot menu from down vol. + power.... 4 years....

I feel you, because I noticed my F1 screen is blinking liao. Just curious. Let's say if I do monthly backups for my F1, then it crashes like your situation. No use right, because won't be able to retrieve data to restore the backup data to another poco phone also...

I daily backup to my google account, but I din restore to my new poco phone, the setup use a manual method before the cloud option.

Try not to store too many things locally, especially on a dated device.....

Try plug in and charge for a while then try turn on. If that works, just need to change battery.

Mine also turn black screen and cannot on but while plug in it works, so ended up just changing new battery.

Yeah I tried the plugged in method, because to access the boot menu, that is also one option. Not to mention that, when it 'died', it was already plugged in lol.

Still using F1 as second phone for MIUI can have 3 accounts with a same app.

If you don’t mind the risk of wasting $38, can just try replacing the battery. It might work but also may not as it could be other issues.

Can very easily move to another Poco phone.

a bit ex but pretty straightforward and fast bah. , unless you want get battery from taobao etc, wait for it and replace yourself
but then again, get some cheap replacement phone for the time also another choice before you commit to new one. personel preference.

today I finally DIY repaired and replaced my F1's charging port.

have been a nuisance with the on/off poor charging contact & slow charging.

costs just $2 https://s.shopee.sg/7Ke74wCC6Z, now it's as good as new. Parts looked different (probably not original) but have tested signal & QC all working fine.
Have also ordered a power/volume button ~$1 as i realised the inner part rubber have disintegrated affecting the button pushing

Cant believe my batt is still good, it have been a good long 6 years+?
SD845 still handling most apps decently too


Sent from Poco F5 using EDMWER app!

After 7 years... my F1 finally died (no power no charging, suspect mainboard, flex cable, or some connection)
just trying my luck here if anyone have a unwanted Poco F1 (faulty/spoilt/cracked whatsoever etc) for me to try DIY troubleshoot / salvage parts to attempt reviving just out of interest and fun?
(will gladly mail u a selfaddressed smartpac / singpost label) and maybe a token sum for a meal treat if the revival works
