Pocophone F3

[garychengjw]

Hi guys, I got my Poco F3 on Monday, but I've run into some issues. In the 5 days I've been using it and I've had an issue with the phone doing things on its own like calling people, or texting people, even when it was locked and in my pocket. It even changed my google account settings. I don't really know what to do because I'm a first time xiaomi user, and I've done basic virus checks with 3rd party apps like Eset to no avail. Any experienced bros can help me out ? very frustrating. thanks

do factory reset then.

Is $550 on shopee the best price currently?
Should i wait for 5.5 sale?

I didn't notice screen difference, and spores wise when doing daily stuff is the same, less than 1 sec diff only.

Actually is very subtle difference for screen. But it is visible to my eyes

Regarding the speed, is more of the stuttering i encounter when switching between apps and navigating around the phone

Any 1 knows how to revert back to adaptive refresh rate?
My backside itchy go adjust to always 120hz. Now don't how to go back

thanks for the reply. for now I've disabled lift to wake and touch for fingerprint unlock. Praying it does something.

By the way anyone knows how/where to enable pocket mode? The one to prevent accidental touches in the pocket. Can't seem to find it on my Poco, but other poco videos on YouTube shows there is such an option.

Got adaptive refresh rate meh? Mine always on 120hz

ok i found how to fix my picture in picture issue.
the colour problem occurs when the system goes to 90hz
i went to apps > show all apps > battery and performance> clear all data
now its 120hz all the time so theres no more problem

the original hz downclock to 60 wont work anymore but should be still fine

Would advise to do a restore factory settings than do a debloat

For youtube vanced? The youtube vanced pip can only work when we "back" all the way. If swipe up from bottom, the pip wont kick in

I think there is . It changes between 60 and 120.

Like in games or YouTube it is 60. But browser etc all 120. U can enable developer mode to check on the refresh rate indicator.

ya it only goes to 60hz in some apps. its also supposed to down clock when you are not tapping the screen but i havent seen that working.
