Switch over to NitrogenOS 11 last year, upgraded to 12 in Dec 21.

If you are thinking of going to a third-party build, you will need an OTG adapter or SD card as the Recovery still cannot read the storage contents.

I haven't install custom rom since Galaxy S2 lol I'll only do it if i don't ever intent to use the phone again and just wanna see how smooth the new Android is on old hardware. I'm more into stability and security so usually won't risk a custom rom if i'm using it as a main phone.

Can check any setting to set for incoming call or WhatsApp call answering with Bluetooth headset. Previously able to do so, recently not able to listen with my Bluetooth headset.

For music listening it's fine.

Remove and pair your device again. Remember to check share contacts etc.

still one of the best value phone purchase I ever gotten

$200+ for headphone jack + microsd + mid tier chipset + 120hz

not complaining

better than my pixel 4XL ($1000+) which died after close to 1 year of mild usage

Agree. Mine is X3 Pro which I bought for less than $300. For this value, I think not many brands / models can match. I almost wanted a Redmi Note 10 instead, but opt for X3 Pro because I prefer performance over picture quality

My X3 Pro couldn't boot up anymore. It restarted on its own once the previous day. Otherwise, it has been working normally without any issue. Has anyone encountered this issue and is there any way to revive it?

Bring it to official shop at Funan for checks. Once they tell you motherboard change, then advice is dont bother liao. Easily say $200? IMHO Redmi and Poco phones are not really that worth paying for official retailer repairs, the staff also will not encourage you. And even if you don't mind the money and minimal warrenty after repairs, the repairs can take around 1 - 2 weeks depending if they have the specific parts locally too.
If you really want to recover the phone for data, one way is to find ah beng shop but at own risk. Personal experience with such neighbourhood shops is trial and error. One thing good about such shops, most of the times they can repair your phone without wiping your memory BUT personal experience the phones for some reason will start to behave weirdly after some months. So usually when I do is after repair, i quickly backup the stuff out, keep the phone as backup use liao. Another good thing is that such shops can usually repair within half a day. I done it for screen and motherboard replacement, half a day to 1 day can be collected.

Just curious though. Which phone is a good replacement for X3 Pro currently? I moved from Redmi Note 2 Pro > Redmi Note 4 Pro > Poco F1 > Poco X3 Pro. Actually I wouldn't have left F1 if not that it is only 64GB and memory space is running flat. Poco X3 Pro for me is a good replacement on 128GB. I don't need fancy photography, don't need ultra flat and light weight. It is quite a monster in terms of performance, though it gets a little heavy to carry at times...

Thanks for sharing. I have the same thoughts as you. I will probably try Funan but if they say I need to change the motherboard, I won't bother. I'm only interested in recovering as much data as I can. It's a pity cos the phone was still working very well without any issue and I feel the specs can still hold up very well against newer phones in the current market at that price point. I have also been looking for a replacement over the past few days but nothing caught my eye yet. Agree on the weight as it's really quite bulky.

Don't update to MIUI 13.0.1.0 for Poco X3 NFC.
This OTA is full of bugs.

The Android 11 based MIUI 12.5.8.0 is more reliable compared to Android 12 based MIUI 13.0.1.0
Does this also apply to other Xiaomi phones as well like Redmi Note 10 Pro? Cos I've seen some users of the latter saying that there are some bugs with MIUI 13 on that phone..

Based on various sources, the MIUI 13 OTA has caused many bugs on most of their phones.

For Poco X3 NFC, the phone may experience unexpected reboot. This problem I suspect is due to Google Play Security Update.

When the phone suddenly reboot itself, the Google Play Security Update downgrade itself back to 01 July 2022.

To prevent unexpected reboot, I have no choice to stop updating the Google Play Security Update.

The Poco M3 Pro 5G aka Redmi Note 10 5G with MIUI 13.0.1.0 may cause the phone to stuck at boot screen and may cause display glitch. Due to this, MIUI 13.0.2.0 was released for Poco M3 Pro 5G about 3 days later to solve this problem.

Later on Poco / Redmi release MIUI 12.5.6.0 after V13.0.2.0 was released.

I chose to manually update this phone to MIUI 12.5.6.0 as Android 11 build has been tested properly.

So is V12.5.6.0 better to have or V13.0.2.0? The latter is based on Android 12 right? How is Android 12? Should we stick to Android 11?
