Pocophone F3

[Hailgod]

it is just a suggestion u may want to try the proximity sensor reset/fix app by tech tool
see if this help?
or what casing are you using bro?
what kind of screen protector ? ,
or you might want to clean the top of the phone where the sensor is ?

there isnt a proximity sensor. its software one using mic and top loud speaker to mimic.

It only works when the phone is vertical iirc, maybe his phone hold slanted and it doesnt activate.

Ehhh can I confirm with those using Buds with this model.

If I want to pair it with Buds Pro, I can just download the Samsung Wearables App via Google PlayStore, and pair it, and I will be able to perform settings such as turning ANC On/Off, right?

Paiseh cuz previously using Fold3 with my Buds Pro.

yes can. i use it with a buds plus and galaxy wearables app. open the buds cover and the phone immediately detect it, just like on a samsung phone.

Curious what made you change your mind, the processor is still considered pretty good even in 2022.

agreed, so much so that upcoming Redmi K50 Pro is speculated to still use this processor.

when i started using my f3, i noticed the 5ghz wifi range wasnt very good. in the same spot my f1 had 2 bars, my f3 would show a ! logo and start using data instead.

after many months i realised theres actually no issue, the wifi is still connected and if i turn off data, it works perfectly fine with 100+mbps speedtest.
But with data on, it will automatically use my 4g instead.
How do i disable this behaviour? it wasnt like this on the f1, i kept 4g on and it doesnt randomly use it.
My wifi assistant is off, developer settings all the wifi things are off. Always on data is also off.

updated to the latest ROM? Mine does not have this issue leh. although the 5ghz strength seems to be weaker than my other phones. my other phones will show full bar but f3 does not show full bar at the same spot.

you have data on?
my wifi is fine.
but my phone doesnt use wifi if both my wifi and 4g is on when its around 1-2 bar. If i turn off my data it works perfectly fine.

It depends whether the item has cashback logo. Now POCO F3 has no more cashback logo. F4 is coming soon.

Dang. :/ and getting F3 from a 3rd party shop means I cant bring it to the service center for any issues?

I guess the shop provides the warranty. So do keep the receipt properly. It is a $400 +/- phone, so don't expect top notch service, if any.
